Abstract In the districts of Purulia and Bankura, this study offers a methodology for spatial assessment of vulnerable and risk-prone areas. These districts are adjacent in space and have identical geographic characteristics (other than the eastern portion of Bankura district). Vulnerability and risk assessment could be used to measure the interactions between individuals and their surroundings. This research aims to pinpoint the areas in these two districts that are particularly susceptible to natural, social, and meteorological disasters. The natural and climate-induced factors considered are rainfall distribution and vegetation conditions. The social factors are agricultural dependence, percentage of farmers, female population, labor dependence on agriculture, and literacy rate. The potential impacts of developmental and environmental degradation processes can be examined and assessed by classifying regions according to their vulnerability and risk levels. The fundamental factors impacting susceptibility and risk, which are recognized, and the associated thematic-based outputs are produced in this study based on the persistent phenomenon of drought within these two districts. The elements of vulnerability selected for this study are exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity (IPCC AR4) and risk, which is the combined outcome of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability (IPCC AR5). The aim of this research is to create a simplified, scalable assessment model for evaluating both vulnerabilities and threats, which can help with drought mitigation. It has been observed from the results that the western portion of the study area (Arsha, Purulia-I, Baghmundi blocks of Purulia district) with relatively higher risk and vulnerability needs more attention for reducing the vulnerability and risk than the eastern part. As a result, this research can serve as a platform for district-level prioritizing efforts, emergency response protocols, and policy interventions aimed at reducing disaster susceptibility (mostly drought) in Bankura and Purulia districts.

In the present paper five species of Sorastrum Kützing including a new species, Sorastrum philiposianum have been described from Bankura and Purulia districts of West Bengal, India. Amongst these species S. indicum Bernard and S. hathoris (Cohn) Schmidle are being reported for the first time from India. Moreover, S. americanum (Bohlin) Schmidle is an addition to West Bengal algae. All the specimens have been collected from desmids habitats of West Bengal having a low pH (5.0-6.5) and those were growing lodged on submerged portions of the aquatic weeds like Ceratophyllum demersum L., Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) C. Presl and Ipomoea aquatica Forssk.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpt.v20i2.17399Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 20(2): 243-249, 2013

The ever-increasing pressures on tropical forests due to the increasing population of socio-economically deprived communities dwelling in forest fringe areas are not only a matter of ecological concern, but also affect the sustainable livelihoods of these communities. Alternative sources of income are urgently needed for these communities. Forest is the principal natural resource for the Purulia, Bankura and West Midnapur districts of West Bengal, India. More sustainable harvesting of forest products, particularly Non-Timber Forest Products(NTFPs) and the production of value added products would therefore be the best possible way to improve the existing economic conditions of deprived forest fringe communities and save native forest biodiversity for the future.

ZnS nanoparticles of different sizes are synthesized employing a simple wet chemical method. These nanoparticles are used to study their impact on the Daphnia sp. through traditional toxicity tests. The percentage of mortality is found to increase initially with increasing nanoparticle concentration or exposure time and is finally found to saturate for higher concentrations or exposure times. Mortality is found to be higher for smaller particles. Hopping frequency and heart rate are also found to increase with increasing nanoparticle exposure time for a fixed nanoparticle concentration. These observations can be attributed to the enhanced surface photooxidation property of the ZnS nanoparticles. Thus the present study will help people to understand the hitherto unknown harmful impact of ZnS nanoparticles on aquatic organisms in the western part of West Bengal (Bankura and Purulia districts), India.

Due to inherent problems of water holding capacity of soil in the red and lateritic zone, the trend of climate change was assessed. Twenty rain gauge stations covering three districts (namely Bankura, Birbhum and Purulia) in the zone were considered to study the rainfall pattern. An increasing trend of yearly rainfall and shifting pattern of rainfall were observed in the said zone as a whole. The rainfall during May decreased in most of the selected stations, where as in October the rainfall amount increased in 75 % cases and in November it increased in 95 % cases. Analysis of maximum temperature data shows that average monthly temperature of summer months (April – May) of 1990-2000 decreased marginally compared to that of 1970-80 .The minimum temperature of the zone, as a whole shows an increasing trend.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The development of kharif rice yield prediction models was attempted through Machine Learning approaches such as Artificial Neural Network and Random Forest for the 42 blocks covering 13,141&thinsp;sq&thinsp;km upland rainfed area of Purulia and Bankura district, West Bengal. Models were developed integrating monthly NDVI with weather and non-weather variables at block-level for the period 2006 to 2015. The model correlation obtained was 0.702 with MSE 0.01. Though the weather variables vs NDVI models are quite satisfactory, NDVI vs kharif rice yield models however, show relatively less correlation, about 0.6 revealing the requirement of varied additional farmer-controlled inputs. Development of NDVI vs crop yield models for different crop growth stages or fortnightly over a larger data set with selective adding of weather and non-weather variables to NDVI would be the most appropriate.</p>

