I denne utgaven

First North East India Educational Magazine "neScholar". It tries to give more information on North East India in the field of History, Culture, Sports, Heritage,Nature etc.

This second issue (Jan 2015-Mar 2015) has articles related to engineering approach to the present water crises, Ebola virus, Ground penetrating radar, and others, which we hope will provide better understanding of the issues presented. Besides, an article on the traditional knowledge of the morphology of paddy has been included for better appreciation of the traditional knowledge as well as the adaptation of living beings to environment. There is one article which will provide a peep into the ecosystem services, which is rather brushed aside when we talk about environment and ecology.
With exams near the corner, there is an article on how to beat the exam blues which will be helpful to the students. As usual there is an article on mathematics besides orchids of Phawngpui in Mizoram, on android apps for students, science update. One article which we feel important, especially readers from outside North East India is an article on Manipur theatre of WWII. The article gives in brief the major battles fought between the Japanese and the Allied forces in Manipur. This issue is slightly biased towards science and technology, but we have tried to include articles on various topics to tickle the taste buds of all the readers.

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.

It (vol 01 issue 01 Oct Dec 2014) was successfully released on 27th September 2014 at Manipur Press Club, Imphal where Dr.R.K. Nimai, Former Commissioner Art and Culture, Govt of Manipur is the Editor in Chief.

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.
