Abstract:
Problems of undernutrition and malnutrition still persisted in spite of high spectacular economic growth and self-reliance in foodgrain production for a long time. The government formulated and implemented various social assistance programmes and policies to reduce poverty, hunger, and malnutrition. But these programmes have ridden with corruption, leakages and inefficiency in theirfunctioning. Government, from time to time, has introduced various technological reforms to curb malpractices and make these programmes well-functioning that may translate maximum benefits to the beneficiaries. Access to food, to a large extent, depends on the household’s productive assets, purchasing power and social assistance programmes in place. Sometimes, access to these programmes are mediated through the caste, class, ethnicity and gender, and in turn, worsens the food security situation. The solution to all these problems lies in the strong will power of the state to make the programmes well-functioning by adopting ICT based techniques and a strong grievance redressal mechanism.

Abstract:
Indian society has been a patriarchal society where in the female gender has faced a lot of atrocities and women have been subjected to many evil customary practices. Not only they had to follow these evil traditions, but they were sometimes forced to lay down their lives for the sake of well-being of either their husbands or the society. One of these included the problems related to the availability of drinking water in the studied region. For this sake the rulers of the princely states resolved to human sacrifices as guided by their priests and they sacrificed women instead of men and mostly preferred their daughter-inlaws. A few descriptions related with this practice are found in the folklore of Mandi, Bilaspur and Chamba regions of Indian State of Himachal Pradesh. There are also some descriptions of this practice in some books on the history of these regions. This customary practice prevailed not only in the studied regions, but almost in every part of western Himalayas. There are water sources even today in the areas where the sacrifices were made. The aim of this article here is to do research on this tradition in Mandi, Bilaspur and Chamba regions and how this tradition affected the society. Also, an attempt has been made to trace the connection between folk traditions and historical development related to this practice

Abstract:
The persistence and dominance of non-institutional financial sources in the rural credit is a major concern in India, particularly among the Scheduled Tribes households. In this context, present study focuses on the penetration of credit flow among the tribal household in Telangana. The study covers both macro and micro-level perspective of access to institutional and non-institutional sources among the tribal households. The macro-level and micro-level analysis portrays that they depend upon non-institutional credit mainly from money lenders and relatives. Further, borrowing from money lender makes them to lose their rights on selling their farm products on their own, which leads to falling in debt trap. The study suggest that formal financial institutions should develop more flexible products and services to meet the income and expenditure pattern of the tribal households, to come out of the debt trap

Abstract:
:Concept internalization is conceived as the pre-requisite condition for achievement through the agency of self-regulation of learning science. Internalization is the individualway of structural and functional transformation of external relations into internal reconstruction of conception leading to task mastery with ease in appropriation of cultural mediational tools. It establishes a shift from inter-psychological plane to intrapsychological plane of consciousness even functional with automatization in the absence of concrete external links.It minimizes the probability of rote memorisation in higher order science learning objectives.The on hand study is committed to disclose the effective circumstantial outcome of internalization upon science achievement through the selection of specific experimental manipulation. Eighty 6th standard learners from an HS rural govt.- aided school following the state board (WBBSE) curriculum of study serve as participants of the experimental study – divided into two equivalent halvesthrough randomisation after the administration of entry level pre-test of the dependent variable – impartially for one (40) is treated by problem solving method (PSM) of teaching and the rest half (40) by play way method (PWM) of teaching for the transaction of selected science lessons in three units. Internalization and achievement data are obtained by the application of SLIQ scale and SAT in three units respectively after the instructions of nearly two months duration. PSM is found to the predictor of science achievement in higher order cognitive levels for all the three units. But no efficiency of PSM over PWM is established in terms of learner’s concept internalization scores. The two-way 3 (Unit I vs Unit II vs Unit III) x 2 (PSM vs PWM) ANOVA revealed the significant main effect of only teaching method on achievement. Concept internalization exerts significant effect on Unit I achievement for the learners instructed by PSM of teaching. But no effect evinced for average and low level internalized group on Unit II and Unit III achievement for PSM group. The effect was overall significant except average and low level internalized group of learners instructed by PWM of teaching in all the three units. The analysis for total sample follows the trend yielded by the learners instructed by PSM of teaching. Finally, we sum up our analysis cum discussion through some educational implications about science teaching learning in line with our major research findings.

Abstract:
Facilities greatly reduce the impact of low-profile academic exhibitions and inappropriate offices meaning poor execution. The purpose of this study was to investigate the causal relationships between school office conditions and school outcomes, for example, poor student achievement, participation, discipline, completion rate, and teacher occupation in schools. Participation rate the condition of the schools was controlled by the Environmental Assessment (TLEA) of the overall learning of the secondary or primary school secondary schools in Tech Text, including between 1000 and 2000. Limit entries and entries are less than 40%. The population of each school in the population is from nine to twelve. Information was collected through the Public Education Information Management System (PIMS) under the Texas Education Agency's Success, Participation, Discipline, Utilization Rate and Educator Rate Information. Recreational attainment, participation, discipline, final rate and turnover rate of education and their interaction with the class offices were examined and combined with the five ward factors for each of the TLEA articles and sub-sections. Different associated models were used for thinking. The main test of the test worked well with this: the first, unclear achievement, participants, and final grades were not found to be so broad in terms of class office conditions that the TLEA scale measured 0.05. Error detected. Second, control, or behaviour, was primarily identified with TLEA. This suggests that TLEA could potentially be used as a disciplinary factor in the test population of schools in subsidiaries. Third, the teacher change rate was attributed to the specific learning location and the support space with the TLA subscriptions, due to the lack of correlation with the support location. Writing from previous research depends on whether there is a relationship between each of the five factors that depend on the test. Be that as it may, that test only made unacceptable orders and important discoveries in the areas of teacher business

Abstract:
Food waste is a global problem – and, at the same time, a great opportunity to feed the world sustainably. Each year, around 1.3bn tons of food are wasted worldwide, which, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), amounts to one-third of all food produced.This is an inefficient way of using resources, has a negative impact on the economy, is a threat to food security, and limits the availability of resources like water and land. With the Sustainable Development Goal 12.3 (SDG 12.3), the United Nations is committed to halving the global amount of food waste and food loss per person by 2030. This contributes to one of the biggest challenges of this century: better food for more people. Food loss is mainly caused by the poor functioning of the production and distribution of the supply chain and/or the institutional and legal framework. Food waste refers to the removal of food from the overall supply that is fit for consumption, or which has been spoiled or expired, mainly due to economic behavior, poor stock management or neglect. The present paper study on household food waste generation and awareness among women in Bhubaneswar smart city, Odisha. The research was conducted using structured questionnaires with studied on 100 women in Bhubaneswar smart city. The present study also focusses on socio demographic profile of the respondents, cause leads to household food waste, knowledge & attitude of household food waste, food waste disposal method and awareness among the women.

It seems that the COVID-19 has not only attacked persons with weak immunity, but it has also exposed the weakness and vulnerabilities of country’s socio-economic structure. India is experiencing the rapid rate of increase in cases which is enough to expose the reality of health infrastructure and vulnerability of Indian population. Initially, the metropolitan cities saw the fast growth in number of cases, which was obvious because of the easy connectivity to the world, foreign nature of pandemic and even the spread of infection is “correlated with population density at a meta level (that is, urban versus rural areas) simply because a denser environment increases the number of possible contacts” (Altaf, 2020). But later, it easily spread to sub-urban and rural areas.
