Emerging technologies hold promise for improvement of student achievement and teaching quality. The paper has been examined to evaluate the learning process of 58 nominated faculty of Agriculture Universities (AUs) through online and offline mode by using “Exploratory” type of research design. Data collected by using 'questionnaires' as a data collection tool. To display patterns of evaluating performance in the form of quantitative data, the statistical technique called “Box plot technique” was applied. This technique splits the data set into four quartiles based on the marks they obtained. To study difference between the evaluation pattern of offline and online learning process, t-test was employed. The mean for offline and online learners was 60.6 and 63.3, whereas variance of offline and online learners was 57.4 and 103.7 respectively. The 't' calculated value was less than 't' table value. So it can be deduced that offline learners were non-significant with online learners in case of overall performance.

With students in the center of the education production function and various stakeholders surrounding them teachers act as a prime tool to deliver knowledge directly to the students and act as bridge to connect students, parents and institute. With the evolutionary changes in the society, technology and psychological mind set of the students, it is very much essential for the teachers to upgrade and equip themselves to meet out the growing expectations and to sort out the daily unexpected challenges. Thus study aims to understand the perceived training needs of the undergraduate level agricultural teachers of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University. The main campus of Coimbatore was purposively selected for the study. There were totally 26 departments from where courses were offered to the Undergraduate students. From each department, two respondents (representing, one from junior scientists & one from senior scientists categories) were selected on consultation with the heads of the departments. Thus, 52 respondents were selected using purposive sampling method. Majority of the teaching scientists showed maximum interest equally towards online teaching and content development, and motivation techniques. The second rated training need was stress management followed by improved methods of classroom teaching and personality development.

Post-harvest management is the stage of crop production immediately after harvest, including cooling, cleaning,
post-harvest treatment, grading, sorting, storage, ripening, packaging, transportation and processing. When mango crop is separated from its parent plant, it begins to deteriorate or ripening becomes fast because mango is a climacteric fruit, i.e., fruit in which a sudden rise in rate of respiration occurs during ripening after harvesting. The most important goals of post-harvest management practices are keeping the product cool, to avoid moisture stress and slow down ripening and undesirable physio-chemical changes, proper grading/sorting, packaging, and avoiding physical damage such as bruising and rupturing of fruit. The unscientific post-harvest handling will result in increased post-harvest loss. Thus, post-harvest management practices are important in minimizing losses, spoilage and cost in transportation earning more profit from processed products and to raise the economic status of the mango growers of Haryana. The present study, Yamunanagar district of Haryana state was selected purposively The objectives of the present study were socio economic status, knowledge, adoption and the constraints in adoption of post-harvest management practices by mango growers. Only Langra, Dasheri and Chausa varieties of mango were adopted. There was no adoption of other recommended varieties. More than half (55.84%) of the farmers fully adopted the artificial method of ripening with calcium carbide. Majority of the respondents adopted semi-ripe stage of fruit, corrugated fiber boxes, shreds of paper as cushioning material and horizontal position of fruits while packaging.

Educational Provisions for children with disabilities varies from region to region and from country to country.
Although there is widespread support for inclusion at a philosophical level, there are concerns that it is difficult to implement for a number of reasons, including that schools do not know how to do it. For Inclusion to work effectively, there is a need to expand and develop the capacity of schools to respond to diversity among children and to move away from traditional practices to innovative approaches of teaching and learning. Regular classroom teachers and special teachers need to be equipped with more comprehensive knowledge and skills required to cater special educational needs of students with a wider spectrum of disability. The study highlighted on building capacity and enabling the existing institutions already working with children to enhance their competence in handling disabled and non-disabled children in regular schools by using whole school approach to promote education of children with special needs in inclusive setting. In a developing country like India with huge resource crunch, the approach/ strategy implemented in the study has tremendous scope for promoting 'Social Inclusion' in the true sense.

The Handloom sector is the second largest employer in India providing employment in tune of 65 lakh persons. The
sector represents the continuity of the old age Indian heritage of hand weaving and reflects the socio-cultural
tradition of the living communities. There are number of government scheme that provide assistance for this sector in new five-year plans. Self-help groups of women in India have been recognised as an effective strategy for capacity building of rural as well as urban women. Training is a major catalytic Force for argument in human
productivity in all states of development. Proper training in Handloom weaving and value addition is needed to take up as an entrepreneurial activity for SHG's. Present study was conducted in Dhangar and Bhingar villages in
Fatehabad district of Haryana state. Intervention on handloom weaving was given to twenty-fiveSHG women of
each village for 45 days by Weaver Service Centre, Panipat. Five products namely durrie, khes, towel, bed sheet and foot mat were prepared duringthe training period. All respondents (100%) had low knowledge regarding towel
weaving followed by bed sheet weaving (92.00%) and durrie weaving (40.00%). For reinforcement and practice
adda and raw materials were provided to each centre. Technical know-how was also provided through literature.
After completion of intervention, majority of the respondents (52.0%), and 44.0 percent succeeded in gaining high level knowledge in durrie, khes and foot mat weaving. Skill acquisition was found in high category regarding durrie weaving (84%) and stool mat weaving (72.0%). Training impact in terms of knowledge gain, attitudinal change and skill acquisition was found 49.77 percent regarding handloom weaving. Adoption feasibility index was found 82.28 percent on five attributes. Major constraints in adoption of handloom weaving as an entrepreneurial venture perceived by SHGs during training were 'non-co-operation” of SHG members (88.0%) in using resources, “less time allotment” for work on adda (80.0%) and“within group conflicts” reported by 72.0 percent. Self-help group effectiveness index was found 54.45 percent on different traits of SHGs, which speaks of a moderate level functioning.

