Abstract:

Fifty five wetlands comprising bils (32), dighis (7), jhils (2), pond/pukur (8) and rivers (6) distributed in 13 administrative blocks of Maldah district were surveyed and characteristic features were studied for occurrence of different types of aquatic plants, their categories and local environmental conditions. During the study, altogether 37 aquatic plant species were identified, belonging to Algae and Bryophytes (one species each), 3 species to Pteridophytes and 32 species to Angiosperms (7 species to Monocots and 25 species to Dicots). Depending upon occurrence of these plants in and along the wetlands, they have been categorized into 5 categories namely freefloating and bottom rooted floating (7 species each), submerged and emergent (6 species each) and littoral (constitutes 11 species). Occurrence of free floating Azolla pinnata R.Br. having symbiotic relationship with Anabaena azollae Strasb. in a few wetlands was remarkable. Besides, most of the observed wetlands have either been extinct and/or on the verge of extinction, needs for their restoration and protection to save the aquatic biodiversity (including micro flora and fauna).

Abstract:

The highest area of fresh water wetlands in the West Bengal is situated in the district of Maldah. Out of 23 larger wetlands of West Bengal 11 are located in this district. Maldah-wetlands are quite old and natural with good biodiversity and healthy ecosystem. These wetlands are the house of around 351 vascular plant species and several animal species like waterfowl, fishes, reptiles, amphibians, mollusks and numerous insects. The local people largely depend also on these wetlands for their sustenance. But several threats, mainly anthropogenic, are gradually destroying these important ecosystems since the last decade.

Abstract:

Euryale ferox Salisb. is commercially very important plant as it possesses spiritual significance, potent medicinal properties and enhances socio-economical condition of the locality. In India, this plant is grown annually at large scale in 9 districts of North Bihar namely Madhubani, Darbhanga, Katihar, Sitamarhi, Purnea, Kishanganj, Araria, Saharsa and Supaul. However, its cultivation was started in 1998 in neighbouring district Maldah specifically in Harishchandrapur - II Block of Tal area by bringing seeds from Darbangha, Bihar on experimental basis with assistance of the State Government of West Bengal. By 2001, it spread from Harishchandrapur - II Block to Harishchandrapur - I Block followed by Chanchal - II Block in Tal area to Gajol Block in Barind area and to Diara area by 2012. The exponential spread of plant and adoption of cultivation practice in Maldah district has altered the actual agricultural practice of the district and creating ecological imbalances in water bodies resulted in loss of aquatic biodiversity and may lead to health hazard of the associated personnel though the popped makhana is on high pricing and demand. Thus, this article deals with different kinds of impacts and mitigation measures for restoration of water bodies, aquatic biodiversity and welfare of associated manpower for their better livelihood.

Abstract:

Some ripe mangoes were collected from the mango orchard located at Digha in Patna district, in Patna of Bihar. The pulp and peels of these mangoes were separated and they were lyophilized and stored at 20°C and thereafter they were analyzed separately for total phenolics in the pulp and the peels of these mangoes of Maldah Cultivar (principle). The total content of phenolics in the pulp and peels of the ripe Maldah mangoes were estimated using folin-ciocatten reagent at 75 nm in an UV-Vis Spectrophotometer using galic acid for expressing the standard curve and subsequently the total result was expressed as mg GAE (Galic Acid Equivalent/100g of fresh weight). Surprisingly the result shows the greater content of phenolics in peels in respect of the pulps.

Abstract:

The Siraha district of Nepal experiences surplus mango production during the season that ends up being wasted or sold at throw-away prices due to imperfect marketing. Thus, this survey research was conducted to investigate the market channels of mango, post-harvest mechanisms, constraints, marketing margins, market shares, consumer purchasing behaviors, and patterns of purchasing in Siraha.The research survey was done with thirty producers, five wholesalers, thirty-two retailers, and twenty-five consumers within the Golbazaar and Dhangadimai municipalities through a semi-structured questionnaire. Mango trading was dominated by males. It was revealed that the market demand for mango in Siraha was produced in Siraha itself(91.49%). The wholesalers supplied 30.66% of their mango to retailers, and 14.73% to consumers. Gulab Khas and Banaganapalli were the most imported varieties from India. Each variety of mango provided an almost equal margin, although Bombay was slightly higher than others. The market share was dominated by the Maldah variety as most of the farmers cultivated this variety.It was found that in addition to the varieties and arrival time, the distance to markets and farming practices were significant factors influencing the profitability of mango marketing. There is great potential to industrialize and substitute the Indian mango in the market through commercial production of mango, efficient storage, and post-harvest management, and in increasing the efficiency of the mango marketing system through subsidies and aids to the mango growing farmers from concerned stakeholders. A collaborative approach is required among all stakeholders for sustainable mango marketing and establishing it as an economic profession.

