Objective of this study was to find out the relationship of various obesity measures with blood pressure of shopkeepers. For this purpose fifty shopkeepers of 30-50 years from Varanasi were selected purposely. BMI, WC and WHR were selected as measures of obesity and also predictor variables for this study while blood pressure was chosen as criterion variables. Standard and reliable measures were used to measure the variables and to obtain the data. To achieve the objectives of present study and to test the hypothesis descriptive statistics, Pearson product moment correlation, multiple correlation and linear regression was used at 0.05 level of significance. Results revealed that BMI and WC are significantlycorrelated with BP, while joint correlation of predictor variables is .646. On basis of findings it is concluded WC is most influenced measure in relation to blood pressure in most cases.

The Quantitative fluvial charac- teristics of the Wainganga river basin have been discussed under linear aspects. The Wainganga River is one of the major tributaries of Godavari River. The total river basin area is 49949.68 Sq. km. The total length of the Wainganga River is 638.91 km, of which 270.2 km lie in Madhya Pradesh. It than travels 32 km along the border between Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, while the remaining 336.17 km lie in Maharashtra. As the main objectives of this work was to discover holistic stream properties from the measurement of various stream attributes, detailed Morphometric analysis is carried out for the seventh-order drainage sub-basins of the Wainganga River catchment and discusses their feature and characteristic and also attempt to find out the stages of geomorphic development with the help of different Morphometric parameter viz.
