Editorial Preface

A New Kind of Student Research Magazine

It is with great pride, enthusiasm, and anticipation that we invite you to read the inaugural issue of InQuest- a New Kind of Student Research Magazine. This is a new broad-scope publication aiming to publish high-quality research work undertaken by our students.

This magazine has a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary issues as we’re conscious that many complex problems in the built environment require multi-disciplinary solutions.

An enormous amount of work has gone into the development of this magazine and we believe you will see that effort reflected in this edition and in the impact it will have on the efforts taken to inculcate the ‘Research Culture’ among the students. It has been an interesting journey of transformation and change. These words cause uneasiness. Our endeavor will be no different. As we dare to be a new kind of Institute focusing on building a strong research attitude among our students.

That’s a tall order, but we are determined to make it happen.

Finally, we thank our students and community members, those we teach and with whom we partner. They make reciprocity a reality. They allow us into their lives and in so doing they teach and transform us and vice versa. We look forward to our journey together as we develop this magazine into its fullest potential.

Message from the Director’s Desk

Maharshi Karve Stree Shikshan Samstha’s Smt. Hiraben Nanavati Institute of Management and Research for Women, is one of the leading and most sought after management institutes in Pune imparting quality management education at an affordable cost. Our vision is to develop a world- class management institute exclusively for women. It has been tested over the last twenty years and has proved to be effective and successful, time and again, accepted and appreciated by the stakeholders.

As we have completed twenty years, what comes to my mind is that-“Success comes to those who work hard and stay with those, who don’t rest on the laurels of the past.” The world today is changing at such a accelerated rate and we as educators need to pause and reflect on this entire education system. Are our management institutes well equipped to prepare our students to face the challenges that the future holds? Questions such as these are factors that motivate us to go through the continuous process of reflection and hence, we at MKSSS’s HNIMR work at implementing a well-balanced curriculum to ensure that the students are truly are prepared to face life’s challenges. It was Margaret Mead who said “Students must be taught how to think, not what to think.” Even as we impart education to match the advancement in technology and globalization, we march our students ahead with ethos of moral values and principles. We endeavor constantly to instill these qualities in our students. We pride ourselves to help them grow and develop into sensitive and responsible HR of the nation. We fortunately have a committed and supportive management, dedicated faculty members and co-operative parents and corporates.

This magazine is a milestone that marks our growth, unfolds students’ imagination and gives life to their thoughts and aspirations. It unleashes a wide spectrum of their creative skills ranging from selecting topic, doing surveys to writing the research papers. I congratulate the entire editorial team for their hard work and dedication that has resulted in the publication of this issue of the magazine.

TITLE OF THE SURVEY:

EFFECT OF NO BOYS IN THE COLLEGE.

1 INTRODUCTION:

Education plays a very important role in making the world better place to live in a most civilized way. Gender equality is been respected and nurtured in all parts of the world, there are still thousands of doubts raised about having a co-education in schools, colleges etc. There has been some debate as to whether single sex schools or colleges provide a better education than a Co-ed Schools or College , or vice versa . Each of them has its own pros and cons , and many researchers have conducted several studies , the result or conclusion remains inconclusive as to whether either is superior .

The advantages of women’s colleges are hard to match in the coed world. Why? Historically, role models in coed colleges are male – a tradition that hasn't much changed over the years. Most of the authority in coed colleges is retained by men, classrooms are dominated by men, and so are student leadership positions. These coed classrooms are still guilty of fostering an environment geared toward gendered expectation and the longer they remain in an atmosphere where such sex bias is rife, the lower women's self-esteem seems to fall – until eventually, career aspirations also plummet. Co-education is a system where both the genders (male and female) participate in a same learning center or an educational institution. In this process, both the genders would benefit equally in learning or attaining knowledge from the institution and each other. This method of education even though is becoming common all over the world. The decision ultimately resides with the students and parents preferences. This study is carried out to study this topic in some aspects and study the set objectives .

RELEVANCE OF TOPIC Advantages and disadvantages of studying in Girls College

Advantages:

1. Be more focused on academics Students in favor of girls college say that this environment allows for more conducive learning experience with fewer distractions for both boys and girls

2. Be more comfortable Some girls are more comfortable expressing themselves among the company of other members of same sex. This allows students to gain more self- confidence and help them to overcome their insecurities.

3. Take on non-stereotypical leadership roles Female (girls) students have opportunities to take on leadership positions which are normally considered as male activities.

Disadvantages:

1. Do not prepare students for real life It’s inevitable that boys and girls will have to work with each other at some point during their careers. Women education system deprives students the opportunities to learn how to work well with members of opposite sex.

2. Foster gender ignorance Students interacting with same sex members may face difficulty in understanding and communicating with opposite sex members. This experience will hinder girls from learning how to work with others and also hinder them socially.

Advantages and disadvantages of studying in Co- ed College

Advantages:

1. Develops mutual respect Co-education allows both the genders to understand each other and to know how to co-exist with respect. People get to know how to respect each other and their emotional level. Students get to know each other strengths and weaknesses and develop the ability to accept them as they are.

