Litter production patter in Eucalyptus tereticornis plantation of age 15 years has studied in protected and unprotected plots in upper Gangetic plain for a period of one year. A total of 7287.40 kg ha-1 oflitter was produced of which leaflitter contributed 5268.50 kg ha-1, twig litter 1396.10 kg ha-1 and bark litter 622.80 kg ha-1 in protected plot. However, in unprotected plots a total of 5478.20 kg ha-1 of litter was produced of which leaf litter contributed 4326.00 kg ha-1 , twig litter 740.20 kg ha-1 and bark litter 412.00 kg ha-1. It is also observed that total litter production was maximum during the month of July and minimum in the month of December in both protected and unprotected plots. The present study reveals that Eucalyptus tereticornis produces 33% more litter in protected plots as compared to unprotected one.

It has been realised that the forests can not be protected and developed without the involvement of local people. The 1988 National Forest Policy has also envisaged the involvement of local people in the protection and development of the Forests. In Cuddapah Forest Division, a tribal village by name Saibaba Nagar situated near the Palakonda Reserve Forest was identified in which the Joint Forest Management has been started with the active involvement of all the villagers by forming the Vana Samrakshana Samithi (Forest Protection Committee). A Non-Governmental Organisation has also involved actively in implementation of the Joint Forest Management in this village. The results are very encouraging and the villagers are taking very good interest in protection and development of the degraded forest.- Improvement of Natural Regeneration in Pterocarpus santalinus

By eliminating the Cymbopogon coloratus grass which is highly prone to forest fires as well as by removing the miscellaneous interfering growths like Ziziphus horrida, Bauhinia racemosa and Acacia sandra and also by taking up the soil and moisture conservation measures, the improvement in the natural regeneration in Red Sanders can be made to a large extent which will also help in the faster growth of seedlings of this very important Red Sanders tree species.- Characteristics of Leucaena leucocephala and Sesbania grandiflora Woods

Wood sample taken from the trunk of 3 year old Leucaena leucoceaphala tree was found to have a medium density and EMC and a higher heating value. Its cellulose and carbon contents were high and the ash content was low. Similar sample taken from Sesbania grandiflora plant had a low density and FMC. Compared to Leucaena leucocephala wood, it had lower heating value, less cellulose, more lignin, a lower carbon content Ind higher ash and silica contents. On the basis of the physical and chemical charaeleristics, Leucaena leucocephala wood is considered to be a superior fuel wood and a better raw material for gasification and pyrolysis.- Overthrusting and Emplacement of Basic Rocks in Lesser Himalaya, Garhwal, U.

The metamorphosed basic rocks, probably emplaced along dislocation zones during overthrusting and facilitating such movements, are persistent at the base of Uttarkashi thrust sheet in the Precambrian-Lower Palaeozoic rocks of innermost Lesser Himalayan region of Uttarkashi, Garhwal. Marked absence of such basic rocks in Tertiary rocks, and along thrusts of Sub-Himalaya and outermost Lesser Himalaya in Garhwal, may be taken as indicating a probable Upper Cretaceous age for these intrusives related to the initial phase of Himalayan orogeny.- Strain History of the Pangin Synform of Siang District of NEFA Himalaya, As Deduced from Deformed Pebbles

The deformed shapes of pebbles indicate that both the limbs of the Pangin Synform have suffered flattening-type deformation - the normal limb has undergone greater magnitude of flattening than the inverted limb. The longest axes of the pebbles, representing maximum elongation direction Of the tectonic strain ellipsoid, lie parallel and subparallel to the axial direction of the fold.- Abor Volcanics of the Arunachal Himalaya

The Abor Volcanics of the Arunachal Himalaya are typically exposed along the Dihang Valley as penecontemporaneous lava flows, sills, dykes, volcanic breccia and metatuffs.
Although the Abor Volcanics are so far considered contemporaneous to the Panjal Volcanics of the North-West Himalaya, they are typically associated with probable Precambrian-Middle Palaeozoic Siang and Mid Groups and are distinctly older to the Gondwana. Thus, Late Precambrian-Lower Palaeozoic volcanic activity is widely manifested in the Himalaya from Kashmir to Arunachal Pradesh and is represented by the Baifliaz Volcanics in Kashmir, Mandt-Darla Volcanics (in parts) in Himachal Pradesh, penecontemporaneous lavas in Garhwal Group in Kumaon and Garhwal, Karnaprayag Volcanics, Bhowali Volcanics and Abor Volcanics. This volcanism is older to an equally widespread Late Palaeozoic volcanism of the Kashmir Himalaya and Eastern Himalaya.

