    (CCSHAU, 2018) Priyanka; Rekha
    The present investigation ―Development of processing technology for instant mango shake powder‖ was conducted with the objectives to optimize processing technology for development of instant mango shake (IMS). Fresh and six months stored frozen pulp mango pulp had total soluble solids (19.56 and 16.39 %), acidity (0.41 and 0.43 %), ascorbic acid (6.96 and 5.73 mg/100 g), reducing sugars (5.79 and 5.93%), total sugars (13.24 and 13.79%), pectin (0.51 and 0.54%), total carotenoids (1.24 and 1.15 mg/100 g) and total phenols (42.33 and 39.67 mg/100 g) Mango pulp was blanched in microwave (2.00 min. /100 g at 900W). After blanching, the product was either freez dried, tray dried or microwave assisted tray dried. After drying, dried mango pulp was ground to powder, mixed with skim milk powder (SMP) and sugar in 32:26:42 ratio, packed in aluminum laminated and polypropylene pouches and stored for three months at room temperature. IMS1 (prepared from mango pulp, mixed with skim milk powder and freeze dried) and IMS2 (prepared from microwave assisted tray dried mango pulp) had moisture content (4.60 and 4.15%), crude protein (0.82 and 0.77%), crude fat (0.42 and 0.46%), crude fibre (0.93 and 0.89%), ash (1.47 and 1.45%), carbohydrates (96.27 and 96.42%), energy (393.93 and 393.93 Kcal), calcium (262.67 and 252.33 mg/100 g), ascorbic acid (5.75 and 5.01 mg/100 g), carotenoids (1.14 and 1.09 mg/100 g), total phenols (39.19 and 34.17 mg/100 g), bulk density (0.94 and 0.89 g/cm3)and dispersibility (86.87 and 82.93%) The most acceptable instant mango shake powder i.e., mango pulp mixed with skim milk powder and freeze dried had moisture (4.60%), protein (0.82%), fat (0.42%), crude fibre (0.93%), ash (1.47%), carbohydrates (96.27%), energy 392.90 Kcal and calcium (262.67 mg/100 g), ascorbic acid (5.75 mg/100 g), total Carotenoids (1.14 mg/100 g) and total phenols (39.19 mg/100 g) Moisture content, water activity, acidity, non enzymatic browning, total soluble solids, solubility index and microbial load increased while, pH and ascorbic acid of the all three instant mango shake powder variants decreased significantly during three month of storage. Cost of IMS powder ranged from `247.54 to 46.72/100 g. All the instant mango shake powder variants were found acceptable even after three months storage.

    Self-esteem, achievement motivation and academic performance of high school children
    (CCSHAU, 2018) Priyanka; Balda, Shanti
    Self-esteem refers to person's beliefs about his or her worth and value. Self-esteem is important because it influences individual's decisions. Achievement motivation is described as the need for performing well or the motivated for success and evidence by persistence or effort in the facing the difficulties. Academic performance as well as achievement both is the outcomes of education and the extent from which a student, teacher and the institution has accomplished their educational goals. The present study examines the relationship between self-esteem, achievement motivation and academic performance of high school children. The study was conducted in Hisar city and rural area of Hisar district. Total sample constituted of 240 adolescents, 120 from rural area and 120 from urban area, representing both the sexes in equal number. Self-prepared interview schedule was used to collect information on personal and socio-economic variables. Self- Esteem Inventory (Prasad and Thakur, 1977) was used to assess self-esteem of children. Rao‟s Achievement Motivation Test (Rao, 1974) was used to assess achievement motivation of children. For academic performance, percentage of marks secured in previous three examinations was obtained from school records. The results revealed that maximum percentage of high school children belonged to moderate category of personally perceived and socially perceived self-esteem. Irrespective of area of residence and sex of children, self-esteem of majority of high school children was high followed by negative and balanced. Majority of children had moderate level of achievement motivation. Majority of children from both the areas belonged to above average category of academic performance. There existed significant positive correlations between self-esteem (personally perceived and socially perceived) and achievement motivation and academic performance of children. Children with balanced and high self-esteem had high achievement motivation and performed better in academics than those with negative self-esteem. Results further revealed that socio-economic status of family was strong predictor of self-esteem and achievement motivation of children.

