The remotely sensed data has been obtained from the concern source has been used adopting NDVI technique to find out the changes in vegetation. The result of study shows the vegetation cover in the study area has been decreasing slowly.

The efficient selection of natural enemies has become increasingly important success of biological control programs. In India has about 600 known species of dragonfly among the various predators of mosquito larvae. The failure of traditional vector control operation through chemical insecticides renewed interest in biological control method. In present investigation dragonfly nymph has been proved to a strong bio- control agent mosquito larvae in laboratory condition. Dragonfly nymph and mosquito larvae both the breed in fresh water or fresh water habitat. Larvaecidal efficiency of dragonfly nymph as a aquatic predators is tested in laboratory level. Dragonflies nymph eat at least about 50 mosquito larvae per hour among the various predators of mosquito larvae dragonfly are more safe for human being. Because they control of diseases cause by mosquito and maintaining water quality and eat microorganism such as zooplankton and phytoplankton. These are sensitive the different chemical if there is changing water quality because pollutant entering the water . Hence dragonflies are more safe for human being and also their economical application. There if awareness is created in people to use of thin kind of biological control the population of mosquito and other microorganism may be decreases and control the various diseases. And also maintaining the water quality.

Besides being a daring soldier and a successful military conqueror, Shivaji treid to provide his kingdom with a good system of administration. Borrowing certain administrative practices from the Deccan sultanate, he evolved for the Marathas a system of governance in which his central administrationwas known as the ashtapradhan system. His kingdom consisted of territories known as the swarajya and the mughalai. Swarajya referred to the areas where his system of administration was implemented, while the mughalai territory fell outside the swarajya and was subject to Maratha and other external raids from time to time. To protect people living in the mughalai areas against any external invasions, a contribution was taken in the form of the chauth; and to safeguard them against Maratha attacks the sardeshmukhi was imposed. The levying of these taxes was very similar to the imposition of the jiziya, since all these taxes were punitive in nature and offered protection in return for revenue. In this context the present article deals with the study of administrative system during Shivaji Maharaj.

Life insurance has become one of the necessities of human life. It offers financial security to the policyholder and/or his/her dependents in the event of his premature death or accidental disability. As death of the bread earner creates severe financial problem before the dependents and as the permanent physical or mental disability also create even more severe financial problems for them adequate financial provision in the form of different life policies is essential. One life policy may not be suitable for all individuals therefore out of different life insurance policies an individual takes out a suitable combination of policies depending up on his financial needs. Number of dependents in the family is one of the important factors in buying decision about the number and types of life policies. The present research has made an attempt to assess the relationship between types of policy holdings and dependents. The research revealed that whole life and endowment policies are more favoured by the samples with zero dependents, with one dependent, with two dependents and with four dependents.

In the study region fair centres have distinct characteristics and they scattered in district in various manner. These fair centres influenced by physical as well as socio-economical factors and these factors determines distributional pattern of fair centres. Present research paper deals with Tahsilwise distributional scenario of fair centres.

The Union government should draft a comprehensive model legislation covering both trust and Societies in lieu of the existing laws of Societies, Trusts, Endowments and Charitable Institutions etc.In place of the present charity administration consisting of a Charity Commissioner Inspector General of Registrations as existing in the States, the proposed law should provide for a new governance structure in the form of a three member Charities Commission each State with the necessary support staff for incorporation, regulation and development of Charitable Organizations. the Chariman of the Commission should be a law officer drawn from the cadre of District Judges. Out of the other two members, one should be drawn from the voluntary sector and the other would be a officer of the State Government. In addition to the State should also have a Charities tribunals which would exercise appellate powers over the orders of the Charities commission.

The 21st Century could well be known as the age of learning. When Reliance came into the market and said, “the entire world is in our fist” it was declared to be the age if ICT (Information Communication Technology) and ICE (Information Communication Entertainment). The transition from 20th to 21 Century education is still underway. Incorporating technology into standards, curricula instruction, and assessment – and ensuring alignment between each of these areas – is a complex endeavor.

The aim of the study was to compare the hand grip and shoulder girdle strength among cricket, baseball and softball players. A sample of thirty six (N = 36) male inter-college level players (mean ± SD: age 20.53 ± 0.97 years, height 181.33 ± 3.43 cm, weight 74.03 ± 3.95 kg, BMI 22.52 ± 1.40), which includes twelve each cricket, baseball and softball players, who participated in inter-college competitions of Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, India, was selected. All the participants were informed about aim and methodology of the study and they volunteered to participate in this study. All the participants were assessed for height, weight, hand grip strength and shoulder girdle strength. The height of the subjects was measured with anthropometric rod to the nearest 0.5 cm. The weight of subjects was measured by using portable weighing machine to the nearest 0.5 kg. A calibrated hand grip dynamometer with adjustable grip was used to measure right & left hand grip strength in kg whereas shoulder girdle strength was measured by medicine ball throw. One way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was applied to find out the significance of differences with regard to hand grip strength and shoulder girdle strength among inter-college level cricket, baseball and softball players. Scheffe's post-hoc test (SPHT) was applied to see the direction and significance of differences where 'F' value found statistically significant. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Significant differences were found between inter- college level cricket, baseball and softball players with regard to hand grip strength (p? 0.05) and shoulder girdle strength (p? 0.05) respectively. While comparing the means, it revealed that baseball players had better right & left hand grip strength as well as shoulder girdle strength than their counterparts; cricket and softball players.

One among the goals of millennium development goals is poverty reduction. Poverty is not so easy to wipe from the society; if the citizens who are in that state should come up to wipe off their own state of poverty. Poverty needs a therapeutic mission with a strategic vision. Urbanization swelling is the mishap of twentieth century, re-ruralization and its development alone can foster the nation despite of its geographical location. As a step of poverty reduction the microfinance failed at the deepest villages of the nation. Really speaking we are to evaluate objectively these related processes in micro finance. At the present moment the micro finance become an umbrella for shade to the micro financiers but not to the last needy citizen. Micro finance is not successful to the significant level. Self-help group are becoming the victims of the process of microfinance. The rural women in particular are not well trained in their occupation which they say that they do. An objective observation made it clear that micro finance is not for the women in rural areas. Microfinance is a slit which drains off the economy of the rural women folks. Just before 10 to 15 years back no women was in debt but now they do suffer out of a debt of Rs.25,000/- to Rs.50,000/- on an average. Above all hidden erosion in the name of processing charges they are evacuated economically.
