Abstract:
Background Contraceptive practice acceptable to Indian society is said to be associated with socio-economic status, education, practice of the area and other factors. Population stabilization and a gradual lowering of population growth is the basic aim behind contraceptive practice. Objectives The study was conducted to assess current status of contraceptive practice and social covariates (age, type of family, religion, socio-economy, education, etc). Materials and Methods A community based cross-sectional study was conducted among four thousand eligible couples in Howrah and Paschim Midnapore districts of state of West Bengal, India from March to September 2009. By stratified multistage random sampling technique, 32 areas were selected from two districts; villages of sub-centre zone and wards of municipality; from each selected area; 125 eligible couples were interviewed by house to house survey. Results The contraceptive acceptance (prevalence) rate (CAR) by any method was 65.3 percent and couple protection rate (CPR) by approved methods was 58.4 percent in these two districts of West Bengal. In Paschim Midnapore district CAR was higher (67.4%) than Howrah district (63.3%). Similarly in Howrah district CPR was less (54.3%) than Paschim Midnapore district (62.6%). Type of family, age and literacy status of female partners, religion and social class were associated with adoption of family planning methods by the eligible couples with inter-district variation. Conclusion Area specific multipronged tailor-made interventions are needed through Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) for promotion of acceptance of both the temporary & permanent methods of contraception at the appropriate time to achieve small family norm.

Abstract:
The aim of the present study was to estimate long-term trend in the amount of rainfall for Gangetic West Bengal (GWB) meteorological sub-division of India and each of the 13 districts under GWB separately. Monthly rainfall time series data of 100 years (1901-2000) were analyzed to measure monotonous trend of rainfall employing Sen’s slope estimator. Statistical significance of the trend was determined using non-parametric Mann-Kendall test. An important result derived from the analysis was that the GWB sub-division and South 24 Parganas (S24P) district showed significant increasing trend (mm/year) of annual rainfall measuring 2.025 and 4.99 respectively. An inclining trend of monsoon precipitation, which was significant, found in four districts viz. Bankura, North 24 Parganas (N24P), S24P and West Midnapore along with GWB itself. A major finding of the study revealed that six districts and GWB had significant increasing trend in September rainfall with a maximum value of 1.324 mm/year in S24P district. Contribution of rainfall in October and post-monsoon season as well increased considerably in Kolkata and S24P districts while in December, similar trend was observed for Birbhum and Howrah districts. Murshidabad, S24P and East Midnapore districts experienced significant rising trend of precipitation in July, August and November respectively. On the contrary, Burdwan and Nadia districts, in the month of May and pre-monsoon season, had considerable declining trend of rainfall. Significant decreasing trend (mm/year) of precipitation, a concern for Nadia district, with magnitude of 0.127 and 0.293, was observed in the months of March and April respectively.

Abstract:
A butterfly study in the biodiversity rich biogeography transition zone of the undivided Midnapore District of West Bengal was carried out from March 2014 to March 2017. A total of 98 species of butterflies under five families, 19 subfamilies, and 70 genera were documented by the study. Maximum species diversity was found in Nymphalidae family with 31 species (31.63%), followed by Lycaenidae 24 species (24.48%), Hesperiidae-17 (17.34%), Pieridae 16 (16.32%), and the least by Papilionidae 10 (10.28%). Among the families, the highest common species (n=10) was recorded under the family Nymphalidae and maximum rare species (n=4) under the family Lycaenidae. Highest species richness has been recorded in post-monsoon season (97 species) followed by monsoon (78 species), winter (66 species), and pre-monsoon (47 species). During the study, five species of butterflies (Castalius rosimon, Neptis jumbah, Discophora sondaica, Lethe europa, and Papilio clytia) under Schedule-I, three species (Euchrysops cnejus, Mahathala ameria, and Cepora nerissa) under Schedule-II and three species (Baoris farri, Hyarotis adrastus, and Euploea core) under Schedule-IV were legally protected under the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. A good species to genera ratio (1.4: 1) along with 10 newly recorded species and their range extension provide information for better understanding of the ecology and distribution pattern of the butterfly fauna. The information of the study will thus help to develop conservation strategies for management of the unique bio-geographical transitional zone.

