📚 NEW BOOK RELEASE | "The Politics of Tribal Development in India: Cultural Diversity and Challenges" by Prof. Ramdas Rupavath What does true development mean for India’s Adivasi communities? Is progress merely measured by GDP growth, or must it encompass democratic rights, cultural preservation, and social justice? 💭🌱 In his compelling new book published by Rawat Publications, Prof. Ramdas Rupavath (Department of Political Science, University of Hyderabad) delves into the complex nexus between politics and tribal development in India. Key themes explored in the book: 🔹 Beyond Economic Metrics: Looking at development through Amartya Sen's capabilities approach—focusing on freedom, dignity, and social inclusion rather than just material wealth. 🔹 Historical & Ongoing Struggles: Examining Adivasi movements since the 1940s against land alienation, resource displacement, and structural oppression. 🔹 Preserving Indigenous Knowledge: Highlighting how traditional cultural practices offer vital, sustainable solutions to modern environmental and climate challenges. 🔹 Policy & Governance: Evaluating government interventions and advocating for inclusive policymaking that protects tribal heritage from cultural erosion. Supported by the Institution of Eminence (IoE), UoH, with a foreword by Prof. Debi Chatterjee, this work is an essential read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone passionate about indigenous rights and inclusive growth. 🎓📖 #TribalDevelopment #AdivasiRights #RamdasRupavath #UniversityOfHyderabad #BookRelease #CulturalDiversity #IndianPolitics #SocialJustice #IndigenousKnowledge #RawatPublications #PublicPolicy @EduMinOfIndia @JoshiPralhad @ugc_india @PIB_India @PTI_News @mygovindia

🌀 From Vulnerability to Precision: Forecasting Bay of Bengal Cyclones The Centre for Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS) recently welcomed renowned tropical meteorologist Prof. U. C. Mohanty for an insightful Special Lecture focusing on the evolution and future of Bay of Bengal (BoB) cyclone forecasting. While the BoB experiences lower annual cyclone frequencies than the tropical Pacific, its unique funnel-shaped geography, high coastal density, and historical data gaps have driven heavy casualties. However, Prof. Mohanty highlighted how modern advancements—including high-performance computing, high-resolution mesoscale modeling, and advanced observational networks like radars and buoys—have revolutionized the field. Forecasters can now predict cyclone tracks, landfalls, and storm surges with state-of-the-art precision. The core takeaway: bridging the gap between cutting-edge scientific data and actionable early warnings to achieve zero-casualty disaster management. The seminar drew an enthusiastic audience of faculty, researchers, and students from across disciplines, sparking an engaging post-seminar discussion. 🔗 Read the full coverage: herald.uohyd.ac.in/ceoas-spe… #CycloneForecasting #BayOfBengal #Meteorology #ClimateScience #UoH #CEOAS #DisasterManagement #WeatherPrediction @EduMinOfIndia @JoshiPralhad @ugc_india @PIB_India @PTI_News @mygovindia
