Measles is one of the leading causes of death among young children. With the introduction of measles vaccine in national programme since 1985, the disease burden has reduced. Coverage of the 1st dose of measles is 69.6% as per DLHS-3 survey. In the field conditions measles vaccine efficacy is 85% when given at 9 months of age and approximately 95% when given at >12 months of age. After second dose it becomes 99%. So India is conducting Measles Catch-up Campaign from 14 November to 15 December as supplementary activity as a part of global effort to reduce measles morbidity and mortality (MDG4). Rapid assessment of measles catch-up campaign in a rural block of Haryana. A cross sectional study was conducted in block Lakhanmajra of Rohtak district comprising of 24 villages. Fourty children were assessed randomly, twenty each, from every village and randomly selected school of that village by using standard WHO format for measles rapid assessment form 24.Assessment was done one day after the complete immunisation of that area. Total 1160 children (aged 9 month to 10 yrs) were assessed. A total of 66 children (5.69%) were found to be non-vaccinated, out of which 26 (2.24%)were male and 40 (3.45%)were female. The number of unvaccinated children found in schools were almost double (3.88%) of those found in homes(1.81%), and the difference was found to be statistically significant. the most common reason found by house to house survey was that, the child was out of station followed by unawareness of the campaign, while the most common reason at school was absence from school followed by needle phobia and other reasons. Altogether it is a successful programme. More attention should be focused towards better coverage in schools.Keywords

Marriage is a commitment with love and responsibility for peace, happiness and development of strong family relationship. A good marriage not only produces a satisfied life but it also generates a sense of well-being. Having a handicapped child born into a family and grow into adulthood is one of the most stressful experiences of family can endure some parents perceive the handicapped infant as an extension of themselves and social rejection, embarrassment. Parental reactions may be affected by economic status and marital stability. The current study was designed to examine Marital Adjustment of 40 disabled and 40 non disabled children's parents. The age range of sample was 25-65 years. The results were analysed by using t-ratios. The result concluded that there will be no difference between disabled or non disabled children's parents on marital adjustment.Keywords

Researcher conducted this study to measure the impact of fertilizers and pesticides on the production of agriculture sector. Current research was based on the secondary data related to the usage of fertilizers and the pesticides by Indian farmers for agriculture and the total production of the agriculture sector. Data has been taken trom the official reports of the Ministry of Agriculture and the period reported for the data was of fifteen years starting from 2001 to 2016. It was found from the study that agriculture production and the yield per hectare both are associated with the usage of fertilizers in the country. Agriculture production will get increase with the increased usage of fertilizers. While pesticides do not ensure any increase in the agriculture production. Further, it was found from the study that even if there is an increase in the net irrigated area, but still the agriculture production has not increased.Keywords
