“…It was observed that all the respondents were aware about tools like television, mobile phone and social media which was also the popular digital tool at the time of investigation. The results were found to be in agreement with findings of Kumar (2018) and Khidir et al (2019). High level of awareness was also found for internet (96.67%), email (85%), search engines (80.83 %) and e newspapers (75.83%).…”

“…In case of least preferred tools agricultural expert systems (98.33 %) and information kiosks (95.83 %) were identified. The results were having similarity with the findings of Kumar (2018). Mobile phones and social media were mostly preferred by the farmers which may be due to the versatility and easiness to use, portable nature and relativity affordable.…”

In this digital era, integration of digital tools is common in every sector and agriculture is not an exception. The present study was conducted among the farmers of Kerala who were using various digital tools, during the year 2018-2019. The sample of the study consisted of 120 farmers from three zones of Kerala. Awareness and Preference of the respondents were studied in order to find out the horizontal spread. Based on the results obtained it was found that all farmers were aware about tools like television, mobile phone and social media. Most of the farmers had selected mobile phones as the most preferred tool. Farmers were found to use mobile phones mainly for 'crop protection' purposes and social media for 'marketing' purposes.

“…This indicates a significant effect of aerosol-solar absorption at surface thereby give rise to more cooling. There is a loss in solar rays arriving at the surface because of the scattering of radiation back towards the space which gives rise https://www.indjst.org/ to cooling of climate system (45) . The small TOA forcing efficiency associated with the high surface forcing indicates a strong absorption due to high aerosol loading as shown in Figure 5 .…”

Objective: To find the influence of aerosols on the sun rays arriving at the surface and to measure aerosol radiative forcing over Kanpur, Indo-gangetic basin. The study was performed during period 2001-2015. Methodology: The present work is credited to the availability of data through the network relying on the ground based optical observations obtained with the help of ground based instrument called Cimel sun photometer using AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network) radiative transfer model with particular focus on Indo-Gangetic plain over Kanpur. The aerosol radiative forcing at the surface, atmosphere and top of atmosphere has been computed with the help of radiative transfer approach depending on AERONET aerosol retrievals. Findings: Our study investigated the seasonal and spectral variations of ARF along with aerosol radiative forcing with special reference to Kanpur region (IGP) by using AERONET data. The monthly average (±σ) ARF during the entire observational period (2001-2015), at three levels i.e., surface (ARFSFC), atmosphere (ARFATM) and the atmospheric top (ARFTOA) are recorded as-89.6 ± 18.6 Wm-2, +64.4 ± 16.5 Wm-2 and-25.2 ± 6.8 Wm-2 respectively. From the ARF measurements, it is found that there is a large reduction in surface arriving solar rays due to presence of absorbing and scattering types of aerosols. Novelty: Since this study provides an overview of the present state of prevailing aerosols and their climatic effects. So, findings may be used to create an aerosol climate map for the region under study.

“…Emblematic of this is the Fearless Girl statue, placed in the heart of New York's financial district in March 2017 to raise awareness about the importance of gender diversity in business. 28 Meanwhile, practices have begun to reflect this as well: the International Monetary Fund has specifically called on governments to review how their policies affect women, noting that women's empowerment is linked to greater macroeconomic stability and inclusive growth. Indeed, the fund's research on closing the gender gap for the bottom half of countries sampled suggests an increase in GDP by an average of 35 percent--of which seven or eight points represent productivity gains due to gender diversity.…”
