Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) is under siege

souce: Times of india

Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR), a pristine and unique eco-system situated in Chandrapur district, is one of the few success stories for ‘Project Tiger’. The reserve, a major source of tiger population and endowed with rich biodiversity, is virtually under siege.

Tadoba is a major breeding centre for tigers and
leopards. It virtually supplies big cats to all major forests and habitats in the region. For this to happen, there must be corridors allowing the movement of cats into other forest areas. Thanks to growing villages and development projects, these corridors are getting blocked.
The big cats are already blockaded from South-West direction towards Agarzari and Padmapur due to extensive mining projects, with more projects proposed. In this direction, they run into a major city like Chandrapur. In fact, they have sometimes come even up to Chandrapur and made human and cattle kills. The spill-over tigers and leopards from Kolsa range presently use forest corridor towards south-east

i.e. Rajoli and Mul.
The threat to 625-sq km TATR has increased following clearance to 25-year-old Human river irrigation project by the apex court recently. Studies and records show that the spill-over tiger and leopard population of Tadoba cannot migrate towards north-west due to a cluster of small villages (Shegaon, Ashta, Wadala, Mudholi etc.). They prefer the narrow forest corridor from Sirkada-Shivni-Naleshwar while migrating towards Bramhapuri Division. The Human dam reservoir will block (see map) the corridor.
The ‘bottleneck’ forest corridor from Palasgaon (Sirkada) to Shivni would go under submergence of the project. New proposals of mines like Adani Power Project for coal blocks at Lohara, 9.8 km from TATR boundary, and Maharashtra State Mining Corporation Limited (MSMCL) at Agarzari, 3.2 km from Tadoba, are raising their heads threatening the very existence of the reserve. The MSMCL has sought nine compartments and has asked them to be deleted from TATR buffer zone.
Warns wildlife conservationist Kishor Rithe, “If these proposed projects come up, Tadoba will lose its impor
tance. The spill-over tiger/leopard population will try to either disperse or intrude in the fringe villages like Ashta, Wadala, Navegaon, Khadsingi, Kolara, Sitarampeth, Mudholi, Ghosri and many others. It may also affect towns like Sindewahi, Chimur, Mul and Chandrapur in the near future. The damage would be far more than what you see now. Last month, a tiger killed a woman near the Rangers College, which is hardly three kms from Chandrapur.”
Rithe, who heads the Satpuda Foundation, said the Human dam clearance has now added to the worries of these 52 villages situated on the fringes of TATR. The state government and the irrigation department would be held responsible for if attacks on humans and cattle increase. Already, these villages put huge biotic pressure on the reserve. No prizes for guessing who will be the loser. Eventually, human beings will eliminate the hemmed in tigers.
According to Debi Goenka of Conservation Action Trust, Mumbai, “Instead of conserving tigers, the government itself is pushing through coal mine projects and the Human dam which

will severely impact their habitat. With this, TATR will become an island of green surrounded by brown activities. This is happening when we all agree that protecting corridors is an important issue in tiger protection.”
Goenka said tigers were moving out of TATR into adjacent forests, which are themselves under severe biotic pressure.
In such conditions, mananimal conflicts would only flare up. The logical way of resolving this would be to increase the areas under protection and try to reduce the activities that disturb wildlife. Precisely the opposite is being done.
Meanwhile, a scientific study by city-based Tiger Research And Conservation Trust (TRACT) headed by Harshawardhan and Poonam Dhanwatey has photographic and physical evidence of presence of large carnivores (tigers, leopards, sloth bears) and other small carnivores like (dholes, hyenas, jackals, jungle cats, rusty spotted cats, ratels, ruddy mongoose) in the area marked for submergence. The landscape also supports large herbivores like gaurs, sambars, chital, barking deer, four horned antelopes and many reptilian species.

WHAT IS TATR
TATR was created in 1995. The area of the reserve is 625.40 sq km. This includes Tadoba national park, created in 1955 with an area of 116.55 sq km and Andhari wildlife sanctuary created in 1986 with an area of 508.85 sq km. The reserve is constituted with 577.96 sq km reserve forest, 32.51 sq km protected forest and 14.93 sq km other areas.

MIHANS PROGRESS IS ON ITS PEAK !

Though investors may be going slow, Maharashtra Airport Development Company building city’s ambitious Mihan seems to be going full speed ahead with developing infrastructure there.
MADC is in the process of finalising a deal with Europe’s biggest hotel chain— Accor—for setting up three and four star hotels within the SEZ.
Besides 50 other companies in the process of investing in Mihan, Accor is negotiating a land deal with Mihan to set up the hotels.

