Food consumption and nutritional status in India: Emerging trends and perspectives
No full textThe paper reviews the trends over three decades in the consumption of cereals, calories and micronutrients and nutritional status based on anthropometric measures using the data sets of NSS, NNMB and NFHS. It provides an explanation for the slow growth of nutrient intake and slow reduction in malnutrition. The paper demonstrates that multiple factors influence the nutritional well-being of a child and argues that besides improving the income of a household, there is a need to improve the health and educational status of mothers.
Feeding macaques affects forests
No full textAmong the most common experiences in the country, when on a pilgrimage or a trip through the forests and hills, is the sight of rhesus macaque opportunistically lined up for a treat or two from passing tourists.
Videos abound of these clever primates stealing picnic snacks or scurrying around for food thrown by visitors. However, a study on primate-man interaction shows that this “benign act” by tourists is increasingly affecting the ecology of the region.
Researchers from the School of Natural Sciences and Engineering, National Institute of Advanced Studies in Bengaluru studied the effects of provisioning food to the rhesus macaques on the forests of Buxa Tiger Reserve (BTR) in West Bengal.
In a previous study at the same reserve, Asmita Sengupta, Kim R. McConkey, and Sindhu Radhakrishna from the institute had observed the effects of seed dispersal due to a troop of rhesus macaques. Nearly 50 per cent of the seeds handled by these primates had germinated
Economic development in Orissa: Growth without inclusion?
No full textThe economy of Orissa has been lagging behind the national economy by several decades. Its per capita net state domestic product, a measure of average income, stood at Rs.20200 for 2006-07 which falls behind the national average by about 35 per cent. Moreover, the gross domestic product of the state grew by a considerable lower rate than many other states for a long time despite its high growth potential. Drawing on the experience of several countries as well as that of India, various studies concluded that economic growth was the most critical factor for reduction of incidence of poverty in the state. It now seems that there has been a turning point in the last few years and the economy of Orissa has witnessed an acceleration in terms of the gross state domestic product (GSDP). The evidence presented here clearly shows that the economy is poised for a take-off to a high growth phase, almost similar to that at the national level. On the poverty dimension, however, the recent developments have been gloomy, to say the least. The consumption expenditure surveys carried out by the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO), the standard source of data for poverty analysis in India by official and non-official investigators, shows that the period 1993-2004 has witnessed a reversal of the achievements made on the poverty front during 1983-93. The prima facie evidence points towards a case of growth without inclusion and needs further probe.Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), India, Poverty
Growth Elasticity of poverty in the globe
No full textThis paper highlights the global economic prosperity and portrays the anatomy of poverty in developing countries. It analyses the incidence of rural and urban poverty persisting in fourteen countries including India. It address the contradiction of coexistence of poverty and hyper economic growth in the globe. It is found that the growth elasticity of poverty is very low in developing countries. It argues that economic growth process can be inclusive and sustainable only by curbing the process of marginalization, corruption and exploitationgrowth Elasticity, Poverty ,Asia, Europe

Manufacturing of Composites by Pressure Infiltration, Structure and Mechanical Properties
No full textThis paper presents the possibility of composite block production by using pressure
infiltration technology. This method uses the pressure of an inert gas (usually argon or
nitrogen) to force the melted matrix material to infiltrate the reinforcing elements. Two types
of materials were considered: metal matrix syntactic foam and carbon fibre reinforced metal
matrix composite. Physical and mechanical investigations – such as optical microscopy,
scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractography (XRD), tensile and upsetting
tests (considering aspect ratio) – were performed. The results of measurements are
summarized briefly here. Microscopic investigations showed almost perfect infiltration. XRD
measurements and tensile tests revealed negative effect of an intermetallic phase (Al(4)C(3)) on
ultimate tensile strength (UTS). Syntactic foams showed plateau region in their upsetting
diagrams. The effect of aspect ratio was also investigated. Specimens with higher aspect ratios
showed higher peak stress and higher modulus of elasticity. In the case of carbon fibre
reinforced metal matrix composites Al(4)C(3) ensured high compressive fracture strength