2. Helps to overcome the fear of opposite gender In general there are lot of differences in behavior of both the genders which brings in fear and hesitance in striking a conversation, this fear can be for a boy or a girl. This kind of shyness, hesitation or fear can be overcome when they are put up in a co-education system where they will be compelled to talk and create a friendly environment where there is no fear.

3. Healthy competition Competition is always an essential part in any kind of challenges in life be it personal or professional. And especially in education it is good to have a healthy competition among the peers which lets you learn how to cope with your failures early in life no matter who the winner is. When it comes to opposite genders it would be more competitive because of your ego, and this is one good way to improve the personal standards so that you don’t get personal on every failure and are able to face it with dignity.

4. Develops self-esteem among the genders Self-esteem is very essential and has to be built in good way and the best place to start with it is the learning institutions where you can face all types of personality early in your life. Co-education learning centers help to lay the early foundation for maintaining dignity and self-esteem.

4 5. Encourages the survival in future Survival in future for any of the gender in today’s world can happen only when we learn to co-exist. From working together to making a marriage successful is all about team work and the effort given by both male and female. Team building activities in early stages help both the genders to learn how to co-exist and this can only be provided in the co-ed system.

6. Character enhancement A recent study reveals that children tend to behave very decently in a civilized manner in the presence of other gender provided they have been in this scenario for long. Co-education plays an important role in character building. They emphasize on the fact that they have to respect and listen to the opposite sex as they listen and respect one from their own.

7. No space for discrimination Quarrel among the peers is very common be it at home, workplace or educational institutions. This may happen due to no proper understanding, misconceptions, miss-communications, uncomfortable, no respect for other sex and ignorance. Co-education system reduces any kind of discrimination and increases respect towards the opposite sex.

8. Promotes a controlled environment When both the genders are put up in same environment, there are more possibilities of following good ethics, disciplined use of language, and proper dressing etc. You would know what the needs are of the opposite sex and how they behave helping you to avoid unfavorable situations.

5 Disadvantages:

1. Chances of distractions could be more Teenage is a very dangerous phase in anybody’s life. It is very common among the teens to undergo psychological changes when they are in company of the other gender and feel attracted towards them. And especially at crucial stage where they are in a process of defining their career path, it could cause lot of distractions and might disturb their knowledge gain period.

2. Unethical activities Crimes have become common when both the genders are put up in the same education environment. There might be lot characteristic changes among boys and girls. When they mismatch, some ferocious kids tend to commit various harassments, physical toughness, and emotional stress to people around.

3. More involvement in personal feelings As the saying goes, opposite things attract each other, it applies to the humanly world also. Attractions among the opposite genders are the most commonly used excuse to avoid co-education system. It is natural to get attracted to the other gender at a crucial age of life where curiosity takes over your heart.

4. Unwanted arguments and issues can create unhealthy environment Both the genders come from different school of thought and hence contradiction of thoughts is common among boys and girls. If the arguments are not handled in a proper behavior then it can sometimes lead to unwanted arguments and might divert from their studies.

6 OBJECTIVES OF STUDY

17 INTERPRETATION Girls are comfortable in both girls as well as Co- ed college. It is observed that students are not with or against women education system. Only on one point it is observed that students are strongly agree was the competition faced in campus interviews ( placement) with boys. Very few girls think that they are more comfortable in girls college and others are neutral. Most of the girls are from co-ed colleges and this is their first experience studying in girls college.

It is also observed that girls lacking in confidence prefer girls college as the opportunities in girls college are more according to them. There is not much effect on appearance and dressing of girls according to survey.

FINDING OF STUDY

Girls those who have completed their graduation in Co-ed colleges, do not feel any kind of impact on their social behavior. They do not feel any type of competition or have inferiority complex while studying with boys. These girls are a little bit more confident. Due to lack of confidence some girls feel that boys are superior than them and they may create competition in every field.

Some girls do not feel competition in academics also. Girls also are sincere and have a treasure of ideas. They have more imagination and creativity. So girls can do better than boys. Most of the girls do not feel any type of burden or pressure while studying with boys. There is no any change in their behaviour. In this age, many have attraction for boys. In girls college , they are not paying more attention towards their appearance. So very few of them are thinking that boys should be there in college.

Girls who are stable do not bother about presence of boys . Most of the girls feel that girls college is providing them more opportunities. They can develop themselves and show their talents. Many girls think that they are as actively participating as they were in coed college.

18 CONCLUSION

All students are all different and unique, which is why they deserve to have the education that best fits their needs. Co- ed education or single sex education most likely, one will work best for some students, the other for other students. In this case society will function best if we offer both opportunities and let the students and parents choose.

Study about any college will help parents and students to choose the education system. The students and parents make the decision about which option would be the best fit for her academic and social preference.

Both single sex (girls) education system as well as co-ed education systems have their own benefits and drawbacks, it is unfair to say that either one is better than other.

19 RECOMMENDATION The following recommendations have been made for effects of no boys in college and its effects on all round development of girls socially, academically, behaviouristically and their participation in activities. 1. Need of Co- education system 2. Make an assessment of all round development of girls in girls college 3. Development of self-esteem and confidence in girls.

