Women can play a crucial role in environmental management and protect natural resources such as lakes. For some 30 years, international and UN global conferences have repeatedly recognized that effective sustainable water resource management depends on engaging women at all levels of decisionmaking and implementation; but in developing countries, access of women to scientific and technological education, training and career is limited. The fact that, women are not technically literate is particularly relevant with regard to water supply and sanitation. The Agenda 21 pointed out education and training programmes for women should be launched with regard to the protection of water resources. Studies in the world about local women showed that women who participated in many water projects, their awareness and sensitivity increases to environment and environmental challenges, and their attitudes, ability, empowerment of concern for the environment quality changed. Also, it makes them responsible to take action and acquire skills to identify and help resolve environmental problems. Education is a learning process that happened automatically during their participation on water projects.
Mysore is the second biggest city in the State of Karnataka, India and has several lakes. Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are making efforts for the conservation of these lakes by encouraging participation of local women. However, the efforts are not at the desired level. This paper makes an attempt to understand the role of NGOs in conservation of lakes in Mysore and especially the role of women in these efforts. The paper addresses the following questions:
1. What is the role of NGOs in conservation of lakes in Mysore?
2. How women are involved in the conservation?
3. Whether the NGOs have sufficient expertise in addressing environmental issues related to conservation of lakes?
It is a study based on the information collected from NGOs located in Mysore city. Preliminary findings indicate that majority of the NGOs need training in technical and environmental aspects related to the lakes environment and methodologies for the involvement of local women. The paper concludes with suggestions to NGOs for successful involvement of women in conservation of lakes.

Banana cv. "Njalipoovan" (Musa AB group, Syn. Ney Poovan) is one of the popular varieties cultivated in the homesteads of Kerala. This variety has high export potential due to its edible and keeping quality. Eventhough fertilizer requirement was worked out for different varieties; no attempt has been made to standardize the nutrient requirement of banana cv. "Njalippovan", especially in the loamy sand soils of Onattukara. Field experiments were conducted for two years (1998-2000) at Onattukara Regional Agricultural Research Station, Kayamkulam to study the influence of three levels each of N (100, 200 and 300 g plant-1), P2O5 (100, 200 and 300 g plant-1) and K2O (200,400 and 600 g plant-1) with one absolute control (nopoko) on growth, yield, quality and economics of cultivation. Increasing the rate of application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium improved the growth and yield. Total soluble solids (TSS), total sugars and reducing sugars increased with increasing levels of nitrogen and potassium. Fruit acidity decreased at higher rate of N and K2O. Applied phosphorus had no effect on quality of fruits. Application of N, P2O5 and K2O at 200:200:400 g plant-1 proved to be ideal for maintaining higher yield and benefit: cost ratio.Keywords

Food grain production in India has increased considerably from 50 MT in 1951 to 266 MT by 2013-14. Introduction of green revolution, modernization of agriculture, encouragement to research and extension in agriculture are some of the factors contributed for this growth. However, this is accompanied by considerable increase in the usage of chemical fertilizers starting with the introduction of green revolution in 1960s leading to unsustainable agriculture. The Green Revolution was a technology package and it contains technical component of improved high yielding varieties of two staple cereals (rice and wheat), irrigation and use of fertilizers, pesticides, and better management practices. The high yielding varieties demanded more usage of fertilizers and it is supported by the subsidy policy on fertilizers. In the early 1980s, India introduced New Economic Policy (NEP) which has opened up the economy to privatization and globalization. In the globalized economy agricultural sector became more commercial and production is oriented to export market. This also led to increase in fertilizer consumption. The main objective of this paper is to analyse the trends in the consumption of chemical fertilizers and food grain production in India and to identify the relationship between these two. The study is based on the secondary data and Co-integration Technique and CAGR are used to analyse the trends. The analysis revealed long run relationship between these two variables in India. Encouraged by the increased production, farmers have increased fertilizer consumption without considering the environmental consequences and sustainability of agriculture.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) scenario in India witnessed a paradigm shift with the announcement of the Companies Act, 2013 which made CSR mandatory. Post the Act, there is an increase in the availability of CSR funds. Majority of the companies adopted the model of partnering with local NGOs to plan and implement programs. The Act envisages a positive role for CSR funds to promote social development in the country by complementing public expenditure. In this new role, CSR funds are expected to be invested where there is greater demand for social interventions. In this background, the study makes an attempt to test the hypothesis that CSR interventions are supply-forced rather than demand-driven in the case of Karnataka. The studyobserved greater CSR investments in developed districts and districts which are ranking low on the Human Development Index received a lower share. The analysis shows that CSR interventions are supply-forced rather than demand-driven.Keywords
