Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are rapidly on the rise as the world still struggles to cope with infectious and communicable diseases. All countries, irrespective of their stage of economic development, face an increasing burden of NCDs. NCDs including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, obesity and cancers are increasing in alarming proportions.
Objective: To find the magnitude of risk factors of non communicable diseases among postmenopausal women in Delhi
Material and method: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted at Palam, an urbanized village in Delhi. A total 416 postmenopausal women were interviewed, examined and investigated.
Results: The most common risk factors of NCDs among postmenopausal women found in the study were dietary factors, obesity and stress. These women consumed more salt (82.7%) and fats (45.2%), and less vegetable and fruits (64.2%). The magnitude of stress was 53.2% followed by truncal obesity (46.8%) hypertension (39.6%), smoking (17.8%) and diabetes (13.9%).
Conclusions: The burden of risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among the postmenopausal women in Palam Village is high. Programs related to lifestyle change focusing on the need of postmenopausal women should be framed.

Technology innovation and its adoption are two critical success factors for any Business / Organization. Cloud computing is a recent technology paradigm that enable the Organizations or individuals to share various services in a seamless and cost effective manner. Cloud computing is the latest effort in delivering computing resources as a service. It represents a shift away from computing as a product that is purchased, to computing as a service that is delivered to consumers over the internet from large-scale data centres or "clouds". It is paradigm in which the resources can be leveraged on per use basis thus reducing the cost and complexity of service providers, ft is a construct that allows user to access applications that actually resideat location other than user'sown computer or other internet connected devices. Cloud computing use the internet technologies for delivery of IT-Enabled capabilities 'as a service' to any needed users i.e. through cloud computing one can access anything that one want from anywhere to any computer without worrying about anything like about their storage, cost, management and so on. This paper provides a comprehensive study on the motivation factors of adopting cloud computing, review the several cloud deployment and service models, ft also explore certain benefits of cloud computing over traditional IT service environment. Also include security privacy internet dependency and availability as avoidance issues.Keywords
