Jatryabhai and his family lived in the village of Khedi in India. A dam was being constructed on the river near their village, which would flood the area. The government relocated Jatryabhai's family and other villagers to a new village called Sinduri. However, life in Sinduri was difficult due to poor conditions and lack of opportunities. After several years of struggling, Jatryabhai moved his family to Mumbai in search of better prospects, though adjusting to city life brought new challenges.
Farmers are facing difficulties in harvesting and selling their crops due to restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Wholesalers and retailers are also struggling with interruptions to their businesses. Small shop owners who rely on daily sales to office workers have not been able to open for three weeks. They are experiencing financial hardship with little income but still needing to pay rent and support their families. There is a lack of government assistance for these small businesses and street vendors.
Nutrients are chemicals in food that are necessary for organisms. Plants get nutrients through photosynthesis using carbon dioxide, water, sunlight, and minerals to produce carbohydrates and oxygen. Nutrition refers to how organisms take in and use food. Plants are autotrophic and make their own food through photosynthesis while fungi are saprotrophic and feed on dead and decaying matter. Some plants like pitcher plants are insectivorous and feed on insects to fulfill their nitrogen needs. Parasitic plants feed on other organisms called hosts. Symbiotic relationships benefit both organisms such as lichens where algae provides food and fungi provides shelter.

Settlements are places where people build homes and have historically grown near rivers for access to water and fertile land. Settlements can be permanent or temporary depending on if they are occupied short or long-term. Transport is how people and goods move and includes various modes like roads, railways, waterways, and airways with each best suited to different distances and loads. Communication allows conveying of messages to others through mass media like newspapers, radio, and television.

The document discusses various groups in India that have organized and fought against discrimination and inequality. It provides the example of the Tawa Matsya Sangh, a federation of fishermen's cooperatives in Madhya Pradesh that advocates for the rights of forest dwellers displaced by the construction of the Tawa Dam. The group organized protests to demand fishing rights in the reservoir, which they were eventually granted by the government in 1996. The document also briefly mentions other struggles for equality and justice faced by beedi workers, farmers, slum dwellers, and more.
The document summarizes the story of Tommie Smith and John Carlos, two African American athletes who raised their fists in a black power salute during the medal ceremony at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. It discusses their protest against racial discrimination in the United States and how they drew international attention to the civil rights movement. It also mentions that Peter Norman, a white Australian athlete, wore a human rights badge in solidarity with Smith and Carlos during the ceremony.
The document discusses notable buildings, paintings, and books from ancient India. It describes the Iron Pillar at Mehrauli, which is over 7 meters tall and made over 1500 years ago without signs of rusting. It explains stupas, large mound-like structures containing Buddhist remains, with examples at Sanchi and Amravati. Hindu temples from the period worshipped deities like Shiva and contained areas for rituals. The Ajantha caves held Buddhist monasteries decorated with paintings. Famous books included Tamil epics like Silappadikaram and Sanskrit works by authors like Kalidasa.
They enjoy the wild fruits. They look for birds, whose calls they imitate. Joining them in all this fun is their favourite didi – Suryamani. Every Sunday Suryamani takes the children to the forest.
As they move around, she shows them how to recognize the trees, the plants, and animals. Children enjoy this special class in a forest! Suryamani always says, “To learn to read the forest is as important as reading books.”
This document discusses water as a precious natural resource. It describes the water cycle, including evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. It also outlines the three states of water as solid, liquid, and gas. The document further details the main uses of water, which are agricultural (70%), domestic (8%), and industrial (22%). Some key conservation methods mentioned are fixing leaks, recycling water, improving irrigation, and rainwater harvesting.

The document summarizes information about the Golconda Fort located in Hyderabad, India. It was built by the Kakatiya dynasty in 1143 and later ruled by the Qutub Shahi Sultanate from 1518 to 1687. The fort has thick walls with 87 bastions and guns/cannons for security. It was a source of the famous Kohinoor diamond.
This document discusses the history of women's rights and education in India. It provides examples of several pioneering women who fought against stereotypes and social norms to promote women's education and empowerment. These women include Laxmi Lakra, the first female train driver in India; Pandita Ramabai, who advocated for women's education; and Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, who wrote one of the first works of science fiction by a Muslim woman. The document also outlines how women's literacy and school enrollment rates have increased in recent decades but still lag behind men, with social and economic barriers preventing many girls from getting an education.
Land, soil, water, natural vegetation, and wildlife are important natural resources. Land covers 29% of the Earth's surface and is unevenly distributed worldwide due to differences in characteristics and climate. Soil is formed through weathering and influenced by parent rock and climate factors. It is degraded through processes like erosion, but conservation methods like contour farming and shelter belts can help protect it. Water is essential for life but most is saline or locked in ice sheets; only 1% is accessible as freshwater in rivers, lakes, and groundwater. Natural vegetation and wildlife exist within ecosystems and depend on each other for survival.
This PPT will take you into the forest and tell you about the variety of ways the forests were used by communities living within them. It will show how in the nineteenth century the growth of Industries and urban centers created a new demand on the forests for timber and other forest products. New demands led to new rules of forests use, new ways of organizing the forests. All these developments affected the lives of those local communities who used forest resources. They were forced t operate within new systems and reorganise their lives. But they also rebelled against the rules and persuaded the state to change its policies. Will give you and idea of the history of such developments in India and Indonesia.
Ruskin Bond's short story "The Adventures of Toto" follows the mischievous antics of a monkey named Toto. The narrator's grandfather buys Toto from a tonga driver and brings him home, keeping him hidden at first from the grandmother. However, Toto escapes and wreaks havoc, tearing the wallpaper and the narrator's blazer. He is then transferred to a cage with other animals, though he continues to cause trouble. The grandfather takes Toto on a train trip but he pops out of a bag, startling the ticket collector. Eventually, Toto's mischief becomes too much and the grandfather sells him back to the original tonga driver.
The document discusses two major river basins - the Amazon Basin and the Ganga-Brahmaputra Basin. The Amazon Basin covers parts of South America and is home to the dense Amazon rainforest, which contains a diverse array of flora and fauna. The Ganga-Brahmaputra Basin lies in the Indian subcontinent and is drained by the Ganga and Brahmaputra rivers and their tributaries. It contains plains, Himalayan foothills, and the Sundarbans delta and experiences a monsoon climate. Major cities in the basin include Kolkata, Patna, and Varanasi.
A SEED TELLS A FARMER’S STORY - ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES CBSE-VBIOLOGY TEACHER
I am a small seed!
I am a small bajra seed. I have stayed in this beautiful wooden box since 1940. I want to tell you my story. This is a long story but not mine alone. It is also the story of my farmer Damjibhai and his family. If I do not tell my story now, it might be too late!
I was born in Vangaam in Gujarat. That year there was a good bajra (millet) crop. There was a festive mood in the village. Our area was famous for its grain and vegetables. Each year Damjibhai kept aside some seeds from a good crop. This way our bajra family went on from one generation to another. Good seeds were stored in dried gourd (lauki ) which was coated with mud.

Hunter-gatherers lived in the Indian subcontinent two million years ago. They hunted wild animals, caught fish and birds, and gathered fruits, roots, nuts, seeds, leaves, stalks, and eggs for food. They moved from place to place in search of food and water sources and to hunt animals. Archaeological evidence of early hunter-gatherer sites are located near river valleys and include stone tools, cave settlements, and rock paintings. Stone tools were used to cut meat and bone, scrape bark and hides, chop fruits and roots, make spears and arrows, and construct huts and other tools.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
