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.

    Social and Emotional Skills of Institutionalized Adolescents: An Action Research
    (CCSHAU, 2014) Renu Bala; Sangwan, Sheela
    The present study was conducted purposively in two institutions each from Haryana State and Delhi. Adolescents equally representing both the sexes i.e. 50 girls and 50 boys were selected on random basis from both the institutions. Hence, a total of 200 adolescents constituted the sample for the study to assess the existing social and emotional skills.The adolescents were further assigned to experimental (50) and control (50) group. Life Skills Assessment Scale (LSAS) developed by Nair.et al. (2010) was used to assess the social and emotional skills among the adolescents. Beck et al. (1996) was used to estimating depression among adolescents. Test-Anxiety Scale (TAS) developed by Sharma (1978) was used to measure the level of anxiety among the adolescents. A Life Stress Scale developed by Agarwal and Naidu (1986) was used to study the level of stress among the adolescents. After assessing the existing social and emotional skills of adolescents, results showed that the performances of boys and girls adolescents on all six dimensions of social and emotional skills were found in average level. Age, gender relationship with peers and teachers were found significantly associated with social and emotional skills among adolescents. Majority of adolescents had moderate level of depression, anxiety and stress and significant and negatively correlated with most of the social and emotional skills dimensions. To a large extent intervention program enhanced the social and emotional skills of institutionalized adolescents. There were significant improvements in the mean scores of adolescents after giving intervention program. Age and gender wise significant improvement was found in all six dimensions of social and emotional skills.

    Phosphorus uptake, yield and quality parameters in wheat (Triticum aestivum L)
    (CCSHAU, 2010) Renu Bala; Munjal, Renu
    The present experimentation was carried out on ten wheat genotypes namely WH-147, Raj-4083, WH-1021, WH-1022, WH-1025, LOK-1, NW-2030, C-306, PBW-343 and PBW-550 with three level of phosphorus i.e. 20%, 50% and 100% in order to identify the genotypes efficient in phosphrous uptake and utilization, the effect of phosphrous doses on quality parameters of wheat grains and the root morpho-physiological traits associated with efficient phosphors uptake. The investigation involved pot studies under screen house conditions during the year 2008-09.Data was recorded for dry weight of root,stem and leaves,physiological parameters(Chlorophyll fluorescence, Assimilation rate, Transpiration rate, Stomatal conductance, Water use efficiency ),days to heading, days to Anthesis, days to Maturity, Grain Filling duration, Plant Height, No. of productive tillers/plant, biomass/plant, Spike length, Grain yield/plant Test weight, Phosphorus cont Quality parameter in grain . In this study day to heading, anthesis, maturity and grain filling duration got delayed at low P level (20%) as compared to 100% P. Raj-4083, WH-1022, NW-2030, WH-1025, C-306, PBW-343 and PBW-550 showed significant difference for root, shoot and leaf dry weight at different level of phosphorus during anthesis stage. WH-147 and Raj-4083 was better in maintaining WUE at different P level. Acid and alkaline phosphate activity increased with decrease in the P. Activity of both enzymes was highest in NW-2030. For majority of the yield components the genotypes Raj-4083, WH-147, LOK-1, NW-2030 and PBW-550 performed better at different P levels. Among all these seedling characteristics root length root/ shoot dry weight and no. of secondary lateral roots increased at 20% P, but shoot length decreased at 20% P. No. of secondary lateral roots was found as major determinant of P deficiency.
