Dhemaji: Rimpi Tripathi, a 21-year old girl of Gogamukh has brought glory to the state by inventing  a rape prevention device. In an interaction, Rimpi eloquently told that the device could fully protect a girl or woman from rape at anytime and at any place. She told that device was worn by a woman as an inner in the upper portion of the body. If someone tried to grab it, it generate electric shock in the outer side and if one was shocked he could not stand up again up to 10 minutes. The battery attached to the device, which named as Society Harnessing Equipment (SHE), could create such electric shock up to 82 times. Moreover, immediately after the grab, the pressure sensor attached with the device sends two messages to two different locations-one to the family or whose number was fixed and another to the nearby police station. "The first message", she told, "informs about the location with the mobile GPS and the GSM about the location and the next message is sent as 'need help'. The device can also kept in off/on mode with a switch over it."


    Rimpi, the daughter of Awadesh Tiwari (Tripathi) and Shobha Tripathi of Gogamukh and a 2nd year B Tech student in Instrumentation and Control Engineering at Sri Ram Memorial University in Chennai told she was greatly perturbed by the news of the Delhi gang-rape in television and started to brood over it and thought where there was a problem there was a solution. Later when she reached her college from her home, one day she talked with her selected college mates till midnight over the issue. Then she took  the project SHE to work on it. She told that in the entire project she was assisted by two of her college mates- one is Niladri Basu Bal, a student of Instrumentation and Control Engineering and by Manisha Mohan, a student of Automobile Engineering. Rimpi told that they did a lot of hard works day and night to invent it now their effort had been recognised globally and they were awarded  several times by some distinguish institutions for the invention. In the interaction, she told that social problems were always identified but just few people bothered to solve . She urged the young generation to think over the solution of social issues as all were the part of the society. This IAS aspirant student told that she was still working on it for innovation.

MONOJ GOGOI   Massive river bank erosion in Assam has been  displacing hundreds of thousands families across the state over decades since India's Independence in 1947. In recent years,  the intensity and frequency of floods and erosion have also been increasing in the state. A photo of the IAG meeting in Lakhimpur. According to experts the behavior of rivers in Assam changed just after the Assam Earthquake of 1950 which was measured 8.7 in the Richter scale. The earthquake and the aftershock elevated the river beds of all rivers in Assam. Some rivers including  Subansiri changed channels during the earthquake. It is estimated that since 1950 about 4.27 Sq km of land has been eroded by the Brahmaputra and its tributaries in Assam. In a recent statement CK Das, former Additional Chief Secretary of the state said that the size of the land that fell in river bank erosion would be about 5000 Sq km. But it is believed that the furious fast flowing rivers eroded mass more lands displacing

MONOJ GOGOI  Black lentil is one of the major crops that farmers grow in the alluvial soils of Majuli, Lakhimpur and Dhemaji for additional income support and also to compensate if their main cultivation - the sali rice (plant in summer and harvest in winter) fails either due to flood or other causes. But, this harvesting season, most farmers are not harvesting black lentils as no pod found in the plants and cows are freed to eat the plants as the plants are of no use without pods.                                                                                   Photos from Majuli Ananta Hazarika of Garamur, Majuli who also works as temporary worker in district agriculture office told that it was surprising that the farmers in the entire Majuli district were highly affected by the failure of black lentil crop. In distress, farmers grazed cows in the fields of black lentils. Such information poured from all corners of the district, he added. Raj Kumar Chandi from Dhunaguri area of Lak

MONOJ GOGOI   It's the harvesting period of betel nut or supari (areca nut) in Assam. But the yield of betel nuts is discernibly low this year in all the districts of Assam compared to previous years.       Chandan Boro, who plucks betel nuts, with Ranjit Basumatary and Raju Basumatary in this season in various villages under Gogamukh revenue circle of Dhemaji district in Assam says that in this harvesting season of betel nuts they are not getting as much works as they did in previous years. He says in the orchards where we plucked 20 quintals last year, this year's yield in the same orchard is less than 5 quintals. In many trees not even a single nut is found and in which trees nuts are there, it's comparatively very few.    Ranjit Basumatary says we are roaming from village to village but the situation is the same. "We are shocked to see the drastic change in the crop yields", he adds.    Biren Pegu, a betel nut grower from Goroimari area under Kadam rev
