Indian Forester, Vol 129, No 7 (2003), Pagination: 853-858Abstract
Over exploitation of non-wood forest products (NWFPs) is threatening forest ecosystems in India. Harvesting NWFPs from threatened and endangered species has led to search of new alternatives. Thus there is an urgent need to find abundantly available and new substitutes as well as to develop simple and suitable technologies for sustainable utilization of NWFPs to save environment. This paper describes some of the eco-friendly technologies/processes developed by Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun in recent years from abundantly available forest/agro biomass. The new technologies will go a long way in saving the fragile ecosystem of the country.- Development and Commercialization of Kunitz Trypsin Inhibitor-Free Indian Soybean (Glycine max L.) Genotypes

Vegetable-type soybean (VSB) differs from the conventional grain-type soybean in large seed size, sweet taste and pleasant aroma. VSB has been in daily cuisines in SouthEast Asian countries since ages and popularly known by nomenclature like edamame (Japan), mao dou (China) and poot kong (Korea). For consumption, the pods of VSB are picked when they attain approximately 80 per cent maturity but not turned yellow, which corresponds to the R6 stage of soybean plant development. Freshly harvested pods are boiled in water and directly popped into mouth or tender seeds shelled from boiled pods can be used in various food recipes similar to the chick pea and green pea. Traditional soy products of the South-East countries viz. soy milk, tofu, natto, miso processed from mature seeds, could not evoke much public response in other parts of world including India due to their off-flavour, time-consuming preparation and the exotic appeal. In such countries, VSB owing to its sweet taste, reduced off-flavour, easy cook- ability and more importantly, resemblance to other regular beans viz. chickpea, green pea and French bean offer an excellent alternative mode for harnessing health benefits of soybean. Efforts are underway to introduce the special vegetable-type genotypes from countries like Taiwan, China and India and popularize among masses.- Evaluation of Quality Characteristics during Developmental Stages for Green Pod Consumption among some of the Released Cultivars of Indian Soybean

Soybean has been endowed with epithet 'functional food of the century' as beyond traditional basic nutrition viz. high protein, PUFA rich oil, vitamins, minerals, it contains biological ingredients like isoflavones that prevent the risk of dreaded diseases like breast cancer, osteoporosis, cardiovascular ailments, kidney stones and help in beating the menopausal blues. Soybean has existed in India as a marginal food plant in some regions of Himalayas since ages but still it doesn’t appear as a common item in Indian cuisine. There are couple of constraints that hinder the promotion of soy- based foods. The prime deterrent among them is the off-flavour associated with various soy-based foods to which Indian populace is not accustomed to.- Comparative Activity of Trypsin Inhibitor among Released Soybean Varieties/Strains of India

Soybean packed with the cheapest source of dietary protein (40%), offers a great potential in combating nutritional problems arising because of under and malnutrition in Indian population. Soybased diet is also becoming popular due to nutraceutical benefits that suit lactose intolerants, hypercholestrolics, diabetics, anemics lactating mothers and postmenopausal women. Lately, soy-based diet has been reported to prevent the risk of hazardous diseases like breast cancers, cardio-vascular diseases, osteoporosis, kidney and gallstone formation. However, soybean does suffer from shortfall of poorer protein digestibility. This is because of the presence of protease inhibitors primarily trypsin inhibitor. This biological component in soybean seed affects digestibility of proteins attributed to its antitryptic activity especially when soybean is consumed raw or used as flour without preblanching.- Discrimination of Basmati and Non-Basmati Rice Types Using Polarimetric Target Decomposition of Temporal Sar Data

The present study distinguishes the growing areas of basmati and non-basmati rice types using polarimetric target decomposition technique on temporal Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. Multi-temporal quad-pol RADARSAT-2 data of part of the Indo-Gangetic plains were acquired to analyse the contribution of different scattering components (double bounce, singe bounce and volume scattering) at various crop growth stages of both rice types. A decision tree-based framework has been proposed to segregate both rice types and other major land use-land cover classes by capturing the temporal variations in different scattering components. Both rice types were separated in the study area with user's accuracy of 85.19% and 82.93% for non-basmati and basmati rice respectively.Keywords

In modern life, adjustment is necessary aspect when we talk about a relationship. Successful marital life gives satisfaction to each person. Every person wishes to make his or her marital life successful. The present study is an effort to find out the factors which may contribute in marital adjustment and life satisfaction in the context of high computer user and low computer user couples. The present study aimed at tracing how marital adjustment and life satisfaction is affected among high computer user and low computer user couples of Jaipur, India. To achieve this objective 100 married couples were randomly selected from Jaipur city of Rajasthan, India, 50 couples were high computer users and 50 couples were low computer users. The Marital Adjustment Questionnaire by Kumar and Rohtagi(999) and Life Satisfaction Scale by Alam and Srivastava (1971) were used to measure the level of marital satisfaction and life satisfaction respectively. The analysis of data reveals that there is a significant difference in the level of marital satisfaction and life satisfaction among high computer user and low computer user couples. These findings stress the need to minimize the use of computers to an extent of comfortable zones of marital satisfaction and life satisfaction.Keywords

Research on workplace spirituality has gained momentum from last two decades. It has been identified among the crucial factors which lead to organizational development in terms of productivity and efficiency at workplace. The aim of this study is to provide a systematic and comprehensive appraisal on various constructs affecting workplace spirituality domain. More than hundred research papers on workplace spirituality were downloaded from Google Scholor, Scopus, NIH, and other online journals, were reviewed. The comparative appraisal revealed that those organisations which adapted to workplace spirituality functioning obtained high productivity, low turnover rates, edge over competitors, etc as compared to others which lacked in spiritual development of employees. Moreover, the review also identified that workplace spirituality is instrumental in maintaining work-life balance to overcome workplace stress and leads to several positive outcomes both at personal and organisational levels.Keywords

