Vegetarianism vs World Hunger

In this modernized world, agriculture practice is becoming the centre of attraction for keeping ecology balanced and hence 40 billion hac. land area is dedicated to agriculture and out of which 70% land is used to rear animals. Instead of this if every individual adapts vegetarian then also the land mass required 0.6-1.2 billion hac. though the population increases by 30%. Unfortunately there are many road blocks for ending world hunger. Some major problems are food wastage at any modern place due to less availability, increase in cost of produce etc. and these problems play a very important role to stop world hunger. Vegetarianism is itself a very big problem for the people because of the way they see the world. Simply, more population eat meat, the fewer people can be fed. For eg. over 10 pounds of plant protein are used to produce one pound of beef protein. If these grains were fed to humans instead of animals, more food would be available for the millions of people in chronic hu

Study of Micro-Evidence for Agricultural Labour Market functioning in Chomo Tehsil of Jaipur

One of the main cause behind the poor socio economic culture in a n a country is the unequal distribution of land holding. For the developing country the proper and max open and maximum utilization of land is essential one and to f fulfil it the lease of land is encouraged. This promotes the labour market in Agriculture sector. A recent study intended to investigate the performance of Jaipur district of Rajasthan. Randomly 3 villages of Chomu Tehsil of Jaipur district was selected for study. The data of the 2010-11 span was used for the study. After deep study it was found that the frequency of labour credit interlocking was much more prominent than labour- land interlocking and labour had borrowed money from employers and paid a high rate of interest. But the perday income of labour was higher than average labour rate (Rs 175-190). Their family size, socio-economic status was also affected by this system. Based on the probability, 60 persons are randomly selected and data were collec

Voices from the periphery: Subalternity of Lodhas

Lodhas have lived a life of miserable poverty throughout a longer period. Colonial Government had been unresponsive towards their development. The stigma of ‘Criminality’ had detached them from the organised society. Post-colonial India tried to free them from the mark through withdrawal of the Criminal Tribal Act, implemented in 1952. They are presently treated as a Primitive Tribal Group (PTG) and after 2006, it’s Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG). They not only reside in the jungle areas now, but also inhabits in the surrounding deforested areas also and work there as farm labourers. Their major source of livelihood is comprised of various activities like collection of minor forest products (MFPs) for preparing leafy-plates (Donas), leaves for making country-cigars (Bidis), collection of snakes, lizards and other animals for selling them, collection of leaves and other forest food products for home consumption as well as selling the surplus, collection of Tasar cocoons fo

MULTILAYER FARMING

In India, over 70 % of rural household depends on agriculture sector, it contributes about 17 % to the total GDP of our country. But, in current situation, the rate of increasing farmer’s suicides in day by day is black spots on government of India. Due to lack of agriculture technologies, lack of knowledge to how evaluate the agriculture practices, marginal scattered land, water scarcity and some other reasons farmers are getting less production and unsatisfied income. To overcome these problem and get more production per unit area in very lower farming cost, here a new term is introducing as Multilayer farming. Introduction : Multilayer farming is modern integrated farming system in which four to five different crops are cultivated in same crop-field in a specific time. In this technique, farmers come up with multilayer seed sowing in which different vegetable and fruit crops are being sown in deep, middle, top, top most layers of soil, according to their respective root zone, s

Artificial Intelligence boon or bane?

It’s a pleasure to be surrounded by intelligent things that make our life easy, wealthy, comfortable, happy and most importantly healthy. There are many species on earth and humans are one of them. The unparalleled human potential distinguishes humans from others. We have higher level of consciousness than others, emotions to express, ability to create and ability to deal with the surprises like tsunami sent by the mighty nature.

The present scenario of agriculture in India

So far, through the records it has been seen that India was the ninth largest exporter of agricultural products in 2017.

Gross Value Added by agriculture, forestry and fishing is estimated at Rs 17.67 trillion (US$ 274.23 billion) in FY18. Indian food industry is poised for huge growth, increasing its contribution to world food trade every year due to its immense potential for value addition, particularly within the food processing industry.

A MAN AMONG MEN

Gandhiji is one of those men who, living an austerely simple life themselves and devoted to all the highest principles of love to their fellow beings and to truth and justice, touch the eyes of the weaker brethren as with magic and give them a new vision. He is a man who may be well described as a man among men, a hero among heroes, a patriot among patriots, and we may say that in him Indian humanity at the present time has reached its high water mark. He has in him the marvellous spiritual power to turn ordinary men around him into heroes and martyrs. He says that, if you wish the good of those you come in contact with, the only way to achieve the end is to be good yourself. Self-improvement and self-culture are his ideals. He always acts upon the proverb "Example is better than percept," and that's how all his theories and practice are blended so harmoniously one with another in his daily life. No earthly temptations are too strong for him. And none of them can ma

NIOS: A Schooling System with a difference

One of the old sanskrit scriptures described how and from where do we learn. It states: "A Quarter of our learning comes from our Teachers, Own intellect and talent provides a Quarter. A Quarter from the peers and friends and Remaining comes only with Time." This age old wisdom and the contribution of research on human learning in this century indicates that important role of learning, rather than Teaching, on acquisition of Knowledge. Bhagwan Sri Ramakrishna said, "as long as I live, so long do I learn". Each and every time we take a step we learn, knowingly or unknowingly. For example, when we go to a vegetable vendor to buy potatoes, we observe, we select, we negotiate, we learn about various Qualities of potatoes, we learn about weighing, we learn accounting and we also to learn socialise. So, that is the amount of learning which takes place with a simple reality like buying vegetables. You can very well imagine the amount of
