Ingredients other than cement, water& aggregates that import a specific quality to either plastic(fresh)mix or the hardened concrete (ASTMC 496) is called concrete admixture. In this paper analysis of properties of concrete using banana peel as admixture is studied and verified the strength of concrete and temperature emitted due to chemical reaction to the normal Portland cement. As banana’s peel is rich in natural fiber and it is well known source of potassium. The flexural strength of concrete by using banana peel powder as admixture has increased, but considerable lesser compressive strength has increased. The percentage of transmission temperature and reduction time of temperature has decreased; hence it is clear that the exothermal reaction in concrete has been reduced by using dried banana peel powder as admixture.

Background: The global Pandemic of COVID-19 has impacted all countries of the world. Spreading of infectious agent accomplished either by specific protection by a potent vaccine or active disease contraction. A safe and effective vaccine would help to protect all age groups. Objectives: To assess the COVID-19 vaccination coverage among adults (18+ years) and to enumerate the factors influencing the COVID-19 Vaccination coverage among them. Methods and Material: All persons above 18 year of age who were eligible for COVID vaccine immunization were included in the survey. Houses locked during survey were excluded. Data were collected by an interview method using a pretested semi structured questionnaire which lasted less than 5 minutes. Results: 22882(61%) were the age group of 18-45yrs, 19457(51.9%) were males, 28457(75.9%) belonged to nuclear family, 85.5% had received at least one dose and 22.2% had received both the dose of COVID 19 vaccination, those who were graduates are 1.17 times chance of getting vaccinated, when compared to postgraduates. Among the occupational groups, compared to semi-professionals, professionals have 3.4 times chance of getting vaccinated. Those participants surveyed having COPD has 70% less chance of getting vaccinated compared to those who don’t having COPD. By using binary logistic regression, compare to nuclear family Joint family had 70% more chance and graduates had 64% of more chance of getting 2 dose of COVID vaccination. Professionals, Home makers, Diabetics, Hypertensive patients had higher odds of getting 2 dose of COVID vaccination. Conclusions: The effort to vaccinate hundreds of millions of people against COVID has been possible. There are very few reasons why the vaccination coverage could have been sluggish but most of them are easily addressable. Keywords: COVID 19, Vaccination, Villages