This article is analyzing the importance of the availability of adequate resources in the education sector. The New Education Policy in order to tackle problems of multiple- grade teaching, single teacher teaching all the subjects, inadequate resources, problem of governance and management, lack of proper attention, has offered 'School Complexes'. The aim was to make a cluster of one secondary school with all the other grades that are within the radii of five to ten miles, so that they can function as a whole, utilizing each-others resources. It will not require physical relocation of schools but an administrative integration, with each school as a semi-autonomous unit. Although the idea emerged in the Kothari Commission report and experimented with these complexes in various states. The article critically analyzes the results of the earlier school complexes, and what more the New Education Policy offers in the school's complexes than the earlier policies, possible challenges that might come while realizing it and also the scopes of the changes it is capable to bring in rural India.

Fluid intelligence refers to abilities those are innate and independent of prior education or experience. Fluid
intelligence has been defined as the ability to think logically and solve problems in novel situations, independent of acquired knowledge. The fluid intelligence is general ability to think abstractly, reason, identifying patterns, solving problems and discerns relationships. The present study was conducted in four districts namely; Hisar Fatehabad, Rohtak and Jind of Haryana state with the purpose of availability of maximum numbers of twins in the required age group. A sample of 296 pairs of twins in the age group for the study. Fluid intelligence was taken as dependent variable and socio-economic variable was taken as independent variable. Fluid intelligence was measured with the help of Cattle Culture Fair Intelligence Test (Scale-I and II developed by (Cattell & Cattell, 1959). Scheduled was developed to assess the socio-economic variable of twins. Result revealed that fluid intelligence of twins was significantly associated with father's education (2=10.26*), mother's occupation (2=19.29*) and father's occupation (2=10.44*) of twins but non significantly associated with age (2=0.73), gender (2=1.78), family type (2=1.07) family size (2=8.15), caste (2=8.04), mother's education (2=6.49), family income (2=4.58), and number of sibling (2=3.37).

The literature on environment and ecology is replete with articles and essays on human onslaught on environment
and the resulting consequences. It is getting more and more glaring that if we do not change our mindsets and
lifestyles then the consequent catastrophes cannot be contained. We need to work for a sustainable future by
developing in the present and future generations newer vision, perspectives, practices and work culture. Our
commitment for a sustainable future should be firmly anchored with a robust education system enabling young
minds to develop knowledge and skills to protect, preserve and promote a healthy environment and safety. Green
skills leading to green careers and green economy is the call of the present. This paper attempts to present how
skilling India with green skills will help her cope with economic slowdown and unemployment without
jeopardizing nation's natural environment and resources. More specifically, it focuses on how Green Skills can help protect, preserve and promote India's natural environment with increased productivity. Education, impregnated with Green skills is the only hope to conserve the environment. Imparting Green skills should begin right from the school level. The paper finds its relevance at a time when India is working on a National Education Policy -2019 (NEP, 2019).

Academic stress is mental burden installed onto the student's brain due to excess and unnecessary load of school
work and high parental expectations. Academic resilience contextualizes the resilience build and redirects an
increased likelihood of educational success despite difficulty, therefore the study was piloted to examine the
relationship academic resilience with academic stress. The study was undertaken in Hisar district of Haryana state in rural and urban area. A list of adolescents studying in arts and science stream from XI and XII class was prepared from govt. and private schools of rural and urban area i.e. 100 from rural area and 100 from urban area from thus making a total sample of 200 adolescents. Academic resilience scale by Mallick and Kaur (2015) was used to assess academic resilience and academic stress scale by Rao (2012) was used to assess academic stress of respondents. The finding elucidates that science stream respondents had higher level of academic stress than arts stream respondents and private school respondents also face more academic stress than govt. school respondents. Significant differences found for both govt. and private and arts and science stream respondents. Results regards to academic resilience unveils that science stream respondents had more academic resilience than their counter parts and academic resilience was significantly and negatively correlated with academic stress .
