The main compounds in black rice were anthocyanins (3.5 mg/g), with cyanidin 3-O- glucoside and peonidin 3-O-glucoside predominating, followed by flavones and flavonols (0.5 mg/g) and flavan-3-ols (0.3 mg/g), which comprised monomeric and oligomeric constituents. Significant quantities of γ-oryzanols, including 24-methylenecy- cloartenol, campesterol, cycloartenol, and β-sitosterol ferulates, were also detected along with lower levels of carotenoids (6.5 μg/ g). Red rice was characterized by a high amount of oligomeric procyanidins (0.2 mg/g), which accounted >60% of secondary metabolite content with carotenoids and γ-oryzanol comprising 26.7%, whereas flavones, flavonols and anthocyanins were <9%. Brown and white rice contained lower quantities of phytochemicals, in the form of flavones/flavonols (21−24 μg/g) and γ- oryzanol (12.3−8.2 μg/g), together with trace levels of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. Neither anthocyanins nor procyanidins were detected in brown and white rice.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY With the Government of Bangladesh driving its National Sanitation Campaign from 2003-2012, Bangladesh has made significant progress in reducing open defecation, from 34 percent in 1990 to just once percent of the national population in 20151. Despite these achievements, much remains to be done if Bangladesh is to achieve universal improved2 sanitation coverage by 2030, in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Bangladesh’s current rate of improved sanitation is 61 percent, growing at only 1.1 percent annually. To achieve the SDGs, Bangladesh will need to provide almost 50 million rural people with access to improved sanitation, and ensure services are extended to Bangladesh’s rural poor. Many households in rural Bangladesh do not have sufficient cash on hand to upgrade sanitation systems, but can afford the cost if they are able to spread the cost over time.

South India (Khandesh and Ahmadnagar): Imperialistic Policy Of Akbar : Akbar was an imperialist. He frankly declared and desired to pursue the policy of extension of the empire. He felt it necessary even for the security of his territories. He expressed- “A monarch should be ever intent on conquest, otherwise his enemies rise in arms against him.” Akbar, therefore, engaged himself in wars of conquest all through his life. He largely succeeded.His empire extended from Kabul in the west to Bengal in the east and from Kashmir in the north to Vindhyas in the south. He had initiated his conquest of southern India and partially succeeded before he died. Yet, he conquered the entire north India and consolidated it under his administration.The Kingdom of the Deccan was initiated by Akbar in the 16th Century. 1. Malwa: The first conquest of Akbar was that of Malwa. Baz Bahadur, the ruler of Malwa was fond of fine arts, particularly of dance and music. He was neglectful towards the affairs of the state and kept himself engrossed in romance with his talented mistress Rup Mati. Akbar despatched Adham Khan to conquer Malwa. Baz Bahadur faced the Mughul army twenty miles ahead of his capital, Sarangpur, but was defeated and he fled away.

  • 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL River Periyar, the Longest of All the Rivers in the State of Kerala and Also the Largest in Poten
    Pre Feasibility Report Page 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL River Periyar, the longest of all the rivers in the State of Kerala and also the largest in potential, having a length of 244 km originates in the Sivagiri group of hills at an elevation of about +1830 m above MSL. This river basin is the second largest basin of Kerala State with a drainage area of 5398 Sq Km of which 114 sq km in the Anamalai fold lies in the State of Tamil Nadu. The Periyar Basin lies between 090 15’ N to 100 20’ N and longitude 760 10’ E to 770 30’E. From its origin, Periyar traverses through an immense cliff of rocks in a northerly direction receiving several streamlets in its course. About 48 km downstream, the Mullayar joins the main river at an elevation of +854 m above MSL. Afterwards, the river flows westwards and at about 11 km downstream of the confluence of Mullayar and Periyar, the river passes through a narrow gorge, where the present Mullaperiyar Dam is constructed in 1895. The name Mullaperiyar is derived from a portmanteau of Mullayar and Periyar. Below the Mullaperiyar Dam, the river flows in a winding course taking a north westerly direction. On its travel down, it is enriched by many tributaries like Kattappana Ar, Cheruthoni Ar, Perinjankutty Ar, Muthirapuzha Ar and Idamala Ar. Lower down of Malayatoor; the Pre Feasibility Report Page 2 river takes a meandering course and flows calmly and majestically for about 23 km through Kalady and Chowara and reaches Alwaye.
