Introduction The Indian Agricultural sector provides employment to about 65 per cent of the labour force, accounts for 27 per cent of GDP, contributes 21 per cent of total exports, and raw materials to several industries. The Livestock sector contributes an estimated 8.4 per cent to the country’s GDP and 35.85 per cent of the agricultural output. India is the seventh largest producer of fish in the world and ranks second in the production of inland fish. Fish production has increased from 0.75 million tons in 1950-51 to 5.14 million tons in 1996-97, a cumulative growth rate of 4.2 per cent per annum, which has been the fastest of any item in the food sector, except potatoes, eggs and poultry meat. The future growth in agriculture must come from [G.B. Singh, 2000] viz., new technologies which are not only "cost effective" but also "in conformity" with natural climatic regime of the country; technologies relevant to rain-fed areas specifically; continued genetic improvements for better seeds and yields; data improvements for better research, better results, and sustainable planning; bridging the gap between knowledge and practice; and 2 Judicious land use resource surveys, efficient management practices and sustainable use of natural resources. A central issue in Agricultural Development is the necessity to increase productivity, employment, and income of poor segments of the agricultural population. Among the rural poor, the small farmers constitute a sizeable portion in the developing countries. Studies by FAO have shown that small farms constitute between 60-70 per cent of total farms in developing countries and contribute around 30-35 per cent to total agricultural output [Randhawa & Sundaram, 1990]. Liberalisation era (1990-91) began in India when over 40 per cent of rural households were landless or near landless, and over 96 per cent of the owned holdings and 68.53 per cent (over 2/3rd ) of owned land belonged to the size groups (marginal, small and semi-medium). The decade of 1981-82 to 1991-92 seems to have witnessed a marked intensification of the marginalisation process - the percentage of small owners increased from 14.70 per cent to 21.75 per cent. Small farmers emerged as the size group with the largest share of 33.97 per cent in the total land, which has just doubled during this decade. As regards the large farmers, they were 1 per cent of the total owners in 1990-91 but owned nearly 13.83 per cent of the total land. An interesting, but speculative, inference is that the changing position of the large owners represents the other side of the marginalisation process, i.e., the presence, and possibly growing 3 strength, of a small but dominant and influential group in agriculture. Analytical reports reveal that marginalisation process could gather further momentum in the years ahead to become an explosive source of economic and political turbulence, due to the features of prevailing policy-cum-market environment in the country.

ABSTRACT This research work is to study the consumer behaviour towards Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) in Trichirappalli of Tamilnadu. The data for the study has been collected individually with the respondents with the distribution of questionnaire. This study collects data from 300 consumers at various places in Trichirappalli. This study is started with objectives of examining socio-economic background of respondents towards selected FMCG products, checking the level of satisfaction of consumers and knowing expectation of the consumers. This study reveals that consumer behaviour is largely affected by place, product, price, promotional, psychological and people influences. Introduction gives India competitive advantage. The Indian Fast Moving Consumer Goods Industry, consumers today are unique in the sense of being alternatively called as Consumer Packaged Goods value sensitive and are not much price sensitive, Industry primarily deals with the production, as before. distribution and marketing of consumer packaged The Indian consumers also follow strictly, goods. These are products that have a quick their culture, tradition and values, as a result of turnover, and relatively low cost. Consumers which foreign companies are forced to give an generally put less thought into the purchase of Indian touch to their products in order to succeed FMCG than they do for other products.

  • Dynamics of Landuse and Landcover Changes in Papanasam Taluk, Thanjavur District, Tamilnadu, India
    Available online a t www.pelagiaresearchlibrary.com Pelagia Research Library Advances in Applied Science Research, 2016, 7(2):128-131 ISSN: 0976-8610 CODEN (USA): AASRFC Dynamics of landuse and landcover changes in Papanasam Taluk, Thanjavur District, Tamilnadu, India G. Laxmi, K. Indhira, J. Senthil * and P. H. Anand Department of Geography, Govt. Arts College (A), Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, India _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Remote sensing has been in common use to provide the primary data from which land use and land cover types and their boundaries are for interpretation purpose. During the past four decades several surveys, studies, and other projects have successfully demonstrated that remote sensing data are useful for land use and land cover inventory and mapping. These surveys have contributed to our confidence that land use and land cover surveys of larger areas are possible by the use of remote sensing data bases. It has been argued in this paper that a systematic analysis of local-scale land-use change studies, conducted over a range of timescale. Over the last few decades, numerous researchers have improved measurements of land-cover change, the understanding of the causes of land-use change. Key words: Landuse, Landcover, Remote sensing _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Present use of land is one of the characteristics that are widely recognized as significant for planning and management purposes. One concept that has much merit is that land use refers to, "man's activities on land which are directly related to the land" [1]. Land cover, on the other hand, describes, "the vegetation and artificial constructions covering the land surface" [2].

Owing to its long coastline, high density of population and large number of urban centers along the coast, tropical cyclones over the time are having a greater impact on the community and damage the infrastructure. Secondly, the climate change is warming up oceans to increase both the intensity and frequency of cyclones. Hence, it is important to garner all the information and critically assess the impact and manangement of the cyclones. Cyclone Gaja was one of the major cyclones to hit the Tamil Nadu coast in November 2018. It lfeft a devastating tale of destruction on the cyclone path damaging houses, critical infrastructure for essential services, uprooting trees, affecting livelihoods etc in its trail. However, the loss of life was limited.