Background Tribal population in India had been known to depend on traditional tribal medicines for long to cure their ailments. With the development of health care facilities and spread of AYUSH system:of late many tribal people are seeking homoeopathic treatment. More than half of the tribal population of West Bengal are concentrated in the South western part of the state that covers the districts of Paschim Medinipur, Purulia, and Bankura. Midnapore Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital being located in the same region gets a good number of tribal patients seeking homoeopathic care. Objective To assess the level of homoeopathic awareness and the reasons for their preference to homoeopathic system. Methods A cross sectional survey was conducted in the outpatient department of Midnapore Homeopathic Medical College and Hospital, Government of West Bengal, India from January 2016 to June 2016 on adult tribal population using a self-administered questionnaire. Results The survey performed on tribal patients reflected the level of homoeopathic awareness, prevalence of disease, socio-demographic data, and health status of the tribal population. The positive effect with homoeopathic treatment also became evident in the study. Conclusion A favorable attitude toward homoeopathy among the tribal population was obtained. However, some wrong notions about the mode also emerged in the study. In this respect, the authors felt the need on arrangement of homoeopathic health camps and distribution of homoeopathic awareness materials in tribal language to improve the scenario.

The Pandemic from the Corona Virus (SARS-CoV-2) has impacted the worldwide Education Sector tremendously. Due to it educational institutes across the state of West Bengal have been closed since March-2020. The Pandemic forced the educational community in West Bengalto shift their teaching-learning activities to online platforms.Teachers and students quickly adapted to synchronous i.e. interactive online classes along with asynchronous i.e. video-and other materials-based modes of teaching learning. Various online education platforms and facilitating tools are used heavily during this crisis period. This survey paper aims to get a detail report on the perception and preferences for different online teaching-learning parameters used by UG level learnersof different general degree colleges along with colleges of professional courses like BBA/BCA and engineering colleges fromthe districts of Bankura and Purulia of West Bengal.The students preference for different attributes of online learningmay be useful for designinga suitable online class environment.A survey work was done in online mode using google form. The form was circulated among several WhatsApp group of students of different colleges through their teachers.The result showed that almost 96% of thestudents prefer to use Google Meet or Google classroom with their smart phone for online classes. It was also observed that frequent loss of Internet connection in rural areas is moreprominent thanin the Urban and Semi Urban areas of South Bengal.Students preference has utmost importance to attract them for attending online classes. This article will be helpful to attract students in online classes in this crisis period.

A study was conducted to find out the variability of flowering behaviour and floral morphology of randomly selected 10 jamun genotypes (Syzygium cuminii Skeels) from 3 diferent districts namely Bankura, Purulia and Paschim Bardhaman under semi-arid lateritic belt of West Bengal during the year 2022. Only a single plant was considered for a single accession which was taken under the study. The selection was done on random basis. Significant variation has been observed among the genotypes for the flowering behaviour as well as morphological characters of flowers. Month of panicle emergence among the selected genotypes ranged from 1st week of March to last week of March. Time taken for bud development was observed 21 (days from panicle emergence) from three accessions like JA 9 was shortest among 10 jamun accessions studied. Longest time for bud development was observed in JA 4 (38 days). Duration of flowering was highest of 39 days in genotype JA 6 followed by 35 days in JA 10and 34 days in JA 4. The length of panicle was recorded longest from JA 1 (13.08 cm) and shortest in JA 2 (6.73 cm). Highest flower length was measured from JA 2 (26.39 mm) and lowest from JA 8 (8.31). Maximum number of branchlets per panicle was recorded from accessions like JA 1 (15.02) and it was least in JA 8 (7.39). Maximum number of flowers per branchlets was observed from JA 7 (12.07) followed by JA 4 (11.09). Number of stamens per flower varied between 58.04 and 67.07. The flower colour of all accessions was light yellow except JA 3(pale green). On the basis of this significant findings it can be conclude that the genotype JA 1 has most earliest flowering and biggest size flower from JA 2.

