Use of different plants for medicinal purpose is very common among the tribal communities of various regions of West Bengal. Tribals depend on herbal medicines for curing various gynecological disorders. Tribal women do not approach physicians due to lack of awareness and shyness or hesitation. Present paper deals with some indigenous medicinal plants used for treatment of various gynecological disorders by tribal women of Birbhum district (Bolpur subdivision), West Bengal. These plants are enumerated with binomial names, family, vernacular names, parts used and ethno medicinal uses by different tribes. Further studies on chemical and pharmacological actions are suggested to validate the claims.Keywords

The present work is devoted to investigate mechanical properties viz. compressive and impact properties of date palm Fibre Reinforced Polyester (FRP). Date palm fibre is found around date fruits and at the bottom of each leaf, that is used as fuel in rural areas. Premier grade industrial Isophthalic polyester resin is used as the matrix. Date Palm Fibre is chemically treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for better adhesion. Results reveal that with an addition of fibre content, the compressive load bearing capacity increases. However, impact strength is not significantly increased with fibre content. Low to medium impact composites can be developed by date palm FRP. This investigation is expected to assist making FRP commodity with reduced cost utilizing agricultural waste.Keywords