INTRODUCTION Street food is ready-to-eat food or drink sold by a hawker or a vendor in a street or other public places, such as at a market or fair. It is often sold from a portable food booth, food cart, or food truck and is meant for immediate consumption. Some street foods are regional, but many have spread beyond their region of origin. Most street foods are classed as both finger food and fast food, and are cheaper on average than restaurant meals. According to a 2007 study from the Food and Agriculture Organization, 2.5 billion people eat street food every day. Today, people may purchase street food for a number of reasons, such as to get flavorful food for a reasonable price in a sociable setting, to experience ethnic cuisines, or for nostalgia.

RELEVANCE OF THE TOPIC The street food vendors are valuable because it is a large significant area supporting the lively hoods of millions of the urban poor. The convenience and low prices make street food the most favored choice. The concept of traditional street food has acquired new dimensions in developed countries, with food streets/ food centers emerging as new tourist attractions. Major tourist destinations abroad invariably have food streets offering exotic local foods. Hence it is important to understand the food consumption behaviors of the people.

Approx 60% were localities staying with family and about 40% outsiders staying in hostel or on rent in the Pune city. Maximum number of students eats once or thrice a week on the street food junctions because it provides reasonable value for their money spent. The street food is preferred primarily for its taste, service, convenience, variety and low cost. Students prefer Taste over hygiene as important parameters while selecting a food joint. Students choose street food joint based on popularity of the joint, the particular type of food it serves and the distance from college or home/hostel. But for many of them it matters sometimes or do not matter at all. Most of the students like to consume food as evening snacks or dinner and they spend less than Rs. 100 on street food. The top three food items of choice are Street chat, Snacks like samosa/cutlet/patties/vada-pav and south-Indian dishes.

CONCLUSION & SUGGESTIONS

This survey provides an insight about the street food habits of graduate and post graduate students, their choices and preferences. This is summarized in the above section.

From a business perspective a food joint that can offer a variety, and is near the college can earn reasonable money provides the food is sold at a reasonable cost.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Street food has the potential to improve civic life in metro area by providing jobs for residents and providing places for the people to gather and interact. The vendors may use more innovative ways of cooking their products and give them new touches to make their products more unique and appetizing. The local government may provide training and seminars that will help the vendors to gain knowledge about food safety and sanitation procedures. The vendors may use a disposable utensils in serving. And in terms of condiments they may use disposable glass or plates.

INTRODUCTION

Today, many women are facing choices that their mothers never had to face. One of these choices is whether or not to go back to work after having a child. This was practically unheard of in the 1950’s.In the 1990’s it is not whether the mother will or will not go back to work, rather a question when. When did the choice become set in stone???When one thinks of the subject of working mothers, many differing opinions come to mind. What will happen to the child, will the mother have sufficient time to bond with the baby, is there any effect on her child academic? How will household chores be divided, and so on.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The general perception is that if some women are doing things differently, beyond people’s limited imagination, and out of sync with traditional thinking, like going out for jobs, wearing different type of fashionable clothes, talking freely with male members etc., immediately they are branded as loose women. India probably has still a long way to go to make our workplaces free from any prejudices, abuses and harassments. Even then we can still try at solving some of the related issues and problems with some possible solutions that have been mentioned above so that women become stronger and are able to handle any adverse situations.

1. Introduction of the topic

Advertising can be defined as another strategy as an approach towards competitive advantage. Advertising is a form of communication that includes the name of the product or service and how that product or service could potentially benefit the consumer. All marketing starts with the consumer. So consumer is a very important person to a marketer. . Advertising can also help to convince potential buyers that a firm’s product or service is superior to competitor’s product in make in quality, in price etc. it can create brand image and reduce the likelihood of brand switching even when competitors lower their prices or offer some attractive incentives.

Advertising denotes a specific attempt to popularize a specific product or service at a certain cost. It is a method of publicity. It always intentional openly sponsored by the sponsor and involves certain cost and hence is paid for. Advertising, it can be said, has a similar effect on our purchasing habits as our peer group does. Nobody jumps in to say “I need that thing” just because the ad that had just been aired on TV is extremely attractive, but yes, sometimes, we may say “let’s try this brand, the ad on TV looks good.”

2. Relevance of the topic

Definitions of Advertisement

The word advertising originates from a Latin word advertise, which means to turn to. The dictionary meaning of the term is “to give public notice or to announce publicly".

Advertising may be defined as the process of buying sponsor-identified media space or time in order to promote a product or an idea.

The American Marketing Association, Chicago, has defined advertising as “any form of non-personal presentation or promotion of ideas, goods or services, by an identified sponsor.”

What Advertisement is?

Advertisement is a mass communicating of information intended to persuade buyers to buy products with a view to maximizing a company’s profit.

