A wide range of chemical pesticides are frequently used in the management of pests and diseases in vegetable production at Rishipur village of Malda District, West Bengal. The present study reveals that the farmers frequently use chemical pesticides of high to enormously hazardous group like Cypermethrin (C22H19Cl2NO3), Carbofuran (C12H15NO3), Endosulfan (C9H6Cl6O3S), Fluchloralin (C12H13ClF3N3O4), Organophosphates etc. Different symptoms of diseases as well as physiological disorders among the farmers have been reported. No proper protective measures were noticed to take on by the farmers. The sprayers were found to be related with higher relative risk in comparison with non-sprayers. Soil and nearby water quality were also observed to deteriorate. Thus the pesticides require the use of appropriate protective measures to protect the human health and the environment.

This paper provides a method for biometric authentication using voice for speaker recognition. In the current day and age, security has become a major concern, only passwords aren’t sufficient to ensure data safety. Hence it has become necessary to incorporate biometric features into security systems. The paper uses Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) as the unique features for speaker as well as speech recognition. Neural Networks (NN) have been used for classification of input voice samples as authenticated or non-authenticated and to identify the word spoken. This method has been implemented using a rover, which uses this biometric authenticated system. The rover gets powered on only when the “Rover Start” command received is from an authenticated user. Once initiated, the rover can execute direction commands such as “Left”, “Right”, “Back”, “Forward”, and “Stop” given by any user.

With the increasing scale of trade, need was felt for quality based, informative and reliable accounting standards. Hence, the ASB formulates Accounting Standards for India giving due consideration to International Accounting Standards. But now, trade has to give global level crossing all jurisdictions and regions. The integration of global economy demands a set of accounting standards which are generally accepted all over the world for facilitating the countries doing trade in a more simplified way of accounting. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) are such set of accounting standards as have been prepared to cope up with the increasing demands of accounting at global level. More and more countries are moving to IFRSs due to their capability to facilitate economic growth in international or global market. India had decided to converge with IFRS in phased manner and the initiative was taken in April, 2011 by letting a roadmap for convergence with IFRS. Different roadmaps have been set for different entities like insurance companies, banking companies and other financial enterprises. Indian trade is growing at a tremendous rate and making its way ahead in global market. Hence, it is worth benefitting for Indian trade to converge with IFRSs. The first phase of convergence with IFRS is partly completed in India. The concept of IFRS is taken very sensitively by the Govt., regulatory authorities and concerned entities. As the IFRSs are widely known as global accounting standards, it becomes need of the hour to adopt them. This paper has been prepared using secondary data and information obtained from various websites, published sources like books, journals, articles etc. Why more and more countries are moving to IFRSs? Research has been done to get the answer in an adequate and reasonable way to understand the concept and to find its importance to attract countries adopting and converging with IFRSs. India adopted the way to converge with IFRSs so that Indian enterprises can apply global set accounting standards and prosper the economy by trading globally with more confident, reliable and high quality accounting standards. Before converging with IFRS, a challenge towards convergence with IFRS was lack of professionals. For this purpose, the ICAI launched a course (CA) that proves itself the solutions to the challenges. Today’s position of India regarding convergence with IFRS is satisfactory, fast and smooth going. However, the results are yet to come showing the outcome of emerging concept being adopted by India.

India is considered as the preeminent democratic country, and perceived to be the second largest country, population wise in the world. But being such a large populated nation, its resources are scarcely availableand it struggles with multiple and diverse social problems like, education is one of such problems which we are focusing on. Knowing that education alone has the ability to solve many other social problems, the Indian Government with various other agencies give their prime attention to it and running multiple education schemes such as,SarvaShikshaAbhiyan, RashtriyaMadhyamikShikshaAbhiyan, Saakshar Bharat Programme, Padhe Bharat Badhe Bharat etc.Millions of rupees are being spent to run and improve India’s system of education. As a results of all these schemes, literary rate has reached up until 74.04% (as per 2011 census).Nonetheless, the education quality and its infrastructure are not at satisfactory level in the country. In fact, in the race of improving literacy rate, those in authority have become indifferent and inattentive of the quality of education which is even a major concern. There are many national and international institutions/agencies who question India’s quality of education.It is an open secret thatIndian graduates do not perform with qualities and as per expectations. In consequence, they could not secure jobs as they are rated short on the selection criteria by recruiters. Still for some, even after getting job opportunities they are unable to meet employers’ expectations. Thus, frustrations and discouragements among the youth and their parents are notably increasing.
