“Sacred Groves are small patches of natural vegetation dedicated by local communities to ancestral spirit or deities and have traditional means of biodiversity, where climax-growth of vegetation can found”. Many species of trees were considered ‘Sacred’ in Indian societies, for example, Bassia latifolia and Anthrocephalus cadamba the tribals of Orissa and Bihar worshipped Tamarindus indica and Mangifera indica. “Many species of Ficus were worshipped throughout India. It was also believed that, certain species of trees symbolize specific Gods and such trees were also worshipped” Sacred groves are tracts of virgin forest harbouring rich biodiversity and are protected by local communities to keep them in a relatively undisturbed state. These are the small patches of relic forest, protected by local communities on religious ground, which are the traditional Indian way of in situ conservation of biodiversity. Various indigenous communities dedicate sacred groves to the local deities or ancestral spirits. Such a grove may consist of a multi-species, multi-tier primary forest or a cluster of trees, depending on the history of the vegetation. These groves were protected by local communities, usually through customary taboos and sanctions with cultural and ecological implications.
Sacred groves are the good source of a variety of medicinal plants, fruits, fodder, fuel wood, spices, etc. In India, the sacred groves were reported earlier from the Himalayas, North-east India, highlands of Bihar, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, particularly where the indigenous communities live. There are 13,720Sacred Groves reported in India. The total area of SGs in India as a whole, would be about 39,063 ha Contribute 0.055% of the total Forest area of India.
Several plants and animals that are threatened in the forest are still well conserved in some of the sacred groves. It has been observed that several medicinal plants that are not to be found in the forest are abundant in the sacred groves. Further, rare, endangered, threatened and endemic species are often concentrated in sacred groves. Main causes of anthropogenic pressure the degradation of habitat happening. The sacredness, religious beliefs and taboos play a significant role in promoting sustainable utilization and conservation of flora and fauna of the region. However, with the passage of time, considerable changes have taken place in the extent of the sacred groves, in their vegetation structure, peoples’ perception towards them causing the frequent degradation of these “Mini Biosphere Reserves”.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

(1910-2000)
3. M.S.Swaminathan:-
(1925- till now)
5. 1.Dr.Norman Borlaug:- (1914-2009
Norman Ernest Borlaug was an American agronomist, humanitarian and Nobel
laureate who has been called "the father of the Green Revolution", "agriculture's
greatest spokesperson"
and "The Man Who Saved A Billion Lives".
Born : March 25, 1914, Cresco, Iowa, United States
Died : September 12, 2009, Dallas, Texas, United States
Nationality : American
Education : University of Minnesota
Awards : Nobel Peace Prize, Congressional Gold Medal, More
6. Dr . Norman Borlaug :-
Norman Ernest Borlaug, (born March 25, 1914, Cresco, Iowa,
U.S.—died Sept. 12, 2009, Dallas, Texas), American agricultural
scientist, plant pathologist, and winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace in
1970. He was one of those who laid the groundwork of the so-called
Green Revolution, the agricultural technological advance that
promised to alleviate world hunger.
7. Dr. Norman Borlaug Studies :-
Borlaug studied plant biology and forestry at the University
of Minnesota and earned a Ph.D. in plant pathology there
in 1941. From 1944 to 1960 he served as a research
scientist at the Rockefeller Foundation’s Cooperative
Mexican Agricultural Program in Mexico. Borlaug’s work
was founded on earlier discoveries of ways to induce
genetic mutations in plants. These methods led to modern
plant breeding, with momentous results that included the
tailoring of crop varieties for regions of climatic extremes.
At a research station at Campo Atizapan he developed
strains of grain that dramatically increased crop yields.
Borlaug ultimately developed short-stemmed
("dwarf") wheat, a key element in the Green Revolution in
developing countries.
8. FATHER OF THE GREEN REVOLUTION:-
The Green Revolution resulted in increased production
of food grains (especially wheat and rice) and was in large part
due to the introduction into developing countries of new, high-yielding
varieties, beginning in the mid-20th century with
Borlaug’s work. Its early dramatic successes were in Mexico
and on the Indian subcontinent. Wheat production in Mexico
multiplied threefold in the time that Borlaug worked with the
Mexican government. In addition, dwarf wheat imported in the
mid-1960s was responsible for a 60 percent increase in
harvests in Pakistan and India. Borlaug also created a wheat-rye
hybrid known as triticale. The increased yields resulting from
Borlaug’s new strains enabled many developing countries to
become agriculturally self-sufficient. However, since their
introduction, those varieties were discovered to require large
amounts of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to produce their
high yields, raising concerns about cost and potentially harmful
environmental effects. As a result, newer varieties of food
grains, which are not only high-yielding but also resistant to
local pests and diseases, have been developed.
