is a region of land or water that has been identified by UNESCO as having exceptional universal value due to its biological characteristics. UNESCO states that āBiosphere reserves are regions of terrestrial and coastal ecosystems that promote methods to reconcile the conservation of biodiversity with its sustainable use. They are recognized on a global scale, selected by national governments, and continue to be governed by the sovereign authority of the states in which they are found.
History :-
Two years following the launch of the MAB-Man and biosphere program, UNESCO published the network of biosphere reserves in 1971. These regions are associated with the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), according the law. In addition to preserving nature, Biosphere Reserves seeks to strike a balance between social, economic, and cultural development. The Biosphere Reserve is not, however, governed by any laws. The first Biosphere Reserves were created in 1979, and today there are 701 Biosphere Reserves spread over 124 nations, with 21 transboundary locations.
Structure :-
Core Areas
A Biosphere Reserveās Core Area is the most secure area and may contain indigenous species of flora and animals. It is the most suited place for a wide variety of plant and animal species, and it might also contain endemism centers. A core area is a national park or sanctuary that is governed by and protected by the Wildlife Act of 1972.
Buffer Zone
To put it simply, the buffer zone abuts or surrounds the core zone. The management of the activities and uses in this area contributes to the preservation of the core zonesā natural state.
Here, certain uses and activities are permitted to lessen their influence on the core zone, such as demonstrations, restoration projects to raise the value of the resources, tourism, limited recreation, grazing, fishing, etc.
Transition Zone
The Biosphere Reserveās most remote area is this region. The most permissive action to promote sustainable human and economic development is allowed in this area. This covers settlements, farms, and woods that have been managed for economic purposes.

India's Coast
The 7516.6 km long Indian coastline covers nearly 6100 km of the continentās land area, along with the islands of Andaman, Nicobar, and Lakshadweep. 13 states and Union Territories are located along Indiaās coastline.
The eastern coastal plains are situated along the Bay of Bengal, whereas the western coastal plains are along the Arabian Sea.
Kachchh and Kathiawar coast: The coasts of Kachchh and Kathiawar were created by the sediments deposited by the Indus River. Kachchh was formerly a gulf. During the monsoons, the Kachchh region is separated into the Great Rann in the north and the Little Rann in the east by shallow water. Kathiawar, on the other hand, is located south of Kachchh.
Konkan coast: It stretches from Goa in the south to Daman in the north. The two main crops in this area are cashews and rice.

was formed in 1599 through the royal charter . Queen Elizabeth I was authorizing it to trade in the East.
- Arrival of the British and the establishment of British East India Company was the outcome of the Portuguese traders who earn enormous profit by selling their merchandise in India.
- Queen was herself a share holder in the East India Company.
Expansion in West & South
- In 1608 AD, the East India Company sent Captain William Hawkins to the court of the Mughal emperor Jahangir to secure royal patronage.
- He succeeded in getting royal permit for the Company to establish its factories at various places on the Western coast of India.
- Then in 1615 AD, Sir Thomas Roe was sent by Emperor James I of England to Jahangirās court, with a plea for more concession for the Company.
- In the ensuing years the East India Company further expanded its base and flourished though it also faced challenges from the Portuguese, the Dutch and the French.
- The decisive moment came in 1662 AD, when Charles II of England married a Portuguese princess Katherine, and received the island of Bombay as dowry which he immediately gave to the East India Company in 1668 AD for 10 pounds per year.
- The Company on the West coast shifted its business headquarters from Surat to Bombay (Mumbai).
- In 1639 AD, the East India Company obtained the lease of the city of Madras from the local king where it built Fort St. George to protect its factory.
- Later Madras was made the South Indian headquarters of the Company.
Expansion in the East
- After establishing its factories in south and west India, the company started to focus on east India particularly Bengal a significant province Mughal empire.
- The governor of Bengal Sujauddaula in 1651 AD, allowed the English Company to carry out its trade activities in Bengal.
- A factory in Hugli was established and three villages -Sutanati, Govindapur and Kolkata- were purchased in 1698 AD by the Company to build a factory over there.
- Subsequently Fort William was raised in order to provide protection around the factory.
- The present day Kolkata grew and developed on this very site.

Ancient history /Art and culture
Brief outline about
Cholas were a powerful kingdom in the South of India, whose influence extended beyond their territorial domains.
Tamil culture and the arts also reached its zenith during the Chola reign
Rock edicts II and XII of Ashoka rare the earliest historical documents to refer to the Cholas.
Imperial Cholas (Period from c. 850 ā 1200 CE)
The Cholas are believed to have overthrown the Pallavas in south India
They extended their control in Sri Lanka and the Malay peninsula and are thus called āImperial Cholasā.
Thousands of inscriptions found in the temples provide detailed information regarding the administration, society, economy and culture of the Chola period.
The founder of the Imperial Chola line was Vijayala.
1)Vijayala -
Earlier, a feudatory of the Pallavas.
Captured Tanjore and built a temple for Durga.
He ruled over the region to the north of the river Kaveri.

