परिवर्तन का समय अभी है। विकल्प स्पष्ट और भयानक है। अगर हम वर्तमान ढर्रे पर ही चलते रहे तो विश्व के अन्य लोग हमसे आगे निकल जाएँगे। गरीबी व बेरोजगारी और ज्यादा बढ़ जाएगी, जो हमारे समाज को अंतर्विस्फोट की ओर ले जाएगी। और अगर हम बदलाव लाएँगे तो हम वास्तविक प्रगति कर पाएँगे—गरीबी से समृद्धि की ओर, गतिरोध से तीव्र विकास की ओर।’ भारत अभी भी एक दशक के भीतर ही विकसित देशों की सूची में शामिल हो सकता है। ‘भारत 2020 और उसके बाद’ नामक यह पुस्तक इस रूपांतरण के लिए एक पूरी कार्ययोजना प्रदान करती है।

प्रोफेशनल को ब्रह्मोस से बहुत कुछ सीखना है—कुछ भी नामुमकिन नहीं। इस पुस्तक में ब्रह्मोस की यात्रा का वर्णन किया गया है, जिसने भारत को तीव्रतम, उच्च, परिशुद्ध, सुपर-सोनिक क्रूज मिसाइल के साथ मिसाइल प्रौद्योगिकी का लीडर बना दिया। भारत तथा रूस द्वारा मिलकर किए गए अनूठे संयुक्त प्रयास के कारण इतने कम समय में यह उपलब्धि प्राप्त हुई। यह इस ‘अनजान मार्ग’ का पहला अनुभव है, जिससे उजागर होता है कि ‘हम ऐसा कर सकते हैं।’ इस पुस्तक में दरशाया गया है कि इस समय ‘उत्कृष्ट प्रबंधन पद्धतियों’ तथा ‘बाजार दृष्टिकोण की मनोवृत्ति’ के माध्यम से मात्र 300 मिलियन डॉलर का निवेश करके 6 बिलियन डॉलर से अधिक ऑर्डर डिलीवर किए जा चुके हैं। यह अपनी किस्म का पहला अद्वितीय मॉडल है, जिसमें भारत-रूस ने 50.5 : 49.5 प्रतिशत पूँजी निवेश किया तथा पहली सरकारी स्वामित्व की प्राइवेट तौर पर संचालित कंपनी (जीओपीओ) बनी; इसमें निर्णय लेने की प्रक्रिया में तेजी लाना सुनिश्चित किया गया—परिणाम उत्पाद की समयोचित प्राप्ति! दोनों देशों के बीच सहयोग से प्रौद्योगिकी की दृष्टि से ‘अनूठी प्रगति’ (Leap Frog Effect) हुई, जिससे दोनों भागीदारों को बराबर लाभ हुआ। देश की वृद्धि/उन्नति के लिए इस सफल मॉडल का आसानी से अनुकरण (replicate) किया जा सकता है

The book dwells mainly on the optimality aspects of mixture-of-mixture experiments. In this book, mixture experiments with optimality have become the focus of much attention because of their wide range of applicability and the ease with which these can treat complicated problems. The techniques are ideally suited to express response variables as a function of the proportions of the mixture components within the limiting cost. The use of mixture experiments for production has not been fully explored. Therefore, an attempt is being initiated to assess the utility of mixture experiments for output in detail. Usage of optimal mixture experiments is quite helpful in practical production.

विज्ञान को हमेशा ही गंभीर विषय माना गया है और वैज्ञानिकों को गंभीर व्यक्‍त‌ि । लेकिन क्या वैज्ञानिक भी मनुष्य नहीं हैं, जिनमें आम मनुष्यों की भांति शारीरिक और नैतिक दुर्बलताएँ होती हैं? प्राय: ज्यादातर विज्ञान-लेखकों ने वैज्ञानिकों के इस पक्ष को महत्त्व नहीं दिया है, क्योंकि इसका विज्ञान से कुछ लेना-देना नहीं है; लेकिन वैज्ञानिकों का मानवीय पक्ष अन्य विधाओं से संबद्ध लोगों को विज्ञान, इसकी संस्कृति और इसमें दक्ष लोगों से अवगत कराने का अच्छा माध्यम हो सकता है । यदि इस पुस्तक को पढ़ने के पश्‍‍चत् अवैज्ञानिक लोग इसकी कुछ कहानियों, आख्यानों और पात्रों को मनोरंजन के साथ याद रखते हैं तो इसके प्रकाशन का उद‍्देश्य सार्थक होगा । विज्ञान विधा से संबद्ध लोगों के लिए यह पुस्तक आँख खोलनेवाली है । शायद ही कभी विज्ञान के छात्रों को विज्ञान के इस पक्ष से उनके शिक्षकों द्वारा परिचित कराया जाता हो । हमारे स्कूलों, कॉलेजों और विश्‍‍वविद्यालयों के विज्ञान शिक्षक इस पुस्तक में दी गई कहानियों, आख्यानों और वर्णित पात्रों को आत्मसात् कर, विज्ञान से बोझिल अपने व्याख्यानों में इन्हें स्थान देकर रोचक, मनोरंजकपूर्ण तथा अधिक संप्रेषणीय बना सकते हैं जो आज विद्यार्थियों को विज्ञान की ओर आकर्षित करने के लिए अत्यावश्यक है ।

