Coping Strategies of students of High School and College for Anxiety During the Pandemic
Covid-19 pandemic has affected people across the globe who have experienced lockdowns, restrictions, social distancing which has impacted their psychological and mental health. Coping strategies are a cognitive and behavioural effort made by individuals to deal with challenges presented by stressful situations. This study attempts to understand the coping strategies commonly adopted by students. This study examines three different coping strategies-problem solving, seeking social behaviour and avoidance adopted by high school and college students, during the pandemic. The study tries to understand the types of coping strategies adopted by students to deal with the stressful situation and how they use ‘coping with hope’ as a coping strategy. Further, the study aims to understand whether the coping strategies are more problem solving focussed or more avoidance focussed during the pandemic for the high school and college students. 98 students were selected based on random stratified sampling and snow ball sampling techniques from Delhi Public School, Gurgaon, India. The questionnaire used for the study was based on Coping Strategy Indicator developed by Dr. James H. Amir Khan along with a self-designed questionnaire to understand the nature of activities indulged in by the subjects and their attitude towards coping with hope. Pandemic has led to an increase in stress and a higher emotional oriented coping. Family and social support helped to reduce avoidance oriented coping. The findings of the study show that during the pandemic students adopted higher avoidance coping strategy than problem solving and seeking social support coping strategy.

Charging station infrastructure and its management
Due to increasing pollution, global warming, and various environmental problems, 21st-century people are moving toward hybrid and electric vehicles. The electric vehicle is the combination of two or more fields of engineering such as mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineering. Electric Vehicles powered by an Electric Motor which draws current from a rechargeable The battery is termed an Electric Vehicle. The electric vehicle replaces IC engine vehicle in such a way that engines are replaced by an electric motor and rechargeable batteries. These vehicles have a good scope in future due to scarcity of fossil fuel because most of the vehicle i.e. 90% of vehicle depends upon fossil fuel to run the vehicle. Some other alternatives are carried out in today life is running the vehicle from electricity. In India, the electric vehicles had been published but charging stations are not organized completely like petrol pumps in every street/landmark/area. So are first step is to decide infrastructure of charging station and its management. Because it is not to introduce the electric vehicle it is also necessary to develop the charging station source in every street and area as like petrol pump and also some other alternatives about charging the vehicle is also important in emergency cases or some other reason. If the infrastructure of the charging station and its management well settled and executed then the only electric vehicles will be a wide change in the society in terms of environment and saving of the fossil fuel.

Apex Predator Conservation through Ecosystem Service valuation
Large predators are the most well-known type of animals around the world, ranging from tigers, lions, bears and wolves who roam terrestrial ecosystems, to sea otters and nile crocodiles who maunder aquatic ecosystems. Despite their ubiquitous popularity, their populations are in imminent danger. Large carnivore and predator populations are experiencing a precipitous decline which can lead to a colossal imbalance in ecosystems. Over the past two centuries, predators have experienced geographic range contractions, fragmentation of habitat, and loss of individuals through hunting. This literature review analyzes and explains how the decline in large carnivore and predator populations can lead to indirect consequences within and across ecosystems. Using an ecosystem services valuation approach, this paper demonstrates how large predator conservation is not only economically justified, but imperative for widespread ecosystem stability.

Experimental analysis of rooftop solar PV modules installation in educational premises
Photovoltaic module solar energy is a renewable source of energy that uses solar radiation to produce electricity. It is worked on the so-called photoelectric effect, by which semiconductor materials are able to absorb photons (light particles) and release electrons, generating an electric current in form of Direct Current. Which then converted into Alternative current with the help of alternator. There is notable research is going on to use various Straight PV Modules and their types of System on the basis of their operation as alternative of electricity. Solar power systems derive clean, pure energy from the sun. Traditional electricity is sourced from fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas. Installing solar panels on home, Educational Institute and open spaces helps combat greenhouse gas emissions and reduces our collective dependence on fossil fuel. In present assessment Installation of roof top solar PV modules for reducing Electricity bill by using On-grid power system by net metering. Here energy generated by this solar pv module solar plant is transmitted to the electricity power grid and on compensation from electricity board Electricity bill reduces to minimum or extra arears provided to consumer. In traditional way to production of electricity fossil fuels is used which continues to rise producing high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) which climatologists believe is a major cause of global warming. Similarly, electricity from various Electricity Boards and manufactures hikes their prices by day by day which is affect the unbalanced in the cost and profits of the individuals and its show the impact on social economic life of the persons. Whereas solar energy which is get from Sun is in bulk and its cost nothing. Initial Cost and maintenance cost is low as compare to other source energy.

Carbon sequestration potential of silvicultural and horticultural tree species under different multitier cropping systems
Agroforestry plays a better role in increasing agricultural productivity by nutrient recycling, reducing soil erosion, and improving soil fertility and enhancing farm income compared with conventional crop production. Furthermore, it has promising potentials for reducing deforestation while increasing food, fodder, and fuelwood production. Agroforestry practices can reduce the atmospheric concentration of CO2 by increasing carbon storage in biomass, decreasing emission at source and modifying agricultural practices to increase the quantity of carbon stored in soil organic matter. The natural cycling of the carbon is maintained and controlled by a dynamic balance between biological and inorganic processes since the geological history of the earth. In the terrestrial ecosystem, carbon is sequestered in rocks and sediments, wetlands and forests, and in the soils of forestland, grasslands and agricultural land. In this paper, the estimation of the biomass and carbon sequestration rates of silvicultural and horticultural tree species under Horti-silviculture and Agri-Horti-Silviculture agroforestry system has been done. This investigation is proof to substantiate the fact that adoption of agroforestry techniques/systems is not only beneficial to farmers from their economic perspective but at the same time agroforestry systems helps to reduce global warming and rejuvenate the earth’s atmosphere. In four years of study carbon sequestered in the following manner: Grevillea robusta > Dalbergia sissoo > Syzygium cumini> Mangifera indica> Anacardium occidentale > Eucalyptus globules. When compared according to silvicultural and horticultural categories it Syzygium cumini was found most efficient among horticultural tree species while Grevillea robusta was most efficient among selected tree species.
