Transboundary elephant raids: Farmers in Bhutan leave croplands fallow
GUWAHATI: Farmers in Bhutan and India tend to leave their croplands fallow, fearing raids by elephants driven out of their natural habitats owing to anthropogenic or human-caused activities. Data on farmers on the Indian side of the boundary between the two countries abandoning their fields is not available. A report in Trumpet, a quarterly journal of the Wildlife Institute of India, said 30% of their counterparts in Bhutan leave their land fallow, fearing crop damage. The report cites a 2024 study revealing the scale of the challenge in Bhutan's Sarpang Forest Division, where more than 40% of the households reported experiencing human-elephant conflicts (HEC). 'Alarmingly, 30% of farmers leave their land fallow, fearing crop damage. Elephants primarily raid maize and paddy, which are the most widely cultivated crops, but cash crops like areca nut, oranges, ginger, and cardamom have also been targeted. The cultivated area for maize and paddy was large as compared to other crops, resulting in the maximum incidence of crop raiding by elephants,' the report said. The authors of the report are Ugyen Tshering, an officer at Bhutan's Jomotsangkha Wildlife Sanctuary; Sonali Ghosh, the Director of Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve; and Rupali Thakur and Anukul Nath of the Assam Forest Department. According to its national elephant survey in 2016, Bhutan has an estimated 678 elephants primarily inhabiting the southern foothills bordering Assam and West Bengal. While these animals are integral to the region's biodiversity, their presence increasingly comes at a cost to local communities, with HEC causing economic strain and social stress, particularly for farmers in southern Bhutan. Joint Assam-Meghalaya hydropower project opposed 'Farmers in Sarpang have observed a steady rise in elephant incursions, a trend likely driven by forest degradation and fragmentation, which push elephants into human-dominated areas. Yet, a significant number of conflict incidents remain unreported,' the report says. One of the factors behind under-reporting is said to be religious beliefs rooted in Bhutanese culture, which encourage compassion toward wildlife. 'Local communities in Sarpang have predominantly relied on traditional mitigation measures, including keeping night vigils, making fire, and beating drums. However, many farmers view electric fencing as the most effective solution,' the report says, pointing out that only 0.65% of the affected farmers in Sarpang could afford electric fences. Compared to their counterparts in Bhutan, more farmers in India – specifically Assam's Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) – are opting for electric or solar-powered fences and bio-fences, which involve growing 'elephant-repellent' cash crops such as lemon and chilli around rice and vegetable fields. The study attributes this to support from local governments and NGOs. Regional soft diplomacy HEC results in about 300 human and 200 elephant deaths in India every year, apart from damage to about 15,000 houses and 8-10 million hectares of crops. One of the major critical stretches is along the BTR-Bhutan border, more than 250 km long. During the late 1980s, present-day BTR experienced a severe socio-political crisis arising out of the Bodoland statehood movement, devastating the infrastructure of the region and causing large-scale destruction of the wildlife and its habitat, specifically the Chirang-Ripu Elephant Reserve and the adjoining Manas Tiger Reserve. Asiatic wild dog returns to Assam's Kaziranga landscape The extent of the damage was evident from the eastern part of this landscape in 2009, when 14 people and 10 elephants died in conflicts. The study calls for promoting 'regional soft diplomacy by promoting multi-stakeholder groups such as the Trans-boundary Manas Conservation Area, a Bhutan-India collaborative initiative established in 2011 to address protected areas and biological corridors along the border between the two countries. The study advocates exploring and implementing a variety of community and household-based protection measures, including cooperative crop guarding and fencing. 'Creating awareness and educating communities on the importance of elephant conservation should be initiated by officials from protected areas and other environmental and educational agencies,' it says. It also underlines capacity building and law enforcement. 'The officials and local teams on both sides of the border can be jointly trained to enforce the law and also maintain relevant databases. Illegal activities that result in elephant mortality can be prevented by such joint enforcement,' the study says.

