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.

ThesisItem Open Access Use of molecular markers for varietal identification and assessing phylogenetic status of Basmati rice in genus Oryza sativa L.(CCSHAU, 2011) Jyoti; Jain, SunitaMolecular markers provide novel tools for varietal identification, diversity analysis and assessing phylogenetic relationships among various rice groups in genus Oryza. A set of 50 rice genotypes comprising of seven japonica rice varieties, six traditional Basmati, thirteen cross-bred Basmati and 24 indica rice varieties was investigated using 54 markers (28 on chromosome 8 and 26 on rest of the chromosomes); data obtained has been used to assess the phylogenetic status of Basmati rice in genus Oryza sativa L. A total of 217 alleles were detected, with an average of 4.01 alleles per locus. Number of alleles per locus (3.5 alleles) for markers on chromosome 8 was less than the mean value (4.58 alleles) based on 26 SSR markers on rest of eleven chromosomes of rice. Eleven of these alleles were unique, present in only one genotype. Null allele was observed at only one locus (RM408) in Super Basmati. The number and size of alleles and Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) values ranged between 2-7, 83-381 bp and 0.074-0.810, respectively. An average PIC of 0.55 per locus was obtained, which confirms that markers used in this study were highly informative. Genetic relationships generated using the whole genome marker data as well as allelic profile on chromosome 8 and rest of eleven chromosomes separately placed 50 rice genotypes in three distinct clusters. Seventeen of the nineteen Basmati rice varieties (except two cross-bred Basmati rice varieties, Sabarmati and Improved Sabarmati) formed a separate cluster quite distinct from the indica and japonica rice clusters. Interestingly, mean similarity indices obtained from chromosome 8 dataset placed Basmati rice cluster at equal distance from japonica and indica rice types. However, whole genome as well as rest of the genome marker datasets placed Basmati group closer to indica rice varieties than japonica. Chromosome 8 dataset showed a positive correlation (Mantel test, r = 0.631) with the rest of the genome dataset, indicating a higher level of similarity between the two. All the traditional and crossbred Basmati rice varieties and two aromatic japonica varieties shared the same BAD2 alleles at the aroma locus, indicated the distinctness of the aroma locus. While the present study gives support to the hypothesis that japonica genotypes may have contributed towards the evolution of chromosome 8 or a part of chromosome 8 in Basmati rice, it also indicate the active flow of genes from indica rices during the course of parallel evolution in northern Indian sub-continent. The study also demonstrates the distinctness of TB from other rice types (indica and japonica) and also provides a number of novel SSR markers which can be used to differentiate within/among the various rice groups at commercial level. It was observed that the amplified products differing in ≥12bp can be separated on 3% agarose gels for varietal identification in Basmati rice, which is faster, much cheaper and relatively simple method compared to the advanced molecular methods already available for the purpose.ThesisItem Open Access Use Of Molecular Markers For Warietal Identification And Assessing Phylogenetic Status Of Basmati Rice In Genus Oryza Sativa L.(Department Of Biochemistry College Of Basic Sciences And Humanities CCS Haryana Agricultural University : Hisar, 2010) Jyoti; Jain,Sunita.ThesisItem Open Access Protective clothing for textile industrial workers(CCSHAU, 2010) Jyoti; Pruthi, NeelamTextile industry is known as backbone of Indian economy also provide several threats to its workers, while performing various activities. All the health problems can be solved by variety of method and use of appropriate protective clothing is one of effective method to prevent the workers from being exposed to health problem. To achieve the objectives of he study, it was inducted in two phases. In phase 1 to develop protective clothing for workers of textile industry and to assess their suitability and acceptability Delhi cloth Mill of Hisar and Bhiwani textile mill of Bhiwani were selected. Hundred respondents from different section of textile industry were selected to gather information regarding health and clothing related problems. In second phase protective clothing were designed. The sketched designs were evaluated by Judges and two designs of each article were selected for construction. Protective clothing/accessories selected were: Beak shape mask, cap mask, hood masks, scarf mask, shirt (Male) coverall for male, coverall for female, waist level apron, foot cover and foot cover with pajama. The selected articles were stitched and each article was given to five respondents for three trials. After three trial, suitability and acceptability was assessed. The result highlighted that scarf mask, hood mask for female and cap mask, hood mask for male was found suitable as these gave protection against fiber dust stick on head, neck and inhalation of fiber dust particles. But acceptability of scarf mask for female and cap mask for male was highly acceptable as compared to hood mask because of excessive heat in the industry and with the use of hood mask identification of the workers is difficult. Coverall with Chinese collar, pockets and elastic at wrist level in sleeves was found to be highly suitable and acceptable as compared to waist level apron, while male shirt with Chinese collar, elasticized cuff, pockets in front were found highly suitable and better than coverall. In case of pajama with foot cover and knee length foot cover, knee length foot cover was fond to be highly suitable and acceptable as compared to pajama with foot cover.ThesisItem Open Access Internet use pattern among college students: Gender analysis(CCSHAU, 2014) Jyoti; Batra, AshaThe present study was conducted in Hisar district of Haryana State was selected purposively. Simple random sampling was applied to select 100 boys and 100 girls students. The findings revealed that majority of male respondents accessed computer as compare to female and they accessed computer from more than 2 years. One third of male and half female respondents accessed internet connection on their computer. Male respondents used BSNL internet connection and female respondents used Vodafone internet connection and both male and female respondents liked wireless internet connection. Majority of male respondents were the independent decision maker in purchase of internet and spend more money on internet as compare to female respondents. Male respondents were most frequent users of internet for e-learning, assignment preparation, research purpose, job seeking and internet banking. Female respondents used internet most frequently for educational, chatting, e-mail services, different social networking sites and online shopping.