Purposes of the Study: The main purpose of the present study was to explore the Level of Inferiority Complex and Adjustment Problems of the Differently-Abled students. Besides this, the other purposes of the present study were to find out the relation of Inferiority Complex with Adjustment Problems and Academic Performance of the Differently-Abled students in the state of West Bengal. Methodology: The investigators used Survey based Quantitative method for the present study. The sample consists of 86 Differently-Abled Students from 14 (fourteen) selected special and normal schools which were situated in the district Hooghly, Bankura & Purulia in the state of West Bengal. The simple random sampling technique has been used for the selection of samples. The investigators have developed two tools, namely Questionnaire for Measuring Inferiority Complex and the Adjustment Problem Inventory by themselves to measure the Level of Inferiority Complex and Adjustment Problem of Differently-Abled Students. The present investigators have used SPSS (Version-20) followed by MEAN; S.D.; 't'-Test; ANOVA and Graph for analyzing the data. Major Findings of the Study: The overall results indicate that the Levels of Inferiority Complex and Adjustment Problem of the Differently-Abled students were Moderate. It was found that Gender, Age and Reading Class had no significant influence on the Inferiority Complex of the Differently-Abled students. It was also explored that the Inferiority Complex and Academic Performance of the Differently-Abled students were negatively interrelated with each other. It means that Academic Performance is decreased by increasing the level of Inferiority Complex of the Differently-Abled students. Applications of the Study: This study will be helpful for the parents, teachers, administrators, counsellors, educational policymakers as well as our society to treat the Differently-Abled students in a better way. Novelty/Originality of the Study: Through the present study, it was found that the level of Inferiority Complex of the Differently-Abled students can be influenced by their Nature of Disability and the Number of Sisters & Brothers. It was a novel finding of the study.

The present article focuses on a comparative study of the male-female disparity in literacy of two districts Purulia and North 24 Parganas in West Bengal, India. The Census data of 2011 has been used in this regard. The literacy rate has been calculated for the population above six-year, and Sopher’s Disparity index (1974) has been applied to measure the male-female disparity in literacy. The study examines the block-level male-female disparity in literacy among non-Schedule Caste (none-SC ST), Scheduled Castes (SC), and Scheduled Tribes (ST). The study highlights that North 24 Parganas is far ahead in terms of literacy than Purulia district. However, there is wide variation in block-level male-female disparity in literacy among the three-caste groups in both the districts. In block-level, the Bundwan block of Purulia district and Barasat-I and Deganga block of North 24 Parganas district occupies a remarkable place in terms of the male-female disparity in literacy among each three-caste group. Conversely, Jhalda-II block in Purulia and Hingalganj block of North 24 Parganas is the most backward block in terms of the male-female disparity in literacy among the all-caste groups. Although the Central and the State Government have taken various schemes to enhance literacy rates and eliminated the male-female disparity in education, more suitable steps need to be followed to implement appropriate measures towards education, especially for the women and other marginalised sections of the society.

South-western districts of the state of West Bengal, India are considered to be a significantly water-stressed area of the state because of unfavourable geological setting, subsurface lithology, soil cover and surface drainage pattern. Updated geohydrological data on micro-scale i.e., at subdivision or block-level are scanty for Bankura District, West Bengal. For the present study, a geo-hydrological survey was conducted in Taldangra block of Bankura District, West Bengal, during post and pre-monsoon session of 2017–18, to obtain an intense status on present groundwater quality of this water-stressed block. Variation of concentration of major affecting ions and spatial-temporal seasonal variations of water table elevation head and subsurface shift of predominant recharge and discharge zones of the block were demarked explaining the possible reasons. Suitability status of the groundwater for drinking, domestic and irrigation usages was also rated by the estimation of sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), soluble sodium percentage (SSP), permeability index (PI), Piper trilinear diagram.

Introduction: Anaemia in pregnancy is still a major concern in reducing maternal morbidity and mortality in India particularly in rural population. Haemoglobinopathies are important contributors to anaemia in pregnancy in rural India particularly in tribal population. Beta thalassemia is the commonest type of haemoglobinopathy all over the world. Thalassemia and other haemoglobinopathies are highly prevalent among the tribal communities in West Bengal. Bankura is one of the districts of West Bengal where more tribal population are present. So detection and prevention of thalassemias is one of the major public health problems in this part of the state of West Bengal. Study done by Manna et al4 showed that about 10% of the population is carrier of haemoglobin disorder. This study was taken up to document the recent prevalence status of hemoglobinopathies particularly Thalassemias and coexistence of iron deficiency anaemiasObjective: To find out prevalence of haemoglobinopathies and to compare the prevalence of different types of Thalassemias among the antenatal mothers.Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in Bankura Sammilani Medical College (BSMC), Bankura West Bengal among 3500 tribal and non-tribal antenatal mothers. Cation exchange-high performance liquid chromatography (CE-HPLC) is being used for investigation for hemoglobinopathies and thalassemias. Together with a complete blood count, the CE-HPLC is effective in categorizing hemoglobinopathies as traits, homozygous disorders and compound heterozygous disorders.Results: In our study 275 mothers had haemoglobinopathy. The commonest disorder we encountered was Beta Thalassemia trait (57.5%), followed by HbE carrier (36%), homozygous HbE disease (1%), HbS carrier (4%), HbE Beta Thalassemia (1.5%).Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(1) 2016 p.90-94

