The study of fish diversity was carried out from Namchik River, Changlang district Arunachal Pradesh during late winter, spring and early phages of monsoon of 2023 for 6 months. A total of 15 families and 10 orders were identified and recorded. The Cyprinidae family is recorded to be the most dominant followed by others. The biodiversity index using Simpson’s diversity of fish in the river shows 0.08. The ichthyofaunal IUCN status of Namchik River is found least concerned at 82%, near threatened at 9%, and endangered at 9%. To conserve fish biodiversity a framework module for conservational strategies is formulated with five phages covering all concerned stakeholders. The Five phages are I: Identification of resources, II: Potential Scope and role in conservation of resources, III: Common guidelines in collaborating strategies and goals by the resources, IV: Enrolment of the resources in the conservational program and V: execution of conservational framework for sustainable development with resources. A total of 4 resources are identified that can be enrolled for the execution of the Ichthyofaunal biodiversity conservation in the Namchik River of Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh.

Assam is blessed with an abundance of ornamental fishes in nature and contributes a major share of the total ichthyofauna in the North Eastern region of India. There is a vast potential for indigenous ornamental fishes in Assam. Awareness and documentation of these fishes is important for their conservation and systematic exploration which will ensure employment generation. In the present study, a total of 41 species belonging to 17 families and 7 orders were recorded in the Hahila Beel. The predominant orders were Cypriniformes, Siluriformes and Perciformes. The data to carry out the present study is based on both primary and secondary sources.

Orchids are one of the largest groups of Angiosperms belonging to the family Orchidaceae. They are no doubt one of the most beautiful and fascinating flowers of nature and are highly popular as ornamental plants in both national and international markets. Besides ornamental value, orchids have immense ethnomedicinal significance. In Assam, orchids have been associated with the culture of Assamese people since the past, especially in the traditional system of medicine used and described by the ethnic communities and tribes. The present paper emphasizes the medicinal uses of some of the orchids of Assam and their use for curing various ailments. However, with the advent of modern civilization and the lack of spread of proper ethnomedicinal knowledge, its awareness and beneficial values are slowly declining. Therefore, the preservation and conservation of these orchids by modern biotechnological approaches along with proper propagation of their ethnomedicinal values is necessary for their benefit to humanity.

Agriculture is the backbone of India’s rural economy. Sustainable agriculture needs to emerge at an accelerated pace integrated with technical and traditional knowledge. The advent of the concept of sustainable agriculture in the late eighties in the Indian agricultural scenario has evoked interest in indigenous traditional knowledge (ITK) that uses natural products to solve the problems pertaining to agriculture and allied activities. Since the past centuries, farmers have grown food and survived in harsh environments through the knowledge gained from their ancestors, where such a rich tradition of indigenous traditional knowledge has been interwoven with the agricultural practices followed by them. The northeast region is known for its rich natural scenic beauty, diversity, ethnicity, rare and unique wildlife, people, and culture. The traditional knowledge that the people possess in these regions is a precious resource that is shared through generations. However, such knowledge remains largely unreported, especially from the northeastern region, and has slowly been lost over time. Such knowledge needs to be harnessed along with some technical inputs to make sustainable development faster. There is a need to document and record such traditional knowledge which can act as a foundation for the creation of modern technology. This paper highlights the role and challenges of agriculture to the economy, the indigenous cultivation practices, and the traditional practices in Northeast India for sustainable agriculture.

The contributing factors to the overall improvement in photovoltaic efficiency are visible light absorption, enhanced dye absorption, rapid electron transport and minimal carrier recombination. To improve the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) capacity to harvest light focus is mostly placed on the synthesis of photoanode material. Photo anodes made of several metal oxide semiconductors, such as TiO2, ZnO, SnO2, Nb2O5, etc., have been used in DSSCs. The most suitable material for DSSC use is anatase TiO2 with a band gap of 3.2 eV that is chemically stable, non-toxic, and easily accessible. The synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles and their morphological variation are described in detail in the paper. The nanoparticles exhibit a tetragonal crystalline structure with lattice parameters a= 3.74 Å and b= 9.39 Å. The effect of sintering temperature on phase transition and on electrical properties affecting particle size and surface area is investigated and optimized. Characterization techniques including X-ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are employed to analyze the TiO2 nanoparticles. These techniques provide insights into the morphology and size of the coated TiO2 nanoparticles. The paper reports the effect of sintering temperature on the efficiency of the fabricated DSSCs. Additionally; it reviews recent advancements in TiO2-based nanomaterials, particularly through doping, to further enhance the efficiency of DSSCs. Overall, the study highlights the importance of optimizing the synthesis and properties of TiO2 nanoparticles for improved performance of DSSCs, and it discusses potential strategies for enhancing the efficiency of DSSCs through modifications in TiO2-based nanomaterials.

Good quality soil is very important for better productivity in the fish farm. Some areas of Khasi and Jaintia Hills District were selected to collect soil sample and analysed to check suitability for fish farming. The soil analysis of the selected areas reveals that soils are highly acidic in nature and deficient in available nitrogen and phosphorus. Proper treatment with lime, nitrogen and phosphorus based fertilizers are required to enhance the productivity of fish farm. Soil texture of the study areas was found sandy loam to clay loam which indicates suitability of the areas for construction of fish farm.

Indigenous traditional knowledge (ITK) has been in use different districts of Meghalaya and it is of different types. In West Khasi hills of district few important ITK is used especially in connection with fish. Besides ITK, bioresources are seen to play an important role in the lives of indigenous communities in Lai Lyngdoh area. The Lai Lyngdoh area in Nongstoin is a group of 34 villages that falls under the jurisdiction of the three Lyngdoh i.e. Marskuin, Nonglwai and Nongkhlaw located in West Khasi Hills District, Meghalaya. The locals in the area mostly depend on the surrounding environment for their livelihood. From the surrounding forests and forest streams, a variety of minor products are harvested and a number of edibles which include wild fruits, leafy green, wild vegetables, mushroom, fish, frog, crustaceans, tubers and medicinal plants are also gathered. Indigenous traditional knowledge (ITK) in the use of bio-resources is still preserved and practised in the indigenous communities and the documentation of local culture and knowledge will play an important role in conservation process. These resources, however, need to be valued and used sustainably so that they can continue to support the community.

The purpose of this study is to establish similarities between two ideas – a hypothetical thought experiment and a known fact. The study relies on the use of various functions to mathematically quantify the different components of the characteristic or voltage response curve and the operation of the gas-filled detectors. A thought experiment was created by taking into account an imagined particle to travel across space in specific ways. Here, a comparison was made between the characteristic curve and the imagined particle's locus.
