Livestock production in general and cattle and buffalo in particular is highly labour intensive; more than 85 percent of the work, related to livestock production including milching, feeding, maintenance of cattle, irrespective of states, are done by women.

investigate the ability of duckweed (Lemna minor) to remove nitrate pollution from water and thus act as an organic and inexpensive way of combating eutrophication in water sources. Secondly, the relationship between nitrate concentration and rate of removal of nitrates by duckweed shall also be investigated. The duckweed is expected to absorb the nitrates as it grows and therefore lower the levels of nitrates in the water. In addition to this, the higher the concentration of nitrates, the faster the
revolution has been accompanied by over exploitation of land and water resources and use of fertilizers and pesticides have increased many folds. Shifting cultivation has also been an important cause of land degradation. Leaching from extensive use of pesticides and fertilizers is an important source of contamination of water bodies. Intensive agriculture and irrigation contribute to land degradation particularly salination, alkalization and water logging. It is evident that most of the land in the country

There were restriction practices in 85% of girls during menstruation.10 A cross sectional study was conducted on knowledge and practice regarding menstruation hygiene among
Mean global sea-level has already begun rising; over the 20th century mean sea-level rose 0.17 metres (0.12 metres – 0.22 metres). Significantly the rate of this rise was seen to accelerate towards the end of the century. What is modelled in this study is observed sea-level, which is a function of mean sea level, tidal influences and meteorological forcing of the mean sea-level. All three components of observed sea-level are subject to change. The three chief factors contributing to changes in