Silk Sarees Are Forever, But Only If You Care For Them The Right Way
Preserving these drapes may sound challenging, but with a care, mindfulness, and a few simple maintenance tips, your favourite silk sarees can remain pristine for generations. Silk sarees are not just garments, they are timeless treasures in our wardrobe. Whether it's the grandeur of Banarasi silk, the regal elegance of Kanchipuram, the earthy charm of Assam silk, or the vibrant beauty of Bomkai — each weave carries centuries of tradition, heritage and craftsmanship. These sarees often hold more than just aesthetic value. Some might be your very first silk saree, others may carry the soft scent of your grandmother's wardrobe, or perhaps a cherished piece from a special place or celebration. The memories stitched into them are endless. But while they lend us ageless grace and sentiment, they also demand delicate care in return. Preserving these drapes may sound challenging, but with a little love, mindfulness, and a few simple maintenance tips, your favourite silk sarees can remain pristine for generations. Dry Cleaning Is A Must Avoid washing your silk sarees at home. Always opt for professional dry cleaning, especially for sarees with zari, embroidery or vibrant dyes. Store It Right Never wrap silk sarees in plastic. Instead, use breathable cotton or muslin cloth to cover them. This allows the fabric to breathe and protects it from moisture and dust. Refold Every Few Months To prevent permanent creasing or fabric wear, refold your silk sarees along different lines every few months. Keep It Safe, But Skip the Naphthalene Avoid mothballs or naphthalene, which can damage silk. Choose safer alternatives like neem leaves or silica gel pouches. Iron with Care Iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side. Use a thin cotton cloth on top if needed to avoid any direct heat damage. Extra Care Tips For Silk Sarees You love: Every Silk Saree Is Different When it comes to maintaining a silk saree, understanding the fabric is the first step. For instance, mulberry silk—famous for its natural shine and soft texture needs to be handled with extra care. Even a slight stain or rough wash can dull its sheen. On the other hand, tussar silk, with its coarse and textured feel, is a bit more forgiving but still requires gentle handling. Then there's Kanjeevaram silk, the heavyweight queen of bridal sarees. Its rich weave and zari borders must be stored flat and properly folded to preserve its structure and prevent the zari from getting crushed or oxidised. And like these saree's the examples are countless. Handle With Extra Care While Travelling If you're travelling with a silk saree, especially for a wedding or festive occasion—rolling it instead of folding can help avoid stubborn creases. Wrap it in a soft cotton cloth or place it in a breathable garment bag to reduce friction and keep the weave safe. It's always best to carry your silk saree in hand luggage rather than checked baggage to protect it from being mishandled. Draping Even the way you wear your saree can affect its longevity. Using soft, well-fitted petticoats made from satin or cotton-silk blend can help reduce friction against the inner surface. And while safety pins may seem like a quick fix to secure pleats or the pallu, they often leave tiny holes or tear the delicate threads, especially in lighter silks. Instead, explore alternatives like saree shapewear or fabric-friendly pleat holders to keep everything in place without damaging the fabric. A little attention to these details can go a long way in ensuring your silk sarees remain just as graceful and glorious as the first time you wore them.

Daily mock tests to prepare Class X, XII GCC students
Chennai: To increase the pass percentage of Class X and XII students in govt schools across the city, officials have decided to offer them one-mark and two-mark questions for practice every day. "An executive meeting, involving top authorities will prepare questions and circulate it to schools. Headmasters and assistant headmasters have been tasked with ensuring students go through these questions on a daily basis. The move is intended to get students accustomed to the syllabus and learning on a daily basis," chief education officer A Pugalendhi told TOI. Assessment exams will be conducted monthly for students to identify "slow learners," who will then be offered special training. Steps have also been taken to focus on schools that recorded a lower pass percentage in this year Class X and XII results. "A block-level analysis will be done, and schools will be identified. Headmasters and assistant headmasters of such schools will be provided counselling and tips on dealing with students, ensuring that they pass," Pugalendhi said, adding that these steps would be vigorously pursued in the next two to four months to ensure strict adherence. State Platform for Common School System general secretary and educationist Prince Gajendra Babu, however, contends that a mark-based approach towards education will set a bad precedent. "This approach is akin to the one followed by private schools. The right approach will be to make students realize the importance of education. That, in turn, will automatically reflect in the pass percentage. Besides, govt schools must first offer facilities to students on a par with private schools. That must be the primary focus, instead of striving for a 100% pass rate," he said. In this year's SSLC (Class X) and Higher Secondary (Class XII) results, in terms of district-wise performance of govt schools, Chennai ranked 37 with a pass percentage of 82.84 and 35 with a pass percentage of 87.86, respectively.
