The scope for domestication of a NTFP depends upon various factors. Of the several factors, profitability is a major factor for inducing farmers to adopt the NTFP crop. The case study here reveals that profitability of Bamboo is very high and crop is financially feasible even at very high discount rates. This is especially true for Kartus variety and some progressive farmers have already adopted it in Gujarat. In addition to profitability factor, other socioeconomic factors are believed to be favourable to the domestication of Bamboo as an agroforestry crop in the region. Bamboo agroforestry is not yet popular in Gujarat but it holds a better promise. Furthermore, to establish it as an agroforestry crop, more local research is needed; in particular, that related to the agronomical and socio-economic aspects of the crop. The local and international organizations can think of supporting and promoting this venture.- Global Income and Employment Generation Impacts of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) and their Poverty Mitigation Potential: Reflections Based on Worldwide Evidences

Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) generate sizeable magnitudes of income and employment in different parts of the world for the tribal and poor people. The evidence is based on the review of past studies across different continents. The study presents a collective evidence for the role of NTFPs in the economy of poor and downtrodden. NTFPs should be used as instrument for engendering economic development in low and underdeveloped sectors of the world.Keywords

The extraction of non timber forest products in the world has increased rapidly during the last two decades as markets for these products has developed internationally. As a result, a large number of NTFPs have been extracted beyond sustainable limits. Frequent occurrences of unsustainable extractions is challenging the old thinking that harvesting of NTFPs should concur to the sustainable forest management. This study assesses the global impacts of extraction practices in general with special focus upon India. A new thinking is needed to tackle the non-sustainability of NTFPs due to over-extraction. The study suggests a remedial policy framework for India to be adopted with stringent requirement for making harvesting decisions.Keywords

A study was made in the industrial areas of Balrampur where the effluents from a sugar mill were polluting groundwaters. Physico-chemical and microbial analysis was conducted in groundwater samples. It was indicated that EC, TDS, total hardness, BOD, COD, calcium, potassium, bicarbonate, chloride and nitrate levels were on the higher side of permissible limit of WHO standards. Balrampur is regarded as a major industrial city knowing well for its sugar mill that is the largest sugar mill of Asia by the production point of view. Groundwater resources were found polluted by different inorganic and organic pollutants, which were discharged from sugar mill. Polluted groundwater may result in various health problems.- Water Quality Index of Groundwaters near Industrial Areas of Balrampur, U.P.

The paper deals with groundwater quality in nearby industrial areas of Balrampur city. The area has one of the largest sugar factories of India, i.e., B.C.M. Ltd. including one distillery unit and one power plant. Beside this, approximately 72 small and large scale industries are also present here. The groundwater samples were collected from three different sites having different depths. The physicochemical parameters like pH, TDS, dissolved oxygen, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, sulphate, nitrate and chloride were analysed and compared based on water quality index (WQI). This determines the water quality for various purposes like irrigation and potable purpose. The result indicates poor status of water. Comparative study of the three different sites indicates that the groundwater nearly industrial areas of Balrampur city is not suitable for human and cattle cunsumption.- Physico-Chemical Characteristics of River Rapti Nearby Industrial Areas of Balrampur, Uttar Pradesh, India
