Social Transformation among the Nagas in Assam: A Case Study in Sivasagar District

Contemporary society, irrespective of the levels of development, is surely a rapidly changing society. Such changes have been observed in a variety of directions. In a developing country like India, one can notice such changes occurring in society at various historical periods producing diverse consequences. One of the catching points in this context is that the forces and factors those are considered to be responsible were identified in numerous ways which vary from one geographical region to another and from one socio-historical setting to another. This is very much applicable in a society like India because Indian society in general and the society of northeastern region, in particular, have witnessed such events and historical sequences since ancient period. Historians, social analysts, and scholars who have taken interest in characterizing northeastern region and its society was seen to agree to conceptualize that it is a land of contrasts.

Spectral Amplification Factors of Indian Earthquake Ground Motion

The successful working of this network. The strong ground motion database considered in the present work consists of various earthquakes recorded in the northern part of India. As laid the foundation of Earthquake Early Warning System (EEW) in India. Strong-motion data from various regions of India have been used to study attenuation characteristics of horizontal peak acceleration and velocity. It is observed that the bedrock motions with low amplitude produce high amplification factors while high amplitude bedrock motions produce low amplification factor.

The study set out to investigate the role of internal control system in the performance of co-operative banks in India. Specifically, the study sought to establish the effect of control environment on the performance of co-operative banks. To achieve the objective of the study an empirical study has been applied. For the collection of data, a questionnaire has been designed and circulated among 217 respondents. The study found a significant relationship between control environment, control activities, monitoring, and performance of co-operative banks.

A Brief Study of the Changing Nature of Indian Foreign Policy

The foreign policy of a country is the sum total of the principles, interests, and objectives which it seeks to promote through its relations with other countries. Preservation of national interest, achievement of world peace, disarmament, independence for Afro-Asian nations has been important objectives of India’s foreign policy. INDIA'S foreign policy between 1947 and 1964 was conceived almost entirely by one man - Jawaharlal Nehru. The systemic constraints on India’s foreign policy stemmed from the onset of the Cold War which virtually coincided with India’s independence in 1947. In the parliamentary election of March 1977, Indira Gandhi was defeated but while addressing the nation, Janta Party leader Morarji Desai as Prime Minister stressed to follow same policy on external issues. The changes in Indian foreign policy are based on India's aspirations for great power status and coincide with, or at least follow the Indian economic reforms since the 1990s. One of the successful achievements the Indian policymakers achieved was 123 Agreement which signed between New Delhi and Washington. The Narendra Modi-led government which came into power in 2014 has accorded high priority to India’s Look East Policy. He made known to the world that India is not merely ‘Looking East’ but is now ‘Acting East’ as well, thus, revising the title to ‘India’s Act-East Policy’. The themes of greater connectivity, stronger cooperation, and broader contacts dominate India’s engagement with its neighbors today.

Evaluation of Post Disaster Mitigation Strategy of Bhuj Earthquake

The Bhuj earthquake 2001 caused many property losses and life losses.so The re-construction and re-habitation work to be carried out in this paper carry out studies about what is the evaluating strategy conducted in Bhuj Earthquake. A number of new activities and initiatives have been possible due to the enhanced level of awareness and interest caused by this earthquake. After this earthquake, the earthquake codes are developed and the construction of earthquake-proof building comes into existence in an evaluation of post-disaster mitigation collect the data about the seismic hazards, exposed to hazards in terms of life loss, property loss, and business and vulnerability assessment. For finding out the solution follow the method like structural, locational, operational and risk transfer. Then carry out the estimation of potential losses in particular area and examining alternative loss reduction techniques, which involves identifying the effectiveness of each alternative in reducing losses and the associated cost. There is the different strategy and methods are used in reconstruction work of Bhuj Earthquake. The awareness of the people about the disaster mitigation is developed by the awareness programs by the government and different authority.