Lineament and fracture trace analyses of the Indo-Gangetic Plain and different tectonic units of the Garhwal Himalaya reveal four important sets with strike-slip sense of movements. Horizontally-displaced lithologic and tectonic boundaries clearly depict the sense of displacement along certain lineaments, e.g. the Ganga and Yamuna. Also, small-scale straight fracture traces generally are associated with major fracture traces of lineaments in the sense of Riedel (R), Conjugate Riedel (R'). Displacement (D) and Thrust shears (P). L1 lineaments trend N5°-N10° and show dextral sense of displacement, while its conjugate sinistral set (L3) trends N50°. The other strike-slip fracture traces and lineaments trend N25° (L1) and N90° (L3) with a dextral and sinistral sense of displacement respectively. Kinematically. it seems that the orientation of maximum principal horizontal stressU 1. deduced from lineament and fracture trace analysis, has changed anticlockwise from N60° to N24° in space and time by an amount of 35°. Interplay of some important faults along some lineaments with the Krol Thrust in frontal parts of the Krol Thrust Sheet has produced the Dehradun Re-entrant as a lateral ramp unlike the other re-entrants in the Himalaya. Furthermore, present-day seismicity in the Garhwal Himalaya is controlled by certain transverse lineaments besides being associated with major thrusts.- Ductile Shearing of the Proterozoic Chor Granitoid in the Lesser Himalaya and its Tectonic Significance

Fission Track (m) ages of apatite and zircon from the Higher Himalayan Crystalline (HHC), SE - Jammu and Kashmiralong Chenab-Suru-Dodarivers and their tributaries provide constraints on the cooling (<250°C) and exhumation history of these rocks. FT ages of apatite/zircon versus the topographic elevations of the host samples from different traverses provide linear relationships, indicating differential and secular nature of exhumation in the Himalaya. The HHC belt is exhumedat a rate of about 0.27 mm/a during Middle to Late Miocene. However, regional exhumation rate near the base along the Main Central Thrust and in central parts of the HHC from FT apatite ages is faster upto 0.35 mm/a since Late Miocene. Exhumation has considerably slowed down to 0.11 mm/a along its northern boundary and 0.02 mm/a along the Zanskar Shear Zone. No apparent faster exhurnationis discernible either along thee MCT or the Zanskar ShearZone (ZSZ). On the other hand, three large fold structures namely the Suru Dome, the Chisoti Dome and the Kishtwaranti formal window have indicated very young and fast exhumation of 0.33 mm/a, 1.1 mm/a and 3.6 mm/a respectively during the last 1 to 5 Ma.Keywords

Triassic palynomorph assemblages are recorded from the subsurface sediments of the Krishna-Godavari Basin. Four palynological assemblage zones, ranging in age from Smithian to Norian are identified in different well sections. These assemblages closely resemble Early to Late Triassic palynoflora of northwestern Australia and represent the Onslow type palynoflora.
It is suggested that the subsurface sedimentary sections in this basin, which have yielded typical Smithian to Norian palynoflora, and are termed as "Chintalapudi Sandstones", be referred to as Maleri sequence or its equivalents.

Biotite and K-feldspar Rb-Sr ages from three granitoid intrusives within the Karakoram Metamorphic Belt (KMB), eastern Ladakh yield indistinguishable ages between 12-10 Ma. Since the closure temperature of biotite for Sr diffusion is 300±50°C, we interpret these ages due to exhumation at 10 to 7 km depth within the crust. This implies that the Pangong Metamorphic Belt of the KMB, located at the southern termination of the Eurasian Plate, was undergoing a fast exhumation in a transpressional regime during Middle Miocene. These data also indicates that the southern edge of the Eurasian Plate has exhumed rapidly in comparison to the Higher Himalayan Crystallines within the Indian Plate segment.Keywords

Along the Sutlej valley, the lower package of the Higher Himalayan Crystallines (HHC) exposes a small concordant to discordant intrusive grey granite -The Maglad Khad Granite, within garnet mica schist/Banded gneiss of the Jeori Formation. This body is fine grained and foliated along the margins, whereas the central part is relatively undeformed. This body along with aplites and pegmatites intrudes the country rock during early to syn-D1 deformation. This is later affected by the most pervasive D2-deformation producing gneissosity within the granite. U-Pb dating of zircons by conventional isotopic dilution technique yield an upper intercept age of 2068±5 Ma (2σ) from 6 zircon-Fractions with MSWD=0.93, constraining the age of crystallization in the basal parts of the HHC during Early Proterozoic as well as the constraining pre-Himalayan fabric development.Keywords

