INNOVATION OF A FARMER TRANSFORMING SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC LIVING CONDITIONS: A CASE STUDY OF FARMER INVENTING TRACTOR

ABSTRACT

Necessity is the mother of invention. Although there is a relentless problem of lack of mechanical and scientific knowledge in countryside, rural people becomes grassroots innovators to solve their and community’s problems by coming up with solutions. Rural Entrepreneurship is often conceived as innovation, creativity, the establishment of new activities, or some kind of novelty. The rural entrepreneurial ventures play a vital role in providing employment opportunities and income for the needy people in rural sector. It helps in sinking the exodus of people from rural to urban areas in search of livelihood and provision of employment opportunities. As the population pressure grows in the land-scarce and developing countries like India, the growth in the agricultural production cannot absorb the ever increasing rural labour force in farming employment. This leaves the rural non-farm sector in the form of rural SMEs (small and medium entrepreneurial ventures) to absorb those released from agriculture but not absorbed in the urban industries. The rural sector is best poised for a rapid expansion in the small and medium industry arena.

In the present scenario, majority of the rural natives are unaware of technological skills, marketing etc. Shortage of funding and raw materials, lack of proper infrastructure and communication facilities etc. are main difficulties faced by rural entrepreneurs. The policy makers and executors have to find scope and space in the farm based entrepreneurial ventures to address to the daunting problem of unemployment in the country. The experiences of the people involved in such ventures needs to be cashed and used to make shift in the policy paradigm in the given context. The present paper is an attempt to analyze the case study of a rural entrepreneur of India and analysis is done about his life experiences leading to the advent of innovation, which have transformed the lives of rural agricultural community.

Nuclear Deterrence: More Nukes for Stable Peace?

Abstract

Nuclear deterrence is sometimes treated as a known quantity-a definite thing that keeps us safe and ensures our security. It has also often been used as a justification for possessing nuclear weapons. It was widely believed that nuclear weapons were an important factor in maintaining the “long peace” between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. India had sighted it’s not so friendly neighbour China as a reason for its nuclearisation. While Pakistan in turn sighted threat from India for going nuclear.

Is nuclear deterrence oblique encouragement for nuclear proliferation?

Moreover, deterrence in the twenty-first century may be far more difficult than it was in the past, and having the right mix of nuclear capabilities to deal with the new challenges will be crucial. New nuclear powers, characteristics of rivalry, are considered unlikely to maintain stable deterrence.

This paper attempts to address the question that has nuclear deterrence theory led to more nuclearisation. And whether it is actually relevant in maintaining stability especially in contemporary scenario?

STUDY OF STEGANOGRAPHY TECHNIQUES – A REVIEW

Mr. Abhishek Sharma1, Mr. Vijay Sharma2

Abstract: – Steganography is the technique of hiding confidential information within any media. Steganography is often confused with cryptography because the two are similar in the way that they both are used to protect confidential information. The difference between the two is in the appearance in the processed output; the output of steganography operation is not apparently visible but in cryptography the output is scrambled so that it can draw attention.Steganography is defined as the study of invisible communication. Steganography usually deals with the ways of hiding the existence of the communicated data in such a way that it remains confidential. It maintains secrecy between two communicating parties. In image steganography, secrecy is achieved by embedding data into cover image and generating a stego-image. There are different types of steganography techniques each have their strengths and weaknesses. In this paper, we review the different security and data hiding techniques that are used to implement a steganography such as LSB, ISB, MLSB etc.

Abstract

Underutilized green leafy vegetables (GLV) are found in numerous agricultural ecosystems and often survive mainly in marginal areas. Yet a large number of GLV that are now overlooked have the potential to play a much more important role in sustaining livelihoods and enhancing environmental health. India, being blessed with a variety of natural surroundings and varying climates and seasons, has a number of edible GLV some of which are locally grown and utilized. GLV are rich sources of micronutrients such as β-carotene, ascorbic acid, riboflavin and folic acid, iron,calcium and phosphorous. GLV are also recognized for their characteristic colour, flavor and therapeutic value. Some of the underutilized leafy vegetables are amaranth, drumstick, beet greens rich in micronutrients. Drumstick has a high nutrient density and is rich in many essential micronutrients and vitamins as well as antioxidants and bioavailable iron. It excelled among 120 species of Asian traditional vegetables tested for their content of micronutrients and phytochemicals, antioxidant activity and traditional knowledge of their medicinal uses. Moreover, it is easy to grow, has excellent processing properties, and good palatability.

This is the review of the book titled Administrative Reforms in Bangladesh (Second Edition). Mohammad Mohabbat Khan.

……………………………………….

