Abstract:

The study aims to assess the awareness of the Right to Education (RTE) Act 2009 among parents in the community of tribal of Dakshin Dinajpur District. While the RTE Act empowers Indian students to access education despite various obstacles, its effectiveness relies on proper implementation, which hinges on increasing awareness. The researcher sampled 60 parents of primary school students from the tribal community in Dakshin Dinajpur District using a Descriptive Survey Method. The primary objective was to evaluate the level of awareness existing among the tribal parents regarding the RTE Act 2009. No noteworthy transformation in awareness-level between both male as well as female parents was revealed in the analysis. Additionally, there was no notable contrast in mean-scores between parents with educational qualifications up to Class VIII and those with qualifications above Class VIII regarding awareness of the RTE Act 2009.

Abstract:

Alipurduar (also known as ‘Dooars’) was a subdivision of Jalpaiguri district before its emergence as the new 20th district of West Bengal on 25 June 2014. The districts of North Bengal (including Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, Coochbehar, Uttar Dinajpur, Dakshin Dinajpur and Malda) have been poorly placed in comparison to the state of West Bengal, in terms of Human Development Indicators: low literacy level, poor condition in sanitation, and partly availability of electricity and safe drinking water (Report on Comparative Backwardness of North Bengal Region, Government of India, 2002). Research on regional disparity is essential for addressing the lacuna in the planning process of development (Sen, 2001). In the present study, an analysis has been made in terms of the inter-block inequality in socio-economic and infrastructural development of Alipurduar district as a newly emerged region.

Abstract:

Jute crop plays a pivotal role in the farming economy of number of eastern Indian states like West Bengal (Paschimbanga), Asom, Bihar and Odisha. In spite of available sound production technology, the main concern in jute fibre production system in India is the non-uniform productivity over 87 jute-growing districts located in varying agro- climatic regions of the country including 17 jute-growing districts of West Bengal having relatively higher productivity in South Bengal than in North Bengal. The major reasons of technical nature for low productivity in North Bengal are initially identified as soil acidity. The participatory farmers’ field experiments were conducted at Balurghat (pH 5.06, EC 0.024 dS/m, OC 0.59%, available N, P, K= 246, 29, 90 kg/ha) and Kumarganj (pH 4.45, EC 0.002 dSm-1, OC 0.51%, available N, P, K= 314, 15, 98 kg/ha) blocks of Dakshin Dinajpur district of North Bengal with an aim to enhance the productivity of jute through proper soil fertility management. The results of the field experiment revealed that application of lime (based on LR value) coupled with soil test-based balanced fertilization enhanced the productivity of olitorius jute [over farmers’ practice Balurghat [(2.42 tonnes/ha) and Kumarganj (1.52 tonnes/ha)] by 29.1% and 45.7% in the constrained acidic block of Balurghat and Kumarganj (of Dakshin Dinajpur district) respectively. The same treatments also improves the B:C ratio and reduced insect pests and disease incidence.

Abstract:

Generally, new districts are formed to facilitate administrative expediency or ease of administrative connectivity in a much better way. Often it reduces the distance between the district headquarters and remote areas resulting in easy access to the district headquarters with investing less time and strain. Apparently, it becomes helpful to interact with the beneficiaries in implementing and monitoring the government schemes and programmes in the areas near the district headquarters and remote areas, which is essential for the overall development of a region. In the present study, a meso-level specific comparative analysis has been done at inter and intra district level on the basis of some selected socio-economic indicators (based on Census of India data sources) to understand the impact of reorganisation of the administrative boundaries on the development of Uttar and Dakshin Dinajpur, West Bengal, India.

Abstract:

The aim of the present investigation was determine the butterfly diversity in a village Banihari, West Bengal, India and calculate the diversity indices. Pollard transect line method with minor changes was adopted for study. Survey was done at early morning with monthly interval. Butterflies were photographed with digital camera. Number of butterflies within the transect line were counted and then calculated the diversity indices with PAST 3.0 software. A total 48 butterfly species under four families were recorded during the study period. Most dominant family was Nymphalidae then followed by Pieridae, Lycaenidae and Papilionidae. Number of taxa, Shannon diversity index and Margalef species richness index were maximum at site1 and minimum at site 4. Most common butterflies were Common Mormon, Psyche, Blue Tiger, Plain Tiger, Striped Tiger, Grey Pansy, Small branded swift and Angled Castor. Moderate numbers of Butterflywere reported at the study site. Butterfly diversity depends on availability of host plants. Butterfly diversity decreased day by day due to many anthropogenic activities such as habitat loss, loss of host plant and use of pesticides.

"Problems and prospects of cultivation of indigenous rice landraces of Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal, India with special reference to Tulaipanji." Oryza-An International Journal on Rice 58, no. 4 (December 31, 2021): 449–62. http://dx.doi.org/10.35709/ory.2021.58.4.1.

