Self-actualization is realizing your inherent potential, in recent days the importance of this concept is gaining attention among the researchers. Self -actualization has its own impact on the organizational behavior of employees and the behavior of self- actualized is proven better than those who are not self-actualized. Already several researches have done to find the prominence of self-actualization on employee satisfaction and performance, but the research is limited in the area of academicians. This paper is attempted to find the demographic priorities of academicians of Tamil Nadu universities on self- actualization. Descriptive research design was followed in this study. To support the objective the researcher collected 178 samples by using purposive stratified random sampling technique. With the help of ANOVA, and Independent sample t test were used to find the results. The researcher found the demographic factors has significant and positive influence in determining the self- actualization level of academic leaders of Tamil Nadu universities.

A study was carried out in Tamil Nadu to examine the extent of yield gap in seed cotton. The study used data from 180 farmers in the State. The purpose of the study was to implement a framework that measures the relative yield of seed cotton produced in the study area. A multiple regression model was used to analyse the determinants of yield gap and the results showed that potash gap had a statistically significant but negative effect on yield while nitrogen had a statistically significant and positive effect. Total yield gap in Bt cotton (1658 kg/ha) was significantly higher than that of conventional cotton (594 kg/ha). Thus, there was considerable scope for improvement in the use of Bt technology since the farmers were yet to fully harness the proposed benefits of this genetically modified crop. Further analysis showed that the yield gap in various districts of the state were significantly different. It was inferred from the results that increased application of nitrogen increased yield but increased usage of potash had diminishing effects, while the applying of more labour and insecticides increased yield. It is suggested that there should be intensified effort on the sensitization of farmers about the detrimental effects of using inputs in excess.

Exporters choose to export, for the foreign market through exporters participating in the foreign markets directly and also positively react to price signals in the domestic markets explicitly. When there is an increasing demand for commodities in the world market, exporter would receive higher prices. The specific objective of the study is; to identify factors affecting the export participation and performance of agricultural commodities exporters of Tamil Nadu. The results clearly indicated that among the independent variables, foreign market price and distribution of commodities by the ith firm have significantly and positively influenced the State level of export participation of the exporters. On the contrary, domestic market price, the quantity produced for the domestic market, quantity produced for the foreign market and the cost of export commodities have influenced the export participation negatively. The firms would produce positive quantities for the domestic market, but, in practice, some firms would produce for zero exports. Significant and negative nonlinear results were also found for Domestic market price, Quantity produced for the domestic market, Quantity produced for the foreign market and the cost of export commodities in this study.
