Healthy nutrition environments in schools. Nutrition information and counselling in health care and national physical activity guidelines. Objectives: The study aimed to determine the level of knowledge regarding the prevention of non-communicable diseases. To determine the association between knowledge regarding prevention of NCDs with selected socio-demographic variables. To develop and provide the information booklet for prevention of non– communicable diseases (NCDs) to the students of selected schools of district Sirmour. Method: Descriptive research design was adopted to collect data from 380 students of the selected schools of District Sirmour (H.P.) using the convenient sampling technique. Data was collected by knowledge questionnaire. Result: Result revealed that the present study findings showed that 87.9% of the students were having average knowledge, 9.5% were having poor knowledge and 2.6% were having good knowledge. There is significant association between age, gender, type of family, residence, family history of any NCDs. p-value <0.05 level of significant. Conclusion: The study concluded that most of the students had average knowledge, which needs to be increased. With regard to this view, an information booklet was given to the study students.

Experimental investigation compressive behaviour of strawbale bricks
The strawbale house can be one of the best alternatives for the country like India where agriculture is still the main source of income. It is obvious that people want to live in eco-friendly houses making it as a part of environment and their life. The strawbale houses are effective in cost with high health value, aesthetic value, thermal performance, fire resistance, light weight and ecofriendly in nature. We can go with the various techniques of construction as load bearing strawbale construction or non-load bearing strawbale construction as per the circumstances. It can be one of the best alternatives for all kind of people for constructing an economic building with a sustainable material. This project gives in brief, the result of the compression strength, absorption test, impact test, hardness test on the strawbale bricks. This project includes the compression testing machine to determine the crushing strength and weighing machine to determine the weight of the bricks.
