India has 9.06 millions of Pigs and more than 40% of them are in north eastern India as per 20th Livestock census. There is a decline of 1.23 million of pigs compared to previous census. Pigs are mainly reared by economically disadvantaged people in the society. This reduction in pig population may be attributed to diseases affecting pigs and in turn lack of knowledge about their management. Delay in management of diseases affecting pigs causes huge economic losses. We do not find a comprehensive information on pig diseases and their management in Indian perspective at one place in one book. Many Researchers, Academicians, Veterinary officers and students conversed that there should be a book on Pig diseases and their management referring to the scenario present in India and also to be written by academicians, researchers working on different diseases of Pigs and their management in India. This is how a thought process flowed into selecting a topic on Pig diseases and their management and experts were selected to scribe on topics of bacterial, viral and parasitic diseases of pigs and their management.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: English. ABOUT THE BOOK The 2018 Kerala floods imparts an urgency to begin a broader conversation on India's resource choices, its drivers as well as determinants and its likely consequences for the day to day life of millions who are at the receiving end of flood fury. Managing flood rage presupposes linking the different domains of science. It cannot be understood in isolation from the crucial issues of growth and development, quality of politics, land use management, water supply, solid waste management and disaster prevention. This book helps to identify the missing links that are presently outside the mainstream discourse. Incorporating a human rights perspective in understanding and framing disaster response affirms the rights and dignity of vulnerable people and can provide opportunities to transform societies and deepen equality in the aftermath of disasters. The importance of common property and citizens' rights is already engrained in the basic framework of the governance of Kerala. However, the neo liberal practice that is in vogue has seriously eroded its strength in governance. Kerala had to streamline its governance policy framework in tune with the new market rules of globalization. Today it is well understood that the legacy of Kerala Model Development (KMD) has neither fructified into a self sustaining growth by itself, nor appropriated the potential of free market forces to stimulate a balanced multi-sectoral growth. The concept of development itself has transformed globally in the context of the environmental catastrophe the world has witnessed recently. Climate change, resource constraints and destruction, over use and over exploitation, bio-diversity loss, rising social inequalities and poverty questions the existing development models. Apart from raising the pertinent question of how to steer the course of development of the state, the book put forward solutions to secure sustainable development that can address the needs and aspirations of the people along with the responsibility of safeguarding our ecosystem. ABOUT THE AUTHOR R.K. Suresh Kumar, is former Associate Professor and Head, Department of Political Science, University College, Thiruvan-anthapuram.
