Pied cuckoo is a bird with black and white plumage (pied) with a fancy crest on the head.
It is found in Africa and Asia.
In central and northern parts of India, pied cuckoos are migratory, they are seen only from just before the monsoon to early winter.
They have high site fidelity, that is, they come back to the same location year after year.
It is one of the few species that come to India in the summer; most other migratory species come in winter.
IUCN Status of the bird is Least Concerned.
Recently, Wildlife Institute of India (WII), has decided to study the migration of the Pied Cuckoo Bird by tagging the bird with satellite transmitters, as a part of IBIN project.
This is the first study in the country that seeks to trace and observe the migratory routes of the pied cuckoo.
It will give information on the monsoon, changes in the monsoon and monsoon winds, erratic rainfall, seasonal fluctuations, water vapour pressure, etc.
Study planner is an invaluable tool for students, enabling them to assess
their strengths and weaknesses through tests. It calculates the optimal daily study time
required to cover the syllabus. This personalized approach enhances productivity and fosters
effective time management, ultimately boosting academic performance.
PERSONALISED TEST
A personalized test allows students to select their preferred topic and
subtopic from the curriculum. It generates a tailored examination by randomly selecting
questions related to their choices. This approach promotes engagement, reinforces specific
learning objectives, and fosters a deeper understanding of the material through active
participation in the assessment process.
PREDECTIVE ANALYTICS
The analytics system tracks the time spent and records correct answers for
all questions attempted. It compiles this data into analyses, offering students valuable
insights into their preparation, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and helping them
optimize their study strategies for improved performance.
