  • Sacred Grove of Devi Satkanya at Lebong in Darjeeling Himalaya (India): a Traditional Way of Biodiversity Conservation Since Time Immemorial
    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 90 (2017) 51-61 EISSN 2392-2192 Sacred Grove of Devi Satkanya at Lebong in Darjeeling Himalaya (India): A Traditional Way of Biodiversity Conservation Since Time Immemorial Subhasis Panda Angiosperm Taxonomy & Ecology Laboratory, Botany Department, Maulana Azad College, 8, Rafi Ahmed Kidwai Road, Kolkata-700013, University of Calcutta, Calcutta, India E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT Devi Satkanya Sacred Grove is located behind a mistic town called Lebong as a pristine forest patch, about 8 km from Darjeeling Town. Geographically, the grove is located between 27°03.436’N Lat. and 88°16.592’E Long. at an altitude of about 1823 m. Total area of the grove is approx. 5770 square metre (sq.m.). In Darjeeling, most of the Sacred Groves have ‘deity’---rocky idols of Devi Durga and Lord Shiva, often reside inside small rocky caves called ‘cave temple’. Devi Satkanya Sacred Grove possesses a great heritage of diverse gene pool of many forest species having socio- religious attachment and possessing medicinal values viz., Garcinia cowa DC., Prunus cerasoides D.Don, Michelia cathcartii Hook.f. & Thomson (Chanp), Ficus nemoralis Wall. etc. Devi Satkanya SG is ecologically and genetically very important. It harbours a good number of Endangered ethnomedicinal plants like Swertia chirayita (Roxb. ex Fleming) H. Karst. and animals like Himalayan Salamander (Tylototriton verrucosus Anderson). As a result of extensive field visits in different seasons to Devi Satkanya SG from June 2014 to October 2016, new and first hand data on threatened plants and animals, ethnomedicinal plants and traditional and magical way of biodiversity conservation by the local Nepalese since time immemorial were documented.

The CBUD project has identified issues for intervention and areas of technical assistance that are required in the 30 cities spread across the country that were identified under the project for Technical Assistance. Formulation of new/revised city development plans (CDP) is one such initiative. First-generation CDPs were prepared for most of the cities under the JnNURM/UIDSSMT programme of GoI; these are proposed to be revised under this project as per the revised CDP guidelines issued by MoUD in April, 2013.

  • Macro-Scale Landslide Susceptibility Mapping in Kurseong - Mangpu Area of Darjeeling Himalaya
    Macro-scale Landslide Susceptibility Mapping in Kurseong - Mangpu area of Darjeeling Himalaya N.K. Sarkar*, T.B. Ghoshal*, Saibal Ghosh* and M. Surendranath* Abstract Macro scale Landslide susceptibility map ( LSM) of 316 Sq km in parts of Kurseong -Mangpu area of Darjeeling District was prepared by facet-wise integration of six causative factors (lithology, structure, slope morphometry, relative relief, landuse & land cover and hydrogeology) using GIS techniques (ARC/INFO 9.1 software) following the guidelines of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The prepared LSM shows spatial distribution of five zones of increasing landslide susceptibility The thematic maps with landslide incidences, prepared through detailed field studies and augmentation of available database, indicate the spatial distribution of thematic parameters vis-a-Ws landslide incidence of the area. Analysis of the LSM database reveals that about 38.51% of the studied area comes under high (HSZ) and very high susceptibility (VHSZ) zone. The moderately susceptibility zone (MSZ) covers 36.17% and low & very low susceptibility zones (LSZ&VLSZ) together constitute 25.32% of the study area. The prepared LSM when validated with the landslide incidence map of the area indicates a) no landslide incidence in VLSZ, b) a progressive increase in the relative abundance values of landslide for successive higher categories of susceptibility zones and c) a very high value (72.03%) for HSZ & VHSZ together. It is recommended that a) VLSZ&LSZ areas, which covers about 25.32% of the total area can be taken up for large scale future developmental work, b) Identification of suitable areas for developmental work within MSZ by Meso scale (1:10,000/1:5,000) LSM and c) HSZ&VHSZ areas should be avoided for any large-scale development.

  • Chapter 6 Forest Communities & Cprs in the Hill Region
    Chapter 6 Forest Communities & CPRs in the Hill Region 6.1 Introduction The region to be studied lies within the Eastern Himalaya which is a biodiversity hotspot little explored as yet by Government scientific agencies like the Botanical Survey of India [BSI] and the Zoological Survey of India [ZSI]. This makes it an important conservation zone, with an approximate area of 15000 sq. km. of forests having already been committed to designated Protected Areas. However imposition of statutory control over regional forests has been accompanied by large scale diversion of forest lands to plantations, agriculture and urban settlement. Economic development has also been accompanied by high levels of immigration which have brought forests in the region under extreme pressure, threatening their very survival. Study of the status of property rights and the patterns of use of CPRs, woodfuels and other forest resources is thus expected to throw light on the interdependence of human communities, economic development and natural resources in a region of the Himalaya where significant forests still survive. By documenting forest access and CPR-use by the communities that live on the very edge of subsistence at the forest fringe~ we make an attempt to meaningfully contribute towards the operationalisation of sustainable development through the means of self-governing social control systems. The present chapter and the next are based on the case-studies undertaken in the two northern districts of Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri in West Bengal respectively. 6.1.1 Geographical Description and Position of the Darjeeling district. Darjeeling is a small district that lies between 26°31' and 27°13' North latitude and between 87° 59' and 88° 53' East longitude in the extreme north of the state of West Bengal in India.

Darjeeling, West Bengal. Date: 18.06.2015 Abstract Title Rise and Fall of The Bengali Entrepreneurship: A Case Study of The Tea Plantation Industry In Himalayan and Sub Himalayan Region of Bengal (1879 – 2000) The ownership and control of the tea planting and manufacturing companies in the Himalayan and sub – Himalayan region of Bengal were enjoyed by two communities, to wit the Europeans and the Indians especially the Bengalis migrated from various part of undivided Eastern and Southern Bengal. In the true sense the Europeans were the harbinger in this field. Assam by far the foremost region in tea production was closely followed by Bengal whose tea producing areas included the hill areas and the plains of the Terai in Darjeeling district, the Dooars in Jalpaiguri district and Chittagong.

  • A Case Study of Darjeeling Hill, West Bengal
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org Volume 4 Issue 6 ǁ June. 2015ǁ PP.40-48 Landslide along the Highways: A Case Study of Darjeeling Hill, West Bengal. CHIRANJIB NAD. ABSTRACT: Out of the total landslide occurrences, nearly 20% are found in North Eastern region of India. The official figures of United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR) and the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) for the year 2006 also states that landslide ranked third in terms of number of deaths among the top ten natural disasters, as approximately 4 million people were affected by landslides. Unless human death it poses serious damage on roadways, railways, buildings, dams and many natural resources with untold measure of ecosystem and human society. As transportation is a lifeline of a civilization and lack of self sufficiency of a region it hold an important place to meet daily needs of human beings of a region. The study route (NH 31 A, NH 55 and SH 12 A) of landlocked Darjeeling district is very much prone to landslide vulnerability. The black memories of previous massive landslide hazard took large impression on the inhabited society. Sometime the district remains isolated island due to breakdown of transportation for a stretch of days in the time of massive landslide along study route. The main objective of the study is to highlight/describe the present situation of landslide zone along three study route. The study also highlight the nature of landslide took place according to their vulnerability scale, type of movement, type of activity, type of distribution and lastly type of style for further management.
