The rate of cocoon production of adult earthworm, Eisenia fetida kept in the 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 PSR (percent substrate Ratio) media prepared from partly decomposed Nelumbo nucifera waste with soil for 30 days were determined. The worms kept in 50, 75, and 100 PSR media for 30 days showed a gradual increase in their body weight up to 22 days thereafter, a gradual decline until the termination of this study. However, the worms kept in the same media 50, 75 and 100 PSR after 30 days showed an increased value in their body weight over their respective initial weight. On the contrary, all the worms kept in 0 and 25 PSR media showed a gradual decrease in their body weight until the termination of this study. The worms kept in soil alone for 30 days though showed, only 4 cocoons were laid during the course of study due to less organic matters in the medium. The worms in their PSR media for 30 days produced relatively more cocoons. Though than control, the worms in 75 PSR Nelumbo nucifera medium is considered to be a good medium for the culture of earthworm, Eisenia fetida.Keywords

Entrepreneurship plays a dominant role in building a nation. The entrepreneurial traits help in the success of a business. Every entrepreneur must possess certain qualities that enable to devise a strategy in project implementation. The increase in entrepreneurs will help in the development of people, their standard of living, and sustenance. The most important entrepreneurial trait that is commonly required for a successful entrepreneur is innovation. Innovativeness along with other entrepreneurial traits will ultimately lead to success. In this regard, the present study on Consumers’ opinion towards the entrepreneurial spirit of the Royal Enfield Company has been undertaken in Shivamogga city of Karnataka state. For this purpose, a total of 100 respondents are selected by adopting the convenience sampling method. The selected respondents are given a questionnaire and their responses regarding various aspects relating to the entrepreneurial spirit of the Royal Enfield Company are collected. The statistical tools namely simple percentage analysis and correlation analysis are used for analyzing the data. It is concluded that the relationship between inclusive leadership, employee trust, and organizational citizenship behavior is significant.Keywords