The elements of advertising are:

i. It is a mass communication reaching a large group of consumers. ii. It makes mass production possible. iii. It is non-personal communication, for it is not delivered by an actual person, nor is it addressed to a specific person. iv. It is a commercial communication because it is used to help assure the advertiser of a long business life with profitable sales.

v. Advertising can be economical, for it reaches large groups of people. This keeps the cost per message low. vi. The communication is speedy, permitting an advertiser to speak to millions of buyers in a matter of a few hours. vii. Advertising is identified communication. The advertiser signs his name to his advertisement for the purpose of publicizing his identity.

What is included in Advertisement?

i. The information in an advertisement should benefit the buyers. It should give them a more satisfactory expenditure of their rupees. ii. It should suggest better solutions to their problems. iii. The content of the advertisement is within the control of the advertiser, not the medium. iv. Advertising without persuasion is ineffective. The advertisement that fails to influence anyone, either immediately or in the future, is a waste of money. v. The function of advertising is to increase the profitable sales volume. That is, advertising expenses should not increase disproportionately.

What is excluded from Advertisement?

Advertising is not an exact science. An advertiser’s circumstances are never identical with those of another; he cannot predict with accuracy what results his future advertising efforts will produce.

i. Advertising is not a game, because if advertising is done properly, both the buyer and the seller benefit from it. ii. Advertising is not a toy. Advertiser cannot afford to play with advertising. Advertising funds come from sales revenue and must be used to increase sales revenue. iii. Advertisements are not designed to deceive. The desire and hope for repeat sales insures a high degree of honesty in advertising.

Importance of Advertisement

The known effects of advertising on consumers range from creating an awareness of the product or service to influencing a buying decision. Advertising can create a shift in thinking by consumers, which may take different forms. For example, after viewing an ad, a consumer may decide that his or her usual product either seems better or worse than the one being advertised, without knowing exactly why. Other effects of advertising that create a more conscious shift in consumers' thought processes may be due to a strong informational aspect.

In the case of advertising that provides statistics or facts, this information may convince a consumer to switch brands. For example, if the manufacturers of a soup that most children love announce that the soup now has a full serving of vegetables in each portion, this can affect many parents' decisions to switch brands. Other

6 parents who don't typically buy commercial soups, but make their own, may simply get the effect of recognizing that this brand now seems healthier. While these brand awareness effects won't likely influence consumers to buy the product immediately, the soup may be on the parents' minds to purchase if at some point they can't make their own.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

RECOMMENDATIONS

 The online shopping companies should majorly invest their money into advertisement through T.V and internet as they are most likely to be viewed by consumers and appeals them the most.  The company should try more to improve the trust factor in the advertisement as maximum consumers are hesitant to buy the products only by viewing the advertisement because of the uncertainty of product shown in advertisements and actual product.  As most of the consumers are sometimes satisfied, the company’s services are advertisements should involve content by which the consumers will be satisfied about the product and hence can recommend the site to others in turn increasing the site’s buyers.  Mostly consumers are interested in brands & product information so the company should highlight most of it in their advertisement i.e. advertisements mostly should talk about product information and brands followed by price and discounts.  The advertisements should not be shown repetitively as it in no way helps to attract the consumers.  The company can save on lot of money by reducing the frequency of showcasing the advertisement as it does not add any value.  As maximum consumers do not stick to one shopping site the trust factor should be taken into consideration. Factors like reliability of product, authenticity of product etc should be focused in the advertisements to attract and create maximum loyal consumers.

INTRODUCTION

With the development of modern technology, Internet offers people more and more convenience. With the help of the Internet, people can do a lot of things without going out, like paying bills, watching movies, study online and so on. Among those, the most attractive one for people is doing shopping online. Online shopping does have many advantages but everything has two sides, some people think that it also has many disadvantages.

Online shopping attracts people because it has many advantages. Nowadays, more and more people, especially for the office worker, don’t have that much free time to go shopping they’re busy working, studying and doing other important things. So online shopping becomes the most convenient and best way for the office worker. Many people choose shopping online also because they can’t stand that crowded and noisy environment. For shopping online, they just need to choose the article they want and pay online, and then shopping is finished. To most people, shopping is not a hard and anguished job anymore, they can just stay at home, click the mouse, spend several minutes to get what they want without stepping out of the room or standing in line for checking.

In this survey we have searched about what kind of shopping is done through online way. We have made one questionnaire related to our topic.

RELEVANCE OF THE TOPIC Online shopping is considered to be a very helpful way of buying products through the internet especially during the holidays and clearance seasons. It allows customers to enjoy a wide variety of products and items not only from a specific store, but from a diverse storage that includes all kinds of items. Online shopping also provides customers with a good customer service that also occurs online.

Many people around the world prefer to shop online and buy products from several brands and companies that they cannot find or are not available for purchase in their home countries. Nowadays, and with the help of the new technology and the support of the internet, people from all around the world started to purchase items online by simply sitting in their homes.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The main aim of the survey is to find customers are satisfied with online shopping or not. That’s why we create one questioner related to same. We made survey on various online shopping sites such as flipkart, amazon ,vonik , snapdeal etc. We made survey on people who are students, doing job etc. We found many problems related to parcel delivery, damaged product, quality problem, etc.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

Online Shopping, by any standard of logic, can no longer be considered a fad, or a niche for the few and by the selected few. Retailers of all types are expanding product offerings, offering free shipping, adding all sorts of different features, and are even experimenting with Social Media. From 8 million in 2012 to 35 million now, analysts say, the number of online shoppers is expected to grow almost three times to 100 million by 2016.

