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:

Work is defined as participation in any economically productive activity with or without compensation, wages or profit. Such participation may be physical and/or mental. Work involves not only actual work but also includes effective supervision and direction of work. Work Participation Rate shows the proportion of working population to total population in an area and is computed as the percentage of total workers (main and marginal) to the total population. The social and economic development of any region is greatly influenced by the number of economically active persons, their quality and the regularity of the work. In this respect, work participation rates are very useful to understand the level of economic development of a region as it differs from the stages of economic development. This paper attempts to study the Work Participation Rate among different categories of workers in Uttar Dinajpur district. It is one of the country's 250 most backward districts and more than two-thirds of its active workforce still draws livelihood directly from agriculture and related occupations. The present study is census data based. From the result, it can be observed that the work participation rate is a little high in Raiganj Sub-division than in the Islampur Sub-division. Although the work participation rates of men are much higher than those for women in both rural and urban areas women's work participation in the district has risen at a faster rate than that of men.

Abstract:

Education is the most powerful instrument to change the society. The welfare and economic progress of a country depends on the quality of education because education refers to the development of human skill and knowledge of the people or labor force and education is called human capital. Different education policies during the post independent period focused primarily to improve the enrolment in the primary school in India. In order to access all children up to 14 years of age the different National Education Policies gave priority to universialization of elementary education program on different times and many initiatives like Operation Black Board, Mid-day Meal, Sarvashiksha Abhijan (SSA) and Right to Education Act. Uttar Dinajpur district is not an exception. Literacy and education of the district shows dismal picture and according to census report 2011the district has the lowest rank in the state. The district is an economically and educationally back ward district. The present paper is an attempt to study the enrolment trend at the elementary level in the government school and private schools in Uttar Dinajpur during the period 2012-13 to 2016-17 and enquiry into the problems relating to the learning outcomes of the children at the elementary level in government schools of the district. The empirical findings point out many problems such as poor academic performances of the students, wastage of teaching time on mid-day meal related works, irregular attendance of the teachers in the school, teacher-guardian meet, guardians choice regarding admission of their children , lack of parents awareness and use of mobile phone in the class room.

Abstract:

Jute is an important crop that contributes a pivotal role in the economy and supports the livelihoods of the farmers of the Northern part of West Bengal. However, farmers in the region are gradually shifting away from traditional jute cultivation to adopting maize as their preference and the study investigated the factors influencing transformation. Responses were collected from 60 farmers of Chopra Block using a structured interview schedule during the peak season of maize cultivation in 2019. Principal Component Analysis was used to extract significant factors explaining the motives behind farmers’ preference for maize over jute crops. The study envisages that the factors including lack of capital, remunerative market price, high labor costs, poor soil quality and inadequate irrigation water, unavailability of improved seed varieties, high input costs, and inadequate market facilities are the key factors for discouragement of cultivation of jute. The government should develop some supportive infrastructure like providing high-quality maize seeds, conducting awareness programs to educate the farmers about the benefits and byproducts of maize, and offering knowledge about export and import markets. Capacity building and extension approaches can aid the transition and foster positive contributions to the agricultural sector of the locality.

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:

Background: Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a flavivirus related to dengue, yellow fever and West Nile viruses, and is spread by mosquitoes. JEV is the main cause of viral encephalitis in many countries of Asia with an estimated 68000 clinical cases every year. Although symptomatic Japanese encephalitis (JE) is rare, the case-fatality rate among those with encephalitis can be as high as 30%. Permanent neurologic or psychiatric sequelae can occur in 30-50% of those with encephalitis. This study was conducted to find the incidence of JEV IgM in patients presenting with acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) in Raiganj govt. medical college and hospital, Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal, India.Methods: Blood and CSF samples were collected from patients presenting with AES. IgM antibody capture ELISA was performed on the CSF and serum samples by JE virus MAC ELISA kit.Results: The overall prevalence of JEV IgM was 13.8%. Among the positive cases male comprised of 71.4% and female 28.5%. The most common age group affected was above 16 years of age. JEV prevalence was present throughout the year with high number of cases between the monsoon and post monsoon seasons.Conclusions: This study demonstrates the endemicity of JEV in Uttar Dinajpur district of West Bengal, India. As most of the JE cases are asymptomatic strengthening the existing surveillance system is required to find out the actual scenario of JEV in West Bengal. Control of vectors, early diagnosis and treatment, vaccinations are the key to decrease the morbidity and mortality caused by JEV.

