Demorgaphy of the Tribal Groups of Rajasthan: 1. Population Structure

Abstract

Natural selection is one of the major evolutionary factors that brings about changes in the gene frequencies in a population through the action of differential fertility and mortality. Selection potential based on the differential fertility and mortality data have been computed for the major Scheduled Tribes of Rajasthan, using the methodology of Crow (1958) and Johnston and Kensinger (1971). It has been observed that irrespective of methodology, the index of total selection was the highest among Sahariyas while it was the lowest among Mina tribal group. The relative contribution of fertility to the index of total selection has been found exceeding that of mortality among Mina. The reverse appeared true among Kathodis, Damors and Garasias.

Educational Emergency Treatment Model: An Adaptive Response To Education And Multivariate HMM Model To Latent Crisis State In Rural Rajasthan During COVID-19

“…The COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread school closures, disrupting global education systems and depriving millions of students of learning opportunities (Simulating the Potential Impacts of COVID- 19,2020). The pandemic has had severe consequences, calling for exigent, transformative educational systems at all levels that prioritize learning outcomes and the well-being of students.…”

Demorgaphy of the Tribal Groups of Rajasthan: 4. Selection Intensity

“…The description of area and people illustrates the tremendous ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity among tribal groups of Rajasthan (Bhasin and Nag, 2007). Against this backdrop, it seems reasonable that differential fertility and mortality along with their ethno-cultural diversity may have significant impact on natural selection potential.…”