Compared to the relatively lull scenario a few years back, people are now buying everything from Apparel to Electronics to Cosmetics and Furniture from online stores.

Of the 100 million online shoppers, about 40% are expected to be women, whose Tier-I counterparts are already outspending men by 2X, shopping across categories like apparel, beauty and skincare, home furnishing, baby products and even, jewellery.

Some sites like flipkart, snapdeal, olx, and amazon haven’t fulfill the requirement of customer. Average people spend 1000 to 2000 rupees on online shopping per month.

CONCLUSION

So online shopping is offering convenience as well as disadvantages. On one hand, we enjoy shopping without going out. On the other hand, we need to be very careful when choosing and trading online.

RECOMMENDATIONS

There were several recommendations that emerged through the course of this research to limit the negative effects of advertising on the adolescents. Some of these recommendations were given by the psychologists interviewed during this research while the others came from the parents of adolescents the authors of the research collectively analysed the results and drafted the following suggestions:

• A major emphasis is placed upon the effective communication between adolescents, their peers and family. Dr. Sonakshi Singh, a relationship expert states that if the adolescents are surrounded by Quality Company and meaningful conversation, they themselves would be less inclined towards entertainment mediums such as television or the internet.

• Parents and family play a key role in limiting the use of television and internet. Constant monitoring with adequate reasons would also make the teenager more sensible in his use of these mediums.

• A severe check upon the ethics and morals of the ads by the advertising companies should also help reduce these negative influences.

• Keeping a child involved in healthy, outdoor activities and constructing mental stimulation will automatically make a child more active.

• Habits like reading a novel, playing an instrument or dancing also boosts the endorphins and keeps teenagers mind active.

• The kind of programs viewed by the parents or the members or the family also need to be checked as many times the programs being watched by the mother may have content which is not suitable for the child. Since these programs play in the house the child unwillingly absorbs these messages.

• As children grow older the parents and schools should take out time to explain to them about various experiences which are new to them such as infatuation, use of hazardous substances like alcohol etc, need to compete with others for social approval.

• Families should also change with the changing world and become of acceptable of the needs of today’s child.

• Warnings and age requirements for watching movies etc should be honoured religiously.

• Habits like reading a novel, playing an instrument or dancing also boosts the endorphins and keeps teenagers mind active.

• Families should also change with the changing world and become of acceptable of the needs of today’s child.

• Warnings and age requirements for watching movies etc should be honoured religiously.

Introduction of the topic

Under the government’s ‘no helmet, no petrol’ rule, petrol pumps were strictly advised to not give fuel to drivers without helmets. The state government has decided to make it mandatory for all fuel pumps to report vehicle number to transport authorities whenever they come across a two wheeler rider not wearing a helmet, but after giving them petrol.

To make helmets a mandatory affair for motorcyclists, the Police Commissioner implemented a ‘no helmet, no petrol’ rule from June1, 2016. The police conducted awareness programmes regarding the same from June 20th, before implementing the rule.

The police held a special meeting with the petrol pump owners asking them not to sell petrol to motorists not wearing helmets. Police will be present at petrol pumps to keep an eye on violators. The DCP stated that the police would initiate action against ranging from Rs. 100 to Rs. 500 will be collected from them. Rourkela in the state of Odisa was the first city to implement the rule on December 18th 2015.

This is not the first time rule like this is being implemented. The first devious attempt was made in 2004 by then traffic police chef, Tejdeep kaur Menon, who took up the initiative at a time when there was no specific pressure from the government or any other group

Relevance of the topic

“NO HELMET NO PETROL” was an initiative by Mumbai Traffic Police, to regulate the use of Helmets to the fullest, under assumption that strict laws would compel the citizens to use safety protection. This topic was chosen by us to understand the actual implementation as well as to know the opinion of people towards this topic.

According to the findings of the survey there is a rising awareness created by this policy amongst the individuals regarding the usability of helmet while driving and its profitability. Thus the policy “No Helmet No Petrol” was successful in its task.

Recommendations

Recommendation for “No petrol No helmet” would be that it is very important stand for the safety of people which saves life of many people who lost their life in road accident.

Many people lost their relatives in road accident. Many people are unaware of about the no helmet no petrol rule.

When the rule “No helmet No petrol” was approved, the petrol pump dealer and citizen did not follow it which was very disappointing thing.

Government should take serious action on this and make people aware by doing street shows, banner, and advertisement on television about the boon of no helmet no petrol. It will save life of many people and people are the real assets of nation.

Thus, these above would be some recommendations for “No helmet, No petrol”

FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

According to the survey done, it was very easy for the maximum number of girls to get adapted to the new environment. Few of them had acute difficulty in communicating and few of them did not find it much difficult.

