The present investigation aim to determine the effect of Bioinoculant on morphological growth parameters of different varieties of green gram in kharif 2017. The field experiment was consisting of twelve treatments and three replication with randomized block design at Barwani (Madhya Pradesh) in black cotton soil. Biofertilizers such as Rhizobium leguminosorum and PSB were applied to seed before sowing of seeds and RDF (NPK) applied in the soil at the time sowing below the seed. The morphological growth parameters like plant height, number of leaves per plant, number of branches per plant was recorded after 20, 40 and 60 DAS respectively. Significantly highest plant height (cm), number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant was recorded in treatment T12 (100% RDF + R. leguminosorum + PSB) and lowest in control in both the varieties (Khargone - 5 and JM - 721) in all observation schedule (20, 40 and 60 DAS).

 Abstract

Arundhati Roy�s writings are like an infinite voice in desert place because of her valiant stand in the socio-political scenario. What is the uniqueness of her writing? She targets the root of the problem and exposes before the readers with her unique style of narration. Her voice always stands for the silenced class in society. Children are the most traumatized characters in her novel, The God of Small of Things. They are perpetually tormented in their life in different stages of their life. Their behaviour with others is reflected in different ways on different occasions. Arundhati Roy in her novel portrayed the characters of children with a deep psycho-analytic way. Estha and Rahel, the twins suffer eternally in their life due to the mental torment of the elders in the family as well as in society. Even though they have grown up, they carry the trauma in which they had undergone in their childhood days.

 Abstract

Cucurbitaceae family is also known as squash family. In India, it is represented by 84 species out of a total of 750 species of the world. Plants of this family are mostly used as vegetables, a few yield delicious summer fruits and a few are medicinal. In fact members of Cucurbitaceae form a source of a variety of compounds like alkaloids, flovonoids, terpenoids, glycosides tannins and saponins. In view of the medicinal importance of this family, the present investigation was undertaken. Cucurbita maxima is a giant pumpkin and locally called as �kaddu�. The present paper describes the findings of the antibacterial activity of this plant. The present study was conducted in the year 2016-17. The plant material was collected locally from Barwani and identified by the experts. The plants material was air-dried in shade for 60 days and powdered in a wearing blender using a mixer. The powder was stored at 40C for further analysis. The powdered material was extracted with aqueous and ethanol solvents using Soxhlet apparatus. Extraction with each solvent was carried out for 10 h. Both the solvent extracts were dissolved in 2 ml of ethanol and distilled water separately and solubility was tested. Sterile paper discs (Whatman No. 1) were dipped in the solvent extracts and aseptically placed on seeded plates. All the plates were incubated at 370C FOR 24 h. The organisms used were Bacillus subtilis (MTCC-441), Escherichia coli (MTCC-1687), Pseudomonas areogenosa (MTCC-1934), and Staphylococcus aureus (18 mm against 16 mm in aqueous extract) while all the rest three organisms selected for this study showed more inhibition zone in aqueous extract i.e. E. coli with 15 mm, Bacillus subtilis with 20 mm, and Pseudomonas areogenosa with 14 mm respectively. Thus from the present study it is inferred that Cucurbita maxima plant extracts of various solvents posses potential of folk medicinal properties. Further research work is in progress.

 Abstract

The Afghan government and international community (IC) have been fighting a war against the Afghan Taliban for over 15 years with no signs of weakening them which proves their strategies have failed. In order for them to win the war against the Afghan Taliban, they must re-strategize and cut off their funding resources and win over both sympathizers and the general public by reducing casualties and corruption. Dismantling the Afghan Taliban can be accomplished by taking the war to the Taliban through employing, training, and mobilizing undercover intelligence officers to infiltrate the villages and districts. This will require fewer troops on the ground and mitigate civilian and military casualties while also being cost effective. By focusing on the Taliban that operates and controls part of Afghanistan, research will prove the importance of international cooperation to eliminate the Afghan Taliban�s funding and promote good governance. More specifically, it will provide evidence of how they are able to successfully remain funded without government intervention, and how international cooperation can eliminate their resources and infiltrate their cells which will ultimately diminish their presence. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to explain the necessity for international cooperation to combat Taliban funding and to recruit, train, and mobilize undercover intelligence officers in order to prove what support is needed to be successful.
