Muslims are religious minority in India. Their population is about 201319 and the rate of population growth is about stable over last 10 years. Hazaribag district of Jharkhand state of India have a rural population of approximately 73 % and out of which 13.7% is of Muslim Community. As a matter of fact they have failed to match pace of development with majority community. Although various governmental schemes are available so that they can develop socioeconomically at par to other people, but the result so far found is not satisfactory.

The study was conducted to assess the impact of chemical immobilization and anaesthesia on certain haematological and biochemical parameters in Asiatic lions intended for diagnostic and surgical procedure. The impact of anaesthetic and ancillary drugs was studied in 8 Asiatic and hybrid lions (Panthera leo persica) in 12 trials.

The purpose of the study was to find out the impact of simplified kundalini yoga practices among the mental health of the teachers.

The fast growing demand for fresh water-coupled with the need to protect the environment has made many areas of India and the rest of the World vulnerable to water shortages for various uses of the economy. As they interact with Electricity Industry, water availability is critical to power generation. Without access to adequate amounts of water for steam generation and cooling, power plants that rely on heat energy to generate electricity cannot operate. Seasonal anomalies in water systems and electricity production are inextricably linked.

Safety critical systems are the systems which defines the safety and monitors the system performance based on some safety criterions. A system health management (SHM) system monitors the safety critical system while it is in operation, and thus is able to detect faults, as soon as they occur. In this paper we propose an approach to determine the system health using artificial neural network. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is used as a case study to demonstrate the SHM approach using ANN.

It has been found that the conventional software engineering models such as for example Waterfall model, Prototyping, Incremental, Spiral, Rational Unified process (RUP) and Extreme programming (XP) cannot be used directly or not applicable for the development of web based systems (Kumar and Sangwan 2011). This is because Web applications have unique characteristics that make Web development different and more difficult than traditional software development. In this paper, the reasons of why software development methodologies failed in developing web based systems will be shown.

Agriculture sector plays a pivotal role in the economic development of the country. In spite of this, rural youth faced challenges regarding livelihood. As a result, they often prefer to migrate to urban areas to take up low paying jobs. The present study was focused on the determinants of attitude of rural youth towards agriculture as a means of livelihood. The study was conducted in four villages of Uttarakhand. Data was collected from 115 rural youth through interview schedule.

Farming community is at a crucial state of transformation both in farming activities as well as in their social life. Farm power and material possession show a clear indication of such change.

Bullock cart is totally extinct instead they are using Tricycle Van and Tractor drawn Trolley as means of conveyance of farm articles. Possession of Mobile Telephone, Bicycle, Television are most common.

The allelopathic effect of medicinal leaf extracts of Ocimum sanctum L., Calotropis procera(Ait.) Ait.f and Astragalus tribuloides Delile on the radical length of mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) in Vitro conditions. The results indicated that different extracts such as alcoholic, aqueous acidic and alkaline extract of Ocimum sanctum L., Calotropis procera(Ait.) Ait.f and Astragalus tribuloides Delile showed different radical length of mungbean in Vitro conditions. Alcoholic extract of Ocimum sanctum L. showed highest radical effect in comparison of other extracts.
