Indian Forester, Vol 129, No 2 (2003), Pagination: 169-178Abstract
Since times immemorial , plants have served mankind by providing food , shelter , medicine etc. In recent times the demand for Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) has increased rapidly in the global market. Domestic sales are growing at a rate of 20% per annum , while the international market for herbal products is estimated to be growing 7% per annum. Due to rapidly increasing demand of MAPs , a number of species are known to have become rare , endangered , threatened and extinct. Every year thousands of tonnes of these plant resources are being exploited from the natural habitat either legally or illegally without fair benefits accruing to the local people. Indian Himalayan region is the storehouse for the MAPs , besides bearing the largest economic resource being tapped , but local communities get only a tiny fraction of the profits. It is historically a secretive trade and little is known about who collects , who trades , who profits and whether there is over-harvesting. It is established that the basic causes of unsustainable harvesting are ignorance , poverty and lack of alternative livelihood support systcms accompanied by encroachments by outsiders. Sustainable harvest with proper buy-back gaurantee will provide considerable off-farm employment opportunities to the local inhabitants. Traditional and local communities are the true resource managers with deciding roles in the conservation , management , use and development of MAPs in the Himalayan region. The conservation and management of MAPs in their natural habitat require active involvement of the local communities at every step. Therefore , effective training and capacity building focused on domestication/cultivation and conservation , improved marketing systems and processing/semi processing , bio-prospecting and value addition locally are the appropriate short and long term solution to assure conservation and management and sustainable livelihoods to the local communities.- Comparative Assessment of the Valley of Flowers National Park and its Adjacent Areas in Chamoli District of Uttaranchal

In this study better germination was obtained by mechanical scarification for Acacia farnesiana, A. benthemii, Albizia lebbek and Cassia fistula. Though it will be difficult to implement in nursery requiring large stocks, the effeort is recommended as germination rates increased many fold over other treatments and control, thus requiring less seed for achieving large uniform stock.- A Method for Small Scale Genomic DNA Isolation from Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

We describe a DNA isolation procedure for chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) which is rapid and less expensive without involving ultra centrifugation or column purification steps. DNA preparation obtained from the present study was essentially suitable for PCR analysis which is one of the key steps in crop improvement programme through marker development and genetic engineering techniques. The yield of DNA ranged from 0.595- 5.550 μg/ml and the purity ratio was between 1.025- 2.010 indicating minimum levels of contaminating metabolites. The present protocol offers as a reliable, and consistent DNA isolation method for chickpea that yields large amount of pure&intact DNA.Keywords

The lateritic soils developed over Precambrian crystalline rocks near Calicut have relatively high Cation Exchange Capacity. At the same time, the soils are highly efficient for phosphate uptake. Both of these properties are traced to the presence of halloysite of intermediate hydration in the soils. Experimental results have been interpreted in terms of the structure of soil minerals.- Purana Basins of Peninsular India

Textural parameters, viz., mean, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis and CM patterns in respect of 150 offshore sediments from the continental shelf off Visakhapatnam enabled delineation of two distinct sedimentary facies, one in the northern sector (Visakhapatnam - Bheemunipatnam) and the other in the southern sector (Visakbapatnam - Pudimadaka). The sedimentary facies in northern sector includes sands (from coast up to 37 m) followed offshore by silty sands (up to 50 m), sandy silt (up to 70 m) and silts (up to 80 m) and that in the southern sector, sands (up to 30 m), silty sands (between 30 - 40m and 50 - 80 m) followed offshore by sandy silts (between 40 - 50 m). There is a progressive seaward fining of sediments in the southern sector, whereas in the northern sector the fining is towards both sea and land. Fining of sediments with depth, a feature common to open shelves, is attributed to wave action. Distribution of medium sand zone in the northern sector between 15 to 40 m along the coast has been considered to be the result of dumping of dredged out material from the nearby port area. A major part of the study area is floored by poorly-sorted sediments. Skewness values of the sediments in the southern sector increase uniformly with depth whereas they show more complex pattern in the northern sector. Leptokurtic sediments bordering the coast in the northern sector indicate removal of fines through wave and current activity. CM diagram indicates the prevalence of low to moderate current activity in the south and highly turbulent zones in the north.- Majhgawan Diamondiferous Pipe, Madhya Pradesh, India - A Review

