Abstract

Empowerment of women would mean equipping women to be economically independent and personally self-reliant with a positive self-esteem to enable them to face any difficult situation. Moreover, they should be able to contribute to the development activities of the country. For empowering women economically, we need to enlarge her choices and access to various opportunities and also build her capacity for taking up successfully income generating activities and compete favourably in the market. Women's role in agriculture is significant as more than 80 per cent of the economically active women are engaged in agriculture and allied activities. This trend still continues. It is fact that women grow half of the world's food but own hardly any land. The need of empowering women for rural development can hardly be under-estimated. Rural women should be empowered in all respects. That is why it requires a specific study to know the status of rural women at macro level. Women's share in various segments during census might be showing a low degree participation, however, in practice, women hold substantial share in the work force of various sectors viz. 90 per cent in informal sector, 70 per cent in agriculture sector, 35.33 per cent in allied sector, 46.1 per cent in the khadi village industries, 65.5 per cent in handloom and sericulture.

Abstract

Eras have come, and eras have gone, but the dilemma of women is not likely to change. Time has helplessly examined women suffering in the form of discrimination, exploitation, degradation, humiliation etc. From the last decade's crime data, we see sharp number of crimes recorded under cruelty by husband and his relatives. It also seems that the same category has had the most dramatic increase over the years. In this regarding, the study was conducted on 200 rural women in Kurukshetra district of Haryana state. Information were collected from 12 villages with well-structured interview schedule as per objectives of the study. It was found that more than two-third of the respondents (71.0%) were conscious about reservation of seat for women in Panchayats, followed by prohibition of discrimination based on caste, sex, religion and place of birth (64.5%) and provision of maternity relief (59.0%). It was also found that more than two-fifth of the respondents (63.0%) were aware about the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 followed by dowry prohibition act (57.5%) and the medical termination of pregnancy (54.0%).It was also advocated that create healthy environment for women and girls everywhere by supporting exertions to end violence against them.

Abstract

A study is carried out to evaluate the efficiency of synthesized sugar based alkyl polyglucosides (APG₁₀, APG₁₂, APG₁₄) for washing petroleum oil contaminants from soil in the shallow perched aquifers. Their efficiencies were compared with other commercially important non-ionic surfactants. viz. Tween-20, Tween-40 and Brij-58. The APG₁₀ was synthesized from anhydrous glucose and decyl alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst in a cost effective manner. The spectroscopic tools viz, FTIR, NMR, thin layer and mass chromatographic techniques were used for structural elucidation of APG₁₀. Based on the measurement of critical micelle concentration, the preferred concentrations of aqueous surfactant solutions for soil washing are determined. The batch washing experiments have shown that the oil removal efficiencies decrease in the following order APG₁₄>Brij-58>APG₁₂ >APG₁₀>Tween-40>Tween-20. Biodegradability test of the APG₁₀ have been carried out by modified OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation&Development) screening method to evaluate its environmental compatibility. More than 90% surfactants are found to degrade within one week period in river water.

Abstract

The dowry system is a cultural system in India in which the parents of the bride pay a large sum of money, expensive jewellery and other gifts such as car or other household items to the parents of the groom during marriage. The social and cultural efforts of the dowry system are devastating to the society as a whole. Dowry is the result of long standing power in balance between men and women and thus seriously compromises the well being, productivity and contribution of one half the populations. Therefore it was important to bring to light the issues affecting women in this reason. Two hundred women were randomly selected from Karnal and Sirsa districts of Haryana and out of those of 39, who were affected the problem related to dowry in both reasons. It was found that more than half of respondents (51.28%) reported that dowry was demanded before marriage, 30.77% at the time of marriage while 17.95% demanded it after marriage. The maximum numbers of cases regarding dowry demand were made by their husbands (41.03%) in the form of vehicles, cash-money. Jewellery etc. The core reason for dowry was greed like purchase of motor vehicles, business expansion and employment. Customs and ritual were also found as main reason for dowry. Concerted efforts are required to curb violence against women regarding dowry in Haryana.

