Subject: Next-gen rice farming: ways to achieve food, nutritional and economic security under changing climatic conditions
Keywords: Alternate wetting and drying, digital farming, farm mechanization, precision irrigation, system of rice intensification.
Abstract: The present rice cultivation systems face challenges of low production, water scarcity, shrinking cultivable land area due to degradation and urbanization, labour shortage, diminishing soil health, climate change, greenhouse gas emissions and low income for farmers. Changes and/or modifications are thus necessitated in rice production to feed future generations. The aim of next-gen rice farming is to provide food, nutrition and economic security, as well as climate-smart solutions to safeguard ecosystems while using better tools and techniques, improved cultivars and management practices. To achieve these, there is a need to develop suitable farm mechanization for small-sized fields, precision (sensor-based) water-saving irrigation methods, greater input use-efficient systems, digital farming considering soil health improvement and proper utilization of rice straw. Next-gen rice farming should be taken as a business opportunity for the youth to earn more income and must be supported by a favourable Government policy.

Subject: A voice for the Great Nicobar Island, India
Keywords: None
Abstract: The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are important centres of endemic biodiversity in India. They have been the home to primitive human tribes for thousands of years. The southernmost Great Nicobar Island is known for its biogeographic affinity to Indonesia. A large part of this island is a biosphere reserve recognized by UNESCO. A plan to urbanize a part of this island after clearing lush tropical rainforests has been a matter of concern. While development is not altogether a bad idea, it has to be done with greater sensitivity towards the fragile ecosystem of the small island and its original inhabitants. The vulnerability of this island and an alternate model of development are discussed here.

Subject: Cultivating knowledge: the importance of integrating agriculture and farming education in Indian schools
Keywords: None
Abstract: Amidst climate change and sustainability concerns, the imperative for agricultural education arises from the renewed focus of modern society, nature, agriculture and nutrition. Spanning primary to tertiary levels, this education encompasses diverse subjects. Elementary education instils fundamental concepts, while vocational programmes groom students for agricultural careers. At the college level, the emphasis shifts to teaching and research. Integrating agriculture into Indian schools yields multiple advantages, including enhancing fundamental life skills, nutrition comprehension, environmental consciousness and STEM education. Consequently, students are equipped with indispensable knowledge and skills, paving the way for a sustainable future in the ever-evolving world.

Keywords: None
Abstract: A one-day consultative meeting on collaborative strategies for managing aquatic biological invasions was held last year. The study of biological invasions has gained significance due to their imminent threats, coupled with the limited existing research output in this field in India. This is even more relevant in aquatic ecosystems because of their vulnerability to biodiversity threats and deep connection with the livelihood of people and the economy. Considering these factors, the one-day consultative meeting was aimed at bringing together experts, researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders from different parts of India to exchange knowledge, discuss challenges, and explore effective strategies for managing and mitigating the impacts of aquatic invasive species.

Subject: Passive solar-heated buildings across the Trans-Himalayan region
Keywords: None
Abstract: The Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh, India, renowned for its altitudinal gradient and rugged topography, is characterized by frigid climatic conditions, particularly during winter when the air temperature often plummets below –30°C. The inhabitants of these areas confront formidable challenges stemming from the relentless cold, which significantly impedes their daily activities. The fundamental concept of thermal comfort, pivotal for establishing conducive conditions for human habitation and functionality, is paramount in these landscapes. However, the uncompromising cold disrupts this equilibrium, making even routine tasks difficult. To combat the extreme winter conditions of this region, communities traditionally rely upon indigenous biomass energy sources such as sheep dung, cow dung, local bushes and shrubs (Salix and Juniper spp.) for their cooking and heating requirements, resulting in substantial localized carbon emissions.

Abstract: Albinism is a hereditary physical trait inherits through a recessive gene from parents to their offspring (van Grouw, 2006). Such trait causes hypopigmentation on the animals' eyes, hair, skin or integuments controls by the functioning of the Tyrosinase enzyme and the presence of Melanin pigments, which generally comes in two ranges, i.e., Eumelanin (responsible for dark brown, black, and dark colour) and Pheomelanin (light reddish tan and white colour) (Marcon and Maia, 2019).

Abstract: The word 'Kangla' means dry land in Manipuri or Meetei language. Kangla fort or Kangla place is a symbol of Manipur's glory. It is an ancient capital of Manipur, situated in the heart of city Imphal, close to the bank of Imphal river. It lies in between 24° North latitude and 94° East longitude, measuring area of 236.84 acres. According to Singh (2017) the Ningtouja dynasty, who ruled the 1st century A.D. in Manipur, played an important role for the growth and development of the Kangla palace. The Layout of the Kangla fort depicts a system of concentric enclosures acting as protective barrier to the palace building at the heart of the enclosure. King Khagemba (1597-1652) ordered the construction of a brickwall on the western side of the Palace.

Subject: Intraspecific Variability of Fibre Dimensions and Tissue Proportion in Medium Density Hardwoods: An Analysis
Keywords: Wood Density, Hardwoods, Medium Density, Tissue Proportion, Intraspecific.
Abstract: The present study provides an inclusive scrutiny of wood anatomy with special reference to tissue proportion and fibre quantitative features of 80 hardwoods falling in medium density category. Wood density range of a tree species is a phylogenetically conserve feature however, it shows great flexibility in tissue proportion among samples according to different environment for better survival. The results showed that no single wood element (tissue) is responsible for increase or decrease in wood density, rather wood density is controlled by all the wood elements. A compensating behavior of the various tissues can be seen to keep the wood density same by changing mean tissue proportions and fibre quantitative characters. The intraspecific variations in mean tissue proportion can be attributed to the differences in the environmental conditions like annual precipitation, altitude, latitude, edaphic factors etc. at different localities. These might be the factors leading to the adaptations in trees by changing their tissue proportions.