Abstract:

The district Uttar Dinajpur of West Bengal is bestowed with very fertile soil, which helps to grow paddy and other agricultural crops. Cultivation of indigenous rice has been practiced by farmers since ancient times. Indigenous rice has several socio-economic, ecological and genetical aspects but the major problem lies in their comparatively low output. The diversity of indigenous rice landraces has been drastically reduced due to the introduction of high yielding varieties (HYVs). Through extensive survey it has been found that about 74 indigenous rice land races were available in different blocks of the district, but among them only about 20 varieties are now in farmers' hand while more than 70% of them are not cultivated in practical field. In India, the indigenous aromatic rice landrace Tulaipanji (GI 530) is only grown in Raiganj sub-division of Uttar Dinajpur and small pockets of Dakshin Dinajpur district of West Bengal. Due to its aroma and quality this rice could make the position in global market through proper marketing. A phylogenetic study of the rice landraces has been performed and observed that only three of them i.e., Tulaipanji, Radhunipagal and Gobindavog are closely related to each other, which also has the close lineage with the Asian wild-rice (Oryza rufipogon). Today's society demands the interaction and incorporation of scientific technology for the upliftment of indigenous rice landrace sustainable cultivation. Really it has the immense scope and prospects, which ultimately save the human life from notorious diseases.

Abstract:

The researcher has tried to know and acknowledge the vocational interests of secondary school students of Dakshin Dinajpur District in West Bengal. The objectives of this study are; 1. To study the relationship between vocational interest and social economic status of Secondary school students; 2. To compare the vocational interest of male and female secondary school students; 3.To compare the socio economic status among male and female secondary school students; 4. To compare the vocational interest of rural and urban secondary school students; 5.To compare the vocational interest of General and SC/ST/OBC Secondary school students. This study investigated the vocational interest across gender and socio-economic status among a random sample of 300 secondary school students. The researcher used; the Vocational Interest Record developed by Dr. S.P. Kulshrestha, (2017) to measure the Vocational Interest and the socio-economic status scale developed by Prof. Ashok k. Kalla& Mr. Sudhir Sahu (2012) to measure the socio economic status. The data were analyzed with the help of Mean, S.D. and t-test to study the vocational interest of secondary school students of Dakshin Dinajpur District in relation socio-economic status. The study revealed that there is a significant difference between the Vocational Interests of urban and rural students and Gender variations are not evident in Vocational Interests among secondary school students. Vocational Interests and socioeconomic status are negatively correlated. The findings from this study have implications for the teachers or educators to acquire knowledge of the Vocational interests of urban and rural students. It also exaggerates the necessity of educational and vocational guidance and counselling at the stage of secondary school.

Abstract:

Ocimum traditionally known as Holy Basil or Tulsi is an available herb plenty across the country. Traditionally, it is used against a number of human diseases. In this present study, the metabolites present in the ethanolic extracts of nine Ocimum taxa, O. tenuiflorum L. (Green and purple type) two morphotypes of O. basilicum L., (Babu and Marua tulsi) two morphotypes of O. gratissimum L. (Ram and Ajowan tulsi) and each one from O. americanum L. (Bon tulsi), O. × africanum Lour. (Lebu tulsi), and O. kilimandscharicum Guerke.grown naturally in Dakshin Dinajpur district, West Bengal, India were identified using Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Among the identified metabolites, carbohydrates, aliphatic alcohols, aliphatic acids, fused ring aromatic hydrocarbon, amino acids, phenolic compounds, quinone, steroids, terpenoids and vitamin E were the chief constituents. The occurrence of these metabolites describes the high biological activity of Ocimum species. Furthermore, in vitro antibacterial activities were also identified against four bacterial strains, Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 96), Bacillus cereus (MTCC 1305), Proteus vulgaris (MTCC 1771) and Escherichia coli (MTCC 2939). Tested bacterial strains were taken from the Institute of Microbial Technology, Chandigarh, India The results indicated that the ethanolic extracts of all the nine Ocimum taxa have satisfactory minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against the tested microorganisms. O. tenuiflorum has the highest (91.03 %) metabolic content whereas O. × africanum has the minimum. This would definitely serve as a scientific basis of the traditional use of basil against human ailments.

Abstract:

Aim of the study: The study was conducted to reveal the prevailing health status of two primitive Santhal and Sabour tribes of northern region i.e. Dakshin Dinajpur district in West Bengal, India. Methodology/Design: In this study, Purposive sampling method was adopted. Blocks were selected due to their socio-economic backwardness and tribal dominancy in the district as well as state of West Bengal. In the district, from each Santhal and Sabar tribes 40 numbers of sample populations were randomly selected. The collected data was computed and analysed by various statistical methods. Findings of the study: The education level, occupational status, income level, house type, knowledge and attitude towards health status index were significantly better in Santhal’s but not in Sabar tribes. Sabar tribes consume less feed, sickly built and less land holding capacity which in turn are directly or indirectly related to health status of the tribal’s. The major constraint faced by all the selected tribes were lack of awareness, knowledge, education, low income, lack of availability, poor personal hygiene, low prophylactic measures to maintain the health status of the tribal people. Practical Implications: The study signifies and suggests inclusion of increased literacy programme, vigorous awareness campaign on hygienic health activities for tribal development. Originality/Value: The study has explored several entrepreneurial ventures which increased income level and occupational status of tribes along with usual developmental programme of the government. This will also helpful for better socioeconomic upliftment of the area and tribal community as a whole in the functional area of the state of West Bengal, India. Key words: Health Status, Santhal, Sabar, Tribes, comparative, North Bengal Paper Type: Research Paper

