Human-elephant competton (HEC) is a major protecton threat in the fringe villages of the Jaldapara Natonal Park (JPNP) of West Bengal, India. JPNP is facing challenges from the highly populated fringe villages, which exist in elephant corridors. Between 2015 and 2018 there were 12 elephant deaths. During the same period elephants caused 34 human deaths. As per data, most of the elephant interactons occurred in the fringe villages of Madarihat and Jaldapara North Range. Per reports of human deaths, Chekamari and Khairbari villages of Madarihat Range are in the most vulnerable list. Most of the human deaths occurred in the early morning (05.00–06.00 h) and in the evening, when people are going outside for open defecaton (OD). On a pilot basis Chekamari and Khairbari villages of Madarihat Range were selected for a door to door household survey with the objectve to develop an innovatve strategy as a mitgaton measure of HEC. The results of the survey show that both villages are tribal and minority populaton, the socio-economic conditon of the people is very poor, on an average 5–6 members are in each household, the source of drinking water is a community well for most of the households, and 50 households are devoid of toilet facilites so automatcally the members of those households go outside for OD. Out of the total human deaths, 16 occurred in the Madarihat area; out of these 16 cases, six were from the Chekamari and Khairbari villages. For this reason, between April 2019 to September 2019, with available funds 20 toilets with tube-well were built in the 20 neediest households of these two villages. Due to the communicaton with the community, behavioural changes were made and their partcipaton for 100% usage of those toilets was assured. Afer the constructon of the toilets untl now, no human death cases have been reported. Keywords: Behavioural changes, communicaton, mitgaton, open defecaton, toilets.

Poverty refers to the condition of not having the means to afford basic human need such as clean water, nutrition care, clothing and shelter. This paper is attempted to study the poverty status with some remedial measures. Key-words: 1.Poverty, 2.Development, 3.Literacy 4.Jalpaiguri, 5. Non uniform. Objectives My paper will find out the following objective with some remedial measure- To find the existing condition of people in the district. To analyze the factors responsible for increasing rate of poverty in few blocks. To discuss about the problem’s related to poverty. To analyze the correlation between poverty and development.

Thus, many State functionaries like the Superintendent of Police, Assistant Registrar of Cooperative Societies, District Agricultural Officer, District Medical Officer, etc., are located at the district headquarters and their jurisdiction extends to the district. ➢ Thus at the district level there are multiple officers for administering the affairs of the Government.

  • Emerging Multimodal Connectivity in the BBIN Sub-Region Possibilities for Competitive Linkages and Potential Benefits to Bhutan
    DISCUSSION PAPER #1/2020 Emerging Multimodal Connectivity in the BBIN Sub-region Possibilities for Competitive Linkages and Potential Benefits to Bhutan Bhimlal Suberi* India and Bangladesh are top two trading partners as well as pivotal transit countries for Bhutan and this will continue in the future. Kolkata-Siliguri-Guwahati road link is a crucial road transport corridor for bilateral trade with India and Bangladesh and facilitates access to the seaports. With Bhutan given access to Chittagong and Mongla seaports, international trade is likely to be less costly as these seaports are closer compared to the Indian seaports. Moreover, with strengthening inter-modal connectivity infrastructure in and between Bangladesh and India, Bhutan has tremendous potential to improve access to BBIN and global markets. In that context, this Discussion Paper reviews Bhutan’s access to such infrastructure while highlighting challenges as well as opportunities for the country to develop competitive linkages with existing and emerging corridors of trade and transport connectivity in the sub-region. Background barriers and prepared a roadmap1 for the development of multimodal connectivity in the The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation region along the prioritised corridors. BBIN (SAARC), South-Asia Sub-regional Economic countries (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Nepal) are Cooperation (SASEC), Bay of Bengal Initiative for at the core of the SRMTS. Multi-Sectoral Trade & Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) and United Nations Economic and Social A similar study was undertaken for the SASEC sub- Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN-ESCAP) region under the Sub-regional Corridor Operational provide a broad framework and building blocks for Efficiency Study,2 following a detailed assessment of regional integration and multimodal transport operational and institutional impediments, and connectivity in the region.
