U.N.GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROCLAIMED ‘1974’ AS THE WORLD POPULATION YEAR.

Stamp Information	:	In the resolution 2683 (XXV) adopted on December 11, 1970, the United Nations General Assembly designated '1974' as World Population Year. The main objectives of the year were defined as- (a) improved knowledge of and information on population trends and prospects and associated factors; (b) sharpened awareness of population problems and their social and economic implications; (c) effective education on population, family life and reproductive functions through formal and other educational systems; (d) adoption and elaboration of population policies; and (e) expansion of international technical assistance to those countries which desires it and in accordance with their needs. This is an year of commitment of the world community to work towards ensuring a better quality of life for man. The focal point of the observance of the World Population Year is the Population Conference that is being convened by the United Nations at Bucharest, Romania in August 1974 at which it is expected that a World Population Plan of Action will be adopted by the participating nations. India's population, 548 million at the 1971 Census, constitutes about a seventh of the World population. India was among the earliest to recognise the population factor as an major issue.

The Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) or Indian tiger is a tiger subspecies native to South Asia, and is the national animal of India and Bangladesh.

The Bengal tiger is the most numerous tiger subspecies with populations estimated at 1,706–1,909 in India, 440 in Bangladesh, 124–229 in Nepal and 67–81 in Bhutan.^[2][3][4][5]

Bengal is traditionally fixed as the typical locality for the binomial Panthera tigris, to which the British taxonomist Reginald Innes Pocock subordinated the Bengal tiger in 1929 under the trinomial Panthera tigris tigris.^[6][7]

Since 2010, it has been classified as an endangered species by IUCN. The total population is estimated at fewer than 2,500 individuals with a decreasing trend, and none of the Tiger Conservation Landscapes within the Bengal tiger's range is large enough to support an effective population size of 250 adult individuals

Threats

Over the past century tiger numbers have fallen dramatically, with a decreasing population trend. None of the Tiger Conservation Landscapes within the Bengal tiger range is large enough to support an effective population size of 250 individuals. Habitat losses and the extremely large-scale incidences of poaching are serious threats to the species' survival.^[1]

The challenge in the Western Ghats forest complex in western South India, an area of 14,400 square miles (37,000 km²) stretching across several protected areas is that people literally live on top of the wildlife. The Save the Tiger Fund Council estimates that 7,500 landless people live illegally inside the boundaries of the 386-square-mile (1,000 km²) Nagarhole National Park in southwestern India. A voluntary if controversial resettlement is underway with the aid of the Karnataka Tiger Conservation Project led by K. Ullas Karanth of the Wildlife Conservation Society.^{[citation needed]}

A 2007 report by UNESCO, "Case Studies on Climate Change and World Heritage" has stated that an anthropogenic 45-cm rise in sea level, likely by the end of the 21st century, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, combined with other forms of anthropogenic stress on the Sundarbans, could lead to the destruction of 75% of the Sundarbans mangroves.^{[citation needed]} The Forest Rights Act passed by the Indian government in 2006 grants some of India's most impoverished communities the right to own and live in the forests, which likely brings them into conflict with wildlife and under-resourced, under-trained, ill-equipped forest department staff. In the past, evidence showed that humans and tigers cannot co-exist

‘ARYABHATA’ INDIA’S FIRST SATELLITE, NAMED AFTER THE FAMOUS INDIA MATHEMATICIAN AND ASTRONOMER OF 5TH CENTURY;WAS BUILT BY INDIAN SPACE AND ORGANISATION (ISRO).TO CELEBRATE THE SUCCESSFUL LAUNCHING OF THE SATELLITE FROM THE SOVIET COSMODROME ON 19TH APRIL 1975.A STAMP DEPICTING ‘ARYABHATA’IN SPACE WAS ISSUED.

Aryabhatta was India’s first successfully launched satellite. It was named after a famous Indian astronomer from the 5th century. It was launched by the Soviet Union April 19, 1975 from Kapustin Yar, U.S.S.R. The satellite was built by the Indian Space Research Organization to conduct experiments in x ray astronomy, aeronomics, and solar physics. The satellite represents India’s first major efforts at space exploration.

The Aryabhatta satellite like many early satellites had a compact design. The spacecraft was a 26 sided polygon 1.4m in diameter. All faces except the top and bottom were covered with silicon solar cells. In addition it had a rechargeable Nickel Cadmium battery. The launch vehicle used to send it into orbit was a Cosmos 3 rocket while it was meant to be a long term satellite, a power failure ended experiments after just 4 days orbit. All signals from the spacecraft were lost a day later.
