Inter-disciplinary approaches in higher education discussed

[ Prafulla Kaman ]

Attending the workshop as resource person, Assistant Professor of Management in Rajiv Gandhi University (Arunachal) Dr Arindum Chakravarty put emphasis on change of present education system for the institutes of higher education. He said that it was right time to organize workshop on education topics in the colleges and discuss various challenges faced by the teachers.
Prof Chakravarty, who later delivered a lecture on "Theory in classrooms and the interdisciplinary approach" in technical session, said that teacher's interference is necessary for development of the students. Defining inter-disciplinary teaching, which is different from multi-disciplinary teaching, Chakravarty said that it is not uniform across all teaching-learning situations. It may vary with level of education, competency of the instructor. Thus inter-disciplinary approach attempts to create holistic perspectives of the field of inquiry not to confuse or diffuse the objective of the core discipline.

He said that inter-disciplinary approach should be confined to in-depth understanding of the primary discipline and its linkages with other branches of study. He further discussed inter-disciplinary approaches in higher education in terms of convergence, conjugation and correlation with variability of other disciplines.
Delivering on "Pedagogical approach in teaching learning process in higher educational institutions" Professor (Education) of Dibrugarh University, Dr Neeta Kalita Baruah said objective of higher education should aim at creation of good citizens, who can contribute to well-being of the society.

State has rich Birdlife but ebbing population
[ Dr. Daniel Mize ]
Being one of the wildlife rich States, Arunachal Pradesh also joins the Nation in celebrating the 62nd Wildlife Week of India to reaffirm the commitments to conserve the rich wildlife. Observation of the wildlife week in Arunachal is quite relevant as state is the richest terrestrial biodiversity in general and wildlife in particular. The rich wildlife is best manifested by birdlife diversity in the state. Birds are magnificent & most beautiful creatures of nature. They are biped, feathered and homoeothermic organisms with forelimbs which are modified into specialized organ for flying called ‘wings’. Taxonomically, bird includes Archaeopteryx, modern birds, their most recent common ancestor and its entire descendant. Birds evolved from small carnivorous dinosaur group maniraptoran theropods during late Jurassic period of Mesozoic era, nearly 150 million years ago. Discovery of fossil Archaeopteryx lithographica- ‘the ancient winged creatures of the stone’ at Bavaria in Germany in 1861 corroborated the reptile ancestry of birds.
At the moment, birds are the most diversified group among the vertebrates with around 13,000 species which colonised air, land and water as birds are perfectly adapted to fly, walk and swim.
According to Leepage, 2016, there are 879 species of birds in Arunachal Pradesh that makes the state, the second highest (75 percent) avian diversity state in India. The score could increase in future as there are instances of new discovery in the recent past, e.g., Bugun Liocichla was discovered in Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary in 2006. Himalayan thrush, earlier a cryptic species was identified as new species in 2016.
According to IUCN Red data list, 2016, 43 species out of 879 birds, fall under threatened categories- Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN), & Vulnerable (V). 10 species, viz., Baer’s Pochard, White- bellied Heron, Bengal Florican, Bugun Liocichla, Slendered –billed Vulture, White-rumped vulture, Long –billed Vulture, Forest Owlet, Pink headed Duck, Red Headed Vulture, are listed in Critically Endangered (CR) category, which population size is estimated to be fewer than 250 mature individuals over the globe and 50% extinction probability in 10 years or 3 generations, if trend continues. 7 species, viz., Yellow Bunting, Saker Falcon, Greter Adjutant, Mansked Finfoot White –winged Duck, Black Bellied Tern and Green Peafowl are listed in Endangered (EN) category, which population is estimated to be fewer than 2500 mature individuals over the globe and 20% extinction probability in 20 years or 5 generations. 26 species, viz, Black necked Crane, Beautiful Nuthatch, Chestnut –breasted Patridge, Eastern Imperial Eagle, Wood snipe, Snowy throated Babbler, Blyth’s Tragopan, Yellow Weaver, Jerdon’s Babbler, Greater spotted Eagle, Black breasted Parrotbill, Rufous -necked Hornbill, Pallas-fish Eagle, White throated Bushchat, Slender-billed Babbler, Marsh, Babbler, Tawny-breasted Wren Babbler, Indian Spotted Eagle, Indian Skimmer, Sarus Crane, Dalmatian Pelican, Pale-capped Pigeon, Lesser Adjutant, Rusty throated Wren Babbler, Scalater’s Monal and Great-slaty Woodpecker are listed in Vulnerable (VU) category, with a population size estimated to be fewer than 10,000 mature individuals over the globe and 10% extinction probability in 100 years. These edge species are continuously on decline, if something is not done, then, these species may extinct locally from the state.
Many of the birds are visitors and some are endemic to the state. Birds like Ruddy Shelduck, Common Merganser, Baer’s Pochard, Red-crested Pochard, Common Pochard, Tufted Duck, Common Teal etc. are common wintering species. They arrive in October to avoid harsh environment in higher latitudes usually northern region and make our winter a blissful moment by their melodious songs and calls, then they depart in March for their breeding ground. Birds like Bugun Liocichla (CR), Mask Babbler, Snowy-throated Babbler, Pink-headed Duck (CR) etc., are endemic to Arunachal Pradesh. These are unique gift of nature to people of Arunachal, as these birds are not found anywhere in the world, we are the pride custodian of these birds.
Undoubtedly, Arunachal Pradesh is a paradise of birds in India. However, there is a big challenge before us to conserve the bird biodiversity in the state vis-a-vis habitat destruction, habitat deterioration, habitat fragmentation and overexploitation which are gradually intensified with growing population. Among these threats, over exploitation is the gravest of the threats in the state. Over exploitation is mainly due to many tradition and culture which thrive on birdlife resources that leads to over harvest of the resources. Particularly, hunting of birds for festivals, decoration of traditional attire, ritual etc., become more rampant under the buzzing slogan of local tribal people- ‘Loss of culture is loss of identity’ and concurrent with sophisticated weapons in scene.
Under the conundrum, conservation becomes difficult in the state. We need to re-contemplate over the conservation strategies for wildlife in the state. There is need of efficient policies and programmes to conserve wildlife through education, research and citizen Science programme. Firstly, promotion of Wildlife Science education in the state is a must that will produce manpower with expertise, who can prioritize and carry out research based sustainable conservation action. Secondly, educating the mass about importance of wildlife with promotion of non consumptive value based activities like wildlife ecotourism; wildlife festival, bird watching; waterfowl count etc. Thirdly, mass should be motivated to involve in conservation, primarily by influencing the community based organisation which hold a messianic image over the concerned community and lastly, small research grants; fellowship; awards with grants etc., should be provided by the government to promote and support scientist, Institute, NGO etc., working in the field.
On the 62nd wildlife week occasion, let us pledge to recommit ourselves to conserve wildlife for our better future. Let us take pledge to harness wildlife sustain-ably to save wildlife and save mankind, reverberating the slogan, ‘Sustainable harness save wildlife, save mankind’. (Dr. Daniel Mize is Assistant Professor of Department of Zoology, Rajiv Gandhi University, Rono Hills.)
