incidence of forest fire in the district here due to burning of Mahul leaves is
a cause of concern for the environmentalists and officials. The Mahul

Prabhat Mishra of RCDC, adding that the forest cover according to the Forest

locally known as Bhau Bilei, has worried many wildlife enthusiasts and
environment lovers. The cat was a part of folklore and while villagers slept in
the open, they often cautioned their children not to venture at night as wild
cat would carry them away to forest. Bhau Bilei used to be very notorious,
which was in the habit of taking away the villagers’ hens from their houses.</span></b><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

are believed to be responsible for the decline in wild cats. Most of the wild
cats give birth to babies in January and April in bushy areas. While many cats

temperature affects the cat’s mating process, which is another cause of its
decline, forest official sources said.</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

alerts issued daily, around 350 fire points are detected in the Balangir Forest
Division by satellite tracking. Forest official are on their toes to rise to
the occasion. The department is constrained by shortage of ground-level staffs
to deal with the situation. It has become common for locals to witness forest
fires in Mathkhai, Chandali and nearby forests and mountains at Ghat along the
Balangir-Patnagarh road since last week. Trees in the Balangir forest shed
their leaves by the month of February. The fallen leaves serve as a
major cause of aggravating forest fire further.The burnt forest surface tells a
tale. On Saturday night, there was a major fire in the aforesaid area, said a
local, who frequently visits Patnagarh.</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

situation of forest fire in Odisha, especially in the context of this having
happened at greater frequency in the months of February. Forest fire in Odisha
usually occurs from March to May.</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

the forest fire started from mid of February and the huge forest fire in the
Similipal Biosphere reserve captured the attention of the national and
international media with Odisha topping the list of forest fire incidents in
the country. According to the Forest Survey of India (FSI), at least 5,291
forest fires were recorded in Odisha between February 22 and March 1, the
highest in the country for the same period. Forest and Environment Minister
Bikram Keshari Arukh informed the State Assembly recently that since January
this year till date ( March 24, 2021) 23,473 fire incidents have been reported
in the State devouring about 159 square km of forest.</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

and enviornment kept their opinions as to how to effectively deal with the
forest fires. Incidents of forest fire are increasing. Explaining the various
causes, Prabhat Mishra told how community members have been traditionally
proactive on reporting and putting out forest fires in association with workers
of the Forest Department. Forest fires are more prominent in deciduous
forests and maximum number of incidents occurred in south Odisha, opined RCCF
BrahmspurManoj Mahapatra. He called upon all stakeholders to cooperate in
preventing and mitigating forest fires. Mahapatra pointed out how the
department was taking note of community efforts and providing incentives
to encourage positive changes. He sought cooperation of all to fight forest
fire effectively.</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

on the climatic factors that could be driving the fires, said Barna Baibhav

as an essential resource particularly as modern life is moving away from nature
towards artificial goods like plastic and proper marketing of MFP could reverse

alerts issued daily, around 350 fire points are detected in the Balangir Forest
Division by satellite tracking. Forest official are on their toes to rise to
the occasion. The department is constrained by shortage of ground-level staffs
to deal with the situation. It has become common for locals to witness forest
fires in Mathkhai, Chandali and nearby forests and mountains at Ghat along the
Balangir-Patnagarh road since last week. Trees in the Balangir forest shed
their leaves by the month of February. The fallen leaves serve as a
major cause of aggravating forest fire further.The burnt forest surface tells a
tale. On Saturday night, there was a major fire in the aforesaid area, said a
local, who frequently visits Patnagarh.</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

taken up by both the State and Central Governments, thousands of migrant
workers and their children including infants and adolescents faced a lot of
hardship. During the first wave of the pandemic, around 10 million migrant
workers were traumatised and suffered massively due to the lockdowns. The
Supreme Court in April directed all States to inform about the number of
migrant children and their condition on a petition seeking directions for the protection
of Fundamental Rights of migrants' children amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. The
Covid-19 pandemic forced the authority to close schools and the system of
imparting education was changed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

