Copyright form
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.
Proof reading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting or conversion errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Ethical Guidelines for the author
• Authors should adhere to publication requirements that submitted work is original and has not been published elsewhere in any language. Work should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co-publication. If articles are co-published this fact should be made clear to readers.
• Copyright material (e.g. tables, figures or extensive quotations) should be reproduced only with appropriate permission and acknowledgement.
• Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors’ own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced.
• Data, text, figures or ideas originated by other researchers should be properly acknowledged and should not be presented as if they were the authors’ own
• All sources of research funding, including direct and indirect financial support, supply of equipment or materials, and other support (such as specialist statistical or writing assistance) should be disclosed.
• Authors should disclose the role of the research funder(s) or sponsor (if any) in the research design, execution, analysis, interpretation and reporting
• The research literature serves as a record not only of what has been discovered but also of who made the discovery. The authorship of research publications should therefore accurately reflect individuals’ contributions to the work and its reporting.
• In cases where major contributors are listed as authors while those who made less substantial, or purely technical, contributions to the research or to the publication are listed in an acknowledgement section, the criteria for authorship and acknowledgement should be agreed at the start of the project.
• Researchers should ensure that only those individuals who meet authorship criteria (i.e. made a substantial contribution to the work) are rewarded with authorship and that deserving authors are not omitted. Institutions and journal editors should encourage practices that prevent guest, gift, and ghost authorship.
• All authors should agree to be listed and should approve the submitted and accepted versions of the publication. Any change to the author list should be approved by all authors including any who have been removed from the list. The corresponding author should act as a point of contact between the editor and the other authors and should keep co-authors informed and involve them in major decisions about the publication (e.g. responding to reviewers’ comments).
• Authors should work with the editor or publisher to correct their work promptly if errors or omissions are discovered after publication.
• Authors should abide by relevant conventions, requirements, and regulations to make materials, reagents, software or datasets available to other researchers who request them. Researchers, institutions, and funders should have clear policies for handling such requests. Authors must also follow relevant journal standards. While proper acknowledgement is expected, researchers should not demand authorship as a condition for sharing materials.
• Authors should follow publishers’ requirements that work is not submitted to more than one publication for consideration at the same time.
• Authors should inform the editor if they withdraw their work from review, or choose not to respond to reviewer comments after receiving a conditional acceptance.
• Authors should respond to reviewers’ comments in a professional and timely manner.
• Appropriate approval, licensing or registration should be obtained before the research begins and details should be provided in the report (e.g. Institutional Review Board, Research Ethics Committee approval, national licensing authorities for the use of animals).
• If requested by editors, authors should supply evidence that reported research received the appropriate approval and was carried out ethically (e.g. copies of approvals, licences, participant consent forms).
• Researchers should not generally publish or share identifiable individual data collected in the course of research without specific consent from the individual (or their representative). Researchers should remember that many scholarly journals are now freely available on the internet, and should therefore be mindful of the risk of causing danger or upset to unintended readers (e.g. research participants or their families who recognise themselves from case studies, descriptions, images or pedigrees).
• The appropriate statistical analyses should be determined at the start of the study and a data analysis plan for the prespecified outcomes should be prepared and followed.
• Researchers should publish all meaningful research results that might contribute to understanding. In particular, there is an ethical responsibility to publish the findings of all clinical trials. The publication of unsuccessful studies or experiments that reject a hypothesis may help prevent others from wasting time and resources on similar projects. If findings from small studies and those that fail to reach statistically significant results can be combined to produce more useful information (e.g. by meta-analysis) then such findings should be published.
• Authors should supply research protocols to journal editors if requested (e.g. for clinical trials) so that reviewers and editors can compare the research report to the protocol to check that it was carried out as planned and that no relevant details have been omitted. Researchers should follow relevant requirements for clinical trial registration and should include the trial registration number in all publications arising from the trial.

