Eyes of the Mind and Other Stories
The author, on the one hand, has written simple yet thoughtprovoking stories about minor turbulences in the work-life balance of working women, and on the other, has given a heartrending account of those who had to sacrifice their personal needs and aspirations for the sake of others. An empathetic connection with those, who are physically challenged, has been established in two of the stories. Some stories, written in the backdrop of the lives of civil servants, make an interesting and informative reading. ************* Poor girl was swinging in the pendulum of hope and expectations on one end to disappointments and rejections on the other. It seemed nobody cared for her feelings. She was u...
Integrated Organic Farming Systems: Approach for Efficient Food Production and Environmental Sustainability
Researchers and policy planners are in search of a solution to address the twin challenges of maximizing agricultural production while maintaining/ improving ecosystem sustainability. Enhancing farm productivity is needed in certain regions of the world to satisfy local food consumption and farmers' needs. Linear economy-based-input intensive conventional agriculture (CAPS) has increased production output but has not made agriculture more sustainable. Henceforth, a farming system that aims to reduce the adverse impact on the environment, as well as enhance agricultural productivity by reducing environmental footprint and improving soil health and economic wellbeing is needed in the present d...
‘Save Soil’ by Managing Soil Nutrient Losses, Agronomic Practices and Crop-Microbial Interaction: World Soil Day 2022
Soil is not only a fundamental source for all living organisms but also impacts non-living factors (water, air, minerals, etc.) making it an invaluable and finite resource. The importance of soil expands from agronomy through to industrialization, thus, it is crucial to understand the impact of human activity on soil quality. To address several global issues related to pollution, food security, and health, the United Nations promotes the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with targets to ‘save soil’ by minimizing nutrient loss and pollution load from the soil. Due to increasing anthropogenic pollution load, many soil pollution control measures are failing, therefore, new technologies a...
Fortifying India's Transformation
The decisions of the Indian State in the last decade have put India into a high growth trajectory - not just in terms of economic growth but also in the geopolitical, social and developmental domains. India’s growth story and development policies have become a beacon for other developing countries. The position that India is in today is a result of all the aforementioned policy decisions. However, through our interactions with youth in the age group of 18 to 35 years, we realised that they lack this background understanding of how their lives are impacted and improved by the decisions of the Indian State. To address this gap, we decided to write this book. Our book will help you understand...
Upland Rice In India
This book presents a comprehensive account of upland rice cultivation in different states of India. Upland rice system is considered as most diverse of all rice systems and each states of the country grow different varieties under a range of management conditions and cropping patterns. The 23 chapters in the book consolidate and share the knowledge on rainfed upland rice cultivation practiced in different states. It analyzes the upland rice agro-ecosystem in different states and encompasses various aspects of integrated nutrient management, pest management, varieties available and newer technologies introduced for adoption by farmers to improve the productivity of this fragile ecosystem.
Theoretical, Computational, and Experimental Solutions to Thermo-Fluid Systems
This book presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Innovations in Thermo-Fluid Engineering and Sciences (ICITFES 2020). It covers topics in theoretical and experimental fluid dynamics, numerical methods in heat transfer and fluid mechanics, different modes of heat transfer, multiphase flow, fluid machinery, fluid power, refrigeration and air conditioning, and cryogenics. The book will be helpful to the researchers, scientists, and professionals working in the field of fluid mechanics and machinery, and thermal engineering.
Bioinoculants with Nano-compounds to Improve Soil Health: A Step Toward Sustainable Agriculture
In recent decades, agrochemicals have enhanced crop productivity to meet increasing global food requirements. However, prolonged and extensive use of agrochemicals has resulted in contamination that persists in the soil system which can be biomagnified in the food chain. Furthermore, toxic chemicals adversely affect important soil microbial biota, the key drivers of biogeochemical cycles. This concern has raised the need to develop environmentally friendly and cost-effective nano- and micro-biotechnology strategies to minimize the adverse impact of agrochemicals and pesticide residues on soil microbiota, soil fertility, and their biomagnification in food crops. Nano-bioinoculants - the combi...
Modern Nanotechnology

It includes the design and the sophisticated fabrication of nanomaterials along with their potential energy and environmental applications, while looking at how nanoscience and nanotechnology can be used to promote environmentally friendly processes and strategies. The books' purpose is to promote eco-friendly methods and techniques by covering many elements of both the synthesis and uses of nanoparticles and nanofluids for en...
Advances in Data Science
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third International Conference on Advances in Data Science, ICIIT 2018, held in Chennai, India, in December 2018. The 11 full papers along with 4 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions.The papers are organized in topical sections on data science foundations, data management and processing technologies, data analytics and its applications.
Integrated nutrients management: An approach for sustainable crop production and food security in changing climates
Soil health and fertility are continuously declining due to the removal of essential plant nutrients from the soils in the current changing climate scenario. Due to less soil organic carbon (SOC) and growing of high-yielding varieties and hybrids further increases deficiencies of both macro and micronutrients that had a negative impact on soil health, crop productivity, food security, and growers. Integrated nutrients management not only increases crop productivity and growers' income but also increases soil fertility, health, and sustainability in changing climates. Integrated nutrients management (INM) refers to the maintenance of soil fertility and improvement in crop productivity with the application of plant nutrients through the combined application of organic fertilizers (animal manures and plant residues), chemical fertilizers (urea, SSP, DAP, etc.) and bio-fertilizers (beneficial microbes).