WhatsApp and web-based education were the options. As children of seasonal
migrant workers in normal times spend half of their life in movement from
source to destination, there is always a problem of enrolment and retention
among them. The pandemic situation further added to their vulnerabilities.
Migrants' children are disadvantaged in terms of enrolling and attending
school, and are at a lower grade for their age with the disparity deepening
with age progression. The Covid-19 has immensely affected the education of
these vulnerable children. These children not only were excluded as usual but
lost education both at source and destination. The second wave of Covid
pandemic forced their migrant parents to take them along from place to place.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

kilns in Patna, Hyderabad, Bhubaneswar and Chennai and 27 construction sites in
Hyderabad it was found that a majority of migrating parents are
from Odisha (52 parents) followed by Telangana (23 parents) and Bihar (18 parents).
Rest were from Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Maharashtra. The school
going age children was 56% out of 213 children there. 79per cent migrant
parents informed that closure of schools due to Covid-19 compelled them to
bring their school going children with them and only 11per cent of the parents
said that since there was no one to take care of the children at the village,
especially the girl children, they had to bring them with them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

migrant children this year than the previous year. 49per cent of children were
in the age group of 6-14 years who migrated along with parents this year. The
reasons for the rise in the number of migrant children to worksites were
closure of village school, lack of safety for girls and closure of seasonal
hostels. Besides, a majority of migrant children don’t have access to online
classes. "I have been migrating to brick kilns for the last two

family. However, there was no facility of education available in the worksite
and my children have not received any education since I arrived," said

carry mobile phones to work sites, children could not avail the facility during
the day time, not to mention those who are without it. More interestingly,
other parents said they did not want to put additional burden on buying internet
data. However, some parents lamented that even after their return they could
not enrol the children in school "I could not enrol myself in the school
as the school was closed," said Jharana Sahu(15) of Matiabhata village in
Khaprakhol block. "I had gone to brick kiln with my parents and after my
return I could not enrol myself in school as the school is closed for last two
years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

class," said Jharana.According to the survey, 56% of parents said they
left most of their children with the grandparents. 30% did it with
relatives while only 2 % of parents left their children in seasonal hostels
initiated by the Government."All schools at the source should create a
comprehensive database of migrant children and never enrol children and other
school dropouts and a special drive for reintegration of migrant children into
the education process at the source be initiated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

remedial classes at the households for children to prepare for
re-schooling," said programme manager, Aide et Action, Bhubaneswar, Saroj
Barik. Moreover, the administration should take steps to accommodate the
returnee migrant children and stop them from re-migrating again in the next
upcoming migration cycle through expansion of seasonal hostels, opined Barik.
Director of Migration and Education,Aide et Action International Umi Daniel
said effective functioning of mechanism for interState coordination for migrant
children’s education is badly required.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

systematically excluded from accessing the online classes and various
Government entitlements like Mid Day Meal(MDM), text book, uniforms and other
financial support should be provided with all facilities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

those migrating out should be provided education,care and protection at
the destination States. Those who are recruited as child labourer at the source
be prevented, rescued and effectively rehabilitated. A comprehensive migrant
child monitoring and tracking drive should be undertaken as soon as possible,
Daniel emphasized.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

a brick-and-mortar storage facility with a covering on top. It works on the
principle of evaporative cooling and does not require any utilities /
electricity <b>except watering once in a day</b>. The cooling
chamber temperature is lower than the ambient temperature by a margin of 5-15°C
(depending on ambient relative humidity) and maintains a high relative humidity
of above 85-90% inside the cooling chamber. The low temperature and high
humidity inside the chamber preserve the vegetable crop for five to eight days.

must set a goal of zero fires in forthcoming times. This was among the
important views emerged in a webinar on forest fire held recently, organised by
the RCDC and the Odisha Commons Exchange.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

motto was to understand the present situation of forest fire in Odisha,
especially in the context of this having happened at greater frequency in the
months of February. Forest fire in Odisha usually occurs from March to May.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

