INTRODUCTION: Land is a critically important national resource in which all human activity is based. Its efficient management is vital for economic growth and development of Rural Areas to harness the full potential of the available land resources and prevent its further degradation, development of rain fed area, degraded area is of great significance. Its management is complex and multi dimensional and its development requires scientific, holistic and innovative approach. Unprecedented population and cattle pressure and demands of Society on scarce land, water and biological resources and the ever increasing degradation of these resources is affecting the stability and resilience of our ecosystem and the environment as a whole. The expansion of human settlement and infrastructure, intensification of Agriculture, expansion of agriculture into marginal areas and fragile ecosystem emphasizes the need for integrated planning and management of resources. With ever increasing population, the needs of the people is also ever increasing. The population of Mizoram has now reached 10 lakhs resulting in increasing demand for commodities and lack of work for both the urban and rural population. Most of the rural population depends on shifting cultivation for their livelihood. Shifting Cultivation is practiced by clearing forest areas. The previous year’s jhumland is kept fallow for 5-6 year’s depending on the area available for cultivation for each village. Shifting Cultivation results in burning of large areas of forest including those that are not required for cultivation thereby destroying forest cover, there are fewer trees and shrubs to decrease the flow of water, hence only the top soil becomes wet leading to increased runoff speed of rain water resulting in low underground water table. Those natural springs we have that we so proudly say never runs dry have now become dry during the winter months. The water we have left barely meets the requirement for human consumption not to mention those required for irrigation of farmland. The thinning forest cover decreases moisture content of the soil making it unsuitable for plantation of trees and crops. Temperature also increases considerably because of this. Our once fertile lands will soon become deserts if we do not put a stop to shifting cultivation soon. Each watershed area under the project is a micro level effort to achieve the objective of watershed programme through treating under productive and hitherto unproductive lands and taking up allied activities for the benefits of the rural poor and landless. This project adopt a common strategy of multi-resource management involving all stakeholders within the watershed, who together as a group, co-operatively identify the resources, issues and concerns of the watershed as well as develop and implement a watershed plan with solutions that are environmentally, socially and economically sustainable. 3 WATERSHED MANAGEMENT WORKS (56% of WORKS COMPONENT) Focus will be on:- 1. Developing water, land/degraded land and abandoned jhum land on watershed basis, keeping in view the capacity of land, local condition and needs. 2. Promoting overall economic development and improving Socio-economic condition of the poor and disadvantaged section inhabiting the project area. 3. Restoring ecological balance by harnessing, conserving and developing natural resources. i.e., land, water and vegetative cover. 4. Encouraging village community for sustainable community action for operation and maintenance of assets created and further development of potential of natural resources in the watershed. 5. Employment generation, poverty alleviation, community empowerment and development of human and other economic resources of the village. Watershed Management works will be taken up in multi-tier approaches as below:- 1. First Tier-Canopy/Ridge Area Treatment (a) Stoppage of Shifting Cultivation: As per the report of the Mizoram Remote Sensing Application Centre on 12th August, 2010, the soil cultivation of the State became critical which needs to be systematically addressed to check further degradation and soil erosion. According to MIRSAC report the vegetative cover of Mizoram is shown below:- Sl.No Total Geographical Area 21087 Sqm % 1 Soil loss due to weather, etc. 4352.36 Sqm 20.64 2 Virgin Forest 1537.25 Sqm 7.29 3 Open Forest 2047.55 Sq Km 9.71 4 Scrub land/degraded Forest 5193.73 Sq Km 24.63 5 Area covered by Lake, Pond and Rivers 139.17 Sq Km 0.66 6 Bamboo Forest 7816.94 Sq Km 37.07 Out of the total area of 21087 Sq Kms, 999.52 Sq Kms. have been annually degraded due to shifting cultivation. Hence, a shift from jhumming to permanent farming is the need of the day. (b) Afforestation: Besides the natural forest areas, more areas are proposed for afforestation under IWMP and other Schemes. Increased forest area will result in decrease of runoff water, soil water content and increased precipitation/rainfall, increased underground water table. 4 (c) Prevention of soil erosion: Due to the hilly nature of Mizoram and deforestation, rain water easily erodes the fertile top soil. Fertility decreases considerably in places of minimal forest cover. To prevent more soil erosion, construction of terraces, afforestation and other means are proposed so that there will be minimum soil content in the runoff water. 2. Second Tier-Horticulture Crop Area Treatment:- (a) Construction of water harvesting structures and better utilization of water resources: Rainfall is still moderate and whatever rainfall we get, if we have proper harvesting structures, is more than enough for every household use without any other source of water. In place of permanent cultivation where natural streams are available for water harvesting using gravity and in those places where water is not available by gravity also, water harvesting should be encouraged. The harvested water can be used both for human consumption as well as for irrigating farmlands and will provide the required water during dry season. (b) Land Development: The areas covered under IWMP project are planned to be developed in such a way that the productivity will increase. The areas proposed for afforestation will be developed by making terrace. Construction of terrace will prevent unnecessary water runoff, thereby, recharging the water table. In places where permanent cultivation will be practiced, depending on the slope of the terrain, terrace, bench terrace and contour trench will be constructed. Cultivation of commercial crops will be practiced in such places and irrigation facilities for dry season will be provided. (c) Gestation period treatment: The Permanent Horticulture crops planted in the 2nd Tier-Area will be mostly Orange, Hatcora, Nimbu, Litchi, Mango, Avocado and other cash crops. These crops will be harvested only after 5 years or more. During the gestation period, farmers and cultivators will be encouraged and assisted to introduce annual cash crops to meet their daily weeks. 3. Third Tier-Agriculture Crop Area Treatment: (a) Wet Rice Cultivation & Mixed Farming: In places of permanent cultivation, the land will be prepared in such a way that 2 – 3 crops can be planted in a year. This cannot be achieved with only the natural fertility of the land; therefore, provision will be made so that the cultivators can raise domestic animals

