  • 2. Humanities-IMPACT of INDUSTRIALIZATION on SOIL
    BEST: International Journal of Humanities, Arts, Medicine and Sciences (BEST: IJHAMS) ISSN 2348-0521 Vol. 3, Issue 5, May 2015, 7-14 © BEST Journals IMPACT OF INDUSTRIALIZATION ON SOIL RESOURCES, A STUDY ON KANJIKODE INDUSTRIAL REGION, PALAKKAD SAJEESH K1, RICHARD SCARIA 2, PANKAJAKSHAN P3 & AKSHARA C4 1,4 M.Sc Geography, Department Of Geography, Govt College Chittur, Kerala, India 2,3 Assistant Professor, Department Of Geography, Govt College Chittur, Kerala, India ABSTRACT Soil is linked to everything around us and performs many important roles in sustaining life on Earth. Soil plays seven key roles such as, Providing the basis for food and biomass production, Controlling and regulating environmental interactions- regulating water flow and quality, Storing carbon and maintaining the balance of gases in the air, Providing valued habitats and sustaining biodiversity, Providing a platform for buildings and roads, Providing raw material and Preserving cultural and archaeological heritage. Soil quality is a measure of how well the soil does what we want it to do. And what do we want it to do? Support plant and animal productivity, maintain or enhance water and air quality, and support human health and habitation. The quality of a soil is an assessment of how it performs all of its functions now and how those functions are being preserved for future use. Soil quality is important for two reasons. First, using a soil improperly can damage it and the ecosystem; therefore we need to match our use and management of the land to the soil's capability. Second, we need to establish a baseline understanding about soil quality so that we can recognize changes as they develop.

  • Palakkad District Office of the Department, Headed by Sri V.A Gopi, in the Preparation of This Document
    PREFACE Planning is a prerequisite for effective development. Development becomes comprehensive when growth centres are identified considering physical, social and economic variables of an area in an integrated manner. This indicates that planning of villages and towns are to be complementary. Second Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC) while interpreting the article 243 ZD of the Constitution of India states as follows. “This, in other words, means that the development needs of the rural and urban areas should be dealt with in an integrated manner and, therefore, the district plan, which is a plan for a large area consisting of villages and towns, should take into account such factors as ‘spatial planning’, sharing of ‘physical and natural resources’, integrated development of infrastructure’ and ‘environmental conservation’. All these are important, because the relationship between villages and towns is complementary. One needs the other. Many functions that the towns perform as seats of industry, trade and business and as providers of various services, including higher education, specialized health care services, communication etc have an impact on the development and welfare of rural people. Similarly, the orderly growth of the urban centre is dependent on the kind of organic linkage it establishes with its rural hinterland”. Therefore a move of harmonizing urban and rural centres of an area can be said as a move of planned urbanisation of the area. In this context, it is relevant to mention the 74th Amendment Act of the Constitution of India, which mandated the District Planning Committee to prepare a draft development plan for the district. As per Article 243 ZD of the Constitution, the District Planning Committee (DPC) shall consolidate Panchayat/Municipality Plans in the district and prepare draft development plan for the district as a whole.

Varier (in 1902, on the occasion of establishing Arya Vaidya Sala) “It is God’s wish that Ayurveda should be lifted up from its present state of degradation. My humble efforts in that direction are only manifestations of His wish. It is true, the founding of Arya Vaidya Sala is the outcome of my personal endeavour based exclusively on my individual efforts and driven by my judgment.

The demographic diversity of the country is a problem while planning and executing community health care programmes. Ayurvedic clinical practice, which is pan-Indian knowledge base, has the obvious and time tested capability to meet the primary health care needs of the Indian society. However, both the clinical and pharmaceutical segments of Ayurvedic system are encountering mammoth problems and hurdles. One such serious issue is the absence of proper avenues of authentic practice for the young crop of Ayurvedic physicians graduating out of the Universities.
