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.

Lack of adequate credit facilities is a critical problem for this sector. Almost 92.77% of MSME units are completely dependent on personal savings or self-finance available through informal sources like money-lenders. However, many of the credit related problems has already been resolved by the ministry of MSME by offering lucrative policies and schemes to this sector. Banking Sector has also given a fillip to this sector by providing the credit on ease terms. A businessman cannot do without banks. The attitude of bankers towards their customer's influences what they do and how they grow their businesses. It is the Banker who helps the entrepreneur since the recogntion of need up to its fulfillment. Hence, Bankers attitude carries higher weightage in accesibility to finance. This paper aims to examine the impact of Bankers attitude on Financial Accessibility of Micro and Small Firms. For this purpose, primary data has been collected through structured questionnaire from a sample of 523 firms. Pages: 301-305

Pages: 297-300 Sunita Mehla and Suman Ghalawat (Department of Business Management, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana) Organic foods are basically natural food which are ecologically safe and produced with environmentally harmless processes. These foods do not contain man made inputs like pesticides, chemical fertilizers, genetically modified organisms and are not processed by means of irradiation, industrial solvents or chemical food additives. The study focused to study the demographic profile of respondents and to identify the reasons for buying organic product. In this paper descriptive analysis has been used to achieve the objective of the study. In the study, primary data has been collected with the help of semi-structured questionnaire from 200 respondents from Hisar district of Haryana. Respondents have a relatively equal proportion of males (58 %) and females (42 %). Majority of the respondents (58%) were married. Respondents are young and dynamic. Majority belongs to service and students mix. Moreover, most of the respondents were from middle income group. Majority of the respondents purchase organic product online, followed by retail shops. As we can see our respondents are youth and generally preferred online shopping. Respondents prefer to buy food/drink (40%), followed by cosmetics (35%) and clothes (25%). Regarding the reason for buying organic product, majority of the respondents preferred organic product because of the quality of organic product (64%), followed by health concern (19%), and prefer the taste/texture/feeling (17%). Youth is more concern about their health and ready to pay high price for the quality product. Pages: 297-300

Pages: 292-296 Meenakshi and Gurmeet Singh (Department of Education & Community Services, Punjabi University, Patiala, Punjab) Education is the most important invention of mankind. It has transformed man from 'two legged animal' into human being. It is a process of human enlightenment and empowerment for the achievement of a better and higher quality of life. It is a never ending process of inner growth and development. Its period stretches from cradle to grave. Child enters the school, studies and achieve in studies, attains maturity in all most every sphere, leaves it and enters the college or university. During his stay in the school, the student is concerned about his academic achievement, his family, peer group and school, put different pressures upon him for excellent achievement. In all this affects his general mental status. There is no doubt that academic achievement is important. But it leads to academic anxiety and unhappiness of the individual. Than it can lead to many psychological problems to an individual. He/she may indulge in self injury or social destruction out of frustration or poor mental health. Hence there is a need to study the relationship between academic achievement and academic anxiety, academic achievement and happiness. Pages: 292-296

Pages: 286-291 Bijayalaxmi Panda (Regional Advocacy Officer- Advocacy, Fight Hunger Foundation/Action Against Hunger, Jaipur, Rajasthan) Abdul Halim (Communications Officer, Fight Hunger Foundation/Action Against Hunger, New Delhi) Mousumi Gupta (Department of Advocacy, Action Against Hunger/Fight Hunger Foundation, New Delhi) Arish Syed (Executive Director, Action Against Hunger/Fight Hunger Foundation, New Delhi) Children's experiences of poverty and vulnerability are multidimensional and differ from those of others. Around 170 million or 40% of children in India are vulnerable to or experiencing difficult circumstances (Udayan Care & UNICEF). Children undergo complex physical, psychological and intellectual development as they grow, and are also often more vulnerable to malnutrition, disease, abuse and exploitation (UNICEF). The Government of India recognises all the vulnerable children as “Children in difficult circumstances; characterised by their specific social, economic and geo-political situation”. In addition to providing a safe environment for these children, it is vital to ensure that all other children also remain protected. Child protection is integrally linked to every other right of the child, and failure to ensure children's right to protection adversely affects all other rights of the child (MWCD), and failure to protect children has serious consequences on the physical, mental, emotional and social development of a child. These development indicators are also directly linked to the nutritional intake of a child. Under-nutrition of children is a major public health problem and children under five years of age are more vulnerable than others. Children residing in Social Welfare Hostels/orphanages are more prone to malnutrition compared to children staying at home with their parents. This could lead to more morbidity among these children (Bhat & Bangera, 2017). Hence, a proper surveillance of their nutrition status is required to ensure optimum health and nutrition care. Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS) is based on the principles of 'protection of child rights' and 'best interests of the child' and aims to institutionalize services for emergency outreach, family and community based care, counselling and support. ICPS sensitizes functionaries in the system towards child protection and raise public awareness. It seeks to put in place both preventive and curative mechanisms for a child needing protection from exploitation, harassment, health hazards etc. The model adopts Government-Civil Society partnership to ensure child protection and create a safe and healthy environment for the children of India. It was found that due to lack of regular supervision and commitment to implement and monitor standards of child care institutions, lack of maintaining standard care (food, accommodation, sanitation, leisure) in all institutions due to lower funding, staff etc, children do not get adequate food and nutrition, environment for the development of health both physically and psychologically (NIPCCD, 2011; NIPCCD, 2001; MWCD, 2007; IRMED, 2009-10). Though ICPS is a flagship child protection scheme for the development of health and nutrition of children through institutional settings in India where large numbers of children live, hardly any study was found to focus on budget to maintain their health and nutritional needs. Even disaggregated data is also not available about the number of children of different age groups who are staying in institutions due to their vulnerabilities and number of children homes that are running in India. So it is difficult to calculate the amount provided for food and nutrition to normal and sick children. Pages: 286-291

