उद्यमिता विकास में केवीके की भूमिका Capacity development of farmers and extension personnel to update their knowledge and skills in modern agricultural technologies and enterprises is key for successful entrepreneurship development. KVK is the only institution at the district level in India for technological backstopping in agriculture and allied sectors. उद्यमिता विकास में केवीके की भूमिका Indian agriculture has witnessed phenomenal growth during last four decades with manifold increase in production of major commodities like food grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, eggs and fish. As a result, the per capita availability of important food items has increased despite of increasing population. The ratio of agricultural land to agricultural population has shrunk to 0.3 ha per person in India as compared to 11.0 ha per person in developed countries. The resources are getting marginalized and there is tremendous pressure on natural resources with divergence of agricultural land and water towards industrial, urban and non-agriculture sector. Food security is one of the major concerns. It is estimated that India’s population during the last three and half decades have increased from 551 million to 1122 million, which implied that the country had to feed double the population. Food security is attached to national sovereignty and thus, agriculture sector has to gain strength and vision to uphold the national concern....

Post harvest rots of papaya Many post-harvest diseases of papaya start when wounds develop due to post-harvest injuries. The infection process, mainly during post harvest, is formed after mechanical injuries to the skin of the product such as nail scratches and scrapes, insect exposure and cuts. Post harvest rots of papaya पपीता (Carica papaya L.) जिसे सामान्य आदमी का फल भी कहा जाता है, यह त्रोपिकल अमेरिका (Tropical America) की एकमूल्य फल है और यह मेलन जैसे फल के लिए त्रोपिक्स और सबट्रॉपिक्स के सभी भूगोलीय क्षेत्रों में उगाया जाता है और फलों में प्रोटियोलिटिक एंजाइम "पपैन" का विशेष उपयोग किया जाता है, जो कई दवाओं और खाद्य पकवानों में प्रयुक्त होता है। पपीते में प्रति 100 ग्राम में 39 कैलोरी होती हैं। पके हुए फलों में 92.6 प्रतिशत पानी, 7.5 प्रतिशत कार्बोहाइड्रेट, 1.0 प्रतिशत प्रोटीन, 0.5 प्रतिशत वसा, 4.5 प्रतिशत आहारी फाइबर और 0.1 प्रतिशत खनिज पदार्थ (2.5% कैल्शियम, 2% फॉस्फरस, 2.5% मैग्नीशियम, 0.5% जिंक, और 1% आयरन) होते हैं। सौ ग्राम खाद्य पापीता 61.8 मिलीग्राम एस्कोर्बिक एसिड, 0.04 मिलीग्राम थायमीन, 0.05 मिलीग्राम रिबोफ्लेविन, और 0.34 मिलीग्राम नियासिन शामिल है। पपीते में उच्च स्तर पर शर्कराएँ और पोषण तत्व होते हैं, और कम pH मूल्यों के कारण वे कई फंगल कीटाणुओं के लिए संवेदनशील होते हैं। पपीते में, समुद्र शिप में 10-40 प्रतिशत और हवाई...

मोटे अनाज - जी20 शिखर सम्मेलन 2023 के मूक नायक Millets are widely grown around the world as cereal crops or grains for fodder and human food.  These millets are also known as "coarse cereals" or "cereals of the poor". Indian Millets are nutritionally superior to wheat and rice as they are rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. They are also gluten-free and have a low glycemic index, making them ideal for people with celiac disease or diabetes. G20 summit Shines a Spotlight on Millets-The Unsung Heroes of Global Agriculture In a world where agricultural discussions often revolve around mainstream staples like rice, wheat, and corn, millets have remained the unsung heroes of global agriculture. However, the G20 summit in 2023 is set to change this narrative by casting a spotlight on these humble grains. Often overshadowed by their more popular counterparts, millets are finally receiving the recognition they deserve for their significant contributions to food security, sustainability, and nutrition. Millets, a group of small-seeded grains, have been cultivated for thousands of years across various regions of the world. What sets them apart is their ability to thrive in diverse and challenging environments, making them a crucial resource for countries facing climate change-induced agricultural disruptions. Their resilience to drought and low-input farming requirements...

अनाज की पराली प्रबंधन के प्रभावी उपाय Wheat and rice are staple food of India so they are grown in large areas. These two crops i.e. rice and wheat, play major role in our economy. After harvesting of these crops they produce a large amount of residue that remains in the field. The farmer burns the residue or this waste material on the farm. When the farmers harvest crop grains by thresher but stubbles remain in the field, for cleaning field they use to burn the stubble or when the gap between the harvesting and showing is less then stubbles are burned.   Burning leads to produce toxic gases that leads to pollute the environment and effect the health that leads to unhealthy all year-round becomes unbreathable during winter, smog, fog, where visibility is low, is due to particulate matter emissions from farm fires in Punjab, Haryana, and Western Uttar Pradesh. This contributes to the   Delhi’s air pollution crisis, and short-term solutions sustain only till the skies clear up. There is no denying that the effects of seasonal paddy stubble burning are severe it causes an estimated loss of 150,000 years of healthy life annually. Underlying stubble burning, however, is a paddy-wheat cropping system with wide-ranging effects on the region. Recently Punjab Chief Secretary Vijay...

