Whether agroforestry 2 2 3 is the solution in these regions? Which are the suitable/profitable trees for land & farmers?

We can explore possibility of forming WhatsApp or other groups like this - Ploughing youth power and cultivating paddy - for agroforestry. If we can also explore export market for agroforest products, grow fruit trees & set up agroprocessing units devicing a way to utilize Agricultural Infrastructure Fund 1 to create 'community farming assets' & to build 'landslide avoidant farms' or 'resilient farms' (permaculture, organic farming, water harvesting, water reduction techniques etc 1 2 3 4 5). Whether Mangalore University introduced any course on 'climate resilient farming'?

Incessant rain inundates farmland in Dakshina Kannada, triggers landslide

Quote:

Landslides had occurred on at least four acres of land in Alladakadu forest area in Kolli Nadthikallu of Belthangady taluk. As the area comes under reserve forest, people live three kilometres away from the site.

Why is it happening in forest itself?

What are the landslide mitigation measures planned by the state government? How many of them are executed so far? I think only IIT Roorkee offers an educational course 1 on landslide mitigation in India.

Covid-19 likely to subside by December: Dr Kakkilaya

Quote:

"..., the donors are rushing to Bengaluru. The state government has given permission to collect plasma to only a few hospitals of Bengaluru," said Qasim Ahmed.

Quote:

The DC further said, "In the beginning we used to get 100 people infected, when we used to conduct test on 500 people. Now we have increased the numbers to 2,500 so the number of infected people is more in that context. We have increased the number of tests in order to break the chain of infection.

Quote:

"The positive cases which was 25% last month is reduced to 10% now. Our aim is to bring it further down to 5%. Cooperation of public is needed for the same.

2369 samples collected on 14-08-2020 is the maximum number of samples collected on a day so far.

Whether 'issue cases rate' (i.e. unknown contact cases rate - a leading indicator of infection rate) are increasing or decreasing? Shouldn't it also indicate the same rate of reduction? As per my observation, though not calculated, 'issue cases rate' (issue cases divided by number of samples tested) is not falling in a steady rate.

Patients warned against hiding details of contacts

Record spurt of 700 cases gives rude awakening to authorities in Udupi, Dakshina Kannada

Is this effect of 'issue cases' & sampling rate not in proportion to reported positive cases? Why are people not giving their contacts?
