Abstract

The contribution of agricultural mechanization has been well recognized in enhancing the production together with irrigation, biological and chemical inputs of high yielding seed varieties, fertilizers, pesticides and mechanical energy. Indian Green Revolution is regarded as one of the greatest achievements of the 20th century. It has been adopted in India on a large scale benefiting both small, medium and large size farms.The study was conducted in rural agricultural Haryana following the criteria of advancement and backwardness of the agricultural area. For the purpose two districts were selected, one in which certain forces of changes and development were present and other where they were absent. A block was randomly selected from each district i.e. Asandh block from Karnal district and Bawani Khera block from Bhiwani district. From the selected cluster of -villages a list of all the farmers of the village was prepared and from that list 150 respondents were selected randomly keeping in proportion farmers to the total population of the villages identified in the cluster. So on the whole a total of 300 respondents were selected from the identified clusters. The study therefore, assumes that the technology and society are interdependent in the sense that former causes change in the latter which in turn affects the former.The study resulted that As the developments proceeds, the social values also under go a change. The attitude towards material progress tend to be more positive with technological improvement. Consequently, the things which were valued most in the past lose their importance with changes in technology.

Abstract

In recent years, inclusive education has risen to prominence, which changed the traditional roles of teachers, from using a "talk and chalk" method, to being more pupil-centred. The role of teachers in mainstream schools has become more varied and challenging. Research has shown that casual factors for stress include role overload, poor learner behaviour, lack of resources the number of individuals for whom teachers are responsible, diversity in individuals with whom they have to work, resistance and lack of motivation of co-workers During study in sirsa city of Haryanaa sample of 200 primary and secondary school teachers of government and private school was taken by random sampling technique It was found that there is no significant difference in the occupational stress of primary and secondary school teachers in relation to type of school (Government and Private).

Occupational Stress has become increasing common in teaching profession largely because of increased job complexities and increased economic pressure on individual. A major source of distress among teachers is the result of failure of school to meet the social needs and job demands of the teachers. This paper analytically discusses the occupational stress among primary and secondary school teachers in relation to sex(male and female) in sirsa. "The occupational stress index" was used to measuare the extent of stress which employee perceive arising from various constituents and condtion of their jobs. During study in sirsa city of haryana a sample of 200 primary and secondary school teachers of government and private school was taken by random sampling technique.The analysis indicates that there is significant difference in occupational stress ofprimary male and female as secondary male teachers are found to be more prone to occupational stress than secondary female teachers.

Abstract

Mere academic knowledge without deep ischolar_maining in moral and spiritual values will only fashion lop-sided personalities who may become rich in material possessions, but will remain poor in self-understanding, peace, and social concern. Emphasizing this fact, Swami Vivekananda said, "Excess of knowledge and power, without holiness, makes human beings devils." In order for values education to become part and parcel of mam stream schooling, the closest possible links need to be found between it and the world of teachers and schools. Teaching has undergone a revolution over the past decade or so. Updated research into the role of the teacher has uncovered the true potential of the teacher (and, through the teachers, the school) to make a difference. Much of this research insight is captured in the notion of 'Quality Teaching', a perspective that speaks of intellectual depth, inter-relational capacity and self-reflection as being among the factors that characterize the kind of learning that makes a difference. There are important synergies between these perspectives and those of values education. Making these links has potential to release the true power of values education and to elevate it to a mainstream issue for all schools. The address will explore these links and demonstrate how other frameworks and resources available to teachers can be incorporated into a comprehensive and powerful values education for all schools Students are led to believe that by developing the ability to gather, store, and retrieve vast information, they stand educated. But, Swami Vivekananda points out, "Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs not there, undigested all your life. We must have life-building, man-making and character-making assimilation of ideas."

