West Bengal-2017-18 2017-18 When you look around today you find that there is little evidence of sacrifice for the sake of society. A person may call himself or herself a great devotee or a sadhaka (spiritual aspirant) or a scientist but without the spirit of sacrifice there is nothing great in that person. Seva (selfless service) is the salt which lends savour to life. The spirit of sacrifice imparts fragrance to living. One may live for sixty, seventy, or eighty years but it will have no meaning unless the life has been devoted to ennobling one's character and rendering selfless service to others. ~ Divine Discourse, December 11, 1985 ~ ANNUAL REPORT 2017 - 2018 This report is dedicated at the Lotus Feet of our Lord and Master Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba SRI SATHYA SAI SEVA ORGANISATIONS, WEST BENGAL ANNUAL REPORT 2017 - 2018 Foreword Offering my most humble and reverential Pradesh & Telengana, benefitting millions who were salutations to my Beloved Master, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, suffering for want of potable water.

The Organisation serves as a platform for its members to undertake service and other activities motivated by an urge for one's own transformation with the aim of realising one's inherent divinity. Without any distinction of religion, nationality, race, socio-economic status, either for those who work in the Organisation or for those who are served by it, the Organisation transcends all barriers leading humanity towards the ideal of 'Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man'. The concept of fees or membership subscription is alien to the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations, for there cannot be any fee or subscription for one's journey towards his own self. “Sathya Sai Seva Samithis are built The organisation functions through its primary units on love. They thrive on love; they called as Samithis and Bhajan Mandalis of which spread love. No other emotion or individuals - from different strata of society, different ethnic groups pursuing different religions and faiths - attitude has any place therein.

K. Nag* and Anindita Lahiri Department of Geological Sciences, Jadavpur University, Kolkata -700032, India. Accepted 8 September, 2011 Spatial information technology that is, remote sensing (RS) coupled with geographical information system (GIS) has come out as an efficient tool in delineating drainage pattern and water resource management and its planning. GIS and Image Processing techniques have been adopted for the identification of morphological features and analyzing their properties in Dwarakeswar River Basin area in Purulia and Bankura districts of West Bengal, India. The basin morphometric parameters such as linear and aerial aspects of the river basin have been determined. The parameters worked out include both linear aspects [Stream order (Nu), Bifurcation ratio(Rb), Stream length(Lu), Stream frequency] and aerial aspects [Form factor (Rf), Circulatory Ratio (Rc), Elongation Ratio (Re) and Drainage Density]. The study reveals that the area is characterized by fine drainage texture and lower drainage density indicating the basin is characterized by highly resistant permeable material with low relief. The overall drainage pattern of the Dwarkeswar watershed reflects a dendritic pattern. Dendritic pattern, in general, is considered as a group of resequent streams within homogeneous lithology and gently sloping topography. This study would help the local people to utilize the resources for sustainable development of the basin area.

  • 182 Reference Asian Desert Warbler Sylvia Nana in Lava, West Bengal
    182 Indian Birds VOL. 15 NO. 6 (PUBL. 15 JUNE 2020) collected by S. D. Ripley in Nagaland on 03 December 1950 (Yale Peabody Museum 2017), and the other (UMMZ birds #178643) collected by Walter Koelz in Karong, Manipur, on 23 November 1950 (University of Michigan Museum of Zoology 2019). A search of images posted on www.orientalbirdimages.org and specimens collected on portal.vertnet.org indicate that while dabryii has been recorded in China and Thailand, isolata has been recorded in Myanmar, and Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Chowdhury Roy Soumen and Mizoram in India. Therefore, it seems that during its winter/ seasonal movements, the distribution of dabryii may be limited to an area where it meets isolata: south of the Brahmaputra in India on the west, and Myanmar to the east. We could not trace any photographs of this race from India, and hence ours appears to be a first record after nearly 70 years from India. 235. Asian Desert Warbler showing clearly the yellow iris.

