Excellence in any work can be achieved with utmost dedication, hard work, and perseverance. In the endeavour of fulfilling the dreams of our founder Chancellor and visionary Col.Dr.Jeppiaar, Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology is dedicated to its responsibility and added several achievements and accolades to its 30 years of existence and for its excellence in creating a society that is humane, inclusive and beneficial to all. Research and development forms the backbone of our curriculum at Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology. The staff and students are engaged in various innovative research activities. Research expands the boundaries of knowledge and contributes to the progress of nation. Conferences are generally an essential part of academic discourse. Every school of our Institution organizes conferences and seminars frequently on contemporary and relevant topics in order to facilitate research in those areas which will lead to necessary metamorphosis in the academia as well. We are happy to know that School of Law is organizing a National Conference on Sustainable Development on 6th February 2019. We encourage the students to participate in such activities as much as possible. The youth of today has an enormous potential thus it is essential that they be given an opportunity to express their views, conduct research and experiment to bring a positive change in the contemporary world. The themes of the conference indicate the importance and significance of issues which needs to be contemplated and analyzed in depth and by pursuing a proactive approach. This Conference will go a long way in unleashing the process of meaningful academic discourse among the conference participants by interactive discussion and coming up with findings which can help understand how the nations and economies can meet the challenges relating to Sustainable Development. We are hopeful that this conference will add value to the knowledge of all those who are a part of this event. We wish the Organizing team a great success. Honourable Mr. Justice S. Rajeswaran Retd. Judge, High Court Madras AA67, II Street, Anna Nagar Chennai – 600 040 Res: 044 2621 2249, 93832 12249 NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT It gives me immense pleasure and satisfaction to know that Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology is conducting a National Conference on Sustainable Development, on 06.02.2019, at the School of Law. The concept of sustainable Development is very important because, unless all sections of the society are developed, it can never be said that there is development. Development is to take place horizontally extending the benefits to one and all and vertical development will only create inequality and dissent among the people. Therefore, it is a wholesome development involving the legislature, judiciary and economic conditions, environmental excellence, etc. Poverty eradication, technological development, importance to agriculture and climate change are the need of the hour and I am glad to know that a thorough discussion would take place in the conference among the scholars, and experts presenting their papers and views. I take this opportunity to wish this conference a grand success and I congratulate Dr. Remibai Jeppiaar, the Chancellor of the University and the persons involved in this task for conducting this conference, which will bring together Scientists, Advocates, Researchers, Scholars and students in the domain of interest.

  • The Effects of Climate Change on Agriculture in India and Nigeria
    Global Majority E-Journal, Vol. 5, No. 2 (December 2014), pp. 89-103 Hot Times Ahead: The Effects of Climate Change on Agriculture in India and Nigeria Maude M. Fitzmaurice Abstract India and Nigeria are developing countries that are already suffering from the negative effects of climate change. Both countries have huge agricultural sectors that are vital to their economies. India has the second largest farm output in the world. In Nigeria, 70 percent of its population is employed in the agricultural sector. This article compares and contrasts how climate change is affecting the essential food production in both India and Nigeria and the efforts each country is taking to minimize the negative effects of climate change. I. Introduction India and Nigeria are developing countries in which agriculture is a staple of their economies. Both countries are highly vulnerable to climate change effects such as higher temperatures and extreme variations in precipitation, which will have drastic effects on their economies and the livelihoods of their citizens. The agricultural sector in both India and Nigeria absorbs a significant portion of their labor forces and still constitutes a considerable share of their gross domestic product (GDP). A large portion of those employed in the agricultural sector live below the international poverty line ($1.25 per day in PPP), and therefore the effects of climate change will have a serious impact on the daily lives of these individuals. With the effects of climate change worsening, India and Nigeria are anticipating declines in crop production and value, increased imports, increased debt, and ultimately a decline in GDP and a decrease in the livelihoods of the citizens of these countries.

Adept in Cinematography, writing lyrics, novels and scripts for Dramas, she also has a natural flair for creativity and social service. Though she faced innumerable odds and misfortunes in her personal life, she never felt bogged down, but rather played all her roles valiantly and extremely well---- as a mother, a cancer survivor, an educationist, a creative artist and above all, as a great fighter. It is explicitly because of her sheer sense of creativity that she has successfully created various books, novels, musical albums and two regional short films that won her worldwide critical acclaim. She even dabbled into the political world to achieve her noble aims and purposes. It is really hard to study the complex political situation, especially, the one prevailing in India. Harder still, it is to delve into its infinite Contemporary Literary Review India | pISSN 2250-3366 / eISSN 2394- 6075 | Vol. 7, No. 2: CLRI May 2020 | Page 194 Dr Dilip Khetarpal Reviews Phidalia Toi’s The Dusk and weird aspects and bring out the truth from them honestly and fearlessly and put them before the whole nation to ponder, introspect and thereafter bring about drastic changes.
