The opportunity to prepare a book on “Social and Preventive Pharmacy” provided us the occasion to serve the students of B. Pharmacy. Many new concepts have arisen and much more modifications have been incorporated over the past strategies. The book enunciates the principles and components of Primary health care and National health policies to achieve the goal of “Health for all”. It provides entire information about the National Health Programs with particular emphasis on maternal and child health programs, family welfare planning. The book allows for the lucid understanding of different health and disease conditions. This book introduces communicable diseases, causative agent, mode of transmission and prevention of various diseases. All the topics of the textbook are described in detail for the benefit of the student community. The text book has been designed to give the students rapid and easy access to all the information in a syllabus wise format by presenting the subject in a clear, understandable and logically organized way.
Presents legislature of the Central Provinces and Berar and its interaction with the national movement from 1921 to 1937. During the period three groups were active: Moderates, the Swarajists and a Motley group which believed in responsive cooperation with the government. Apart from political ideology, many of them were imbued with local loyalties; quite often personal ambitions and interests affected the views and legislative behaviour of many a member.
This book is a fascinating investigation into how communalism plays out in everyday India. Using the metaphor of tana-bana – the warp and the weft of the Banarasi sari – the author reproduces the interwoven life of Hindu-Muslim relations in the Banarasi sari industry. As the city of Banaras in Uttar Pradesh takes the centre stage as the site of this ethnographic study, the author documents the dissonance in representations of Banaras as a sacred Hindu city and its essential plural character. The volume • examines in-depth the lives of Banaras Muslims in the social and economic matrix of the sari industry; • highlights how women negotiate between home, family and their place in the artisanal industry; and • sheds light on their fast-changing world of the Banaras weavers and their responses to it. With a new introduction and fresh data, the second edition looks at the subsequent developments in the weaving industry over the last decade. This volume will be of immense interest to scholars and researchers of social anthropology, gender studies, development studies, sociology and South Asian studies.
An examination of the frameworks of science and religion that provides a multi-cultural view of how they affect our perception of the truth"--Provided by publisher.
This book studies the impact of the communal violence of the early 1990s on the individual lives of the Muslim weavers of Banaras, with considerable focus on gender, identity and inter-community relations.

In the Vishnudharmottara Purana, when Vajra asks about the art of sculpting deities, Markandeya responds that understanding sculpture first requires knowledge of painting. When Vajra seeks the rules of painting, Markandeya further explains that painting itself cannot be understood without knowledge of dance. To grasp choreography, one must first comprehend music, and true understanding of music is only possible through mastery of singing. This interdependence of art, the insight into the essence of art, is not only attractive but also worth deploring especially when over-specialization is the norm of our age. The essays in this book are a reflection of that ideal, seeking to explore and touch even a small part of this artistic interdependence.
This book explores a novel technique for processing biodiesel using lipase immobilization by encapsulation and its physical properties, stability characteristics, and application in stirred tank and re-circulated packed bed immobilized reactors for biodiesel production. The enzymatic processing of biodiesel addresses many of the problems associated with chemical processing. It requires only moderate operating conditions and yields a high-quality product with a high level of conversion and the life cycle assessment of enzymatic biodiesel production has more favourable environmental consequences. The chemical processing problems of waste water treatment are lessened and soap formation is not an issue, meaning that waste oil with higher FFA can be used as the feedstock. The by product glycerol does not require any purification and it can be sold at higher price. However, soluble enzymatic processing is not perfect. It is costly, the enzyme cannot be recycled and its removal from the product is difficult. For these reasons, immobilized enzymatic process has been developed which retains the advantages of the soluble enzymatic process and reuse of the enzyme is possible which decreases the enzyme cost, the biodiesel produced does not contain any enzyme residue and the activity of the enzyme can be increased by immobilization. The drawbacks of the immobilized enzyme process are mass transfer limitation, enzyme leakage, the lack of a versatile commercial immobilized enzyme and some of immobilization methods involve toxic chemicals. To overcome the drawbacks of the immobilized enzyme, an attempt is made to use a degradable biopolymer (κ-carrageenan) as a carrier for lipase immobilization.
Out of the blue, during a discussion on child molestation, my wife remarked, “My mother advised us to never believe men.” I was left stunned as she painted all men with one brush. But coming from my life companion and a well-respected counsellor, set me thinking. What she had said had a much deeper relevance than what met my eye. An IIT'ian at heart, after some dithering, I decided it was worth getting to the bottom of it, even if it meant a lifetime. Dive into this book as I relive my past and share the experiences and learnings in the book.
When in the great wheel of evolution of this Universe another turnaround has to be given, when some new form, new type of life is coming forth, then the Supreme reveals Himself, embodying the type which He seeks to initiate in His Cosmos. Time and Time again, He has incarnated to give that much required push for human beings to go to the next step in their evolution. ?In her latest book, Incarnations: Steps for Momentum in Human Evolutio, Saraswati Raman has nicely interwoven Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi's clarifications on the occasion of several pujas on the meaning of various Avataras, together with the incidents in the lives of the great Avataras. She has brought home, in a lucid manner, how the human evolution has been actualized in the form of incarnations taken by the supreme being. I wish her all the best for this beautiful book.' ?Mrs. Chandrika Nair, MA, Dip. Ed., M.Ed., retired principal
Mahatma Gandhi and Dalai Lama have been the two exponents of peace and nonviolence. The concepts and the methods of peace and nonviolence of both the thinkers and freedom fighters are quite relevant to the contemporary World in resolving the conflicts prevalent at social, national as well as international levels. The present study has been a humble attempt to understand and analyze the concepts and theories of peace and nonviolence and their application to resolve conflicts peacefully and amicably. This study also examines the basic contention of the then Nobel Committee for Peace in 1989 to compare the Dalai Lama with his merntor, Mahatma Gandhi for his forward looking proposals to solve the problems between the Chinese state and the Tibetan people without resorting to violent means.
