Project Results

The project comes under the 3rd Operational Programme of GEF (Forest Ecosystems) that is conservation of biodiversity of rare and endangered plant species. It concentrates on provision of management and utilisation of locally available medicinal plants, collection of germplasm for conservation and propagation through nursery and herbal garden. The project also addresses sustainable production and commercial use of these herbal plant species and livelihoods for local and indigenous communities residing nearby areas. This has direct bearing and response to the provisions of Biological diversity act of Government of India. The project addressed a need to balance biodiversity conservation with sustainable use in order to satisfy economic and social needs of the community.

The project focused on the aspect of Germplasm conservation of local endangered species of medicinal plants with herbal values, which is important for conservation of biodiversity of the region. The idea behind this concept is also to create market for commercial utilisation of these herbal produces so as to create sustainable livelihoods for the poor villagers and unemployed youth. As of now the project has achieved its main goal of establishment of Medicinal plant Nursery and have successfully disseminate the information on medicinal plants and their ecological importance and bio-composting techniques among the project's target beneficiaries i.e. the college youth and local community. The implementing agency (Duliajan Branch of Assam Science Society) has started selling the saplings to the local community for their home gardens and to Assam Gas Company Ltd. @ Rs. 10 per seedlings. 10 potted Marigold plants have been sold at Rs. 35 per pot so far, and 100 Kg of vermicompost have been sold at Rs. 10 per Kg. Also the college youth and villagers are very much interested to produce vermi compost for their farm and non farm (home garden) purposes.

Ratan Tata is a philanthropist and more than 65% of his share is invested in charitable trusts. His
aim has been to raise the quality of life for Indians along with Human Development. Ratan
thinks that 'Philanthropy' can be seen in different perspectives, earlier 'philanthropy' was to
develop institutions, charitable hospitals etc. whereas, now it’s more about nation building.

Early Life

He was born on December 28, 1937 in Surat, India, to Naval Tata and Sonoo. Naval Tata was
the adopted son of the Jamsetji Tata’s younger son Ratanji Tata. Jamsetji Tata was the founder of
the Tata Group of Companies. Ratan Tata has a brother, Jimmy, and a step-brother, Noel Tata.

When he was ten, his parents, got separated and thereafter, he and his brother were brought up
by his grandmother, Navajbai Tata.

He received his early education from the Campion School, Mumbai and finished his schooling
from the Cathedral and John Connon School, Mumbai. In 1962, he obtained his B.S. in

architecture with structural engineering from Cornell University, U.S.A. Later he got enrolled at
the Harvard Business School and completed an Advanced Management Program in 1975.

Background

Ratan Tata was born to Naval Tata and Soonoo Commisariat and has a younger brother Jimmy
Tata. Ratan's father, Naval Tata was remarried to Simone Dunoyer, after his divorce and had one
son, Noel Tata, from his second wife. Ratan's father was an adopted son of Sir Ratan Tata.

Ratan N. Tata has been brought up in an old and well-known business family. He belongs to a
prominent Parsi family. He has not faced any such financial issues since his family had been
successful businessmen since the British rule in India. He was brought up by his grandmother,
Lady Navajbai.

Ratan N. Tata is a highly educated businessman. He holds a Bachelors degree in Architecture

The process of urbanization is one of the most important human-driven activities that reshape the natural distribution of soil microorganisms. However, it is still unclear about the effects of urbanization on the different taxonomic soil bacterial community dynamics. In this study, we collected soil samples from highly urbanized the regions of Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei in China, to explore the bio-geographic patterns, assembly processes, and symbiotic patterns of abundant, moderate, and rare bacterial communities. We found that the number of moderate and rare taxa species were lower than that of abundant taxa, but their α-diversity index was higher than abundant taxa. Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacterioidetes, and Chloroflexi were the dominant phylum across all three sub-communities. And the β-diversity value of rare taxa was significantly higher than those of moderate and abundant taxa. Abundant, moderate, and rare sub-communities showed a weak distance-decay relationship, and the moderate taxa had the highest turnover rate of microbial geography in the context of urbanization. Diffusion limitation was the dominant process of soil bacterial community assembly. The co-occurrence networks of abundant, moderate, and rare taxa were dominated by positive correlations. The network of moderate taxa had the highest modularity, followed by abundant taxa. The main functions of the abundant, moderate, and rare taxa were related to Chemoheterotrophy and N transformations. Redundancy analysis showed that the dispersal limitation, climate, and soil properties were the main factors dominating bio-geographic differences in soil bacterial community diversity. We conclude that human-dominated urbanization processes have generated more uncertain survival pressures on soil bacteria, which resulted in a stronger
