neScholar - Volume 2 Issue 4

In dieser Angelegenheit

This time also we have tried to incorporate articles pertaining to different topics relating to different disciplines of our knowledge, with some emphasis on the
north-east region of the state. The reaction to our past issues is still very positive and I would urge you to give your views, especially on those which you feel needs
improvement, to enable us to make your magazine better and more innovative.

In this issue we present an article on the biodiversity hotspots which falls within India or India is part of it will I hope be of interest. Even though we talk of biodiversity hotspots, many of us are not very familiar of those where India is a part of it or those which falls within India. The use of plant-source alkali in the preparation of delicacies interlinks the different communities of the region. The article on gibbon hoolock will provide further insights into these animals which are now threatened. The article on our nervous system, whether it is democratic or
autocratic in its functioning will we hope make you tickle your brain. So is the one on child rights. We continued with the second part of the series on migration to the north east of India based on linguistic data.

All of us are concerned about the pollution and the article on agricultural pesti-
cides will provide deeper understanding on this matter, besides providing a peek into why organic farming is becoming a craze. The sun, the nearest star to us, life giver is so closed to us but how much do we really know about it? We have an article with stunning visuals.

neScholar Magazine Description:

“neScholar Magazine” published by North East Brothers Entertainments Pvt Ltd is a Quarterly Multi-Colour magazine, registered under “RNI-MANENG/2014/00112” and “ISSN” No.2350-0336.

The modest intention behind “neScholar Magazine” is to impart knowledge on North East India beyond school and college textbooks and also to inculcate a new form of reading habit among students.

“neScholar” Magazine is an effort for providing information to our students, which are felt relevant and good to know. We try to bring in a mix of articles covering various subjects and topics. 21st Century is an age of information and information is regarded as power. The School curricula just could not provide all the information required to make our students a knowledgeable person. And ours is a small endeavour to bridge a little of the gap in knowledge.

The world is becoming a global village and in the process many things which our ancestors have empirically learnt through experience and handed over from generations to generations is being substituted by newer things without understanding the implications. Values have changed but the traditional knowledge needs to be recorded and reassessed to understand the importance of such knowledge. Many of our cultural heritage are slowly being eroded aping other’s culture without realising the implications. The beauty of the world is its varied nuances and differences. If we have a single culture in our society, will the earth be as beautiful as it is now?

It features valuable information and articles in the field of Science & Technology, History & Archaeology, Heritage, Nature, Sports& Adventures and Career - for the curious mind. Our endeavor is to make reading an easy and joyful experience.

Board Of Editors / Expert Panel are a group of Experienced professors from reputed Universities of North East India namely Manipur University, North East Hill University (NEHU) Meghalaya, Gauhati University (Assam), Tripura University and Mizoram University.
