Abstract:

Barpeta district, Assam, India covers an area of 2754 square kilometers. The Spider specimens were collected by visual search method and the collection methods adopted were Aerial hand collection, Ground hand collection and Beat sheet method. 70 spider species from the different habitats of Barpeta District were documented. The study shows the difference in quantity and quality of spider fauna concerning the seasons and collection method. The spider species were more active in the post-monsoon season and some were inactive during winter. Almost 75% of spider species were collected by the beat sheet method which shows that it is more significant than all other trapping techniques. The spider species richness and spider abundance were significantly affected by seasons, studied by Simpson’s diversity index and Shannon – Weiner’s diversity index. However, further study needs to be carried out for the effective conservation of these species.

Abstract:

The main objective of cluster front line demonstrations (CFLDs) is to demonstrate newly released crop production and protection technologies and its management practices at the farmer’s field in cluster approach under different agro-climatic regions and farming situations. Pointing the importance of cluster frontline demonstrations in transfer of oilseed production technologies, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Barpeta conducted CFLDs at farmers’ field and accordingly study was conducted in Barpeta district of Assam. The study revealed that important package of practices where more increase in adoption was found were use of high yielding variety of rapeseed Var-TS-38 (72.5%), seed treatment (67.5%), use of proper seed rate (65.0%), recommended fertilizer dose (57.5%), line sowing on furrows (40.0%), weed management (27.5%) and sowing time (30.0%). There was noteworthy difference observed in yield of oilseed before conductance of CFLD and after CFLD programme. B:C ratio of oilseed crop after CFLD was higher than before CFLD. It showed impact of CFLD on adoption of oilseed production technologies. The factors responsible for low B:C ratio before CFLD was less adoption of all the recommended package of practices for oilseed crop in the region.

Abstract:

In the current era of climate change, people worldwide are increasingly concerned about the environment and its impact. Therefore, this paper aims to look into the behaviour of consumer regarding sustainable products and the implementation of green marketing practices in Barpeta district. The research put to use both the primary and the secondary data. The primary data was accumulated from 90 respondents in Barpeta District using a simple random sampling method. The study is being conducted from 2022 to December 2023. Various statistical tools such as weighted score, mean, rank analysis, and Chi-square test are employed to study the data. The findings could not find any significant difference in awareness of sustainable products based on age or education level. Similarly, gender does not play a significant role in influencing awareness of green products and marketing practices related to the environment. However, there is a significant difference in awareness of sustainable products based on employment status and income level. Based on the rank analysis, six variables are identified as significant factors influencing awareness of sustainable products and marketing practices related to the environment. These findings provide valuable insights to draw meaningful conclusions from the study.

Abstract:

Information on the dynamics of consanguinity is always important for public health strategy. It provides a direct roadmap for healthcare providers and health policymakers to make people aware of the consequences of consanguinity. The present study aims to investigate the attitude of the Muslim people practising consanguinity in the char (river island) areas of Barpeta district in Assam. It intends to seek a cultural explanation behind the practice of consanguinity. The study was conducted cross-sectionally among the Muslims living in different villages of the temporary, semi-permanent and permanent river islands of Barpeta district in Assam. A total of 556 married couples were included in the study. Of these, 103 couples are consanguineous and the rest 453 are non-consanguineous. To study the prevalence of congenital disorders, a sample of 153 males and 121 female inbred children of the consanguineous couples and 701 male and 571 female children of the non-consanguineous parents have been included in the study. The prevalence of consanguineous marriage in the chars was found to be 18.53% and the average coefficient of inbreeding was 0.05996796. Of the consanguineous marriages, the most favoured type was between the first cousins (63.11%), followed by half first-cousin marriages (12.62%). Altogether 14.60% of inbred were found to have some type of congenital disorder against 0.31% non-inbred. In the chars of Barpeta, it is not only ignorance but poor economic condition is also a reason behind the practise of consanguinity. Consanguineous marriage provides means of escaping the expenditure incurred in dowry or bridewealth payment. With seasonal floods, river erodes their village and crops completely every year. Family remains the sole source of stability and security. Consanguineous marriage therefore forms a sort of social capital as they are a source of secured and stable married life in the most hostile ecological settings where these people are living. Social security is of utmost priority behind these marriages in the char.

