Artificial water supply to the crops to meet the soil moisture deficit is a key factor to increase the cropping intensity and to transform the existing cropping pattern. In fact, irrigation not only accelerates the number of crops in a field but also replaces the rain fed subsistence crops to water intensive commercial crops. Double cropping or cultivation of same piece of land e than once in an agricultural year was almost impossible before the introduction of canal irrigation in arid and semi-arid tracts of IGC Command Area. Principal rainfed crops like bajra, guar and gram are largely replaced by cotton, wheat and groundnut. |

Constitution of India provides equal status to both women and men, it provides special provisions to empower females because of their secondary status in society. They are discriminated against in all walks of life, it is assumed that women are inferior and they have no such talent which is required in decision-making in every field, but this is not a reality. Women and men both are born with the same talent but women are considered inferior in society. Their participation is very significant in decision making process not only for their empowerment but also to make democratic governance efficacious. To empower women 73rd Constitutional Amendment was passed in 1992, which provides 33% reservation to women at grass root level. This Amendment was a historic step in the path of women empowerment, it gives them opportunity to influence decision-making process. Women's access into PRIs has pushed them into decision-making process both as member as well as heads of panchayats in a vastmanner by this act. This has changed their lives in a tremendous manner, they have changed from a “household women” to "political women”. A huge number of women have come forward to actively participate at grass root level in decision making process. Before this their picture was limited only 2 to 3 percent. Women have empowered by Panchayati Raj Institutions but still they have to cover a long path of their journey to achieve the goal of empowerment in actual sense.

Negative stereotypes and stigmatizing attitudes against mentally ill persons have powerful historical roots in many cultures. The common perception of these persons, who are unable to defend their rights, is that they are dangerous, violent and unpredictable (Arboreda-Florez & Sartorius, 2008). The present study aimed to find out attitudes towards mental illness among tribal and non-tribal population: a comparative study paper presents a preliminary investigation regarding the public perceptions and attitudes about mental illness using an adapted version of the Opinions about Mental Illness Scale (Cohen & Struening, 1962). The participants were 200 (100 tribal participants with having mental ill patient & 100 non tribal participants with having mental ill patient) and the following five attitudinal dimensions were investigated: Authoritarianism (the opinion that people with a mental illness cannot be held accountable for their acts & they should be controlled by society), benevolence (an attitude that could be placed between tolerance & pity/compassion), mental hygiene ideology (the opinion that mental illness is similar to other illnesses & it should be treated adequately by specialists), social restrictiveness (the opinion that mentally ill persons should be restricted in some social domains), and interpersonal a etiology (the belief that the real cause of a mental illness are the problematic interpersonal relations). Majority of the participants were from rural, of whom 166 (83%) were male and 34 (17%) were female with regards to OMI scale the item, viz ., 'the law should a women to divorce her husband as soon as he has been confined in mental hospital with severe mental illness' both the groups tribal with patient 52% and 56% non tribal with patient were neutral (significant at 0.024, p<0.05). Overall no significant level of difference revealed among tribal with patient and non tribal with patient with regards to attitude towards mental illness. Knowledge of mental illness among the general public was quite poor and suggests the need for strong emphasis on public education to increase mental health literacy among general public to increase awareness and positive attitude of people towards mental illness. |

In some cases the source of writing may leads to the identification of offender. Hence our criminal justice system should have the knowledge about the technology of forensic hand writing examination. As of this reason the evidence collecting authority whether it police or court should collect the proper and suitable standards. In this simple research study the examiner collect the number of files which have no proper standards available for the hand writing analysis and find the percentage of same.

Models of psychopathology recognize that automatic behavior without conscious attention to behavior (mindlessness) is associated with intrusive and ruminative thoughts about past or future events, leading to distressed states of mind, passivity, and the repetition of habitual coping patterns that ultimately leads into emotional dysregulation. So, mindfulness based intervention can plays an important role on emotion regulation. Aim of the present study was to examine the application of Mindfulness based intervention on emotional regulation among individual with alcohol dependence syndrome. To carry out this study, fourteen individuals diagnosed with ADS were taken from inpatient services of RINPAS, Kanke, Ranchi. Amongst these, seven individuals were randomly distributed in experimental group (MBRPT group) and Treatment as usual group (TAU group). Amongst the fourteen patients, seven patients were the part of TAU group and they received treatment as usual only. Other seven patients, forming of MBRPT group were provided with the Mindfulness based relapse prevention therapy program. Nature of the sample was purposive sampling. Socio-Demographic and Clinical Data Sheet was used to obtain information about age, gender, education, duration of illness, symptoms, dependency pattern, and treatment history etc. Outcome variables were measures by two scales i.e. Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, and The Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale. Participants meeting inclusion criteria for the study were assessed by tools for pre-assessment. Therapeutic program consisted of approximately 16 sessions or as per as requirement. Outcome variables were emotion regulation, readiness for motivational change. The findings furnished evidence for the mediating mechanisms through which the relapse can be avoided by using higher emotional regulatory capabilities and tolerance of distressful emotional environment. Present study suggests that MBRPT leads to significant improvement in the acceptance of distressful emotions, less emotional involvement in engaging goal directed activities, intellectual awareness of ones emotions, positive over conventional patterns which stimulate accessibility of emotional coping strategies and readiness to change the current habit pattern. |

Ethics are the backbone of any civic society even play a significant role in the progress. It is well known fact that the ethics have the power to create the holistic environment. However, it is a great paradox, we generally talk about the ethics but practically things are totally different. Ethics are not meant only for civic society, whereas these are applicable everywhere. Research and academic societies are also not untouched. However, in research and academic activities, infringement and breaching of ethics have been noticed. In fact, the concerned try to manipulate the things for their personal benefits. Consequently, things are marching towards wrong direction and thereby unethical things and contents cannot sustain in the national and international market. Therefore, these must be followed identically. The present study will try to find out the level of ethical behavior among the scholars and academicians. Further, the study will elicit the facts which will really help to improve the ethical practices. |

Impulsivity does not seem to be a direct risk for aggression, but only indirectly. Perhaps, it presents an obstacle to learning in the early developmental years, and the legacy of poor problem-solving is what later contributes to aggression. Research has shown that being young and reporting elevated levels of aggression and impulsivity is strongly associated with the frequency of aggressive acts in all groups (Smith & Waterman, 2006). The present paper reviews the interrelation between aggression and impulsivity and aggression. |