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:

Education is a man-making process that nurtures an individual’s fullest development. In this sense, education is referred to as developing the intellect, essential thinking abilities, social and intellectual understanding, and acceptance of one’s self (Basics in Education, NCERT, 2014). The role of education should not cease at imparting learning and skills. It should further aim to empower a future citizen to perform expected roles and challenges with higher-order quality and perfection. Every country develops its system of education to express and promote its unique socio-cultural identity and also meet the challenges of times. According to UNESCO (1996), quality education must be supported by the four pillars of learning: learning to know, learning to do, learning to be, and learning to live together. They are still unable to avail their right to education as a fundamental right due to lack of awareness, economic provision, guidance, government support, etc. The male literacy rate is 65.52 per cent and the female literacy rate is 52.17 per cent in the district (Census of India, 2011). In this present paper, an attempt has been made to identify the education scenario and explain its basic index of the district by Principal Component Analysis Index (PCAI).

Abstract:

Background: In a tropical country like India, malaria is a major vector borne disease ranging from highly urbanised to deep rural areas. Though lots of health activities are going on against it in urban areas it is difficult to penetrate the deep rural areas particularly the tribal based interior villages because of lack of initiative, huge illiteracy, gross poverty and language problems. Therefore, a study was ventured in a rural community in North Dinajpur district of West Bengal, India occupied by members of scheduled tribe called 'Bedia' whose mother tongue is a tribal language called 'Nagori'- to understand their knowledge and perceptions about malaria so that future actions can be taken to uplift their health status and awareness particularly in relation to malaria.Methods: Present study have conducted three focus group discussions (FGDs), one with male participants, one with females and the third one involving both the sexes. There were 9-11 participants per FGD and total of 28 participants were included in the study.Results: The transcripts were at first coded and then categories were framed. Total six categories, which are: perceived causes of malaria, perceived features of malaria, mode of spread, treatment, difficulties and modes of prevention. After the content analysis of the transcripts conclusion was drawn.Conclusions: Through our field work and the focus group discussions on the Bedia tribes we understood several misconceptions and lack of awareness of the tribal community about malaria. However, it was possible to create awareness and confidence among them that they could take all preventive measures and positive approaches towards malaria.

Abstract:

The river Kulik is an internationally important river between India and Bangladesh. Till date, no work has been done to understand the physico-chemical characteristics as well as the pollution status of the river Kulik at the Raiganj and Hemtabad blocks in the Uttar Dinajpur district, West Bengal, India. The goal of this investigation was to analyse different physico-chemical parameters to understand the present level of pollution in the river Kulik for two years, from November 2019 until October 2021. The investigation was carried out on a monthly basis at five selected sampling sites along the river Kulik. Different physico-chemical parameters were analysed following the methods of APHA, 2017. The pH varied from 5.90 to 7.86, which indicates the slightly acidic to slightly alkaline nature of the water. The lowest dissolved oxygen (DO) value recorded at site 5 (1.60 mgL-1) during the winter season of the first year may have been caused by excessive fertilizer application in agricultural fields close to the river Kulik. The abrupt rise in DO levels from March 2020 to June 2020 at every site might be due to the lesser anthropogenic activities during the lockdown in India because of the COVID-19 Pandemic situation. The highest BOD was found in April 2020 at Site 5, which crossed the limits of the CPCB standard set for drinking and bathing. Public awareness is crucial for river pollution control and revival; further study is needed to understand water quality and productivity.

Abstract:

In a comprehensive study spanning January 2019 to April 2023 within the state of West Bengal, the research focused on elucidatingthe taxonomy and conservation status of swamp eels in the state. Swamp eels were harvested using traditional fishing techniques, andsampling sites were randomly selected across nine districts: Cooch Behar, Alipurduar, Jalpaiguri, Uttar Dinajpur, Purba Bardhaman, Nadia, Purba Medinipore, North 24 Parganas, and South 24 Parganas, accounting for variations in climatic zones and topography. Through meticulous examination involving X-ray radiographs and morphometric measurements, two distinct swamp eel species, Ophichthys cuchia (Hamilton, 1822) and Ophisternon bengalense McClelland, 1844, were identified, both falling under the ‘Least Concern’ category according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Rapid population decline of swamp eels in West Bengal is primarily attributed to habitat degradation and the indiscriminate use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers.

