The present study was conducted to prepare a food product in form of chikkis with rice flakes flour and figs. The chikkis weight was 100gms after the whole processing was carried out.The chikki is high in IRON, CALCIUM and PHOSPHORUS required by human body for supporting metabolism and healthy bones. This chikki could be helpful in treating/managing the Iron deficiency Anemia & Bone disorders such as Osteoporosis, Rickets, Hypocalcaemia, Arthritis etc. This can be helpful for poor people as well whose nutritional needs are not completed with food daily.

China and India are the most dynamic economies as well as two demographic enormous countries in the world. While we study the dependency ratios since the year of commencing economic reforms of 1990s,it has been noticed that decline in total dependency ratio in India is faster than China (i. e., 4 percent), increase in child dependency ratio is meagre higher (i.e.

Now a day’s population growth, urbanization, economic prosperity etc. lead to a sustainable increase in MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE Quantities (Dalal, 2005). A higher polluted country like India generates a high amount of municipal solid waste not only in quantity but the composition also diverse inside the country (Dalal, 2006). This study investigates the green cleaning of the municipal solid waste generated in municipal areas of Ujjain district present in Madhya Pradesh, India.

In the present study we propose new modified ratio estimators for estimating the population variance by using auxiliary information of non conventional location measures, non conventional measures of dispersion and coefficient of kurtosis. The properties associated with the proposed estimators are assessed by mean square error and compare with the existing estimators. By this comparison we conclude that our proposed estimators are more efficient than existing estimators. Numerical study is also provided to support the theoretical results.

The present paper attempts to discover whether households- whose children under the age of five suffered from acute under-nutrition related ailments in India- are making catastrophic health payment with spatial and socioeconomic gradient, are vulnerable to poverty, and the percentage of vulnerable households to help the policy makers to target the needy segment through social protection. For this purpose, data collected by the National Sample Survey Organization (60th round) is used.

Aldose reductase is an NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase that catalyzes the reduction of glucose to sorbitol, the first step in Aldose polyol pathway and this enzyme has been implicated in the development of late diabetic complications . As a consequence, inhibition of this enzyme has gained therapeutic significance and has been the drug target. Conjugated enone moiety present in natural product curcumin shows excellent inhibitory activity for aldose reductase and along these lines we have synthesised a series of conjucated enones and tested their activity.

Cirrhosis is an abnormal liver condition in which there is irreversible scarring of the liver. In cirrhosis the liver tissue is replaced by a scar tissue and fibrosis. The main cause of liver cirrhosis is excessive alcohol consumption, viral hepatitis B and hepatitis C, and non alcoholic fatty liver disease, biliary cirrhosis. Ascites is the most common complication of cirrhosis. Symptoms of liver cirrhosis includes jaundice, redness of the palms of the hands, spider angiomas etc. About 3% of the world’s population is affected due to cirrhosis.

Mahasweta Devi is one of those leading writers who have an unflinching commitment for the underdog. The major part of her creative writing is characterized by an unwavering dedication and ardour for the underdog. Her stories give voice to tribal – Santhals, Lodhas, Shabars and Mundas and the junction of folk and the modern, the mainstream and the margin, colonialism and post-colonialism. Her stories are deeply rooted in her own experiences with the people about whom she writes.

People of Jammu and Kashmir have always positioned themselves spatially in time and emerged as reactionaries to oppressive and alien regimes. Both in present conflict with Indian state and against Hindu Dogra Maharajas the wave of movement has shown continuous ebbs and crests. The people’s political movements of resistance, struggle and change have shaped up the consequential and momentous dogmatic scenarios thereby.

New N-(4-hydroxy phenyl) 3-nitro phthalimide (II) was synthesized from its amic acid (I) using soduim acetate – actic anhydride system as dehydrating agent, which was trarsfered to new ester(III) by the reaction with chloro ethyl acetate, (III) was used to prepare the new hydrazide derivative (IV), this hydrazide was allowed to react with different aldehydes to give their new Schiff-Base derivatives(the hydrazone) (V-IX). All the new compounds were characterized by their m.p., FTIR, C,H,N analysis and 1HNMR for some of them.
