A field study was conducted in Ghaziabad District to observe the effect of mineral mixture feeding on milk yield in Buffalo. Animals were selected randomly from 5 villages of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh viz. Muradnagar, Noorpur, Kanoja, Kusalia, and Badka. 20 Buffaloes were selected in their 2nd and 3rd stage of lactation and divided into two groups of 10 animals each. First group (T) was fed with 60 gm mineral mixture daily till 90 days of lactation. Other groups (C) of 10 animals were not fed additional mineral mixture, which is farmers practice in that particular area. The farmers were not fed scientific method of feeding. They could not added proper quantity of mineral mixture in balance ration. To keeping in mind a trial was conducted in Ghaziabad District since 2016-17 to 2017-18. Milk yield of these animals was recorded by their owners and these values were averaged for fortnightly interval. Milk production parameters like average daily milk yield, peak yield and total milk yield were compared between treatment and control groups. It was observed that average daily milk yield, peak yield and total milk yield were found significantly (P less than 0.05) higher by 11.04, 12.37 and 11.61% in mineral mixture fed group than control group. On the basis of this, it is recommended that continuous feeding of mineral mixture bettered performance of milk yield in buffaloes.

In north India in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries several great landed estates played a crucial part in the consolidation of imperial rule and in the support of the social and economic order. These estates have attracted considerable scholarly attention, but previous research has concentrated primarily on their relations with the colonial administraton and on their general intermediary role in north Indian society. The only study directly concerned with their internal affairs is Dr. P. J. Musgrave's ‘Landlords and Lords of the Land: Estate Management and Social Control in Uttar Pradesh 1860–1920’ (Modern Asian Studies, 6, 3 (1972), pp. 257–75), in which official sources are used as the basis for an account of the internal operations of the great estates in the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh. Hitherto the major obstacle to the examination of the administration of the great estates has been the absence of comprehensive estate records. Fortunately the extensive and well-organized archives of the Raj Darbhanga of Bihar recently have been opened to scholars. In this paper the Raj archives have been drawn upon to provide evidence for an account of the structure and operation of the administration of the Raj Darbhanga during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The paper argues that despite substantial difficulties the Raj Darbhanga effectively pursued its interests by means of a bureaucratic system of management and that therefore Dr Musgrave's conclusions concerning the limited power of the great landed estates need substantial qualification and correction.

Background: In placental cord drainage facilitates placental delivery in both vaginal and caesarean section deliveries. The present study was done to evaluate the effect and safety of placental blood drainage as a part of active management of third stage of labour to reduce the duration and blood loss during third stage of labour.Methods: The study was conducted in department of Obstetrics and, SN Medical College, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India on 400 term pregnant women, with single live intrauterine fetus in cephalic presentation, without any complication. They were randomly divided into to study and control group. Study group: It comprised of 200 Gynaecology cases, underwent active management of third stage of labour with placental blood drainage. Control group: It comprised of 200 cases, underwent active management of third stage of labour (AMTSL) alone. Duration and blood loss during third stage were noted.Results: The mean duration of third stage of labour was 3.61±0.972mins in study group and 8.15±1.711mins in control group. The mean blood loss during third stage of labour was 168.14±76.703ml and 287.40±85.808ml in study and control group respectively.Conclusions: Duration of third stage, blood loss during third stage, and hemoglobin deference between pre and post-delivery were reduced significantly in study group than control group.