The level of education and its response to different educational opportunities vary from one spatial unit to another depending on various factors like social, economic, cultural, and institutional. It is understood that certain regions acquire relative advancements over others in terms of human resource development and human capital formation. The key purpose of this research is to examine the intra-district disparities in primary education in Bankura District one of the districts of West Bengal. It ranks 11thamong the 19 districts of West Bengal (Human Development Report, 2007). Overall literacy rate of the district stands at 70.26% but the district scores low in terms of female literacy rates, which is 60.05%,whereas the male literacy rate is 80.05%, which is a huge gender literacy gap of 20%. There are also regional inequalities existing at block level. Kotulpur ranks first with a literacy rate of 78.01% while Saltora occupies the bottom position with literacy rate of just 61.45% (Census of India, 2011). The level of educational development is dependent on several factors—enrolment ratio, dropout and repetition rates, pupil-teacher ratio, habitations covered by educational institutions, space-student ratio, drinking water and sanitation facilities in school, etc. In this context, the present study aims at examining the issues of intra-district disparities in educational attainment with regard to various educational amenities of Bankura district, West Bengal. Ten attributes have been selected to examine the level of development in primary education. It is clear from the study that the level of development in eastern part of the district is relatively better in comparison to other regions. Economic backwardness and physical bottlenecks continue to be major issues in western blocks.

Annotation:

There is scanty information on body composition characteristics among preschool children from underprivileged communities of India. Therefore, the present cross-sectional study was designed to assess the body composition characteristics among Sabar preschool children aged 1-5 years. The present study was conducted at six different villages of three blocks under Purulia district, West Bengal, India. The subjects were randomly selected from house-to-house visit from studied villages. Significant age variations were noticed in mean height, weight, and Body mass index (BMI) among both sexes. Boys showed significant age variation in mean triceps skinfold thickness (TRISKF), whereas the girls showed significant age variation in mean Mid-upper arm circumference. Maximum significant age variation was observed in mean height (Boys: F = 52.36, P < 0.001; Girls: F = 49.78, P < 0.001), and minimum significant age variation was noticed in mean TRISKF among boys (F = 3.78, P < 0.05) and in mean BMI (F = 5.13, P < 0.05). Age-combined mean values of percent body fat (PBF) and fat mass (FM) were significantly higher among girls (20.39% and 2.36 kg) than boys (16.17% and1.84 kg). The Pearson correlation coefficients (r) showed that body composition measurers were significantly correlated with the majority of variables among these children. In conclusion, the results revealed that PBF, FM, and fat-free mass were good indicators to measure the degree of fat deposition, which could be used as a nutritional indicator in terms of leanness.

The aim of the present study was to estimate long-term trend in the amount of rainfall for Gangetic West Bengal (GWB) meteorological sub-division of India and each of the 13 districts under GWB separately. Monthly rainfall time series data of 100 years (1901-2000) were analyzed to measure monotonous trend of rainfall employing Sen’s slope estimator. Statistical significance of the trend was determined using non-parametric Mann-Kendall test. An important result derived from the analysis was that the GWB sub-division and South 24 Parganas (S24P) district showed significant increasing trend (mm/year) of annual rainfall measuring 2.025 and 4.99 respectively. An inclining trend of monsoon precipitation, which was significant, found in four districts viz. Bankura, North 24 Parganas (N24P), S24P and West Midnapore along with GWB itself. A major finding of the study revealed that six districts and GWB had significant increasing trend in September rainfall with a maximum value of 1.324 mm/year in S24P district. Contribution of rainfall in October and post-monsoon season as well increased considerably in Kolkata and S24P districts while in December, similar trend was observed for Birbhum and Howrah districts. Murshidabad, S24P and East Midnapore districts experienced significant rising trend of precipitation in July, August and November respectively. On the contrary, Burdwan and Nadia districts, in the month of May and pre-monsoon season, had considerable declining trend of rainfall. Significant decreasing trend (mm/year) of precipitation, a concern for Nadia district, with magnitude of 0.127 and 0.293, was observed in the months of March and April respectively.

