Also the relationship between man and environment in general has never been static and is changing continuously. But this is not the case with tribal/ aboriginal communities the world over. The life, culture and traditions of these communities have remained almost undisturbed and static for hundreds of years. They are the living archaeological museums of ancient traditions and cultural heritage of a nation.Item Open Access Financial inclusion through business correspondents in North Bengal : An empirical study(University of North Bengal, 2021) Jaiswal, Pintu Prasad; Dhar, Samirendra NathItem Open Access Genetic Characterization of Nucleopolyhedrovirus Isolated from Hyposidra talaca Walker (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), a Tea Pest in Terai Region of Darjeeling Foothills, India.(University of North Bengal, 2022) Ghosh, Bappaditya; Bahadur, Min; Mukhopadhyay, AnandaItem Open Access Groundwater Management under the Indian Legal Framework: Challenges and the Way Forward(University of North Bengal, 2023-03) Lama, NeelamAbout 89 per cent of the world's fresh water resources are found in groundwater, but over the past few decades, groundwater extraction has dramatically increased, having a detrimental effect on aquifers. India is the biggest users of groundwater in the World, over 230 cubic kilometers of groundwater is used per year. As a result, more and more aquifers are being exploited to an unsustainable level, and the nation frequently experiences drinking water shortages. This article focuses on the groundwater laws that apply in India. It also examines legal approaches in groundwater law and its challenges in this contemporary India where groundwater is a dwindling resource. Further this paper highlights the measures taken by the central government in order to protect groundwater resources and argues that the existing framework governing groundwater is based largely on principles developed during the 19th century. In the light of this, the author argues that a new set of principles should be established that acknowledge the shared nature of groundwater and the human right to water, as failing to do so will violate the right to access water, and in turn, the right to life under Article 21 of the Constitution. Therefore, there is an urgent need to change the current situation.Item Open Access Growth of Megacities and Decline of Small Towns in India: Why it Demands Attention from Planners and Policy Makers(University of North Bengal, 2015) Chaudhuri, SumitaThe slow growth of small towns and stagnation, decay and declassification of several such towns in a period of rapid urbanization in India is a phenomenon which have not received much attention from demographers or economic planners. The slow growth, stagnation or decay of a large number of small towns is a phenomenon which must be studied historically. The stagnation of small towns in the era of planned industrialization and urbanization deserves serious attention from planners and policy makers in India.Item Open Access Health Seeking Behaviour among the Migrant Tribal Workers of Tea Plantation in Assam: Some Observations(University of North Bengal, 2016) Kar, R.K.In anthropology, emphasis is generally put on the group; and on the study of human beings within the framework of a culture. Every culture has its own notion regarding health and health seeking behaviour; and this is often referred to as Health Culture. The health of any community, particularly of a tribal community is a function of the interaction between cultural and biological practices, the genetic attributes and the environmental condition. It has long been recognized that Health Culture is a suitable field for ethnographic research in anthropology. In the paper, an attempt has been made to have an understanding of the health culture of the migrant tribal worker in Assam tea plantation with special reference to their health seeking behavior. The people generally subscribe to their own understanding of health, disease and disease etiology, as defined by their tradition and culture. With regard to disease etiology, they believe in both supernatural and natural forces. Some diseases are believed to be the outcome of the wrath of supernatural powers; and some are caused by natural factors. Their prolonged contact with the modern medicare system for around sixteen decades does not seem to have the desired impact on their overwhelming subscription to the traditional sub-culture of medicine. Despite the availability of modern medicare services at the door step, the people usually give priority to traditional or folk medicine. The inability of folk medicine to cure some ailments sometimes may compel them to avail of the services of the hospital or some other modern health practitioners. Sometimes, however, they continue both the treatments simultaneously. On the whole, till date, the migrant tribal tea workers in Assam are by and large, relatively more tradition-oriented with regard to their health seeking behaviour. Sometimes, however, both the traditional and the modern health care systems have been found to complement each other; and the people use both the systems apparently without any reservation or any feeling of contradiction.Item Open Access Impact of Globalisation on higher education : brain drain from India to the United States(University of North Bengal, 2018) Chaudhuri, Bhaskar,; Bhuimali, Anil,Item Open Access In vivo seed germination and seedling morphology of Phoenix dactylifera L. and Phoenix sylvestris (L) Roxb(University of North Bengal, 2016-03) Mondal, Sujit; Chowdhury, Anurag; Basu, S.K; Chowdhury, MonoranjanA comparative study of Phoenix dactylitera L. and Phoenix sylvestris (L) Roxb. has been done in the Medicinal Plant Garden in North Bengal University. The germination status of mature seeds of two species in vivo condition was recorded. It was seen that Phoenix dactylifera prefers natural pH (45.5) where as Phoenix sylvestris orefer acidic soil with pH (6-7). During this study total seed output, times of germination, first aerial lea veneration pattem and reproductive capacity were calculated.Item Open Access India's Nuclear policy : constructivist approach(University of North Bengal, 2018) Roka, Dipmala; Datta, Anup KumarItem Open Access Innovation and Progress: An Insight into the Indian Business Start-Ups and the Promotion of Scientific Temper for Socio-Economic Advancement(University of North Bengal, 2024-03) Rakshit, Souradeep; Moitra, SanyuktaThe Constitution of India through its 42nd Amendment of 1976, incorporated "scientific temper' as one of the Fundamental Duties to every Indian citizen under Article 51 A (h). The first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru mentions this term in his book "Discovery of India" where he characterised scientific temper as a mind-set to change or alter one's intuition in the light of evidences and not to accept anything which appears to be irrational or without proof. Our country has consistently put forth attempts to concede to the scientific temper, time and again and emphasised its significance. In 2013, the Science, Technology, and Innovation policy, developed by the Government of India pushed on the advancement of scientific temper amongst every citizen. However, it needs to go quite far to appropriately show this temperament while fostering the resolutions for achieving socio-economic goals of the country. Presently, it has been noticed that business ventures are intensely reliant upon scientific temper and this will be ultimately essential for the entrepreneurs to succeed. Thus, small and micro undertakings backed by competitive and state of the art technology will be the foundation for greater enterprises in the country, resulting in economic boom. All future businesses will be driven by science and technology and hence, it is called for addition of new avenues and enterprises, with changing time and further with scientific temper as its major ingredient. Start-ups can be considered as one such innovation that has been leading businesses growing by leaps and bounds. In India, the last decade emerged with great start-ups like CRED, Meesho, Swiggy, Zomato, Delhivery, Oyo and many more, making itself one of the most important start-up hubs in Asia and perhaps even in the world. The scientific temper in start-ups can further do wonders to India’s socio-economic growth in the long run. Hence, in this paper, the authors shall make an attempt to bring out the essence of scientific temper in bringing forth the technologically advanced start-ups in India and its capacity to form the basis of India's future in the global market, in terms of both technological advancements and entrepreneurship. The paper will also highlight the hindrances to its growth and suggest measures in contributing to the growth of start-up ecosystem in India.
