Under it the President may, by public notification and after consulting the Governor of the state concerned, specify the tribes or tribal communities that shall be deemed Scheduled Tribes for that state or Union Territory, and only Parliament may thereafter include or exclude a community, by law.

The Toda are a small pastoral community of the Nilgiri plateau in Tamil Nadu, known for their barrel-vaulted huts, their sacred buffalo herds and their dairy-centred religion; they are also classed as a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group.

The Pradhan Mantri Janjatiya Unnat Gram Abhiyan was announced in the Union Budget of 2024-25 and approved by the Union Cabinet in 2024 as a mission to saturate tribal-majority villages and aspirational blocks with basic facilities such as housing, roads, water, electricity, health and education, working through the convergence of…

These are communities within the Scheduled Tribes that are the least developed on four counts: a pre-agricultural level of technology, a stagnant or declining population, extremely low literacy and a subsistence economy.

The Tharu are the most widely distributed Scheduled Tribe of Uttar Pradesh, living along the Terai belt that runs below the Himalaya through Lakhimpur Kheri, Bahraich, Balrampur, Shrawasti, Siddharthnagar, Maharajganj and the neighbouring districts, so they appear in more districts of the state than any other notified tribe.

A good fuel should have a moderate ignition temperature, not a very low one.

Destructive distillation means heating coal strongly in the absence of air, so that it decomposes instead of burning. The solid left behind is coke, which is almost pure carbon and is used as a reducing agent in the extraction of iron and other metals and as a smokeless fuel.

When the oxygen supply is short, the carbon of the fuel is only partly oxidised and carbon monoxide is formed instead of carbon dioxide.

It is the lowest temperature to which a combustible substance must be heated before it begins to burn, and it is a fixed property of that substance; substances with a very low ignition temperature, such as petrol, alcohol and liquefied petroleum gas, are called inflammable substances and are stored with…

Carbon dioxide is about one and a half times as dense as air, so when released it forms a blanket over the burning material and separates it from atmospheric oxygen, removing one side of the fire triangle.

Petrol and kerosene are lighter than water and do not mix with it, so water poured on an oil fire sinks below the burning layer and carries it outwards, enlarging the fire instead of putting it out.

Coal forms by the slow burial and compression of plant matter, and the longer and deeper the process goes the more carbon is left behind as moisture and volatile matter are driven off.

Liquefied petroleum gas is obtained during the refining of petroleum and from natural gas processing, and it is chiefly a mixture of butane and propane, which liquefy under moderate pressure at ordinary temperature and so can be stored in a cylinder.

Its calorific value is about 150 kilojoules per gram, the highest of any known fuel, roughly three times that of petrol, and its only combustion product is water vapour, which makes it a clean fuel as well.

In this zone the supply of air is unrestricted, so combustion is complete and all the carbon of the fuel is converted to carbon dioxide, releasing the maximum heat.

Calorific value is the heat released on completely burning one gram of a substance, and among the four foods listed ghee has the highest, because it is almost entirely fat.

In spontaneous combustion a substance catches fire by itself, without any external flame being brought near it.

Short for source, it holds the path or URL of the image file that the browser must fetch and display, and without it the image element has nothing to show.

An ordered list numbers its items automatically, and its type attribute, or the CSS list-style-type property, decides whether the markers are decimal numbers, lower or upper case letters, or lower or upper case Roman numerals.

The word cascading describes the way conflicting rules are resolved: styles flow down from several sources, namely the browser's defaults, the author's style sheet and the user's own settings, and the cascade decides which rule wins, with specificity and order of appearance also counting.
