Economic impacts of rural tourism in Madhya Pradesh

The purpose of this study is to determine how rural tourism impacts the economy of Madhya Pradesh. The economic impacts can be measured through GDP growth, employment growth, infrastructure growth, etc. GDP was considered in this study to measure the economic impacts. The data for GDP and foreign tourism was taken to check if tourism has positive or negative economic impacts. It is hypothesized that tourism has a positive impact on the economy. According to many researchers, tourism, especially foreign tourism, significantly impacts the economy of the destination. Researchers argue that employment opportunities and trading are directly linked to tourism. Employment and trading opportunities increase with tourism. Regression analysis was conducted in this study to test the economic impacts of tourism in Madhya Pradesh. The results showed that tourism has significant economic impacts on Madhya Pradesh. This paper concludes that rural tourism has positive economic impacts on Madhya Pradesh.

Composition of elements, oxides and physical properties of meteorites

Three Iron meteorites, namely Sikhote Alin, Campo-del-Cielo, unknown and one stony meteorite Chelyabinsk, were investigated to study their elemental composition, oxide composition and physical parameters in detail and to confirm their originality. XRF analysis carried out for Iron meteorites showed that they contain above 90% Fe and Ni above 4% with other elements in minor quantities and stony meteorite major component showed SiO₂, and Fe₂O₃, with other components in minor quantities. The physical parameters carried out, the images of meteorites in the figures and analysis through XRF, showed that the samples under study are meteorites in origin. This paper reports the work carried out to study the meteorites and their physical properties, and to put on record their elemental composition, their physical properties and through this work to confirm their originality as meteorites on prima facial basis. A standardless approach has been adopted.

Comparison of the physiological responses and distance walked during 6-minute walk test on level ground and on a treadmill in normal healthy middle age group individuals

Ageing changes in the cardiovascular, respiratory, central nervous system and musculoskeletal systems etc results in an overall reduction of functional capacity, which may affect daily activities in middle age group individuals. So assessment of functional capacity is an important aspect in this population group. The 6 Minute walk test is extensively being used to assess the functional capacity as it is more reflective of activities of daily living than the other walk tests and it is easy to administer and better tolerated. Treadmills can be an efficient, and space-saving alternative for performing the standard 6 MWT, as it saves the space, and enables constant hemodynamic surveillance that is necessary for the safety test performance, and will also minimize the errors in calculating the various parameters during the 6MWT. The aim of the study: This study is aimed at comparing the physiological responses and the distance walked during the 6MWT on level ground (LG) and on a treadmill (TM) in normal healthy middle age group individuals. The results showed a statistically significant increase in blood pressures, heart rate, respiratory rate and RPE on Borg’s scale (P < 0.001) and, statistically significant decrease in six-minute walk distance (P < 0.001) after the TM 6MWT as compared to the LG 6MWT. The present study was attempted to analyze the comparative effects of TM 6MWT and LG 6MWT on physiological responses and distance walked in healthy middle group individuals. There was a significant increase in physiological responses from the baseline after TM 6MWT as compared to LG 6MWT in healthy middle group individuals. There was a significant decrease in 6-minute walk distance after TM 6MWT as compared to LG 6MWT in healthy middle group individuals.

Determinants for success of community-based rural tourism: Review of related literatures

The purpose of this paper is to establish a concept of the role of Community-Based Rural Tourism (CBRT) in community development and the significance of Community Participation in order to bring a change in community socioeconomic status through active involvement in community-based rural tourism. The paper pointed out several factors which determine the meaningful and active participation of community members in Community-based rural tourism based on extensive review of related literature. Moreover, the paper articulated the factors which point out the need for collaboration with stakeholders and the importance of tourist satisfaction in ensuring long term benefits through community-based rural tourism. The present paper will be quite helpful in establishing the concept of interdependence between CBRT and community participation, CBRT and tourist satisfaction, CBRT and environment conservation, CBRT and stakeholder collaboration, and the concept of using CBRT as an instrument for community development.

Automatic fuel filling system

Recently fuel stations are controlled manually. These fuel stations consume more time and it also requires manpower to operate. Day by day there is rapid growth in the number of vehicles and machines in today’s advanced and automated world. The requirement of fuel is also increasing day by day because of vehicles and machines totally depend on fuel. A consumer needs to wait in the queue as there is a rush at the fuel station especially at the gas pumps it is very common. The fuel station in our countries is more time consuming which causes a waste of time. In this project, we developed an automated fuel station management system which can overcome the disadvantages of the present system. The result of this methodology places cashless transactions and authenticated system It will adversely affect the financial status of our country. Can help fuel stations to become faster and less time-consuming. Also, a system is developed in the vehicles to measure the quantity of fuel filling in the vehicle's tank. The required quantity of fuel is typed using the keypad. The amount typed is sent to the pump system through data modem and the corresponding fuel for that price will vend to the vehicle's tank. The amount debited and the balance amount is sent to the users mobile through GSM. In case of any emergency in pump GSM send SMS to authority.

Status, importance, prospects, and vision of organic farming in India

India produces a large variety of food crops including cereals, pulses, and oilseeds. In the name of increased productivity, indiscriminate application of an enormous quantity of chemical fertilizers is being followed keeping the health factor at bay. Hence an alternative method of farming is of urgent need which could satisfy the needs of increased food production as well as providing security against any potential health problem. Organic farming has been proved as a solution to both of these problems. Also since the need for the pre-requisites for organic farming is less as compared to chemical farming, therefore, in a country like India where the agriculture is highly influenced by the vagaries of various biotic and abiotic factors, organic farming is capable enough to provide economic security to the mediocre farmers as well. However, with the policies implemented by the government of India to encourage organic farming regarding the commencement, implementation and the marketing of organic food products as well as the increasing demand of the organic products in the domestic as well as international market, there is ample scope for organic food industries to expand and generate revenue for strengthening the Indian economy.
