In the economic history of Medieval South India the term 'guild' (sreni) has assumed importance. The genesis for this etymology goes back to the time the Pre-Christian era when expression nagaram is found mentioned in the Tamil Bhrami inscriptions of the second century BC . The mercantile organization has gained momentum on account of the urbanization and economic growth.

Rural India, a plethora of natural resources and the people harness their traditional knowledge and native skills to produce unique and innovative products with utility values at best prices. But owing to lack of industrial infrastructure and inadequate exposure to business practices, often these products fail to reach wider consumers. Many Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) have taken the intermediary role of transforming these less known products to branded products. They have initiated revolutionizing the commercialization of the rural products at a wider reach.
This paper discusses the role of Centre for Rural Health and Social Education (CRHSE), Yelagiri Hills, in assisting the rural community, to manufacture and market the rural products. It throws light on how this NGO has brought a change in improving the standard and quality of the products to meet the requirement of the consumers and creating a demand for these products, in and around the villages of Vellore district. It deals with the strategies adopted with respect to the Self Help Groups (SHGs) on the formation, training and guidance provided in manufacturing and marketing and how rural products can be branded or an effective reach to the consumers at a wider range.

Biometrics is measurable characteristics specific to an individual. Face detection has diverse applications especially as an identification solution which can meet the crying needs in security areas. While traditionally 2D images of faces have been used, 3D scans that contain both 3D data and registered color are becoming easier to acquire. Before 3D face images can be used to identify an individual, they require some form of initial alignment information, typically based on facial feature locations. We follow this by a discussion of the algorithms performance when constrained to frontal images and an analysis of its performance on a more complex dataset with significant head pose variation using 3D face data for detection provides a promising route to improved performance.Keywords
