The sample of 300 10th class students (150 boys: 75 rural & 75 urban; 150 girls: 75 rural & 75 urban) was randomly selected from government and private schools of Sambhal district. Tools for collecting the data included Academic Anxiety Scale for Children (AASC) by Dr. A.K. Singh and Dr. A. Sen Gupta (2009).The data were analyzed using descriptive analyses (Mean, Standard Deviations), correlational analyses (Coefficient of Correlation „r‟) and differential analyses („t‟- test). The findings of the present study revealed that academic anxiety is significantly and inversely related to academic achievement of secondary school students. It is also found that there is a significance difference between boys & girls and government & private secondary school students on the variable academic anxiety. However non-significant results are observed in case of (i) rural and urban secondary school students on the measure of academic anxiety and academic achievement and (ii) government and private secondary school students in respect of their academic achievement. The findings of the study may help in designing programs and strategies to manage the academic anxiety efficiently which may result into enhanced academic performance.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a self-adjusting business model that helps a company be socially responsible and liable to itself, stakeholders, and the public. By practicing corporate social responsibility, also called corporate citizenship, companies can be aware of the kind of impact they are having on all aspects of society including economic, social, and environmental. To engage in CSR means that, in the normal course of business, a company is operating in ways that encourages society and the environment, instead of contributing negatively to it. Consumers consider more than quality goods and services when choosing a brand. Many are prioritizing corporate social responsibility (CSR), and holding company liable for effecting social change with their corporate beliefs, practices and profits. In fact, some will even turn their back on their favorite companies if they believe they're not taking a stand for societal and environmental issues. But consumers are not the only ones who are drawn to businesses that give back. A company's CSR strategy is a big factor. Maintenance is another major part of CSR. You must actively and continuously work on your process; it is not a one-time process.

Culture is what makes everyone different from who they are and where they originate. It embraces all the aspects of human life and their way of communicating and interacting with other human beings. Food is an essential part of people’s lives, and not just a means of survival. It is also the main factor in how we view and differentiate people and influences the impacts on their culture. Different cultures have varieties of food and ingredients and this is a fusion of foods with their culture. You are what you eat, it doesn’t matter how they eat it or how they cook it as long as it represents them and their culture. There is a strong link between culture and food; this includes their religion, tradition. Media plays an important role supporting in retaining culture and food identity. The myriad of published cookbooks and food magazines, culinary festivals, TV shows, celebrity chefs, blogs has completely changed the meaning of food. The aim of this paper is to try to give answers to the questions of how food communicates our culture, and how we relate food to our religious and cultural identity. There is an increased awareness of significance of food within contemporary society and culture, and therefore there is a need to explore it.

Advances in attaining capital needed to pay for progress. Building up the economic and social pillars of ecological sustainability while neglecting the environment degrades the natural capital needed for growth. Focusing on geo-ecology and the environment without gender equality has been equally sluggish. From the general studied area it has come out on the basis of primary questionnaire data, the majority of the women (79.2%) are involved in farming and contributed significantly to land/soil conservation.

Now a a days, energy security and energy demand have become a serious global issue and problem To meet this demand, a number of research is being carried out to look for economically viable and environment-friendly alternatives. The only solution that appears to meet futuristic needs is the use of renewable energy. The prospects of producing carbon-neutral biofuels from microalgae appear bright because of their unique features such as suitability of growing in open ponds required for production of a commodity product, high CO2-sequestering capability, and ability to grow in wastewater/seawater/brackish water and high-lipid productivity.. The objective of this review article is to provide a comprehensive review on various aspects of lipids producing in algae has not yet emerged, Till now algal classes which have lipids are Cyanophyta,Chlorophyta, Cryptophyta, Bacillariophyta, Haptophyta, Dinophyta and Pheophyta.. Major alge which produce lipids are Chlorella, Haematocccus, Nanochloropsis, Chlymydomonas (. Chisti, Y. (2008) Chinnasamy, S (2012) Arumugam,(2014)