Abstract:

The study was conducted in the Uttar Dinajpur district of West Bengal with the objective of assessing the extent of adoption behavior among farmers towards improved pineapple production practices. A purposive sampling technique was employed, and a total of 120 respondents were selected from seven villages within the Chopra block. Data was collected using a pre-tested schedule and analyzed using appropriate statistical tools and techniques. The findings of the study revealed that the majority of respondents (65.00%) fell within the middle age range. In terms of adoption, about pineapple production technology, 50.83 percent of the respondents had a medium level of adoption, followed by 26.67 percent with low level of adoption and 22.50 percent with high level of adoption. The study also established positive and significant relationships between the independent variables, such as age, educational qualification, annual income, extension contact, mass media exposure, scientific orientation, and risk orientation, and the adoption behavior of farmers. Overall, the study provides valuable insights into the adoption behavior of farmers in the study area and highlights the importance of various factors in influencing their level of adoption of improved pineapple production practices.

Abstract:

The paper attempts to analyze the praxis of women empowerment and womens political participation of some Gram Panchayats in Uttar Dinajpur rural areas. In present times, the empowerment of women has become one of the most important concerns of the 21st century because of their right to participate in political processes which also impact their family and in turn the society. Many countries are attempting to increase womens political participation and leadership in civil society and now political parties want more women to join in political activities. Women around the world are still largely absent from national and local decision-making procedures. Globally about 20% of women participate in political activities, for women it is very difficult to participate in the civic and political life of their countries due to lack of support and gender discrimination. Strengthening womens rights and addressing obstacles to political participation are critical to achieving gender justice, equality, and women empowerment.

Abstract:

This study involves the assessment of physicochemical and microbiological parameters evaluated from nine sites along the stretch of the Kulik river for one year (during January–December 2020), in and around the town of Raiganj in Uttar Dinajpur district of West Bengal, India. The study was carried out to determine whether the river water can be used for drinking, domestic or household and recreation purposes. The parameters such as water temperature, pH, free carbon dioxide, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity, total hardness, chlorides and total coliform count were analyzed using standard protocols. Significant differences were observed in the parameters both temporally and spatially. Total coliform count indicated the river water has high faecal contamination. The present study depicts the quality of the river and indicates that the water is non-potable. The result implies that the river needs continuous monitoring and treatment to maintain its aesthetic and hygienic value and to ensure its conservation for the future generation.

The present study mainly considered primarydata for analysis and a small amount of secondary data was also collected from records ofConfederation of Indian Small Tea Growers’ Association (CISTA) and Self-Help Group(SHG) registers. It has been found that there is a variation in price of green leaves in bothdistricts and higher rates are observed in the month of March. SHGs with own processingunits were found to fetch higher prices compared to other units because of their collectivebargaining power, absence of middlemen and owing co-operative processing units. Numberof such SHGs, with processing units were found in Jalpaiguri district whereas, UttarDinajpur district recorded no SHG with own processing units. The economic analysis alsopresented a clear picture about fixed and operational cost, gross return with or withoutdividend and benefit cost ratio.

Abstract:

Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) is the number of students enrolled in a given level of education, expressed as a percentage of the official age group of the population corresponding to the same level of education. In the state of West Bengal, GER in higher education for the age group 18 -23 years is 18.7%, which is far below the national average of 25.8% for 2017-2018. There is a large variation in GER across different districts and among male and female. An effort has been made through this paper to study the spatio temporal variation in GER among the districts of West Bengal. To study the gender disparity in GER in the districts of West Bengal Gender Parity Index (GPI) is calculated. Among the districts of West Bengal, Kolkata has recorded highest GER in higher education in all the years and Uttar Dinajpur has recorded the lowest GER throughout the years (2012 to 2018). GPI in gross enrolment in greater than unity in 14 out of 19 districts of the state.