The alkaline ultrabasic diatreme at Majhgawan has an idealised geological setting being intruded into the platformal Kaimur sandstones of the Lower Vindhyan Supergroup (1400-1100 Ma) overlying cratonic Bundelkhand granite basement (2550 Ma) which is a typical archon as per Janse (1992). Recent Rb/Sr age data indicate 1042 Ma (Smith 1992) and 1067 Ma (Anil Kurnar and Gopalan 1992) for the Majhgawan pipe. The pipe with surface dimension of 500 × 320 m is a carrot shaped body reminiscent of a typical kimberlite with minimal erosion. The pipe rock has been classified as lamproite by Scott Smith (1989, 1992a) who has termed it as olivine lamproitic lapilli tuff of crater facies. High TiO2(4-6%), less abundance of typical heavy indicator minerals (HIM) like group-10 pyrope garnet and ilmenite and overall petrological characters of the pipe strongly reflect lamproite nature. High amounts of certain minor elements such as Ba (3000 ppm), Sr (1000 ppm) and REE (high La, U/Th ratio) also indicate its lamproitic character.On the other hand the typical carrot shape of the plug, almost concentric distribution of diamonds, mode of presence of mantle-derived xenocrysts, overall chemistry with high MgO(25%) low K2O(1%) and fair amounts of Cr and Ni are highly characteristic of kimberlitic nature. Broad petrographic characters coupled with abundance of xenocrysts and occurrence of country rock xenoliths and geochemical charecteristics suggest it is in several aspects typical kirmberlite rather than lamproite. The garnet population with fair amount of harzburgitic pyrope and larger share of lherzolitic variety indicate characteristics almost intermediate between kimberlite and lamproite.
Irrespective of the nature of the diatreme in any exploration model for search of new primary sources in the area, the spesific nature of HIM of the Majhgawan rock has to be kept in view (i.e.rather less abundance of garnet that too more of group-9 type, predominance of high magnesia spinellchromite, absence of ilmenite etc). The Majhgawan diamonds (42% gem) are predominantly curve faced modified forms indicating signs of resorption.

The compositional trends in ilmenites from Majhgawan indicates slightly increased values of -log f02 i.e., 9.2. The divariant plots of Fe2O3 vs MgO and Cr2O3 vs MgO indicate resorption of most diamonds. The rounded-dedecahendra from indicates a preservation percentage of 65-70. The wine-red garnets from diamondiferous pipe are moderately subcalcic. The CaO vs Cr2O3 plot shows that they fall very close to the 85 percent Gurney line indicating emplacement at the craton margin having moderate diamond content. Geothermobarometry based on the co-existing pyropeknorringite and spinel geothermobarometer for the diamondiferous pipe yielded an equilibration temperature and pressure of 1160°C and 47 KbaT.Keywords

Geological Survey of India had recently discovered Wajrakarur pipe-10 and spinels from this pipe were analysed. Q-cluster analysis of these spinels based on Cr2O3, Al2O3, TiO2 and MgO contents indicate the presence of S1, S3, S4, S5 and S10 groups. S1 group spinels are supposed to be cogenetic with diamond i.e., stable in the mantle within the P-T regime under which diamonds are known experimentally to form. The Cr/(Cr+Al) vs Fe/(Fe+Mg) plot also show that a few spinels are from the field of diamond inclusion chromites. This study suggests probable diamondiferous nature of the Anumpalle pipe.Keywords

Based on the Q-Cluster analysis of 536 garnet grains, the garnets of Majhgawan are classified as Group 1, Group 2, Group 9, Group 10 and Group 11. Group 10 garnets have very high MgO (21.2%) and moderate to high Cr2O3 (9.5%), combined with low CaO. MgO shows negative correlation with CaO and FeO and this cluster contains a large number of garnet inclusions in diamonds. The major element chemistry of these garnets confirm that they are moderately subcalcic and have high Crcontent with a well-defined Ca-Cr trend. Around twenty percent of garnets show harzburgitic trend indicating low to moderate grade of the pipe. Nickel thermometry has indicated a well-defined geotherm between 1150° - 1400°C and corresponds approximately to a slightly elevated 42 m W/m2 conductive model. Garnets with temperature > 1150°C probably were derived from diamond stability field. Based on Ni-thennometry (using only lower cut-off) omega value is calculated (<30) which suggests an average grade upto 15 ctpht for Majhgawan pipe.Keywords

