Nutrition is involved in taking in and utilization of food substances by which growth, repair and maintenance of the body are accomplished. The nurse plays a key role in patient care. She is often the closest professional to the patient, spending most of the time with him. The present study was conducted to assess the existing knowledge of nurses on nutrition along with some background characteristics. One hundred and twenty nurses from three government hospitals and three private hospitals of three different districts were administered a questionnaire comprising of questions related to nutrition.Findings revealed that half of the total respondents (50 %) belonged to younger age group (20- 30 years), 49.2 per cent had diploma in nursing and 49.1 per cent had 1-5 years of professional experience. Majority (91 %) of the respondents had medium level of mass media exposure. Around 61.7 per cent had medium level of nutritional knowledge. There was a need for increasing the nutritional knowledge of nurses, so proper training on nutrition education should be conducted frequently.Keywords

Nutritional knowledge and attitudes of medical functionaries from government and private hospitals in selected district of Assam, India was studied. About 90 per cent of practicing nurses had favorable attitudes toward nutrition. Age of the nurses exhibited positive influence towards the nutritional knowledge, while general educational qualification and mass media exposure had no significant correlation with the attitudes. Relationship between the nutritional knowledge of respondents with their opinion towards the need of their nutritional knowledge revealed that there was highly and positive significant correlation between nutritional knowledge of the respondents with their opinion towards the need of nutritional knowledge of nurses. Knowledgeable nurses had more positive attitudes toward their own role in nutrition education and toward the team approach to health care.Keywords

A well structured interview schedule was administered on hundred rural households of eleven villages of Jorhat district of Assam during 2016-17 to conduct a survey specially on accumulation and utilization of agricultural wastes in rural households. Result indicated that majority of the farmers (30%) were of middle age group (30-40 years), mostly having a nuclear family (73%) with 1-5 members with an educational qualification upto 10th standard. Majority of the respondents are marginal farmer with a land holding upto 10 acres and earn their livelihood primarily from farming. Most of the households cultivated paddy as monocrop. However, Rabi and Kharif vegetables were also grown by many households depending upon the land situation. Data reveals that 10,396 qt rice straw, 18,193 qt of rice husk, 2004.64 kg of water hyacinth and 12000 number of areca sheath are produced as agricultural wastes among the 100 households. The study also reveals that there is a huge gap between the availability of agricultural wastes and awareness for economic utilizing these wastes.Keywords

Waste management is the collection, transport, processing, managing and monitoring of waste material which is produced by the act of human and generally carried out to reduce their detrimental effect on environment, human health and aesthetic. Waste management has been considered as one of the major problem in developing and developed country. Rapid urbanization and population growth contributes to generation of huge quantity of agricultural waste in the country, causing environmental degradation. Conversion of agricultural waste into organic resources or organic fertilizer is an effective approach to address proper waste management in urban and semi urban areas. A sustainable agricultural production in the country can be achieved either through low input sustainable agriculture or organic farming. Amongst the Asia and Pacific regions, Peoples’ Republic of China produces highest quantity of agricultural waste, followed by India. It is estimated that nearly 700 million tonnes of organic waste is generated annually in India which is either burned or land filled (Mane and Smita, 2011), and nearly 700 million tonnes of annually generated organic agricultural waste can be easily converted to organic fertilizer through Vermicomposting, which in turn will promote organic farming, employment generation and decrease pollution. Organic farming by vermicompost can sequesters huge amount of atmospheric carbon and bury them back into the soil as soil organic carbon, improving soil fertility and also mitigating global warming.Keywords