Abstract:

In the present study, different root colonizing fungal isolates were isolated from the rhizospheric soil of maize growing areas of Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal. All the isolates including test pathogen were identified from Indian Type Culture Collection, New Delhi. Plant growth promoting maize root colonizing fungal isolates- Penicillium pinophilum (ITC NO. 11,201.19), Trichoderma harzianum (ITC NO.11,203.19), Trichoderma asperellum (ITC NO. 11,209.19), Aspergillus niger (ITC NO. 11,204.19) and Penicillum purpurogenum (ITC NO. 11,207.19) exhibited antagonistic activities against F. moniliforme (ITC NO. 11,208.19) in vitro. Two antagonistic isolates of T. harzianum and eleven strains of T. asperellum showed antibiosis mechanism for antagonism against F. moniliforme with the range of Percent Inhibition of Radial Growth from 62.41% to 88.57%. Competitive mode of antagonism against test pathogen by the isolates of P. pinophilum, P. purpurogenum and six isolates of A. niger were found. Percent of inhibition of radial growth ranged from 57.14% to 91.42%. In our finding, antagonistic isolates especially Trichoderma harzianum (ITC NO. 11,203.19), Trichoderma asperellum (ITC NO. 11,209.19) strains either single or in combination with rest maize root colonizing strains could be used as potent growth promoters as well as biocontrol (BCA) agents.

Abstract:

The ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic brought certain circumstances which were never witnessed at such a scale. The response to this Pandemic was with strategically choreographed convergent action across different levels of both the government sector and non-government sector. This paper examines and documents the experiences of field functionaries like Anganwadi Workers, ASHA workers and Field Functionaries of State Rural Livelihood Mission during this Pandemic. This paper is based on Qualitative Research conducted with the tool of Narrative Analysis where the experiences of respondents from Fatehabad District, Birbhum, and Uttar Dinajpur Districts in West Bengal were documented. The sampling process done to select specific respondents was done purposively (purposive sampling). Anganwadi Workers and ASHA Workers under usual circumstances do practice convergent action among themselves but during the process of institutional quarantine in rural settings, the inter-departmental convergence was evident because field functionaries of various in-line departments have proven to be a significant success. Moreover, the service-delivery component under different schemes has been modified relatively. SHG Groups which has been primarily viewed concerning micro-finance or credit has played a role in multiple domains with service delivery, market production. Convergence has been a contemporary highlighted concern in social work and development practice.

Abstract:

Tomato is a solanaceous crop and one of the most economically important vegetables in the world. India ranks second in total production of tomato in the world. It has been referred to as a “functional food”, a food that goes beyond providing just basic nutrient. To LCD is one of the major constraints to tomato production in India. To study the disease incidence of tomato, a survey was made in the tomato crop growing fields of Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, Coochbehar and Uttar Dinajpur districts of sub-Himalayan West Bengal during December 2015 to February 2016 and several infected and healthy leaf samples were collected based on the morphological symptoms like-vein cleaning, leaf curling, leaf deformations and stunted growth of plants. Disease incidence ranged from 70% to 86.66% of the collected samples from different districts. All the samples collected from the present study area were tested by PCR with DengA and DengB primer and expected amplicon of ̴ 530bp was found. Two randomly selected PCR positive samples were sequence and analyzed (Acc. Nos KX108859 and KX108860). The SLG-1 isolate (Acc. No. KX108859) showed 95 % nt identity with ToLCKV (Acc. No. KP178730) and the ISL-1 isolate (Acc. No. KX108860) showed 96% nt identity with ToLCNDV (Acc. No. KC513822). The threat of begomoviral spread to the north-eastern part of India has been taken into consideration.

Abstract:

The distribution of the higher educational institutions to a great deal affects the access and enrolment of the surrounding population to higher education, whether urban-centric or rural- centric. On the other hand, the concentration gives a picture of the undersupply or oversupply of Higher Educational Institutes of a place. There exist regional inequalities in the development of Higher Educational Institutes of West Bengal which in the long run may come as a blow to the idea of knowledge centric development and detrimental to the once legacy of the state having been the precursor of modern day higher educational institutions. The number of colleges in West Bengal is 1371, with a college density of 13 colleges per lakh population and 25 universities. The paper analyses the spatial distribution and concentration of the Higher Educational institutes with various other indicators and how these indicators together give a specific development pattern to the districts. Accordingly, Kolkata has the highest development pattern and Uttar Dinajpur the lowest. It is also seen that despite the levels of development, the districts still have prospects of growth either in number of institutes or students based of the Average Size of the institutes. The paper is totally based on secondary data from the Census of India, All India Survey on Higher Education Reports and University Directory, University Grants Commission.