The present study focuses on operational efficiency enhancement of university transport system with special reference to Vignan University, Guntur. Vignan University was established in the year of 2008 in remote village named Vadlamudi. The university gets the students from nearer towns. For providing better facilities to the student's community, university started transport system and it have not been going on smoothly. University management is not satisfied with the performance of transport wing in terms of profits and operational efficiency. This study is intended to examine the operational costs and optimal bus facility network allocation. For this study, data are collected from both primary and secondary sources. Data are analysed on the basis of cost-benefit analysis. The results revealed that variations taken place in operating costs, transit operations could save better to management by reallocate resources as per operational cost changes. Transit network setting is one of the causes for incurring high costs. The data analysis reveals that there is a scope for increasing the profits by operational efficiency enhancement. Findings and suggestions of this study may be helpful to the university policy makers for developing more effective and better transport system.Keywords

Liberalization of the financial market and financial reforms should be applauded for a gradual increase in financial intermediation, this doesn't seem to have had significant impact to famers as seen from the agricultural sector's performance in terms of farm yields over the years; a situation which has seriously constrained the agricultural sectors' development and to a large extent floundered attempts to alleviate poverty in the country.
The attitudes that characterize bank lending to farmers and the information gap between banks and farmers complicates credit accessibility by farmers thereby curtailing their productivity and profitability. Theoretical approaches given by previous studies don't seem to agree on what issues determine commercial bank lending in general, let alone lending to the farmers. Andhra Pradesh (AP), India studies risk factors determining profitability in the formal banking sector which does not effectively lend to farmers.
Other studies on micro finance institutions focused on credit rationing and its influence on the operations of small and micro enterprises. This study will help to address the factors that contribute to lending to farmers by commercial banks in the state of Andhra Pradesh.

The policy decision to provide free or subsidized electricity has been a key driver for widespread groundwater exploitation in India. Groundwater utilization has immensely enhanced crop productivity and employment generation, which has led to poverty reduction and rural prosperity. To boost rural development in the 1970s, state government, initially began unmetered electricity supply for irrigation, which is still being continued in different states as part of their rural development policy. Policy planners and administrators are now faced with the challenge to design and implement a workable mechanism to manage the evergrowing complexity of groundwater - energy nexus. Groundwater extraction has already surpassed sustainable utilization limits in most parts of India.- Effect of Vertical Vibration on Block Foundation Resting on Homogeneous and Layered Medium

In the present study, an investigation is carried out to determine the effect of soil–rock and rock–rock foundation systems on dynamic response of block foundations under vertical mode of vibration. The half-space theory is used for the analysis of foundation resting on homogeneous soil and rocks. The finite element program having transmitting boundaries is considered for layered system considering soil–rock and rock–rock combinations. The analysis is carried out in details for soil–rock and weathered rock–rock systems and the different equations are presented for above combinations. The effect of top layer thicknesses, shear wave velocity and eccentric moments are also simulated. The rock–rock systems considered are sandstone, shale and limestone underlain by basalt rock. It is interpreted that as the shear wave velocity ratio increase the natural frequency increases and the peak displacement amplitude decreases.Keywords

Non-Performing Asset is an alarming issue for the growth of Indian Economy. It has been dealt with utmost difficulty by the banking and non-banking financial institutes, in different sectors of the country. It is a major problem of the financial sector that has been evolving round over the years. The NPA scenario for the public sector banks worsened a great extent by March end in the year 2014, as the banks were issuing loans to corporations, with an expectation of a miraculous pick-up in the economy, but ultimately it was proved to be a total loss. The amount of gross non-performing assets grew from Rs 53,917 crores, inSeptember 2008, to Rs 3,41,641 crores in September 2015, as a result there was an increase in percentage of these bad loans from 2.11 in 2008 to 5.08 in 2015.
The present study tries to discuss the reasons for the rising percentage of NPA in the priority sector, non-priority sector, and public sector, with reference to the Nationalised Banks, State Bank and associates and Other Public Sector Banks. The probable reasons found from the past and the present studies are due to several reasons. Some are from the borrowers’ side and some from the bankers’ side. Hypotheses have been formed based on the objectives, and based on those the analysis has been done. The study is exploratory and descriptive in nature. A comparative study between the three sectors and analysing the problems individually, with a suitable solution and providing suggestion at the end of the study is the main motto. The study is based on secondary data, of eleven (11) years, (2005-2015), which have been collected from the published reports of the RBI Website. Statistical tools like ANOVA have been used. The analysis and interpretation of the study has been done with the help of SPSS 20 software.
