Analyzing the way organizations function and the processes that operate within these organizations is an important managerial responsibility. We have adopted a people-oriented approach called organizational energy to develop a simple process for diagnosing the level of satisfaction of scientists working in R&D laboratories. Psychic energy as reflected in different work activities in an organization is manifested in energy generating and energy draining activities that can be reduced to an energy count. The present study assesses the use of mental energy by scientific personnel working in three national laboratories in India with the objective of increasing the energy count for improving organizational effectiveness. We hope that the results can be used as the basis for initiating action to improve the motivation and utilization of scientists in India, to support the overall goal of self-reliance in science and technology.

Use of nanotechnology in food science to increase/alter nutritive value and shelf life of food has provided lot of dimensions in research to meet out the need of food for globally growing population. Fortification of food with nano nutrients and also the use of nanotechnology to enrich the nutritive values of food have explored avenues in nutritional science for the production of highly nutritive food products required for different diseases, gender based requirements, age wise need and variable requirements under different climatic conditions. On the other hand discussions have also initiated about the safety of nano food for consumption, its assimilation in human system and its acceptance by human body. This review briefs the use of nanotechnology in food industry for improvising the quality and quantity of food with keeping an eye on health and environmental concerns.
