Issue-IV, October 2011 October 2011 Entire Research, Vol.-3, Issue-IV 1 Literacy and Fertility in Uttar Pradesh: A Statistical Analysis Ms. Asha A. Jindal: Associate Professor, Department of Statistics, K.C. College, Mumbai Dr. N. N. Pandey; Principal of Dalmia College and Research Guide, JJTU Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between female literacy rate and mean number of births per ever married woman at district level for Uttar Pradesh using Census 2001 data. This paper also attempts to examine the possible impact of the educational attainment of female on their fertility behavior in Uttar Pradesh. The difference in general fertility rate between illiterate and literate groups of women is 41 points whereas this difference is 33 points in rural area and 37 points in urban area. As the educational attainment of female increases this difference is decreasing in all three total, rural and urban areas of Uttar Pradesh. Key Words: Female Literacy Rate, General Fertility Rate, Total Fertility Rate, Mean Number of Births per ever married woman, Age Specific Fertility Rate, Correlation. Introduction: Female literacy is becoming important as mothers play a central role in supporting children's education. Literate and educated mothers not only push their children to go to school, but are also able to help them with their school work when they do go to school. Therefore, it is argued, literate mothers are a strong weapon in the fight against illiteracy. Secondly, women have economic potential just as men do. If women remain illiterate, some of that economic potential is lost (as it is for men). Therefore, for a people or a nation to achieve development ideals, it is necessary that their female population be educated as well. Third point is that educated women tend to have fewer children than illiterate women. Socio- economic development particularly education plays a key role in reducing fertility and mortality. But in recent years, question is that at what extents the socio- economic development linked with fertility in Indian context or is there over time attributed to some other factors. Some Study shows determinants of fertility are female literacy rate, urbanization, per capita income, regional variation and female work participation etc. Numerous explanations are given to reduce fertility. It is suggested that literacy will lead to delay in marriageable age. This leads to better understanding of contraceptive use which in turn reduces fertility. Data and Analysis: The population census of India, conducted every ten years, is the most comprehensive source of information on the size, distribution, living conditions and demographic characteristics of the population. For estimation of Female Literacy Rate and Mean Number of Births per ever married woman at district level, Census 2001 is used. Besides this, for estimation of Age-Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR), Total Fertility Rate (TFR), General Fertility Rate (GFR), Census 2001 data is used. With regard to educational level of women, they have been classified into 7 groups namely Illiterate, ISSN 0975-5020 October 2011 Entire Research, Vol.-3, Issue-IV 2 Literate, Literate but below primary, Primary but below middle, Middle but below matric or secondary, Matric or secondary but below graduate, Graduate and above in respect of total, rural and urban. The scope of the study is limited to 2001 census data as only provisional total are declared for 2011 census data. Table 1: Correlation Coefficient between Female Literacy Rate and Mean Number of Birth per ever married woman in Uttar Pradesh Correlation Coefficient FLR_2001 MNB Pearson Correlation -.419** Sig. (2-tailed) .000 N 70 ** Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). Female literacy rate and mean number of births per ever married women are inversely linearly related. The correlation coefficient between two rates is -0.419 which is significant as per Table1. Total Fertility Rate is decreasing as educational attainment of female increases in total, rural and urban areas of Uttar Pradesh (see Figure 1).

The general fertility rate is 112 for illiterate women and 71 for literate women. The difference in general fertility rate between these two groups is 41 points whereas this difference is 33 points in rural area and 37 points in urban area. As the educational attainment of female increases this difference is decreasing in all three total, rural and urban areas of Uttar Pradesh. However GFR is high for women with educational attainment of Graduate and above as well as ASFR is also high for age group of 25-29 ISSN 0975-5020 October 2011 Entire Research, Vol.-3, Issue-IV 4 which is natural phenomena. As for age specific fertility rates, literate woman in all age group have low fertility then their illiterate sisters and this ASFR decreases as educational attainment of female increases in total, rural and urban areas of Uttar Pradesh. Conclusion: Literacy is inversely linearly related to fertility levels of woman in Uttar Pradesh. Government programmes aimed at reducing fertility through the provision of services in respect of family planning methods which would not be of much help as long as female literacy rate is low. Therefore, every effort must be made to promote literacy as well as higher education among females. But these efforts are not very encouraging despite the fact that a constitutional obligation exists for enrollment of all the children up to age of 14 years in primary and middle schools but good proportion of children are still outside. Hence it is important to make all possible efforts to promote literacy among girls and higher technical education among females without much delay.

