3. Sukhomajri village in shiwalik range of himalaya at Ambala District,Haryana
earned acclaims for transforming into a model village for the sustainable way
they utilized their forest & water for their benefit. Similarly Ralegaon Siddhi
village in Maharashtra turned model by its Anna Hazare We also have ex of

4. Piedmont Plain= An area of land formed or lying at the foot of a mountain or
mountain range like say Himalayan foothills.
Near this place of the break of slope, the soils are coarse. Such soils are more
common in piedmont plains such as Duars, Chos and Terai
What does this paragraph about alluvial soils mean?
so this is the para -> As we move inlands towards the river valleys,soil
particles appear some what bigger in size.In the upper reaches of the river
valley,i.e. near the place of the break of the slope,the soils are coarse,such
soils are more common in piedmont plains such as Duars, Chos and Terai.
Ans: It is basically saying that the closer you move up stream towards the
source of sediment, the coarse the material gets. So high up, or "near the
pace of the break of slope" or "in the upper reaches" you would expect the
river to flow with more energy, such is the case of rapids, this allows the river
to sufficient energy to carry larger material and deposit it when the energy
runs out. Coarser material like sands and gravels will be deposited here- in
piedmont plains like-Duars (when plains like starts and mountain ends)
chos (hilly of transitional areas) and Terai (foothill of the area. It is marshy
coz disappeared springs of mountains reappear here from ground). As the
river meanders through the plains, toward the coast the amount of energy
decreases and thus amount of coarser material lessens, this is where you
would see deposits of clay and silts, finer material.
5. North cachar hills in Assam (It is known for limestone, coal & called
switzerland of east for its beauty). An extension of Peninsular Plateau (Along
with Central Highlands it is a part of Deccan Plateau) in North East is
Meghalaya plateau, Karbi-anglong plateau at Assam, & North Cachar Hills,
Assam.
6. The government of Uttar Pradesh, India, has faced protests against its
proposed enforced land acquisition in 2011. These protests have been
centred on the village of Bhatta Parsaul, Greater Noida and have resulted in
sporadic incidents of violence since January of that year. In August 2010 there
had been protests against the state government in Delhi and these had
resulted in three deaths. The issue is controversial because around 65% of
the Indian population is economically dependent on agriculture but the
government has the power to requisition any private land which it thinks is
needed for a "public purpose". Past examples of this included several
acquisitions by regional authorities across India for the purpose of developing
Special Economic Zones to boost the economy and create jobs. In this
instance, the state government of Uttar Pradesh has requisitioned the land
for the building of the Yamuna Expressway-a road linking Agra to Delhi.
7. Yamuna Expressway (Hindi: ) is a 6-lane (extendable to 8
lanes), 165 km long, controlled-access expressway, connecting Greater Noida
with Agra in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is so far, India's longest sixlane controlled-access expressway stretch. The total project cost was Rs.