Abstract:

Labeling speech in an audio file with appropriate dialect labels is the aim of a dialect identification system. This paper presents a method of using convolution neural networks (CNN) to identify four Assamese dialects: Goalporia dialect, Kamrupi dialect, Eastern Assamese dialect, and Central Assamese dialect. This study employed the speech patterns of four major Assamese regional dialects: the Central Dialects spoken in and around the district of Nagaon; the Eastern Assamese dialect spoken in the districts of Sibsagar and its neighboring areas; the Kamrupi dialect spoken in the districts of Kamrup, Nalbari, Barpeta, Kokarajhar, and some areas of Bongaigaon; and the Goaplari dialect spoken in the Goaplara, Dhuburi, and a portion of Bongaigaon district. Over the course of two hours, audio samples from each of the four dialects were used to train the classifier. Mel spectrogram pictures, which are produced from two to four second divisions of raw audio input with varying audio quality, are used by the CNN. The system's performance is also analyzed in relation to the lengths of the train and test audio samples. The proposed CNN model achieves an accuracy of 90.82 percent, which may be the best when compared to machine learning models.

Abstract:

The execution of the Line System in Assam in order to restrict the settlements of immigrant from Bengal was one of the important issues that influenced the Assam politics, most particularly the Muslim politics, during the late colonial period. It was first implemented in 1920 in Nowgong district and also in the Barpeta sub-division of Kamrup district. The Bengali speaking immigrants, mostly peasants, resisted against the Line System designed by the district administration and in that they got the support of the Assam Provincial Muslim League. The provincial league under the leadership of Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhasani condemned the Line System and protested against its implementation. The Muslim League organized meetings, demonstrations and hartals throughout the province to get it abolished. The indigenous inhabitants, however, strongly advocated the retention of the Line System and demonstrated their support for the Line System.

Abstract:

Background: The lifetime prevalence of mental morbidity in Assam is estimated at 8% (NMHS 2015–16). Understanding the distribution patterns of different types of mental disorders among persons with mental morbidity in different districts would facilitate evidence-driven district mental health programming in Assam. Given the varied socio-geopolitical situation across districts in Assam, significant variations in the distribution of mental disorders are expected. Aims: To assess interdistrict differentials in common mental disorders (CMDs), severe mental disorders (SMDs), socioeconomic impact, healthcare utilization, and mental disability across three districts sampled in NMHS in Assam. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study used stratified random cluster sampling to identify and study eligible adult participants in Dibrugarh, Barpeta, and Cachar districts. Standardized scales and validated questionnaires were used to assess mental morbidity, disability, socioeconomic impact, and healthcare utilization. The distribution of different mental disorders among persons with mental disorders and their interdistrict differentials were tested using the Chi-square test of significance. Results: Among persons with mental morbidity, the most common disorder was CMDs (79%). The proportional distribution of CMDs among persons with mental morbidity was significantly higher in the Dibrugarh district (79%), whereas the distribution of SMDs was higher in the Cachar district (55%). The distribution of alcohol use disorder was the highest in the Dibrugarh district (71.6%). Significant differences in disability and healthcare utilization were observed between the districts. Conclusions: NMHS 2015–16 Assam indicates significant differentials in the distribution of CMDs and SMDs, healthcare utilization, and associated disability between the three districts. The differentials necessitate further research to understand socio-ethnocultural, religious, geopolitical, and other factors influencing the distribution. These differences need to be accounted for during the implementation of mental health programs in the state.

Abstract:

The main purpose of this study is to construct a women’s empowerment index for handloom weavers by adopting the tools developed by the Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative (OPHI). Within Assam, India, 1000 sample respondents were selected for the study from five leading handloom production districts. For the study, individual-level data were collected by interviewing handloom weavers comprising seven domains and 25 indicators. A regression analysis was used in the study, and the results revealed that out of the five districts in Assam, the empowerment index of handloom weavers is highest for Kamrup (rural) (0.72), followed by Barpeta (0.64), Kokrajhar (0.61), Nagaon (0.58), and Chirang district (0.44). Overall, the women’s empowerment index for handloom weavers is less than the global standard empowerment weighted average of 0.80. It was also found that empowerment is linked to wages, education, availability of electricity, media exposure, and other household characteristics. Therefore, policies should set out a minimum wage structure for weavers that is fixed by the government and implemented properly as well as initiatives regarding other factors that encourage empowerment.