Mihan flying high despite downturn

“Besides having 50 companies already in the process of investing in Multimodal International Hub Airport at Nagpur (Mihan), we are negotiating a land deal with Accor for hotels. We have already awarded a contract for setting up 2500-bed hospital to Johns Hopkins, a globally-acclaimed health services provider from US,” revealed Abdul Abid Ruhi, project manager, MADC.
The reason, as Ruhi puts it, the cost of the land in SEZs in Nagpur, considered the tenth economically fastest growing urban centre of India, is half that in metro cities like Mumbai. “In the financial meltdown, tier-two cities like Nagpur will thus be benefited as compared to the metro cities like Mumbai,” he added.
Sources said Mantri Realty, building a private SEZ close to Mihan, is also separately negotiating deals with Biocon, another reputed name in biotech and pharma, and Satyam, a well-known software institution. Shrikant Laddha and Rupesh Mowade, President and project manager for Mantri Realty’s private SEZ, said though they were going slow in construction due to economic slowdown, top ban
ners like Biocon and Satyam were negotiating with the company for setting up their units. Besides, there have been 20 fresh inquiries for buying land. Mantri’s Rs 600 crore SEZ is coming up with its first phase of Rs 100 crore with five iconic buildings over 44 acres.
According to Ruhi, as of now there were no indications of putting on hold the construction plans by major investors. “Satyam will start construction by February next year while SICAL Logistics will begin work on its project from January 2009. Developments by L&T are also expected soon,” reveals Ruhi and his Chief Engineer colleague S V Chahande.
He said that the quota of land reserved for IT companies in Mihan was almost over. “But recently four inquiries for buying land in non-IT sector were made by companies in Kolkata and Mumbai,” Ruhi, who looked elated after answering frequent calls from Mumbai and Kolkata, said.
MADC superintending engineer S K Chatterjee said companies like DLF, Shapoorji Pallonji Info City, TAL Manufacturing Solutions Ltd (which makes parts for Boeing’s Dreamliner) and Caliber Point have maintained their pace of developments.

Nagpur univarsity gets first German graduates in 30 yrs

source :TOI
Five girls students of the department of linguistics, foreign and Indian languages (DLFIL) have managed to do what no one has been able to for 30 years. They have cleared the BA (additional) German literature, an examination that was instituted in 1978 by the Nagpur University.
Priti Chhabra, Kalyani Tatke, Neha Rawal, Geeta Pitale and Sampada Apte were beaming when TOI met them on Thursday. All are past students of DLFIL and the first four are now serving in the same department.
“It’s indeed a proud moment for us as our students managed to pass the examination with flying colours,” a beaming head of department P D Nimsarkar said.
He added that the course was introduced in 1978 by the late Pramod Deo, who was reader and lecturer for German language in the DLFIL. According to Nimasarkar,
the achievement is all the more commendable as no regular teachers or guidance were provided to them while preparing for the exam. “All of them have achieved success with their sincerity, dedication and commitment,” Nimasarkar informed.
Former student and teacher of this department, Sunita Gaikwad who was the motivating force for these girls and one who actually guided them to have a go at the exam, told TOI that since the German literature examination was very tough only a handful of students actually attempt it.
‘Foreign languages in demand’
Nagpur: The course for German literature was less popular among students as the eligibility for appearing in the examination is the three-year higher diploma in German language from any university, informs head of the department of DLFIL P D Nimsarkar. “Initially, foreign languages were not so popular. Students who were interested were not keen to move to higher diploma or above level, and hence existence of a course like German literature was not known to students. However, things have undergone a change and foreign languages are sought after by students right from their schooldays,” he said.
“Basically, German grammar is one of the
toughest among all foreign languages. Moreover, it’s a three-year course crammed into one year, hence students find it little tough to study,” says Sunita Gaikwad, former student and present German teacher of the DLFIL.
Preeti, the seniormost student, said that it was the support of teachers S Natarajan and MKN Yenkee that helped them clear the hurdle in the first attempts. “Initially, the course seemed tough. Course material was not available too. Moreover, we were working women. But we decided to give it a shot. We collected notes from the internet and old books, and also studied together,” she said. Kalyani said the studies helped them to learn the intrinsic nature of the language and they would now be teaching their students in the department.
