The book is based on practical experience gained during the planning and execution of e-governance projects in India coupled with extensive research based on six national/multi-state-level agriculture related projects. It assesses e-governance projects in terms of desired project outcomes and analyzes performance from the viewpoints of three key groups – planners, implementers and beneficiaries. It highlights six constructs: extent of planning, comprehensiveness of strategy formulation, effectiveness of strategy implementation, changing situation, stakeholder competence levels and flexibility of processes, which are applied to reveal shortfalls in the existing planning and implementation system for e-governance projects in India. It also identifies a set of significant strategic variables influencing performance based on three independent opinion surveys of stakeholders located across the country, and uses these variables as the basis of strategic gap analyses of some major ongoing agriculture related projects. Furthermore it presents lessons learned from cross-case quantitative and qualitative analyses in the form of a generalized strategic framework for improving performance. Offering an overview of major e-governance projects, it uses several illustrative examples to address the underlying issues and to support the study findings and recommendations. It also presents a novel approach of building strategic alliances across related departments to achieve effective e-governance. The book will be of interest to the practitioners in government as well corporates who are engaged in planning and implementation of e-governance projects spanning across various layers of government. In Indian context, the learning issues are likely to trigger appropriate corrective measures for generating better value from the several flagship projects envisaged under the Digital India Programme. Further, it will interest the academic audience working on the strategic framework and constituting constructs. It will also benefit business students and application software architectures who aspire for a consulting career in the area of e-governance.

The Importance Of Social Sciences And Its Application In The Field Of Public Health Is Being Gradually Recognised Both By Social Scientists And Medical Scientists. It Has Been Realised That Many Of Today S Health Problems Are Attributed To Social And Environment Has Definite Impact On The Morbidity Pattern And More So, In Rural Areas And Urban Slums. For Instance, Many Of The Non-Communicable Dis¬Eases Like Coronary Heart Diseases, Diabetes, Hypertension, Stress Diseases Are Related To Lifestyle Of The People. Moreover, The Effects Of Social Environment Are Reflected In The Complex Of Psychosocial Aspects And Includes Attitudes, Beliefs, Customs And Value System Of Society. Till Date, Not Many Social Scientists Or Public Health Specialists Either Singularly Or Jointly Have Undertaken Community Based Field Studies To Correlate The Social Aspects Of Health And Disease.The Importance Of Health Education, A Newly Emerging Speciality, Has Been Realised During Last Few Decade, But Not Much Empha¬Sis Has Been Laid By The Health Administrators For Its Application In Preventive And Control Strategies Laid Down In Various National Health Programmes.The Present Book, Divided Into Five Sec¬Tions, Is Collection Of Twenty Eight Articles Dealing With Varieties Of Social Issues And Educational Aspects On Health. Section I Deals With Social Aspects Of Few Communicable Diseases Like Measles, Diarrhoeal Diseases, Std Etc. Section Ii Focusses On Psychosocial Aspects Of Blindness. The Next Section High¬Lights On The Utilisation Of Family Planning And Mch Services. Section Iv Deals With Differ¬Ent Aspects Of Health Education, Namely Smok¬Ing And Its Hazards, Medicosocial Problems Of Youth, Problems Of Geriatric Population Etc. Section V Covering Six Articles, Deals With Medicosocial Problems Of Paraplegics And Orphans, Woman To Woman Education In Health Care, Scope Of Health System Research In Mch
The study of the genetic regulation of immune response to natural multidetermi nant immunogens was undertaken by the method of bidirectional selective breed ing of High or Low antibody responder lines of mice. Five Selections are described: Selection I, carried out for agglutinin responsiveness to sheep erythrocytes and pigeon erythrocytes alternated in each generation. Selection II, carried out for agglutinin responsiveness to sheep erythrocytes repeated in each generation. Selection III and Selection IV performed respectively for agglutinin response to flagellar or somatic antigens of Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella oranienburg alternated in each generation. Selection V, performed for passive agglutinin response to bovine serum albumin and rabbit gamma globulin alternated in each generation. In each Selection the character investigated is polygenic. High and Low responder lines diverge progressively during the selective breeding. The maximal interline separation (selection limit) is reached in the 7th-16th generations. High and Low responder lines at selection limit are considered homozygous for the character submitted to se~ection. Their variance is therefore only due to environ mental effects. The difference in agglutinin titre between High and Low lines is 220-fold in Selection I, 103-fold in Selection II, 90-fold in Selection III, 85-fold in Selection IV and 275-fold in Selection V. The partition of genetic and environmental variances in the foundation popu lations of the five Selections is established. The proportion of genetic variance is 60% in Selection I; 49% in Selection II; 51% in Selection III; 47% in Selection IV and 76% in Selection V.