Abstract:

Background: Despite being one of the most easily available and reversible methods of family planning, IUD utilization continue to remain low, as evident in the nationwide surveys. One of the reasons was poor knowledge and skills on IUD provision among health care providers. This study examined factors related to providers, by examining their IUD-related knowledge, and their attitudes toward recommending or inserting the IUD.Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among 503 ANMs from Uttar Dinajpur and Darjeeling Districts using a semi-structured questionnaire exploring the service providers’ knowledge, current practices and experience with IUD insertion. Attitudes regarding IUDs were assessed by asking how much they agreed with a number of hypothetical statements about the IUD.Results: The proportion of good knowledge and favourable attitude was 57.5% and 60% respectively. The knowledge was found to be significantly higher among ANMs aged less than 30 years and who had graduate education than their counterparts. Better knowledge and favourable attitude was found among the ANMs posted in Darjeeling and had service experience of more than 5 years.Conclusions: The knowledge and attitude of the ANMs were found to be less than satisfactory. Addressing IUDs and other newer contraceptives in pre-service curriculum, within job training and peer group education in both public and private areas may help the situation.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Extent of suppression of paddy yellow stem borer population by eleven selected pesticide formulations (9 biopesticide + 2 synthetic pesticide) was studied in the field of paddy cultivar Swarna mashuri (MTU 7029) during three consecutive kharif crop seasons of 2007-2009 at Raiganj, Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal, India. Experiment was done following complete randomized block design and had three replications for each year. All treatments were significantly effective in checking stem borer infestation causing the decrease of both dead heart (DH) and white head (WH) number. Numerically, least damage was noted for monocrotophos 36 WSC. This was followed by carbofuran 3G, nimbecidine - 2.5%, neem seed kernel extract (NSKE) - 5%, B. thuringiensis-2ml/L, neem leaf extract (NLE)- 2%, neem oil-2%, karanja seed kernel extract (KSKE)-5%, mahua oil-2%, Vitex negundo extract in ascending order. The control plot has registered maximum DH and WH. In consideration of yield increase over control, maximum efficacy was registered for monocrotophos respectively followed by carbofuran, nimbecidine, B.thuringiensis ,NSKE ,NLE, mahua oil, neem oil, KSKE, V. negundo and plant mixture in descending order. Significant differences in the number of effective tillers/m2, panicle/m2 leaf area index and dry matter production/ m2 in consideration of different treatment formulation was noted. But plant height, panicle length, and 1000 seed grain weight differed insignificantly.

Abstract:

The present study aims to identify and measure the impact of climate change on rainfall patterns in the Uttar Dinajpur district of West Bengal. The hydro-meteorological time series rainfall data was collected from the IMD and CHRS data portals and subsequently analysed using various statistical methods. Agriculture in this district is the main economic activity, but the rainfall propensity is very unpredictable and sporadic that has a significant impact on agriculture. The rainfall results (1901-2019) were examined and assessed using statistical techniques for Mann-Kendall’s Z-statistic and Sen’s slope estimators. From the estimation, it is understood that the pre-monsoon, monsoon, and winter seasons have positive trends in rainfall, whereas the post-monsoon rainfall shows a negative trend and both Mann-Kendall and Sen’s slope projections depict the same. Likewise, January, February, April, May, June, July, August, and December reflect upward positive change, while a downward trend (decline trend) was recorded in March, September, and October. The winter Kharif crops are more impacted by this negative or decreasing pattern of seasonal rainfall than other crops. The maximum average monthly rainfall in July (892.1 mm) and January showed the lowest average monthly rainfall of 63.3 mm. The results revealed that during the monsoon season the maximum rainfall (75.2%) occurred and the coefficient of variance value is 20.4%. In the winter season, the minimal rainfall (2.87%) with a coefficient of variance (CV) is 72.9%. The rainfall forecast using SMOreg and linear regression methods has been calculated. This research contributes greatly to adopting different strategies by the planners, researchers, numerous government institutions, and NGOs for the overall development of the study area. This study may also be effective in the management of water resources in the study region.

Abstract:

In recent years women empowerment has become a significant issue among academicians, social workers, and policy decision-makers in India. After the successful establishment of the Panchayat system as well as reservations for women in the local bodies, there has been a tremendous change in the number of women representatives in PRIs. But women empowerment is not an easy process rather, that needs a change in the mindset of the patriarchal society, social institutions, and far more determined effort on the part of the women representatives. Sometimes it becomes difficult to serve political duties for the women representatives in this present situation where there is a lack of proper knowledge, lack of education, lots of dependencies, family influence, and so on. In this light, the present study is an attempt to examine the socio-economic conditions and experiences of the elected women representatives of Gram Panchayats of Raiganj and Islampur Blocks and their participation in different sectors of grassroots politics. The whole study is based on empirical data which have been collected through field survey.

