The present investigation was conducted on school going children (9-15 years) from Gurgaon city, Haryana state India. A total of 200 obese and 50 healthy children (as non-obese) were selected randomly. A well-structured questionnaire was developed and used to gather information on food habits, physical activity and dietary pattern of the children. The study revealed that more than 80% of the obese children were taking either mid-morning, tea time or bed time snacks. Intake of fried food and weekly frequency of food consumption outside home was higher (59%) in obese children as compared to control group children. Playing of games was the main activity of non-obese group children (36%).Majority of obese children (78%) were not doing any physical activity and only 7% obese children were doing cycling and 13% were doing walking. Majority of non-obese group children spent less than 2hrs for TV and internet whereas 81% of obese children spent more than 2hrs for TV and internet. It was noticed that more than fifty percent of obese children spent less than 6hrs for sleeping.Keywords

The present investigation was conducted on school going children (9-15 years) from Hisar and Gurgaon city, Haryana state India. A total of 400 obese children were selected randomly (200 each from both cities). Hundred healthy school going children having no history of obesity and matching the same age as those of obese children were taken as control (50 each from both cities). The information on socio-economic status, food habits and dietary pattern of the children was gathered using self-developed questionnaire. The study revealed that prevalence of obesity was higher (7.41%) among school going children from Gurgaon city as compared to Hisar city (5.79%). It was observed that mean values for most of the anthropometric parameters for obese respondents were significantly higher than non-obese group respondents.The study revealed that a higher percentage (57.5%) of obese children were from 12-15yr age group. Majorities of non-obese group (76%) as well as obese children were from nuclear families having up to five members in the family. Total monthly income of the family of obese respondents was above Rs. 15,000. Ten percent of non-obese children's fathers were above graduate whereas 30 to 36% of obese children's fathers were above graduate in Gurgaon and Hisar city,respectively. Income of the family of obese respondents was found positively associated with weight of obese respondents.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

Current studyaims to determine the current situtation of financial assets and liabilities of household sector in India. Researchers have also measured the relationship between household sector savings and the changes in financial assets or financial liabilities of the household sector. Study was based on the secondary data derived trom the annual publication of Reserve Bank of India tittles 'Statistics of Indian Economy'. Study covered the period trom 2011-12 to 2016-17. In order to determine the current situtaion of the financial assets and liabilities ofhousehold sector in India, researchers have used graphical and tabular form of data representation while for measuring the impact of changes in financial assets or financial libaiities of the household sector on the savings ofhoushold sector, linear regression analysis has been used. It was found that the changes in financial assets of the household sector has a positive and significant impact on the savings of household sector while changes in financial liabilities has a negative and insignificant impact on the savings ofhousehold sector.Keywords