It focuses on the phenomenon of female criminality and the pervasiveness of the disciplinary powers of law in our lives. Through an overview of existing studies on female crime in India and the interaction with the working) of the law and the legal system, This engagement pushes our understanding of law from an instrument of control and mode of social transformation to mere rhetoric.

Education is the foundation of the development of any country. But in our country, the First Education Policy was framed in 1968, 21 years after independence; the second policy was formulated in 1986; 34 years later, India got the National Educational Policy-2020 on 25th July, 2020. Besides these, certain commissions were also constituted for reforms in education, which made some good recommendations, but these could not be implemented for sheer want of political will. For an instance, the Kothari Commission in 1968, recommended 6 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for expenditure on education, which was also adopted by the Education Policy-1986, but this is yet to be translated into practice. If we ignore pre-colonial period, the Bharat of post-independence has not yet been able to determine the aim of education. Character building and moulding a human i.e. holistic development of personality should be the aim of education. Essays on related subjects are included in this book. To identify the issues and problems that plague the education, and their solution, we carried out basic but innovative experiments in schools, colleges and universities. The original experiences of these exercises have been penned down as articles and research papers. This book is an anthology of the related writings.

This book is an attempt to present, in a consolidated form of research articles that can provide a common platform for communication and discussion about healthcare and service providers, functionaries, scholars and social workers involved with child health and nutrition. The scope of this book is to present an overview of child health, maternal health and community issues in India and also attempt to highlight some of the important issues in this field.

The scope of psychology is beyond the clinic. It is in everything that we do and we don't do. The articles are just a different perspective of looking at everyday happenings and how they relate to how we deal with life.? Life doesn't come with an instruction manual. Often we shy away from talking about mental health or we confuse mental health with mental illness. These articles talk about simple day matters which have an impact on us. These are topics which we all face but don't realise that they have had an impact on us. It is a simpler way to look at things that bother us.

Wanderlust and the desire to know the land and society more had been fueling my wish to visit Kailas. There were many curiosities. All our major rivers have their source in the region. The largest reservoir of fresh water on earth is situated there. The celestial swans are found there. I recall that how in my childhood, my Grandmother used to describe Kailas as being akin to a dreamland. According to her, Shri Krishna has said in the Gita – Meruru shikhirinamaham – ‘Among mountains I am Kailas!’ It was Sage Mandhata who first set foot on this sacred soil. Adi Shankaracharya shed his mortal body here. Guru Nanak meditated here and Swaminarayana, the founder of the sect that bears his name, saw the vision of god here. The Ramayana and the Mahabharata mention Kailas. This is where Ravana had worshipped Lord Shiva. He wanted to take Kailas with him. Shiva guilefully dissuaded him from doing so. Arjuna performed penance here and received the Pashupata Astra from Shiva. Yudhishthir proceeded heavenwards via this route. One by one, all the family members fell by the roadside; only the faithful dog kept company. Bhasmasur, the Rakshas, a devotee of Shiva was reduced to cinders here. Today the dark shadow of civilisation has begun to fall even on Mansarovar. This lake is shrinking. The sacred water body, that once stretched across 410 square kilometres, is now shrunk to only 10 square kilometres. Consider this the rage of Nature. Had Kalidasa been alive, he would have been deeply saddened to see his beloved Himalaya in this state. Is it the same Himalaya that is described in Raghuvamsham and Kumar Sambhavam? Civilisation has reached a point where the divine dimensions of Himalaya are disturbed.
