This sector has a myriad of less visible and even invisible workers such as the agriculture workers, construction workers, house based workers, barbers, cobblers, rag pickers, vendors, head-loaders, cart pullers, rickshaw pullers and cart drivers living at the survivalist end of the spectrum. They have very fragile incomes, poor working and living conditions and, by and large, remain excluded by the law and all sorts of social protection mechanisms. This volume is based on a study on the workers in informal sector with special reference to rickshaw pullers. These rickshaw pullers, though, play an essential role by providing cheap and flexible transport services to the urban poor, however, continue to remain ignored in most policy-making frameworks. Most of them are among the poorest of the poor and have an unregulated work environment marked by hazardous working and living conditions and daily harassment. Besides providing conceptual framework on informal sector, this book presents various aspects like the migration, socio economic profile, health, welfare and work environment of the rickshaw pullers who, by and large, remain on the margins of the process of development. As these workers are socially and economically vulnerable and deprived due to lack of education, skills and awareness, the book has brought out ways and means via which their quality of life can be improved. The book, thus, suggests various social work intervention strategies and recommendations for their overall development. This book will prove very useful for researchers, students and educators in field of informal Economy, Social Policy and Social Work practice.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The most detailed account of the Indian Navy s naval air campaign in the 1971 Indo-Pak War. India had a decisive victory over Pakistan in the 1971 war. East Pakistan disappeared from the world map and, in its place, Bangladesh was born as a new, independent country. Of the many factors that contributed to this victory in the war, an important one was the active participation of the Indian Navy. The Indian Navy, starting out as a subsidiary of the Royal British Navy, grew in importance and power under the aegis of Lord Louis Mountbatten after Independence. With the efforts of dynamic officers such as Admiral S.M. Nanda, it gradually grew in terms of equipment and power. It took the years preceding 1971 for it to reach maturity and to contribute in a spectacular manner to the war effort, such that it was instrumental in blockading both West Pakistan and East Pakistan. This book chronicles that story.…

Fruits. 7. Pollination. 8. Technology involvement in modern seed production. 9. Sustainable seed development technology. 10. Structural variations. Bibliography. Index. This book has been designed to introduce to the reader the scientific principles underlying seed science and technology by setting them against commercial (e.g. seed supply weed control) as well as non commercial (e.g. habitat restoration) contexts. It seeks to make a broad understanding of the various pieces that make up the jigsaw puzzle of this science and probes into the potential and the future of this industry. This book begins the exploration and introduction of seed science by giving an overview of the basic elements like viability vigour quality and dormancy. The commercial and economic relevance of this industry is given an in depth insight into. Apart from that the different aspects of seed response to the environment such as effects of pre and post harvest environment on seed and consequences of subsequent tests have been thoroughly probed. With a compendious presentation of the subject readers associated with agricultural science would find this book highly useful. 274 pp.…

Seed testing plays a pivotal role in modern agriculture. The main objective of seed testing is to assess the actual planting value of the seed in terms of its germination capacity besides determination of percentage composition of the pure seeds weed seeds other crop species extraneous matter and moisture content of the submitted sample. Seed testing is the cornerstone of all other seed technologies. It is the means by which we measure the viability and all the physical factors that regulate the use and maintenance of seeds. Everything that is done with seeds should have some test information to guide the work and ensure high quality. Seed tests tell if a crop of seeds is worth collecting if handling procedures are correct and how many potential seedlings are available for regeneration. This book seeks to facilitate the reader to grasp the basic principles of seed testing. Bringing forth a comprehensive analysis of the subject this work fosters an enriching learning experience for the reader. 262 pp. …