9. Normans Works And
Contribution :-
Borlaug served as director of the Inter-American Food
Crop Program (1960–63) and as director of the
International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center,
Mexico City, from 1964 to 1979. In 1986 Borlaug
created the World Food Prize as a way to honor
individuals who have contributed to improving the
availability and quality of food worldwide. In constant
demand as a consultant, Borlaug served on
numerous committees and advisory panels on
agriculture, population control, and renewable
resources. He also taught at Texas A&M University
(1984–2009), where the Norman Borlaug Institute for
International Agriculture was established in 2006. His
numerous other honors include the Presidential
Medal of Freedom (1977) and the Congressional
Gold Medal (2007).
12. Chidambaram Subramaniam:-
(1910-2000)
Born On : January 30, 1910
Born In : Senguttaipalayam, Tamil Nadu
Died On : November 7, 2000
Career : Freedom Fighter, Political Leader
Nationality : Indian
13. INTRODUCTION:-
Ministers are elected to the cabinets. They come, serve the term, and are elected
again for yet another cabinet. Very few are able to justify their positions by
contributing to the concerned ministry that they are appointed for. One such
honorable and commendable minister was Chidambaram Subramaniam who, as a
food minister, transformed the nation into a self-productive factory of wheat.
Popularly known as the political architect of the "green revolution" in India,
Subramaniam utilized his formidable skills in spreading the use of a new variety
of wheat to millions of farmers, making India capable of harvesting wheat on
homeland rather than importing. Besides, he was successful in supporting a new
program for selling hybrid seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides at heavy subsidized
rates. With this, Subramaniam gave India what it had been dreaming since long -
green revolution.
14. Early Life:-
Early Life Chidambaram Subramaniam was born to
Chidambara Goudner and his wife in a village named
Senguttaipalayam near Coimbatore district, in the
present state of Tamil Nadu. After completing his early
education in Pollachi, he went to Chennai to take
admission in Presidency College to pursue a bachelor's
degree in physics. Thereafter, he studied law at Law
College in Chennai.
15. Political Career :-
In 1952, Subramaniam began his political career, after being trained in the basics
of politics and administration under Rajaji. He started off as a Minister of
Education, Law and Finance in Madras State from 1952 to 1962. With this, he
served as the leader in Madras Legislative Assembly for 10 years. He was, then,
elected in Lok Sabha in 1962 and appointed as Minister for Steel and Mines.
Eventually, he was given diverse portfolios to handle, like Agriculture in 1965,
followed by finance and defense later on. With the Congress Party undergoing the
split crisis in 1969, Subramaniam chose to side Indira Gandhi and hence, became
the interim president of the party headed by her. He supported her during the
Emergency period and served as the Finance Minister in the central government.
16. Position in the Government:-
However, he chose to part ways with her post-Emergency and joined
Congress (Urs) Party, headed by Devraj Urs. He was also designated as the
Deputy Chairperson of the Planning Commission of India during 1971-72.
In 1990, he became the Governor of Maharashtra and conducted frequent
meetings with leading academics, industrialists, representatives of non-governmental
organizations, and prominent citizens on critical issues of the
society, thereby transforming the Raj Bhavan into a common activity zone.
But to his dismay, he was forced to resign after newspaper reporter
overheard and reported that he criticized the working style of the then
Prime Minister of India, P.V. Narasimha Rao.
17. Contributions to India
Prior to joining full-fledged politics, Subramaniam plunged into the
freedom struggle strongly and was even imprisoned for his active
participation. Later on, he was elected to the Constituent Assembly and
was also involved in structuring the Constitution of India. Amongst all his
achievements and contributions, his best accomplishment has been the
development of India's agricultural policy. After convincing the then Prime
Minister of India, Lal Bahadur Shastri, and implementing the program,
India was able to deliver a record production of wheat in 1972. This proved
to be a major accomplishment of the Indian Green Revolution.
18. Awarded Bharat Ratna to
He was further involved in introducing high-yielding varieties of
seeds and more intensive application of fertilizers which gave way for
increasing the output of cereals in the late 1960s. He founded the
National Agro Foundation at Chennai and Bharathidasan Institute of
Management at Tiruchirappalli. Amongst all the proteges that
Subramaniam produced, the most prominent include M.S.
Swaminathan, former Agriculture Secretary B. Sivaraman, and
Verghese Kurien. In 1998, he was conferred upon with the highest
civilian award in India, Bharat Ratna.
19. Death :-
Chidambaram Subramaniam died on November 7, 2000 in
Chennai, thereby ending the golden era of green revolution
with him. He was 90.
