Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar
Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University popularly known as HAU, is one of Asia's biggest agricultural universities, located at Hisar in the Indian state of Haryana. It is named after India's seventh Prime Minister, Chaudhary Charan Singh. It is a leader in agricultural research in India and contributed significantly to Green Revolution and White Revolution in India in the 1960s and 70s. It has a very large campus and has several research centres throughout the state. It won the Indian Council of Agricultural Research's Award for the Best Institute in 1997. HAU was initially a campus of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. After the formation of Haryana in 1966, it became an autonomous institution on February 2, 1970 through a Presidential Ordinance, later ratified as Haryana and Punjab Agricultural Universities Act, 1970, passed by the Lok Sabha on March 29, 1970. A. L. Fletcher, the first Vice-Chancellor of the university, was instrumental in its initial growth.

KThesisItem Open Access Problems of Old Age and Related Factors in Urban Haryana(Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural Univesity, Hisar, 1998) Punia, Darshana; Punia, SAgeing is a phase of life and a biological process. Every organism that is born must age with time and decay. It has been described as the process of diminishing capacity to react to environmental conditions and weaving out of the body's basic mechanisms to withstand stress. In our society, old age is often regarded as a time when the vessel of life has become empty and a time when human development and human potentiality has come to an irreversible and inevitable halt. Aging is process which takes place during the entire life span of an organism. Though old age in man is often associated with disease, however, aging can never be regarded as synonymous with disease, loneliness and uselessness. The truth about aging is that it is a natural and universal process. It is not at all a crisis which hits us suddenly and abruptly in middle age, but it is a continuous unfolding cycle of change that begins to operate even before our birth.ThesisItem Open Access An Exploratory Study of Cognition and Selected Natural and Socio-Economic Factors of Rural Pre-School Children(Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural Univesity, Hisar, 1983) Bishnoi, Anushiya; Khalakdina, M.Cognition is the process of knowing. A person perceives or thinks about objects and events and his mental representation of these is known as cognition. It includes knowledge of the properties of objects and relationships among them. Some psychologists suggest that basic human concepts emerge from the interaction of innate capacities with environmental opportunities (Rower - 1974). Nutrition is necessary before innate capacities can be activated. The environment, however, must provide opportunities. for experiences that activate the capacities and determine their further development. Environment is, therefore, considered as an important factor in the the of an individual among the many features of the child's environment, nutrition has been accepted as a pre-requisite for optimal growth and development. In recent years, nutrition as a public policy issue has become a priority area as it relates to the social, political and economic development of a country. Nutrition is a basic need for human growth. The prevalence of malnutrition is high in developing countries According to the 1971-72 National Sample Survey about 57 per cent people in the rural areas are found to be below tile prescribed caloric intake (UNICEF,1981).ThesisItem Open Access A Comparative Study of Knowledge and Attitude of Rural and Urban High School Boys and Girls Regarding Family Planning(Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural Univesity, Hisar, 1984) Malhotra, Rashmi; Nath, MIndia·s population policy stands somewhere between the pessimistic prediction of the Neo-Malthusians that mankind. particularly the third world. is heading for a major disaster if population continued to grow at the present pace and the assumption of the structuralists who as Epstein are convinced that the earth's resources are sufficient to cope with any size of population. provided society can be restructured in such a way as to ensure the universal application of ever advancing technological progress. ~he census of India shows that population of India is 683.810,051. India has neither the physical resources nor the organisational machinery Social, political and economic to control such a huge mass of population. At present there is an urgent need for uplifting 325 million persons living below the poverty line especially in rural areas (Simat, 1982). In spite of the various developmental programmes this change cannot be met if population continues to grow so rapidly.ThesisItem Open Access Development and nutritional evaluation of value added products from mothbean [Vigna aconitifolia (Jacq.) Marechal](CCSHAU, 2004) Dahiya, Deepti; Boora, PinkyValue added matthi, papad, wadi, biscuit, sev and noodles were prepared using mothbean (varieties RMO-423 and RMO-435), fenugreek (variety Hisar Sonali) and spinach (variety S-23) in different proportions. The most acceptable ones were analysed for their nutritional value and shelf value. Chemical analysis of raw ingredients and the products prepared was done for their proximate composition, sugars, β-carotene, in vitro protein and starch digestibility, bioavailability of minerals and for antinutrients. Matthiprepared by supplementation with mothbean, fenugreek and spinach were found better for their protein, fat, ash, fibre, total calcium, iron and zinc content. However, the supplementation also increased the antinutrients significantly. Fenugreek and spinach also increased β-carotene content in matthi and all other products. In vitro protein digestibility of supplemented matthiincreased significantly. Proximate composition, protein and starch digestibility and HCl-extractability of minerals of supplemented papadwas similar to that of control. However, antinutritional factors calcium and iron content were increased on supplementation with mothbean, fenugreek and spinach. Protein content in wadi increased with mothbean. Fenugreek and spinach increased antinutrients ash, fibre, calcium and β-carotene content in wadi. Protein and starch digestibility were at par with control. HCl-extractability of calcium increased in supplemented wadi. Proximate composition of biscuits was found improved in all combinations for protein, ash, fibres, calcium and iron. Antinutrients increased while protein and starch digestibility decreased significantly in supplemented biscuits. HCl-extractability of calcium, iron and zinc increased after supplementation. Supplemented sev were found better in their proximate composition. Antinutrients were found increased in sevsupplemented with fenugreek and spinach. Mineral content and their HCl-extractability increased after supplementation of sev. Proximate composition and sugar content were not changed in case of noodles after supplementation. Protein and starch digestability also remained unchanged. Calcium, iron and their HCl-extractability were found increased. Shelf life of biscuits and matthi was found quite satisfactory upto one month. It was good for papad, wadi, sevand noodles even upto two months. Fresh fenugreek and spinach leaves may be converted into dry powder which may be used round the year for preparing different value added products in combination with mothbean. Supplemented products have better acceptability due to their better nutritional quality. Therefore these value added products should be included in the diet of vulnerable groups due to their better nutritional quality.