Abstract:

Background: The chars depend mostly on the whims of the current of river. The location, delicate ecological conditions and the political situation arising out of the ill- defined problem of immigration have collectively made the chars of Barpeta a challenging place to live. The worst sufferers are the children before entering adolescence period. This study aims to assess the level of nutritional status among the pre-adolescent children.Methods: 466 children (250 boys and 216 girls) from age 3 to10 years were measured cross-sectionally for their height and weight. Sample was collected from Chasra No. 2 char which fall under Baghbor revenue circle of the district. Using Z-score value, the underweight, wasting and stunting status was evaluated.Results: It has been detected that 39.2% boys and 18.98% girls are underweight. The percentage of stunted among them is 16% for the boys and 12.96% for the girls. With the increase of age the prevalence of stunting has decreased. BMI-for -age has detected 24% boys and 24.53% girls to be affected. When the children of the present study were compared with other populations, they were below the tribal children but above other children in their nutritional status.Conclusions: The prevalence of stunting is lesser than underweight percentage, reflecting their current nutritional status to be more affected than the long term exposure to undernutrition. The prevalence of underweight and stunting is higher among the boys than the girls. Further analytic studies are required to identify the underlying causes of their status.

Abstract:

Background: WHO (World Health Organization) defines adolescence as the segment of life between the ages of 10 and 19 years. The health problems of adolescents are very different from those of younger children and adults. Adolescent’s problems constitute a bulk of morbidities, which are unrecognized and uncared iceberg of disease burden. Moreover, the complex psychosocial morbidities and high risk behaviour of adolescents have been recognized as a threat to survival, growth and development. The objective of this study was to study the morbidity pattern prevalent among adolescents who attended the rural health training centre in Nagaon, Barpeta district, Assam.Methods: A cross sectional study was carried among 140 adolescents aged between 10 to 19 years, who visited the rural health training centre during the study period using convenient sampling technique. Data collection was done by using a semi structured questionnaire. A detailed history was taken regarding present and past illness. General and systemic examination was done. Anthropometric measurements were taken. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 17 and the results expressed in percentages.Results: The most common morbidity was anaemia, seen in 69.29% adolescents (males-66.04% and females-71.26%), followed by upper respiratory tract infection 37.14% (males-44.51% and females-34.48%) and dental problems 28.57% (males-28.30% and females-28.74%).Conclusions: Anaemia is the most common morbidity seen among adolescents in the present study. Early detection of the morbidities through regular survey will help in the prompt treatment and prevention of serious complications.

Abstract:

Flood related disaster is a yearly phenomenon in a State like Assam which brings miseries to the lives and livestock of its people. The ongoing COVID 19 pandemic had added more adversities to the flood victims of Assam. The sorry plight of these flood affected victims where they are forced to battle the flood situation and COVID-19 pandemic simultaneously with limited resources. The objective of the study was to identify the vulnerable communities as well as to record the confirmed COVID 19 cases of these districts which require emergency preparedness to tackle flood and COVID 19 related issues promptly. The study explored that an unprepared district and community is more prone to flood where as a crowded city like Kamrup Metro is prone to COVID 19 pandemic. Hence, Kamrup requires immediate emergency plans to be implemented to curtain the rate of SARS-CoV2 virus spread whereas the flood affected districts of Goalpara, Barpeta, etc. require immediate emergency plans for flood management so as to minimise the spread of the virus, as avoidance of crowding and maintenance of social distance are important parameters for minimising the spread of the virus, which unfortunately becomes impossible to maintain in relief centres due to limited space and over-crowding. Study explored that in comparison to the flood affected population, the number of relief centres were very less and were compelled to accommodate large numbers of people which exceeded the normal capacity, thereby facilitating an easy spread of the virus.

