Examples of the ‘Green Revolution’ methods are the continual increase of farming land, double-cropping in the existing farmland and using genetically modified seeds. Cultivation for land has been increasing since 1947, but was still insufficient to meet with rising demands. The expanding of land had to continue although the other methods are still required. Hence, the Green Revolution proceeded with this expansion of farming areas. Double cropping was a primary feature of the Green Revolution. Instead of
Sweet potato or Ipomoea batatas originated from the Northwest of South America and is distributed world-wide due of its high yield potential and ubiquitous adaptability. It belongs to the family Convolvulaceae and can be further divided into varieties or cultivars. Recently Benjamin (2007) reported that one of the most important economic crops in the world is sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.). After rice, it was widely grown and ranks fifth as a food crop in developing countries along with wheat
industrial revolution began in the textile industry and during the course of history people have changed the manufacturing process dramatically. Instead of items being produced by hand, the owners of the facilities created ways to have machines produce the items("thomasnet." ). This change in production. Before the change of manufacturing, children use to work in factories, instead of being in schools studying, that’s called child labour. The maxim gun was a huge change during Industrial revolution, and

important feedback mechanisms to the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide. A minor but very important component of the atmosphere , carbon dioxide is released through natural processes such as respiration and volcano eruptions and through human activities such as deforestation, land use changes, and burning of fossil fuels. Humans have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration since the industrial revolution began. This is the most important long-lived forcing of climate change. Methane. A hydrocarbon
classmates who took other forms of transport. People who commute by bike exemplify the very essence of the evolution that cycling has gone through. Using cycling for the purpose of commuting takes the original intention of the bicycle and adds a new age component of exercise. Though exercise has been subconsciously implemented in the use of a bicycle since it’s invention, it is the proactivity in committing to a healthy lifestyle that the cyclist takes which sets apart new age commuting from old age
1. INTRODUCTION Marketing of agricultural crops is the most crucial aspect of commercial farming. Farmers’ markets are the places where farmers congregate to sell all types of farm products. These markets play a major role in the distribution of farm produce and exist in a variety of forms like vegetable markets, fruit markets, grain markets etc. Out of these,a vegetable market or ‘sabzi mandi’ can be defined as a place where several producers gather on a regular basis to sell vegetables and fruits
addition of certain other materials, mainly sulphur. A hydrocarbon itself is a mixture of carbon and hydrogen. Petroleum in its natural form is usually named crude oil. The natural color of crude oil when first collected form the nature is clear, green or black and may be either thin like gasoline or thick like tar. Waste can be related to human concept in the nature,

to gather the basic needs of human and their society by providing food, clothing, shelters, medicine and recreation. Agricultural development is multidirectional having galloping quickly and rapid extend with respect to time and space. After green revolution, farmers started using increase cultural practices and agricultural inputs in severe cropping systems with laborers intensive programmes to enhance the manufacturing potential per unit land, time and input. Agriculture is mainly depends
