Exploring the Scope of Agro-based Industries in Manipur and the Miracle of Chakhao
Author’s Affiliation: Department of B.A. Program, Indraprastha College for Women, University of Delhi.
Abstract: This research contribution attempts to study the role that agro-based industry as well as multi-farming in improving the agricultural sector in Manipur, India. Till now, farmers in the remote North-eastern state of Manipur have been using traditional methods of farming. However, with increasing population and due to lack of awareness towards efficient utilization of land resource, farmers in the state are struggling to keep this sector sustainable. It is thus the need of the hour to make farming economically viable in Manipur so that the food supply in the region is not adversely affected. Manipur also produces several local and nutritious crops like black rice or chakhao, the commercial production of which could help turn around the farming sector in Manipur towards prosperity. The properties of the black rice and how its well-planned production can augment and improve the income of the state is discussed. Presence of rich nutrients and the medicinal properties of chakhao make it a good crop for the health-conscious citizens. However, there is need for generating awareness about this crop and a simultaneous requirement of incentives for the farmers who are growing black rice, before it can become a useful cash crop for Manipur.
Keywords: agro-based industry, black rice, chakhao, Manipur.

Seeding Social Innovation in Private Schools: A Case Study of St. Mary’s School, Delhi, India
Author Affiliation: Delhi School of Social Work, University of Delhi.
Abstract: Education has an important role in creating new learning opportunities and driving social progress. As social institutions, schools form a fundamental block to understand about life and society. While schools have done a good job in preparing students for life and society, newer challenges facing humanity have now emerged. How can schools meaningfully engage students on various pressing social issues and empower their students to take action on issues like environmental crisis, social injustice and developmental challenges? Current school curriculum does not provide adequate opportunities where students can experiment and explore these issues and look for solutions. Problem identifications and their solutions can be explored by creating an interface between community and school. This would create an open space for creativity and innovation amongst students to explore, develop and understand social issues. Such practices would further fuel the students to think and act to address social and environmental challenges. Such approach will pave the way for students to implement and share innovative solutions rather than simply limiting their knowledge to the classroom. This paper is an attempt to highlight the initiatives taken by St. Mary’s School (Delhi, India) under its social footprint projects and social innovation in the context of community engagement and emerging environmental issues.
Keywords: education, environment, innovation, school, society.

-
Authors’ Affiliation: Cluster Innovation Centre, University of Delhi.
Abstract: Delhi is well positioned in the tourism circuit. However, the heritage monuments are over-crowded especially during the weekends. The potential of weekly market (Hafta Bazaar) as a combination of cultural and heritage tourism is hitherto unexplored and can augment Delhi’s tourism space. This research contribution attempts to document the weekly markets of Delhi. Sunday Markets around Old Delhi have been identified and mapped since this is one part of the city visited by large number of tourist groups. Developing these markets for tourists, by combining their historical, cultural and architectural heritage, and addition of photography or culinary delicacies in these walks could open up a new avenue for the tourists as well as tour operators.
Keywords: hafta bazaar, heritage, Old Delhi, tourism.

SAR and Mobile Phone Radiation Hazard. How Aware are College Students in Delhi?
Author’s Affiliation: Department of Computer Science, Indraprastha College for Women, University of Delhi.
Abstract: Mobile phones have become the most common gadget in the world today and are found in the hands of students most of the time. With advancement in mobile technology, usage of mobile phones has increased significantly. Mobile phone functioning uses electromagnetic radiation in the microwave range, which may be harmful to human health. Research has focused on this aspect since the invention of mobile phones and there seems to be a consensus that mobile phone radiations have an impact on human beings. However, no concrete scientific assessment of the impact of mobile phone radiation (MPR) on human beings has been made available. As a result, impact of MPR on human health is a research area requiring greater investigation. The following research contribution attempts to assess the awareness of undergraduate student community about radiation threat posed by the usage of mobile phones. We find that while students are concerned about various specifications of their mobile phones, the knowledge and awareness about MPRs is wanting.
Keywords: mobile phone radiation, human health, student community.

Pregnancy in Women Above Age 35: An Emerging Concern for the Health Sector
Author’s Affiliation: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Lala Lajpat Rai Memorial Medical College, CCS University, Meerut, India.
Abstract: The development and growth of the Indian economy, along with the need and desire to work, are factors which are facilitating women to enter the workforce in large numbers. Women start working in formal workplaces anywhere between the age bracket of 21 and 26 years. The primary objective of most women in the next few years is to establish themselves in their respective fields. This very often leads to late marriages and delayed pregnancies. The latter are sometimes seen as hindrance to career advancement and are postponed until the third decade of a working woman’s life. This paper attempts to bring out the impacts of late pregnancy on the health of women and the fate of their children. The paper highlights the various pregnancy related risks to which women expose themselves by delaying pregnancy beyond 35 years. The need for raising awareness among young women about this issue and adopting women-friendly policies by workplaces has been found to be the need of the hour.
Keywords: maternal health, age, pregnancy risks, workplace.
