Productive Method

In India, the land of farmers, where agriculture has always been the primary occupation of the people, more than 50% of the population is still engaged in agriculture and its allied sectors. However, over the years, a significant decline has been observed in the contribution by the agriculture sector towards India's GDP. This chapter aimed towards identifying the gap between the ratio of high inputs and low yields by portraying the various limitations in traditional Indian agriculture methods and how hydroponic agriculture is the need of the hour for the growth of Indian agriculture. Hydroponic agriculture or hydroponics, around the world, has proved to be an efficient and more productive method of agriculture than geoponics (i.e., the traditional agriculture practice carried out in the soil). Although bearing a large bouquet of advantages, there are some limitations associated with it as well. This chapter aimed at overcoming these limitations to enhance this novel approach of agriculture even further.

Probing Questions

This paper aims to present a novel approach to map analysis, treating all ‘map-like’ drawings as icono-texts, according to premises postulated in modern cartographical theory by Brian Harley and his successors in this field. It is not just ‘deconstructing’ which takes place, but further interpretations are stimulated by probing questions not only of authorship (often unknown), but also of the social, cultural, and religious environment. Making an allegorical map and text was a difficult task, an intellectual endeavor, which demanded that the author carefully choose the symbols that would outlive the material. In this paper, the Fool’s Cap Map of the World is presented as an example of icono-textual analysis, by bringing together the most popular literary works and their illustrations – Erasmus Desiderius, Sebastian Brandt, and Hieronymus Bosch. The double masks of the author – the pseudonym “Epichtonius Cosmopolites”, with its denunciation of nationality, and the jester’s costume, were chosen as the means of conveying unpleasant truths about the state of the world, France, and/or the Netherlands. Human hybris, Suberbia and Vanitas were the primal sins, by which they were all blinded, waging wars for pieces of land and worldly goods. Therefore, the fool’s malade is melancholy, strictly reserved for male intellectuals – Ficino, Dürer, Shakespeare, Bright and Burton. On the other hand, it would seem as if the female primal sin were vanity, which brings the puritan Bunyan and Anglican Thackeray into this polyphonic interpretation. Their works did, however, show that’'vanitas’ is present among both genders and is an everlasting human trait, now heavily exploited as a ’cash crop’ par excellence. Since all knowlegde is situated, I feel the need to say that I am finishing this paper in self-quarantine due to the ’new plague’ pandemic, wondering if the people in this mad and greedy world would contemplate how all is nothing, and whether the survivors would be better, i.e. more human, acting with more empathy, regardless of the perpetually announced Apocalypse. This remains to be witnessed.

The agriculture sector is regarded as the backbone of the Indian Economy. Nearly 70 percent of the people live in villages and their main occupation is agriculture. Agriculture is closely linked with animal husbandry and plays an important complementary role. The role of animal husbandry in providing the main and subsidiary occupation or the main occupation to the rural population is well recognized. Animal husbandry has secured an important place in Indian agriculture leading to dairy development in India. This study also includes the break-even output for cow and buffalo during lactation and inter-calving periods.

India is popularly known as the “Spice Bowl of the World” for production of variety of spices with superior quality. Turmeric is called as Indian saffron and it is one among the important commercial crop grown in India. India is the largest producer and consumer of turmeric in the world. India contributes about 78 per cent of the world production and a major supplier of turmeric to the world with more than 60 per cent share in turmeric trade. In the last three decades Indian agriculture witnessed so many policy and technological changes. In this context an attempt is made in this study to examine the growth and instability in turmeric production in terms of area, production and yield in selected states of India. The components of change in average production and change in variance of production were also computed and analyzed with the help of decomposition analysis. The growth and instability in turmeric production in India have been examined using secondary data for the period of 32 years, from 1979-80 to 2010-11. This study is confined to five major turmeric producing states in India viz., Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Karnataka and Kerala. These five states contributed 72 percent of area under turmeric and 82 per of total turmeric production of the country. It is found that all the selected states registered significant growth in area, production and yield of Turmeric, except in the case of area in Andhra Pradesh and Orissa, production in Andhra Pradesh,Karnataka and Orissa and yield in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Orissa and Kerala. It is also foundfrom the analysis that the instability in area was reduced in Andhra Pradesh, production instability was reduced in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, yield instability was reduced in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. It can be concluded from the above analysis that liberalization measures introduced in 1991 is a mixed bag and its impact on agriculture sector, particularly on Turmeric Cultivation would vary from state to state.

India is an agricultural country and a core source of income for the world population. Indian economy is greatly depending on agriculture that is decrease day by day due to pandemic COVID-19.  India is a major exporter of many crop foods. India, Thailand, and Vietnam are the major exports of rice if these stopped exports it reduces the economy up to 15%. A related circumstance is built up with diverse yields too like wheat, sunflower whose fare has been stationary by Kazakhstan, Serbia individually. In India, the end of April is the main source of income to farmers because they sell their rabi crops (wheat, mustard, maize, lentil, chilies, gram, tomatoes) in the market drastically decreases of CFPI may lead to the distress of Indian agricultural economy. The change over time in the price of options on wheat futures reveals increased price volatility in response to growing uncertainty about the COVID-19 impacts.

This article proposes a novel approach to bioethics, referred to as “affective bioethics”, which draws on traditions in anthropology, science and technology studies, disability studies, and Spinozist materialism. By focusing on the case of Michael and Terri Schiavo, in which Terri’s personhood and subjectivity are challenged by dominant forms of neurological reductivism in the USA, this article suggests that approaching her condition as a set of relations with the people in her life and her socio-technical environment may have helped to develop new ways to conceptualise personhood and subjectivity moving beyond the view of her as a non-person. Drawing on Michael Schiavo’s memoir of his legal battles, and Terri’s diagnosis and care, this article shows how Terri’s connections to the world disrupt American ideas about the isolatable individual as the basis for personhood and subjectivity. Attending to these interpersonal and socio-technical connections focuses bioethical attention on the worlds that individuals inhabit, and how those worlds might be designed to make more kinds of life livable and new forms of personhood and subjectivity possible.

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.
