Indian Forester, Vol 128, No 5 (2002), Pagination: 551-561Abstract
Bidi Industry occupies the key place among the small scale forest based cottage industries of Madhya Pradesh. The industry , which is basicaJIy labour intensive , absorbs the highest proportion of workers in total industrial workforce of the State. Bidi industry had the highest proportion of Gross Value Added to the Total Value Added as industrial sector as a whole. Madhya Pradesh has a vast forest area along with Tendu leaves area and is known for its vast Tendu leaves production. The prospects of the Bidi industry in Madhya Pradesh are quite high provided attention is paid to this industry as the close substitute to Bidi are the machine made cigarettes by the large giants like MNCs. The present study aims at finding out the extent of technical change and growth pattern of productivity in the Bidi Industry of Madhya Pradesh with the help of ASI data for the period of 1973-74 to 1992-93. On the basis of results , it can be concluded that labour is the major source of output growth as compared to capital. The time trend coefficient is either found negative or insignificant in most of the cases and suggests inferences in favour of technological retrogression. Thus , it can be concluded that there is a need of review the mechanical , managerial and technological aspects with a view to promote R & D efforts in this industry otherwise this industry will also ride on the same track as the industrial sector of country ps well as State.

Indian Forester, Vol 136, No 6 (2010), Pagination: 837-842Abstract
The cult of worshipping plants as a blessing from God on earth has its ischolar_mains deep in the history of human civilization. Plants were considered as a solemn symbol that protected and defended man in various ways. Over the centuries, possibly, the world's first recorded conservation measures were enacted in India by emperor Ashoka, the Great. Later on, the agricultural practices and the other daily chores of primitive man provided definite clues for the significant tradition conservation. However, with the human population increasing manifolds, the production pressure on the land has also increased simultaneously. The enhanced rate of production, exploitation and exhaustion has left us with unabated devastation of resources. Whatever has remained is due to the socio cultural and religious traditions. Keeping this in mind, the present article is an attempt to have a glimpse into the ethnic, social and religious practices adopted in various parts of the country leading to the conservation of natural wealth.Keywords

Basods' socio-economic status was studied in Bamhani block constituting of five villages namely Bamhani, Kamta, Kapotbahra, Tilai and Chhapri lying in Mandla District of Madhya Pradesh. There are 31 Basod families in this tract consisting of 72 males and 71 females with total persons of 143 where male: female ratio varies from 792 to 1500. Literacy is very low of the order of 36.36%. Demand of green bamboos (about 78%) is mostly met through adjoining bamboo forests by illegal means and the collection goes all the year around. Per capita income of Basod varies from Rs. 1765 to Rs. 3474. Basods make several articles depending upon seasonal requirement. 73% articles are mostly disposed of through individual efforts and 27% articles are sold through middlemen. 28% of the articles are consumed in villages. 28% are sold in local markets. Town markets are important in Bamhani area where 38% of articles are consumed. The remaining 6% articles are shifted to city market. Basods in this region have developed expertise to manufacture decorative items which fetch good price. Each article fetches a different price depending upon total bamboo consumed and mandays put up for manufacture of articles. Net profit per manday varies from Rs. 8.32 to Rs. 35.53 on general commodities. On decorative articles net profit per manday is from Rs. 40.82 to Rs. 48.89. On goods to be used in marriages, net profit per manday is from Rs. 3.32 to Rs. 21.65. Assuming that Basods work for 200 days in a year making certain articles, per day earning turns out to be Rs. 19.18. This is however improved if decorative items are sold. Articles used in marriages do not yield substantially. Bamboo requirement in Bamhani area is of the order of 29000 bamboo culms for 200 days if 2 bamboos are used by a male Basod and one bamboo by a female Basod daily. Main problems of Basod community in this region are (1) non availability of green bamboos; (2) improper marketing and selling of articles and (3) non-availability of finances. In addition to many other suggestions, initiation of Basod Co-operative Society will be a step further in improvement of socio-economic status of Basods.- Middle Eocene Calcareous Algae from Southwestern Kachchh, Gujarat

The Fulra limestone (middle Eocene) exposed in the areas around Jhadwa and Harudi villages, southwestern, Kachchh reveals presence of a rich assemblage of calcareous algae belonging to the Chlorophyceae and Rhodophyceae along with abundant foraminifera. In the present paper, eight species belonging to eight genera of calcareous algae are described. These include Dissocladella longijangensis, Sporolithon keenani, Corallina crossmanni, Arthrocardia sp. Misra et al. 2001, Lithothamnion ishigakiensis, Melobesioideae gen. et spec. indet. 1, Melobesioideae gen. et spec. indet. 2 and Lithoporella melobesioides. Out of these, one taxon belongs to the family Dasycladaceae. Among the remaining taxa, one taxon to the family Sporolithaceae, three taxa to the family Corallinaceae and three to the family Hapalidiaceae. Two coralline species, Corallina crossmanni and Lithothamnion ishigakiensis, are recorded for the first time from India. Another species (Dissocladella longijangensis), though known from other areas of India, is new to the study area.
The dominant group of the calcareous algal association in the study area is represented by non-geniculate coralline algae comprising Hapalidiaceae, Corallinaceae and Sporolithaceae; the minor component is represented by dasyclads (chlorophyceae). These algal groups, together with their growth-forms (arbosescent, encrusting to fruticose, warty), and the associated foraminifera indicate that the depositional environment of the Fulra limestone ranged from deeper innerto mid-ramp environment (40-80 m) in the upper photic zone.

This study attempts to investigate trends of foreign investment in India’s tourism industry on the basis of data on past trends and pattern of FDI flows in this sector. Research adopts both qualitative and quantitative approach on the basis of different secondary sources such as reports, articles, tourism and travel reports, tourism ministries publications to study trends in tourism industry. Then, Granger Causality test is used to study the causal relationship between India’s economic growth and FDI in tourism sector. Time series analysis techniques and Linear regression model are used to establish relation between FDI flows in Indian tourism and identify independent factors. For time series analysis, stationarity is tested by applying ADF unit ischolar_main test. Regression assumptions are also tested and appropriate regression model was fitted using Eviews statistical software. Factors impacting FDI inflows in tourism industry are studied by using regression analysis on the basis of identified independent variables. Results reveal that the Government individual spending and inflation have a key role in impacting FDI inflows positively. While other factors like total tourist visits, exchange rate, GDP contribution of Tourism and Per Capita GDP have an insignificant impact but cannot be altogether ignored and are of significance when taken together. The existing trend and inflows in tourism sector are not encouraging enough thus require much needed effort in direction of promoting India as an investment destination for foreign investors. Authors findings are interesting as they indicates the Govt’s spending are important contributors among other factors and hence, to encourage tourism should support through infrastructural development and strategic planning.Keywords
