    FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOUR OF WOMEN SARPANCH UNDER PANCHAYATI RAJ SYSTEM
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION AND COMMUNICATION B.A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Thakor Nikitaben Ganpatsinh; Dr. J. K. Patel
    “True democracy cannot be worked by twenty men sitting at the centre. It has to be worked from below by the people of every village” this line demonstrate by panchayati raj system start with the mindset of women by changing their values regarding themselves and their ability, rights and potentials need to change. Leadership behaviour of women as women sarpanch are dummy leaders and there is always hidden control structure behind them to take decision and real decisions are taken by her husband and other family members, but these factors reinforce the need for the study rather than to lower its relevance. It was, therefore felt necessary to analyse the leadership characteristics which determines leadership behaviour and different leadership pattern of women sarpanch under panchayati raj system. The present study entitled “Functional analysis of leadership behaviour of women sarpanch under panchayati raj system” was undertaken with following specific objectives:

    FUNGAL BIOFERTILIZERS FOR PREPARATION OF P AND K RICH ORGANIC MINERAL MANURES AND THEIR EFFICACY IN MAIZE
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL MICROBIOLOGY B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Solanki Jayvirsinh Pratapsinh; Dr. R. V. Vyas
    The nutrient pool and soil organisms are highly affected due to declining soil health. Reduction of fertilizer use efficiency is the reflection of injudicious use of agrochemicals for crop nutrition and protection, such activity lead to lower organic carbon content in soil. Restoration of soil health, lowering down chemical fertilizer requirement and enhancement of microbial activity was thought and attempted in present study using native plant growth promoting fungal isolates (PGPF). Fungal cultures were isolated from different AAU farms based on their abilities to solubilize P and K mineral forms. They were further screened for pathogenicity symptoms on seed germination and seedling growth parameters. Two non-pathogenic fungi were identified as isolate T-3, Aspergillus flavipes (NCBI Access No. MW88450) and T-17, Trichoderma aggressivum (NCBI Access No. MW88453).

    ENTREPRENEURIAL BEHAVIOUR OF WOMAN MEMBERS OF SHGs IN CHHOTAUDEPUR DISTRICT
    (DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION AND COMMUNICATION B. A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2021) Rathwa Yogeshkumar H.; Dr. Sunil R. Patel
    Women's empowerment is a worldwide concern. The global SHG movement intended to systematically empower marginalised grass-root level women through awareness, revenue generation, and capacity building. Nowadays, rural women are also conscious of their wages, so they organise themselves into groups and begin saving a small amount on a regular basis. It benefits not only them, but also the democratic, social, and cultural domains of existence. SHGs offer a platform for women so that they can engage with one another, appreciate their shared concerns, engage themselves in entrepreneurial activities and uplift themselves. SHG seeks to increase women's quality of life through self-sufficiency, capability development, and community sustainability by instilling in them the entrepreneurial spirit.

    MODELING SPATIO-TEMPORAL VARIABILITY OF DAILY & SUB-DAILY RAINFALL FOR GENERATING REGIONAL HYETOGRAPHS & INTENSITY-DEPTH DURATION CURVES FOR MIDDLE GUJARAT
    (College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology Anand Agricultural University Godhra, 2021) Ram Bhavin Devabhai; Dr. M. L. Gaur
    Rain withstands life by so long, as the means for transferring water from the atmosphere to the land surface to facilitate its entire productivities in numerous senses. Whole agricultural production and environmental conditions are exclusively governed by natural rains. Scientifically the rainwater happens to be of utmost importance for all human kind, whose dispersals across space and time are highly uncertain, complex, non homogeneous, and capricious. Rainfall remains a prime input entity for plethora of models & modelling approaches in hydrological and water resources sector. Proper understanding and thereupon its accurate assessment/quantification in terms of magnitudes, trends, utilizable apportions, predictive means for ungauged situations, productive utilizations etc. are futuristic arena of research. The spatial and temporal dispersals in regards to natural rains were categorically researched for six closely located (50-100 Km) stations in 3 districts of middle Gujarat region, for judging local dispersals in rains to offer end deliverables that remain highly versatile and functionally vital for utilities in real ground applications on many applied aspects of rainfall-runoff modelling.