much to the surprise of many, this year the forest fire started from mid of
February and the huge forest fire in the Similipal Biosphere reserve captured
the attention of the national and international media with Odisha topping the
list of forest fire incidents in the country. According to the Forest Survey of
India (FSI), at least 5,291 forest fires were recorded in Odisha between
February 22 and March 1, the highest in the country for the same period. Forest
and Environment Minister Bikram Keshari Arukh informed the State Assembly
recently that since January this year till date ( March 24, 2021) 23,473 fire
incidents have been reported in the State devouring about 159 square km of
forest.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the webinar, many experts on forest and enviornment kept their opinions as to
how to effectively deal with the forest fires. Incidents of forest fire are
increasing. Explaining the various causes, Prabhat Mishra told how community
members have been traditionally proactive on reporting and putting out forest
fires in association with workers of the Forest Department. Forest fires
are more prominent in deciduous forests and maximum number of incidents
occurred in south Odisha, opined RCCF BrahmspurManoj Mahapatra. He called upon
all stakeholders to cooperate in preventing and mitigating forest fires.
Mahapatra pointed out how the department was taking note of
community efforts and providing incentives to encourage positive changes. He
sought cooperation of all to fight forest fire effectively.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

process of approving individual and community forest rights should be stepped
up to enthuse the community to do more and the process of CFR management should
go a long way in protecting and conserving forests, pointed out Satya Pattnaik.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

was of the opinion that capacity of all stakeholders must be strengthened and
coordination must improve to address the menace.As per the satellite data,
forest fire clusters are developing in certain pockets of Odisha and it is
important to keep watch on them. He dwelt on the climatic factors that could be
driving the fires, said Barna Baibhav Panda The Forest Department continues to
look upon the forest as a production unit.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

should change its stance and concentrate on conservation of forests with an eye
towards enriching the livelihoods of the forest dwellers, said Gitanjali Sahoo,
adding that the State must strengthen the Forest Department and enhance
coordinated efforts.Forests are vital and all the inhabitants of the Earth
should think of themselves as one community and look after the welfare of
forests, said Nibedita Dash.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Odisha excelled in achieving zero casualty in the disaster management like of
cyclone ,efforts of the State Forest Department should be to achieve the goal
of zero fires, opined Dr Ambika Nanda.The Forest Department should engage and
involve youths in mitigating forest fires, besides sensitizing the women on
forest fire and its prevention, opined Kailash Dash.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

is moving away from viewing forests as an essential resource particularly as
modern life is moving away from nature towards artificial goods like plastic
and proper marketing of MFP could reverse the stance, said Kulamani Sahu.There
is the need for a long term plan to mitigate forest fires keeping in view
the impacts of climate change.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

is also a need to renew the interests of the community in forests and ensure
their rights over resource. The community is best managers of forests and
traditional ways of forest management must be renewed, said Pradeep Brahma.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

relocation of Tiger in other areas, Dr Bilal Habib stressed the need for “maintaining
grassland and herbivores” and habitat connectivity for better conservation of
Tigers. And this should be done with more involvement of local for better Tiger
conservation, opines Dr Bilal Habib further.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The present scenario
calls for production of biofuels using green technology. The term biofuel
is referred to as liquid or gaseous fuels that are predominantly produced from
biomass. Biofuels are important because they can replace petroleum based fuels.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Biofuels are generally
considered as offering many priorities, including sustainability, reduction of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, regional development, social structure and
agriculture, and security of energy supply, says Dr Sanjib Kumar Karmee, Principal
Scientist and Head of Thermo-Chemical Conversion Division Sardar Patel
Renewable Energy Research Institute Anand,Gujarat.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">In the above context,
biomass, in particular forestry (sawdust) and agricultural wastes, are best
sources to meet the energy demands of the future as it is not only renewable
but also environmentally friendly ,says Dr Karmee further.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The energy obtained from
biomass is used mainly for heat production, electricity, and as liquid fuels
for vehicles. Various advanced technologies have been developed to obtain
biofuels and chemicals from biomass, which include the hydrothermal process,
pyrolysis and combustion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Pyrolysis of biomass is
one of the most efficient technologies used to produce biofuels. The process is
carried out at elevated temperatures under an inert atmosphere which is
maintained using either argon or nitrogen gases. The process generates bio-oil,
biochar (solid), and pyro-gas (gaseous products), explains Dr Karmee further.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">To conduct pyrolysis
experiments the Sardar Patel Renewable Energy Research Institute has designed
and developed a new pyrolysis plant to produce biofuels from saw-dust and agro
residues. A team led by Odia Scientist Dr Karmee has demonstrated
that biomass can be successfully converted into biofuels using both batch and
pilot scale system. The newly developed pilot system has important industrial
significance since it can operate at 15 kg/hr scale. The results of these
experiments are published in the Fuel journal (Elsevier), informs Dr Karmee
further.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
