Designing training programmes for entrepreneurship development/M.S. Nain and Rashmi Singh. Agriculture sector is at the crossroads economically, environmentally, socially and technologically. Shrinking land base and rampant unemployment are the marked features of our rural areas. There is need to commercialize and diversify Indian Agriculture to create agro-based employment opportunities in such a way that one can generate more income per unit of area. With liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation, the whole world has come to our local markets where farmers and their produce have to compete with multinationals in terms of quality and price. In this scenario entrepreneurship development can prove to be a gainful employment opportunity for our educated youth. Entrepreneurs are not born but can be developed through appropriate education skills development and guidance. The present book "Entrepreneurship Development in Agriculture" is aimed at providing the conceptual orientation of entrepreneurship and elaborating the three phases of entrepreneurship development viz. Entrepreneurial stimulation enterprise launching and enterprise sustenance. Besides these two more section agro enterprise options and designing trading for entrepreneurship development are providing the details of various technological options to take up as agro enterprise and various training modules for inculcating entrepreneurial spirit. The book is an outcome of document the experiences generated at Indian Agriculture Research Institute (IARI) which pioneered the efforts in this direction by establishing Entrepreneurship development Unit in 1995 in the Division of Agricultural Extension.

Various conventional breeding technologies used for selection and faster multiplication of superior cattle and buffalo germplasm have contributed significantly to increase in milk production, which were mainly due to the technologies developed in the areas of quantitative genetics and reproductive biology. These included methodologies for selection of females based upon their expected producing ability and young males based on the performance of progeny.Emerging developments in the areas of molecular marker systems in animals, genome maps, methods of detecting Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) linkages, Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) etc., are latest tools to be used in breeding programmes for enhancing the rate of genetic progress. These modern techniques could be of great help for those traits, for which the conventional technologies have limitations in their use. Therefore, integration of molecular markers with conventional breeding technologies involving pedigree and phenotypic information are probable future breeding tools for genetic improvement of livestock and poultry.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Recent developments in world literature have radically altered our perception of the nature of literature and its function in society. The present anthology explores the necessity/desirability of theory in our literary discourse and examines whether Indian scholars should blindly imitate the norms of Western literary theory/ theories and apply them to our Indian texts or they should develop, update and contextualize their own Indian theory in the view of the emerging trends in world literature. It acknowledges the fact that in the contemporary era literary criticism cannot survive without theoretical assumptions and ideological implications. Gradual erosion of boundaries between different disciplines has clearly shown a 'paradigm shift' in literary studies. New literary movements like dalit writing, women writing, tribal writing, nativistic writing, ecocentric writing and modern folk writing can hardly be explained by the norms of traditional Indian poetics. Hence Indian poetics should develop a theoretical system which must be assimilative, comprehensive and self consistent. The anthology contains fifteen research articles contributed mostly by senior distinguished scholars and academicians of the country. It is divided into three sections- first section enters into discourse on the demise/survival/ future prospect of literary theory, the second deals with the postcolonial and poststructuralist discourses of the West and the third section takes up different theoretical issues but examines them from Indian perspectives.…

Singh In semi arid and arid regions of the country, a vast land resource (39.54 m ha) is available which is underutilized, having good potential of expansion for quality production of several horticultural, medicinal, spices, ornamental and crops of economic importance. The horticulture can play vital role in diversification of these untapped natural resources. The development of arid horticulture is not very old; the published literature on many crops of economic importance and their multiplication is also scanty. Looking to prospects of such underutilized crop, its propagation methodology should be standardized for large scale plantation through availability of quality planting material. The work on production technology of underutilized arid horticultural crops in limited and scattered. Therefore, an effort was made to compile the work done so far in the field of multiplication of semi- arid and arid horticultural plants with special reference to Indian scenario in the form of a book to develop the knowledge base of all those involved in research and development of cold and hot arid lands. This book will be useful for the scientists, teachers, researchers, students, growers, policy makers and also for the personnel engaged in nursery management. The contributors of different chapters included in the book are well known personality in their field.…

Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO) concentration crossed 400 ppm in 2015 from 279 ppm of preindustrial period. Similarly compared to preindustrial era, the methane (CH) concentration increased from 722 ppb to 1800 ppb and nitrous oxide (N.O) concentration from270 ppb to 323 ppb in 2011. Increasing GHGs concentration in the atmosphere has created radiative imbalance resulting in more energy from the sun entering than exiting the top of the earth's atmosphere. All the above, individually and collectively, adversely influence the total agriculture productivity. Increased awareness during 1990s about adverse effect of deforestation and other land-use changes on CO, stock coupled with more emphasis on afforestation checked rise in atmospheric carbon-di-oxide in the recent years.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Forage based economical feeding strategies are required to reduce the cost of quality livestock product as the feed resources alone constitutes 60-70% of the milk production cost. Thus, any effort of enhancing fodder availability and economizing the feed cost results in increased margin of profits. There is tremendous pressure of livestock on available fodder resources, as land available for fodder production has been decreasing. At present, India faces a net deficit of 35% green fodder and 10% dry crop residues. To meet the current level of livestock production and its annual growth in population, the deficit in fodder resources needs to be met either by increasing productivity, utilizing untapped fodder resources, increasing land area (may not be possible due to human pressure for food crops) or through imports. Indeed, in the world of changing socio-economic and environmental scenario, there are diverse challenges and constraints for fodder security and sustainable livestock production to meet the requirements of ever increasing human beings. A considerable amount of work has been done on different aspects of forage production and grassland management, forage processing and utilization at different organizations of India and elsewhere. In this edited book, an attempt has been made to organise the available pertinent information or approaches of enhancing fodder production and efficient utilization by researchers from various organizations. Being introduced with the forage and livestock scenario in India, this book contains adequate information on optimizing forage production, alternate land use systems for forage production, advances in forage crop improvement and seed production and forage utilization and socioeconomic aspects including value addition and fodder marketing, green house gas emissions and climate change mitigation. It is expected that this book will be highly useful to researchers, teachers, students, policy makers and livestock farmers.…