Abstract

Direct seeded rice (DSR), most likely older method of crop establishment, is gaining popularity because of its low-input demand. It offers certain advantages i.e. it saves labour, requires less water, less drudgery, early crop maturity, low production cost, better soil physical conditions for following crops and less methane emission, provides better option to be the best fit in different cropping systems. Comparative yields in DSR can be obtained by adopting various cultural practices like, selection of suitable cultivars, proper sowing time, optimum seed rate, proper weed and water management. It can also be stated that soil problems related to rice and following crops can be solved with direct seeding. There are several constraints associated with shift from PTR to DSR, such as high weed infestation, evolution of weedy rice, increase in soil borne pathogens, nutrient disorders, poor crop establishment, lodging, incidence of blast, brown leaf spot etc. By overcoming these constraints DSR can prove to be a very promising, technically and economically feasible alternative to PTR. The contextual matrix and constraints associated with adoption of DSR are discussed in this paper. The study was conducted in Kurukshetra district of Haryana state. From this district, two blocks namely Thanesar and Pehowa were selected randomly. The data presented that constraints regarding input and marketing perceived by respondents was high cost of seed and 'lack of marketing facilities in village1 ranked first constraint, respectively

Abstract

Eve-teasing or sexual harassment of women in public places is one of the most challenging social problems in both rural and urban India which deprives them of basic human rights. The constitution of India has granted equal rights to both men and women but still women face extreme discrimination and violence and thus occupies low status in Society. The study was conducted in Kamal and Sirsa districts of Haryana state. From these districts two blocks namely Indri from Kamal and Bada Gudha from Sirsa district were selected randomly. From the selected blocks, four villages namely Kheri Maan Singh and Jain Pura Sidhana (Indri) and Birn wala, BurjBhangu (Bada Gudha) were drawn randomly. From the selected villages, 200 respondents were also selected randomly. Interview Schedule was prepared to collect the desired information as per objectives of the study. Overwhelming majority (81.39%) remained silent, 55.81% gave verbal threat to accused and 16.27% complained to parents. Likewise, 11.62% each complained to the parents of accused and slapped/hitted the accused. In both regions maximum numbers of respondents remained silent.

Abstract

Crime against women has been a bane of India's development efforts. With arcane customs like sex being a taboo in India, Sati, and Dowry, and the overall lower status of women further exacerbates these crimes. The study was conducted on 200 rural women in Kurukshetra district of Haryana state. Data were collected from 12 villages with well structured interview schedule as per objectives of the study. It was found from the field of the study that maximum number of the respondents (43.0%) had low level ofknowledge about laws related to crime against women followed by medium level ofknowledge (31.0%) andhigh (26.0%). More than one-third of the respondents (38.0%) had maximum knowledge about Rape, Section 3 7 6 IPC followed by Kidnapping and Abduction, Sec. 359369 (35.5%) and Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 (35.0%). Factors like age, caste, education, occupation, mass media exposure and socio-economic status of the respondents were found significantly associated with level ofknowledge about laws related to crime against women. It was also suggested that Efforts are needed to make rural women more aware about different laws related to crime against women and knowledge should be imparted to them through trainings.

Abstract

Increase in Population is a major burning issue in India. With increase in population, the requirement for food is increasing day by day. To achieve the requirement of food production the use of chemical fertilizers, toxic pesticides, and hybrids are increasing day by day and due to this the human health and nature are being adversely affected. Organic Farming is the only way to protect ourselves and nature from deadly chemicals. Now a days among the farmers the knowledge and attitude about organic agriculture in India is increasing. So keeping in mind the importance of organic method verses conventional method and to keep the soil alive, a study was conducted among 120 organic and conventional farmers. The study was carried out in four districts of Haryana state namely Hisar, Bhiwani, Kaithal, and Sonepat to know the attitude and knowledge level along with factors associated with knowledge level. Results revealed that half of the organic respondents (50%) had medium knowledge level where as 33.34 % and 16.66 % of respondent had high and low knowledge level respectively where as 48.33% of conventional farmers had medium knowledge and 38.33% and 13.34% were having low and high knowledge level respectively. Attitude of the farmers regarding organic farming showed that pest pressure was major problem in organic farming, got rank I, food security and health can attained through organic, rank II and organic was comparative complex than conventional got ranked III with weighted mean score 2.61, 2.55,2.41 respectively. Socio-economic factors significantly associated with knowledge level of adopter farmers were age, education, family type, size of land holding, mass media exposure, annual income, social participation, and extension contacts. Overall organic farming is a new system of agriculture that repairs, maintains and improves the ecological balance.

