Assessment of water level and climate change on Mandakini river in Chitrakoot, Uttar Pradesh
Abstract
The UN conference on human environment organised in June 1972 was first event to raise issue of environment at global platform. Although fifty years have passed after that global conference, Consequences of environmental degradation continue to haunt the human population in the form of climate change and global warming.
Climate change involve long term changes in temperature and weather pattern of an area. Due to climate change, river are facing extreme water stress from place of origin of river to mouth of river. The water stress in the river has its impact on ecosystem stability, forest regeneration, agricultural growth and distribution, Tourism activity across the river and livelihood of people.
Mandakini river also known as Paisuani River originates from Khillora near Pindra village, Majhgawa, Satna, MP.

Overpopulation Risk Management: Strategies for Sustainable Development
Abstract
Overpopulation poses a multifaceted risk to global sustainability, manifesting in resource depletion, environmental degradation, and socioeconomic instability. This paper explores diverse strategies for managing overpopulation's risks to facilitate sustainable development. Drawing on extensive literature and empirical evidence, it evaluates policy interventions, technological innovations, and behavioral modifications aimed at mitigating overpopulation's impacts. Key areas of focus include enhancing access to family planning services, promoting education, fostering economic development, and implementing environmental conservation efforts. By adopting a holistic approach that integrates multiple strategies, policymakers can address overpopulation while fostering equitable and sustainable development. Policy interventions encompass measures such as improving access to family planning services, implementing education and awareness campaigns, providing economic incentives for population control, and developing immigration policies. Technological innovations offer promise through advancements in contraceptive technologies, remote healthcare delivery systems, and sustainable agriculture practices. Behavioral changes, including challenging cultural norms and empowering women, are essential components of effective overpopulation management. Case studies such as China's One-Child Policy, the Kerala Model, and Bangladesh's success in family planning provide valuable insights into the efficacy of various approaches. Challenges include socioeconomic barriers, cultural resistance, and political constraints. Looking ahead, integrated approaches, technological advancements, and global collaboration are crucial for effectively managing overpopulation's risks and promoting sustainable development. This paper contributes to the discourse on overpopulation risk management, offering actionable insights for stakeholders committed to addressing this critical global challenge.

Crop Combination Regions in Etah District: A Geographical Analysis
Abstract
The research of the cropping pattern in the study area indicates that Kharif, which is also referred to as summer monsoon crops, are usually sown in June or July and reaped in October or November. Rabi crops, in contrast, refer to winter season crops that are sown in October or November and reaped in March or April. Collectively, these two categories of crops encompass over 98 percent of the whole cultivated land, leaving virtually no space for Zaid crops, which are cultivated from March to June. Practicing the simultaneous cultivation of many crops on the same piece of arable land, also known as combination crops, and harvesting them in succession is a highly intriguing part of cropping patterns.
The district's administrative subdivisions consist of five Tahsils, namely Etah, Kasganj, Patiyali, Aliganj, and Jalesar. The Etah district comprises a total of 15 Blocks, namely Kasganj Amapur, Sahawar, Soron, Shitalpur, Sakit, Nidhauli Kalan, Marehra, Patiyali, Sidhpura, Ganjdudwara, Aliganj, Jaithra, Awagarh, and Jalesar.
The analysis of the land area in the Etah district is mainly influenced by the interaction between physio-economic parameters, which are obtained from the general land use pattern, and the historical and current form of land use in different categories. This analysis also considers the economic value generated by each category of land. The agricultural farms in the Etah district constitute the main economic aspect of land usage in the district, as evidenced by observations. Therefore, it is inevitable that the importance of the land use region discussed in the subsequent paragraphs will be assessed based on the economic circumstances.

A study of Tourism potentials in Little Andaman Islands of A& N Islands, India
Abstract

It is possible to characterize the Little Andaman Islands as the southernmost portion of the Andaman group of islands. It is well-known for the coastline beaches and natural water falls that are located on the islands, as well as the tribal beauty region, which is off-limits to visitors from outside the area.
Among the numerous hidden locations of interest, there are many places where a tourist can relax in the heart of the forest, take a cool bath in the spring, enjoy the catching of local fish at a village fishing point, and many other things such things. At times of the monsoon season, etc.The objectives of the study have been formulated for the purpose of identifying tourist spots in the islands. These objectives include the following: to list out various hidden spots of the area; to discover different potentials of the selected tourist spots and areas; to discover the problems of potential tourist spots; to make suggestions for the proper implementation of the plans for the places; to contribute to the development of the places; and to explore the possibilities in the islands that are outside of the region. For the purpose of investigating the tourists who are stationed on the island, data is obtained from a variety of sources. For the most part, secondary data is utilized in order to acquire information on a big scale, whereas primary data is utilized to a lesser level.

जनसंख्या प्रवास प्रतिरूप एवं आर्थिक परिवर्तन: कुमाऊं मंडल का एक भौगोलिक विश्लेषण
Abstract
भारत के उत्तरी भाग में स्थित उत्तराखंड राज्य का निर्माण 9 नवंबर 2000 को हुआ था इस राज्य की भौगोलिक दृष्टि से विशेष स्थलाकृतिक विशेषताएं हैं। जिसके आधार पर इस राज्य को 2 मंडलों गढ़वाल एवं कुमायूं मंडल में विभाजित किया गया है गढ़वाल मंडल में 7 जिले हैं जबकि कुमायूं मंडल में कुल 6 जिले शामिल हैं। उत्तराखंड राज्य सबसे तेजी से विकास करने वाले राज्यों में से एक है। कुमाऊं क्षेत्र के पहाड़ी जिलों में लम्बे समय से प्रतीक्षित विकास ने इन जिलों के विकास को कुमाऊं क्षेत्र के अन्य मैदानी जिलों की तुलना में पीछे धकेल दिया है। इसके परिणामस्वरूप इन जिलों से प्रमुख कार्यबल का लगातार पलायन हुआ है, जिसमें बड़े पैमाने पर इन क्षेत्रों के पुरुष, युवा शामिल हैं। इससे इन जिलों की अर्थव्यवस्था पर दबाव पड़ा है। कुमाऊं क्षेत्र के पहाड़ी जिले मुख्य रूप से कृषि पर निर्भर हैं, उद्योगों की स्थापना मुख्य रूप से क्षेत्र के दो मैदानी जिलों में हुई है, जो इस क्षेत्र में प्रवास का प्रमुख कारण है। पलायन का प्रमुख कारण कुमाऊँ क्षेत्र के पर्वतीय क्षेत्रों में स्वरोजगार के अवसर प्रदान करने के लिए सरकारी पहल की कमी, पर्यटन और कृषि को बढ़ावा देने में विफलता है। अधिक आर्थिक अवसरों से लाभान्वित होने के लिए कुमाऊं क्षेत्रों में शहरों की ओर प्रवास सबसे अधिक दर्ज किया गया है।