New environment includes everything, climate, food habits, new people, etc. For maximum number of girls it was moderately difficult to get adjusted to the new environment.

The time required for getting adjusted to the new environment for maximum number of people was around one month.

INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC:-

DEFINITION:

• PCOD (Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease) or PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) is a disease characterized by multiple (‘poly’) cysts (small sacs filled with fluid) in the ovaries. Patients with PCOD have abnormal levels of hormones that result in irregular menses, infertility and certain masculine changes in the body.

• It is a set of symptoms due to elevated androgens (male hormones) in women.

SYMPTOMS:

• Irregular menses (usually delayed) • Weight gain and difficulty in losing weight • Acne, oily skin, dandruff • Excessive hair growth on the face, chest, back • Thinning of hair • Infertility • Miscarriage • High blood pressure • Diabetes • High cholesterol.

CAUSE AND DIAGNOSIS:

• PCOD is due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

• Diagnosis is based on two of the following three findings:- no ovulation, high androgen levels, and ovarian cysts. Cysts may be detectable by ultrasound.

COURSE OF TREATMENT:

PCOD has no cure. The primary treatments for PCOD include: lifestyle changes, medications and surgery. Treatment may involve lifestyle changes such as incorporating exercise in daily routine and changes in diet.

Birth control pills may help with improving the regularity of periods, excess hair growth, and acne. Metformin and anti-androgens may also help.

Other typical acne treatments and hair removal techniques may be used.

Goals of treatment may be considered under four categories: • Lowering of insulin resistance levels • Restoration of fertility • Treatment of hirsutism or acne • Restoration of regular menstruation, and prevention of endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer.

RELEVANCE OF THE TOPIC:-  PCOD is the most common endocrine disorder among women between the ages of 18 and 44. It affects approximately 2% to 20% of this age group depending on how it is defined. • It is one of the leading causes of poor fertility. • One in five Indian women suffer from PCOD.

HYPOTHESIS:-

Prevalence of PCOD in Young Girls- There was no hypothesis testing involved in the study as it was an effort to evaluate the prevalence of the syndrome amongst the population that was being screened for the interventional study.

Effect of Exercise on PCOD- The study hypothesized that exercise would improve the clinical, hormonal, biochemical and psychological functions in girls and thus help them manage the disorder.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:-

Identify the adolescent girls who are at high risk for PCOD using various symptoms which include:

 Missed periods, irregular periods, or very light periods

 Ovaries that are large or have many cysts

 Excess body hair, including the chest, stomach, and back (hirsutism)

 Weight gain, especially around the belly (abdomen)

 Acne or oily skin

 Male-pattern baldness or thinning hair

 Infertility

 Small pieces of excess skin on the neck or armpits (skin tags)

 Dark or thick skin patches on the back of the neck, in the armpits, and under the breasts

 Acanthosis nigricans (Acanthosis nigricans is a brown to black, poorly defined, velvety hyperpigmentation of the skin) may present with thickened, velvety, relatively darker areas of skin on the neck, armpit and in skin folds.

 Find association between PCOD risk with selected variable i.e. general chronic anovulatory infertility Find association between PCOD risk status with selected variable i.e. general health status. PCOD is a common disorder, often complicated by and hyperandrogenism with the clinical manifestation of oligomenorrhea , hirsutism and acne.

 Many women with this condition are obese and have a higher prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance, type2diabetes and sleep apnoea than is observed in the general population. They exhibit an adverse Cardiovascular risk profile , characteristic of the cardio metabolic syndrome as suggested by a higher reported incidence of hypertension, dyslipidaemia, visceral obesity, insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia.

 PCOD is frequently diagnosed by gynecologists and it is therefore important that there is a good understanding of the long-term implications of the diagnosis in order to offer a holistic approach to the disorder. Hence refer the girls who have PCOD to the gynecologists.

 To make an awareness about polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOD) among adolescent college girls. The major purpose of this study is to create awareness among adolescent college girls about PCOD. This will help them to modify their life style and to have better reproductive life later.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY:-

Scope of this study is to facilitate: 1. Early diagnosis and treatment of PCOD, 2. Early detection and treatment of anxiety and mood disorders, 3. Early detection and treatment of fertility problems and prevention of pregnancy complications, 4. Early detection and diagnosis of pre-diabetes risk factors.

PREVALENCE OF PCOD:-

Estimation of the ‘true’ prevalence has to be made with caution as many of the data available were collected prior to the new Rotterdam diagnostic criteria. Most clinical data suggests a prevalence of 6–7% of the population. The present Rotterdam criteria are current best practice but it is recognized that PCOD encompasses a wide spectrum of disorder, overlapping with normality. The prevalence of PCOD may differ according to ethnic background; for example, in women of South Asian origin, PCOD presents at a younger age, has more severe symptoms and a higher prevalence.

