Estimation of radionuclide content is essential for assessment of individual exposure in areas where groundwater is the principal source of drinking water. Elevated levels can be expected in areas known for radioactive mineral deposits and anthropogenic activities like mining and ore processing industry. The aim of this study is to determine the uranium and 226Ra in groundwater sources adjoining and away from uranium mining and ore processing industry at Turamdih, Jharkhand. The concentration of uranium in well/tubewell samples analysed nearby and away from the tailings ponds ranged from 0.1 to 8.4 μg l-1 and 226Ra varied from 4 to 269 mBq l-1. The wide variation of activity concentration is due to regions of uranium deposits with elevated level of radium in the earth's crust and geological faults, when compared to lower concentration profile of radium in earth crust. The ingestion of uranium and 226Ra in the adult population residing around Turamdih mining complex through drinking water sources ranged from 0.81 μSv year-1 to 3.8 μSv year-1 respectively. This is much lower than 100 μSv year-1, that is recommended by WHO for ingestion from intake of a single radionuclide. The groundwater monitoring carried out over four years around Turamdih mining complex indicates that there has been no observable impact on groundwater sources due to mining and ore processing activities in this region.Keywords

Measurement of dissolved radon and 226Ra in groundwater was carried out in 30 different locations around the uranium mining and ore processing area of Jaduguda, Jharkhand, India. Activity concentration of 226Ra was found to be very low, whereas dissolved radon was observed to be slightly elevated due to geological features of the area consisting of uranium mineralization. No definite relation was observed between radon and 226Ra in groundwater. The annual dose due to ingestion of radon containing water estimated at 60% locations was less than 100 μSv. The maximum ingestion dose was found to be 300 μSv to adult members of the public. The average dose due to the ingestion of radon in water was 94 μSv, which is less than the stipulated limit of 1000 μSv prescribed by regulatory body.Keywords

Front line demonstrations (FLDs) were conducted in Faizabad district of Uttar Pradesh to asses performance of short duration rice variety Sushk Samrat on Farmers field in target environment i.e. rainfed upland during Kharif 2011 and 2012. The socio-economic survey of district revealed the real problem associated with rice cultivation. Farmers of the study areas were resource poor and they are still growing local land races in rainfed upland ecosystem. In view of the above mentioned facts frontline demonstrations on newly developed short duration rice variety 'Sushk Samrat' was conducted to improve rice productivity and bridging gap between potential yield and farmers yield of rice. Result of two consecutive years of the FLD's revealed that rice variety Sushk Samrat posses drought resistant coupled with high yielding capacity and it out yielded farmers variety in all the demonstrations. The average of two seasons data revealed that 34.77 per cent higher grain yield of rice (28.87 q/ha) is recorded in demonstrations as compared to farmers' practice (21.42 q/ha). The high positive value (9.76 %) of technology index indicated that technology is highly viable for rice cultivation in rainfed upland ecosystem of Faizabad district of Uttar Pradesh.Keywords

Grain quality characteristics (Physico-chemical) of forty five short grain aromatic rices were evaluated in the Biochemistry Laboratory, Crop Research Station, (NDUAT) Masodha, Faizabad in 2012. Physico-chemical analysis of collected genotypes revealed that all these rices possess good grain and cooking quality. Among physical parameters of grain quality, the milling per cent among tested genotypes varied from 50.90 to 70.0 per cent. The maximum milling recovery (%) was recorded for Zeeringa shabha collected from Amethi area of district Sultanpur while volume expansion ratio varied from 1.90 to 5.50. Amylose content (%) ranged from 19.25 to 24.10 per cent. The lowest AC (%) was recorded in 'Lalmati (Kurauli, Barabanki)', whereas highest in 'Kalanamak (Tulsipur)'. Intermediate amylase content was recorded for all the tested rice genotypes.Keywords
