Socio-economic empowerment has been considered instrumental for holistic development. Women¿s empowerment is obviously essential for raising their socio-economic status in the society. Recently, women¿s empowerment has acquired an important place in government policy, non-government advocacy and academic research.There has been a paradigm shift in development and governance. Democratic decentralization, partnership with NGO¿s, empowering community based organizations, participatory development, sustainable growth and equity etc. have proved to be instrumental in people participation in development and governance as well as their empowerment. The models of micro-finance were evolved in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Philippines, Sri Lanka etc. and were adopted in India too. Financing through SHG¿s has been considered instrumental in people¿s empowerment, mobilizing thrift and extending credit. The concept of micro-finance in India was introduced sometimes in 1985, however, since 1996 it was widely accepted and implemented.

The leaf spot disease of onion caused by Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissler is the most serious one. The disease causes extensive damage to bulbs as well as seed crop. In view of the destructive nature of leaf spot of onion, the present investigation was planned to find out the effective disease management practices. Potato dextrose agar and host leaf decoction agar medium proved the best for growth and spore production by the fungus followed by oat meal agar, Czapeck¿s (Dox) agar and Richards¿ agar medium. Neem leaf and dhatura showed the maximum fungal growth inhibition and sporulation. While Trichoderma harzianum and T. viride to were proved to be the best antagonist against the pathogen. In vitro screenings Hexaconazole (Contaf 5 EC) was found the most effective and inhibited cent per cent growth of A. alternata even at 500 ppm concentration.

Low-chill apple varieties have demonstrated their adaptability to warm climates in tropical and subtropical regions of India, particularly within the latitudinal range of 15° to 30° north of the equator. This encompasses the North Indian plains, the Gangetic basins, significant portions of eastern states, and the Eastern and Western Ghats, including the Nilgiri region. Notably, a new low-chill apple cultivar "HRMN-99," developed by Hariman Sharma from Bilaspur district of Himachal Pradesh and officially registered under the PPVFRA Act (Protection of Plant Variety and Farmers Rights Act) in his name during 2021, has gained prominence. While conventional apples normally develop improper colour and fungal spots on their surfaces in the event of excessive rain or fog during the fruit maturity period, this new variety is resistant to scab disease. Due to its higher sugar-acid ratio, attractive colour, and higher self-life, this variety overcomes several demerits of the low-chilling apple varieties. This variety is resistant to scab disease.

Minerals continue to play a notable role in infrastructural development. Their harnessing involves applying exploration methods that are begged on prior geological knowledge and practical concepts. The geological knowledge is preliminarily learned from field geological mapping which can then be followed by applying investigations and analyses that involve methods such as geophysical survey, geochemical analytical techniques or drilling methods, or at times a combination of the methods so as to unravel the envisaged details. Indeed, mineral mapping process begins with the analysis of historical information, geological mapping, field observations and collection of field samples for further investigations under laboratory conditions. Such investigations were undertaken for Ainamoi Area, Kericho County in Kenya. The investigations resulted to identification of anomalies that have substantial bauxite mineralization as geochemical and lab results obtained showed. The study investigated the economic potential of bauxite mineral deposits (Aluminum ore) with respect to concentration per acre of land, depth and/or height of the resource.

The world may be fast approaching the perfect storm, with the intersection of two major global trends. At a moment of historic transition, when the post-WWII and post-Cold War international order is eroding amid competing visions of world order and renewed geopolitical rivalries, the world is also in the early stages of an unprecedented technological transformation. It promises to be a period of exponential change, the second¿and far more disruptive¿chapter of the digital revolution that began with the Internet in the 1990s. Historically, technology usually races ahead of institutions, rules, and norms. The extraordinary magnitude of change at a time of global institutional fraying and disorder, however, portends a particularly dangerous gap in global governance impacting economies, societies, and the future of war.Substantially more technology-driven change will take place during the coming two decades than in the first ICT (information and communications technology)-based revolution, with profound social, economic, and geopolitical ramifications.

Urban flooding, caused by rising river levels as a result of heavy rainfall or heavy snowmelt, is common throughout the world. In the conditions of the cities of Uzbekistan (Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara), located on the hilly terrain of arid zones, flash floods and inundations occur as a result of anthropogenic changes in the urban landscape and surface coating properties. Thus, the development of urban infrastructure leads to an increased risk of flooding as a result of heavy rainfall. The paper outlines methods for constructing a digital model of the city's relief and a mathematical model of water flow along the relief of the urban area. Changing the topography through the construction of roads and structures leads to the formation of flood zones.