In the central parts of Uttarakhand Himalaya, more than 20 km thick homoclinally NE-dipping Higher Himalayan Crystalline (HHC) Belt is thrust over the Lesser Himalaya Sedimentary Belt along the Main Central Thrust (MCT), and is almost continuously exposed between Helang and Malari along the Alaknanda and Dhauli Ganga valleys. The upper contact of this belt with the Martoli Formation of the Tethyan Himalayan Sequence is demarcated by the South Tibetan Detachment System (STDS). The belt is ubiquitously marked by small-scale asymmetrical structures like S-C and S-C' foliation, porphyroclasts and porphyroblasts, mineral fishes, intrafolial folds, duplex structures, ductile-brittle shear zones, and asymmetric shear boudins. Sense of ductile to brittle- ductile shearing has been determined from these structures across the whole belt, the MCT and the STDS, and reveals two phases of shear deformation: (a) an older top-to-SW upwards phase throughout the HHC, having an overall thrust geometry (DS1), and (b) a younger superposed top-to-NE downwards phase with normal fault sense from the middle to upper parts (DS2). These shear senses provide invaluable constraints on various tectonic models currently in use for the evolution of the Himalayan metamorphics.Keywords

Critical evaluation and comparison of the available geological and geochronological data from the northern parts of the Himalaya and Trans-Himalaya mountains highlight that these mountains did not initially evolve by the collision of continents of the Indian and Asian plates. Instead, subducted Tethyan oceanic lithosphere in front of the Indian continent melted to produce the calc-alkaline suite of the Shyok-Dras volcanic arc and the Ladakh batholith. Hence, the Indian plate initially subducted beneath and started building up the then existing intra-oceanic island arc. Timing of the first impingement of the Indian and Asia plates has been better constrained at around 57.5 Ma by comparing (i) the bulk ages from the Ladakh batholith (product of partial melting of the Tethyan oceanic lithosphere) with (ii) the subducted continental lithospheric and UHP metamorphosed Indian crust in the Tso Morari, and (iii) biostratigraphy of the youngest marine sedimentation in Zanskar. Thus, the Himalaya witnessed its first rise and emergence from deeply exhumed terrain in the Tso Morari after around 53 Ma, followed by sequential imbrication of the Indian continental lithosphere and associated exhumation during rise of the Himalayan mountains from north to the south since 45 Ma.Keywords

The Karakoram Shear Zone is a northwest-southeast trending dextral ductile shear zone, which has affected the granitic and granodioritic bodies of the southern Asian Plate margin in three distinct episodes. The ductile shearing of the granitic bodies at Tangste and Darbuk has resulted in the development of mylonites with mylonitic foliation and stretching lineation. More intense deformation is noted in the Tangste granite grading up to orthomylonite, as compared to the Darbuk granite. Kinematic indicators include S-C foliation, synthetic C' and C" antithetic shear bands, Type A s-mantled porphyroclasts, oblique quartz foliation, micro-shears with bookshelf gliding, mineral fishes including Group 2 mica fishes, and Type 1 and 2a pull-apart microstructures, and exhibit strong dextral sense of ductile shearing towards southeast. The textural features of the minerals, especially that of quartz and feldspar, indicate temperature of mylonitisation ranging between 300 and 500°C in the upper greenschist facies, and appear to have been evolved during exhumation as a consequence of oblique strike-slip movements along the Karakoram shear zone.Keywords

This work provides unequivocal evidence of the existence of Mesoarchean granulite facies metamorphic event in the Palghat-Cauvery Shear Zone (PCSZ) of South India. Charnockite samples from two prominent hills at Kollaimalai (KM) and Pachchaimalai (PM) as well as from two quarries within the Bhavani Shear Zone (BSZ) have been analyzed for their Sm-Nd and Rb-Sr ages to investigate the existence or otherwise of the Archean granulite facies events within the PCSZ. The Rb-Sr whole-rock isochron ages for massive charnockites from both the hills appear to be contemporaneous at 2.9 Ga with the initial Sr isotopic ratios of 0.7012 and 0.7014, respectively. However, the Rb-Sr data for whole-rock samples of basic granulites from one of the quarries within the BSZ indicate open system behavior, while the charnockites from the other quarry have insufficient spread in 87Rb/86Sr ratios and do not yield any isochron. The Sm-Nd data, on the other hand, do not distinguish between the massive charnockite and the lowland charnockite and yield Depleted Mantle model ages in the range 2.98±0.3 Ga for all of them. The εT CHUR for all of these rocks are highly positive. Both the Sr isotopic ratios and positive εT CHUR values for these rocks strongly suggest a mantle source for all of them. An upper age limit of ∼3.28 Ga may be assigned to the crustal accretion of the protolith of all these rocks on the basis of their Nd model ages. The Rb-Sr isochron ages of 2.9 Ga for the two massifs could be the age of granulite facies metamorphism. Thus, the metamorphism in the KM and PM Hills took place within ∼100 Ma of crustal accretion of these rocks and probably was part of the same geological event of crust formation and metamorphism. The open system behavior with respect to Rb-Sr isotopes in the basic granulite from Bhavani is possibly due to the migration of Sr isotopes, triggered during the later shearing of these rocks.Keywords

