A Contemporary Overview about Status and Challenging Issues of Tribal Education in India

India is the second-largest tribal population in the world. However, after the seven decades of independence, the tribal groups are disadvantaged and socially backward from the cycle of growth in many areas such as health, education, employment, and empowerment, and more. Among these, for tribal society, education is an essential requirement. The state and central governments have initiated several programs to educate tribal groups. Many of these programs have achieved only 10 percent of the targets. The vast numbers of tribal peoples are missing their education at various levels. They lag in education due to the high illiteracy rates among the tribal population relative to Scheduled Castes (S.C.s). Hence, the time has come to consider tribal education and inclusive growth seriously. In this context, the comprehensive literature review seeks to provide a contemporary overview of India's current status and challenging issues of tribal education. The paper is purely based on second-hand information from various research studies conducted in India and collected from different government sources. The outcomes are more helpful in implementing schemes that can improve tribal literacy and inclusive growth perspectives

Ornamental fish - prospects for culture

In 1978 work was initiated to culture the -blood clam Anadara granosa in the Bay. A 100 m2 area was selected, an elderly clam fisherman from the village was entrusted with the watch and ward. Wide publicity was given in the village to create awareness. In the evening, the site was fenced with dry palmyra leaves (to serve as pen enclosure). Nylon netting was not preferred due to possible poachin

Phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity of leaves and stem bark extracts of Garcinia imberti - an endangered Plant.

Garcinia imberti Bourd. a critically endangered tree belongs to the family Clusiaceae found only in India. The phytochemicals and antioxidant studies were carried out for the methanolic extracts of Garcinia imberti leaves and stem bark using DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assay. Preliminary phytochemical screening of methanolic extracts of Garcinia imberti revealed the presence of various bioactive components like alkaloids, flavanoids, steroids, glycosides, phenols, saponins, terpenoids, resins, carbohydrates and tannins in both leaves and stem bark. The quantitative analysis of phytochemicals of the extracts showed the presence of high amount of tannins (0.92 ± 0.23mg/gm) and alkaloids (0.83 ± 0.48mg/gm) in leaf and high concentration of flavanoids (0.65±0.16mg/gm) and tannins (0.78±1.12mg/gm) in bark extract. The result of the present study concluded that the methanolic extracts of Garcinia imberti leaves and stem bark possess significant antioxidant activity due to the presence of significant amount of phenolic compounds which are the major contributors of antioxidant activity. The finding of this study suggests that the studied plant is a potential source of natural antioxidant that could have great importance as therapeutic agents in preventing or slowing the progress of oxidative stress related degenerative diseases

Floral Ecology and Reproductive Biology of Pterospermum Reticulatum Wight and Arn. (sterculiaceae): A Vulnerable Tree Species of Western Ghats of India

Pterospermum reticulatum Wight and Arn is a vulnerable according to IUCN red list category (1998). In the present study observations were made on floral ecology and reproductive biology of Pterospermum reticulatum at Pilikula reserve forest, Mangalore, Karnataka during 2012-2013. The peak flowering was observed during February to April and anthesis occurred in the even ing between 18:30 -22:30hrs. Inflorescences in terminal or axillary fascicles, Flowers are white colour and 5 petals and 5 linear sepals. Stamens are 15, in group of five. Fruits are capsule, brown, 5-angled and 5-valved, development of fruit to dehiscence was observed. Pollen production per flower was counted 3, 93499.9 and pollen ovule ratio was 1: 393500. Floral biology including the stigma receptivity, pollen viability, pollen germination and pollen tube growth were recorded during the flowering period. Macro and Micro nutrients of the soil collected from the rhizosphere were analyzed. The factors responsible for declining of the population of Pterospermum reticulatum are discussed

Forecasting Using Vector Autoregressive Models (VAR) Applying Vector Autoregressive Model For Smart Irrigation

Forecasting data can give a better understanding, control and manage unexpected results better. Vector Autoregressive Models (VAR Models) have for long been used to find trends in a set of non-discreet values. In this paper, we focus on building VAR models, to determine the best fit using various tests and the results obtained when we applied VAR models to estimate the future values and trends in soil moisture. Along with the application of VAR models to predict the soil moisture, we have also additionally applied it to the temperature and mean sea level pressure forecasting, results of which are presented