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:

Flood is one of the most popular natural hazards that create havoc in the society. Flood involves inundation of a huge tract of area under water owing to heavy rainfall. Occurrence of flood lays a severe impact upon the agricultural sector. Flood not only brings about destruction of crops but also brings down the productivity of the soil. Malda district of West Bengal is not an exception in this regard. The district is one of the most flood prone districts and involves a lot of loss in crop production. The present study aims to identify the flood susceptible zones of the district through the application of Analytical Hierarchy Process and geospatial techniques and also makes an attempt to detect how much cropland falls within the very high susceptible flood prone area so that proper precautionary measures can be taken to minimize the maximum damage. The study results reveal that the western part of the district is more flood prone and about 55.27% of very high flood prone area is dominated by croplands. Hence, proper flood management techniques have to be adopted in this area to reduce the loss of production of crops owing to floods.

Abstract:

It’s no exaggeration to say that floods are among the most common and catastrophic natural disasters, with widespread impacts on ecosystems and human lives. The World Bank has concluded that India is one of the most flood-prone countries in the world. This research has been focused on identification of real-time flood hazard area in the Malda district (India) using SAR data, Sentinel-1A (C-band). ArcGIS, Erdas-Imagine, and SNAP were used for this analysis. These inundation layers were intersected with the Malda district village’s database to determine the full extent of the devastation caused by the floods and finally determined the real-time flood-impacted area (380.19 km² on 4th September and 338.87 km² on 10th September, 2019). It was noted that on 4th September, 766 and 10th September 765 villages were seriously devastated owing to water. Moreover, among the 15 blocks of this district, Harischandrapur-II (75.67%), Manikchak (68.60%) and Kaliachak-III (68.00%) have experienced the most flooding. Finally, in order to estimate the overall population, households and affected by the floods, stratified random sampling was carried out in the flood-impacted villages of the Malda district. The safest blocks are Chanchal-I, Gazole, Harischandrapur-I and Kaliachak-I and the highly vulnerable blocks are Harischandrapur-II, Kaliachak-III and Manikchak. According to the flood influences on children, the most vulnerable blocks are Malda Old, English Bazar, Kaliyachak-III, and Harishchandrapur-II.

Abstract:

Many important varieties of field, horticultural and forestry species are conserved as Field Gene Banks (FGB). FGBs provide easy and ready access to conserved material for research as well as for use. Plant breeders are in need of a continuous supply of diverse and novel genetic diversity to produce new crop varieties able to cope with the impacts of changing cultivation conditions and climate change. FGB is one of the options of a complementary strategy for the conservation of germplasm of many plant species. Murshidabad and Malda, the once famous districts for Mango (Mangifera indica L.) diversity, districts of West Bengal are now facing tremendous genetic erosion of the mango germplasm. The Field gene bank will be an ex situ conservation approach. 25 (Twenty five) mango varieties were collected from Malda and Murshidabad districts and cuttings transferred to Gurudas College, Kolkata 700054 for conservation as Field Gene Bank. The mango germplasm accessions were collected with the assistance of the West Bengal Biodiversity Board (WBBB). Some of the valuable mango varieties viz. Bimli, Churmur, Dobani, Do Phala, Golap Bhog, Golap Khash, Molam Jam, collected from orchards of Malda and Murshidabad districts. As a field Gene Bank these varieties are readily accessible and useable for characterization and evaluation. These field gene banks will aid in documentation of the rich mango legacy of West Bengal and help in mango crop improvement.

Abstract:

Background The early period of a child’s life is considered to be the most important developmental stage throughout the lifespan. Around 250 million children of age below five years in low-and middle- income countries (LMICs) are at risk of not attaining their developmental potential. A cross-sectional case study was conducted to assess the early childhood developmental (ECD) status and to investigate the factors influencing the same in Malda, India. Methods Information on 731 pre-school children aged 36 to 59 months was collected in 2018 using a structured questionnaire following a multi-stage, stratified simple random sampling procedure. ECD was measured following the UNICEF’s Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, which monitors early child development in LMICs. A path analysis using structural equation modelling was carried out to examine the relationship between possible associated factors and ECD status. Results It has been found that only about 25% of children are developmentally on track of literacy-numeracy domain of ECD. Although, in the other domains, the situation is better. Results of the path analysis revealed that there are certain proximal factors, i.e., home environment, mother’s time for care, having home tuition and attending private pre-school, which are influenced by certain distal factors and subsequently affecting ECD. The total effects revealed that place of residence (urban or rural) affects ECD mostly (Coef. -0.87, p = <0.001) directly or via mothers’ time for stimulating activities, home environment and having home tuition for children. Further, it revealed that private pre-schools (Coef. 0.76, p = <0.001) and home tuition (Coef. 0.43, p = <0.001) also play a significant role in ECD. Conclusion Urgent attention from policymakers or other stakeholders is needed to promote ECD for the betterment of children and society of Malda district. In addition to that, special attention needs to be given to the children who belong to Muslim families, socially deprived communities and living in rural areas.

