This study was based on the primary household data collected to determine the impact of Cluster Promotion Programme (CPP) introduced to augment the production of bivoltine silk in India by Central Silk Board in coordination with state sericulture departments. Many technological interventions were made at individual and at community levels to increase the knowledge and adoption of new sericulture technologies. Studies in ten clusters attempted to address the impact of scheme on knowledge and adoption of new technologies and also on socio economic status of women sericulture farmers in Karnataka. Paired t-test was used to find out the impact of CPP on the beneficiaries before and after adopting the technological intervention. The findings this study indicated that the implementation of CPP has led to increased mulberry leaf production, dfls consumption, cocoon yield, cocoon price and income. Similarly, they found to have greater access to extension personnel (50.64%), extension communication activities (53.95%) and training (40%). Access to community intervention increased from 20 to 33%, credit increased to tune of 48.53% and self help group by 78.57%. Thus, implementation of CPP had increased knowledge and adoption of new technologies as well as socio economic status of women farmers. It may also be stated that the scheme was brought in a paradigm shift in the silkworm rearing in rural Karnataka. The sustained Bivoltine Silk Production depends to a large extent on transfer of new technologies at individual and community levels in a project mode with extensive planning and execution with greater involvement of the farmers in general and women farmers in particular in all stages.

Manpower Shortage

The current manpower shortage has greatly influenced recruitment to the nursing profession. A related issue is the movement of student and qualified nurses out of the profession. Various problem areas have been identified and to improve recruitment it is imperative that: — recruitment methods be improved; — staffing policy be changed so that the student nurse is not regarded mainly as a worker; — that the status of clinical nursing, especially the status of the ward sister, be reinstated; — that more guidance and support be provided for student nurses; — that the socio-economic status of the nurse receive urgent attention. Furthermore, every nurse has an important role in recruitment and in building the image of nursing by always projecting a positive attitude towards her profession.

This chapter continues a focus on the Christian Bible with examination of ‘The Entrepreneurial Widows of 1 Timothy’. It argues that the exhortations and admonitions to widows (i.e. unmarried women) voiced in 1 Timothy—identified as a highly rhetorical pseudonymous letter written in Paul’s name—attests to a concern with single women’s patronage of Christ assemblies, which the writer seeks to address by having them marry. The contributor seeks to move beyond a common explanation that the letter was occasioned by ascetical teachings in which women discovered in sexual continence a new freedom from traditional gender roles. The chapter aims to establish that the letter has a broader economic concern with widows, through an historical exploration of the socio-economic status of women who were artisans in the imperial urban economy. It identifies the means by which women gained skill in trades, the roles they played in the ‘adaptive family’ in which households of tradespeople plied their trade often at economic levels of subsistence. New Testament texts point to artisan women, some of them probably widows, who played important roles of patronage and leadership in assemblies of Christ followers. By attending to levels of poverty in the urban empire, traditional views of the widows of 1 Timothy as wealthier women assigned to gender roles are seen in a new light through consideration of spouses accustomed to working alongside their husbands and taking on the businesses after they died. While the lives of these women are largely invisible, attention to benefactions of wealthy women to synagogues and associations gives insight into the lives of women acting independently in various kinds of social gatherings.
