To draw representative sample, three localities from Hisar city were selected randomly representing lower, middle and higher economic status. Out of each selected locality, 30 households were selected at random thus making a total of 180 households. Independent variables were caste, family income, family size, education of HH, mass media exposure and social participation while dependent variable was gender differentials in terms of sex ratio, educational status, health status, economic participation, inheritance, political/social participation and decision making. Socio-economic and personal profile of the respondents revealed that majority of households were male headed, belonged to nuclear families with medium family size. Sex ratio for female/ male in was 1044 in high ES, 969 in medium ES and 816 in low ES. Maximum respondents across all categories preferred to have boy as 1st child. Gender and educational status was found significantly associated. More males than females were attending private institutes and science stream. More females were drop outs than males. Gender wise health status revealed that majority of males and females did not suffer from major diseases, however, more males perceived their health status as very good compared to females while more females perceived their health status as average and poor compared to females. Females of high and medium ES were more over weight while 40 per cent females of low ES suffered from anaemia. Out of total economically inactive members, majority are females. Control on economic resources was joint in high and medium ES while male dominated in low ES. The social and economic participation was found low in both males and females yet lower in females. Irrespective of ES most of the decisions were male dominated. Sex ratio of high economic strata and economic status sin medium , low ES and in total were found to be significantly different among males and females while regard to other variables differences were found non- significant.ThesisItem Open Access Adaptation and Application of Henna Motifs for Fabric Painting(CCSHAU, 2015) Diksha Rani; Rose, Neelam MIndia‘the land of culture and heritage’ is blessed with numerous arts and crafts and each one is famous for its uniqueness of motifs, designs, processing etc. Henna is one of the traditional artwork of India which reflects its culture and rich heritage through intricate designs. It is used for temporary body decoration and can be served as a great source of inspiration and ideas for creating new designs in the fashion world. Thus the present study was conducted to adapt and apply henna motifs on sari using fabric painting. The 186 traditional henna motifs were collected from secondary sources like books, journals, magazine and internet etc. and screened for their suitability to saris and fabric painting. The identified motifs were sketched manually and scanned from books, magazines etc. which were then created and refined in CorelDRAW X5 and Adobe Photoshop to get the required intricacy and fineness. The created motifs were categorized in four categories viz. floral and foliage, kunj/paisley, animal, bird and insect and human motifs and shown to the thirty experts to sought their preferences for selection of five top preferred motifs from each category. A total of fifty designs were developed in CorelDRAW X5 software using selected twenty motifs and got evaluated by a panel of thirty experts for selection of five top preferred designs for placement on saris. The base colour and fabric for saris were selected as per preferences of experts. Fifteen developed design placements were again shown to the experts and one best design placement of each selected five designs was selected for development of colour ways. Three colour ways for each selected five design placements were prepared and colour way that secured Ist rank was selected for development of saris through fabric painting using nozzle technique of henna application. The cost of each saris was determined by adding the cost of fabric, painting material, and labour involved in tracing, painting and finishing. The fabrics painted saris were assessed for consumers’ acceptability on different parameters. Organdie fabric in light yellow colour was most preferred for saris. Out of ninety six motifs, twenty motifs selected for design development were motif number 6, 10, 16, 17 and 22 in floral and foliage category, motif number 2, 8, 14, 18 and 23 in kunj/paisley category, motif number 9, 10, 15, 18 and 21 in animal, bird and insect category and motif number 10, 13, 15, 16 and 17 in human motifs category. The five top preferred designs were design number 4, 24, 31, 48 and 50. Preferences of experts for placement of selected five designs were placement III of design number 4, 31, 48 and 50 and placement I of design number 24. Most preferred colour ways for fabric painting as per experts’ choice were colour way III of design number 4 and 50, colour way II of design number 24 and colour way III of design number 31 and 48. Five saris were developed through fabric painting using nozzle technique of henna application as per preferred placements and colour ways of selected five designs. All the fabric painted saris were found very appealing and accepted by consumers on all the parameters of assessment. The cost of the saris was rated appropriate by all the consumers. Thus, traditional henna motifs adapted for development of designs for saris has broaden the design base for textile products and cater to the demands of high-end consumers through diversity of designs and unique technique of fabric painting..
