  • “Sustainable Tourism- a Tool for Development”
    WORLD TOURISM DAY- 2017 “Sustainable Tourism- a Tool for Development” #TravelEnjoyRespect DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION -TEZPUR UNIVERSITY- UTTARAN- 2017 SPECIAL EDITION FOREWORD Dr. Papori Baruah, Professor and Head Department of Business Administration, Tezpur University I am greatly pleased that the students have come out with yet another edition of ‘Uttaran’ coinciding with the ‘World Tourism Day’. I congratulate the students and the faculty for this effort. The theme Sustainable Tourism is indeed very apt in present day context. We have seen several destinations in the world creating havoc to the environment and the artefacts by unplanned management of tourism activities. This has happened to the snow-capped mountains of the Himalayas to seaside destinations of Thailand. Hence, we must relook at our tourism strategies to conserve the pristine beauty of nature and preserve the heritage for future. We need to shift our focus from gaining mere economic benefit through exploitation of resources to sustainability. I am sure that the articles published in ‘Uttaran’ will at least try to usher some change in the mind-set of the readers. Best wishes.

The Ganges River Dolphin is found primarily in the Ganges and Brahmaputra River and their tributaries in India, Bangladesh and Nepal. The Ganges River dolphins are completely blind and do not have a crystalline eye lens. They echolocate for navigation and hunting. The Total population of Ganges River Dolphin is estimated to be around 2000 and they Public Disclosure Authorized inhabit the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna and Karnaphuli-Sanguriver. Public Disclosure Authorized It is also known as Susu because of the sound it produces when breathing. The Total population of Ganges River Dolphin is estimated to be around 2000 Dolphin (Platanistagangeticagangetica Roxburgh, 1801). They have been poached over for their oil. The habitat degradation due to declining flow, heavy siltation and construction of barrages causing physical barrier for this migratory Public Disclosure Authorized species is also one of the reasons behind decline of their numbers. Unique features of Ganges River dolphin: Body: Sturdy but flexible body with large flippers and low a triangular dorsal fin. Weighs upto 150 kg. Color: Calves are chocolate brown at birth and adults are greyish brown. Head: Head melon shaped with a long thin snout armed with as many as 130 sharp teeth.

The emerging public health emergency situation has claimed close to three and a half lakh lives and the figures are rapidly changing every second. We have not faced medical crisis of such magnitude during the last century post the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918. As the world’s leading health infrastructure collapses, our socio-economic systems are crumbling down under the pressures of complete countrywide lockdown announced in almost all major economies around the globe. This unprecedented crisis situation calls for urgent introspection. It raises the imminent question on our so-called growth and development trends.

    © 2018 JETIR May 2018, Volume 5, Issue 5 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Study of the life form and the biological spectrum of Umananda River Island, Guwahati, Assam, India - a tool for characterization of the phytoclimate Pranab Bujarbarua Assistant Professor Department of Botany Handique Girls’ College, Guwahati, India Abstract: The present paper deals with the characterization of the phytoclimate of the Umananda river island in Guwahati, Assam with the help of Raunkiaer’s life form and biological spectrum method. A total of 128 species of vascular plants belonging to 122 genera and 60 families have been reported from the island. All the plant species are categorized into different life form based on the position of their perennating bud. Therophytes (Th. = 32.03%) and Mesophanerophytes (Mesoph. = 20.31%) were found to be dominant followed by Chamaephyte (Ch. = 11.72%), Microphanerophyte (Microph. = 9.38%), Hemicryptophytes (H.Cr. = 7.03%), Lianas/climbers and Geophytes (5.47%), Mega and Nanophanerophyte (3.13%) and Epiphytes (2.34%). On the basis of the life form categories, biological spectrum was prepared and compared with Raunkiaer’s normal biological spectrum. On comparisons with Raunkiaer’s normal spectrum, the area depicts Thero-phanerophytic type of phytoclimate. Key words: Life form and biological spectrum, Phytoclimate, Umananda river island. I. INTRODUCTION The classification of plants on the basis of similarities in structure and functions is called life form or growth form and the plant climate of a region is characterized by the life form (or forms). Life form portrays the plant adaptation to certain ecological conditions (Meera et al., 1999) and is an important physiognomic attributes that have been widely used in vegetation studies.

  • Assam As a Frontier State of India Had Been a Veri~ Table Asylum for All Kinds of Religious Beliefs
    i, I' ' 'I I :1 CHAPTER VII I I RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS AND SITES Assam as a frontier state of India had been a veri~ table asylum for all kinds of religious beliefs. Her vast majority of the people belonged to non-Aryan tribes who had distinct manners, customs and religions. Even those who professed Hinduism, loosely adhered to Vaisnavism or Saivism, Saktism or Tantricism. The various Pithas (holy places) of Assam for the most part were of non-Aryan origin. Before the introduction of the Brahmanical faith, the foundation of various cults in I Assam was laid by Austric and chino-Tibetan elements. As a result Brahmanism had to be modified, to a large extent to incorporate into its fold not only non-Aryan deities, bUt also to introduce v~rious local myths and rituals. EVen after the spread of Hinduism, the non-ArYan cults survived and continued to influence it to a considerable extent, with the result that in a single religious centre like Hajo, we find a meeting place of all the ArYan and non-ArYan faiths. The spread of ArYan culture in Ancient Assam was largely due to the settlement of the Brahmanas. The royal patronage helped in the spread of Hinduism. The earlieet known instance of this was in the reign of Bhutivarman (of 6th Century A.D.) who donated lands to 205 Brahman farndlies. 1 Saivism: The worship of Siva prevailed in Assam from a remote past and perhaps it was the most popular form of religion both among the aboriginals and Aryanised people.