128.39 billion (US$2.0 billion). The expressway project concept was proposed
by former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Mayawati, its construction began in
December 2007, completed about two years ahead of its original target
completion date and inaugurated on 9 August 2012 by Chief Minister Akhilesh
Yadav.
8. The Ganga Expressway project was launched by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister
Mayawati after coming to power in 2007. The project aims to construct a
1047 km access controlled eight-lane expressway running along the Ganga
(Ganges) River. This expressway will connect Greater Noida to Ballia thus
ensuring high speed connectivity between the Eastern and Western
boundaries of Uttar Pradesh. The proposed expressway from Ballia (East) to
Greater Noida (West) is also planned to provide a flood control embankment
floods being a major cause of agricultural and environmental damage,
diseases and deaths during India's monsoon season. The expressway will
connect major cities in the state of Uttar Pradesh, passing through Varanasi,
Mirzapur, Allahabad, Pratapgarh, Rae Bareli, Unnao, Kanpur, Kannauj Hardoi,
Farrukhabad, Shahjahanpur, Badaun, Bulandshahr.
9. Delhi Western Peripheral Expressway, or KundliManesarPalwal (KMP)
Expressway, is a under construction 135.6 km (84.3 mi) long Expressway
being constructed in the Indian state of Haryana. North end- Kundli (Sonepat,
Haryana) & South end-Palwal (Ghaziabad). The road project which is expected
to lessen traffic and therefore pollution in Delhi is also expected to spur socioeconomic and infrastructure development in the districts surrounding the
road.
10.Brahmaputra passes via Dihang gorge at Arunachal Pradesh & also forms a
gorge at Dhubri, Assam. At Dhubri, it takes a southward bend to enter
Bangladesh.
11.Once in the oceans, the CO2 no longer traps heat. Human activities such as
the combustion of fossil fuels and land use changes have led to a new flux of
CO2 into the atmosphere. About 45% has remained in the atmosphere; most
of the rest has been taken up by the oceans,[22] with some taken up by
terrestrial plants- The oceans the largest CO2-reservoir- more than
atmosphere & forests even. Waise, i know more H2O at ocean than
atmosphere.
12.A Patland plateau or Pat is the local name for lava- capped Mesas in
Chotanagpur plateau( specifically in Western Ranchi Plateau region).
Now, what are Mesas -- Mesa, a Spanish word, means Table. Mesas are
nothing but flat land masses like a table whose top layer is flat and resistant,
and the slopes are very steep. A long period of denudation reduces them to
isolated hills with flat tops called Buttes. The western plateau with an
average elevation of 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) above mean sea level merges
into the plateau of Surguja district of Chhattisgarh. The flat topped plateaux,
locally known as pats are characterized by level surface and accordance of
their summit levels shows they are part of one large plateau. Examples
include Netarhat Pat, Jamira Pat, Khamar Pat, Rudni Pat etc. The area is also
referred to as Western Ranchi Plateau. It is believed to be composed of
Deccan lava).
Now lets come to the second part. How is Pat or Patland plateau different
from normal ones ?

Mesas fall under the category of Dissected plateaus i.e plateaus formed by
the continual denudation of high and extensive plateaus. When the lava
plateaus were dissected, we got patland.
Other types of plateaus i.e. Normal plateaus may include
Tectonic plateaus which are formed by earth movements. For example,
the Deccan Plateau. Or
intermont plateaus like the Tibetan Plateau between two fold
mountains, the Himalayas and the Kunlun. Or
exclusively volcanic plateaus like the Snake Plateau, Columbia.
13.In exclusive economic zone (EEZ) is a sea zone prescribed by the United
Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea over which a state has special
rights regarding the exploration and use of marine resources, including
energy production from water and wind.[1] It stretches from the baseline out
to 200 nautical miles (nmi) from its coast. In colloquial usage, the term may
include the continental shelf. The term does not include either the territorial
sea or the continental shelf beyond the 200 nmi limit. The difference between
the territorial sea and the exclusive economic zone is that the first confers full
sovereignty over the waters, whereas the second is merely a "sovereign
right" which refers to the coastal state's rights below the surface of the sea.
The surface waters, as can be seen in the map, are international waters.
Generally, a state's EEZ extends to a distance of 200 nautical miles (370 km)
out from its coastal baseline. The exception to this rule occurs when EEZs
would overlap; that is, state coastal baselines are less than 400 nautical miles
(740 km) apart. When an overlap occurs, it is up to the states to delineate the
actual maritime boundary.[3] Generally, any point within an overlapping area
defaults to the nearest state.[4]
14.A state's exclusive economic zone starts at the landward edge of its territorial
sea and extends outward to a distance of 200 nautical miles (370.4 km) from
the baseline. The exclusive economic zone stretches much further into sea
than the territorial waters, which end at 12 nmi (22 km) from the coastal
baseline (if following the rules set out in the UN Convention on the Law of the
Sea).[5] Thus, the EEZ includes the contiguous zone. States also have rights
to the seabed of what is called the continental shelf up to 350 nautical miles
(648 km) from the coastal baseline, beyond the EEZ, but such areas are not
part of their EEZ. The legal definition of the continental shelf does not directly
correspond to the geological meaning of the term, as it also includes the
continental rise and slope, and the entire seabed within the EEZ.