Abstract

In comparison to traditional crops, horticulture crop production is a highly specialised, sophisticated, and profitable endeavour being grown by the farmers. Association between education and level of knowledge was found highly significant. An overwhelming majority (88.7%) of the respondents who had education up to graduation and above level had high level of knowledge about horticultural crops. On the other hand annual family income was found highly significant with the level of knowledge. The relationship between socioeconomic position and knowledge level was found to be highly significant. Nearly three-fourth (78.7%) of the respondents who had high socioeconomic status had high level of knowledge. Association between caste and level of adoption was found highly significant with the level of adoption. It was found that more than half of the respondents (51.0%) were from the general caste and had a high level of adoption. There was a significant association between the type of family and the level of adoption. Regarding socio-economic factors seventy five percent of the respondents agreed that their income increase through horticultural crops. It was also found that 61.9 percent of the respondents were agreed that use of chemical fertilizer decreased in horticultural crops.

Abstract

The investigation was carried out during 2020-21 in North west Kaithal district of Haryana state among 120 farmers. The study aimed to investigate the nature and extent of level of adoption along with factors associated with adoption of Super straw Management System (SMS) among farmers and reasons for adoption and non adoption of SMS. Socio-economic impact of SMS on adoption was also acknowledged. Results revealed that 2/5th of the farmers (40.00%) had low level of adoption while 33.33% had medium and rest (26.67%) of the farmers had greater level of the acceptance of SMS. Age, degree of education, amount of land holding, income, social organisation, participation, and SES were all socioeconomic characteristics that were strongly associated with adoption level. Reasons for adoption of SMS by overwhelming majority of the farmers (85.00%) that SMS system attached to combine harvesters enables the machine to cut the straw in small pieces and distribute it behind it regularly on the field. Regarding other benefits near about 3/5th of the farmers were agreed that it increases average yield of wheat by 2-4% as compared to conventional practices while some of the reasons for non adoption of Super straw management system, 86.67% of the farmers were agreed that high power requirement, i.e., 8-10 hp is required as compared to conventional combine harvester and 60% of the farmers reported that approximate 6 litres of extra fuel consumption with combine harvester is required. Farmers reported an increase in mass media exposure (71.67 percent), urban contacts/movement (63.33 percent), social mobility pattern (58.33 percent), and extension contacts (53.33 percent), etc. as the overall socioeconomic impact of SMS adoption Allover adoption of SMS is a beneficial environment friendly agricultural farm technology.

Abstract

Sustainable horticulture farming is now an unavoidable necessity for environmental rehabilitation and food security. Horticultural crops constitute a significant portion of the total agricultural produce in India. The government of India has proposed to double farmer's income by the year 2022. Horticulture sector has emerged as an important source of income in Haryana and farmers have also started taking up horticulture crops as a separate viable economic activity. The present study was conducted in Fatehabad and Hisar districts of Haryana state. On the whole, 160 respondents were interviewed with the help of well-structured interview schedule. For assessing the knowledge and adoption of horticultural crops under MIDH for sustainable crop production, data were collected by personal interviews with the respondents at their home/ farm. It was found that more than one third of the respondents had partial knowledge about vegetable nursery raising method and subsidies for purchase of tractors and tillers. Two fifth of the respondent had no knowledge about cold storage capacity. It was found that 62.5 per cent of the respondents had fully adopted the fruits crops followed by 43.8 percent who had full adoption of vegetable crops. Only 37.4 percent respondents had partial adoption of vegetable crops. Not a single respondents had adoption of drone and crop scouting technology. Regarding the social impact of horticultural crops under MIDH four fifth majority of the respondents reported improvement in health and education. Regarding the economic impact three fourth percent of the respondents agreed that there was increase in income. Regarding the environmental overwhelming majority of the respondents agreed that degraded land can be utilized.

