Innovation Systems is a concept to help reveal and deal with the partnership and institutional issues that shape innovation processes and shape the contribution of research to that process. It recognises multiple knowledge bases, including research but also others. It is a capability to innovate, not just today but in ever-changing environments — i.e., it is a dynamic, adaptive capability. It is embedded in and defined by the institutional and policy contexts that shape the ways actors and organisations behave
The 'Invisible Half': Recognizing the contribution of women in agriculture ILRI
Presented by Purvi Mehta and Sapna Jarial at the Regional Conference of the International Network of Women Engineers and Scientists, New Delhi, India, 12-13 October 2012
This presentation was held during a Gender and Climate Change workshop on 14 May 2014, held at the World Agroforestry Centre. The workshop was organised by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI).
This short-but-thorough presentation from IWMI’s Valentine J Gandhi provides a valuable introduction to the gender analysis in agricultural research. Covering the many reasons for undertaking gender-sensitive research and the tools available for the job, it also looks at the skills required in an effective gender researcher, and ways to analyze and interpret results.

How we can improve the status of women in agriculture and bring visibility to women farmers. The World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Index placed India 112th out of 153 nations in 2020. Women have the lowest levels of economic involvement and prospects, ranking 149th out of 153 nations (World Economic Forum 2020).
This topic looks at one of the strategies used by farmers and small firms in the agribusiness sector to leverage cost, access markets and become competitive in the market. Emphasis was made on the use of contract farming (vertical linkage) and cooperatives (horizontal linkage).

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. 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”.

End notes
Missing women - today around 6 million women are missing every year in India and 32 million in the world due to sex-selective abortion, infanticide, unequal treatment in childhood
And in agricultural sector, they look after farm, home, livestock, work twice as men and after all that are considered to be in supporting role.
But the statistical data beg to differ here. Giving women the same opportunities as men would increase GDP by a fairly high margin and feed a large number of hungry people by increasing yield to 20-30 %.
A large majority of women are engaged in agricultural activity, they are practically feeding the developing countries and half of the world, engaged in farm majority of their working hours, constitute half of the world, has equal contribution in food production as men and work 30 % of the official labour hours. So I am sure I wont be politically incorrect if I say without women the world would go hungry.
And that’s why it is more unfortunate that women make the lion’s share of world’s poorest, constitute only 15 % of extension agents, receive 10 % of world’s income and own 1 % of world’s property.
And what better reason do we need for feminization of whole concept of development before we can talk about equality?
Now before going forward, lets first go back in time when gender issues first started getting importance in agriculture and rural development.
And here we are today. There are a large number of issues in gender in development. But I will discuss here only the major ones related to agriculture
So lets not forget the women at home, on farm who are working hard as we speak to feed us, keep us comfortable. In no other area of international development the gap between stated intensions and operational reality is as wide as in the promotion of equality between men and women and its is upon us to narrow down that gap, give women the credit and position they actually deserve.
And that’s all for my presentation today. Thank you.