Importance of millets in the context of climate change Coarse grain is called millet in English. Millets are a nutritious food for humans and animals. You can grow millet anywhere. It can be easily grown in dry areas, rainy areas, coastal areas or hilly areas. People around the world should take note of the general benefits of climate-friendly millet production and consumption as this crop is hassle-free to produce and has many health benefits. Importance of millets in the context of climate change मोटे अनाज को अंग्रजी में मिलेट कहते है। मोटे अनाज मानव और जानवरों के लिए एक पौष्टिक आहार है। मिलेट को आप कहीं पर भी उगा सकते है। इसे सूखे क्षेत्र, वर्षा क्षेत्रों, तटीय क्षेत्रों या पहाड़ी क्षेत्रों में आसानी से उगाया जा सकता है। दुनिया भर के लोगों को जलवायु के अनुकूल मोटे अनाज के उत्पादन और खपत के सामान्य फायदों पर घ्यान देना चाहिया क्योंकि इस फसल का उत्पादन बिना किसी परेशानी के होता है और इसके खाने से लोगों को सेहत के मामले में बहुत लाभ होता हैं। संयुक्त राष्ट्र ने 2023 को मोटे अनाज (ज्वार, बाजरा, रागी इत्यादि) का वर्ष घोषित किया है और सभी भागीदारों से कहा हैं कि पोषण और स्वास्थ्य के मामले में मोटे अनाज की खपत से होने वाले फायदों के साथ-साथ...

Research issues in improving access of farm women to agriculture inputs The researchable issues identified with respect to agri-inputs will be useful in designing gender sensitive programs that can appropriately address the constraints of women and men, thereby improving performance and outcomes. This will improve the researcher's understanding of gender differences in vulnerability, resulting in timely planning and reducing the differential impact on women. Research issues in improving access of farm women to agriculture inputs खाद्य उत्पादन क्षेत्र में सतत विकास करने के लिए कृषि में महिलाओं की गुणवत्तापूर्ण भागीदारी सुनिश्चित करना जरुरी है । बदलते सामाजिक और आर्थिक परिदृश्य में गैर-कृषि नौकरियों के लिए पुरुषों के प्रवास के कारण ग्रामीण कृषि में अभूतपूर्व परिवर्तन देखे गए। वाणिज्यिक कृषि में उच्च निवेश, जलवायु परिवर्तन और बाजार की अनिश्चितता से जुड़े जोखिमों ने अधिक पुरुष सदस्यों को कृषि से विस्थापित होने के लिए मजबूर किया। इससे ग्रामीण महिलाओं को वास्तविक कृषक के रूप में उभरने में मदद मिली। महिलाओं की वर्तमान भूमिका को देखते हुए कृषिरत महिलाओं के हित में बाजार और ऋण नीतियों में भी सुधार किया जा रहा है। वर्तमान में, हालांकि ग्रामीण कृषि ज्यादातर महिलाओं पर निर्भर है, पर विभिन्न लिंगगत  मुद्दों पर शोधकर्ता, विस्तार और तृणमूल स्तर की  कार्यकर्ताओं की समझ अभी भी प्रारंभिक अवस्था में है। इसलिए, कृषि में महिलाओं को...

फसल सुधार में बायोमेट्रिक्स की भूमिका To create a significant hypothesis from plant data, statistical algorithm may be utilized. The biometric genetics is very useful to extract the significant information for crop improvement. The study of genetic variability within species and between species, relationship among the phenotypic traits, contribution of independent traits to dependent traits. All this exclusive information may derived by the help of biometrical techniques like analysis of variance, correlation study, path analysis, principal component analysis etc.     फसल सुधार में बायोमेट्रिक्स की भूमिका In the year 2010, the world’s population was estimated to be more than 6.8 billion people. The United Nations projects that the world population will surpass 7 billion in 2012 and reach 9 billion by 2050. Feeding those billions of additional people will be a major challenge for agriculture in next few decades. Crop plants will have to provide most of the calories and nutrients required for world’s future population. The genetic analysis of complex characteristics such as the oil content of corn is known as quantitative genetics. Statistical analysis has many applications ensuring the validity and reproducibility of plant breeding and genetics research. We must use statistical procedures that have been developed for analyzing complex characteristics. “Biometrics is the science that deals with the applications of...
