This book provides a unique and comprehensive assessment of the changes that have been taking place in the Himalayas. It describes in detail all the aspects of change, both natural and cultural, along with their implications, and suggests policy measures to help mitigate them. The book is divided into two major sections – on natural changes and cultural changes – and 11 chapters: an introduction, six addressing changes that concern natural aspects, and four exploring cultural changes and presenting the book’s conclusions. The content is based on a study conducted using a participatory observation/empirical method. Time series data from secondary sources is also included, helping to analyze the various changes. The findings are presented in the form of color graphs, models, maps, photographs, and tables. The book offers a valuable resource for policymakers, and will prove equally useful for all other stakeholders, e.g. researchers, students and development agents.

This book presents the first empirically tested, comprehensive study on shifting cultivation in Mizoram. Such cultivation leads to the burning and degradation of vast areas of forestland and therefore has adverse impacts on the floral and faunal resources.

The farming system in the Central Himalayan Region is distinctive and unique, mainly focusing on the cultivation of traditional subsistence cereal crops. The agrobiodiversity in this region is rich, with the Central Himalaya growing numerous cultivars and crop races. The practice of cultivating many crops or cultivars in a single field is known as the 'Barahnaja System.' Another peculiar system is the Sar/Sari system, where different crops grow in the two Sars during the same seasons, with one Sar left fallow for six months while the other grows crops. This century-old farming method involves plowing fields with oxen and using organic manure to enhance crop production and productivity. However, recent changes have been observed in the farming systems. The area under traditionally growing millets is declining. In river valleys and middle altitudes, there is a recent trend towards cultivating paddy and wheat. Unfortunately, the cultivation of temperate fruits – apple and citrus has seen a decline in terms of area, production, and productivity. Various factors are influ encing farming systems in the Central Himalaya, such as high climate variability and change, decreasing crop production and productivity, evolving food habits, and out-migration. The book contains 12 chapters illustrating introduction, land use and land cover change, cropping patterns, crop diversity and agro-ecological zones, farming systems and sustainable agriculture, climate change and its impact on agriculture, infrastructural facilities for sustainable agriculture, declining agriculture: a case study, crop productivity and suitability analyzes, agribusiness, policies and planning for sustainable agriculture, and conclusions. It serves as a valuable resource for students, academicians, researchers, policymakers, and farmers.

The treatise ‘Exploring the Mystical Himalaya: Cultures, Economies and Environment’ is composed based on the collection of empirical data, extensive field visits, and thereafter my personal observation through travelogue of the entire Himalaya from Pamir’s knot to the Arakan Yoma (including Tibet, Bhutan, and Nepal) with aspects of nature and culture. It presents a comprehensive illustration of the Himalaya. There are nine chapters – the Introduction: the Mystical Himalaya; Ladakh: The Land of Lamas; Hari Ki Dun: The Valley of Lord Vishnu; The Legends of Kedarkhand: A Journey through the Himalayan Abode; Manaskhand: The Climax of Nature and Culture; Kathmandu to Muktinath: Unity and Continuity Through the Kali Gandaki River; Harmony in the Himalaya: Buddhism and Bhutan; Beyond Borders and Culture, and the Conclusions. Various aspects of the Himalaya – natural, economic, social, cultural, and finally the customs and rituals performed during the off-time were illustrated in all chapters. I observed that the Himalaya is not only a natural entity but also it holds high cultural significance. It is the land of thousands cultures, customs, rituals, fairs, festivals, human races, and faunal and floral species. Furthermore, it holds thousands of mountain peaks, rivers, river basins, streams, rivulets, and trails. The Himalaya preserves the mankind through supporting lives of thousands of people in upstream and downstream river valleys. It has been preserving the culture, customs, rituals, and human races since the prehistoric time. It is a warier, protector from the neighbouring countries. The book is valuable for all stakeholders – students, researchers, academicians, policy makers, pilgrims/tourists, and the Himalayan lovers.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of natural disasters—both terrestrial and hydrological—specifically within the Himalayan region. Spanning 13 chapters, it delves into key aspects of disaster management, from foundational concepts to rehabilitation policies. The book begins with an introduction to disaster classification, followed by an in-depth exploration of various terrestrial disasters, including earthquakes, and geohydrological disasters, illustrated through case studies of four significant events that occurred in different parts of the Central Himalaya. Further chapters focus on landslide disasters, the variability of rainfall patterns, and the increasing prevalence of forest fires. The book also examines the impact of cloudburst and glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF)-triggered disasters, which have become more frequent and severe due to climate change and anthropogenic global warming. Through a scientific approach, the text highlights the interplay between environmental changes and disaster occurrences, presenting data, case studies, and analytical insights. This book is an essential resource for students, researchers, academicians, policymakers, and disaster management professionals. It offers critical perspectives on disaster preparedness, response strategies, and long-term resilience planning for one of the most fragile and ecologically significant mountain systems in the world—the Himalaya.

This book presents a socio-economic and livelihood analysis of agriculturally-dependent communities of Mizoram, the eastern extension of the Himalaya, using the sustainable livelihood approach. Such an approach to poverty reduction is inevitable, particularly, in areas where livelihoods depend largely on biomass-based agriculture and livestock production. Mizoram possesses abundant natural resources – land, water and forest – but those resources are largely unused. The region suffers from chronic poverty and malnutrition, and climate change has further influenced livelihood patterns. This work studies all the aspects of natural potentials and livelihood status in Mizoram. It also discusses the major driving forces that influence livelihood patterns. Based on a detailed analysis of empirical data, several policy measures are suggested to cope with chronic poverty and malnutrition. The book is therefore highly useful for all stakeholders; students, researchers, academicians, policymakers and politicians involved in rural/community development.