The economic turbulence sweeping the world today has created several threats as well as opportunities for the education sector as well. In order to cater to the demands in changed scenario, planners for education in general and technical education in particular. have to reinvent and redesign their strategies so that the age old Indian tradition of 'excellence in education' does not get diluted. For this. the TQM approach has been gaining momentum recently as it is an effective. trusted and tested technique for the manufacturing and services sector. The attributes of quality in education are complex and intangible where as the stakeholders are large and varied. So this paper attempts to rethink on this issue and emphasize the significance of TQM for improving the quality of education so as to serve the nation better.Keywords

Biofuel development in India centres mainly on the cultivation and processing of Jatropha plant seeds which are very rich in oil (40%). The drivers for this are historic, functional, economic, environmental, moral and political. Jatropha oil has been used in India for several decades as biodiesel for the diesel fuel requirements of remote rural and forest communities; jatropha oil can be used directly after extraction (i.e. without refining) in diesel generators and engines. Jatropha has the potential to provide economic benefits at the local level since under suitable management it has the potential to grow in dry marginal non-agricultural lands, thereby allowing villagers and farmers to leverage non-farm land for income generation. As well, increased Jatropha oil production delivers economic benefits to India on the macroeconomic or national level as it reduces the nation’s fossil fuel import bill for diesel production (the main transportation fuel used in the country); minimizing the expenditure of India’s foreign-currency reserves for fuel allowing India to increase its growing foreign currency reserves (which can be better spent on capital expenditures for industrial inputs and production). And since Jatropha oil is carbon-neutral, large-scale production will improve the country’s carbon emissions profile. Finally, since no food producing farmland is required for producing this biofuel (unlike corn or sugar cane ethanol, or palm oil diesel).References

Drought is the greatest annoyance in countries like India where the economy is still depends on the agriculture. Hence tackling drought is foreseeable. The adoption of appropriate soil management regimes like conservational tillage, mulching, use of manure, compost, green manure, concentrated organic manure and sheep penning can show the way to an enhanced agricultural production in drought hit areas of our country. These management practices are not only cheap but also effective, environment friendly, good from soil health view point and sustainable in long period of time.- Green Revolution:Experiences, Challenges and Opportunities in India

A detailed retrospective of the Green Revolution, its achievement and limits in terms of agricultural productivity improvement, and its broader impact at social, environmental, and economic levels is provided. Lessons learned and the strategic insights are reviewed as the world is preparing a “redux” version of the Green Revolution with more integrative environmental and social impact combined with agricultural and economic development. Core policy directions for Green Revolution 2.0 that enhance the spread and sustainable adoption of productivity enhancing technologies are specified. The developing world witnessed an extraordinary period of food crop productivity growth over the past 50 y, despite increasing land scarcity and rising land values. Although populations had more than doubled, the production of cereal crops tripled during this period, with only a 30% increase in land area cultivated.References

Lantana camara is an aggressive alien flora in the country. Invasive alien species are non-native organisms that cause, or have the potential to cause, damage to the environment, economics or human health. Aliens are invariably introduced without their natural enemies that control and balance their spread in their native land and hence grow without any hindrance causing damage to the environment. Alien flora are often referred to as ‘biological pollutants’ due to their detrimental impacts on the man managed and natural ecosystems.References

Soil erosion is a world-wide challenge for sustainability of agriculture especiallyin the tropical region. The rates of soil erosion that exceed the generation of new top soilare a dynamic process which leads to decline in the soil productivity, low agricultural yield and income. The balance between soil-forming and depleting processes is of utmost importance for attaining long-term sustainability in any production system. Land degradation in the form of soil erosion is a major problem in the semiarid region of Lower Chambal Valley. In the present study Land sat satellite images for the years of 1977, 1990 and 2000 have been used to identify the change in degraded land in the region. Evidences suggest that the rate of encroachment of arable land is high and is equal to spreading rate of degraded land. The data obtained by field survey reveal that productivity of crop land is negatively correlated with share of degraded land to gross cropped area. The productivity of agriculture, measured through gross value of output per area, is comparatively high in villages having fewer shares of degraded land and vice-versa. Simple linear regression model explains high variation of productivity by high share of degraded land (above 50 % of gross cropped area).References

Tropical country like India global warming would adversely affect the human health. Moreover, the incidence of mosquito borne infectious diseases like malaria, Japanese encephalitis, filaria, dengue fever, chikungunya and West Nile fever would increase. Whereas, the scourges of sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS, hepatitis B, gonorrhoea and syphilis would also increase 7 fold. There would also be raise the incidence of non-infectious diseases like night blindness, rickets, anaemia, marasmus, beriberi, kwashiorkor and pellagra.References

There is no reliable study of worldwide damage due to weeds. However, it is widely known that losses caused by weeds have exceeded the losses from any category of agricultural pests such as insects, nematodes, diseases, rodents, etc. The potential crop yield loss without weed control was estimated by 43%, on a global scale. While has reported that of the total annual loss of agricultural produce from various pests, weeds account for 45%, insects 30%, diseases 20% and other pests 5%. Annual worldwide losses to weeds were estimated to comprise approximately 10-15% of attainable production among the principal food sources. Moreover, among insects collected, 50% were harmful either as pests of plants or parasites on useful insects and other animals. These matter collected at different research paper, showed that insects and weed are widely distributed on the earth and play a vital role in the environment.References
