This study attempts to present the analogies developed by prospective classroom teachers in science and technology training and to bring out their abilities of displaying the relationship between the target and the source. This study is carried out by case study approach with the prospective teachers in 2008-09 education term. They are asked to develop analogies in science and technological subjects after given literature and technological information about analogies. It is determined that the analogies analyzed according to some criteria have been well-developed correctly relating to make the relationship clear between the compared concepts and the concepts to be given. The findings of semi-structured interview made with 10 prospective teachers support that as well. However, in some findings, some analogies that may lead to conceptual misunderstandings and cases where technique of analogy and technique of the experiment are confused are found as well.

Indian J Dryland agric Res Dev 2010, 25(2), 105-9.

The field experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of released/ promising safflower genotypes to drought tolerance. The experiment was grown under two conditions stress and non-stress. The moisture stress was induced by sowing the crop with double spacing (45 x 10 cm) and non-stress by normal spacing (45 x 20). Out of ten genotypes tested the genotypes viz., A-1, Bhima, PENS-12, NARI-6, Phule Kusuma, AKSF-68 and GMU-499 were found promising to drought under stress condition on the basis of drought indices viz., RLWC, DSI, DTE/I, HI, Percent reduction in yield and chlorophyll content. The lower values of drought susceptibility index, The higher values of relative water content (RLWC), drought tolerant efficiency/index (DTE/ I), harvest index, total chlorophyll content were recognized as beneficial drought tolerant indicators and may be used as selection criteria in safflower breeding programme.

Retailing is very important sector in our country's economy as 8% of work force is engaged in this sector and 10% of our G.D.P comes from retailing. Retail outlets emerge in the more accessible part of the urban or semi-urban area to provide goods or services to its hinterland people. Conflict between small and organized retail outlets is a burning issue in our country. The pattern of needs and demands of common people has been changed due to the wave of liberalization, globalization and privatization. Thus retail outlets are also changing themselves. Through the present work it has been tried to examine the general profile of retail outlets and impact of globalization and organized retail outlets on small outlets in Burdwan town.

However far the technology may go, it is the man behind the machine who will continue to be the driving force. So, even in this era of technology management, each country has to develop its human resource through appropriate systems of education to express and provide its unique socio-cultural identity and also to meet the challenges of the times. It is an accepted principle that investment in human resource development is the key capital of a nation and in this effort not only the government but also the industry has to care and share the human resource development (HRD) obligations. It is on this count that serious and dedicated efforts should be made to develop human resource of par excellence so as to exploit opportunities that globalization has provided.

Indo-Gangetic plains (IGP) region occupying a vast area over the states of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal in India is generally characterized by fertile soils, favourable climate and an abundant supply of water for agricultural production system. Agricultural factor productivity change indicates the sustainability and vulnerability of food security for the growing population. Analysis of factor productivity and yield gaps is needed for implication of policy formation regarding security of food system. This paper discusses factor productivity trends and yield gaps which are the keys to determine agricultural inputs use efficiency. Analysis of data revealed that the total factor productivity (TFPs) of rice, wheat, maize and mustard increased, although partial factor productivity (PFPs) of the crops for fertilizers and manures, irrigation and pesticides are in declining trend over the last decade in the Karnal district. The production can be increased by reducing yield gaps (attainable minus actual yields) viz. 48, 30, 35 and 52 % for rice, wheat, maize and mustard, respectively.

Proc XVI Natn Con Prod Engr-Emerging Trends in Mfg 2002, (Jan 19-20), 47-51.

One of the major emphasis by Total productive Maintenance (TPM) concept is the involvement of human resources in maintenance quality improvement projects. For example TPM concepts envisage the creation of self-ownership feeling in the minds of employers. Likewise, suggestion statement is suggested as a technique to involve employees in TPM programmes. In order to exercise these techniques and models in TPM projects employees must be psychologically enthused. This is possible by applying suitable counselling techniques in TPM programmes. In order to exercise these techniques and models in TPM projects. However, no TPM researcher and practitioner have so far emphasised the role of counselling for maintenance quality improvement. In order to overcome this deficiency, a strategy titled as `Maintenance Quality Counselling' was included in Strategic Maintenance Quality Engineering (SMQE) model and its practical feasibility was explored. The details of this module of this research work are presented.