3)Parantaka ā
He defeated the Pandyas and the ruler of Ceylon at the famous Battle of Vellur.
He suffered a defeat at the hands of the Rashtrakuta king Krishna ā
¢ in the famous battle of Takkolam
Parantaka ā
was a great builder of temples. He also provided the vimana of the famous Nataraja temple at Chidambaram with a golden roof.
The two famous Uthiramerur inscriptions that give a detailed account of the village administration under the Cholas belong to his reign.
4)Parantaka ā
”/ Sundara Chola
Invaded Sri Lanka and regained some parts of Tondaimandalam.
5)Uttama Chola
6)Rajaraja ā
/Arumolivarman (c. 985 ā 1014 CE)
It was under Rajaraja ā
and his son Rajendra ā
that the Chola power reached its highest point of glory.
his military conquests:
-The defeat of the Pandya ruler, Amarabhujanga and the establishment of Chola authority in the Pandya country
-The defeat of the Chera ruler Bhaskara Ravivarman in the naval battle of Kandalur Salai and the destruction of the Chera navy.
-The invasion of Sri Lanka which was entrusted to his son Rajendra ā
. As the Sri Lankan king Mahinda ā
¤ fled from his country, the Cholas annexed northern Sri Lanka.
-While he longed for ruling the entire Ceylon Island, the southern region of Ruhana remained beyond his reach, which was later successfully captured by his son, Rajendra.
-Another military achievement was a naval expedition against the Maldive Islands which were conquered.
The Chola victory over the growing power of the western Chalukyas of Kalyani.
-Hence, the Chola empire extended up to the river Tungabhadra.
-By his conquests, the extent of the Chola empire under Rajaraja ā
included the Pandya, Chera and the Tondaimandalam regions of Tamil Nadu and the Gangavadi, Notambapadi and the Telugu Choda territories in the Deccan and the northern part of Ceylon and the Maldive Islands beyond India
-He constructed the famous Rajarajeshwara temple or Brihadeshwara temple at Tanjore in 1010 CE. It is one of the largest temples in India and is an example of Dravidian architecture during the Chola period. The temple turned 1000 years old in 2010.
The temple is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the āGreat Living Chola Templesā, with the other two being the Gangaikonda Cholapuram and Airavatesvara temple
-He developed an advanced revenue system wherein the land was surveyed and then revenue was assessed. He was referred to as āUlagalanda Perumalā (the king who measured the earth
7)-Rajendra ā
(c. 1014 ā 1044 CE)
Rajendra ā
demonstrated his military capabilities by participating in his fatherās campaigns. He continued his fatherās policy of aggressive conquests and expansion.
During his reign, the whole of Sri Lanka was made part of the Chola empire.He reasserted the Chola authority over the Chera and Pandya countries.He defeated Jayasimha ā
” ā the western Chalukya king and the river Tungabadhra was recognised as the boundary between the Cholas and the ChalukyasHis most famous military enterprisewas his expedition to North India. The Chola empire crossed the Ganges by defeating a number of rulers on its way. Rajendra ā
defeated Mahipala ā
(Pala empire) of Benga
To commemorate this successful north India campaign, Rajendra ā
founded the city of Gangaikondacholapuram and constructed the famous Rajesvaram temple in that city.

8)Rajadhiraja
9)RajendraII
10)Virarajendra
11)Athirajendra
12)Kulottunga ā
(c. 1070 ā 1122 CE)
Kulottunga ā
sent a large embassy of 72 merchants to China and maintained cordial relations with the kingdom of Sri Vijaya.
He united the Vengi kingdom of Chalukyas with the Chola empire.
The classic writer Kamban (who wrote Ramayana in Tamil) was at his court.
The later rulers like Kulottunga ā
”, Rajaraja ā
”, and Kulottunga ā
¢ tried to maintain the Chola rule but it gradually suffered a downfall and came to an end in the 13th century. The Cholas were replaced by the Pandyas and the Hoysalas in the south, and of the later Chalukyas by the Yadavas and the Kakatiyas. These states were continuously in a state of war with each other and hence, weakened themselves. Finally, at the beginning of the 14th century, they were destroyed by the Sultans of Delhi.
Chola Village Administration
The Chola village administration had two types of assemblies.
Ur ā The general assembly of the local residents of non Brahmadeya villages.It is believed that members of the assembly were less than ten.
Sabha or Mahasabha ā Two inscriptions belonging to the period of Parantaka ā
found at Uttaramerur provide details about the formation and functioning of Sabhas
The Sabha was an assembly of Brahmans/adult male members in the agraharas i.e, rent-free Brahmadeya villages which enjoyed a large measure of autonomy.
Land revenue was the main source of income for the Chola empire and it was usually one-sixth of the produce. The revenue was collected by the village assembly and was paid in cash, kind or both.
The caste system was prevalent in the society and the condition of the Paraiyar (untouchables) was miserable.
The higher orders like the Brahamans and Kshatriyas enjoyed special privileges. The Chola inscriptions mention the major divisions among the castes:
-Valangai ā mainly artisans and trading class.
-Idangai ā mainly agricultural groups.
Under the patronage of Chola kings and queens, a large number of temples were built. Brahmana Sabha was involved in the management of finances and maintenance of the temples.
Brahmanism (Shaivism and Vaishnavism) continued to flourish during the Chola reign.
The economy was mainly agrarian ā reclamation of forest land, construction of irrigation tanks, expansion in the variety of crops led to agricultural prosperity
The industrial sector also witnessed a leap in the Chola period e.g, Kanchipuram emerged as an important weaving industry centre
The classic writer Kamban wrote Ramayana in Tamil.
The famous trinity of Pampa, Ponna and Ranna were the three priced jewels of Kannada poetry.
The works being returned are :child saint sambandar
Dancing saint child sambandar of 12 century

