India became the planet´s second-largest potato producing country all over the world because potato output increased from 1.3 million to over 34 million over the last six decades. Despite that, this spectacular increase makes a series of less readily apparent tendencies in the growth rates for potato production, area, and yields. When the area harvested enlarged, the growth for area harvested touched a series of peaks and valleys; as yields per hectare continuously increased, the growth rate for productivity gradually decreased to a half. In the present year, Uttar Pradesh is the major Potato producing State with 31.26% of production share, followed by West Bengal, Bihar, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh with 23.29 %, 13.22%, 7.43%, and 6.20% share respectively. This paper analysis is based on the driving factors behind the increase in production, area harvested, and yields. Sub-sector specific recommendations include greater eco-efficiency in cold storage.

Covid-19 is one of the biggest challenges that the world has faced ever especially for countries like India which is having the second-highest population in the world. The Larger population plays the role of a catalyst for the expansion of the Covid-19 virus as maintaining necessary physical distance becomes quite difficult in these areas. In this Paper, the spread of Covid-19 has been analyzed in densely populated five states and one union territory of India i.e. Uttar-Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, West Bengal, Tamilnadu, and Delhi. Along with symptoms of serious and mild Covid-19 patients, the general precautions that need to be taken by patients during quarantine days have been also discussed. The spread of Covid-19 has been analyzed based on per day change in three parameters i.e. Active Case Rate (ACR), Recovery Rate (RR), and Death Rate (DR). All these parameters have been calculated from the data available at https://www.pib.gov.in/newsite/bulletinn.aspxand the analysis has been performed on approximately six-month data taken from June to November 2020. Based on the above calculation, the peak of Covid-19, as well as variation in the Active Case Rate, Recovery Rate, and Death Rate in the respective states/union territory, has been summarized in this study.

Phlebotomidae is a hematophagous dipteran fly and vector of various types of leishmaniasis in India and other parts of the world. The disease has been endemic in the various parts of the country such as Bihar, Jharkhand,West Bengal, Eastern Uttar Pradesh, some part of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and TamilNadu.There are several reports regarding the development of several new foci of the disease in the high elevation of the Himalaya, especially in the Jammu and Kashmir and Northwest Himalaya. Characters of the external male and female genitalia are considered as the most reliable tool in the systematic work (Neglected in the most previous works) and more than 26 characters have been identified for cladistic analysis. An attempt has been made for weighing of the characters and cladistic analysis based on genetalia of sandfly.

The production and the market for potatoes in Poland, in Europe and in the world has undergone a process of evolution. The changes in Poland in the last decade or more have been very dynamic, especially after Poland joined the EU. The production of potatoes has also undergone changes in other EU countries, but they have taken a much milder course. The article attempts to evaluate the changes in Poland and in other countries that are crucial to potato production in the EU. Statistics from Eurostat, national statistics from individual states and information and materials of the European Commission were used in this research. The article concentrates on analysis of changes in production area, yields and potato harvests and evaluates the processes in chosen EU countries. Reasons for changes are discussed, most especially the changes in demand on the potato market demand.

Potato is one of the main vegetable crops of the world. It is grown in the winter season in India. Potato production all over the world is about 382 million tonnes. Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Bihar are top three states for potato production in India. The objective of this study is to rank the constraints of using technology among farmers in India for potato production. In the adoption of potato production technology, the social constraints like lack of contact with extension personnel' had got ranked I. In case of economic constraints, ‘low profit had got ranked I. Most of the suggestion being made because of the expressed opinion of the respondents, observation of the investigator. It may be said protection of crop should be ensured from animals and farmers training programme for increasing potato production farmingstarted, and emphasis must be given to popularize and increase awareness about the production of potato.

The World Bank’s 2012 Ganges Strategic Basin Assessment (GSBA) is an interesting but contentious document with a wealth of information. The basin has a population of 656 million; and 47 percent of Indians, 576 million, live in this basin. Nepal’s three bordering States of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal with a population of 199, 104 and 91 million respectively have a staggering combined population of 385 million, far greater than that of the USA. The Ganges basin has the world’s highest population density and, as a consequence, poverty level borders that of Sub-Sahara. This is India’s Hindu cow belt where water is increasingly getting scarce.With the strategic resource, water, getting scarce in the Ganges, the Bank’s GSBA has some startling findings: storages in Nepal store ‘significantly little’ water, so flood control in India is ‘very limited’. Storages in Nepal can ‘double lean season flows’, but agricultural productivity in India is ‘currently very low’ from such augmented flows. The Bank believes that ‘hydropower and trade’ is ‘significant’ and negotiation ‘simpler than previously thought’. The Bank recommends that Nepal push her hydropower development on a fast track. Many believe it is not the ‘significant’ power trade that counts. What really counts is whether or not the traded Energy will be at a Significant Rate. By pushing Nepal’s significant hydropower, the Bank is advocating a policy whereby India avail free lean season water stored in Nepal’s fertile valleys submerged for perpetuity. I n the Bank’s opinion, as India’s agricultural productivity is currently very low and flood control very limited, Nepal’s downstream benefits are also very low. Nepal is, thus, very disappointed with the Bank’s such Indo-centric GSBA report.Hydro Nepal: Journal of Water, Energy and EnvironmentVol. 12, 2013, JanuaryPage: 6-12DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hn.v12i0.9025Uploaded Date : 10/28/2013 


This present study makes an analysis of changing contribution of sub-sector and composition and growth performance in Indian economy. In addition to that, the contribution of sub-sector of service sector in state economy. The results revealed that the growth rate of Chandigarh was high due to providing especial emphasis on dominating sub-sectors of services and its most preferred destination for technology whereas, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh due to geographical and environmental conditions development were higher in floriculture and agriculture, although, tourism emerged as a new profession and have different opportunities. Apart of that, in the wake of some challenges in the form of lack of infrastructure, recent crisis in the world market, foreign direct investment (FDI) restrictions and outsourcing backlash were major limiting factor.