Markov chain models have been used to evaluate probabilities of getting a sequence of wet and dry weeks during South-West monsoon period over the districts Purulia in West Bengal and Giridih in Bihar state and dry farming tract in the state of Maharashtra of India. An index based on the parameters of this model has been suggested to indicate the extend of drought-proneness of a region. This study will be useful to agricultural planners and irrigation engineers to identifying the areas where agricultural development should be focused as a long term drought mitigation strategy. Also this study will contribute toward a better understanding of the climatology of drought in a major drought-prone region of the world.

This paper analyses how farmers to take decision to allocate and use their lands for potato production when both contract and non-contract farming options are available in West Bengal. We used a primary data collected from 327 potato producing households in Bankura and Bardhaman districts of West Bengal. We used generalized least squares fixed effect model in the empirical analysis. We observed that imposed restriction of seed supply limits the choice of both potato farming and non-potato farming. The benefits from contract farming are not accrued by the farmers who are mainly small and marginal landholders. They are also in a moment of ambiguity to choice their land use under non-potato cultivation. The choice of the farmers, therefore, remains constrained. This uncertainty can be overcome only through effective land use planning and institutional intervention.

Bankura district is drought-prone in nature from where rural people regularly migrate to the nearby agriculturally and economically developed districts. In the paper, regional pattern, nature, distance, duration, mechanism of this rural male-out-migration and linkages of migrants with the native villages have been analyzed. The study is primarily conducted on the basis of information collected from door to door survey through a structured questionnaire. These collected data indicate that the landless people, especially from drought-affected villages, experience a higher proportion of out-migration. They normally migrate during the absence of agricultural activities at their native villages and a large portion of these migrants also return to their village during the short agricultural season. It is also found that the frequency of visiting the native village has an inverse relation with distance. Those who regularly visit their native village, most of them move from a short distance.

Annotation:

The rainfed areas receive mean annual precipitation in range of 500-1500 mm with high degree of variability and are beset with problems of mid-season drought and associated impacts on the crop productivity. In this paper, analysis of weekly, monthly, annual rainfall and weekly rainfall probabilities in relation to crop productivity has been carried out for all the stations of the study area in West Bengal where rain-fed agriculture is predominant. However, duration of dry spells and its probabilities, climatic derivatives like commencement and cessation of rainy season, length of growing period (LGP) and estimates of water balance parameters have been carried out, in respect of all blocks in the identified three districts in West Bengal. The mean productivity during kharif season indicated that, highest productivity values of 3 to 3.5 t/ha are noticed in the block of central districts of Burdwan, Bankura, Birbhum, Hoogly districts. Perhaps, irrigation facilities in these districts might have helped in arriving at such high productivity rates. Low productivity of 1 to 1.5 t/ha have been noticed in two to three blocks of South 24-Paraganas and in Jalpaiguri districts. The productivity levels of northern districts, viz., Jalpaiguri, Coochbehar, West Dinajpur, South 24-Paranagas vary from 1.5 to 2.0 t/ha. The lowest productivity of 11.28 q /ha in Jaldha and 14.89 q /ha in Manbazar in 1996 can be due to heavy rainfall conditions in June and again in August. The mean productivity pattern of rice crop during kharif season in identified districts was analyzed with respect to occurrence of number of dry spells at different growth stages and average MAI values. The productivity was also related to monthly rainfall (July) and correlations have been mentioned for Jaldha block (0.22) and Manbazar block (0.64). The highest productivity of 2-3 t/ha are recorded in hot sub-humid to humid regions of West Bengal where LGP vary from 150 to 200 days. From the study of the probability of dry and wet spells and MAI during different crop phenophases, the most vulnerable phases can be identified in each region.