The study revealed that the degree of warming are more pronounced over two most rapidly developing towns of Jalpaiguri and Malda which may be attributed to rapid urbanization and infrastructure development taking place in the districts; the degree of warming observed over Malda being more pronounced than that over Jalpaiguri and it is the least over Balurghat. Also, the intensity of seasonal as well as annual cumulative rainfall over Balurghat is increasing more significantly; the increase in intensity being most significant during the pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons; the geographical location and orography of Balurghat, the least developed town, may be attributed to such an increase.

Abstract:

Introduction: Exclusive breast-feeding for first six months of life and semi-solid food after six months in addition to breast feeding is recommended as optimal feeding for infant and young children. There is dearth of data about infant feeding practices among mothers of Muslim Community. Objectives: To study infant feeding practices of Muslim mothers and identify feeding problems. Methods: A descriptive observational cross-sectional study was conducted on 280 infants in the rural area of Chanchal 2 block of Malda district of West Bengal. Results: Ninety one per cent mothers of infants below 6 months were currently breast feeding their babies, whereas only 76% were giving exclusive breast feeding. About Seventy-nine per cent infants above 6 months were on exclusively breastfed up to 6 months, 98% continuing breast feeding. Only 42% of children between 6-8 months started complementary feeding, which was raised to 96% among children of 9-11 months. Cause of discontinuation of EBF before six months was stated to be inadequate milk and mothersâ€™ ill health. Conclusion: Appropriate interventions are required to train grass-root level workers, involve family members & counsel mothers on infant & young child feeding.

Abstract:

In the area of study the quality and quantity of groundwater are below the normal standards. In this study spatial statistical methods have been used to demarcate highly polluted zones. Especially fluoride concentrated areas in Nalgonda district. Water quality, especially excess of fluoride concentration in groundwater, is a major concern in the study area. Levels of fluoride in groundwater are considerably greater than the permissible limit especially in Nalgonda district which is known for endemic fluorosis, which is caused by intake of high fluoride water is a slow, progressively, crippling malady affecting young and old, poor and rich, rural and urban population. The area under investigation lies in between the longitude 790 0'-79o 30' E and latitude 16o 45'-17o 15' N. In as many as 1122 habitations in Ranga Reddy and Nalgonda districts, fluorosis is prevalent and they have fluoride content in excess of 1.5 mg/l drinking water. One such area where fluoride contamination in groundwater has been known for several years in parts of Nalgonda district of Telangana state. In this district, several thousands of people in various villages are suffering with advanced fluorosis. A number of studies carried out earlier established the extent of fluoride contamination in different villages. However, no attempt was made to study the spatial distribution of various quality parameters including fluoride in the groundwater of this area. With this background this investigation is planned and undertaken. The spatial variability of groundwater G.I.S techniques were presented. The fluoride variation with reference to other quality parameters was brought out. An attempt is being made to summarise and understand the factors that control the groundwater quality variation in the area of study. A detailed study on fluoride occurrence is taken up, mainly to see its relationship with various other parameters and the influence of hydrogeology and lineament pattern on fluoride occurrence.

Abstract:

River bank erosion is a hazardous and common phenomenon in diara region near Malda district of North East India during monsoon and post-monsoon periods of every year. One of the significant causes behind the erosion is the textural composition and its arrangement along the river bank. The left bank of Ganga River is texturally very weak along diara region of Malda district. In the present study, the nature of riverbank soil textural composition has been measured by basis parameters analysis and mechanical analysis of soil and its erodibility level. Sieve analysis has been done on all collected soil samples and determines soil basic parameters. The nature of the soil has been derived through the mechanical analysis of particles after Folk and Worst method. Besides that, the degree of soil erodibility has been analyzed through the Bouyoucos Erodibility Index and ROM scale after Roslan and Mazidah. The results show that the erodibility levels become high to the moderate condition along the middle to lower extension of left bank line and relatively low along with upper extension according to ROM scale. Nature of soil along the left bank is dominantly sandy which also indicates the vulnerable condition of bank sites. Basic parameters of soil and its mechanical analysis also reveals that unstable condition exists along with the whole extension of the riverbank line but instability condition is increasing from upper to lower segment of bank line. So the risk of riverbank failure can be measured by determining the textural composition of the soil.