Abstract:
Sacred groves are forest patches conserved by the local people interwined with their socio-cultural and religious practices. An extricable link between the past and present society in terms of religion, socio-culture, heritage and biodiversity exists in the sacred groves. It is distributed globally where ethnic indigenous communities live. Several animals and plants that are threatened in forests are still abundant and well conserved in such sacred groves. The taboos, religious belief and sacredness play a significant role in promoting sustainable utilization and conservation. In this regard, the study of a sacred grove in the district of West Midnapore in West Bengal highlighting the tradition may provide a powerful tool for ensuring biodiversity conservation through community participation.

Abstract:
Being the fourth most populated state of India, West Bengal has a population of about 82 million, of which a major percentage is represented by coastal fishing communities who are habituated to do a physically demanding occupation which may have a positive influence on their the physical parameters. Thus the present investigation was designed in order to assess the influence of fishery, such a physically demanding occupation on physical fitness and to compare whether fishermen have more cardiovascular fitness and anaerobic power than sedentary workers or not. The study was conducted in 15 randomly selected male fishermen of the Midnapore District (East), West Bengal, India (mean age of 22.5), and the 15 college students (mean age of 21.9) served as a control group. A significant difference (p<0.05) in blood pressure, PFI, energy expenditure, body fat% and anaerobic power was found in fishermen. But, in contrast, BSA, BMI, resting heart rate, VO2max, mean upper arm circumference, thigh and calf circumferences were found to be non-significant. This study implies fishermen have more physical fitness (cardiovascular fitness) and muscle mass, but a lower percentage of body fat than the sedentary population.

Abstract:
"Au Bengale, parmi les Patua ou Citrakar, "Peintres", se trouvent des montreurs de peinture qui, parcourant les villages, appellent au seuil des maisons pour réciter leur rouleau peint en échange d'une aumône. La dimension religieuse de l'activité joue un rôle fondamental dans le statut de ces groupes, fluctuant entre hindouisme et islam, artisans, basses castes, mendiants religieux et prêtres funéraires. Je montre ici que le caractère liminaire du montreur d'image se retrouve dans d'autres traits du groupe, et il n'est pas sûr que les changements suscités par la redécouverte de cet art vigoureux et libre représentent une évolution. Par rapport à la conception rigide du système des castes, le cas patua révèle néanmoins un système bien plus ouvert qu'on ne le pense à la circulation des hommes et des savoir-faire, où fluidité et mixité sont un donné fondamental. Une patiente étude de terrain scrute deux implantations patua à Medinipore, leur fondation et leurs transformations entre 1890 et nos jours, à trois niveaux : relations avec les "dominants", organisation de la parenté, activités économiques. L'on voit que le groupe se construit dans une tension entre l'itinérance, masculine, récurrente et valorisée, et le désir d'installation, projeté sur la lignée patrilinéaire et patrilocale. Le groupe localisé et la caste se perpétuent par le biais du mariage préférentiel avec la cousine croisée matrilatérale et le système du "gendre à la maison", dominés par la relation frère-soeur et les figures "extérieures" de la soeur aînée et de l'oncle maternel, incluant des extérieurs à la caste. Les activités (colportage, petit commerce, artisanat, guérisseur. . . ) s'organisent aussi entre lieux de sédentarité et lieux de déplacements, entre proche et lointain, comme le montreur d'image. Sur les chemins, rompu aux rencontres et changements d'identité, il éveille une crainte religieuse dans la maison du dévot. Rappelant que le don est source de mérites et l'avarice de calamités, il se pose en médiateur capable d'emporter les péchés censés avoir provoqué la maladie. Dépassant les clivages, il rappelle, avec ses images, que l'homme doit passer un seuil ultime. Portant le poids de ce rôle, il engage à poser la question du statut de l'image en Inde, peu traitée alors qu'elle y prolifère, par rapport à la problématique de la délivrance. "
In Bengal, one can still find picture showmen among the Patua or Citrakar, "Painters". Moving from place to place, they show their scroll-paintings to village households in exchange for alms. The religious dimension of this activity plays a fundamental role in the status of these groups, which oscillate between Hinduism and Islam, artisans, low castes, religious mendicants and funerary priests. This study widens our previous researches, showing how the liminal character of the showman is found in other aspects of his group, and that new developments since the rediscovery of their art may not be a change. However, if one considers the caste system as a rigid one, the Patua case shows that, as far as men and savoir-faire are concerned, the system is much more open than usually believed, fluidity and intermingling are definitely one of its fundamentals. Through intensive fieldwork, I studied the foundation and transformations of two patua hamlets in Medinipore district from 1890 to the present. I focused on relations with the "dominants", kinship organisation, and economic activities. The group lives in a constant tension between recurrent, valued male "itinerance", and the desire to settle down which expresses itself through patrilineal, patrilocal lineage. The residential group and the caste are maintained through matrilateral cross-cousin marriage and "the son-in-law at home", institutions dominated by the brother-sister relationship and the figures of the elder sister and maternal uncle (lineage outsiders) and including persons from outside the caste. The activities - peddling, petty trading, small arts and crafts, healing, etc. . . - are also distributed between "inside" and "outside", "far" and "near", just like the showmen practise. Meeting all kinds of people, changing identities, he arouses a religious fear in the devotee, reminds him that giving is a source of merits and being miserly brings all kinds of illnesses. He can also be the mediator who takes away the sins that are supposed to have caused illness in the house. Beyond group divisions, by showing his painting at the threshold of the house, he is a reminder that man has a last threshold to cross. He bears the burden of the role. And shows that the status of image in India is related to the problematic of delivrance