Abstract: Seasonal activity of Lepidopteran insect of Hyblaea puera Cramer conducted during three years during of 2016 - 2018 on two aspects of eastern and western sites of Aizawl District, Mizoram. Hyblaea puera Cramer is the most wide spread and serious pest. Outbreaks occur almost every year in India over extensive areas. During these outbreaks in the early flushing period of teak, trees usually suffer a total defoliation, sometimes there is partial defoliation later in the growth season. The present investigation revealed that for bringing out a systematic documentation regarding the damage caused by different insect pests attacking teak plantation in area as well as to find out the relationship of different climatic factors with their incidence. Keywords: Geographical bearing , Hyblaea puera Cramer, Insect Pests, Infestation, Tectona grandis Linn.F. Introduction Teak (Tectona grandis L.f.), a valuable timber species, is attacked by a number of insect pests Mathur,(1960); Mathur and Singh,(1960) ; Baksha,(1990), (1993); Chaiglom,(1975); Menon,(1963). But only one insects-teak defoliator, Hyblaea puera Cramer cause major defoliation of teak in Mizoram. About 187 insects species have been found feeding on living Teak tree in India, Hutacharern and Tubtim, (1995) Amongst the foliage feeders, the teak defoliator, Hyblaea puera Cramer (Hyblaeidae, Lepidoptera) and teak skeletonizer, Eutectona machaeralis Walker (Pyralidae: Lepidoptera) are the most widespread and serious pests.

Research Article MORPHOTECTONIC STUDIES OF THE TUIRINI DRAINAGE BASIN: A REMOTE SENSING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM PERSPECTIVE *Fuzal Ahmed and K. Srinivasa Rao Department of Geology, School of Earth Sciences and Natural Resources Management, Mizoram University, Aizawl – 796004, Mizoram, India *Author for Correspondence ABSTRACT Morphotectonic indices have been proven to be useful tools in evaluating the degree and nature of tectonic activity in a specific area, and are commonly used to identify areas affected by recent tectonic deformation. Remote sensing and GIS techniques are considered to be suitable for identifying and quantifying the effects of neotectonic activity over a large area. The analysis has been carried out by using remote sensing and GIS tools in order to understand the ongoing tectonic changes of the terrain in response to neotectonic activities. The study area exhibits complex topography as a result of folding and faulting of sedimentary sequences, and the drainage system is controlled by underlying lithology and geological structures. The basin is elongated in shape due to the combined effects of thrusting and folding in the area. As a whole the terrain is tilted towards the west with asymmetric nature of the basin. The overall results reflect that the Tuirini drainage area is tectonically active in nature. Keywords: Morphotectonic Indices, Neotectonism, GIS, Tuirini River, Mizoram INTRODUCTION The Himalayan mountain belt was evolved during the late Cenozoic deformation caused by convergence collision between the Indian and the Eurasian plates (Molnar and Tapponnier, 1975), which represents one of the youngest and largest foreland belts in the world.

  • Cultural Factors of Christianizing the Erstwhile Lushai Hills (1890-1940)
    Mizoram University Journal of Humanities & Social Sciences (A Bi-Annual Refereed Journal) Vol IV Issue 2, December 2018 ISSN: 2395-7352 eISSN:2581-6780 Cultural Factors of Christianizing the erstwhile Lushai Hills (1890-1940) Zadingluaia Chinzah* Abstract Alexandrapore incident became a turning point in the history of the erstwhile Lushai Hills inhabited by simple hill people, living an egalitarian and communitarian life. The result of the encounter between two diverse and dissimilar cultures that were contrary to their form of living and thinking in every way imaginable resulted in the political annexation of the erstwhile Lushai Hills by the British colonial power,which was soon followed by the arrival of missionaries. In consolidating their hegemony and imperial designs, the missionaries were tools through which the hill tribes were to be pacified from raiding British territories. In the long run, this encounter resulted in the emergence and escalation of Christianity in such a massive scale that the hill tribes with their primal religious practices were converted into a westernised reli- gion. The paper problematizes claims for factors that led to the rise of Christianity by various Mizo Church historians, inclusive of the early generations and the emerging church historians. Most of these historians believed that waves of Revivalism was the major factor in Christianizing the erstwhile Lushai Hills though their perspectives or approach to their presumptions are different. Hence, the paper hypothesizes that cultural factors were integral to the rise and growth of Christianity in the erstwhile Lushai Hills during 1890-1940 as against the claims made before. Keywords : ‘Cultural Factors of Conversion,’ Tlawmngaihna, Thangchhuah, Pialral, Revivals.