  • Samskara-By-Ur-Anantha-Murthy.Pdf
    LITERATURE ~O} OXFORD"" Made into a powerful, award-winning film in 1970, this important Kannada novel of the sixties has received widespread acclaim from both critics and general read­ ers since its first publication in 1965. As a religious novel about a decaying brahmin colony in the south Indian village of Karnataka, Samskara serves as an allegory rich in realistic detail, a contemporary reworking of ancient Hindu themes and myths, and a serious, poetic study of a religious man living in a community of priests gone to seed. A death, which stands as the central event in the plot, brings in its wake a plague, many more deaths, live questions with only dead answers, moral chaos, and the rebirth of one man. The volume provides a useful glos­ sary of Hindu myths, customs, Indian names, flora, and other terms. Notes and an afterword enhance the self­ contained, faithful, and yet readable translation. U.R. Anantha Murthy is a well-known Indian novelist. The late A.K. Ramanujan w,as William E. Colvin Professor in the Departments of South Asian Languages and Civilizations and of Linguistics at the University of Chicago.

The mixture was triturated with juice of Amalaki for three days. Nishamalaki powder without any treatment with juice was considered as control. Organoleptic, microscopic, phytochemical and levels of Vit C and curcumin was estimated. Among the physico-chemical characters, the formulations following samaskara showed increased levels of total ash, water soluble ashand yield of alcoholic extract while other parameters showed no significant change. Nishamalaki following samskara showed the presence of proteins, carbohydrates, phenol, tannin and flavanoids in the aqueous extract while alcoholic extract showed the presence of proteins, carbohydrates, tannin, flavanoids, glycosides, steroids, terpenoids and alkaloids.

  • Is the Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya Connected to the Madhva Line?
    Is the Gaudiya Vaishnava sampradaya connected to the Madhva line? Is the Gaudiya Vaishnava sampradaya connected to the Madhva line? – Jagadananda Das – The relationship of the Madhva-sampradaya to the Gaudiya Vaishnavas is one that has been sensitive for more than 200 years. Not only did it rear its head in the time of Baladeva Vidyabhushan, when the legitimacy of the Gaudiyas was challenged in Jaipur, but repeatedly since then. Bhaktivinoda Thakur wrote in his 1892 work Mahaprabhura siksha that those who reject this connection are “the greatest enemies of Sri Krishna Chaitanya’s family of followers.” In subsequent years, nearly every scholar of Bengal Vaishnavism has cast his doubts on this connection including S. K. De, Surendranath Dasgupta, Sundarananda Vidyavinoda, Friedhelm Hardy and others. The degree to which these various authors reject this connection is different. According to Gaudiya tradition, Madhavendra Puri appeared in the 14th century. He was a guru of the Brahma or Madhva-sampradaya, one of the four (Brahma, Sri, Rudra and Sanaka) legitimate Vaishnava lineages of the Kali Yuga. Madhavendra’s disciple Isvara Puri took Sri Krishna Chaitanya as his disciple. The followers of Sri Chaitanya are thus members of the Madhva line. The authoritative sources for this identification with the Madhva lineage are principally four: Kavi Karnapura’s Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika (1576), the writings of Gopala Guru Goswami from around the same time, Baladeva’s Prameya-ratnavali from the late 18th century, and anothe late 18th century work, Narahari’s

It contains poisonous alkaloids like Strychnine and Brucine which may harm the body. In spite of its toxic nature, the seeds of this tree are used in various pharmaceutical preparations after purification. Strychnos Nuxvomica is included in Upavisha varga in Rasasastra. Acharyas has explained different methods of purification of the seeds. Dolayantra swedana in milk is one among the media for purification of Kaaraskara beeja. It has been already proven that the Strychnine and Brucine content of beeja significantly reduced after the swedana in milk. While comparing the ashodhita and shodita seeds, loss on drying and extractive values were increased after shodhana which clearly indicates incorporation of active principles to the shodhita Kaaraskara beeja.
