African Journal of Fisheries Science Vol. 1 (2), pp. 005-010, July, 2013. Available online at www.internationalscholarsjournals.org © International Scholars Journals Full Length Research Paper Training needs of the freshwater fish growers in Assam, India Uttam Kumar Baruah*, Jyotish Barman, Hitu Choudhury and Popiha Bordoloi Krishi Vigyan Kendra Goalpara, National Research Centre on Pig, Indian Council of Agricultural Research, Dudhnoi – 783124, Assam, India. Accepted 5 July, 2013 A study was conducted in five rural development blocks of India to investigate the training needs of freshwater fish growers. A total of fifty fish growers having training exposures were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Independent variables included thirteen socio-economic parameters and dependant variables included seven critical technical areas. Frequency and percentage, mean score, standard deviation (SD), co-efficient of variance (CV) and simple correlation were analyzed. The study revealed that majority of the respondents need trainings on water quality management (80%). Only 16 and 10% respondents expressed training need on fish seed handling and transportation, and fish nutrition and feeding, respectively. Negatively significant correlations were observed between interest and attitude towards fish farming age and education. Individual independent characteristic and training needs of the farmers had negative correlations with education (X2) (p<0.01) and attitude (X13) (p<0.05). Positively significant correlation between possession of pond (X5) and age (X1) (p<0.01), income (X4) and age (X1) (p<0.01), economic motivation (X7) and age (X1) (p<0.01), decision-making ability (X8) and age (X1) (p<0.05), attitude (X13) and education (X2) (p<0.05), income (X4) and main occupation (X3)(p<0.05). -
The Dark Side of Democracy : Explaining Ethnic Cleansing
P1: ICD 052183130XAgg.xml CY448B/Mann-II 052183130 X August 2, 2004 11:12 This page intentionally left blank ii P1: ICD 052183130XAgg.xml CY448B/Mann-II 052183130 X August 2, 2004 11:12 The Dark Side of Democracy This book presents a new theory of ethnic cleansing based on the most ter- rible cases – colonial genocides, Armenia, the Nazi Holocaust, Cambodia, Yugoslavia, and Rwanda – and cases of lesser violence – early modern Europe, contemporary India, and Indonesia. Murderous cleansing is modern – it is “the dark side of democracy.” It results where the demos (democracy) is confused with the ethnos (the ethnic group). Danger arises where two rival ethnonational movements each claims “its own” state over the same territory. Conflict esca- lates where either the weaker side fights rather than submit because of aid from outside or the stronger side believes it can deploy sudden, overwhelming force. But the state must also be factionalized and radicalized by external pressures like wars. Premeditation is rare, since perpetrators feel “forced” into escalation when their milder plans are frustrated. Escalation is not simply the work of “evil elites” or “primitive peoples.” It results from complex interactions among leaders, militants, and “core constituencies” of ethnonationalism. Understand- ing this complex process helps us devise policies to avoid ethnic cleansing in the future. Michael Mann is a professor of sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles.

AXOM SARBA &N IHIYAN MISSION Forwarding
AXOM SARBA &n IHIYAN MISSION Forwarding : II IS indeed a great pleasure that the District Elementary Education Plan (DEEP) of Goalpara comes to light with the tireless striving of the District team of DPEP,Goalpara district. This plan is an instrument of SSA (UEE) in a focuscd manner within a targeted period. The idea of UEE is not a new one. It was Gopal Krishna Gokle in 1910 mooted the idea who was in the opinion that welfare and prosperity of the Indian people lay in the promotion of education for one and all. Gandhiji put forward a step towards UEE with Basic Education Policy. After indepcndcncc, UBE was placed in the Directive principles of the state policy of Indian constitution, which stated that “ The state shall endeavor to provide within a period of 10 years for free and compulsory education to all children until they complete the age of 14 years.’ But the target can’t be achieved by 1960. The NPE 1986 and POA in 1992 were formulated for the purpose, but all the attempts failed to bring the desired goal. A half way approach with piece-meal efforts can’t solve the burning problems centering round the entire amount of education system, particularly in elementary level. The landmark 93^** constitution Amendment in 2001 made Elementary Education a Fundamental Right. It stands, as “The State shall provide free and compulsory education to ail children in the age of 6-14 years.” Consequently, attainment c f l^EE, becomes a shared responsibility o f the State and parents .It is here mooted the idea of Sarba Siksha Abhijan Siksha Abhijan Mission, a project which aims to achieve the Universalisation of Elementary Education with due weightage of quality in a focused manner with time bound activities in a missionary Zeal. -

CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided24 by TallinnSTSS University: Vol Open 3 / Issue Journal 3 Systems / Tallinna Ülikool Studies of Transition States and Societies Ethnicity, IdentityIdentity andand Cartography:Cartography: Possession Possession /Dispossession, /Disposses- sion,Homecoming Homecoming /Homelessness /Homelessness in Contemporary in Contemporary Assam Assam Parag Moni Sarma* Abstract Ethnicity is emerging as a focal consideration in the politics of identity in contemporary Assam, a state of the Indian union in the North East of India. Often identifi ed as a fl ash point in the subversive poli- tics that question the logistics of the Indian nation, North East India is emerging as a cartographic domain that posits questions of internal colonialism and hegemony. Cartographic reorientation of ter- ritory based on factors of linguistic and ethnic identity is perceived as a way to acquire new homelands that will foster self-validation and the ‘all round development’ of the people. The North East of India is dotted with armed insurrection for autonomous territories under the Indian Union or total severance, depending on the population and the spatial domain of the ethnic groups in question. The linkages with questions of social, cultural and political marginalisation, as well as political assertion provide interest- ing scope for academic exploration. The present paper seeks to understand and trace such assertive movements in Assam to forces of historical neglect as well as the rhetoric of marginalisation that is surfeit in contemporary assertive idioms of diff erent ethnic groups. Keywords: identity, ethnicity, transactive domain, resistant pluralism, cartography. Introduction Assam is a state of the Indian Union, located in what is known as the North East of India comprising eight states1 of the Indian Union. -
At the Ideological Crossroads of the New
Canadian Jewish Studies / Études juives canadiennes, vol. 29, 2020 81 Daniel Rickenbacher The Anti-Israel Movement in Québec in the 1970s: At the Ideological Crossroads of the New Left and Liberation-Nationalism Daniel Rickenbacher / The Anti-Israel Movement in Québec in the 1970s: 82 At the Ideological Crossroads of the New Left and Liberation-Nationalism Abstract Since the late 1950s, Third World nationalism in Algeria, Vietnam, and the Mid- dle East had fascinated radical Québec nationalists. Québec nationalism’s militant arm, the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ), styled itself as a national-liberation movement fighting against Anglo-Canadian exploitation and oppression. After the Six-Day-War, the PLO became a significant source of inspiration for these ele- ments. Québec was their Palestine, as one prominent Québec Nationalist asserted. This militant Québec nationalism coincided and often overlapped with the rise of the New Left at Québec’s universities and in its unions. Like its European and Ameri- can counterparts, the Québec New Left adopted the ideologies of anti-imperialism and anti-Zionism, and in 1972, the Québec-Palestine Association was established in this milieu. Anti-imperialism combined the Marxist analysis of class struggle with a nationalistic worldview, which saw the world divided between oppressor and oppressed nations. For the New Left, Israel became the epitome of an oppressor nation. It was associated with all the supposed vices of the West: Racism, capitalism, inauthenticity, and militarism. This paper sheds light on the founding years of the Québec anti-Zionist movement in the early 1970 and discusses the themes and images it used to describe Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict.
