Abstract The present study was conducted to study the emotional intelligence levels of male and female adolescents of different sociocultural settings and to assess the efficacy of intervention programs. The total sample comprised of 325 adolescents from five different institutions of urban, rural and tribal areas of Jorhat district of Assam. A standardized questionnaire named MEII was administered to measure the Emotional Intelligence of the adolescents. An intervention package had been prepared by the researcher to enhance the emotional intelligence levels of adolescents. Study revealed that majority of adolescents of urban culture projected more efficiency in all the dimensions of emotional intelligence than the adolescents of rural culture barring interpersonal management before intervention. The adolescents of tribal culture possessed low level of emotional intelligence in all its dimensions before intervention. The results of intervention program emphasized that emotional intelligence can be elevated significantly when intervened appropriately.

Abstract The present study aims to find the overall impact of entrepreneurship development on women’s status and the extent to which an entrepreneur is empowered. The study was conducted in Vaishali district of Bihar. The ex post facto research design was used for the study. A total of 100 women entrepreneurs were randomly selected for the purpose from 4 out of the 16 blocks in the district. A survey schedule was developed for the collection of data, based on pre-testing. For measuring the extent of women’s empowerment a set of three indicators—”level of mobility”, “decision-making power”, and “awareness and capacity building” consisting of different sub indicators was constructed. The data was analyzed statistically for frequency, percentage, correlation coefficient and multiple regressions. The findings revealed that there is a substantial improvement in overall status of women in the family. The empowerment index score for the indicator “level of mobility”, of the majority of the respondents was in the medium to high category. The study concluded that as much as 64% of the respondents exhibited their extent of empowerment in medium category.

Abstract The present study is aimed to find any significant relations between study habits and academic achievements amongst college students. For this purpose, a sample of 113 adolescents between 17 to 22 years was selected from the College of Home Science, CSKHPKV, Palampur, Himachal Pradesh. They were administered with the Study Habit Inventory Marks obtained in previously passed out classes which were taken as an indicator of their academic achievement. Analyses of the results suggested significant relations between academic achievement and study habits. High achieving adolescents were found to perform better in comprehension, task orientation and recording. The factors affecting the study habits were age, family income and education which were significantly related. For the rest of the variables, no significant relations were observed among the groups under consideration.

Abstract Malnutrition is widely prevalent among Indian children as well as in other developing countries. Malnutrition affects physical as well as mental growth and also prevents a child developing into a fully functional adult. The Mid Day Meal (MDM) program was launched on 15th August 1995. It was based on one meal provided to the children, who are attending elementary school (primary school). This program was started with an objective of universalizing of education by enrolment, attendance and nutritional status. Several states in our country are running this program fully or partially. In Chhattisgarh, this program was started in July 2001.The present work was carried out on 400 children studying in Government primary schools of Raipur city. Out of 400 students, 271 were girls and 129 were boys. All the subjects were analyzed for nutritional status (weight, height); haemoglobin estimation was done by cynamythmoglobin method to find out the anaemic status. The clinical examination was carried out as an indicator of deficiency symptoms of diseases. Other parameters like enrolment, attendance, and cost analysis were also examined to analyze the impact of program. The mean weight of experimental group was increase by 20± 5.17 kg to 22.87± 5.02 kg (14.34 percent increase), whereas the mean height increased by 117.77± 12.64 to 119.01 ± 12 cm (6.48 percent). The mean haemoglobin level was increased by 6.49gm/dl to11.11gm/dl. The mean weight of experimental girls (56) was increased by 19.76 kg to 22.74 kg. In the present study 42.5 percent students had dull and dry hair, 53.25 percent had teeth carries where as 32.25 percent had dull and dry eyes. The enrolment of students was increased 2548 to 2793 (9.62 percent). 55 percent (220) children had attendance more than 90 percent. The result of the work shows improvement in nutritional status and haemoglobin level. Major advantage of the program was improved enrolment and attendance, which is the most beneficial aspect. In the second phase of the study one school was selected for nutrition education. One months’ consecutive training was organized for the children to eat their meal hygienically. The children were encouraged to develop habits like (cleaning hands before meals, use of clean utensils, avoiding wastage of food, etc.). The result shows positive impact but it required continuous monitoring and guidance. Centralise kitchen made good response for school authority as well as students. The overall results are good but some untouched area required much attention for the success of this program.

