Field experiment was conducted in sodic soil (pH 8. 9 ESP- 31.5 %) to study the extent of reclamation achieved due to basal application of raw spentwash (RSW) and to study the effect of primary spentwash (SW) used for ferti-irrigation on extent of reclamation incidentally achieved due to spentwash application in comparison with gypsum and also on growth and yield of paddy. Highest grain, straw yield and nutrient uptake was recorded in RSW @ 100 % GR+100 % RDN through SW (3 splits) and lowest was recorded in T1 which received gypsum @50 % GR + recommended NPK. Per cent increase in grain yield 47.34 per cent (T9) was noticed in spentwash amended plot compared to gypsum treatment (T1). Reduction in soil pH was highest in T9 (RSW @ 100% GR+100% RDN through SW (3splits)) and lowest in T1 (Gypsum@50% GR+ Rec.NPK). Application of RSW @ 100% GR+100% RDN through SW (4 splits) recorded significantly lower exchangeable sodium content and ESP compared to other treatments. The cost economics of cultivation revealed that highest benefit cost ratio (2.69) was obtained with raw spentwash @ 100 % GR+ 100 % RDN through treated spentwash in 3 splits while the lowest 0.53 was with gypsum @ 100 % GR+ rec.NPK.Keywords

Engineering graduates of today are required to possess a blend of hard and soft skills to perform productively in a working environment. The soft skills namely creative thinking, work ethics and learning habits (all three grouped together and called as "Personal Enrichment Skills (PLES)" in this paper) are required to a great extent by the corporate world. This study focuses on assessing the extent to which students and faculty perceive that opportunity is available for the students to enhance their Personal Enrichment Skills and the perceived extent of its utilization. Research instruments with a 05 point Likertscale and 11 items were developed (separately for faculty and students), its reliability with Cronbach's alpha measures and content validity were ensured. The data collected was analyzed using the software "Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS)" by conducting two tests namely independent sample t-test and paired sample t-test, both item wise and dimension wise. Inferences were drawn and conclusions on the perceived availability of opportunities and the perceived utilization of the existing opportunities by UG engineering students to enhance their Personal Enrichment Skills were made.Keywords

Learning Improvement for student is a Massive challenge for Every Engineering Institution. Now a days employers are demanding engineering graduates with skills. So, identifying required improvements of learning skill-gaps, barriers of utilizing students supporting facilities are the huge challenges based on attainment of Graduate Attributes outlined by Washington accord. This work aims to identify student requirements to achieve graduate attributes. This study focuses on assessing the extent to which students perceive that opportunity is available for grooming their learning enhancement and the extent of its usage. Research instruments were developed (separately for faculty and students) to collect data. Questionnaire Based Data collection was used in this work. AHP to multiple criteria decision making for prioritizing students requirements. From this proposed method, the necessary improvements are identified to achieve the Graduate Attributes in classroom at an engineering institution. Using Saatty Scale integrating AHP with QFD Can help to prioritize Process Improvements. This works helps to suggest more key development aspects to enhance the quality of learning and increasing Productivity in an engineering education institution.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted during Kharif 2015 in a farmer’s field to study the effect of foliar spray of humic acid fortified with zinc and boron on growth and yield of capsicum. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with 16 treatment combinations. The results revealed that significantly higher plant height, total number of branches plant-1, number of leaves per plant-1, SPAD meter reading, dry matter production plant-1, Number of fruits plant-1, yield plant-1, per cent fruit set, weight of ten fruits, fruit yield (54.23 t ha-1) were recorded in treatment receiving RDF+FYM applied to soil and 3 foliar sprays of zinc fortified humic acid extracted from poultry manure at 0.50 per cent and it was at par with the treatment receiving RDF+FYM applied to soil and 3 foliar sprays of zinc fortified humic acid extracted from coffee pulp at 0.50 per cent.Keywords