Abstract

The present study was carried out in the Hisar and Nuh districts of Haryana state in 2020 among 256 aged women living in urban and rural areas. The objectives of the study were to know the nature and extent of social problems faced by elderly women and to know the nature and extent social problems among the elderly women along with socio-economic factors associated with social problems. Twelve types of social problems were explored. The results made it abundantly evident that Hisar (65.60 percent) and Nuh (40.60 percent) districts had the 'medium' level of social difficulties among the majority of elderly women living in urban areas The extent of social problems was found 'medium' among most of the elderly women living in the rural area of Hisar (57.80%) and Nuh districts (35.90%). The overall extent of social problems was 'high' for 12.50 and 42.20 per cent in Hisar and Nuh districts, respectively. The findings stated that the percentage of status of relationships of the respondents with family members was 'average' (41.40%). A maximum number of the respondents (45.70%) were of the view that their selfstatus, deteriorated after attaining the age of 60 years (45.70%).Highly significant association was observed between social problems and age of the aged women from a rural area (χ²=44.99**) and significant in urban areas (χ²=09.44*) while a significant association was found between the education of the respondents from rural areas and level of social problems (χ²=12.73*).

Abstract

The Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture is a centrally sponsored scheme. The main goal of this programme is to maximise the horticulture sector's potential, which includes fruits, vegetables, root and tuber crops, mushrooms, spices, flowers, fragrant plants, coconut, cashew, and cocoa. The present study was conducted in Fatehabad and Hisar districts of Haryana state. On the whole, 160 respondents were interviewed with the help of well-structured interview schedule. An attempt has been made to study the level of knowledge and adoption of MIDH among farmers and it was found that more than fifty percent of the respondents (56.8%) belonged to 36-50 years age group and had more than 6 lakh annual family income. Maximum number of the respondents (50.6%) had high level of mass- media exposure. The majority (78.1%) of the respondent had full knowledge about the pattern for planting fruit crops. Regarding the adoption of horticultural crops and production technology cent percent (100%) of the respondents had no adoption of crop scouting technology in horticultural crops. Ninety percent agreed that degraded land could be better utilized in horticultural crops. Regarding level of knowledge 70.6 percent of the respondents had high knowledge related to horticultural crops.

Abstract

Herein, we have investigated the mixed micellar behavior of carboxylate anionic dimeric surfactants (CAD12 and CAD16) with commercial surfactants; anionic type i.e., sodium dodecyl sulfate, cationic i.e., cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and nonionic i.e., polyethylene glycol p-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-phenyl ether. The CMC values of mixed surfactants obtained from conductivity data decrease with a mole fraction of dimeric surfactants. The micellar characteristics (ideal CMC) and mutual interaction parameters (β) have been computed with the aid of theoretical models proposed by Clint, and Rubingh. In addition to this, thermodynamic parameters of micellization like ∆G_mic⁰, ∆H_mic⁰ , and ∆S_mic⁰ were evaluated and discussed.

Abstract

The pandemic has affected every aspect of human life, including the agricultural sector. Farmers are the essential components of the food supply chain and play a crucial role in ensuring food security for millions of people worldwide. However the pandemic has severely impacted the health and well-being of the farmers, exacerbating existing challenges they already face. The pandemic has a significant impact on the health of farming families in rural areas of Haryana. The study highlights the impact of COVID-19 on physical and mental health of the farming households. Furthermore, it examine the changes in health seeking behaviour, access to healthcare facilities and the availability of essential medicines and vaccines. The situation overall point towards greater investment in rural healthcare infrastructure to ensure that rural households have access to quality healthcare services. By prioritizing the health and well- being of rural families, we can build a more resilient healthcare system that can withstand future challenges such as pandemics.

Abstract

Media is unquestionably a very large and effective form of communication. The growth of India's rural youth is significantly influenced by social media. India's rural areas are most important part of India because 70 percent of the country's people reside in villages. The study was conducted in rural areas of 2 cultural zones Nardak and Bagar of Haryana purposively. The study was conducted in the Hisar and Karnal districts of Haryana State. Distraction and stress were ranked first and second, respectively, in terms of the effects of social media on several facets of mental health. The results also showed that more than 40% of respondents reported both a severe and moderate level of social media's impact on stress and distraction. It revealed that the majority of the respondents (70%) reported that a lack of interaction with neighbours and relatives affected their social health and scored first. Further results showed that more than 55 percent of the respondents reported that a lack of interaction with teachers and parents also affected social health. A low degree of impact on all aspects of health was experienced by 38.61 percent of respondents, followed by a medium level of impact by 19.44 percent.
