“…In medium and small category of farmers all five agroforestry systems were present while in marginal category of farmers Silvi-Pastoral (SP) system was absent. In Shiwalik region of Mandi, Sharma (2022b) [22] conducted survey of agroforestry systems in the Jogindernagar tehsil of Mandi district and identifies six agroforestry systems among different categories of famers namely: Agri-Silviculture (AS), Agri-Silvi-Horticulture (ASH), Agri-Horticulture (AH), Agri-Silvi-Pastoral (ASP), Pastoral-Silviculture (PS) and Pastoral-Horticulture (PH). Rice, maize, soyabean, tomato, brinjal, etc.…”

Agroforestry is a classical long-standing technique and a significant aspect of subsistence farming, which gained popularity as a commercial and beneficial land use throughout the world in recent years. Approximately, 1.2 billion people depend directly on agroforestry products and services viz. fuelwood, timber, poles, food, fodder etc. In Shiwalik Himalayan region, traditional agroforestry practices play significant role in sustainable livelihoods of the people through fulfilling their daily needs. The current article provides concise description of the different agroforestry systems practiced in the Shiwalik Himalayan region, together with information on their biomass production, economic benefits and carbon sequestration potential. The various agroforestry systems that farmers prefer and practiced in the region are Agri-Silviculture (AS), Agri-Horticulture (AH), Agri-Silvi-Horticulture (ASH), Agri-Silvi-Pastoral (ASP), Silvi-Pastoral (SP), Pastoral-Silviculture (PS), Agri-Horti-Silviculture (AHS), Pastoral-Horticulture (PH), Horti-Pastoral (HP) and Pastoral-Horti-Silviculture (PHS). In terms of biomass production, the production potential of agroforestry systems ranged from 4.24 t ha -1 to 47.45 t ha -1 whereas the net economic returns varied from Rs 5,772 ha -1 yr -1 to Rs 2,97,953 ha -1 yr -1 and the B:C ratio from 1.38 to 3.55 based on the types of components used, associated costs incurred and returns realized. Moreover, the carbon stock capacity among practiced agroforestry systems expands from 1.91 t ha -1 to 21.35 t ha -1 . Overall, agroforestry is a prominent land use system in Shiwalik region of Himalayan in India which is gaining more interest among farmer due to its higher net returns in all the three categories of farmers. Nevertheless, agroforestry usually stores more carbon than monoculture farming and farmers can also earn carbon credits by trading the carbon captured in agroforestry systems on international markets in the climate change scenario.

“…Private spaces such as bedrooms and niches that are used for sleeping and for storage respectively Ojha & Sharma (2017). Spaces are created in a manner to provide appropriate insulation from solar radiation and regulation of day light and ventilation inside the building Sharma & Sharma (2013). This reduces dependency on technology Rashdan & Mhatre (2022).…”

The interior design style of different states of India has been the subject of considerable research in disciplines such as art forms, handicrafts and cultural identities of interior styles. But modernization of the world has created a rage of creating minimalistic spaces, this caused the need for the fusion of traditional into modern interior style. This helped in retaining our culture and preserving the traditional practices as well as artworks. The research elaborated different ways to fuse elements like space, texture and colour from North Indian traditional into Modern interior style. The fusion is supported with the help of six case studies of houses with fused interior design style from North Indian states. The paper concludes with the identification of different ways in which designers and homemakers can fuse traditional into modern interior styles.

“…The poor apple production in the Kotkhai area of the Shimla district in Himachal Pradesh is a composite impact of all climatic variables, including substantial diurnal temperature changes with sporadic or poor rains, minimal or no snowfall and season shifts (Sharma et al, 2013). In temperate trees, unusual patterns of bud-break and development (Ameglio et al, 2000;Halgryn et al, 2001), irregular and temporally spread out flowering (Petri and Leite, 2004), negatively affecting pollination (Halgryn et al, 2001), abnormal growth and uneven crop development (Petri and Leite, 2004) were observed due to absence of chilling as in mild winter conditions.…”

Numerous horticulture crops, both well-known and less well-known underutilized fruit crops native to this region, are grown in abundance in the north-eastern Himalayan region. If grown to their full capacity, these crops will produce significant revenue and contribute to the local economy. There is however, a decrease in their availability even before being fully exploited due to losses resulting from many factors including climate change and related variability. The primary consequence of climate change, among many others, is the changes in the agro-ecological region that are observable in some places where there is the replacement of native fruits, many of which originated at higher elevations, with low chilling-required fruits. In the Ukhrul district of Manipur (Northeast India), the abundance of many local temperate crops of the Prunus species such as peaches, plums, cherries, pears, bird cherry (Prunus nepalensis) and others like walnut, wild apple (Docynia indica), Pyrus pashia, Myrica spp., Rhus semialatus, Rubus spp., Eleagnus spp., Elaeocarpus floribundus, Spondias axillaris, etc. are reduced and being replaced by low chilling requiring crops like kiwi, avocado, low chilling apples (Anna, Golden Dorsett, HRMN 99) and area under these crops particularly kiwi is increasing. In household gardens at higher altitudes, tropical fruits like mango, banana and guava are now thriving; in the past, the harsh winter frosts made it impossible even for the seedlings to survive. Despite employing rootstocks that are more resistant to higher temperature, kiwi is replacing the apple-growing regions in the foothills of Bomdila and Dirang in Arunachal Pradesh, since the requisite quality is not achieved.
