Sarbari Dey Sarkar, Lecturer, Dept. of History Anchoring Miss.Tanusree Sarkar, Lecturer, Dept. of Geography ABOUT THE FOCAL THEME Contemporary global environmental issues are defined as problems with the planet's systems (air, water, soil, etc.) that have developed as a result of human interference or mistreatment of the planet. Global environmental concerns were born out of the recognition that ecological processes do not always respect national boundaries and that environmental problems often have impacts beyond borders; sometimes globally. Connected to this was the notion that the ability of humans to act and think at a global scale also brings with it a new dimension of global responsibility— not only to planetary resources but also to planetary fairness. These ideas were central to the defining discourse of contemporary environmentalism in the 1960s and 1970s (Carson, 1962; Boulding, 1966; Ehrlich, 1968; Ward and Dubos, 1972; Meadows, 1972; Lovelock, 1979) and to the concept of sustainable development that took root in the 1980s and 1990s (Brundtland, 1987; UNCED, 1992; WSSD, 2002; Raskin et al., 2002; For a general overview see Brown et al., 2006, and IISD, 2006). The contemporary global physical environmental issues are harmful effects of human activity on the biophysical environment which include global warming, deforestation, air and water pollution, overpopulation, soil erosion, other climate change issues, destruction of biodiversity, littering, destruction of natural habitats, destruction of natural resources, attack of marine life, oil spills, nuclear issues, acid deposition, environmental disasters, volcanic eruption, greenhouse effect, heavy metals, sea level rise, burning of fossil fuels, species extinction, soil contamination and many more. All these together directly or indirectly affect our socio-cultural as well as economic and political environments also. As the contemporary global physical environmental issues may present themselves as temporary or permanent changes to the atmosphere, water, and land due to human activities, which can result in impacts that may be either reversible or irreversible. The contemporary global social environmental issues developed by humans as contrasted with the natural environment; society as a whole, especially in its relation to the individual. Hence, the contemporary global social environmental social issues may emerge in the workplace of a client’s/investee’s operations and may also impact surrounding communities. A client’s/investee’s performance in the areas listed below can represent environmental and social risks to the operation: labour and working conditions, occupational health and safety, community health, safety, and security, land acquisition and resettlement, indigenous peoples, cultural heritage, poverty, malnutrition, hunger, illiteracy, superstations etc. Thus the contemporary global physical environmental and the contemporary global social environmental issues may manifest in many different ways and affect the viability of a financial institution's client/investee operations. To mitigate the contemporary global environmental issues in sustainable ways is defined as the development that satisfies the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to satisfy theirs. It insists on the need to protect the diversity of genes, species, and all terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in nature. This is possible in particular via measures to protect the quality of the environment, and by the restoration, development, and maintenance of habitats that are essential to species. This implies the sustainable management of the use of the animal and plant populations being exploited. In other words, it is the rational management of human, natural, and economic resources that aims to satisfy the essential needs of humanity in the very long term. Therefore, the sustainable developmental management implies the fulfillment of several conditions: preserving the overall balance, respect for the environment, and preventing the exhaustion of natural resources. Reduced production of waste and the rationalization of production and energy consumption must also be implemented. This sustainable developmental management is presented as a more or less clean break from other modes of development, which have led and are still leading to worrying social and ecological damage on both a worldwide and a local scale. In order to be sustainable, development must combine three main elements: fairness, protection of the environment, and economic efficiency. A sustainable developmental management project must be based on a better-developed mode of consultation between the community and the members it comprises. The success of such a policy also depends on consumers accepting certain constraints and citizens observing certain requirements with regard to transparency and participation. PURPOSE OF THE SEMINAR The seminar is aimed to uplift those techniques which integrate the modern technologies reducing the risk and vulnerability of contemporary global environmental issues with the scientific principles of management. The another aim of the seminar is to create an attractive forum for presenting the scientific findings and to promote exchange of ideas, views and experiences amongst young researchers and professionals in the various fields of research activities. Papers are solicited in the following areas: 1. Contemporary Global Physical Environmental Issues 2. Contemporary Global Social Environmental Issues 3. Adaptation & Sustainable Management 4. Mitigation & Awareness 5. Planning & Policy Framework HARINGHARTA Haringhata is a town in Kalyani subdivision of Nadia District in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is located at 22.95°N 88.57°E.

Ujjal Roy Research Scholar (T.M.B.U), Department of Geography. Abstract: Hazard is a harmful incident for human life which can destroy so many precious things like crops, houses, cattle, others wealth like money, furniture, valuable documents and human lives also. So many hazards are happens like earthquake, tsunamis, drought, volcanic eruption, floods etc for natural reasons. Global warming, human interferences increase those incidents of hazard. Flood is a one of the hazard which basically happens for natural reason but human interferences increase the frequency and depth of this which is very destructive for human society. Nadia is a historically very famous district lies between 22053’ N and 24011’ N latitude and longitude from 88009 E to 88048 E, covering an area of 3,927 square km under the State of West Bengal in India but regular incidents of floods almost every year in time of monsoon is a big problem here. Unscientific development works from British Period hamper the drainage systems of Nadia and create many incidents of flood in colonial period. Still now millions of people face this problem in various blocks of Nadia. Development in scientific way, preservation of water bodies & river, dig new ponds & canals, increase awareness programme between publics, modernise flood warning system, obey the safety precaution rules in time of flood can save the people from this hazard.

    © 2018 IJRAR September 2018, Volume 5, Issue 3 www.ijrar.org (E-ISSN 2348-1269, P- ISSN 2349-5138) Dealing With Inattentive Students In The Absence Of Corporal Punishment Under Right To Education – A Study On The Teachers Of West Bengal . Palash Majumder,M.Ed scholar,IGNOU Vill- Uttar Rajapur,P.O-Mollabelia, P.S- Haringhata, Nadia ABSTRACT: After a long time of implementing the Right to Education Act the goal of total elimination of corporal punishment is not achieved yet. The teachers are not fully aware about their duties and responsibilities for the total elimination of corporal punishment. The teachers do not possess the capacity, the skills or the knowledge to make the students attentive towards their classes without using any punitive method. The present study makes an effort to understand the level of knowledge and sincerity of the teachers of West Bengal towards the use of methods suggested by the NCPCR to avoid corporal punishment in school and also about their perception regarding the corporal punishment in this present situation. The study also makes an effort to suggest some steps which can be helpful for the creation of an ideal classroom free from any types of punishment. KEY WORDS: inattentive students, corporal punishment, dealing with INTRODUCTION: In India the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, which has come into force with effect from 1 April 2010, prohibits ‘physical punishment’ and ‘mental harassment’ under Section 17(1) and makes it a punishable offence under Section 17(2). These provisions are as follows: 17. Prohibition of physical punishment and mental harassment to child – (1) No child shall be subjected to physical punishment or mental harassment.
