Sacred Groves are the places of Natural vegetation being protected by the people with a firm belief on Nature and God. The tradition of worshipping nature, trees is a practise all over the world. This made them rich with flora and biological wealth. The groves are beneficial to mankind as they had medicinal, economical, agricultural and edible plants. The present groves are Parammakonda, Jayathi, Nareduvalasa and Konada. Ethnobotanical uses of 103 species belonging to 95 genera and 53 families used by  the tribal Kondadora, fishermen and other people  are identified and the local name, scientific name, family, habit and uses are documented during the study. Maximum species belong to Euphorbiaceae (8) and Fabaceae (8). The tribal people are using more plant species for treating skin diseases. The leaf part is profusely used followed by stem, root and fruit, trees are used mostly for the herbal medicine. Many plant species which are endemic, endangered and rare are also preserved in the groves. They are the repositories of genetic diversity and play an impotant role in cleaning environment. They play multifunctional role in local communities, thus there is an urgent need to conserve them and to protect the biodiversity.

Skin diseases are getting more common than any other disease in the world. Due to lack of personal care and different environmental factors many of the people are suffering from skin diseases. It may have caused because of infection, allergy, bacteria or viruses, etc. Not every patient has the facility to go to the doctor for primary consultation based on the financial issues. To overcome this problem we developed an android application which helps the patients in diagnosing the disease easily at home. There are several methods or algorithms in machine learning to make this process easier. We proposed an approach to skin disease prediction using MobileNet model which is a part of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). In total there are six diseases namely acne, actinic, psoriasis, tinea ringworm, eczema and seborrhoea. Our model is pre-trained by feeding thousands of images also including images which are not diseased and also which do not comes under skin. Our approach is simple, fast and inexpensive and does not require huge equipment for the diagnosis. It is found that MobileNet model gives best accuracy.

Fruits and vegetables account for nearly 90 per cent of total horticulture production in the country. The production of fruits and vegetables during the current year is estimated to be 314.5 million tonnes (mt), about 1 per cent more than what the country produced in 2017-18, the first advance estimates of horticulture production released by the government of India. The area under horticulture crop also rose to 25.6 million hectare from 25.43 million hectare. Hectare crop year in India is from July-June. India is producer of fruits and vegetables in the world and is the leader in several horticultural crops, namely Mango, Banana, Papaya, Cashewnut, Recant, Potato and Okra. However the nature of horticulture crops being such it’s not easy to make assessment of their production. These crops, especially vegetables are grown in small plots, fields or in the courtyard of the houses, do not have single collecting in most of the cases which makes their valuation demanding. Various horticulture harvests have multiple proceeds in a single season. Correspondingly many fruit trees are speckled, which do not count for taxation. The need for diversification to horticulture sector was acknowledged by the Government of India in mid-eighties by focussing its attention on investment in this sector. Currently horticulture has recognized its credibility in cultivating income through increased productivity, generating occupation and in enhancing exports. Resultantly, horticulture has moved from rural confines to profitable venture. However, efficient employment of programme and policies call for strong information in time. In this backdrop, this book presents the overall information on horticulture focussing area, production and yield estimates apart from the information about crops price, market arrivals and export. The situation of horticulture crops in India has become very encouraging. Production: India has witnessed increase in horticulture production over the last few years. Important progress has been made in area development resulting in higher production. Over the last decade, the area under horticulture grew by 2.6 per cent per annum and annual production increased by 4.8per cent. During 2017-18, the production of horticulture crops was 311.71 Million Tonnes from an area of 25.43 Million Hectares. The production of vegetables has increased from 101.2 Million Tonnes to 184.40 Million Tonnes since 2004-05 to 2017-18 and production of fruits has increased from 50.9 Million Tonnes to 97.35 Million.

This study deals with Universal Values and Muslim Democracy. This essay draws upon speeches that he gave at the New York Democ- racy Forum in December 2005 and the Assembly of the World Movement for Democracy in Istanbul in April 2006. The emergence of Muslim democracies is something significant and worthy of our attention. Yet with the clear exceptions of Indonesia and Turkey, the Muslim world today is a place where autocracies and dictatorships of various shades and degrees continue their parasitic hold on the people, gnawing away at their newfound freedoms. It concludes that the human desire to be free and to lead a dignified life is universal. So is the abhorrence of despotism and oppression. These are passions that motivate not only Muslims but people from all civilizations.

Wavelet Techniques

One of the most common and augmenting health problems in the world are related to skin. The most  unpredictable and one of the most difficult entities to automatically detect and evaluate is the human skin disease because of complexities of texture, tone, presence of hair and other distinctive features. Many cases of skin diseases in the world have triggered a need to develop an effective automated screening method for detection and diagnosis of the area of disease. Therefore the objective of this work is to develop a new technique for automated detection and analysis of the skin disease images based on color and texture information for skin disease screening. In this paper, system is proposed which detects the skin diseases using Wavelet Techniques and Artificial Neural Network. This paper presents a wavelet-based texture analysis method for classification of five types of skin diseases. The method applies tree-structured wavelet transform on different color channels of red, green and blue dermoscopy images, and employs various statistical measures and ratios on wavelet coefficients. In all 99 unique features are extracted from the image. By using Artificial Neural Network, the system successfully detects different types of dermatological skin diseases. It consists of mainly three phases image processing, training phase, detection  and classification phase.