Cardiovascular Disease: In January 1997 researchers in New Zealand reported that women with multiple cysts on their ovaries were at increased risk of heart disease. In the study 42 % of women with heart disease also had 8/> ovarian cysts compared to 22 % of women without heart disease. They should hence be regularly monitored and advised to consume less fat and cholesterol .Similarly, PCOD is characterized by endothelial dysfunction and resistance to the vasodilatation action of insulin. An increased risk of myocardial infarction in PCOD women than age matched controls has also been reported.

Obesity: Obesity is also a feature observed and estimated to affect 50% of PCOD women, classically presented in patients with upper body obesity which has been associated with menstrual disturbances .It amplifies biochemical and clinical abnormalities of PCOD. Previously obesity was thought to be the cause of PCOD but now understood as a modifier of the condition.

Infertility: Another complicating feature of PCOD is the effects it has on ovulation and fertility with >75% of women with anovulation infertility and treatment is based upon the patient’s characteristics. Besides follicular arrest and impaired selection of dominant follicle is possible as also the risk of multiple pregnancy with treatment.

COMPLICATIONS OF PCOD:- • Complications in pregnancy

Women with PCOD have a greater risk of complications viz. Gestational diabetes , pre-eclampsia, pre-term labor, small for gestational age, pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), spontaneous abortions etc.

• Sleep Apnea

It has been reported that women with PCOD have increased Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) and daytime sleepiness.

• Depression

There was a higher prevalence of depression in PCOD patients associated with higher body mass index and greater insulin resistance .Besides, Impaired Glucose Tolerance, Dyslipidaemia, Metabolic syndrome , Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and higher levels of C-reactive protein, a disease marker for cardiovascular diseases are other probable risks involved.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:-

The medical information was recorded by using the questionnaire on whether the participant had been previously diagnosed with PCOD. A few questions were included to assess the diet preferences and exercise routine. The prevalence of potential symptoms in various candidates was assessed. The questions were framed on the basis of information obtained from a gynecologist. The results were kept confidential.

Population- Population for the research on PCOD is the girls of Karvenagar and Kothrud areas of Pune city. The

Data collection- This is a questionnaire based study (primary data) on the awareness of Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD). Individuality was assured when the subjects filled the survey. The questionnaire is filled in paper and pen method. After the data collection, statistical measurement and analysis was done.

Sample size- Participants who undertook the survey are undergraduate and postgraduate girl students. 14 questions were asked to 50 girls from various backgrounds and the age group was between 21- 25 yrs.

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION:-

1. What is your age?

AGE

20%

40%

10%

30%

22 TO 24 YEARS 21 YEARS 19 YEARS 20 YEARS

INTERPRETATION: It was observed that the number of PCOD problems was less amongst 19 to 20 years of age girls as they have less stress as well as these girls have time to exercise and eat healthy food, while as the girls come in their 20’s .i.e. when they are 21 to 24 years there life becomes more stressful due to career tensions, workload and they have no time to exercise, eat healthy food and this results in lack of sleep and thus all of this results to PCOD.

2. Do you know about PCOD

AWARENESS

120% 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% 19 TO 20 YEARS 21 TO 24 YEARS 25 YEARS

YES NO

INTERPRETATION:After the survey it was observed that the girls are aware about PCOD. Which is good sign because awareness about PCOD is a must amongst girls, but students between 19 to 20 years there are still a lot many who need to be made aware because it is necessary for girls to know the symptoms and the necessary steps to be taken to prevent it. Since PCOD leads to life altering symptoms like infertility and diabetes, it is a major concern for all young women.

3. Are you facing PCOD problem?

PCOD PROBLEM FACED

YES NO

INTERPRETATION: In the sample size of 50 girls, 21 had PCOD i.e. 42% of the sample size had the disease.

It was observed that mostly due to today’s rising trend of unhealthy lifestyle and career related stress and heavy work and education loads are some of the factors which cause cysts to form in the ovaries which lead to hormonal imbalance and PCOD.

4. If yes, which of the following symptoms you are facing ?

PCOD SYMPTOMS FACED 120% 100% 100%

INTERPRETATION:  All the 21 women faced the problem of irregular periods.  10 of them had excess body hair.  6 had a high BP problem.  14 women had heavy hairfall.  14 women had excess weight gain.  It is thus observed that irregular periods, heavy hairfall, and excess weight gain are the most common symptoms.  High BP is the least common, prevalent only in severe cases.  Excess body hair is found in almost half the candidates.

5. Are you being treated for PCOD?

PCOD TREATMENT

YES NO

INTERPRETATION: It is found that the girls are bold enough to fight against this disease and take treatment for it and discuss their problems in detail. 90% of the women who have the symptoms are being treated for it. He remaining 20% agreed to visit a gynecologist and get treated before the symptoms worsen. But there are certain girls who belong to rural areas and certain to conservative backgrounds who even though face PCOD problems but do not take treatment for it.

6. Do you consume any pills for PCOD?

INTERPRETATION: There were some who were not at all aware of this arising problem of PCOD amongst girls but they were also keen to get aware about it and make others aware about it. Certain were found to have absolutely no interest. Mostly it was found that the girls were aware and wanted to make many girls aware about this problem.

Thus, it is important that all the girls need to be made aware about PCOD as it is important for their future life. Our future lies in our hands and we need to make the most of it so be aware and create awareness.