Abstract:

This study was conducted in two blocks of Dakshin Dinajpur district in West Bengal to find out any difference exist in certain socio-economic status of the tribal families like retention and dropout of tribal students. Since Dakshin Dinajpur is a district consisting of a large tribal population was selected for study. According to 2011 census the tribal population was 16.48% and the tribal literacy rate was 57.04%. This study compared the retention and dropout statistics from 2013 to 2018 in two blocks at elementary level in order to find out any difference existed or not. Accordingly a sample of 750 tribal students and their family were surveyed in Gangarampur and Tapan blocks of Dakshin Dinajpur. The socio-economic status of head of the families of tribal students of these two blocks were also compared to find out whether any gap existed at each socio-economic status level.

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

The present study is aimed at assessing the performance of a Fish Farmers Producers Company ofDakshin Dinajpur district, West Bengal. Bhuihara Farmers Producer Company Limited with 551 membership base and having been established three years ago was selected. The overall performance score of the FFPC worked out based on Mukherjee (2018) scale was found to be 6.92. Technical efficiency score of the fish farmers, calculated following Coelli (1996) was found to be> 0.75. The analysis indicates that fish farmers can, on an average, increase their output by 25%, operating at the best scale possible and eliminating pure technical inefficiencies by implementing the most effective farming methods. According to the study, the biggest issue with overall technical inefficiency can be resolved by addressing the issue with pure technical efficiency. Skill gap and thereby training needs were identified by working out Mean Weighted Discrepancy Score. The highest training needs were in fish seed production & hatchery management skills (MWDS = 11.25), live fish handling and quality assessment skills (MWDS = 10 .12 ), pond hazard management skills (MWDS = 9.92), farm business and record keeping (MWDS = 9.2) and pest and disease management skill (MWDS = 9 .16).

Abstract:

The main aim of the present study was to gather comprehensive data on the wild edibles found in Dakshin Dinajpur, West Bengal, India, assess their cultural value, and comprehend how they contribute to the local tribes' attainment of food security. We gathered traditional knowledge about edible wild plants by administering a semi-structured questionnaire. Data collection followed standard protocols. To determine which species were most frequently cited and of cultural significance, the gathered data were subjected to specialized statistical analysis using tools such as the Cultural Food Significance Index (CFSI) and Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC). To determine how similar food plants are used in various Balurghat District localities and neighboring areas, the Jaccard Similarity Index (JI) was employed. A total of 1,603 citations were made by the 96 participants for 63 types of wild edibles spread across 36 families. Among the 63 species, 60 species were angiosperms, three species were pteridophytes. The RFC value was found to be in the range of 0.05-0.07. The most constantly referred species was identified as Madhuca longifolia (L.) J. F. Macbr. (RFC= 0,76; FC= 116). A total of 13 wild edible species was identified as the most traditionally valuable species in the locality including Marsilea vestita Hook. & Grev., Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott, Termitomyces heimii Natarajan, Enydra fluctuans Lour etc. For the tribal community of eastern India, using these wild edibles scientifically and sustainably can be a smart move towards achieving multiple health benefits and food security. Furthermore, culturally acceptable species can be a good source for nutraceutical bioprospecting.

Abstract:

AbstractThe production of urban solid waste is one of the most dangerous environmental health risks on the planet. By selecting suitable landfill sites, it is possible to resolve the issue of health risks and environmental pollution driven by the unscientific disposal of solid waste. The current research is centered on determining suitable landfill locations for solid waste disposal within the Balurghat municipality through the integration of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) approach. Ten factors were taken into consideration according to their weightage including elevation (0.022), Lithology (0.027), Slope (0.032), Land use and land cover LULC (0.040), Depth of water (0.057), Population density (0.075), Distance from sensitive places (0.107), Distance from road (0.154), Distance from river (0.205) and Land value (0.282). After conducting thorough field visits, an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) under the MCDM approach using GIS reveals acceptable sites that were noted and referenced. Final results are validated through a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve using randomly selected 80 potential landfill-suitable site location points with higher accuracy, and a total of 93% of the area under the curve (AUC) has been found worthy to validate the spatial result. The present investigation revealed that only 0.65% of land is very highly suitable, 31.06% of land is highly suitable, 52.54% of land is moderately suitable and 14.74% of land is not suitable for landfilling in Balurghat Municipal area and surroundings respectively. The highly suitable site belongs to the Mamna, Katna, Kuaran, Amtali, Noksha, Bannapara, and Malancha villages of the study area which is a very negligible area. So, the planners should adopt alternative strategies like source minimization, composting, sanitary landfills and awareness programmes for sustainable solid waste management. Hence, the Balurghat Municipality administration, urban planners, and administrative authorities stand to gain valuable insights from the findings of this study as they endeavour to enhance the management of urban solid waste in the area.
