Cassia fistula Linn. is a rarely used herb in Ayurvedic medicine. This review supports all updated information on its phytochemical and pharmacological activities, traditional uses and scientific approach. The plant parts contain important constituents and have been widely used for the treatment of a large number of human ailments. The chemical entities of this plant has been used as an antitussive activity, antifungal activity, wound healing, potential antifertility effect anti inflammatory, modulation of humoral immunity, hepato protective, anti hyperlipidemic, antidiabetic, blood pressure regulating activity, antiulceogenic, antioxidant activity, anticonvulsant activity, analgesic and purgative, antibacterial, anthelmintic and antiviral activity etc. Scientifically proved activities are related with traditional concept. Scientific evidence exists with respect to their major and minor constituents. Cassia fistula Linn. is one of the most important controversial andeffective natural origin that has a tremendous future for research. The novelty and applicability of Cassia fistula Linn. are hidden. Such things should be overcome through modern scientific concept.Keywords

One of the NBA graduate attributes addresses self- learning ability of students. Though courses like seminar,mini projects and project expose the students to independent learning to a certain extent, a separate one credit, non-instructional course was perceived at final year of Automobile Engineering curriculum. Two different approaches; one using modular course approach and the other, MOOCs based approach were used for deployment of the course. The article presents design, deployment as well course outcomes attainment details of the approaches. It draws conclusion based on the comparison between these two models and highlights effective use of MOOCs for self-learning as well as choice based credit system.Keywords

Pune finds a significant place in the national as well as international scenario attributing to the educational institutes, industries and history. Pune Municipal Corporation has incorporated the Swach model, decentralized segregation and no open dumping as part of waste management. As per the recent reports approximately 17,000 tons of waste generated only 950 tons is segregated. The major challenges faced by the corporation are lack of the formal Scrap dealers, non-segregation at source and participation of the stakeholders and availability of landfills in managing the waste. Managing wet waste is comparatively easy as compared to the solid waste due to the presence of EOL electronic products( e-waste) along with plastics, glass, metals etc.
Pune houses a many SME’s catering to different requirements and these SME’s use a variety of diverse electronics equipment’s like computers, printers, fax machines, electronic watches, inverters, TV, mobiles and many more. Undoubtedly these SME’s get benefited by the use of ICT and related electronic products which ease many business processes and operations. The lack of knowledge about handling the EOL electronic products and legislation the products are found in second hand market and finally add to the solid waste which find their way to the dumping ground. The difficulty of treating these EOL products increases due to their toxic and complex nature pose a serious threat to human health and environment Landfilling the solid waste with e-waste is a serious issue not only locally but also at global level which needs attention and involvement of all stakeholders in the cradle to grave cycle of e- products.
E-Waste (Management & Handling) Rules 2011 enforced by Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), Government of India focus on the EPR(Extended Producers Responsibility) clause which puts the onus of handling the obsolete e-products on the bulk consumers and the producers for with clear role definitions . It is mandatory for all the business organizations to give details of e-waste inventory. It is followed by big business organizations but many small and medium businesses go untraced here. The authors in the present paper attempt to understand the current scenario of e-waste with perspective to SME’s as bulk consumers. The primary data collected is from more than 40 small and medium businesses show that e-waste awareness is relatively good, but lack of understanding of EPR ,effects of improper disposal, lack of infrastructure lead these items to either second hand markets , or scrap dealers and finally land up in landfills. The involvement of the small and medium houses is the need of the hour in understanding their roles handling e-waste in an environmental friendly by means implementation of sustainable model for E-waste management.