Annotation:

Seasonal migration is a common livelihood strategy among marginal and landless people of the western part of West Bengal. The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) and Census data have failed to provide information on seasonal migration and livelihoods at the micro-level. The present study focuses on the nature, characteristics and factors of seasonal migration with its importance as a livelihood strategy among women agricultural labourers (WALs) in Soul Ponamara mouza of Hirbandh block at the micro-level. The study is based on primary data collection using a purposive sampling method and a semi-structured questionnaire, personal interview and focus group discussion. This study reveals that seasonal migration from Soul Ponamara to the adjacent agriculturally prosperous districts viz. Purba Bardhaman and Hooghly (4 to 6 times in a year) is a common livelihood strategy among WALs in the study area, and its proportion is almost equal to when compared to male migrants. The small size of agricultural land holding, existing monoculture system, lack of irrigation facilities, a limited job opportunity in the Soul Ponamara mouza and its surrounding area (Amjhuri, Bijardihi, Chaka Doba, Moshiara, Bamni and Rangametia) provoke women labourers to move out in searching of works. In contrast, high wage and massive demand for skilled and semi-skilled agricultural labourers during sowing and harvesting season in the destination area, that is, paddy and potato fields of Purba Bardhaman and Hooghly districts acted as a magnet to absorb these immigrants into the workforce. This study concludes that seasonal migration opted for employment and income generation is the primary livelihood strategy adopted by the rural WALs of this mouza to cope up with the existing poverty and food insecurity.

Are the issues of socioeconomic inequalities related to specific caste biases in Contemporary India? Why are some social groups in the socioeconomic ladder lagging compared to others? How much have the poor people living in rural areas in India achieved their esteemed goals in the present economic arena of development? Is it the limited educational attainment or lack of physical and social capital of the poor households that begets inter-group economic inequality? Or is it a social identity that impedes the well-being of a certain social group? In search of answering these questions, this article explores the role of castes in explaining socioeconomic inequalities in the rural settings of contemporary India. The limited access to basic amenities and the poor educational attainment of the lower castes and the dominance of the upper castes in these regards show the persistence of social group inequalities. Four remote villages of Purulia district, one of the most backward tribal districts of West Bengal were systematically selected for scrutiny to explore socioeconomic inequality within the caste structure. Two are tribal villages with low inequality and the other two are multi-caste-oriented villages with high inequality.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to estimate the degree of technical efficiency, determinants of technical inefficiencies and driving forces behind the production growth for a panel data set collected during the 1998/1999 and 2004/2006 Kharif cropping season, from 452 small-scale rice farming households in the Giridih and Purulia districts of Eastern India. Design/methodology/approach The estimations of technical efficiency utilize stochastic frontier production function with a sub-model of inefficiency effects at both aggregated farm level and disaggregated plot level where traditional varieties (TVs) and high-yielding varieties (HYVs) are differentiated. The output growth decomposition analysis identifies the main contributor to the total rice production growth. Findings The results indicate that the sampled farms are operated at moderate levels of technical efficiency. The production of HYV rice is associated with higher technical efficiency compared to TV rice. Farming experience, education attainment, landholding size, the share of non-agricultural income and the share of land in the lower terraces account for the differences in technical inefficiencies across the sampled farms. The decomposition analysis suggests that as technical efficiency decreased, technical change is the main source of production growth during the survey period. Research limitations/implications The small sample size applied in the analysis will result in an insufficient representativeness of the study area. Originality/value This paper fills the literature gap as estimations of technical efficiency that account for subtle differences in adopted rice varieties are still rare in India.

Since early ancient period human being are searching for new drugs with better therapeutic potentials. Traditional medicines are very important because it provide the right direction to the researcher to discover new plant based products against some specific problem and the knowledge has been passed through generation after generation. Curculigo orchioides Gaertn.and Asparagus racemosus Willd. both plants have immune stimulatory properties and are widely used by traditional healers for the treatment of various diseases. The main aim of the present study is to identify the secondary metabolites found in methanolic root extracts of C. orchioides and A. racemosus. Extraction was carried out through standard procedures and the analysis of plant extracts was carried out by using LC-ESI-MS/MS technique in positive and/or negative ionization mode. LC MS study tentatively identified 15 and 19 secondary metabolites from Curculigo orchioides and Asparagus racemosus respectively. Amongst these some were simple phenolic acids such as caffeic acid, quinic acid, p-coumaric acid, sinapic acid, protocatechuic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid and vanillic acid. Some others were phenolic acid esters such as chlorogenic acid, di caffeoylquinic acid, p-coumaroyl quinic acid and some flavonoids such as quercetin, rutin, kaempferol, catechin and apigenin were also tentatively identified. Two phenolics caffeic acid and caffeoyl hexoside were further confirmed by MS MS study. This study supports the ethnobotanical claims done by traditional healers of Purulia and Midnapore districts. Characterized phytochemicals were mainly phenolic and flavonoid compounds. Assured levels of phenolics along with other plant constituents in the studied plants supports the ethnobotanical claim done by traditional healers. Further research is needed on structural analysis and bioactivity assay of the identified compounds.