Page: 217-220 The world can be influenced by consumers in many different ways through their purchasing power. Ethical consumerism is carried out by "positive buying," which favours ethical products, or by "negative buying," which involves boycotting goods that adversely impact the health of consumers or others, harm the environment during production, use, or disposal, use excessive energy, produce unnecessary waste, use materials that inflict unnecessary suffering on animals. The major areas of concern, types and history of ethical consumerism have been discussed in this paper. The key behavioural patterns, factors influencing and decision model of ethical consumers have been taken into consideration. In the last section, motivators, trends and challenges of ethical consumerism are discussed.

Page: 273-275 FDI usually represents a long term commitment to host country and contribute significantly to gross fixed capital formation in developing countries. FDI has several advantages over other types of capital flows, in particular its greater stability and the fact that it would not create obligations for the host country. The ongoing process of integration of the world economy has led to a significant change in the attitudes of the host countries with respect to inward foreign direct investment (FDI). The determinants of the FDI are numerous. Whether particular action of investor or government is responsible for increase or decrease in the investment for a given period is treated as determinant. There is not a single variable which would influence investment to rise or fall but it is comprised of a set of variables. It would be very valuable to review the key determinants and factors of FDI based on the theories of international investment. Through this paper an attempt is made to study the determinants which influence the FDI inflow into India and other nations. The study period ranging between 1991and 2018.

Pages: 84-86 India is the world's largest producer and consumer of a wide range of various pulses, predominately tropical and sub-tropical crops such as chickpea, black gram and green gram (mungbean) and others, which are high in protein, fibre, and vitamins, as well as high-quality carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins. The study is attempted to examine trends and growth pattern of major pulses crops in India based on secondary data collected from various published sources for the period 1980-2020. The major pulses crops: Green gram, Black gram and Chickpea have been taken under consideration and data on area, production and yield of selected crops have been utilized at India level. Standard deviation (SD) and Coefficient of Variation (CV) were used to measure the variability in the collated data. The compound annual growth rates (CAGR) for area, production and yield were estimated and found to have best fitting with the data. The linear model was fitted to estimate the trends of area, production and yield of crop. The study revealed that highest average area in India was under chickpea followed by black gram and green gram and that production and yield follow the same pattern. In terms of area and production, black gram showed largest fluctuations, followed by chickpea and green gram. The most stable yield was found in chickpea among all selected crops.

Pages: 87-90 The present research study was conducted in Calicut, Ernakulam, and Thiruvananthapuram districts of Kerala during 2020-2021 to identify sustaining and impeding factors influencing youth to take up agriculture as a primary occupation. Focus group discussions were conducted among ninety youth selected for the study from nine rural panchayats and nine urban wards of the three purposively selected districts. On analysis, it was observed that to protect nature, increased affinity towards natural farming, farming gives peaceful life and staying close to family, to engage in agribusiness and to make profits were major sustaining factors and lack of credit support, lack of minimum support prices, scarcity of labour, poor knowledge on scientific methods of cultivation and low social image were reported as impeding factors influencing their participation in agriculture and allied sectors. Strategies such as credit support schemes for youth, agriculture as compulsory course curriculum in school education, promotion of training schemes facilitated by state and central governments among youth, popularization of urban agriculture through modern cultivation techniques were enlisted.

Pages: 91-94 The village stay module (VSM) of Rural Agricultural Work Experience Programme (RAWEP) of Kerala Agricultural University is intended to give direct exposure to the Agricultural students on the socio cultural settings and the life of the farming community. The study was conducted as expost facto design in the five locations where VSM of RAWEP of KAU was conducted. Respondents were selected through purposive sampling. Data was collected through structured and pretested interview Schedule. Perception index, RBQ, and weighed mean were the statistical tools. Development plan was successful in projecting the entrepreneurial scope of crops/commodities unique to that village. Enhancing the duration of VSM, more involvement of scientists, proper publicity, and soil test results at the location itself and providing solutions to farmers through innovative technologies are to be considered for fine-tuning of VSM. This study is significant in the context that Agricultural Universities has to support to farming community through agricultural education, research and extension. The finding of the study help curriculum developers to make necessary changes in the curriculum of VSM so that the students may get a clear understanding of farming situation. Pages: 91-94P.
