The Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 was enacted by the Indian Parliament to protect wildlife species in India. It established schedules of protected plant and animal species and outlawed hunting or harvesting these species. It provides varying degrees of protection based on schedules, with the highest penalties for offenses related to Schedule I and II species. The Act defines key terms and outlines prohibited activities like hunting. It has since been amended several times to strengthen protections and penalties.
The Wildlife Act was passed in 1972 to protect the wildlife and their habitats. The habitat destruction due to agriculture, industries, urbanisation and other human activities had led to the erosion of the country’s wildlife.

The Government of India accord "forest clearance" for operation of all "non-forest activity" in forest areas under the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980. Since wildlife is integral part of "forest areas", the impact of "non-forest' activity on wildlife is also assessed by the State Wildlife Boards and the Standing Committee of the National Wildlife Board.
The applicant seeking "wildlife clearance" under Section-38O(g), of Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 is required to submit proposal to Field Director or Divisional Forest Officer. The proposal is prepared after the "wildlife impact assessment" of the diversion area. The "wildlife habitat management plan" is prepared to mitigate the adverse impact of diversion area. Then this "wildlife proposal" is scrutinized at the level of Chief Wildlife Warden, State Government; State Wildlife Board and to the Standing Committee of the National Wildlife Board for final approval.
Central India is having "Tiger Reserves" and "Elephant Reserves" both. Even linear ancillary activities of mines - water hydro-structures, pipelines, transmission lines, tram lines, conveyor belts, coal handling plants, railway lines etc. adversely interact with the tiger and elephant corridors.
Thus "wildlife clearance" is necssary for operation of these mines.

Nature of offences for Wildlife Conservation in Indiarahulmonikasharma
The conservation of wildlife is a global priority with the survival of wildlife species largely dependent on habitats beyond political boundaries. India being situated in the tropical region harbors rich biodiversity with just 2% of the world's land area. India has a rich heritage of wildlife as well as a long history and tradition of conservation. India is home to a number of rare and threatened animal species, wildlife management in the country is essential to preserve these species. Indian mythology is equally profuse in references to our regard and love for wild animals. Different animals were associated with different Gods and were thus provided with religious sanctity and ensured conservation. In 1972, India enacted the Wildlife Protection Act and Project Tiger to safeguard crucial habitat; further federal protections were promulgated in the 1980s. The Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 is an Act of the Parliament of India enacted for protection of plants and animal species. The Act provides for the protection of wild animals, birds and plants. It extends to the whole of India, except the State of Jammu and Kashmir which has its own wildlife act. The main causes of extinction of wild lives are poaching. Enumerable animals and birds are hunted for meat, skin, ivory, horns etc. ruthlessly. Hence, National Wildlife Action Plan has been adopted in 1983 for wildlife conservation. Many sanctuaries and National Parks have been established for the protection of dwindling wildlife. Numerous wildlife conservation projects have been undertaken in India, both at the government at the individual level, to protect the rich wildlife of the subcontinent. Wildlife conservation involves both protection and scientific management of wild species and their environment. Some species have become extinct due to natural causes, but the greatest danger to wildlife results from the activities of man. There is a threat to wildlife and it requires attention to save the country from losing its green heritage. Conservation of wild animals is the social responsibility of every citizen of Indian in addition to that of the Government.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