The present study investigates the magnitude of fluoride (F−) contamination in agricultural land soil and food crops from F− endemic regions of Bankura and Purulia districts in West Bengal. Mean fluoride level in agricultural soil was 114 ± 59 mg/kg (n = 41) and 126 ± 65 mg/kg (n = 47) in Bankura and Purulia districts, respectively. Considering the food crops cultivated in Bankura (n = 79) and Purulia (n = 108), the mean fluoride concentration in nonleafy vegetables (18.1 ± 6.51 mg/kg and 15.6 ± 5.93 mg/kg) and leafy vegetables (12.8 ± 2.8 mg/kg and 18.4 ± 6.33 mg/kg) from the two studied districts was comparatively higher than that in the cereal (2 ± 1.05 mg/kg and 2.01 ± 1.01 mg/kg) and pulses (3.35 ± 1.42 mg/kg and 4.82 ± 1.19 mg/kg). The BCF values of fluoride in food crops (n = 27) from Bankura (range: 0.007–0.377) and Purulia (range: 0.005–0.319) were much lower than the optimum value of 1. Estimated daily intake (EDI) of fluoride was the highest for children in both Bankura (EDIcumulative = 0.0291 mg/kg bw/day) and Purulia (EDIcumulative = 0.0326 mg/kg bw/day) among all the studied age groups. The nonleafy vegetables contributed the highest exposure of fluoride (approximately 55.5%) to EDIcumulative among all the food crops. The uncertainty analysis for assessment of probabilistic health risk was carried out for all the studied age groups through hazard index (HI), total hazard index (THI), and lifetime noncarcinogenic risk (HILTNR). However, HI value was found to be <1 for all the age groups resulting in no such kind of potential health risk of fluorosis through consumption of individual food crops, and the trend of THI from all the food crops was found in the order of children > adults > adolescents > teenagers from both districts. The lifetime noncarcinogenic risk (HILTNR) of fluoride with percentile doses from P5 to P95 (exploring the model of Monte Carlo simulation) in all the studied age groups (4–70 years) was found to be >1 indicating that the inhabitants were more vulnerable for their total lifetime period of fluoride exposure through consumption of food crops.

This study explores the intensity and inequality of multidimensional deprivation (MD)across the districts of West Bengal, a north-eastern state in India. The measure of MD covers the dimensions of Knowledge, Health and Living condition with the respective indicators. We have clustered the districts in accordance with the selected indicators. An attempt has also been taken to gauge the inequality for deprivation indicators and for multidimensional deprivation index (MDI) applying the class of Atkinson measures. This study has used the data published by Directorate of Population Census of India 2011. It is reported that value of MDI ranges from 0.013 to 0.675 across the districts in West Bengal. Purulia is the most deprived district followed by Jalpaiguri, Maldah. On the other hand, Kolkata is the least deprived among the districts preceded by North 24 Parganas, Purba Mendinipur. The cluster analysis reveals that Kolkata is the distinct from the other districts of West Bengal. It is found that Darjeeling district and Jalpaiguri district form two separate clusters. The districts of Dakshin Dinajpur, Murshidabad, Uttar Dinajpur, Maldah, Birbhum, Bankura and Purulia are similar in terms of the indicators of multidimensional deprivation. The districts of West Bengal are, of course, not highly diverse in terms of multidimensional deprivation. However, inequality for MDI is higher than that for HDI of the districts.

Watershed management is rudimentary concept of integration of water management and livelihood. In dry and arid zones of West Bengal (Agro climatic zone VII), the districts like Purulia, Bankura, West Midnapore, Birbhum have the issues of severe water crisis, crop failure, and lack of irrigation water, soil erosion. Purulia receives an annual rainfall of 1200 cm but most but the condition of the top soil is degenerative and total top soil is eroded with water and water retention is minimal. Thus, it can be concluded that rainfall is surely not the issue for the water crisis. Now here is a ground breaking initiative of developing the watershed management programme for effective soil water conservation and also for the rejuvenation of six major rivers of South West Bengal. There are certain structures for example the 30-40 model which can slows down the speed of the run-off, prevent top soil loss and along with this certain water harvesting structures and plantation to secure food fodder and fuel crisis of marginal individuals of these regions. In this paper discussion have been made regarding the formulation of strategies of Watershed development and its field level implementation at Hura Block as this is our intensive block of the project. Vigorous technological use like estimation of run off and development of models complying with the run off standards are analyzed in the paper. Furthermore, the cropping techniques that have been performed to develop the watershed and promote soil conservation has also be critically analyzed in the research paper.