The widely acclaimed and unanimously accepted “Administrative Reforms in Bangladesh” is the most resourceful and promising delivery of Prof. Dr. Mohammad Mohabbat Khan and I am fortunate enough to go through his master creation and I am very pleased to say that it enlightens and strengthens me in becoming a delighted reader and learner of this book. The contemporary issues concerned with the public administration, administrative reconstruction, and poor productive public bodies are the main liable reasons for low-standard governance in the Bangladesh. Some logically valid recommendations have been made in the book for the reforms of the public services in the governance that might significantly accelerate the development and economic growth of the Bangladesh. The time demands changes in the administrative function of the governance that are still being operated in the light of out-dated concept of very early ages’ bureaucratic theme. The public administration and public services’ bodies of Bangladesh represents the country that are significantly highest governing bodies from which all the decisive actions are taken for the rules, regulations and legislative functions of Bangladesh. These public services administrative bodies should be up to the mark that standardizes the image of the country with her pride to lead the country with economically solvent and sufficient with all necessary requirements to be blessed as a peaceful country and all these influential outcomes have been significantly scrutinized in the book of Mr. Khan. Mr. Khan, himself is a leading professor and professional of public administration and his diversified versatile knowledge, expertise and insights have blessed the book as a core guiding instructor for comprehending the required necessary reformative steps in the administrative governing bodies of the Bangladesh. Each and every citizens of the Bangladesh can enjoy the positive reformative actions of administrative governing bodies of Bangladesh and the sooner the actions are taken the better for the mass people of Bangladesh that can let them see the betterment and changes of their fortune gradually. For the sake of the democracy, for greater interest of the country, for sustaining the smiles of the mass of Bangladesh and for upholding the brighter image of Bangladesh as a peacefully developed country in the world; the administrative reforms should be taken without any further delay that are the colossal representation and recommendations that have been occupied in the greater extent of the book of Mr. Khan. Dr. Khan has stressed that bureaucratic public service system lead to corruption, mismanagement and low-productivity in the governance and he, in his book, discouraged the bureaucratic system of the public services that should be up-graded with the time oriented and public service oriented structure. All the previous governments of Bangladesh were hardly interested in reforms of the public services and administration of Bangladesh and very few of them have taken the policy to reform the public service bodies of Bangladesh. And all the governments of Bangladesh were unwilling to pay heed in the recommendations that were given by experts and for implementing the political agenda, very few so called steps were taken that couldn’t enable the public service governing bodies as the modernized, well-structured and developed organizations that can significantly serve and work for the development of the mass people of the Bangladesh. Dr. Khan has also explained that several recommendations that have been offered from the expert were ignored by the policy makers because of the lack of political free-will, sincerity and for grabbing pitfalls instead of understanding the greater interest of the people of the Bangladesh. The political free-will, political turmoil, and politically ignorant people are some good reasons why the recommendations are not implemented for keeping the greater interest of the country. A practice and exercise of transparency, accountability, liability, commitment, trust and development programs of the public service governing bodies can be ensured by the implementation of the recommendations that have been remarkably presented in the book of the Prof. Dr. Mohammad Mohabbat Khan. I, in line with the Dr. Khan, wish the achievements of the Bangladesh cannot be blurred for some bad examples rather the accomplishment of the Bangladesh can keep going on progressively with a participatory engagement and culture of the civil society, politically conscious persons and each and every citizens of the Bangladesh for the development, betterment and enrichment of our country. I wish very all the best for the book and I hope people will enjoy the readership of the book.

Abstract

This article attempts to relate Arun Joshi’s novels to the Indian sensibility and come to a fair understanding of its influence in shaping his moral vision. Every author is deep rooted in his own soil; and when he migrates to another culture, the primary and the secondary cultures start intermixing; giving rise to a hybrid sensibility which stands in native soil, but breathes in the foreign air. Arun Joshi’s protagonists are foreign in their outlook and bearing, but their response systems are essentially Indian. It is not surprising that they look at the problems foxing them at the existential level, with the Indian lens. This article attempts to visualize the psychological and spiritual legacy which refuse to be obliterated even in front of most pressing circumstances.

In contrast to Jason’s neurosis and Quentin’s psychosis is Dilsey’s sense of temporal order and the grounding that she derives from her religion. In the Quentin section we had seen that time was the mausoleum of all hope and desire and the brothers are all caught up in a past in which Caddy had not lost her innocence and virginity and betrayed the family name. Dilsey in contrast thinks not in terms of the past but a redemptive future in which Christ will come and redeem believers all from their fragmented existences and bring them back to his abode in Paradise- a future she looks forward to in contrast to all the ruin and fragments and bondage to the past that Jason and Quentin experience.