  • Pseudolaguvia Virgulata, from Mizoram, India
    http://sciencevision.info Sci Vis 10 (2), 73 Research Report April-June, 2010 ISSN 0975-6175 On the new catfish, Pseudolaguvia virgulata, from Mizoram, India Lalramliana Department of Zoology, Pachhunga University College, Mizoram University, Aizawl 796001, India A new species of catfish was recently identi- fied from some major rivers of Mizoram. Heok Hee Ng and Lalramliana named the new catfish Pseudolaguvia virgulata, after its distinctively striped colour pattern (virgulata = “striped” in Latin). Besides its distinctive colour pattern, which consists of pale stripes running along the entire length of the body, a pale y-shaped marking on the head and brown stripes running through the caudal fin lobes, the new catfish also differs from congeners in other characters. These in- clude: head width 21.2–24.4% standard length; pectoral-fin length 28.5–29.1% standard length; length of dorsal-fin base 17.2–19.9% standard length; dorsal-spine length 21.5–24.0% standard length; serrated anterior edge of dorsal spine; thoracic adhesive apparatus reaching beyond base of last pectoral-fin ray; body depth at anus 14.5–17.4% standard length; length of adipose- fin base 12.9–15.0% standard length; caudal peduncle length 18.2–20.2% standard length; caudal peduncle depth 7.8–9.7 % standard length; snout length 48.0–54.9% head length; interorbital distance 29.3–35.2% head length; 29 –30 vertebrae. Pseudolaguvia virgulata was collected from river system, one of the three rivers that form clear, shallow, moderately flowing streams with the Ganges Delta. a predominantly sandy bottom.

  • A Concept for Union and an Identity Marker for Mizo Christians
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Journals of Faculty of Orthodox Theology, Babes-Bolyai University (Romania) SUBBTO 63, no. 2 (2018): 75-90 DOI:10.24193/subbto.2018.2.06 II. HISTORICAL THEOLOGY HEAVENLY CITIZENSHIP: A CONCEPT FOR UNION AND AN IDENTITY MARKER FOR MIZO CHRISTIANS MARINA NGURSANGZELI BEHERA* ABSTRACT. Paul, as it is well known, was a citizen of the Roman Empire and he wrote these words about citizenship to a young congregation in a Hellenistic city. The Greek word „in Philippians 3:20” he uses here is translated differently as “conservation” (KJV), as “home” and as “citizenship” in the New American Standard (NAS) translation. So, Christian citizenship is in heaven - not on earth. It is from there Christians expect their Lord and savior to come. Yet, while living on earth and waiting until He comes and while being part of the larger human community each and every one is a member of political unit, a nation or a state or a tribe. The knowledge of the heavenly citizenship gives Christians an indication where to hope for true citizenship and gives at the same time a clear indication to distinguish between “heavenly” affairs and their allegiance to worldly powers on earth. During the initial period of the history of Christianity in Mizoram in order to differentiate one’s new identity was the conviction and the declaration that one is now Pathian mi (God’s people) and vanram mi (heavenly citizen). This significant concept and understanding of what it means for the Mizo to be Christian is reflected prominently in Mizo indigenous hymns and gospel songs as well as in the preaching of the Gospel, where it is declared that one is no longer a citizen of this “earthly world” (he lei ram mi), but of the “heavenly world” (van ram mi).

    ================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.comISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 20:8 August 2020 ================================================================ The Intrinsic Relationship between Language and Culture in Mizoram, India Ms. Lalremruati, M.A. Linguistics College of Horticulture, Central Agricultural University Thenzawl Mizoram 796186, India [email protected] =================================================================== Abstract This paper presents a detailed analysis of the linkage or relationship between language and culture in the light of the Mizo language of the Mizo community in Mizoram, India. The main purpose of this paper is to explain in detail the intrinsic relation between culture and language and to show that they are indeed related to each other citing instances from the Mizo language as proof. The relation between the two terms has been a subject of debate among linguists, some agree to the relation and some doubt the intensity of the presumed relation. This paper stands in favour of the theory that language and culture are closely related. Using different examples and instances drawn from Mizo, an attempt has been made in this paper to prove that culture does indeed influence language. Different terms and idioms have been analyzed, which show that certain terms lose their essence when they are translated. The paper has drawn a conclusion that the complications faced in translation are due to the fact that certain terms are too heavily influenced by culture that they cannot be isolated without the cultural connotations they possess. Keywords: Mizoram, Mizo, language, culture, relation, intrinsic, translation 1. Introduction To apprehend the relation between language and culture, one has to conceive the meanings of language and that of culture.
