 Abstract

The most common form of human communication, comprising of structured and conventionally used words delivered through speech, writing or gesture are called language. A language is a device that establishes sound- meaning correlation, pairing meaning with signals to enable people to exchange ideas through observable sequences of sounds"[Ronald W. Langacker, language & its structure, 1967]. The sweetness of any language can be understood from the way it is spoken. The language of the Indigenous of Tripura theirs is known as Kokborok. The origin of the word Kokborok is derived from the combination of two words 'Kok' and 'Borok'. Literally, Kokborok means, "Language of the people or community" so the word Kokborok stands for humans language. Kokborok is spoken in the Indian state of Tripura. It belongs to the Tibetan-Burmese wide group of language and more precisely to the Bodo- Garo Subgroup. This Language has several dialects and sub- dialects. At the time various British Political Agents, District Officers, Sub- Division Officers were known as linguists - they called this language as Tipperh, Tipura, Tipra Language. So far, the term Kokborok is known first occured as 'Kok- boro' in 1897/98 in an early primer on the language, Daulat Ahmed 'Kokboroma. In 1900, Thakur Radhamohan Debbarma spelt 'Kokborok' in a published grammar of the Language.

 Abstract

This paper critically examines the role of Neo neoliberalism in shaping environmental policy and its implications for sustainability. Neo neoliberalism, characterized by a blend of market-oriented principles and state intervention, has emerged as a dominant approach to addressing environmental challenges within the context of globalization and economic liberalization. Drawing on theoretical frameworks from political economy, environmental governance, and sustainability studies, this paper seeks to unpack the tensions and contradictions inherent in Neo neoliberal approaches to environmental policy. The paper argues that this approach gives rise to a sustainability dilemma, wherein short-term economic interests often take precedence over long-term environmental sustainability goals.

 Abstract

The term "misinformation" refers to the passing of wrong/incorrect information within the social network of humans. In the contemporary lingua, it is referred to as "fake news". This social phenomenon has historical roots, with different forms of expression in the larger social at different times in history. However, we shall particularly investigate its contemporary manifestation in the Indian social context. With the advent of information and communication technology at a large scale in the 21st century, and even further to present-day (rapidly evolving) artificial intelligence, the extent of geospatial and diverse (in terms of the targeted audience) outreach of fake news is increasing day-by-day. The Indian society, being so complex and diverse both in qualitative and quantitative aspects has given this phenomenon fertile grounds to proliferate. Evidently, we can observe the manifestations of misinformation and disinformation in the various dimensions of Indian society, namely political, economic (financial), cultural (including religious matters) and so on.

 Abstract

The utilizing of iron fillings in concrete as a partial replacement of sand is attaining enormous significance nowadays, mostly because of improvement in strength of concrete and environmental benefits. The aim of study is to assess the possibility of applying iron waste in different percentage (20%,25%,30%,35%) as fine aggregate replacement of sand to increase the strength of concrete. For this purpose, the mix proportion was designed as M20 (1:1.5:3) for giving the compressive strength. To achieve the goal of study, laboratory experiments, compressive strength and split tensile strength were conducted to determine the influence of iron filling sand the strength of concrete. As the result, Higher content of iron fillings particle replaced in concrete increases workability of concrete. Using iron fillings with 35% of replacement of fine aggregate gives the higher strength than normal concrete mix. Addition of iron fillings in concrete increases the strength characteristics of concrete.

By displacing areas of vegetation with residential and commercial sectors, as well as the associated infrastructure, the expansion of urban areas has a substantial impact on land use, which raises adverse impact on urban ecology. The goal of this study is to look into how changes in land use and land cover in Berhampore town over the past two decades have been impacted by urban growth. The normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI), and normalised difference water index (NDWI) maps were additionally made using Landsat8 Operational Land Imager. The spatial expansion of built-up areas of Berhampore town is estimated as 26.46%, 37.46% and 57.16% in 2000, 2020 and 2023 respectively of the total geographical area. The case study presented in this research would help urban planners estimate urban expansion under various land cover features and, as a result, prepare appropriate strategic actions.

 Abstract

This analytical study is an attempt to project the interrelationship of language skills that is usually seen singly. Through a long-observed classroom experience and real-life interaction, it must be pronounced that language skills do have complimentary attributes for harmonious production, reception and function of language acts. It is found that the basic skills of any language - L S R W have their own individual stand with their respective sub-skills; but, when we perceive language as a whole production of certain basics, we can apparently assert how one skill affects the other and consequently to another and the other ways round. Therefore, their relationship cannot be separately seen rather intertwiningly as a whole.

Hamen paryaavaran sanrakshan ke prayaas ke saath hee saath vikaas ke lie bhee prayaas karana hoga, lekin saath hee sampannata kee hod mein praakrtik sansaadhanon ka andhaadhudh dohan bhee rokana hoga. Isee andhaadhudh dohan ke kaaran hee vanon ke vinaash se mausam-chakr mein parivartan hua hai aur jal satah neechee ho gaee hai. Manushy ke laalach ke kaaran samudr na keval pradooshit hue hain, unakee praakrtik sampada bhee dheere-dheere nasht ho rahee hai. Ojon parat ke naash se vaataavaran ko gambheer khatara bana hua hai. Bhoomi kee utpaadakata ghatatee ja rahee hai. Aane vaalee peedhee ko kya ham yahee uttaraadhikaar mein pradaan karenge.
