Abstract

The physical properties of jack fruit seed are essential for the design and facilities for the harvesting handling conveying, separation, drying, aeration, storing, and processing. Various types of cleaning, grading and separation equipments are designed on the basis of their physical properties. The length came between 22.06 mm to 35.68 mm. whereas the width was ranged between 10.66 mm to 21.78 mm. The thickness was in between 8.72 mm to 16.50 mm. The arithmetic mean diameter of jackfruit seed were ranging from 15.02 mm to 23.80 mm. The geometric mean diameter was 13.30 mm to 22.61 mm and the sphericity was found between 0.53 to 0.73. The jackfruit seed showed bulk density as 0.49 g/ml³. Whereas the true density was lying between 1.02 g/ml³ to 1.59 g/ml³, while porosity came as 50.27 to 69.17 per cent.

Abstract

This research paper seeks to examine the relationship between economic growth and human development in the Indian state of Karnataka for the post-reform period, i.e., from 1991 to 2019 by tracing two chains: one from Economic Growth (EG) to Human Development (HD) and other from Human Development (HD) to Economic Growth (EG). The study's overarching goal is to ascertain whether or not the per capita net state domestic product at constant prices, 2011-2012 (a proxy for EG) has any discernible effect on the citizens' human development index (a proxy for HD). For the analysis, we have used time-series data. Our study is based on secondary data. Econometric techniques like Vector Autoregressive Model (VAR) including Unit Root Test, Granger Causality Test and Impulse Response have been used to assess the relationship between EG and HD. The empirical findings demonstrated the existence of a significant two-way relationship between HD and EG in Karnataka.

Abstract

The state of Haryana has made great strides in bringing the Education for all programme to fruition. Free and mandatory education for all children in India between the ages of six and fourteen has been established as a fundamental right through the implementation of a number of significant initiatives and legislation. The education system in India has received a much-needed boost from programmes like Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (SSA) and Right to Education (RTE). The government of Haryana is committed to ensuring that all of its citizens have access to a highquality education and has implemented a number of programmes to that end, like the scheme for the welfare of school children belonging to SC families, the Cheerag scheme, Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao, etc. Though it has greatly increased enrolment rates in elementary education across the country and in Haryana in particular, issues remain and must be addressed. This paper's overarching concern is with Haryana's current strategies for making SDG 4's emphasis on quality education relevant to the state's specific context through their incorporation into the formulation of a new education policy. It investigates the trends in education attainment at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels in Haryana, as well as the main challenges facing the quality of education and accessibility difficulties within the education sector.
