The document summarizes child labor issues in the Indian seed industry, particularly in cottonseed production. It finds that the seed industry employs the highest proportion of child labor compared to other sectors in India, with an estimated 4 lakh children below 14 years of age working on cotton and vegetable seed farms. Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh have the largest areas under cottonseed production and also rely heavily on child labor. Children are involved in labor-intensive tasks like hand-pollination and face risks to their health from pesticide exposure. Response from the government and industry to address these issues has been limited.
An economic analysis of mulberry raw silk production in traditional and non-t...Premier Publishers
Sericulture is cottage based industry which combines both the features of agriculture and industry. India has tremendous potential for silk development but yet unexploited, however development is not far away. The current study is an attempt to analyse the share between traditional and non-traditional states and between the states on the basis of mulberry silk production and mulberry cultivation. Regression analysis, coefficient of variation, growth rate was used to attain the objectives of the study. It was found that the traditional states hold the maximum share both in mulberry cultivation during 2012-13 was (82.90%) as well as production of raw silk (96.49%). In which Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal contributes maximum production among traditional states, while as Maharashtra, Manipur and Madhya Pradesh are the leading contributing states among the non-traditional states in total raw silk production in India.

A study on ‘Performance Evaluation of Select Textile Companies An Empirical A...IOSRJBM
Indian Textile industry has played a pioneered role in growth and upliftment of country. It is the sector that contributes approx 14 per cent to industrial production, 4 per cent to GDP and Approx 13 Percent of total exports of the country. The sector has offered employment to around 45 million people, by acting as one of the biggest employment generator sector. In spite of having such a remarkable records, companies in textile industry are facing many problems like shortage of raw material, obsolete machinery, power shortage, low productivity of labour and competition in foreign market. So the objective of the study is to measure and compare the performance of selected textile companies in India during last five years. The secondary data collected is analyzed using various statistical tools and techniques such as Ratio analysis and one way ANOVA. To measure the financial performance of selected textile companies, in terms of Managerial efficiency, Liquidity, Profitability and Solvency position of the companies, ratio analysis has been used. Further one way ANOVA has been used to identify if there exist a significant difference in the mean and performance of different textile companies. The results showed that there is significance difference in the Return on Capital Employed, Net Profit Margin, Current Ratio, Debt to Equity Ratio, and Fixed Asset turnover ratio of sample Textile companies at 5% level of significance

Benefits and Constraints of Rice Mechanization in Thamirabarani Command Area ...ijtsrd
The study was aimed to assess the perceived opinion of rice growers on benefits and also the constraints encountered by the rice growers on farm mechanization. A sample of 160 rice growers from eight villages in Thamirabarani command area was selected for the study. The respondents were interviewed personally through a well-structured and pre-tested interview schedule. The study revealed that the Overall Mean Opinion Score was 3.91 which indicated that farm mechanization was beneficial to the rice growers in many aspects. The major benefits of farm mechanization as perceived by the respondents were farm mechanization helped in operating agricultural works quickly (MOS 4.97), performing farm operations in time (MOS 4.86), overcoming labour shortage problem (MOS 4.75), minimizing work burden of labours (MOS 4.61) and improving working condition of farmers (MOS 4.03). Regarding constraints, most of the respondents expressed lack of credit facilities (98.75 per cent), high fuel cost (98.75 per cent), high initial cost (97.50 per cent), low resale value for farm implements and machineries (97.50 per cent), high maintenance cost (95.00 per cent), lack of training (94.38 per cent) and lack of skilled labourers for operating improved farm implements and machineries (93.13 per cent) as the constraints in rice mechanization.

Trends in Area Production and Productivity of Groundnut in Uttar Pradesh: Fut...inventionjournals
India has been ranking among top three producers of Groundnut in the world, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh being the major producing states in the country. However, there has been a consistent fluctuation in the area and production over the years and across the State. Uttar Pradesh being one of the most populous state in the country has been ranking amongst the top two states as far as mustard production is concerned. However it ranks 8 as far as the production and productivity groundnut is concerned. Groundnut oil being a major cooking medium and groundnut seeds an important ingradient in the processing sector, the paper aims to analyse trends in area, Production and Productivity of Groundnut in Uttar Pradesh with future business implications. Orthogonal polynomial technique has been deployed to examine the trends.
The slides explain why pulses production in India stagnant over the years and how we can overcome the supply side bottlenecks to meet the growing demand by 2020 and 2015.

These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
