This work compared two methods of instructions such as blended and traditional instruction to see their influence on engagement in learning of 50 regular students of BA first semester on a course developed in psychology. The 25 students of experimental group were taught by blended instructions (70% online and 30% traditional) and 25 students of control group were taught through traditional instructions (face-to-face lecture method in a traditional classroom). The students' post-test scores on engagement in learning were examined by applying t-test to find out if there were significant differences between the experimental and control group. Findings of the study indicated blended instructions to be effective in improving engagement of students in learning than traditional instructions.

Agricultural marketing committees helped all farmers for the immediate sale of all agricultural products. In the same way it helped for the immediate sale of betelvine leaves. Agricultural produce marketing committee not only facilitated farmers for immediate sale of betel leaves but also encouraged farmers to grow more of betel leaves. Betelvine leaves were known as perishable and so required immediate sales. Cultivators did not know the knack of quick marketing and so they were dependent on commission agents. As soon as cultivators plucked the leaves, they sent the leaves to the market for sales. Cultivators packed them into an appropriate package, known as a dag. In the evening all the dags were collected by agents who carried all dags by their own or hired tempos or trucks to the determined markets. Price was recognized as an expression in terms of money. Generally, price covered cost of production plus profit to disclose the efficiency of production. Price was measured as an important element to collect revenue as the price was a charge on sales. Price was the primary element of marketing mix. Price induced the cultivation of betelvine for the favorable decision making. Cultivators selected the suitable marketing area which yielded sufficient surplus income. Cultivators preferred their options in the selection of intermediaries for the immediate sale of betel leaves. Cultivators dispatched the matured betel leaves for sale at highest prices to intermediaries to fulfill the basic aspiration. Price was determined on the basis of supply of leaves, quantity, maturity, color, size of leaves etc. In Sangli, there was no an organized market for the scientific sale of betel leaves. Intermediaries played a solid role to influence price that produced expected profit. Cultivators relied to tally on agents who were well converts and with the market tactics and cultivators were much busy with their routine work of cultivation. Betelvine leaves were sold on auction and on bargains by intermediaries. Better price was offered to better quality of betel leaves. During social and cultural celebration demand of betel leaves was increased and price automatically hiked. Mumbai, Kolhapur, Sangli, Chiplun, Fonda and many parts of Kokan region were the main market for the sale of Sangli betel leaves. Betelvine cultivators in Sangli district not only earned income but also claimed good reputation in the various markets. Cultivators collected dues after one week for their sale from Sangli, Kolhapur, Chiplun, and Fonda and after a month from Mumbai agents. Local commission agents also paid the dues to the concerned cultivators after one week.

The present study was planned to investigate the effect of up and downhill running regime on 5000- meter running performance of boy’s athletes. To conduct the study, 50 male athletes who competed in district level athletic competitions were selected as sample. The age range of the selected subjects was between 16 to 18 years. These selected subjects then divided into two groups i.e. experiment and control group with equal number of subjects assigned randomly in each group. The subjects of experimental group underwent up and down hill running as per the training schedule of eight weeks along with usual exercises whereas subjects of control group did not perform up and down hill running. Results indicate that eight weeks of up and downhill running during training period has been instrumental in improved performance in 5000m timings of athletes from experimental group as compared to athletes constituting the control group.

Women empowerment in the context of women‟s development is a way of defining, challenging and overcoming barriers in a women‟s life through which she increases her ability to shape her life and environment. It is an active multidimensional process, which should enable women to realize their full identity and power in all spheres of life. India envisions a future in which Indian women are independent and self reliant. It is unfortunate that because of centuries of inertia, ignorance and conservatism, the actual and potential role of women in the society has been ignored, preventing them from making their rightful contribution to social progress. Women entrepreneurship development is an essential part of human resource development. Entrepreneurship amongst women has been a recent concern. Women have become aware of their existence their rights and their work situation. However, women of middle class are not too eager to alter their role in fear of social backlash. The progress is more visible among upper class families in urban cities. However it is observed the development of women entrepreneurship is very low in India, especially in the rural areas. The present paper is based on primary and secondary data collected from different sources and specially focus on women entrepreneurship. The collected data has been analyzed through statistical techniques i.e. SPSS, EXCEL and conclusion were drawn

As we look around us, we see that our surroundings were originally a natural landscape such as a forest, a river, a mountain, a desert, or a combination of these elements. Most of us live in landscapes that have been heavily modified by human beings, in villages, towns or cities. But even those of us who live in cities get our food supply from surrounding villages and these in turn are dependent on natural landscapes such as forests, grasslands, rivers, seashores, for resources such as water for agriculture, fuel, wood and fish. Thus our daily lives are linked with our surroundings and inevitably affects them. We use water to drink and for other day – to – day activities. We breathe air, we use resources from which food is made and we depend on the community of living plants and animals which form a web of life, of which we are also a part. Everything around us forms our environment and our lives depend on keeping its vital systems as intact as possible. Our dependence on nature is so great that we cannot continue to live without protecting the earth’s environmental resources. Students’ environmental awareness is the most important indicator for displaying nation. The impact of videos and multimedia technologies in educational outcomes is a field of ongoing research civilization. Video combines many kinds of data (images, motion, sounds, text) in a complementary fashion; learning can be adjusted more easily than with other tools to the diverse learning styles and individual learning pace of students. In this study investigators have examined the impact of video technology on the awareness about the Environment among Primary level students.

The objective of this work is to study the monthly and daily variation of soil temperatures at various depths at Buldana. This knowledge will facilitate the suitable placement of Earth-Air Heat Exchanger. A 3-m deep temperature probe was installed in the campus of Rajarshi Shahu Polytechnic, Buldana . Readings were taken over a period of one year. The probe has six temperature sensors, mounted at 60 cm intervals. The probe was buried in a vertical position. The first sensor is at ground level, the second at 0.6 m depth, third at1.2 m, the fourth at1.8cm, the fifth at 2.4 m and the sixth at a depth of 3 m. Temperatures from all the sensors were noted everyday for a year. Readings were noted in the morning at 8 am, noon at 1 pm and evening at 5 pm. In this paper, the results are presented. Temperatures were noted at intervals of 1 hour on some days in every month.
