Abstract: With the increase in rate of global warming, environmental planning and management has become an indispensable concern. Environmental planning is the process of facilitating decision making to carry out development with the consideration given to the natural environmental, social, political, economic and governance factors and provides a holistic frame work to achieve sustainable outcomes. The present paper deals with the alternative method of acquiring electricity as the environmental impact of electricity generation is significant because modern society uses large amounts of electrical power. This power is normally generated at power plants that convert some other kind of energy into electrical power. Each system has advantages and disadvantages, but many of them pose environmental concerns.

Abstract:Modern era is the age of technology. Lifestyle of human being is mobilized and controlled by
electrical and electronic gadgets. All the domestic appliances consume energy .The amount of consumption
depends on climate, type and handling methods of appliances. Judicious use of this domestic energy can reduce
environmental pollution as there is large emission of pollutants from fuel.

This way just by decreasing the unwanted use of electricity during day time, switching off lights, Fans
etc. when leaving the room and realizing the importance of energy conservation would only leave HAPPY AND
FLUROSCENT FUTURE FOR NEXT GENERATION.

Abstract: Watershed is not only the hydrological unit but it is also related with the socio-political-ecological factors which plays crucial role in determining food, social, and economical security and provides life support services to rural people of any country. The Watershed Development Programme (WDP) initially envisaged as a measure for poverty alleviation and improved livelihoods has gained even greater importance in light of the worldwide recognition of its effectiveness in combating climatic change. The criteria for selecting watershed size also depends on the objectives of the development and terrain slope. A large watershed can be managed in plain valley areas or where forest or pasture development is the main objective. In hilly areas or where intensive agriculture development is planned, the size of watershed relatively preferred is small.

Abstract: Soils are highly complex systems, with many components playing diverse functions mainly due to the activity of soil organisms. Soil Sediment from the surface layer (top 5 cm) were collected aseptically, transferred into sterile polythene bags. The mycoflora were isolated by using soil dilution technique on Potato Dextrose Agar Soil fungi have been most frequently isolated by dilution techniques. From 10-1 dilution to10-3 dilution slide with lacto phenol and cotton blue were prepared from pure culture slants of isolated filamentous fungi. The 15 fungal isolates were obtained in this study and have various physiological and morphological characters. Penicillium spp and Cladosporium Spp occurred in most abundant amount besides Absidia cylindrospora, Fusarium oxysporum, Alternaria alternate, shows maximum CFU. Keywords: Soil Sediment, Mycoflora, Soil Dilution Technique, CFU.

Abstract: Lignin is a class of complex organic polymers. Lignins are one of the main classes of structural materials in the support tissues of vascular plants. The lignin degradation indicated that the presence of ligninolytic enzymes could enhance the activity of microorganisms. Lignin is degraded by microorganisms including fungi and bacteria. Lignin peroxidase is a hemoprotein firstly isolated from the white-rot fungus Phanerochaetechrysosporium with a variety of lignin degrading reactions, all utilizing hydrogen peroxide as an oxygen source. Lignolytic enzymes have a capacity to degrade the pesticide and it have a potential applications in a large number of fields, including bioremediation, biofuels, food agriculture, paper and pulp textile finishing, denim store washing, cosmetics biosensors and many others. Keywords: Lignin, Lignolytic Enzymes, Hemoprotein, Biofuels, Biosensors.

Abstract: Zingiber officinale Roscoe is a perennial herb belonging to the Zingiberaceae family. It is the most common ginger species in India and it is grown all over the country. The rhizome is horizontal, branched, fleshy, aromatic, white or yellowish to brown, which are generally effective in stomach disorders such as colic, spasms, vomiting, dyspepsia, flatulence, and other painful disorders. It accumulates high levels of important pharmacologically active metabolites, viz., [6]-Gingerols, which are some of the products of the phenylpropanoid pathway. The other constituents in Z. officinale are the pungent vanilloids, and [6]-paradol. The study on surface sterilization revealed that explants treated with 0.1 per cent mercuric chloride for 12 minutes, showed the highest aseptic culture establishment.

Abstract:Malaria is a serious parasitic disease from tropical regions caused by a species of plasmodium and transmitted by female anopheles mosquito. It is prevalent in approximately 100 countries in Africa, southeast asia and south America, where approximately 2.4 million people are at risk. According to World Malarial Report(WHO 2014), there were approximately 250 million malaria cases and near about 1 million people die each year due to malaria. It is also a serious disease in some states of India, such as M.P. So the need for an alternative drug for malaria initiated intensive efforts for developing new antimalarial drug from indigenous plants. The information from different tribal communities of M.P. along with journals and documents of different universities and institutes of M.P. were collected for information on botanical therapies and plant species used for malaria

Abstract: Air quality indices attempt to standardize and synthesize air pollution information and permit comparisons to be readily undertaken and to satisfy public demands for accurate and easy to interpret data. It is infeasible and perhaps impossible to formulate a universal technique for determining air quality index one that considers all pollutants and that is appropriate for all situations. Every index has its own characteristic strengths and weaknesses. This paper attempts to present a review of computational methods of air quality indices.

Keywords: Air quality index, literature review.

Abstract: Present study was aimed to examine the effect of constant light (LL) and constant dark (DD) on packed cell volume (PCV) in Indian fresh water cat fish, Clarias batrachus. Following acclimation, animals were divided into three groups and maintained under different photoperiods i.e., natural day length (control), continuous light (LL) and continuous dark (DD) for 60 days. Experiments were carried out during different phases of annual reproductive cycle of C. batrachus i.e., pre spawning, spawning and post spawning phases for three consecutive years. During each experimental protocol, four animals from each group were examined at every 15 days to observe changes occurring in the hematological studies including packed cell volume (PCV).

Abstract: A novel and very sensitive electrochemical sensor based on zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles has been developed by modification of boron doped diamond electrode (BDDE). Electrochemical impedance spectra showed reduction of charge transfer resistance and higher electrocatalytic behaviour of the sensors. The electrochemical characteristic of the modified electrodes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
