Chickpea has played a major role in realization of ‘Pulse Revolution’ in India making the country near self-sufficient in Pulses. Chickpeas are high in protein. Protein is a necessary component of life. Pulses have two to three times the protein content of cereals. It is a significant source of protein in the Indian diet. However, potentiality of the protein has not been fully exploited as a source of protein in human diets. Forty two genotypes inclusive of checks were taken for the study.

In India, AI adoption in OMFS is growing due to advancements in machine learning, imaging technologies, and robotic-assisted surgery. This review explores the current status of AI in OMFS within India, highlighting key applications, challenges, and future prospects.

Birth position can be influenced by many different factors including setting, mother's choice, caregiver preference, or medical intervention. The position assumed by women during birth is influenced by several complex factors. Historically, mothers used physiologically appropriate labor positions such as squatting, sitting up right, and even standing in the birthing process. Currently in obstetric practice, these alternative positions infrequently are used during labor while the supine position has come to be accepted as ‘best practice’ in hospital-based deliveries.

Fungal ability to produce pigments and organic acids has crucial role in discoloration and degradation of different types of stone in cultural property. Additionally, stone objects may support novel communities of microorganisms that are active in bio-deterioration process. This investigation focuses on mycological analysis of microbial bio-film from Queen’s Mosque at Sarangpur, Ahmedabad of Gujarat State made of sandstone, and which was heavily colonized by fungi. The 12 fungal flora including filamentous micro fungi with specific distribution on sandstone substrate were isolated.