Abstract:

Background: Lymphatic filariasis, commonly known as elephantiasis, is a neglected tropical disease. Evaluation of mass drug administration (MDA) is done internally by the health authorities and externally by independent agencies. This paper reports the findings of evaluation of MDA conducted in Malda district of West Bengal state in May-June 2015. Objectives: To assess the Coverage & Compliance rates of MDA against lymphatic filariasis and to study the factors influencing non-coverage and non-compliance in Malda district. Materials & Methods: A Community based cross-sectional study was conducted in three selected rural blocks and one municipality. Family was the unit of sampling in the current MDA coverage survey. 30 families in each of four clusters were taken as samples. Cluster sampling technique was adopted. The data was collected in a pre-designed semi-structured proforma from 120 households. Results: 564 eligible population 120 families were studied and 50.53% of them were males. Predominant respondents were male (92%) with average age 40.7 years. The Diethylcarbamazine citrate plus Albendazole coverage rate was 95% and the compliance rate was 71.6%. The major reason for nonâ€“compliance was due to fear of side effects amounting to 58%. Only 4 persons reported adverse effects after drug consumption. Conclusion: Though distribution was high, many people were not consuming drugs. Consumption was not properly supervised and there was misconception prevailed among workers about time of consumption. A high level of motivation and commitment from the drug distributors with adequate training is required for ensuring a high coverage and compliance rates. Supervision should be strengthened to improve consumption and misconception should be eliminated through training.

Abstract:

Introduction: Under-nutrition is highly prevalent in developing countries including India. Many risk factors are responsible for the occurrence of under-nutrition. To understand area specific causes (risk factors) responsible for under-nutrition among under-five children in Malda town, a case control study was undertaken. Methods: Forty two cases with under-nutrition (weight for age <-2SD) and 84 controls with normal weight (weight for age â‰¥ -2SD were selected from 6 ICDS centres in 1:2 ratio. Results: Of the selected cases, 22(52.4%) were moderately underweight and 20 (47.6%) were severely underweight; 57% were male & 43% were female children. 55% Mothers of severely underweight children were illiterate whereas 65% fathers of severely under-weight children were labourer. From bivariate analysis it was reflected that no statistical differences were there between underweight & normal weight children with respect to variables like family size, per capita family income, Maternal age at child birth, birth weight, breast feeding & its duration, diarrhoea and worm infestation(p>.05). Factors like fathersâ€™ occupation, ARI (38.1% vs17.8%), feeding problems (65% vs. 40.5%), incomplete vaccination (73.8% vs39.3%) were associated with under-nutrition (P<.01). Undernourished children showed statistical association with angular stomatitis, conjunctival xerosis, bilateral oedema & severe wasting compared to normal nourished children. (p<.01). Conclusion: Factors like fathersâ€™ occupation, ARI, feeding problems, incomplete vaccination were associated with under-nutrition of under-fives attending ICDS centres in an urban setting of Malda district, West Bengal.

Abstract:

Chronic arsenic toxicity (arsenicosis) as a result of drinking arsenic-contaminated groundwater is a major environmental health hazard throughout the world, including India. During the last four decades arsenic contamination of groundwater in nine districts out of twenty in West Bengal has become a serious problem. About 20% population of West Bengal in nine districts (Malda, Murshidabad, Nadia, North 24- Parganas, and South 24-Parganas, Kolkata, Howrah, Hooghly and Burdwan) are affected by arsenic problem. To prevent this harmful effect, every people need to have proper knowledge and positive attitude towards arsenic. In this study, the researcher constructed a standardized tool of knowledge and attitude towards arsenic to assess the knowledge and attitude level of arsenic among the people of arsenic contaminated area. The researcher took item analysis method to assess the quality of the items of every section. Then the tools were measured the reliability by the Pearson’s product moment correlation method. Primarily two self-administered tools of 39 knowledge items and 32 attitude items regarding arsenic was applied among the people of Nadia district of West Bengal. Therefore, the researcher analyzed the collecting data and eliminated the poor items on the basis of difficulty value and discrimination index. After elimination of distracting items, 25 items in knowledge section and 25 items in the attitude section were retained as a final form of tool regarding arsenic. Thereafter the final form of tools applied among 60 general people to calculate the reliability of the tools by test-retest reliability method. The researcher found significant reliability in knowledge and attitude tools. These standard tools can assess the knowledge and attitude level regarding arsenic among the people of arsenic contamination area with accuracy.

Abstract:

The present study was conducted in some randomly selected area of Malda and South Dinajpur district of West Bengal to find out the level of fluoride in groundwater and its association with other inorganic constituents through statistical modeling and chemical indices. Results revealed that the considerable variation of different parameters, among them 7.90 % sample showed F- levels beyond the WHO recommended value. Moreover, F- shows positive correlation with Na+ (p< 0.467*) and negative correlation with Ca2+ (p< -0.289) which is again well supported by factor analysis study. From the results of Multiple linear regression model and piper diagram revealed the significant relationship of F- with Na+, alkaline pH and Ca2+ and dominancy of F- due to high Na-HCO3 enrichment respectively. The higher level of F- in groundwater is the consequence of fluoride containing sedimentary rock weathering.