The growing organic food market offers considerable trading opportunities for organic farmers in India. In this context, this article intends to find out whether the organic farmers are exploring these marketing opportunities in the three districts (namely, Purulia, Purba Bardhaman and Nadia) of West Bengal. Farm-level marketing efficiency is measured in a framework of data envelopment analysis. Evidence reveals that farmers’ marketing activities determine the level of marketing efficiency. Results show that organic farmers in Nadia district are relatively marketing efficient in comparison to the farmers in Purulia and Purba Bardhaman districts. Moreover, an attempt has been made to identify the determinants of marketing efficiency. The result shows that marketing efficiency is affected by the economic status, level of education, years of farming experience, size of landholding of the farmer household and the type of marketing arrangement.

This study desires to look at the impact of family background on cognitive skills of the children. On the basis of primary survey of two districts of West Bengal—namely Bankura and Nadia—and using the fathers’ education, occupation and per capita household income as the proxies for family background we have employed multinomial probit and ordered logit regression model for this analysis. The findings reveal that there exists a significant positive association between family background and cognitive skills of the child indicating the existence of poor intergenerational mobility in education in the surveyed region.

All the blocks of Nadia and Purulia districts characterized by hot moist sub-humid and hot dry sub-humid agro-ecological regions, respectively were surveyed and physico-chemical characteristics of pond water and sediments were analysed. The parameters of interest were texture, pH, cation exchange capacity, N, P and K contents of pond sediments and pH, dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, hardness, alkalinity, available phosphorus and primary productivity of the pond water. Based on the sediment and pond water characteristics an improved fertilizer and manure management schedule as well as maps has been prepared for demonstration of composite fish culture. The fish species attained higher growth rates in the ponds of hot moist sub-humid agro-ecological regions (alluvial soils) in comparison to hot dry sub-humid agro-ecological regions (red & lateritic soils). The fish production in the experimental and control ponds of hot moist sub-humid agro-ecological regions were 5.18 and 3.09 tonnes/ha/yr respectively, as against 4.56 and 2.64 tonnes/ha/yr respectively in hot dry sub-humid agro-ecological regions, indicating efficacy of improved nutrient management practices and the suitability of alluvial soil over red and lateritic soil for higher fish production.

Bemisia tabaci (whitefly) is one of the most detrimental agricultural insect pests and vectors of many plant viruses distributed worldwide. Knowledge of the distribution patterns and insecticide resistance of this cryptic species is crucial for its management. In this study, genetic variation of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (MtCoI) gene of B. tabaci was analyzed followed by a study of the infection profile of various endosymbionts in 26 whitefly populations collected from West Bengal, India. Phylogenetic analysis revealed Asia I as the major cryptic species (65.38%), followed by Asia II 5, China 3, and Asia II 7, which were diversified into 20 different haplotypes. In addition to the primary endosymbiont (C. poriera), each of the four whitefly species showed a variable population of three secondary endosymbionts, majorly Arsenophonus with the highest infection rate (73.07%), followed by Wolbachia and Rickettsia. Further phylogenetic analyses revealed the presence of two subgroups of Arsenophonus, viz., A1 and A2, and one each in Wolbachia (W1) and Rickettsia (R3). Resistance to thiamethoxam, imidacloprid, and acetamiprid insecticides was analyzed for a clear picture of pesticide resistance status. The highest susceptibility was noted toward thiamethoxam (LC50 = 5.36 mg/L), followed by imidacloprid and acetamiprid. The whitefly population from Purulia and Hooghly districts bearing Asia II 7 and Asia II 5 cryptic species, respectively, shows maximum resistance. The differences in mean relative titer of four symbiotic bacteria among field populations varied considerably; however, a significant positive linear correlation was observed between the resistance level and relative titer of Arsenophonus and Wolbachia in the case of imidacloprid and thiamethoxam, while only Wolbachia was found in case of acetamiprid. Expression analysis demonstrated differential upregulation of insecticide resistance genes with Purulia and Hooghly populations showing maximally upregulated P450 genes. Moreover, thiamethoxam and imidacloprid resistance ratio (RR) showed a significant correlation with CYP6CM1, CYP6DZ7, and CYP4C64 genes, while acetamiprid RR correlated with CYP6CX1, CYP6DW2, CYP6DZ7, and CYP4C64 genes. Taken together, these findings suggested that P450 mono-oxygenase and symbiotic bacteria together affected whitefly resistance to neonicotinoids. Hence, a symbiont-oriented management programme could be a better alternative to control or delay resistance development in whitefly and can be used for pesticide clean-up in an agricultural field.
