India has always been considered as the land of vedas, sagas, cultural and the country is enriched with an aesthetic artistic philosophy. Different regions have their different methods of representing their art and culture. Dancing, singing, poetry and dramatic performances were and are considered as an integral part of rendering the beauty of art. As the great philosopher Charles Dickens said “an art is more beautiful when it can be remembered”. There is one integral and utmost important in southern India, which is one of the most natural and realistic form of art and that is Leather Puppetry.

The trend of monthly, seasona lmean of maximum, minimum, mean tempe rature and seasonal temperature data wereassessed for metrological data of Nanded of Maharashtra for the year 1969-2007. Most of the mean monthly maximum temperature (Tmax) show downward trends and most of the seasonal Tmaxdisplays upward trends by linear regression method. For Nandedmean monthly maximum temperature of May shows highest fall in mean monthly maximum temperature and summer shows highest fall in seasonal mean maximum temperature. For monthly mean of minimum temperature most of the month and season shows upward trendsNovember shows highest increase in monthly mean of minimum temperature andmonsoon shows highest increase. For mean monthly mean temperature most of the months and season shows upward trends. Highest increase occurs in the month November and in post monsoon season.

Basically the groundnut is grown by small scale farmers in developing countries like India. The average kernel price is approximately double the price of pod. Lack of groundnut processing machines, especially groundnut Sheller, is a major problem of groundnut production, especially in country like India. A research work for design, modeling and performance evaluation of groundnut Sheller consisting of fed hopper with a flow rate control device, shelling unit, separating unit and power system. The performance and output of the machine was evaluated in terms of throughput capacity, shelling efficiency, mechanical damage and material efficiency. Regression models that can be used to express the relationship existing in between the Sheller performance indices, moisture in pod and feed rate were establish. This paper describes about the design of various components or parts of groundnut Sheller machine. Hence in this design of various parts are necessary and design of various parts because of which the design quality of those parts will get improved. This project involves processes like design, modeling and analysis of different components etc.

In present day wireless communication systems the resigned for high transmission data rates supporting large number of users.

The spatial pattern of irrigation is however, uneven and has been characterized by the changes over time. The success ofagriculture is completely dependent on the monsoon. Due to vagaries of monsoon rainfall, even in the rainy season, particularly,when there is long gap in the chain of rainy days assured water supply is one of the conditions, which is very essential for cropgrowth. In short, in the study region the success of crop production is by and large associated with hydrological conditions.Today’s trend is to consider irrigation as vital input in maximizing the production.

Investment decisions are influenced by various motives. For earning returns, investors have to almost invariably bear some risk. While investors like returns they abhor risk. Investment decisions, therefore, involve a trade-off between risk and returns. Each of the investment has its own risk & return features. Investors would select investments that are consistent with their risk preferences. Some will consider low risk investments while others prefer high risk investments. The main motive of the study is to find out the Mean return & Risk of 12 selected BSE SENSEX companies from 4 different sectors i.e., Information Technology (IT), Automobiles, Telecommunication and FMCG Sectors.

To achieve the purpose of the present study, eighty football school players from Tamilnadu were selected as subjects at random and their ages ranged from 14 to 17 years. The study was formulated as a true random group design, consisting of a pre-test and post-test. The subjects (N=80) were randomly assigned to four equal groups of twenty football players each. The groups were assigned as yogic training, ladder training, combined yogic training & ladder training and control group in an equivalent manner. The group I underwent yogic training, group II underwent ladder training, group III underwent combined yogic training & ladder training and group IV acted as a control group. The three experimental groups were participated the training for a period of twelve weeks to find out the outcome of the training packages and the control group did not participated in any training programme. Initially descriptive statistics and paired ‘t’ test was applied to test the significance of mean gains made in each of the variables by the experimental groups. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was applied. Whenever the adjusted post-test means were found significant, the scheffe’s post-hoc test was administer to find out the paired means difference.