Abstract Bad lighting arrangements can be unsafe and health hazard. In commercial buildings lighting should fulfill both functional and aesthetic requirements and it should be oriented towards product sales and satisfying the consumers taking into consideration the health, well-being of salespersons and purchasing behavior of consumers. A major challenge in recent times in the illumination field has been to define how light affects health, not only in aspects related to work but also to comfortable work environment. The prime objective of the study was to explore the physiological health conditions of salespersons under lighting in retail cloth stores. For the study, ten retail cloth stores were selected in Hyderabad and Secunderabad, the twin cities of Andhra Pradesh. The study was conducted on 100 salespersons, who were working in these retail cloth stores. The data was collected by using an interview schedule. The findings of the study revealed that the impact of the artificial lighting on physiological health conditions was found to be moderate. Bright lighting played a significant role on the salespersons’ health.

Abstract Main aim of present study was to develop hosiery material for khadi cottage industry. Hand spun cotton and cotton: polyester yarns were utilized to construct knit fabric in manually operated knitting machine. Plain knit and rib knit fabrics (1x1, 2x2) were developed in flat bed cotton hosiery machine of 14 gauge 40 inch. Comfort and mechanical properties of knitted fabrics constructed from hand spun cotton and cotton: polyester yarns were tested by standard procedure. It was found that cotton knitted khadi fabric is more comfortable than cotton: polyester khadi knit with less pilling tendency. On the other hand, strength and abrasion resistance of cotton:polyester khadi fabric is better than cotton knit fabric.

Abstract Thirty normal and thirty obese subjects from two colleges each from an urban and rural location were chosen randomly to study the underlying dietary causes of obesity and to understand rural-urban epidemiologic transition of obesity among youngsters. 29.4 and 34.6 percent higher BMI and body fat was observed among obese girls in comparison to normal girls, respectively. The higher dietary intakes of energy, protein, carbohydrates and fat were the most significant determinants of obesity among both urban and rural girls. Despite higher energy intake, the intake of vitamins and minerals were significantly (p< 0.01) higher in obese girls which may have positive impact on their overall health. The consumption of rice, root vegetables, whole milk, chocolates, biscuits and fried snacks were significantly (p< 0.01) higher in both urban and rural obese girls. Thus, nutrition awareness needs to be promoted among young girls through various educational programs, so that they can achieve optimum body composition and desirable body weights.

Abstract Family as an integral part of everyone’s life could play a crucial role in establishing and providing a protective base for development of mental psyche especially to adolescents. However, how a family function is, to a greater extent, determined by its ecological regions. The present study establishes the status of family functioning of adolescents residing in varied residential areas. A total of 160 adolescents (80 boys and 80 girls) studying in class X and XII from CBSE affiliated schools and their parents (160 mothers and 160 fathers) was the sample for the present study. The comparative data was assembled from two cities of Haryana namely Hisar/non-NCR and Gurgaon/NCR. Findings divulged that adolescents residing in NCR had comparatively unbalanced family functioning which calls for strengthening of familial ties for better adolescent prospects and psyche.

Abstract Leafy greens are an important part of any diet. They provide fiber, essential vitamins and minerals like iron, calcium and magnesium and add to any meal. They provide protection against diseases like high cholesterol, heart disease, and diabetes etc. Indian cuisine is noted for its use of leafy greens that are commonly called as “Saag”. Saag is a generic term used for a variety of greens like spinach, mustard leaves, amaranth etc. The present study aimed to assess women’s knowledge and consumption pattern of Green Leafy Vegetables (GLVs) and factors influencing the buying behavior. The present study was carried out on 100 women of Raipur City. A selfdesigned interview schedule including information on demographic data and knowledge about GLVs has been used to collect the data. 82% women said that they consume Green Leafy Vegetables and 27% of women consume GLVs because they are cost effective, 25% of women consume GLVs due to perceived nutritional value.

Abstract This study was carried out on rural mothers of Jalandhar district in Punjab state. Most of the rural mothers made use of diapers up to the age of six months. Soft cotton material was preferred by them being low in cost, easy to wash and wear as well as durable too. None of the rural mothers used plastic diapers for babies at home except during travelling. Colour, design and attractiveness of the diapers were least preferred by them. They also narrated the reason for diaper rash for being wet and tight by majority of the mothers followed by use of synthetic/blended material, use of hard soap, never boiled, disinfected and bleached under sunlight.