Abstract:

Dairy cooperatives are associated with creating opportunities for attaining higher level of market integration having implications for significant improvement in income of the dairy farmers. Given the positive impact of DCS membership from the analysis of multivariate regression the study further looks for factors that determine the decision to become membership of DCS. The analysis of the determinants based on logistic regression shows that milch animal holding, credit accessibility, availability of other services from DCS have positive relation with the membership decision, while dairy farming experience, distance to the cooperative collection centre and price of milk are negatively and significantly associated with cooperative membership. The study suggests that facilitating access to credit through dairy cooperatives to meet the financial viability, offering services to dairy farmers like fodder seed, subsidized concentrate feed, veterinary services, and establishment of more collection centre and improving market infrastructure can be instrumental in stimulating farmers’ membership decision to join cooperatives. Overall, to increase farmer’s membership the study recommends policies to take up more awareness programmes and trainings from time to time among the younger farmers on the beneficial effects of participating in cooperative system of dairying. The study concludes that cooperatives can be efficient in fostering wellbeing of the farmers with relatively higher income, employment and nutritional status.

Abstract:

Background: Dhokora khar (solid alkali), derived from water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is used by the people of Assam as a traditional food additive and as an antacid. It is usually prepared from the aqueous extract of water hyacinth ash. It is very popular in lower Assam particularly in the district of Barpeta and nearby areas. Apart from its use as a food additive in preparing palatable dishes, it is also used for the cure of ailments arising from stomach acidity and indigestion. In rural Assam, this khar finds applications as a natural fertilizer as well as a cleansing agent. Methods: Standard chemical and spectral procedures have been used to confirm the presence of acid and basic radicals. SEM-EDX, Atomic Absorption Spectrometry and Flame Photometry were used for information on chemical constituents. Results: Standard chemical and spectral procedures have been used to confirm the presence of acid and basic radicals. SEM-EDX, Atomic Absorption Spectrometry and Flame Photometry were used for information on chemical constituents. Conclusion: The investigation suggests that dokhora khar consists of a mixture of carbonates, chlorides, sulfates and phosphates of various metals such as K, Mg, Ca, Na, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, etc. Some of these metals such as Fe, Co, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cr, etc., are essential nutrients. Hence the results establish that the consumption of this traditional food additive by the natives of Assam provides health benefits.

Abstract:

Background: Assam is blessed with over 200 fish species. The perceptions of fish farmers in Nalbari and Barpeta districts of central Assam regarding the opportunities and challenges of utilizing indigenous fish species (IFS) for aquaculture have been discussed. Methodology: Utilizing a combination of purposive and random sampling techniques, data was collected from 120 fish farmers across Barpeta and Nalbari districts. Pertinent information was gathered from fish farmers (n=240) combined in the districts of Barpeta and Nalbari. To rank the causal factors based on the responses from the respondents, subsequently calculate the Rank Based Quotient (RBQ). Results and Discussion: High demand, market value, and potential returns as key prospects driving farmer preferences for indigenous fish species cultivation. However, high capital investment, inadequate technical support, flood, quality seed etc. were found as significant challenges in the study areas. These factors are negatively impacting farmers, hindering their ability to achieve anticipated fish yields and income. The study focused on addressing these challenges through integrated, multidisciplinary management plan on resource conservation together with geo-environmental, eco-biological and socio-cultural integrity.

Abstract:

The research was conducted at Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, Assam, India during September, 2021–May, 2022 to study the variation of Alternaria brassiciola infecting cabbage. Fifteen isolates of Alternaria brassicicola which infected cabbage were collected from six different districts in Assam and their variability was investigated. Within the in vitro setting, it was observed that all isolates exhibited significant variation in terms of conidial length, breadth, and septal count. The isolates displayed a range of average conidial length and breadth spanning from 20.45µm to 29.74µm and 6.56µm to 9.89µm, respectively. Additionally, the isolates exhibited a variation in transverse septa with counts ranging from 4 to 6 and longitudinal septa, ranging from 0.13 to 0.41. Regarding the colony colour, four distinct variations, ranging from dark grey-green to dark brown-green and from mild olive green to greyish olive green were observed. These colonies featured edges in shades of white, greyish, brownish, or green edges and their shapes varied between round and irregular, accompanied by either a fluffy or compressed growth pattern. The diameter of the radial growth, observed on the fifteenth day after inoculation, varied from 57.3 mm to 84.2 mm. In RAPD analysis it was evident that the Jorhat isolates (AbJor_2) and the Barpeta isolate, (AbBa_1) exhibited the highest genetic similarity, as indicated by the lowest genetic distance with the coefficient of similarity 0.484. Conversely, the Jorhat isolates (AbJor_3) and Barpeta isolate (AbBa_1) shared the least genetic similarity, with the coefficient of similarity 0.021.

