RMC is a readily available product any time and every time now a days in major metros and towns across India and it is replacing traditional site mixed concreting at construction sites across India due to its various advantages. The RMC industry is witnessing a sweeping changes in the customer mindset that large number of concrete users are migrating the Ready-mixed concrete from the traditional site-mixed concrete across the country and not much importance is being given to the cost factor due to the product advantages and easy availability in all the important cities across India.
Today ready-mixed concrete as a product is continuously evolving and moving forward by not only replacing traditional SMC but also giving a lot of value addition to the construction industry by offering new generation special green concrete products through continuous innovation, research and product development by the RMC Companies in India and green marketing is gaining more significance day by day.
This pilot market study concept research paper aims to bring out the growth of RMC Industry in India and customer preference on smc vs rmc and recent developments and availability of new RMC special green products in the market using greener industrial by products like Flyash and GGBS as partial replacements to OPC Cement which is not so eco friendly. The benefits and the value additions of these products to the end consumers is also highlighted with focus on the green marketing initiatives for growth for these products in future.

Herbal cosmetics are formulated, using different cosmetic ingredients to form the base in which one or more herbal ingredients are used to cure various skin ailments. The name itself suggests that herbal cosmetics are natural and free from all the harmful synthetic chemicals which otherwise may prove to be toxic to the skin. Compared to other beauty products, natural cosmetics are safe to use. Cosmeceuticals are cosmetic-pharmaceutical hybrid products intended to improve the health and beauty of the skin by providing a specific result, ranging from acne-control and anti-wrinkle effects, to sun protection. Calamine lotion is widely used as an antiseptic and protective for its cooling and soothing effect in various skin disorders. Instead of traditional synthetic products different plant parts and plant extracts are used in this study to procure calamine lotion having natural humectants, e.g. aloe-vera gel and honey. Herbal cosmetics are the preparations used to enhance the human appearance. The purpose of this study is to compare the semi synthetic activity of glycerin with other humectants in terms of their emollient properties to ensure whether calamine lotion can be formulated using natural humectants or not.Keywords

Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is an optimization problem in operational research where customers of known demands are supplied by a central depot. The aim of the problem is to minimize total route cost while satisfying the capacity constraint. Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows is an important variant of VRP. In this every customer should be served within its time windows along with capacity constraint. This is an NP-hard problem, thus many meta heuristic approaches have been proposed to find the optimal solution. In this paper Genetic algorithm (GA) has been used to solve the problem. An attempt has been made to improve already existing GA. The proposed algorithm (EGA) uses new representation scheme and elitism mechanism to solve the problem. The proposed approach is validated on standard Solomon's benchmark problems and computational results shows that the proposed approach is effective and efficient.Keywords
