Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a common complication with increasing prevalence, to an extent due to lowered cut offs for diagnosis in addition to changing lifestyle. However there is a lot of variations in the screening criteria advocated and widespread screening is still far from complete. Also due to variable healthcare systems across the country there are lots of difficulties in choosing the practical and optimal method for screening across various healthcare systems catering to various strata of society. The current article focuses on discrepancies in various criteria proposed as well as future directions and tries to find out practical solutions for the screening protocol dilemmas.

Today, the world is suffering with food and water scarcity due to population explosion and unevenness in the climatic conditions. The world needs food which will satisfy its nutritional need and will be available at cheaper cost. One can grow the same in very small space. The world needs techniques which one can implement easily and without much of an investment.
Hydroponics is one of such technique. In hydroponics, plants are grown with the use of water and nutritional solution only. The nutritional solution contains the essential nutrients which are required for growth of the crops. The crops are artificially supported in the nutrient mixtures and made to grow using the nutrients provided only.
The water which we treat in our sewage treatment plants is mostly discharged into the drainages. But, as it was containing human excreta, it is rich in the N (nitrogen), P (phosphorous) and K (potassium). N, P, K are the macronutrients which are required for the growth of the plants. So, such water may be used by hydroponics system to grow the plants in the most economical manner.
This project tries to create opportunities for the people having arid land and small spaces to cultivate the crops for their daily need. The waste water generated can be used in this system to make it cost effective. This project tries to make the townships self-sustainable by creating an opportunity to grow the plants in small space by optimizing the resources. This may create a source of income to the townships and home owners.

In the post liberalization era after 1991, a consistent effort is on to shape the national thinking in way that the solution of the problems of small and marginal farmers is impossible while keeping them in agriculture. There is a strong need to push and/or pull out these unviable farmers out of agriculture and pave the way for commercialization and corporatisation of agriculture.Keywords