Abstract

Leptospirosis has been recognized as an important emerging global public health problem because of its epidemic proportions and increasing incidence in both developing and developed countries. The disease is endemic in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Andaman, Karnataka, Maharashtra. It has also been reported from Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Puducherry. It is an infectious disease caused by pathogenic bacteria called leptospires which has over 20 serogroups and more than 200 serovars. Man is infected either directly through contact with an infected animal or indirectly by water or soil contaminated with the urine of an infected animal. Human-to-human transmission occurs only very rarely. Leptospirosis can manifest in many ways. Clinical diagnosis is difficult because of the varied and non-specific presentation. In this situation, ELISA tests is particularly useful in making early diagnosis. Other serological tests available are indirect flouroscent antibody test (IFAT), indirect hemagglutination tests (IHAT), latex agglutination tests (LAT), micro capsule agglutination tests (MicAT), counter immuneelectrophoresis (CIE) and CFT etc. Antibiotic treatment is effective within 7 to 10 days of infection and it should be given immediately on diagnosis or suspicion. In severe cases, admission to a hospital is necessary. Identification of the potential risk factors would help understand the transmission dynamics of the disease and formulate public health interventions.

Abstract

Quantum leap of non-communicable diseases becoming a challenging dilemma among the post -menopausal women especially in developing countries like India where most of the women are suffering from metabolic syndrome, which is a crew of risk factors that upsurge the risk of developing diabetes and cardio-vascular diseases. Therefore, the main aim of the study was to find out the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and associated risk factors among the post-menopausal women of North India for an early screening.It was a cross sectional study of urban women, a total of 382 subjects aged above 45 years was selected using stratified random sampling. The study avails a standardized questionnaire which elicits the data regarding the demographic profile and biochemical parameter. The result shows that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among the post-menopausal was 41.5 per cent. Most of respondent were adopting three meal dietary pattern followed by four, six, two, respectively. Dietary habits and physical inactivity resulting from agile improvements in living condition may be the causes for the hike. Thus, it can be concluded that metabolic syndrome is an emerging problem among post-menopausal women.

Abstract

The study attempts to examme the nature and extent of farm mechanization mrelation to changes occurred in sociocultural and economic life of the rural people as caste relationship, The study in no way suggests that all social changes are caused by farm mechanisation, nor it does claim that a certamproportion of such changes are due only to farm mechanization. What is attempted here is the way farm mechanization has affected social change. The study was conducted in rural agricultural Haryana following the criteria of advancement and backwardness of the agricultural area. For the purpose two districts were selected, one in which certain forces of changes and development were present and other where they were absent. Ablock was randomly selected from each district i.e. Asandh block from Karnal district and Bawam Khera block from Bhiwam district. From the selected cluster of - villages a list of all the farmers of the village was prepared and from that list 150 respondents were selected randomly keeping in proportion farmers to the total population of the villages identified in the cluster. So on the whole a total of 300 respondents were selected from the identified clusters. The study therefore, assumes that the technology and society are interdependent in the sense that former causes change in the latter which in turn affects the former.The study resulted that the attitude towards untouchability showed that more of tractor owners than bullock owners were agamst it and found more liberal in caste relations. Further there was greater reduction in dependence on different servicing castes in case of tractor-owners than bullock owners. Likewise inter caste relations have also undergone change more in case of tractor-owners than bullock owners. There were more tractor owners than bullock owners who were willing to enter into different kinds of social relationship with other castes of different standing, even to the extent of interdinning.

Abstract

Combined with other technological innovations, farm mechanization has brought about great change in economy of society. As farming has made less arduous; the increased productivity led to increase in production; subsistence production is substituted by production for the market, however, the same has been affected greatly by the varied levels of farm mechanization Like other aspects of social life, family and marriage is also affected by technological changes The study attempts to examine the impact of farm mechanization on the family and marriage The study was conducted in rural agricultural Haryana following the criteria of advancement and backwardness of the agricultural area. For the purpose two districts were selected, one in which certain forces of changes and development were present and other where they were absent. A block was randomly selected from each district, i.e., Asandh block from Karnal district and Bawani Khera block from Bhiwani district. From the selected cluster of -villages a list of all the farmers of the village was prepared and from that list 150 respondents were selected randomly keeping in proportion farmers to the total population of the villages identified in the cluster. So on the whole a total of 300 respondents were selected from the identified clusters. Association between selection authority and farm mechanization was found to be significant Associated with the family is the institution of marriage about which tractor-owners were found more liberal than bullock owners. This so particular in case of giving freedom to children in respect of selection of marriage partner, rigid adherence to caste consideration in marriage, regarding formal talk of concerned persons before marriage etc. Likewise, education of the partner was also considered important by tractor owners than bullock owners.