    Assessment of nutritional status of anaemic pregnant women of Hisar and Fatehabad districts of Haryana
    (CCSHAU, 2017) Priyanka; Boora, Pinky
    Eight hundred fifty pregnant women were selected from the 6 villages (Bhojraj, Dahima, Kaimiri, Mirkan, Gunjar, Ladwa) of Hisar-I block and 6 villages (Chodhrywas, Kalwas, Balasmand, Bheria, Aryanagar, Dobhi) of Hisar-II block of Hisar district and 6 villages (Badopal, Chinder, Bhodia Khera, Kumharia, Dhanger, Kharakheri) of Fatehabad block and 6 villages (Kirdhan, Pilimandori, Bhattu Kalan, Bhattu Mandi, Thulan, Dhand) of Bhattu block of Fatehabad district of Haryana. Out of 850 pregnant women, screened for Hb level, 602 (70.82%) were found to be anaemic (<11g/100ml) 46.70 per cent from Hisar district and 53.29 per cent from Fatehabad district. Thus overall 70 per cent of the pregnant women were anaemic in four blocks of Hisar and Fatehabad districts. Results indicated significantly high prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women in rural areas of Haryana. Nutritional status of anaemic pregnant women was assessed using dietary survey (24h recall method), anthropometric measurements and clinical assessment which revealed that the food and nutrient intake was lower than the SDI and RDA among rural areas. Intake of cereals, pulses, fats and edible oils, green leafy vegetables, roots and tubers, other vegetables and fruits by respondents belonging to nuclear families was higher than those of respondents of joint families. The intake of cereals, milk and milk products was found to be increased with increased income of the family. Education of respondent influences the intake of food groups. Intake of energy and protein was higher by respondents of nuclear families. Intake of energy, fat, calcium, iron, β-carotene, thiamine, niacin, folic acid and vitamin B12 was found to be higher in the respondents whose average family income was Rs 18,000-27.000/month as the intake of pulses and milk products was higher by the respondents of nuclear families as compared to the respondents of joint families. The intake of food groups was higher among the respondents whose husband was engaged in service. Mean daily food and nutrient intake by respondents of Hisar district were found significantly (p≤0.01) lower as compared to Fatehabad district. Out of 300 hundred respondents, 200 respondents, 100 from Hisar and 100 from Fatehabad district were selected for imparting nutrition education and to assess food and nutrient intake. Nutrition education was imparted for a period of three months and gain in nutritional knowledge was assesed. The foods and nutrients intake of the respondents was increased significantly (p≤0.01) after imparting nutrition education. There is an urgent need to impart nutrition education to the pregnant mothers so that they can take balanced diet and improve health and nutritional status of future generation of country.

    Assessment of multiple Intelligence of school going boys
    (CCSHAU, 2017) Priyanka; Chhikara, Sudha
    A person can be most successful in a profession when the same is according to his or her abilities and interest. The different domains and disciplines valued by different cultures exert a tremendous influence over how one's intelligences develop, and to what extent they are mobilized. Focus these days is on designing educational experiences for students that demonstrate and explore how they are smart in the synergistic environment of a community of learners. The present study was accompanied with the aim of assessing the multiple intelligence levels of school going boys and to study the cultural differences in the levels. For this, 200 boys in age group of 6-8 years from rural and urban areas of Fatehabad district of Haryana state were selected. The data were collected with the help of standardized Multiple Intelligence Tool and a questionnaire for human ecological factors by Dabas, R. 2000. The results of the investigation elucidated that majority of the respondents were found to be having average levels of intelligence for all the nine components of multiple intelligence. Significant differences were observed in the mean scores of boys from urban area for linguistic, logical-mathematical, intrapersonal, naturalistic and existential intelligences whereas in rest of the intelligences i.e. Musical, Bodily Kinesthetic, Spatial, Interpersonal, no significant variations across rural and urban setting emerged. The results explained that all the aspects of multiple intelligence were significantly associated with human ecological factors of the respondents.
