Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) implied that a country with strong economic background shifting to industrialization or mechanization of agriculture will have positive GDP and the environmental damage level will decrease. The analysis and assessment showed that the environmental problems caused by economic activities are: air pollution in the urban area still maintained at high level; water pollution in rivers and limited fresh water supply; the soil pollution and declining water supply underneath soil are prevailing.

In the present scenario of climate change, temperature rise leads to reduction in the yield of millets whereas irregular rainfall adds to this reduction with a negative impact. QTL mapping for different drought tolerance genes in millets will be helpful for breeding climate resilient genotypes. Similarly QTLs for significant general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) for several yield related traits under stress will also proved to be beneficial for breeding for climate resilience.

Exodus of youth from rural areas to urban areas has become an inevitable phenomenon in our country. The rural youth population of India is slowly deserting their origin and swarming towards the urban areas. The exodus of rural youth means fewer small-scale farmers, today and tomorrow. It is a global food security issue too. Having an insight into the rationale behind the exodus behavior of rural youth is hence crucial. Considering this point of view, a study was conducted among 160 migrant rural youths with agricultural background.

This paper introduces a new statistical calculator which provides a step-by-step guide to data analysis of the research data generated in agriculture, biological sciences and in other fields. The process used to develop the program is quite involved with statistical theories and is not understandable to those who do not have any background in statistics and data analysis. Here we will explain the procedure adopted and the programme used, step-bystep so that it becomes easily comprehensible. We have provided examples in each spreadsheet for analysis.

Agriculture is witnessing a serious challenge of declining profitability. The development of agriculture, to a large extent, depends on efficient use of modern farm inputs. Public extension system is still dominating in India and, therefore, its role in the supply of inputs is vital. In this background, a study was conducted on “Perception of extension functionaries about input supply in Jharkhand”. One district belonging to each five divisions was randomly selected. Similarly, two blocks from each selected districts were also randomly selected.
