Participatory technology development farmers lead researchAshish Murai
Agricultural extension, as a discipline and a service, is the most frequent scapegoat when it comes to putting blame for poor adoption of latest technologies among farmers. Whereas, the researchers often fail to understand the compatibility of their technologies with respect to farmers’ situation, resources, social structure and other relevant factors. Therefore, the research should be farmer-driven and farmer-lead. Participatory technology development provides for farmers to lead the research process and result into farm appropriate technologies.

Happiness Programs for Colleges & UniversitiesKaran Behl
All over the world, Science of Happiness is picking up really well as a subject in college. This is very evident from the following :
1. The most popular course at Harvard University which entered the history book of Harvard as a most enrolled program
2. 3,75,000 students enrolled for University of California, Berkley online happiness program
3. Offered by medical colleges like NYU medical college
4. Offered by engineering, MBA, post graduate and undergraduate colleges across U.S.A.
5. Dubai has started Ministry of Happiness
6. Bhutan Govt. has 10 ministries working on Happiness
This is the time when India is also catching up very fast :
1. 6 month online program on Coursera designed by ISB
2. IIT Kharagpur launches Centre for Science of Happiness
3. M.P. Govt. announces Anand Mantralaya
4. Corporates branding themselves around Happiness
5. Many colleges and universities are launching it soon
It is very important that Science of Happiness become a subject or a part of subject in MBA, Medical, Engineering, Post grads and under grads colleges across because until unless one knows how to manage self and stay emotionally strong and happy (especially in difficult times), how can he/she manage others?
As per a survey, Doctors are very high on job satisfaction but equally high on stress levels. Now being a doctor, they are not very comfortable in discussing this with anyone that they are stressed or anxious which result in to their health, relationships and overall performance. At their work also, they become very mechanical while examining the patients resulting into medical blunders sometimes.
MBA's are supposed to be managing team of 5,10,50,100 or even more people when they join the corporate world but if they don't know how to keep their well being and happiness level high, how can they manage or deal with their team?

Learning is a lifelong quest. It is a continuous process of enquiry,
evaluation and evolution. And it stands ever so true with the dynamic
field of Management and its education. The world is at its dynamic best
and so are the markets. It is therefore absolutely necessary for the
managers to turn into ‘Ablest Navigators’ to turn the tides of change into
an organisation’s favour and to be able to do that they need to constantly
upgrade themselves.
Jaipuria’s journey in education began in 1945 with the
establishment of the Jaipuria College in Kolkata. Today, 67
years after its inception, the House of Jaipuria has been
delivering superior quality education consistently. It is this
unique heritage spanning 7 decades and 4 generations that
sets us apart from other educational institutes.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science.

Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics.
