The Salmophasia fishes are included under the order – cypriniformes and belong to the family – Cyprinidae (Day, 1958). Most of the Salmophasia species are inhabitants of the tropical and subtropical waters. Man made reservoirs and lakes provide unique habitats for the fishery wealth of Karnataka. Reservoir ecosystems have been recognized for their great potential for fish production. At the present level of management, the average fish yield of Indian reservoirs is only between 10-16 kg/ha/year (Jhingran, 1991). The small reservoirs have the potential to yield more than 100-200 kg/ha. Siltation in the rivers and reservoirs, apart from diminishing the quantum of water flow results in the destruction of breeding grounds of fishes, migration of fishes and overall productivity of the reservoir. Siltation also affects the benthic population and the natural recruitment of fishes in the impounded waters. Reservoirs, like rivers are inevitably being affected by industrialization and urbanisation.

We have tried to present an overview of one-hundred-year-old movie history (all over the world), which has both positive and negative aspects for the creator and the viewer. This is especially true of the three leading commercial centersBollywood (Bombay Hindi movies), Hollywood (USA), and Japan. Images moved in 1892 and started talking in 1923 in The Jazz Singer (Hollywood). It has remarkable achievements both on epic and offbeat levels. They cast a hypnotic spell and emotional bonding of the viewers with the star performers and singers. The identification with the character and their predicament is the magnetism, which is unparalleled compared to other arts like literature, painting, music, etc. Movies combine all the three major art forms besides the charisma of the stars. But it has its flip side also, like the dark space between stars littered with broken hearts and lives and the questionable impact of the crass, commercial movie with an eye on profit at any cost. However, we can make it more powerful and positive. The book is an exciting romp through the stellar world of movies and their creators.

Reservoir fisheries development is most essential for quantum jump in inland fish production and socioeconomic up gradation of fishermen. However presently, the fish yield from the reservoir fisheries is frustratingly low, as observed by Sinha (2001). The strategy of enlargement of gear mesh size for capture, increases in fishing efforts and stocking support paid rich dividends in this area. The stocking necessitate the breeding population of economically viable species in the reservoirs. The opportunity needs to be used for establishing the native major food fishes that are compatible and hardy and amenable to the lentic environment of the reservoir, otherwise, the trash fishes multiply and occupy the large volume of water in grater abundance dominating the whole ecosystem. On the other side the native fish should find a natural place in the reservoir not only in point of view of adding to the total production and higher income but also as a biodiversity conservation measures. Sperata aor belongs to Bagridae family and is dispersed throughout Indian subcontinent .This cat fish is a popular food due to its good taste and high nutritional value. Recently, it has also made its entry in domestic ornamental fish markets of India and has been reported to have moderate export price (Sandipan Gupta,2015).

10,000 Afghans. 21 Sikh soldiers. One epic battle. On 12 September 1897, 21 soldiers of 36th Sikh regiment stood undeterred as they guarded the post of Saragarhi against the onslaught of almost 10,000 Afghan tribesmen – a battle for the ages that ended in them laying down their lives in a final hand-to-hand combat. The unparalleled heroics of these 21 men have, however, been long forgotten by history. What led to the Battle of Saragarhi? What was the socio-political scenario at the time? Who were these tribesmen and why did they attack an outpost in such great numbers? Who were the 21 soldiers and how were they able to keep the enemy at bay against all odds? Based on colonial era records and information provided by the 4th Sikh battalion, the legatee unit of 36th Sikhs, 21 Kesaris attempts to answer these questions while paying homage to the brave soldiers who defended the 'kesari' flag – depicting their Khalsa heritage – with their last breaths.

Motivation, persistence and perseverance are the distinct traits of determined and dedicated individuals who can make things happen. It's always possible, even when the task is awesome -- transforming the mindset of human beings. Located in India's capital, New Delhi, Tihar is one of the largest prisons in the world. Within a prison complex of over 200 acres are housed over 9,700 inmates -- men, women, adolescents, children; Indians and foreigners. They comprise unconvicted alleged offenders, convicts and remandees. Tihar was a limping, languishing institution, condemned by the media, and its inmates were isolated from the community, exploited, used and abused, yet 'housed'. Dr Kiran Bedi was appointed Inspector General of Tihar Prison in 1993. She brought about fundamental changes, giving a human face to the administrative structure and creating an exemplary system covering every possible aspect of prison management. The whole objective was to collectively and individually manage the transition from a moribund system to a responsive and sensitive administration. Hence her efforts unfolded the process of reformation involving prison administration, prisoners and the community, toward one common goal -- Correction through a collective approach. Dr Bedi's account is enhanced by input from the prisoners themselves, expressing their feelings in letters and sketches, in petitions and poetry. This book is a graphic portrayal of an holistic process of conversion, a metamorphosis from criminality to humanity, achieved within a restrictive legal framework.

Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Film Science, grade: 6.8 (= A), , language: English, abstract: In India, cinema serves not only as a form of entertainment, but also as a means of disseminating cultural values within society. As a form of mass communication, cinema has the ability to shape the opinions and beliefs of the people. Kannada cinema is one of the cinema industries of India in which 'Social Concern and Democratic Thoughts' portrayal has been a crucial part since its inception. In this research, I have discussed how 'Social Concern and Democratic Thoughts' are mirrored in Upendra’s Films. This study mainly focuses on how Upendra's films often serve as a mirror image of the common man through 'Social Concern and Democratic Thoughts', offering a study of their struggles, aspirations, and societal impact. Upendra's distinctive narrative technique and intellectually stimulating themes provide a thorough analysis of the common man's position in society. Upendra creates unique and memorable characters that challenge stereotypes and defy expectations. Upendra frequently employs the technique of breaking the fourth wall in his films, wherein he directly addresses the audience. This approach enables him to effectively engage with the viewers, thereby blurring the distinction between fiction and reality, and transforming them into active participants in the storytelling process. Upendra's films frequently address social issues and offer social commentary. He fearlessly shows topics such as corruption, inequality, and societal norms. Through his narrative, he inspires viewers to challenge the status quo and engage in critical thinking about the world around them. Through his ‘Social Concern and Democratic Thoughts’, he originated a political party called the Uttam Prajakeeya Party (UPP) is also discussed.
