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.

Pages: 276-279 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).

Pages: 266-268 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: 261-265 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: 261-265T. R. Sridevi Krishnaveni and R.

Pages: 253-257 The central objective of current research is to compare and contrast the level or intensity of financial inclusion in different provinces of India. For the purpose of the study, all India has been classified into six provinces such as, northern states, north eastern areas, eastern areas, central area which include Madhya Pradesh, western states, and southern province. The base of the study was secondary data related to the numerous variables which shows the level of financial inclusion. All the data has been extracted from the official website RBI which is called banker's bank. Mainly two major parameters have been considered in the study for evaluation of the intensity of the financial inclusion. These parameters or variables are namely; Access of financial services and the level of Usage of financial services. Here, the access has been evaluated in terms of, number of bank offices and the employees of the banks, while the usage has been evaluated in terms of, number of credit accounts or loan accounts and deposit accounts in the banks. Further, a financial inclusion index was developed by researchers in terms of credit and deposit accounts per bank office and per bank employee in a particular region. The study exposed that in India financial inclusion is highest in southern province and lowest in north eastern province.

Pages: 249-252 In this study fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds of variety HM-57 were dried in solar regenerated desiccant seed dryer. In this dryer, seeds can be dried in deep bed at a safe temperature for good shelf-life, germination and vigour index. The dryer has following significance over common methods of drying, generally vegetable seeds are dried in shade, which has very low drying rate and can be harmful to the seeds. Under natural drying conditions, micro organisms may develop, as moisture takes longer to be removed. Also in natural drying seeds holds moisture for longer period than advisable, due to this there is acceleration in respiration rate which causes a CO2 release and water vapour and causes a significant decrease in physiological quality of seeds. The dryer has two chambers i.e. air conditioning chamber and seed drying chamber. It operates in seed drying and desiccant regeneration mode. Moisture removal from drying air has been done using silica gel desiccant. Fenugreek were dried with hot and dehumidified air at five different drying air temperatures i.e. 38, 40, 42, 44 and 46o C and at five different air flow rates i.e., 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 m3/min.. Germination percentage of fenugreek seeds varied from 78 - 67% as temperature varied between 38-46o C, and vigour index varied from 1349.4 - 911.2. After this study, dryer was found to be better alternative for drying high priced vegetable seeds.

Pages: 242-248 Current study was based on the secondary data in order to compare the gross value addition by different sectors of the Indian economy namely; Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing, Industry, Mining and Quarrying, Manufacturing, Electricity, Gas, Water Supply and Other Utility, Services, Construction, Hotels, transport, communication and services related to broadcasting, Financial, Real Estate and Professional Services, and Public Administration, Defence and Other Services. Researcher also aims to measure the trend or growth of the gross value addition of these sectors during the year 2011- 18. Data has been taken from the annual publication of the RBI related to the Indian economy for the above mentioned period. Trend or growth in the share of different sectors to the total gross value added of Indian economy, has been shown using graphs while the comparative study of Gross value addition by different sectors of Indian economy has been done using descriptive statistics and the One-way ANOVA test. Further, researcher has done post-hoc analysis using Turkey's test to highlight the particular groups of variables where the mean values were found to be significantly different if any. Welch test has been used to measure the equality of means. It was found that overall there is a growth in the gross value addition of the Indian economy during the year 2011-12 to 2017-18. All the sectors are showing growth in their share in the gross value addition of Indian economy, except for construction, Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing and Electricity, Gas, Water Supply and Other Utility sector. While, in Mining and Quarrying sector have shown consistency in the gross value addition during the period 2011-12 to 2017-18. The highest percentage of gross value addition was found to be of Services sector and lowest percentage of Gross value addition was found of Electricity, Gas, and Water Supply and Other Utility sector. This shows that service sectors are contributing highly towards the gross value addition of the Indian economy while Electricity, Gas, Water Supply and Other Utility sector is contributing lowest to the gross value addition of Indian economy. Further, the study showed the significant difference in the gross value addition of different sectors of Indian economy.

Pages: 233-235 The present study was conducted to examine socio-economic status as a predictor of educational aspirations among adolescents. The sample constituted of 240 students, 120 from Hisar city and 120 from Udaipur city in the age group of 13-16 years. Of these 240 adolescents, 120 were male and 120 were female. Self-prepared interview schedule was used to collect information on socio-economic variables. Educational aspirations were assessed with the help of Educational Aspiration Scale (form-p) by Sharma and Gupta (2015). Correlational and regression analyses were used to analyze the data. Majority of adolescents belonged to small sized families; about equal percentage of fathers had education up to high school, senior secondary school and graduation level. About one fifth of mothers were illiterate. About forty one per cent fathers were in service and majority of mothers were home makers. Correlational analysis revealed that there were significant and positive correlations between parental education, family income and educational aspirations of adolescents, while negative correlation existed between family size and educational aspirations. Linear regression revealed that maternal education and family income were positive predictors of educational aspirations, while family size negatively affected educational aspirations. As assumed, collectively, socio economic variables were strong predictors of educational aspirations of adolescents and accounted for 30.3 per cent variance in educational aspirations.