Pages: 280-282 Jatesh Kathpalia, Rashmi Tyagi, and Vinod Kumari (Department of Sociology, CCS HAU, Hisar, Haryana) Direct seeded rice (DSR), most likely older method of crop establishment, is gaining popularity because of its low-input demand. It offers certain advantages i.e. it saves labour, requires less water, less drudgery, early crop maturity, low production cost, better soil physical conditions for following crops and less methane emission, provides better option to be the best fit in different cropping systems. Comparative yields in DSR can be obtained by adopting various cultural practices like, selection of suitable cultivars, proper sowing time, optimum seed rate, proper weed and water management. It can also be stated that soil problems related to rice and following crops can be solved with direct seeding. There are several constraints associated with shift from PTR to DSR, such as high weed infestation, evolution of weedy rice, increase in soil borne pathogens, nutrient disorders, poor crop establishment, lodging, incidence of blast, brown leaf spot etc. By overcoming these constraints DSR can prove to be a very promising, technically and economically feasible alternative to PTR. The contextual matrix and constraints associated with adoption of DSR are discussed in this paper. The study was conducted in Kurukshetra district of Haryana state. From this district, two blocks namely Thanesar and Pehowa were selected randomly. The data presented that constraints regarding input and marketing perceived by respondents was high cost of seed and 'lack of marketing facilities in village' ranked first constraint, respectively.

Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryna) Parental functioning is influenced by a variety of forces, yet the personal resources of parents have the greatest potential for buffering the parenting system. Factors related to the parents are most central to parenting competence, often mediating associations between broader social variables and variation in parenting styles. In the present study, focus was mainly on three parental variables i.e., temperamental qualities, malaise and emotional intelligence. The study was undertaken in purposively selected Hisar city, of Haryana State. A total of 120 two-children families were selected randomly equally representing the two SES groups i.e., upper-middle (60) and lower-middle (60). Regarding temperamental qualities out of the total sample of fathers, nearly 17% were identified as having extraversion temperament and another 10 per cent had neuroticism temperament profile. In case of mothers nearly 20 and 17 per cent were categorized into extraversion and neuroticism temperament profile. Further, majority of mothers and fathers possessed normal level of emotional intelligence and upper -middle SES mothers and fathers were slightly better in emotional intelligence than their counterparts. Regarding comparative status on malaise of parents, non-significant differences between mothers and fathers were depicted in overall sample and within two SES groups. However, on the basis of mean scores it can be interpreted that fathers scored slightly higher on malaise than mothers showing that fathers were more at risk of illness (psychological or physiological).

Factors influencing overall satisfaction with the services of online shopping among college students Pages: 269-275 Suman Ghalawat and Amita Girdhar (Department of Business Management, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana) Akhil Sangwan (ADO, Analyst Quality Control Lab, Hisar, Haryana) Sunita Mehla (Department of Business Management, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana) Online shopping is an innovative and emerging market for youth. Online shopping provides college students with a large variety of products from which he can make comparative analysis and pick the best out of it. The study focused to determine the relationship of online shopping variables with factors influencing overall satisfaction among students. In the present scenario, college students are mostly doing online shopping. In this paper factor analysis and ANOVA has been used to achieve the objective of the study. In the study, primary data has been collected with the help of semi-structured questionnaire from 200 college students from Hisar district of Haryana. Factor analysis discloses six factors namely threat to a system, customer care, information sharing, online shopping advertising and lastly online schemes. ANOVA analysis discloses that preferred payment method, amount of money spent for online shopping on items and reasons for online payment has significant relationship with threat to system and information sharing. On the other hand, amount of money spent for online shopping on items has significant relationship with customer care, whereas reason for online payment has significant relationship with awareness.

Pages: 266-268 Nootan Katara, Shanti Balda, and Santosh Sangwan (Department of Human Development and Family Studies, I.C. Collage of Home Science, CCS HAU, Hisar, Haryana) The present study was conducted in Hisar city of Haryana state and Udaipur city of Rajasthan state. From Hisar and Udaipur cities, two schools, one affiliated to CBSE and one affiliated to state education board, were selected at random. From each school 60 students including 30 boys and 30 girls in the age group of 13-16 years were selected randomly. So, the total sample constituted of 240 students, 120 from Hisar city and 120 from Udaipur city equally representing male and female respondents. Parental encouragement was assessed by using Parental Encouragement Scale by Sharma (1997). Educational aspiration was assessed by Educational Aspiration scale by Sharma and Gupta (2015). The results elucidated that there were significant positive correlation between parental encouragement and educational aspirations of children. Children with low educational aspirations received low level of parental encouragement; while children with high educational aspirations received high level of parental encouragement. The regression results confirmed that parental encouragement was strong predictor of educational aspiration of high school children. Pages: 266-268

Pages: 261-265 T. R. Sridevi Krishnaveni and R. Arunachalam (Department of Agricultural Extension and Rural Sociology, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu) A scale measuring the degree of affect of the students towards the agricultural education system was developed. Sixty five possible, scrutinized statements were examined to assess their degree of favorability using a five point continuum with respect to their capacity to measure the attitude of the respondents towards agricultural education system. The S- value and Q- value of each statement were found. Equal appearing interval method was used for developing the scale. The statements were selected and the validity and reliability of the scale was tested. The scale developed consists of both positive (6) and negative (4) statements. Thus, the final scale was developed which could measure the students' level of attitude towards agricultural education system. This study was implemented among 114 number of final year B. Sc. (Agriculture) students of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, to assess their level of attitude towards the present agricultural education system. The results showed that most of the students were found distributed between medium to high level of attitude. Pages: 261-265