#Covid19_outbreak
Unicef Corona virus is large in size where the cell diameter is 400-500 micro and for this reason any mask prevents its entry so there is no need to use pharmacists to trade muzzles. The virus does not settle in the air but is grounded, so it is not transmitted by air. Coronavirus when it falls on a metal surface, it will live 12 hours, so washing hands with soap and water well enough. Corona virus when it falls on the fabric remains 9 hours, so washing clothes or being exposed to the sun for two hours meets the purpose of killing it. The virus lives on the hands for 10 minutes, so putting an alcohol sterilizer in the pocket meets the purpose of prevention. If the virus is exposed to a temperature of 26-27 Ā° C. it will be killed, as it does not live in hot regions. Also drinking hot water and sun exposure will do the trick And stay away from ice cream and eating cold is important. Gargle with warm and salt water kills the tonsils' germs and prevents them from leaking into the lungs. Adherence to these instructions fulfills the purpose of preventing viruses. UNICEF

is celebrated on May 30 as it was on this day in 1987 that Goa ceased to be a Union Territory and became the 25th state of India.
Goa was annexed by India and liberated from the Portuguese rule on December 19, 1961, after 451 years. It became a Union Territory along with Daman and Diu under the President of India.
Over 20 years after the Opinion Poll, Goa was declared a separate state on May 30, 1987. However, this was only possible because Goa had voted in favour of a separate statehood in the 1967 Opinion Poll.
History
* In 1961, India launched Operation Vijay against the Portuguese and annexed Goa and Daman and Diu with the Indian mainland.
* Goa then became a Union Territory along with Daman and Diu.
* Once Goa was liberated from colonial rule, there was a controversy regarding merging Goa with the neighbouring state of Maharashtra or Mysore.
* In 1967, a referendum called the āGoa Opinion Pollā was held, where voters were asked to decide whether the Union Territory should be merged with Maharashtra or should remain separate.
* The mandate was against the merger, and the Union Territory continued as before.
* In 1987, Goa achieved statehood, and Daman and Diu became a separate Union Territory.
Basic Facts:
* Capital: Panaji
Natural Resources
1. Forests
* The state has a total forest cover of more than 1,424 sq. km covering almost one-third of the total area.
* Forests provide important products namely bamboo, Maratha barks, chillar barks and bhirand, which are of great economic value for rural mass.
* Coconut trees are present in almost the whole of Goa except in the upper regions.
* Goaās vegetation also includes cashew, mango, jackfruits and pineapples.
2. Minerals
* Goa is rich in mineral resources. Major minerals include iron ore, manganese, ferro-manganese, bauxite and silica sand.
* Iron and manganese mining industries are the backbone of Goaās economy.

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, also fondly called as Chacha Nehru was a renowned Nationalist leader who was elected as the Prime Minister of the independent country in 1947.
Nehru was also a prolific writer and orator and authored books like 'The Discovery of India' and 'Glimpses of the World History'.
Highlights
* His education and schooling was from England and he returned to India in 1912 and practiced law till 1916.
* He then got elected as the president of the Indian National Congress.
* Nehru had called for complete independence from the British Raj in 1929.
* He opposed the notion of country's separation on the basis of religion suggestioned by Louis Mountbatten.
* When he became the prime minister of independent India, Nehru had initiated socio-economic policies of the idealistic socialist kind.
* Nehru's first commitment was to make India a self-sufficient economy. As a result, he set up temples of modern learning and giant public sector industries that catered to the needs of a growing nation and its people.
* He formed the policy of positive neutrality against cold war and become a key leader of the Non Aligned countries in Asia and Africa.
* Creating the Planning Commission of India, Nehru drew up the first Five-Year Plan in 1951, which charted the government's investments in industries and agriculture.
* Nehru pursued land redistribution and launched programmes to build irrigation canals, dams and spread the use of fertilizers to increase agricultural production.
* He also pioneered a series of community development programs aimed at spreading diverse cottage industries and increasing efficiency into rural India.
* His government oversaw the establishment of many institutions of higher learning, including the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, the Indian Institutes of Technology and the Indian Institutes of Management.
He was very fond of children and known for his love for them, which is why his birthday is nationally celebrated as Children's Day on 14 November.
Numerous public institutions and memorials across India are dedicated to Nehru's memory. The Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi is among the most prestigious universities in India.
