  • City Disaster Management Plan of Kolkata
    CITY DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN OF KOLKATA 2020 KOLKATA MUNICIPAL CORPORATION 5, S.N. BANERJEE ROAD, KOLKATA - 13 Foreword Cities are important centres of modern societies that will continue to gain in importance in the future. Today, more than half the world’s population lives in urban areas. The high density and interdependence of urban lifestyles and work, and the growing dependence on increasingly complex infrastructure systems and services, are making cities more vulnerable to a variety of hazards — natural and man-made. These can be the result of technological, natural or social causes. The populous City of Kolkata is situated in the multi-hazard prone southern part of the state of West Bengal which has considerable risk of damage/loss of lives and property due to natural hazards like Cyclone, Earthquake and Flood even if we keep aside the threats due to human induced hazards as Fire, Accidents, Industrial & Chemical hazards etc. To minimize the losses due to disasters and to have a disaster resilient society, we must have clear understanding in regard to the type and strength of each of the probable threats which may cause disasters of medium or large scale in the city. The perception about disaster and its management has undergone a change following the enactment of the Disaster Management Act, 2005. The definition of disaster is now all encompassing that includes not only the events emerging from natural and man-made causes, but even those events which are caused by accident or negligence. There was a long felt need to capture information about all such events occurring across the sectors and efforts made to mitigate them in the city and to collate them at one place in a global perspective.

  • TLP 2021 Phase 1 – Day 1 Synopsis 2021
    TLP 2021 Phase 1 – Day 1 Synopsis 2021 Q1. What are the key features and themes of Sangam literature? Discuss. In the context of Sangam literature, what do you understand by ‘akam’ and ‘puram’? Approach Students are expected to write about sangam literature first and then it’s key features and themes. And also highlight upon what is Akam and Puram in sangam literature. Introduction Sangam period is the period in the history of ancient southern India (known as the Tamilakam) spanning from c. 3rd century BC to c. 4th century AD. It is named after the famous Sangam academies of poets and scholars centered in the city of Madurai. Sangam literature is the name given to the earliest available Tamil literature. It is dated between 400 BCE and 300 CE, although most of the work is believed to have been composed between 100 CE and 250 CE. The word ‘Sangam’ literally means association. Here, it implies an association of Tamil poets that flourished in ancient southern India. Body Key features of sangam literature: Sangam literature which combines idealism with realism and classic grace with indigenous industry and strength is rightly regarded as constituting the Augustan age of Tamil literature. It deals with secular matter relating to public and social activity like government, war charity, trade, worship, agriculture etc. The earliest script that the Tamils used was the Brahmi script. It was only from the late ancient and early medieval period, that they started evolving a new angular script, called the Grantha script, from which the modern Tamil is derived.
