Book Description
Globally grain legumes are the second most important group of crops in the world. Together with cereals, they have been dominant staple for human food and animal feed. About one third of dietary protein and almost an equal amount of processed vegetable oils are estimated to come from grain legumes. In the world, total grain legume production exceeds 300 million tons (pulses 61.34 million tons, groundnut 35.50 million tons and soybean 203.16 million tons). They occupy 190 million ha of land (13% of the total land under cultivation). Among countries, India is the key player contributing to the global kitty. Approximately, 840 million people are undernourished mainly on account of inadequate intake of proteins, vitamins and minerals in their diets. Grain legumes provide micro-nutrients and dietary proteins that play essential role in human nutrition by complementing other foods that are primary source of carbohydrates. Legume seeds generally contain 20-25% proteins and significant amount of micronutrients. Combined consumption of cereals and legumes largely alleviate mutual deficiencies ensuring a balanced diet. Unfortunately, this is seldom the case as legume yields are generally low. Thus, increasing legume yields has important bearing on improving nutrition and health.

GOVERNANCE AND POVERTY REDUCTION
Author: AMITA SINGH
Publisher: PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.
ISBN: 8120336984
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
Poverty reduction in South Asia is a precondition for sustaining any form of reforms in governance. The new public management reforms which started in South Asia from Sri Lanka taking the initiative in 1977–78 have been a decisive break from the previously practised State driven protectionist system. Investment in the region has been rising and even per capita income has shown some increase, yet the state has not been able to lead these reforms appropriately and efficiently. Thus poverty has not been reduced, ordinary people continue to languish under government programmes and the socially excluded remain outside the mainstream decision making bodies. Governance in South Asia faces the single most important challenge of poverty reduction which continues to blunt and disfigure capacity, self esteem and service delivery system to the poor. This book attempts to bring out microlevel studies from many regions in South Asia to address issues of entrepreneurship, knowledge and professionalism. As an initiator of the idea on developing a critique to the straightjacketed ‘best practice’ research, this book questions the standard practice in evaluating administrative reforms as not being the true base for knowledge. Administrators need to balance capacity and control in every implementation programme. Confining to the knowledge of ‘best practices’ may conceal enormous amount of information from the ‘less than best’ practices which may be necessary to sustain good initiatives of public managers. This book highlights areas of active networking, partnerships and collaborations amongst state and non-state bodies, NGOs and specialist Science and Technical Organizations. The true nature of governance is explained and demonstrated through the processes which otherwise pass off undetected in macro-understanding of governance.

Negotiating Terrain in Local Governance
Author: Riya Banerjee
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030606635
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
This book explores and analyses women’s participation in local urban governance in West Bengal, India. It is developed from empirical research with in-depth understanding of ground situations of freedom, functioning and obstacles of women councilors in India. The central idea of this book revolves around two central research questions: 1. How are women’s positions and spaces changing due to their political participation in the urban local governance? and 2. What are the major hurdles they face in their day to day lives barring their emancipation? The main strength of the book lies in the in-depth grounded research in four small cities (Darjiling, Balurghat, Raniganj and Hugli-Chinsurah) using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. This volume can be considered as a reference book for Gender Studies, Women’s Studies, Urban Governance, Women and Policy Research, Gender Development Studies.

Riverine Ecology Volume 1
Author: Susanta Kumar Chakraborty
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030538974
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 592
Book Description
This book is part of a two-volume set that offers an innovative approach towards developing methods and tools for assigning conservation categories of threatened taxa and their conservation strategies by way of different phases of eco-restoration in the context of freshwater river systems of tropical bio-geographic zones. The set provides a considerable volume of research on the biodiversity component of river ecosystems, seasonal dynamics of physical chemical parameters, geo-hydrological properties, types, sources and modes of action of different types of pollution, river restoration strategies and methodologies for the ongoing ecological changes of river ecosystems. Volume 1 provides an in-depth analysis of different theories with international relevance pertaining to the functioning of river ecosystems, shaping their structure and contributing ecological services, and includes the principles of riverine ecology such as biogeochemical cycles, physiography, hydrogeology, and physico-chemical parameters. It covers the basic concepts and principles of water within riverine ecosystems, and the underlying ecological principles operating to ensure ecological stability and sustainability of the fluvial ecosystem. The book explains the ecofunctionality of different geo-morphological, geo-hydrological and physico-chemical factors and processes in changing time scales and spaces, with special emphasis on the tropical fresh water rivers in India.