Abstract:

Banana is (Musa sp) one of the most exoteric and materialistic fruit crop of many tropical and subtropical areas in India. Banana leaf diseases, caused by several fungal pathogens are one of the major diseases. Among the fungi causing banana leaf diseases, Curvularia sp/C. lunata is one of the main causal organisms causing leaf spot disease in banana plant. Two fungal isolates- MUSLF-2, MUSLF-3 and one fungal isolate- MUSLF-1 were isolated from the infected leaf from Ramganj and Gotgaon locations. Based on light microscopic and scanning electron microscopic studies, MUSLF-2 and MUSLF-3 were identified as Curvularia sp. After Koch’s postulate, three fungal isolates- MUSLF-2, MUSLF-3 [Curvularia sp] and MUSLF-1 were applied in banana field along with foliar spray of spore suspensions. The symptoms were similar to those observed in the in vitro detached leaf inoculation technique. The present research work depicts about the severity of leaf spot diseases of Musa paradisiaca and the nature of mode of infections exhibited by the fungal pathogens.

Abstract:

The crops were cultivated in three distinct seasons of the Kaliyaganj C.D. Block in West Bengal. Present study was conducted on seven major crops (aman rice, boro rice, jute, maize, wheat, mustard and lentil) of the study area. The study was conducted during 2019 to 2020 cropping seasons. The objectives were to find out the impact of chemical fertilizer, organic fertilizer and pesticide use on yield and productivity of these crops. The correlation and regression analysis were used to access the impact of three intermediate inputs (chemical fertilizer, organic fertilizer and pesticide) on the crop productivity. Student ‘t’ test was used for testing the significance of the correlation. The study was also undertaken to work out the relative economics of the crops by analyzing the input and output costs. For this above purpose, the input and output data were collected from 120 sample plots (within 18 villages) of the study area. After all, the results suggested a clear role of fertilizer and pesticide use on the crop productivity and showed the impact of pest attack on the crops.

The experimental work was carried out during the rabi seasons (November to February) of the year 2018 and 2019 at Instructional field of RRS (OAZ), Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Majhian, Dakshin Dinajpur, West Bengal, India to study the growth and yield performance of different varieties from toria, rapeseed and Indian mustard with three different spacing combinations under System of Mustard Intensification (SMI) technology. The seedlings were raised in micro-pots (2×2.5 cm2 size) and transplanted in the main plot. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized block design replicated thrice. The treatments consisted of three levels of plant spacing (25×25 cm2, 45×45 cm2, 60×60 cm2) and included 3 varieties one each from toria, rapeseed and Indian mustard group. Among different treatment combinations, variety Bhagirathi (from Indian mustard group), in combination with spacing of 60×60 cm2 (S3V3) was recorded with highest yield (1348.08 kg ha-1) followed by its rest of the combinations with 25×25 cm2 (1331.42 kg ha-1) and 45cm×45 cm (1320.67 kg ha-1), i.e. S1V3 and S2V3, respectively. Plant height (cm) was also recorded highest with S3V3 treatment followed by S2V3 and S1V3. Total chlorophyll (mg 100 g-1) content was recorded highest with the same Bhagirathi variety S1V3 treatment (18.99) followed by S2V3 (17.45) and S3V3 (17.61). Amongst the yield attributing characters, number of secondary branches, number of siliqua plant-1 and total chlorophyll content were recorded highest with the Bhagirathi variety from the Indian mustard group with the spacing of 60×60 cm2 (S3V3).

Abstract:

