    Socio-Economic Factors Affecting Mate Selection
    (Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural Univesity, Hisar, 1980) Jain, Manjusha; Sharma, M. L.
    All societies consider married life the most desirable type of existence for adults. Marriage is a legally and socially sanctioned union between one or more husbands and one or more wives that accord status to their off-springs and is regulated by laws, rules, customs, beliefs and attitudes that prescribe the rights and duties of the partners. The Universality marriage within different societies and cultures is attributed to the many basic social and personal functions it performs, such as procreation and prevision !or sexual gratification and regulation, care of children and their education and socialization, regulation of lines or descent, division of labor between the sexes, economic production and consumption and provision tor satisfaction of personal needs for affection, status and companionship. The kinds of institutions and customs that a society develops to fulfill these functions depend on a number or characteristics, as size and complexity of a society, level of economic development, form of kinship system and the nature of economic, political and religious institutions. That's why, the Marriage Pattern in the Western countries is quite different from that of the Eastern countries. In Western countries one of the most unique feature of mate selection is the importance of apparently irrational factor, romantic love, which tells something about their attraction and emotions, little about their compatibility. Lavs and customs also alike are based upon dreams of spinsters, the result has been an extreme prevalence of divorce and an extreme rarity of happy marriages. This type of mate-selection system in Western countries is not coming from the ancient time but it is the product of social changes and a.. mere fact of equality among both sexes. Ideals of marriage are all constantly changing into entirely new forms, in response to general changes in the social environment.

    Knowledge Attitude and Performance of Rural Development Functionaries Towards Population Education.
    (Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural Univesity, Hisar, 1980) Pasrija, Pushpa; Sharma, M. L.
    From ancient time man has reproduced himself at such a pace that earth long ago would have become entirely uninhabitable and homosapiens probably extinct of high mortality had not balanced the fertility. Illness and famine neutralized the high birth rates; war functioned as a further regulator. The Global increase in population Was, therefore, extremely slow until modern time. As they begin to experience the effects of modernization, improvements in nutritional and health standards reduce mortality while fertility remains high and rapid growth ensures. Population problems formally originated in 1798 with an essay on the Principles of Population, by economist Thomas Malthus, Who hypothesized that while technological improvements in productive capacity increase only arithmetically , population size increase geometrically. As a result, population always tend to out strip the weans of subsistence, Until very recently the world's population increased almost imperceptibly. By about the beginning of the Christian era, the earth may have supported 250 million people, but another 1650 years ~ere required for the population to reach an estimated half billion. It took only 200 years more to double that figure, however, and only 80 years more to double it again and reach two billion, the earth 1 s population in 1930. The present total of 3.9 billion may be doubled in only 37 years. This population increase has taken place mostly in Asia, Africa and La.tin America and India is the second most populated, country in the world.