Evaluation of watershed development projects time and again revealed that the development to be sustainable, calls for involvement of beneficiaries at all stages of development process so as to transform them as Self-Managers. The existing approaches in developing three watersheds under similar agro-climatic and socioeconomic conditions, developed by research, development and NGO agencies were assessed to identify an appropriate organisational structure for developing watersheds on a sustainable basis keeping productivity, conservation, livelihoods and equity concerns in harmony. The longitudinal approach (before and after situation) was adopted to measure the impact.
People's involvement was better in NGO managed watershed due to formation of affinity groups such as SHGs and UGs which remained active even after completion of the programme. The study has established the need for strengthening local level institution, by creating suitable institution at the district level, with capacities and capabilities in managing resources on long term basis for improving productivity and ensuring livelihoods to the rural communities. Strengthening local level institution with support from UGs formed at the village level to conserve and manage the resources related to crop production, livestock, water use and managing common properties would lead to sustainable development by transforming every individual as a partner of the programme. It is concluded that for sustainable development of watersheds, involvement of local level institutions supported by affinity groups and guided by technical persons at different levels on continuous basis was needed. Then alone the primary stakeholders can transform into self-managers.

The Indian Medical Tourism Industry is significantly adding nearly 3% to the total size of healthcare sector of India. Surgical techniques and healthcare technologies have undergone revolutionary changes in past four decades giving way to early adoption of disruptive innovative practices by the quality conscious and low cost medical tourism industry in India. This secondary data based research paper aims at examining the adoption and use of Disruptive Innovative Practices in Medical Tourism Industry in India. It was concluded that Medical Tourism Industry in India is not only suitable but most probable to adopt and use the Disruptive Innovative Practices. The implication of the paper would be the encouragement of further research on disruptive innovative Practices in Medical care in India.Keywords

Very fast Early–Middle Eocene exhumation of theTrans-Himalayan Ladakh Batholith (LB) is revealedby new Rb–Sr biotite and zircon fission-track agesalong with the already published ages on these minerals.Exhumation peaked at 3.5 ± 0.9 mm/a between50–45 Ma (40Ar/39Ar hornblende ages) and 48–45 Ma(Rb–Sr biotite ages) as a consequence of the India–Asia convergence. It was followed by deceleration at arate of 1.2 ± 0.2 mm/a until 43–42 Ma (zircon FT ages),like the Deosai batholith in the west. Exhumationrates finally decreased during Oligocene to a minimumof ~0.1 mm/a before a mild late Miocene–Holocene acceleration. Lower-Middle Eocene exhumationof the LB was tectonically controlled by slabbreak-off of the Neo-Tethys oceanic lithosphere and underthrusting of the Himalayan Metamorphic Belt.Keywords

In Central and Eastern Bhutan Himalaya, the Great Himalayan Sequence (GHS) reveals mesoscopic structures within the migmatite–leucogranite association due to crustal anataxis above the Main Central Thrust (MCT). The first phase of dominant melting generates stromatitic migmatite along the main foliation during high grade of metamorphism, possibly by dehydration melting. Subsequent ductile strike–slip shearing caused in situ melting in dilatational sites to produce structureless, non-foliated patchy leucogranite leucosome as well as in boudin necks and post-tectonic patches. In addition, melt-enhanced deformation caused doming of accumulated melt and subsidiary ductile shear zones on either margins of these domes. Surrounded by biotite-rich melanosome, leucosomes destroy the pre-existing foliation during new anatectic phase, which post-dates earlier stromatitic migmatite. These migmatites are the snapshot of mutual relations between newly-developed migmatite and leucogranite melt, and signify the transportation of Himalayan Orogenic Channel to the extreme south in Central and Eastern Bhutan over the Lesser Himalayan sedimentary belt along the MCT.Keywords
