Development of primitive tribes has been one of the major goals of the government right from the beginning of the first plan period But this has failed time and again because of certain technical and administrative lacunae and also because of the fact that the primitive tribes are intrinsically attached to their homeland in various ways and are not in a position to risk that for uncertain development In 1950 the famous anthropologist Verrier Elwin had brought out an epoch-making book The Bondo Highlander The Bondo or the Bonda as they are known in Orissa are feared due to their pronenoss to violence at the slightest provocation whether among themselves or in relation to outsiders Hence development efforts have been halting and fraught with violence in their Hills Taking the previous natural or cultural hindrances for their development into consideration an attempt has been made in this study to show as to how the so-called fierce and home-loving primitive Hill Bonda could be rehabilitated within their hill abode without being brought to the plains 300 pp.…

Sarkar. It is difficult to forecast the serious consequences of damage to soil health on plants, animals and human beings. Agricultural soils across the globe are affected by erosion, degradation, nutrient depletion, pollution, organic matter decline and faulty management practices. This has resulted into 'Plant nutrient disorders' due primarily to imbalances, interactions, deficiencies or toxicities of one or more plant nutrients. Quality of irrigation water and environmental stress has a profound influence on this process. The present book provides an insight into the reasons for occurrence of such nutrient disorders, methodologies to monitor soil, plant, water and environment and ways to diagnose the problem through analytical and instrumental techniques. Widespread occurrence of secondary and micronutrient deficiencies in soils have resulted into low uptake of these nutrient ions by plants with adverse impact on human and animal health. Continuous cropping without due care of efficient soil and water use, have resulted in poor crop performances with low yields in many areas. This book attempts to provide answers to some pertinent questions on the subject i.e. I. Why plant nutrient disorders occur? II. Whether these are site or crop specific? III. How best one can diagnose the problem, by adopting sound analytical techniques? IV. What are the major concerns? V. How best one can manage such disorders to sustain soil health for crop production? Implementing scientific soil management programme requires good team work among scientists, extension workers and field staff with governmental support and farmer's participation. It is hoped that this book written in a simple language will be very useful for the students and teachers of Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Fisheries and allied disciplines.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. The defence capability of a nation rests upon its weapons and ammunition system, weapons for brevity, and the armed forces confidence in their effective utilisation. Designing weapons goes beyond drawings and simulations as accurately simulating transient impulsive loading conditions is impractical. Test Ranges, Ranges for brevity, play a pivotal role by resolving these challenges through actual firings, facilitating incremental developments and final acceptance of weapons. The capabilities of a range are intimately tied to the weapon itself. The book introduces weapons with the necessary details to comprehend range functioning. It covers weapon types, complexities, payload delivery, propulsion sysems, target neutralisation, safety, reliability, life cycle, performance in extreme climates, and high speed impacts. The book explores the attributes of an ideal Range and discusses qualitative and quantitative methods for assessing weapon performance. It delves into Range infrastructure, techniques, and the establishment of the Proof & Experimental Establishment (PXE) in 1895, supported by visual aids such as photographs, tables, case studies, and anecdotes.…
