Indian agriculture, albeit its status as the largest enterprise, has remained as an unorganized sector. Agricultural Situation in India has moved from an era of chronic shortage in food during the 1960s to a level of food-sufficiency, buffer stock and even exports of food from 1990s. To ascertain topmost priority to farm front, a high degree of emphasis was accorded towards developing national capacity wherein along with infrastructure, a far greater role of (i) agricultural higher education, (ii) research in agriculture, and (iii) agricultural extension has been continuously realized and emphasized. Besides, all-pervasive globalization forced us to a paradigm shift to the improvement of efficiency from enhancing production. In this backdrop, 13 chapters have been placed sequentially. The entire Volume thus provides insight into separate but interrelated aspects on AGRICULTURAL HIGHER EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND EXTENSION IN INDIA . It is assumed to be an authoritative outcome of much needed for recent time. Each aspect has been discussed with meticulous details and much precision.

Index. Of late the banking industry has undergone rapid changes followed by a series of fundamental developments. Most significant among them is the advancement in information technology as well as communication system. This has changed the very concept of traditional banking activities and has been instrumental behind broadening the dissemination of financial information along with lowering the costs of many financial activities. Information technology and communication networking systems have revolutionised the functioning of the banks. In the highly industrialised countries access to financial entities is on an online basis. Banks as well as other financial institutions in India have only recently entered the world of information technology and computer networking. Secondly increasing competition among a broad range of domestic and foreign institutions in product marketing area has become a prevalent practice. Thirdly in line with the increase in overall economic activities financial institutions too have modified themselves accordingly in all the spheres including customer services. Consequently the institutional and systematic structure of the financial sector in general and banking sector in particular has undergone drastic changes. Nowadays we see many changes in banking administration and customer service area.

Agricultural diversification is the urgent need of India particularly in the phase of globalisation. Globalisation has made the world very small. It has created very competitive atmosphere in various sectors of economy. In that context the Indian agriculture also has to face the challenges of different types of problems today particularly due to the tasks led by the globalisation. This book will be very informative for the researchers the agriculture scientists the teachers and students. The agricultural sector of India particularly the backward regions of eastern and north eastern India may be benefited by adopting measures mentioned in this book. 380 pp.

Agriculture continues to be an important sector fuelling economic growth. Rapidly changing climate is already affecting the production of food and feed, industrial crops, livestock, and seafood. In developing countries like India, agriculture and allied sectors contribute significantly to the gross domestic product. Therefore, evolving strategies to sustain a stable growth of the farming sector is essential for feeding a growing population and poverty alleviation in the face of global climate change. It is crucial to carry out a comprehensive analysis of different aspects of climate change to effectively combat its negative impacts on food production systems and landscapes and reap its potential benefits in agricultural production. Research findings and recommendations on topics as diverse as climate change impacts, genetic enhancement of crops, options for adaptation to climate change, opportunities and challenges for sustainable food production systems have been compiled in this volume. Capacity building for climate resilient agriculture and agriculture policy and planning is equally important to face future challenges. This book makes a compelling effort to address these major issues arising from climate change from an Indian perspective. The importa.

With the advent of new tools research on the structure and fuction of fish has made tremendous progress in the last few decades. An attempt to integrate the new information was started when the first volume edited by Prof. B.R. Singh was published in 1993. In the mean time the second and third volumes were published in 1997 and 2003 respectively. The fourth volume of the book includes research articles by well known authors on several subfields of fish biology including feeding ecology neurobiology population dynamics air breathing organs prostaglandins and sexual behaviour biometrics and reproductive biology etc. The book aims at providing up to date information on different aspect of fish biology with an indication of potential areas for future research. We are sure the book will cater to the needs of post graduate students research scholars and teachers interested in the fascinating field of fish biology. 312 pp.
