 Abstract

Currently, India has the second-largest senior population in the world, and it is expected that this population will continue to grow by the year 2050. However, India lacks the necessary knowledge and resources to maintain the health and wellbeing of the elderly population, so it is necessary to study the issues that senior citizens face on a daily basis. The present study aims to find out the adjustment problems of senior citizens. Sample consisted of 80 aged subjects. Out of them 40 male and 40 female participants. Age ranges of the aged sample from 60-65 years. Shamshad -Jasbir Old age Adjustment Inventory was administered to collect the data. Result revealed that there is significant difference in overall adjustment of aged male and female respondents. Male have better adjustment than females. Also, there is significant difference in health, home, social, marital, emotional, and financial adjustment of the respondents.

 Abstract

A sixth of India's population, but not its land, is made up of them. They control, at most, a meager fraction of a sixth of Indians' territory. In fact, most governments in this nation are unable to give even the most rudimentary information about the lands that dalits hold or have received as distributions. Nobody disputes the fact that they are largely landless and that, when they do own land, it is marginal and sometimes of poor quality. Second, there is a distinct caste geography in Indian irrigation. Upper castes cultivate near the tail waters, followed by intermediate castes in the center, and dalits in the middle.

 Abstract

United Nation Organization was established on 24 October 1945 in San Francisco conference1 and since than an important part of world politics. Its primary concern was to remove war and maintain peace and security. Since its inceptions there were five permanent members enjoying veto power and this veto power where as India is advocating structural reform of UN, to make it more democratic and more representative of all the regions. In many respect India deserves permanent seat in the in the restructured U.N security council. Any reforms to this effect need amendment of the Charter as per Article 108 of the Charter. So realizing this Ban Ki-moon, the former Secretary General of UNO remarked that "The U.N Security Council reform, being debated since two decades is too long overdue and the necessary expansion must be made considering how much the world has changed."

 Abstract

The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) is regarded as a "Silver Bullet" for eliminating rural unemployment and stimulating the demand for labor-force in Indian villages. It is a flagship program of the GOI that aims to achieve inclusive growth while directly affecting the lives of rural impoverished people. The program aims to strengthen the livelihood security of families living in rural areas and to offer at least 100 days of guaranteed paid employment to each family whose adult members are willing to perform manual labour. In August 2005, the GOI presented the Act. This significant piece of law reinforces India's status as a welfare state. There is now no alternative to this scheme in India, which has improved the standard of living of the rural dwellers in such a remarkable way. With this backdrop in mind, the study aims to investigate how this program has been able to lessen the unemployment issue in the Pranganj Gram Panchayat of the South 24 Parganas district and how it instilled hope by providing livelihood security to villagers during the epidemic.

 Abstract

The Scheduled Tribes have been specified, as per Article 342 of the Constitution, in all States and Union Territories except Chandigarh, Delhi, Haryana, Pondicherry and Punjab. About 80 per cent of tribal population are to be found along the Central belt, starting from Gujarat - Maharashtra, running through Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand and West Bengal. The Constitution of India contains exhaustive provisions for protecting and promoting the interests of the scheduled tribes. These mandatory safeguards are relevant in the context of implementation of Tribal Sub-Plan and the Provisions of Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act 1996 (PESA) provisions for streamlining the administrative apparatus, providing legal support and implementing developmental programmes. India is one of the emerging economies. A large number of development projects have been launched in India for the past six decades. It has gained momentum since the independence. Dam projects, Industrial projects, Mining Projects, Thermal Power Projects, and Urban Infrastructure Projects are some of the prime examples. India's development policies and strategies have often focused upon indispensability of irrigation as important input for agriculture.

 Abstract

The Kole wetland, one of the largest, highly productive and one of the rice granaries of Kerala, has been declared in Ramsar convention for protection. Ponnani Kole, the study area, is situated in south-west of Malappuram and north-west of Thrissur districts, is the northern most extension of the Vembanad Kole Ramsar site. However, to the best of our knowledge, no solemn attempts were made to study the ecological impacts of these Kole wetlands especially emphasising biodiversity, physico chemical characters and human dependence. The present study is based on field survey and laboratory analysis of selected species. The study reveals the significant variation in stress physiology among plants grown in the area of high ecosystem diversity. It is also noticed, a massive destruction of the vegetation in the Koleland are very high due to natural and anthropogenic activities. Soil erosion also very high in Koleland and this leads to declination of vegetation as well. Study elucidated the physiological changes and related tolerance mechanism that occur in three plants according to the ecological variations during different seasons.

 Abstract

Health is a defining concern in public policy discussions in every mature society, often mandating the deployment of enormous populations. Inequalities in health, access to health care, and the quality/cost of treatment contribute to a nation's economic well-being, given a current biological understanding of health and illness. Health insurance covers all clinical quality, not only medical treatment. There cannot be a sole emphasis on publicly financed health care but also on incentives and disincentives for self-care and treatment funded by private individuals to recover from sickness. In countries such as India, where private out-of-pocket expenditure dominates health care expenses, the resulting repercussions are sure to be regressive. At its core, the healthcare system is viewed as general welfare. Consequently, its demand and supply cannot be determined by the market's invisible hand. Vulnerable people should be prioritized, such as children, women, and the elderly. The disparity in health status among rural and urban regions and across states is well established. As one age, inequalities between urban and rural areas grow more prominent, with a five age gap becoming more evident. Apart from the battle for survival, rural villages are infamous for their lack of access to almost every community service. The prevalent practice of female feticide is expected to exacerbate the disparities among rural and urban children. This paper discusses the present Indian health system. The research will concentrate on the health system and its prospects, including its problems and concerns.

 Abstract

The study was conducted to develop and evaluate different evaporation estimation models considering importance and difficulty in measurement of evaporation.Models were developed for predicting pan and pond evaporation on multiple linear regression, and energy balance method. For pan evaporation, model developed by energy balance method gave results with highest coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.9473), lowest root mean square error (1.1403 mmday-1) with closer association between estimated and observed evaporation. For pond evaporation the model developed by stepwise multiple linear regression analysis gave results with highest coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.9638), lowest root mean square error (0.7377 mmday-1) with closer association between estimated and observed evaporation.