Abstract:

The customary practices among various communities are a result of accumulation of knowledge of many generations over a long period of time. Many customary practices are associated with the health of human in some way. The Assamese Brahmins also practice many customary health practices, which affect the overall health of the human body in many ways. In this study, the customary health practices of Brahmins of Nalbari and Barpeta districts of Assam have been studied. Many practices related to various daily and seasonal activities are prevalent among the Assamese Brahmins. Some such practices are associated with daily activi- ties like cooking, bathing and eating. Customary practices associated with seasonal activities like festivals, Puja and Naam-Kirtan also finds an important place in their lifestyle. Modern day research has elaborated the scientific bases of many such practices followed by Assamese Brahmins. Some practices like fasting can help in keeping the body metabolism in check, leading to a healthy life. Many practices related to children, women and men helps in maintaining the childhood ailments, pregnancy and overall health of the people. The stringent customary practices, which are hard to follow in the present day world, are losing the frequency of use during the present days, leading to extinction of such practices, which evolved over long periods of time. Such customary practices can be utilized effectively for preventing present day ailments and also for cure without the use of any additional medicines or medical therapy.

Abstract:

The Bodos are important tribes of the North-Eastern India, particularly Assam. They belong to the Indo-Mongolian group of tribes and are inducted as Kiratas. They are mainly scattered in the districts of Kokrajhar, Goalpara, Barpeta, Bongaigaon, Baksa, Dhubri etc. The traditional Bodos celebrate Kherai as one of their significant religious festivals Brahma (2008) 14. They perform Kherai for well-being of their families, to yield good harvest and prosperity of the society. Kherai is a religious custom in which the primitive spiritual almighty is prayed earnestly. It is a prayer institution of Bwrai Bathou or Sibrai, the supreme deity of Kherai festival. Though there are mainly eighteen types of dances associated with Kherai puja but there are some additional dance-drama forms which are also counted after those eighteen dances and the main dancer of the puja is the doudini Brahma (2003) 20.

Abstract:

The Koch language is spoken in the states of Assam (Goalpara, Nagaon, Dhubri, Kokrajhar, Chirang, Bongaigao, Barpeta, Baksa, Udalguri, Karbi Anglong, Golaghat districts), Meghalaya (West Garo Hills, South-West Garo Hills, South Garo Hills and East Khasi Hills Districts). Koches are found in West Bengal (Northern part) and also in Bangladesh. The speaker strength of Koch in India according to 2011 census is 36,434. Koch community is the bilingual speakers of Assamese, Bengali, Garo, Hindi, and English. Contact situations of Koch with Assamese and Bengali languages have made the language vulnerable to language shift. The UNESCO report mentions Koch as ‘Definitely Endangered’1. Koch has gained the status of a scheduled tribe in Meghalaya in 1987. Kondakov (2013) traces six distinct dialects of Koch, viz., Wanang, Koch-Rabha (Kocha), Harigaya, Margan, Chapra and Tintekiya. He (2013:24) states, “The relationship between the six Koch speech varieties are rather complex. They represent a dialect chain that stretches out from Koch-Rabha in the north to Tintekiya Koch in the south.” This is diagrammatically represented as - Koch-Rabha(Kocha)→Wanang→Harigaya→Margan, Chapra→Tintekiya where the adjacent dialects exhibit more lexical similarity than those at the ends. Nine ethno-linguistic varieties of Koch (also mentioned in Kondakov, 2013:5) have been reported during field investigation. These are Harigaya, Wanang, Tintekiya, Margan, Chapra, Satpariya, Sankar, Banai and Koch Mandai.

