The use of animals for food is probably the oldest and the most widespread form of animal use. This practice has existed since the time of hunter and gatherers. The idea of use of animals as food emanates from the belief that animals exist for our pleasure and convenience. Very often people argue that we use plants, minerals and all kinds of other natural materials for our own survival, benefit and pleasure. Animals too are available to meet our ends just like any other plant or mineral. The governing principal behind this view is that we all are part of the food chain. As we are at the top of the food chain what is wrong with using animals for our own ends, as we might use a tree or a rock? To view animals as merely means to achieve our end is ascribing animals an instrumental value.

In recent years, the Indian govern- ment, particularly the Reserve Bank of India, has been aggressively working to increase levels of financial knowledge of the domestic population at large. This goal is similar to the one set out by Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to help consumers “develop skills and confidence to become aware of financial risks and opportunities, to make informed choices, to know where to go for help and to take effective actions to improve their overall financial well-being.” In light of these efforts, this paper deals with the issue of drawing out a relationship between two important fundamental constructs - Financial Literacy and Financial Behavior. Both these constructs are studied in conjunction with demographic characteristics to identify reasons for differences in levels of financial knowledge and kinds of financial behavior of the respondents.

Forest and wildlife in India are considered very vast and rich as there is very significant biodiversity in just 2.5 percent geographical area of the world. India has already registered about 91000 animal species along with 45000 plant species. National parks and sanctuaries in India are not only conserving forest and wildlife but catering to tourist facilities and help the local people to achieve economic development. The first priority of the national parks and sanctuaries is to conserve forest and wildlife, but the same are also attracting the domestic as well as international tourists and helping the local economy to grow. Tourism has dual nature in the area of wildlife management. It can enhance the wildlife management, conserve and make healthy the local economy on one side but on the other hand it can hamper the primary objectives of establishment of national park and sanctuaries, if there is high load of tourism beyond its actual carrying capacity. So, it is essential to examine the equilibrium between tourism and wildlife conservation.

Fingerprints have been the most accepted tool for personal identification since many decades. It is also an invaluable tool for law enforcement and forensics for over a century, motivating the research in automated fingerprint-based identification, an application of biometric system. The matching or identification accuracy using fingerprints has been shown to be very high. The theory on the uniqueness of fingerprint minutiae leads to the steps in studying the statistics of extracting the minutiae features reliably. Identifying latent fingerprints (refers to the impressions unintentionally left on items handled or touched by fingers) is of vital importance for law enforcement agencies to apprehend criminals and terrorists. Compared to live-scan and inked fingerprints, the image quality of latent fingerprints is much lower, with complex image background, unclear ridge structure, and even overlapping patterns. A robust orientation field estimation algorithm is required for enhancing and recognizing poor quality latents.

India accounts for 22 per cent of the world’s installed capacity of spindles and is one of the largest exporters of yarn in international market. Indian industry contributes about 25 per cent share in the world trade of cotton yarn. It has second highest spindleage in the world after China. Indian textile has the highest loomage (including handlooms) in the world and contributes about 61 per cent to the world loomage. The contribution of India is about 12 per cent of the world production of textile fibres and yarns (including jute). India is the largest producer of jute, second largest producer of silk, third largest producer of cotton and cellulose fibre/yarn and fifth largest producer of synthetic fibres/yarns. The textile sector also has a direct link with the rural economy and performance of major fibre crops and crafts such as cotton, wool, silk, handicrafts and handlooms, which employ millions of farmers and crafts persons in rural and semi-urban areas. India produces a variety of textiles and clothin items. India is rich in traditional workers adept at value-adding tasks, which could give Indian companies significant margin advantage.