magnesium carbonate, ideally CaMg(CO3)2. The word dolomite is also used

to describe the sedimentary carbonate rock, which is composed

predominantly of the mineral dolomite (also known as dolostone). It is
magnesiums ore
21.India has the second largest road network in the world.
22.Old No NH7 (Varanasi-Kanyakumari/Commorin NH) covers a large part of N-S
corridor and at 2369 km, is the longest NH of India. It runs through runs
through the states of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra,
Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. NH6 (Hajira-Kolkata
NH) is 2nd longest NH at 1949 km. It passes W to E wise through Gujarat,
Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, WB
23.National Highway 47A, which starts from NH 47 at Kundannur, is the shortest

24.Burhanpur is a mid-size city near Godavari or Narmada river? in Madhya
Pradesh state, India. It is the administrative..Royal bath or hammam Shahi
qila Burhanpur. Burnpur is an important industrial town in Asansol in the state
of West Bengal, India . It is located in Bardhaman District, in the heart of the
mining-industrial belt. Established as an industrial enterprise in 1918, IISCO
produced iron from an open-top blast furnace at Hirapur (later to be called
Burnpur) in Asansol, West Bengal
25.Effective management and long term conservation of Greater One-horned
Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) may in future take benefits of a
multidisciplinary approach, including the use of molecular tools in genetic
monitoring of natural populations. For the first time in the history of Greater
One-horned Rhino census, advanced genetic tools have been used in
Gorumara National Park of West Bengal, India. As part of a project undertaken
by Aaranyak with financial support from Asian Rhino Project, Australia, dung
DNA analysis based techniques have been used to determine minimum
number of rhinos present in Gorumara and to understand the contemporary
extent of genetic diversity in the population.
West Bengal is now home to the second highest population of the one-horned
rhinoceros in the country after Assam, with the number growing to 250 in the
State.
A State Forest Department survey in January has revealed that the Jaldapara
National Park in the State has nearly 200 of these endangered animals and
the Gorumara National Park, 50. Jaldapara now has the second highest
population of them after the Kaziranga National Park in Assam, which has
over 2,000.
Jaldapara recorded 186 in the previous survey in 2013 and Gorumara 46 in
2014, V.K. Sood, Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife), North Bengal, told
The Hindu on Thursday.
Describing the rise in the rhinoceros population as a major success, Forest
Minister Benoy Krishna Barman said the State had just 20 of these animals in
1990. From 20 in 1990 to 250 now is a major feat. This is the result of
conservation efforts and [work of] our local communities, Mr. Barman said.

Admitting to incidents of poaching, the Minister said the State had set up a
new body involving personnel of forces such as the Border Security Force and
the Shashatra Seema Bal. The rhino habitat is on the borders with Nepal and
Bhutan.
Reports showed at least five incidents of poaching in north Bengal in the past
year. The State Wildlife Board has suggested that forest guards be issued
shoot-at-sight orders, but the government has so far not agreed to it.
Experts point out that the rhino population has a skewed male-female ratio
2:1.4 in Gorumara.
The State government has set up a new body to tackle poaching. Through
strict protection, this species recovered spectacularly during the last century
in both India and Nepal a great success story in rhino conservation. For
example, Kaziranga celebrated its Centenary in 2005 with at least 1,700
rhinos (70% of the worlds population; 85%, of Assams), while smaller
Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary in Assam has a secure and growing population of
about 100. Indian Vision 2020 targets to take their numbers at India to 3000
from current 2000+.