  • Chalcolithic Period
    CHAPTER VI CHALCOLITHIC PERIOD ^ ' I MIDDLE GANGA VALLEY In the Middle Ganga Valley a total of 134 Chalcolithic sites have been discovered (Table 82, Fig. 31). Of these, 110 (82.09%) are located in Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) and 24 (17.91%) in Bihar. In U.P. one site each is located in Allahabad, Deoria, Jaunpur, and Sultanpur, eight in Ballia, 13 in Basti, 18 in Ghazipur, 27 in Gorakhpur, 16 in Pratapgarh and 24 in Varanasi districts. The location of sites in Bihar is as follows : one each in Bhojpur and Vaisali, two each in Patna and Saran, four in Bhagalpur, five in Gaya and nine in Rohtas districts. Of these, 89 (66.42%) sites are located in the Ganga plain north and 45 (33.58%) in the Ganga plain south. In the Ganga plain north 45 sites are located in the Ganga-Ghaghra Doab, 43 in the Saryupar Plain and one in the Mithila Plain. In the Ganga plain south 34 sites are located in the Ganga-Son Divide and remaining 11 in the Anga-Magadh Plain. All sites are located on river banks but precise location is known only for 31— one each on the Gomati, Rapti, Chandraprabha, Karmnasa, Son and Jamunai, two each on the Durgawati and Manorama, four each on the Ganga, Ghaghra, Kudra and Phalgu and five on the Kuwano. Distribution of sites in the region suggests that the nature of Chalcolithic sett 1ement-pattern depended largely upon topographic situation. Sites are found below 90 m contour line and are located on higher Bhangar land which is above the flood level.

  • Study of Tribes and Their Festivals, Folk Culture & Art of Bankura District, West Bengal: a Descriptive Review
    International Journal of Education, Modern Management, Applied Science & Social Science (IJEMMASSS) 17 ISSN : 2581-9925, Impact Factor: 6.340, Volume 03, No. 02(IV), April - June, 2021, pp.17-20 STUDY OF TRIBES AND THEIR FESTIVALS, FOLK CULTURE & ART OF BANKURA DISTRICT, WEST BENGAL: A DESCRIPTIVE REVIEW Aparna Misra ABSTRACT Several districts of West Bengal have been well-established on the festivals, cultures, and Folk art from the ancient time. A descriptive review was done after compiling historical perspectives, geographical features, and Folk art & culture of Bankura district, West Bengal, India. Interestingly, it was found that cultural activities and Folk art are closely depending upon historical and geographical features of Bankura district. Moreover, tribals are the most important population where traditional knowledge is transferred to craft technology and they enjoy for producing the craft and paintings with the help of local resources. This review may help the academicians, researchers, media personnel and Government authorities to encourage their technology for their household industrial development. Further research is suggested for the socio-economic benefit related to these folk, festivals, culture, and crafts productions through proper trading. In Indian perspective, still various districts of West Bengal are potential for folk music, dance or art which canbe evocative to the rich Indian culture. Keywords: Tribal Culture, Folk Art, Festival, Local Resources, Natural Resources, Craft and Painting. ________________ Introduction According to Dalton (1872), it was established that Bengal has diverse ethnological importance. Different states of India harbour the indigenous people called as “tribes” and “tribes” regarded as a social establishment have been identified in two traditions mentioned in the report of Gramin Vikas Seva Sanshtha (2013)in which one is found in a stage in the history of evolution of human civilization while other is a society organization based on bonding of association that empowered them to be a multifunctional grouping.

  • Chapter 4 the Reservoired Lower Damodar River: a Hydro-Geomorphic Perspective
    Chapter 4 The Reservoired Lower Damodar River: A Hydro-Geomorphic Perspective Abstract Rivers respond to anthropogenic activities through morphological and hydrological adjustments in the channel. This chapter addresses the hydromorpho- logical consequences of the control structures on the Damodar River. Dams have altered the flow regime, channel characteristics and the sediment supply of the river. Under natural flow conditions, on an average, 12 days per year experienced a flow above 2,265.6 m3/s. This has decreased to 4 days under artificial condi- tions. Monsoon streamflow has been reduced, but non-monsoon flow has increased albeit with a very high variability in the post-dam period. The R.I. of the bank- full stage, a flow of 7,080 m3/s in the pre-dam period, increased from 2 to 14 years in the post-dam period. The magnitude of the design flood from Maithon and Panchet reservoirs has been reduced by about 56%. During the non-monsoon period canal discharge in most cases exceeds the river discharge. The low volume of water released downstream during dry months virtually transforms this section into a sandy waste whereas the high discharge released during monsoon months con- verts the section to a vigorous flowing channel. Although some sediment is trapped in the reservoirs, a million tons of sediment nevertheless pours into the river from the uncontrolled stretch. Capacity of the river to transport this sediment has been reduced due to the reduction of flood peaks. A chain of sandbars has emerged within the riverbed below the control structures. The channel deposits in the study area sup- port agriculture and most of the channel bars have been settled and are now used as a resource base, mostly by Bangladeshi refugees.