Abstract:
In recent decades, species extinction has increased sharply. Most species in the world are discovered in tropical forests – covering more than 10% of the planet. Sustainable management and conservation efforts must include local communities and their traditional knowledge. The traditional use of forest resources, especially non-timber products such as medicinal plants, not only has deep roots in indigenous populations, but is also practiced in a broad segment of culture. Using medicinal herbs is often a costly alternative to modern medicine that is economically inevitable. This traditional use's basic knowledge is carried from one generation to the next. Medical use in particular reflects an extremely vibrant, ever-evolving process in which fresh knowledge is constantly acquired and connected to traditional methods. An instance from West Bengal's West Midnapore district in India is used to illustrate the impacts of an integrated strategy to preserving biodiversity and culture.

Abstract:
The present chapter focuses on the importance of infrastructure in the dryland areas of West Bengal, India, covering four districts, namely, Purulia, Bankura, West Midnapore and Birbhum. The importance and necessity of having good infrastructure is a well-known phenomenon but it carries a special significance for the drylands, where good infrastructure can open various avenues of earning, communication, better life standard as well as management and nourishment of all types of natural resources in these areas. Sustainable use of natural resources occur utmost importance because it is the only source of livelihood for the people of these areas. Through this study, we have tried to make an assessment of the existing infrastructure scenarios in these four districts for the period 2003-04 to 2012-13. Doing the SWOT analysis amongst the districts, the results show that West Midnapur and Bankura are in a better position than Purulia and Birbhum, although, Birbhum is in a good position in few indicators.

Abstract:
The geo-physical features of the vast stretch of land constituting the study area have been delineated in this chapter. The present study area mainly comprises the mature and active delta regions, that is, the modern districts of North and South 24-Parganas, Howrah, Hooghly, parts of Nadia and East and West Midnapur. In addition to the mature and active delta regions, the adjoining upland areas lying to the south and west of the present district of West Midnapur have also being taken into consideration. The geo-physical considerations have led the author to classify the study area into three arbitrary zones. However, these zones should not be viewed as watertight compartments. A sub-section deals with the physiographic features of the three zones. The chapter also discusses coast-line fluctuations and river course change since the seasonal movements of sea water, stagnation of water and subsequent lagoon formation, changes in the courses of the main rivers, and excessive flow from the upper reaches often leading to floods have all influenced the surviving strategies and even the development of settlements in the coastal tract. Changes in river courses in many instances have been instrumental in the survival and spread of sites.

Abstract:
The topic of growth and convergence is at the heart of a wide-ranging debate in the growth literature. The century long history of deprivation and backwardness of Jangalmahal area and four districts of it in the state of West Bengal—Purulia, Bankura, West Midnapore and parts of Birbhum—is also a well discussed issue. The dependency of the people on forest products to earn livelihoods is a natural phenomenon which, over the years, has resulted in considerable exploitation of forest resources. Through this chapter, we have made an attempt to see whether there exists any convergence, both absolute as well as conditional, in the total forest product of Jangalmahal and in the incomes earned from forest resources. We have seen the presence of Beta convergence, both conditional and absolute, in both tests of forest products as well as income from it. Sigma of forest income diverges instead of converge. Similar result is seen in case of timber.
