The concept and utility of self-help groups (SHGs) are proven facts, and they have significantly contributed to group-led extension activities on a large scale. These SHGs play an instrumental role in empowering their members and in many core aspects of farming. Still, these groups also face various challenges, among which ineffective group decision-making is prominent. Therefore, it is critical to strengthen the SHGs by resolving the issues of stability for strengthening the extension system in light of agriculture and rural development at the national level. Swarm intelligence is a phenomenon through which the swarm of honeybees perform various group tasks and takes crucial group decisions effectively and efficiently, utilizing their collective intelligence. Therefore, the study was intended to map the group decision processes among honeybee swarms and their inbuilt influences to relate them to the decision-making processes among SHGs. The present study inferred that seven key factors, i.e. decision impulse, conviction of the decision, engagement in decision, decision duration, decision alignment, extent of participation and real-time physical negotiation, contributed to the effectiveness of swarm-intelligence-based group decision-makingKeywords

Nutrition plays an important role in the growth and development of the lungs and may also reflect on pulmonary function values. The growth charts and curves derived from high school children of high social class was found to be different from those taken from the children of lower class in an economically backward country. The growing appreciation of the important role played by the respiratory muscles in the pathophysiology of pulmonary diseases suggests that nutrttional status is an important determinant of respiratory muscle structure and function.

A significant rise has been observed in the count of entrepreneurship centres, journals, courses being taught, higher education institutes offering courses on entrepreneurship, and endowed positions since the 1990s. Entrepreneurs born or made, entrepreneurship can be taught or not. These are the questions which have been into debate and discussion for long. But within the debate of what can be taught within the realm of entrepreneurship education and what not, it becomes imperative to understand the key aspects of entrepreneurship development, the need of entrepreneurship, the purpose entrepreneurial ventures are supposed to fulfill, and then design and develop the educational programs accordingly. Therefore, to have entrepreneurship education fulfill the desired objectives, the policy makers, government, educators, academic institutions will need to reform and redesign the entrepreneurship curriculum and educational structure.Keywords
