The wall of the main street of DK G Area, Mohen jo Daro partially deformed, due to the torque effects this is studied here on a lateral cross wall in the chief house. Furthermore, the resulting behaviour of the bucking wall demonstrates the significant load-bearing capacity of the structure under service conditions and its high sensitivity to imposed changes of the geometry. Although the tensile stresses exceeded the flexural strength at the vertices and the length of the wall, hence both the geometry and condition of this area are critical for the safety of the wall. The results of this study can improve the assessment and thus help in the preservation of many important walls, in the DK Area.

The current research is conducted to explore accelerating agricultural trends in Pakistan by analyzing ancient Indus agricultural strategies and role of green revolution technology. Increasing population of the country demands increasing production of food self-sufficiency and this can be resolve through the concept of green revolution. In general, the green revolution depend on the use of machinery for cultivation and harvest, on large-scale agricultural enterprises with access to credit (often from foreign investors), government-supported infrastructure projects, and access to low-wage agricultural workers (Wright, “Downslope and North”, p. 38). In contrast of the concept green revolution, range of crops and variable strategies including multi cropping were used to feed different urban centers in ancient Indus. This has important implications for our understanding of the development of the earliest cities in south Asia, particularly the organization of labor and provisioning throughout the year (Feeding ancient cities in south Asia, C. A Petrie, J. Bates, T. Higham, R.N Singh) Another aspect from the agricultural strategies in Ancient Indus is that, In ancient Indus change in agricultural strategies suggest that it was result of cultural change. It is urged that there was decline in traditional crops which feed the large population centers, at the same time as the emergence of new agricultural techniques and crop plants that spurred the development of local, independent communities. Although explanations for these disruptions in agricultural base tend to be regional in nature, they point to widespread causes such as tectonic movement or changes in river patterns, resulting in flooding and sedimentation. Crop failure would have been followed by settlement abandonment. Population dislocations, disrupted trade networks and new agricultural strategy would have then produced new, localized political units (steven weber), Thus by the fusion of these both concepts agricultural trends in Pakistan can be accelerated.

The present paper aims to discuss the vowels, consonants and diphthongs of Maithili and English. It also explains some supra segmental features of English which causes problem for Maithili speakers of English and makes their speech unintelligible. Besides this it also tries to explain the interference of Maithili in the speech of Maithili speakers of English in Bihar and find out the growing trend of Maithili and English even in work place because of Maithili speakers loyalty to their language.

Keywords: Phonology, Mithila-Maithili, English, interference, consonants, vowels, pronunciation, intelligible.

Strategic protection of tourism assets is an applied approach to the destination in the post-COVID 19 period. Tourism banking can seriously address for promoting the widespread functions by offering creative product lines and services in such a new normal situation. Tourism activities need supports from the banking sectors to develop its own sub-sectors e.g., accommodations, transports, food, recreations, tourism intermediary activities, publications, tourism technologies, safety & security, events, and others. Tourism banking can be introduced with deposit, advance and other allied products. It can incentivize job retention, sustain the self-employed and protect the most vulnerable groups, support companies’ liquidity, review, charges, levies, and regulations impacting on tourism, ensure consumer protection and confidence. So, strong, and innovative banking system needs to develop for the new avenues of tourism.

Keywords: Tourism, COVID 19, recovery, innovative banking.

This paper aims at enriching the debate on aesthetics properties on the Chhau-Na?cha (dance) of Odisha. This traditional Chhau- Na?cha mostly based on the Ra?sa theory i.e., Vira (Heroic); and its old age tradition belonging to canons of Na?tyas?a?stra in rhythmic way. Man requires artistic skill to express his thought but proper modulation of artistic representation is necessary to make expressed thought precise and distinct. One performer could represent him/her in the way of demonstrate in the form of art i.e., dance or Na?cha/Na?ta. Dance consists of certain movements, certain prescribed gestures and postures of the body which are more capable of giving expression to human thought, than even language. Communication of thought through dance is even a better guide of human thought than through language. In Odisha the performance dance its related music, dramatic thought, is as old like its history. Numerous forms of histrionic arts which are deeply and intimately associated with the life of the people were evolved, natured and put into practice and then left to the posterity either to retain or forget. Through the passage of time many terms are must have perished away. All the form of art can survive only proper patronage but these are not possible every time and space. Chhau dance is basically a virile dance which demonstrates vim and vigour. It reflects a culture of strength with aesthetics.

A DOCTOR WHO TURNED THE AFGHAN DESERT GREEN: RECTIFYING INTERNATIONAL AID THROUGH “PURE EXPERIENCE”

This study examines the activities of Dr. Nakamura Tetsu—a humanitarian who served many years in Afghanistan, initially as a physician and eventually as the supervisor of a canal-building project. The project commenced in 2002 and restored greenery in areas affected by the Central Asian drought of 2000, which drove farmers away from their land to become refugees or mercenaries in armed conflicts. Nakamura thus addressed the root cause of the country’s worsening security situation and defied the following parameter of post-9/11 international aid to Afghanistan, colored by the US-led “War on Terror” stabilization agenda; this agenda was a futile attempt to bring the “backward” country into the light of a market economy and democracy, consistent with the liberal peace paradigm. In this study, the notion of “pure experience” propounded by philosopher Nishida Kitaro is drawn on to describe how Nakamura led his team to forge “productive” international–local relations—the mainstay of the local turn that has gained acclaim as an alternative to the liberal peace paradigm proliferating externally driven interventions. Nishida’s philosophy facilitates the explication of how Nakamura worked constructively with the people to turn the Afghan desert green, while arriving at a profound understanding of the on-the-ground realities.

This paper explores the status of input use in varied crops across farm-size in Bhopal District. The study is based on primary- data (2021-22). The status of Input use in varied crops comprises of labour use, machine- use, fertilizer- use, seed-use, irrigation-use and farm yard manure use. As the small and marginal farmers used more labours as compared to other farmers they used their own family members as labours because they cannot afford. They receive less profitability because they are not aware from the Government Schemes. Large farmers use less labours by using new technological machines, used for sowing, cultivation and for irrigation purposes.

Keywords: Input, crops, farm-size, Bhopal District
