  1. Social Determinants of Health Among Unorganized Workers in India

    Social Determinants of Health Among Unorganized Workers in India De, Payel; Ghosh, Prasanta Kumar : Unorganized workers in India constitute the largest working population. Devoid of the legal and social securities in the workplace the lives and livelihoods are vulnerable. Health is a critical parameter in the contemporary period from the population or individual levels. The present review intended to render the lives and livelihoods condition of Indian unorganized workers and to explore the most appropriate ways to increase their quality of life. The unorganized workers sustain their lives under the negative social infrastructures. The COVID-19 pandemic further complicated the scenario and put them under stiff challenges. Health is multifactorial and the clinical aspects are inevitable. Emphasizing social determinants of health among unorganized workers in India will not only decrease the burden from the existing health system and be cost-effective but also in long run will help in the reduction of health inequalities in the population for inclusive growth
  2. Use of Assistive Technologies for Inclusive Education in Visva-Bharati Library Network

    Use of Assistive Technologies for Inclusive Education in Visva-Bharati Library Network Sharma, Ajay Kumar Developing countries are facing various problems in the process of implementing inclusive education. Assistive technology is any device, software, or equipment that helps people work around their challenges. Assistive technologies (AT) can help to achieve inclusive education for people having disabilities in academic institutions (Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, 2020). This paper will provide brief ideas about the different types of Assistive technologies (AT) assisting persons to having different kinds of impairments for their Inclusive Education. This is a case study of the Visva-Bharati Library Network to know how Assistive technologies (AT) are being effectively used for inclusive education in Visva-Bharati. The present paper is an extension of literature, initially submitted as a project in Two Week Online National Faculty Development Program / Refresher Course jointly organized by Maitreyi College, University of Delhi, and Guru Angad Dev Teaching Learning Centre, SGTB Khalsa College, the University of Delhi under the Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya National Mission on Teachers and Teaching (PMMMNMTT) of Ministry of Education during 20th March to 3rd April 2021.
  3. Effect of Weed Management Practices on Nutrient Uptake by Direct Seeded Upland Rice under Tripura Condition

    Effect of Weed Management Practices on Nutrient Uptake by Direct Seeded Upland Rice under Tripura Condition Chakraborti, M.; Duary, B.; Datta, M. Field experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2013 and 2014 to study the effect of weed management practices on nutrient uptake by direct seeded upland rice. The experiment consisted of twelve treatments laid out in randomized complete block design with three replication. The common weed flora found in the experimental field were Amaranthus viridis, Oldenlendia corymbosa, Spilanthes acmella, Ludwigia parviflora, Cleome rutidosperma, Malvestrum coromondalianeum among the broad leaf weed, Digitaria sanguinalis among grasses and Cyperus iria among sedges. The highest uptake of NPK was recorded by the treatment hand weeding thrice at 15, 30 and 45 DAS, while weedy check registered the lowest uptake values for all the major nutrients. Among the other treatments, pendimethalin at 1.0 kg ha-1 + one hand weeding at 30 DAS and pendimethalin at 1.0 kg ha-1 at 2 DAS + bispyribac sodium at 25 g ha-1 at 20 DAS were found more efficient with respect to nutrient uptake.
  4. Effect of weed management practices on yield and yield attributes of wet direct seeded rice under lowland ecosystem of Assam

    Effect of weed management practices on yield and yield attributes of wet direct seeded rice under lowland ecosystem of Assam Satapathy1, BS; Duary, B; Saha, S; Pun, KB Field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Farm of the Regional Rainfed Lowland Rice Research Institute, Gerua, Assam during early ahu (summer) season of 2015 and 2016 to study the influence of different weed management practices on yield and yield attributes of wet direct seeded rice sown through drum seeder. The dominant weed flora in the experimental field consisted of sedges Cyperus difformis L., Scirpus incurvatus Roxb., grasses Leptochloa chinensis L., Echinochloa glabrescens, Echinochloa colona L. and broad-leaved weed Ludwigia adscendes L. The composition of grasses, sedges and broad-leaved weeds in weedy check plot at 60 DAS was 15.1, 71.5 and 13.4%, respectively. There was 37.3% reduction in the grain yield of rice due to competition with weeds in the weedy plots. All the weed control treatments significantly reduced weed population, dry matter and increased grain yield of rice compared to weedy check. Hand weeding twice recorded grain yield of 5.64 t ha-1 resulting in 54.5% increase over weedy check. Mechanical weeding followed by one hand weeding recorded reduction in grain yield of 9.2% over hand weeding twice. Application of flucetosulfuron at 25 g ha-1 (5.42 t ha-1), bispyribac sodium at 30 g ha-1 (5.40 t ha-1), azimsulfuron at 35 g ha-1(5.38 t ha-1) and bensulfuron methyl+pretilachlor at 60+600 g ha-1 recorded grain yield on par with the hand weeding twice. Tank mix application of azimsulfuron+bispyribac sodium recorded 2.2% and 1.9% only, increase in grain yield over its single application.