BACKGROUND Vision Centre (VC) is a significant eyecare service model to strengthen primary eye care services. VCs have been set-up at block level covering a population of 150,000-250,000 in rural areas in North India. Inadequate utilization by rural communities is a major challenge to sustainability of these VCs. This not only reduces the community’s vision improvement potential but also impacts self-sustainability and limits expansion of services in rural areas. Current literature reports lack of awareness regarding eye diseases and the need for care, social stigmas, low priority being given to eye problems, prevailing gender discrimination, cost, and dependence on caregivers as factors preventing utilization of primary eyecare. OBJECTIVE To address this, our organization is planning an awareness cum engagement intervention – door-to-door basic eye check-up and visual acuity screening in VC’s coverage areas, to connect with the community and improve rational utilization of the VCs. METHODS The study is a randomized parallel group experimental study, in which we will select 2 VCs each for intervention arm and control arm, among poor low performing VCs i.e., walk-in of ≤10 patients/day, from our two operational regions (Vrindavan, Mathura District and Mohammadi, Kheri District) of Uttar Pradesh. Intervention will include door to door screening and awareness generation in 8-12 villages surrounding VC, and control VC will follow existing practices of awareness generation through community activities and health talks. Data collected from each VCs for four months of intervention, primary outcome being utilization of VCs would include, number of walk-in patients, spectacle advised and uptake, referral and uptake for cataract and specialty surgery and operational expenses. Secondary outcomes would be uptake of refraction correction and referrals for cataract and other eye conditions. Differences in the number of walk-in patients, referrals, uptake of services and cost involved would be analyzed. RESULTS Participant recruitment in progress. CONCLUSIONS Through this study, we would analyze if of our door-to-door intervention is effective in increasing the number of visits at VC and the thus, the overall sustainability. We would also study the cost-effectiveness of this intervention to recommend it’s scalability. CLINICALTRIAL This protocol has been retrospectively registered as a clinical trial (NCT04800718) on 15th March 2021 at the ClinicalTrials.gov registry. Participant recruitment is still in progress. https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04800718?term=NCT04800718&recrs=ab&draw=2&rank=1

The problem of controlling and taxing the countryside is one which has remained with all governments in Asia, or indeed in the whole developing world, up to 1972. Government has inevitably tended to be essentially urban-based, centred on military power-bases, whether they be ‘Pacified Areas’, towns or mud forts, backed by military power normally concentrated in these centres. Outside the towns, however, lived the great mass of the population, and the great mass of the potentially taxable wealth, and it is upon its ability to control the rural areas that the credibility and survival of any régime must ultimately depend. It is perhaps an indication of our preoccupations with the problems of pacification and control in Asian societies that increasing interest is being shown in the patterns of rural control, in systems of traditional deference, which are usually seen as surviving much longer and much more strongly in the countryside than in the towns, and in problems of income distribution through social structures based on land. In such a situation, then, the role of the ‘estates’—of traditional and institutionalized systems of dependence and of control, of systems which were commonly used and hence studied by governments—is one which demands to be considered.

The aim of the present study was to determine the glucose-6-phostphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in scheduled caste (SC) population of eastern Uttar Pradesh, India. After taking clearance certificate from the Institutional Ethics Committee, blood samples were collected from total 200 healthy individuals belonging to scheduled caste. G6PD deficiency analysis was done by methemoglobin test according to the method of Brewer et al. (1962). Out of 200 samples, 20 individuals were glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient and 22 samples were heterozygous that is, carriers. The percentage of G6PD deficient (Gd+/+) and G6PD carrier (Gd+/Gd−) phenotypes were 10% and 11%, respectively. The frequency of mutant allele (Gd−) was observed 0.172. Early detection and prevention is the key strategy for successful management and control of this genetic disease.

Abstract This article deals with an 1849 semi-autobiographical manuscript, ‘Ishqnama, from Avadh (present-day Uttar Pradesh), to explore the courtly politics of the last nawab (ruler) of Avadh, Wajid ‘Ali Shah. I argue that, in the ‘Ishqnama, a language of love and sex exists and portends a logic of political comportment and control between ruler and lover, ruler and servant. After surveying the importance and meaning of the manuscript during Wajid ‘Ali Shah's reign, I examine the dissemination of the handwritten manuscript via lithograph copies, tracing the specific textual and visual elements that have been obfuscated and manipulated in the transition from a handwritten design to print technology. I argue that the political content of the ‘Ishqnama has been neglected because of the material differences between the lithograph copies and the manuscript format and because of the sexual nature of the ‘Ishqnama narrative.