Abstract:

The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), launched in February 2006 was renamed in October 02, 2009 as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (henceforth, MGNREGA). It is an anti-poverty flagship programme of the Government of India. The key purpose of MGNREGA is to enhance wage employment in the rural areas by providing at least 100 days of guaranteed employment to every household in a financial year. The MGNREGA implementation status report for the financial year 2012-2013 unfolds that the programme has already provided employment to 44.9 million households across 28 districts and five union territories. Hence, it is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the impact of MGNREGA on women beneficiaries. A plethora of research argues that MGNREGA, which promotes inclusive growth, is a vehicle of change, a lifeline for rural women. So far, however, there has been very little discussion about the impact of MGNREGA on women beneficiaries of Assam. This research is an attempt to examine the participation of women in MGNREGA, Assam. It critically looks at the issues, problems and challenges confronted by the women while working at MGNREGA. Written from a feminist perspective on gender, poverty and women’s empowerment, the research seeks to address the problems of the women beneficiaries through their lived experiences. For this, we conducted in-depth interviews with the women beneficiaries in the months of August and September, 2009 in four remote areas namely, Burka, Chandrapur, Barbhang and Muguriya, the first two situated in Kamrup, while the third and the fourth in Barpeta districts of Assam, where the programme of MGNREGA is on-going. The findings of the research suggest measures so that the programme can be made more effective in the long run.

Abstract:

The present study to investigate demographic profile of FPOs members in the effectiveness of group dynamics and their perceived constraints was conducted in Lower Brahmaputra Valley Zone (LBVZ) of Assam comprising six districts viz., Kamrup, Bongaigaon, Nalbari, Chirang, Barpeta and Goalpara. In doing so, it utilized the descriptive research design following an ex-post-facto approach to fulfil the objectives of the study. A total of eight FPOs promoted by Assam Agricultural University through CBBO-AAU and World Bank supported APART project were selected purposively. From each FPO, 15 active members were approached for data collection through personal interview method during 2022, which made 120 as final size of sample. The analysis of profile characteristics of the respondents revealed that majority of the respondents (FPOs members) in study areas were middle aged (66.67%) between 29 to 50 years with education level from high school to graduate/ above (80.83%), 64.17 percent were from small family size upto 4 members, 90.83 percent of the respondents had medium level of annual income (i.e. Rs 33190-379866.6), 46.67 percent had medium level of socio- political participation and 38.33 percent low and 35.83 percent high levels of material possession. The study also found that lack of co-ordination for different group activities, ineffective linkage and ineffective monitoring, lack of professional management, non-availability of timely credit and inadequate access to credit, weak financial position, absence of adequate market linkage, lack of storage facilities, distance from existing markets, lack of market information, lack of marketing knowledge and skills and difficulty in getting skilled labour were the perceived problems faced by FPO members in effective functioning of FPOs.

Abstract:

The present study focused on the diversity and distribution of endophytic fungal species in different plant parts (stems and leaves) of the plant Cissus quadrangularis Linn. collected from different locations of Assam, India. Plant samples were collected from three districts, Kamrup, Barpeta and Biswanath of Assam for endophytic fungal isolation. Variation was found in the distribution of fungal endophytes in stems and leaves of the plant collected from different locations under study. The percentage isolation of the endophytic fungal isolates was more from the stems collected from Kamrup (M) whereas the percentage isolation of endophytic fungal isolates was more from the leaves collected from Biswanath Chariali and Barpeta. Shannon-diversity and Simpson diversity indices of fungal endophytes varied in stems and leaves of the plant under study. This variation can be attributed to the soil conditions of the sampling site as well as the seasonal variation during sampling periods. Cladosporium sp. and Fusarium sp., are the most dominant and frequently occurring endophytic fungal species in C. quadrangularis of Kamrup (M) and Barpeta districts. Colletotrichum sp. and Rhizopus sp. were the dominant endophytic fungal species in Biswanath district. Since C. quadrangularis is used traditionally in the treatments of bone fracture, the study of endophytes associated to this plant could be of paramount significance with a scope of identifying the potent endophytes that are capable of producing bioactive compounds necessary in bone-healing.