Parenting a child with disability, whether a child has a physical disability, a learning disability, an emotional difficulty, or a developmental disorder, can require the development of particular skills, such as caregiving or advocacy, as well as a time and energy commitment that may put careers, marriages, and relationships with other children in danger. Researchers have extensively researched parenting over the years. But, in recent years, it has been noticed that this parenting study has placed a greater emphasis on constructive methods. The present study aimed to understand and assess the needs of parents who have children with Intellectual and Developmental Disability. The main objective of the study is to assess the needs of parents having children with Intellectual and Developmental Disability. Twenty parents (both mother and father) were included in the study as sample from Shishumangal child development centre in Raiganj, Uttar Dinajpur district. The assessment was done by using NIMH-Family Needs Schedule (Parents) to measure needs of the parents. In the present study data were collected by Descriptive Survey method. The collected data were analysed by descriptive statistics and percentage count. The result of the study indicated that the majority of parents showed strong needs in the domain of information condition, child management, services available for their child, Govt benefits and legislation, financial needs, vocational planning, personal-emotional and personal-social relationships. Parents showed less expected needs towards the sexuality, marriage and hostel related information. Mothers showed more needs in the domain of child management and information condition; while fathers expressed needs in the domain of financial help, vocational planning and Govt benefits. This study contributes to a better understanding of parents' needs from their perspectives, as well as their descriptions of the strengths and gaps of the present system. A deeper comprehension of parents' demands could help communities execute government policies and service models more effectively and provide financial assistance to families with poor socioeconomic status.

Abstract:

Agricultural Labourers from the poorest section of the rural population in India as well as in West Bengal. In numerical terms, they constitute about one-fourth of the total work force. Their number has been rising faster than the rate of growth of rural population. By the term agricultural labourers we mean a person who sells his/her labour power to work to another person’s land for wages in money, kind or a share of the crop. According to the 1991 Census definition, “a person who works on another person’s land for wages – in money, kind or share of crop is regarded as an agricultural labourer. He or she has no risk in cultivation, but merely works on another person’s land for wages. An agricultural labourer has no right of lease or contract on the land on which he or she works”. (Census of India, 1991, paper – III of 1991, p. 6).Thus the Census definition clearly excludes tenants as well as marginal farmers and includes only landless labourers. The definition adopted by us would be broader in the sense that it would include all those for whom sale of labour power in the agricultural sector is a source of livelihood.At the dawn of independence, the economy of West Bengal was characterized not only by a high percentage of landless agricultural labourers in its rural work force but also by a sizeable class of marginal holding peasants. This paper tries to inquire in some detail the causes of the high rate of growth of agricultural labourers in West Bengal as well in the district of Uttar Dinajpur..

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:

Crop yield forecasting under the present climate change scenario needs an effective model and its parameter that how crop respond to the weather variable. A number of weather based models have been developed to estimate the crop yield for the various crops at block, district and state level. Among the different model statistical model is more popular and commonly used. The current study was undertaken to evaluate the performance of statistical model for rice and jute yield forecast of four different district viz. Cooch Behar, Jalpaiguri, Uttar Dinajpurand and Dakhin Dinajpur. Among the four districts Cooch Behar district found superior for kharif rice yield prediction (1.46% error with RMSE 177.68 kg/ha) whereas in case of jute crop its performance was the best in the Jalpaiguri district (-0.44% error with RMSE 217.50 kg/ha).

Abstract:

The Net Sown Area (NSA) represents the total cultivated area during the reference year without considering the number of times it has been cultivated in a year (Agricultural Census Division). Area sown more than once in the same year is counted only once. Irrigation is a basic facility for the crop production. Normally there is a deviation between Net Sown Area and Irrigated area that means any area having higher net sown area may be deficit by the irrigation facility. The regional disparity in distribution of net sown area as well as the irrigation facility is a common phenomenon though the relation normally positively proportional. The magnitude of relation varies over the time and space. In the study area the disparity has been found both in the NSA and irrigation facility among the 126 villages. Quantitative analysis has been applied to analyse the disparity in the two variables separately and jointly too. Firstly, univariate analysis has been done to analyse the individual deviation and then to understand the joint effect of the considered variable, bivariate analysis has been conducted. Fourth quadrant plotting of Z-score of NSA and Irrigated Area may be helpful to detect the villages which are lagging behind by the distribution of NSA or by irrigation facility. Quadrant analysis is also beneficial to detect the regional disparity raised by the considered two variables which in term adjuvant to draw planning proposal at village level. To reduce the regional disparities proper planning proposals are required. Identification of villages lagged behind by getting irrigation facility are required first to be facilitated by irrigation facility. Next to find out the villages having sufficient net sown area but the potentiality to expand the net sown area is required to identify. The present methodology may help to find out both types of villages which are needed attention for irrigation and net sown area to reduce the small scale i.e. village level regional disparity. The Present study is confined on Nagar-Kulik Interfluve of Uttar Dinajpur District. Therefore, this paper has taken as an attempt to identify the problems of the NSA of the Interfluve and also to give some suggestions
