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 testing of electronic media on beekeeping(CCSHAU, 2006) Asrani, Shalini; Kaushik, SushmaThe present study was conducted in Hisar District of Haryana state. A total of 100 respondents including trained men, trained women, untrained men and untrained women (25 each) constituted sample for the study. A set of 21 independent variables and 3 dependent variables was used in the study. On the basis of weighted mean scores, ten messages were selected for preparation of interactive CD ROM with printed material and a video film on beekeeping. The effectiveness of media was assessed on selected parameters by exposing it to 30 judges comprising scientists/extension workers and teachers. The prepared media was also exposed to 30 rural respondents (15 men and 15 women) selected randomly from earlier selected respondents. Impact of media was assessed through pre and post exposure knowledge scores of the respondents on the selected messages. The collected data was quantified and interpreted by using suitable statistical tools. Socio-personal profile of the respondents revealed that majority of respondents belonged to middle age group, having medium caste, joint families of medium size with medium level of personal as well as family education. Majority of respondents had farming as their own and family occupation. Communication profile of respondents revealed that majority of respondents had low level of mass media exposure, medium to low extension contacts and medium social participation. Majority of respondents had high economic motivation, medium risk orientation and medium change proneness. Women were found to have lesser awareness and knowledge about beekeeping than men and perceived training duration and coverage as less adequate, training contents as less relevant and less motivating. Economic enablers (52%) were perceived as highest by the respondents while technical constraints were the most important constraints faced by respondents (50.4%). Attributes of beekeeping inferred that beekeeping technology was perceived as very easy to understand and use, profitable, physically compatible, observable and less risky. The results revealed that beekeeping adoption had increased considerably in last 5 years and most of the beekeepers were having between 30 and 50 boxes. Eighty eight per cent beekeepers did not take any loan. Apis mellifera was the only bee species being kept by the farmers. Majority of beekeepers had sufficient flora for beekeeping and most of them had good infrastructure facilities. Majority of beekeepers obtained their bee colonies from progressive beekeepers. Eighty four per cent beekeepers had their own beekeeping equipments and the management practices followed by them were almost appropriate. The cost benefit analysis revealed that bigger farmers were earning more profit as compared to small farmers. The interactive CD Rom was found to be effective for all the selected parameters. The quality parameters of video film prepared on "Beekeeping" were perceived quite high by a large majority of respondents. Majority of respondents, both male and female, who had low to medium pre exposure knowledge scores reached to medium to high level after exposure to media. The ‘t’ test values indicated that significant gain in knowledge was attained by respondents for most of the messages after exposure to media.ThesisItem Open Access Procurement and utilization of credit facilities by rural women in Hisar district(CCSHAU, 2007) Raksha; Goel, RitaAround the world, women’s economic conditions are adversely affected by their lack of access to productive resources. A women’s economic position directly affects her ability to purchase, needed improvements in health, housing and education for herself and her family, her position and bargaining power in the family and community as well as her ability to act against violence in her home and her world. Credit being an entry point for development, increased access to credit for women is justified on all three grounds of equity, need and prudent banking. Though credit was recognized as an important plank of strategy for women in development right from 1975, no full proof credit system is yet developed, for delivering credit to poor women for self employment or enterprise development. To understand the credit behaviour of women, the present study was conducted in Hisar district, Haryana state. A sample of 100 rural women who procured credit was selected randomly to know the procurement, utilization and repayment pattern of credit. Personal, economic, communication and psychological variables were taken as independent variables, whereas, knowledge about the credit agencies, procurement of the credit, utilization of the credit and repayment of the credit were studied as dependent variables. The background information of the respondents revealed that majority of them were middle aged, illiterate, belonged to medium caste, had small nuclear family , medium family education status, agriculture as main family occupation. Low income, and land holding and herd size. They had low to medium communication and psychological profile. Study revealed that majority get information about credit from the neighbours, relatives and friends. Maximum credit was given by the State Bank of India and the scheme was Haryana Women Development Cooperation (HWDC). Cent per cent respondents conceptualized credit as a help to rural masses and the main reason for the procurement of credit was starting entrepreneurship. Majority completely utilized the credit but do not repay at time due to natural calamities. The overall constraints faced by respondents in procurement was educational, for utilization, it was insufficient amount and for repayment, communication was the major constraint. For constraints, they suggested that there should be awareness programme, procurement procedure should be easy, interest rate should be low etc. Occupation, risk orientation and economic motivation were significantly associated with the procurement behavior and innovation proneness was significantly associated with the repayment behavior of the respondents.
