This book examines the determinants of India's National Security Strategy. The author brings out that National Military Strategy should envisage employment of all the nation's military and civil capabilities at the highest of levels and this should facilitate long-term planning, development and procurement to create the requisite capabilities to assure victory or success. He states that if not enunciated by the politico-military establishment in peace, and if not planned, organised, structured, developed, trained-for or forces created in peace, then inadequacies in the achievement of political aims during war will be a national loss. This paper is accordingly laid out in six chapters examining the changing strategic geography and geo-strategic context; strategic threats and challenges; strategic culture and civil-military relations; envisioning of prospective warfighting; guidance of National Security Strategy and finally, the formulation of National Military Strategy. The author concludes that If the oncoming era is of back-end warfare ─ combat by programming computers, launching missiles or operating drone swarms ensconced thousands of miles away, in safe environments, then so be it Assuredly, warfare has a future, the all-important question is the typology of warfare, and what it would take to accept it as inevitable, and assiduously work to acquire the capabilities. The strategic conclusion is that technology has fundamentally transformed the character of war, and maybe its nature too, in a significant measure.

The book Integrated Pest Management of Vegetable Crops offers a comprehensive overview of global IPM initiatives and evaluates various IPM programs. Despite the widespread use of IPM practices, there has been a lack of adoption and diffusion from the research sub-system to farmers. Furthermore, there is no consensus on the methodological aspects of impact evaluation and dissemination of IPM programs/practices. The book delves into topics such as integrated pest management of vegetables, pesticide use, and the robust methodological aspects of impact evaluation. Additionally, it assesses the impact evaluation of vegetable IPM programs and identifies factors that influence the adoption of IPM practices. This book is a valuable resource for agencies involved in the formulation and implementation of IPM programs, as well as professionals, investigators, and academia. At the post-graduate level, students will find the book to be a useful guide for planning and conducting future research on IPM diffusion and impact analysis.

This volume provides a comprehensive and detailed socio-economic overview of agrarian distress in India which has manifested in the suicides of farmers and agricultural labourers. Using empirical research and field data from rural India, especially Punjab, this book examines the underlying causes of farmer suicide and steps which can mitigate the crisis. Covering nearly 1,400 rural households, the research in this volume identifies the various dimensions of the deepening crisis in agriculture and farming. It categorises the factors of the problem across different regions and estimates its extent and magnitude. In this updated edition the authors focus on instances of political mobilization and collective movements by farmers struggling to bring the issue of agrarian distress to attention. The book also discusses the implementation of state-waivered loans and compensations and their effect on the farming community. Topical, comprehensive and rich in data, this book will be valuable to scholars and researchers of political economy, agricultural economics, South Asian politics, political sociology and public policy.

LASER-Ray goes through long distance without scattering effect and the Ray is almost invisible. Only the radiation point and incident point is visible. So by this security project we can make an invisible boundary of a sensitive area. There is two part of the system. One is transmitter and other is receiver. The transmitter part is built with a LASER radiator, a pair of dry cell batteries, an on-off switch and a stand to hold it. The receiver side, there is a focusing LDR (Light depending Resistor) sensor to sense the LASER continuously. The LDR sensor also holds with a stand and it connected with the main driver circuit. The circuit has two parts. One is filtered the signal of discontinuity ray and others is alarm circuit. When anybody crossover the invisible ray the main circuit sense the discontinuity by sensor and turn on the alarm circuit. If once the alarm circuit is on it will still ringing until push the reset button. There is two option of ringing. One is the duration of ringing depends on preset timer and another reset manually. Any option can be set by DPDT switch. If anybody wants to bind a sensitive area with the single ray he has to use mirror at every corner to reflect it. The system has built with low cost and high performance. The power consumption of the system is very low.