FINDINGS OF STUDY PCOD is a common endocrine disorder of female adolescence and adulthood with exact etiology unknown but pathology rooted in insulin resistance, hyperandrogenism, and chronic anovulation. A multitude of clinic factors can present including hirsutism, menstrual irregularities, metabolic abnormalities, acne, and increased BMI. History, physical exam, and laboratory tests are all components of making a diagnosis as some adolescents do not present with all the clinical factors. Treatments include healthy dietary habits and regular exercise accompanied by additional medications to treat presenting symptoms.

CONCLUSION:- Primary care providers should be suspicious of PCOD in adolescent females regardless of their weight. A high level of suspicion will facilitate timely recognition, prompt treatment, and potential reduction or elimination of future morbidities until more information is known. This study explored the prevalence of PCOD in young women and the mechanism behind its manifestation. It studied the lifestyle of the affected girls and whether they were taking proper precautions in terms of visits to the doctor, exercise and diet, and their views on spreading awareness through different mediums. Treatment of PCOD differs from person to person depending upon the severity of the disease. This study has been successful in spreading awareness and assessing the practices of the young women, giving them an insight with respect to protecting themselves from the negative consequences associated with PCOD.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

The guidelines advise that an adult women be diagnosed with PCOD if she has at least 2 of the following symptoms: excess androgen, ovulatory dysfunctions, or polycystic ovaries. In addition, any diagnosis of PCOD must rule out others androgen-excess disorders. Physicians should also screen patients for endometrial cancer, mood disorders, obstruction sleep apnea, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Diagnosis of PCOD in adolescent girls should be based on clinical or biochemical signs of hyperandrogenism, after excluding other possible causes, in the presence of persistent oligomenorrhea, the task force advises.

A PCOD diagnosis during perimenopause and menopause should be based on a documented, long term history of oligominorrhea and hyperandrogenism in reproductive years, the report advises. A finding of PCOD morphology via ultrasound would also provide supportive evidence, although it should be noted that this is least likely in menopausal women. The guidelines recommend against routine ultrasound for endometrial thickness in women with PCOD.

In diagnosing and treating women with PCOD , physicians should look for terminal hair growth, acne, alopecia ,acanthosis nigricans , and skin tags during physical examination , according to the new guidelines. The guidelines also recommend screening for ovulatory status using menstrual history.

The guidelines advice assessment of body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, and oral glucose tolerance, overweight and obese patients with PCOD symptoms should be screened for obstruction sleep apnea. Adults and adolescents should be screened and treated for depression and anxiety.

The committee recommends treatment with hormonal contraceptives as the firstline therapy for menustral abnormalities and hirutism /acne. Exercise therapy is recommended to manage weight, alone or with a calorie-restricted diet.

The task force advises against the use of metformn as a first -line PCOD treatment, but metformin is recommended for women with PCOD and type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance who do not succeed with

27 weight loss and exercise. Metformin is also recommended for women who cannot take hormonal contraceptives.

For infertility, the report recommends clomiphene citrate as a first -line treatment for women undergoing is vitro fertilization, the guidelines recommend metformin as adjuvant therapy to prevent ovarian hyperstimulation.

INTRODUCTION Sex education is instruction on issues relating to human sexuality Common avenues for sex education are parents or caregivers, formal school programs, and public health campaigns. Sex education in India refers to (1) the sex education courses targeted at adolescents in school, (2) family planning for adults, and (3) HIV/AIDS Prevention Education. The sex ratio in India is skewed towards males, with 962 girls born per 1000 males in 2001. However, the most plausible explanation for fewer female than male births is attributed to prenatal sex determination, followed by induced abortion of female foetuses.[1]This suggests that potential mothers are socialized to believe that having a female child is detrimental to their family, either economically or socially. There are also some misconceptions about sex education in India. Traditionally, adolescents in many cultures were not given any information on sexual matters, with the discussion of these issues being considered taboo.

RELEVANCE OF THE TOPIC

 Would reduce the number of teenage pregnancies.  Awareness regarding HIV AIDS would rise.  It is important that the youth should be familiar with the purpose of providing education in order to develop an open and healthy approach towards sex and sexuality in order to assist them to make a well thought judgments..  It is necessary that a child is aware about sex education.

RECCOMENDATION

This study has highlighted the need of adolescent girls to have accurate and adequate information about menstruation and its appropriate management. Formal as well as informal channels of communication such as mothers, sisters and friends, need to be emphasized for the delivery of such information. In view of the vital role of the mothers, it is very important that the mother be armed with the correct and appropriate information on reproductive health, so that she can give this knowledge to her growing girl child. It is also essential for the teachers, who may not have the necessary skills to impart reproductive health education, including menstrual hygiene to their students. They have to be given requisite skills – usually through training or workshops. Much more efforts are needed to curb the misbelieves and taboos among the adolescent school girls.

There is a strong need to address issues like the restrictions which are imposed on or practiced by the adolescent school girls in the rural and urban areas. Considering the lesser use of sanitary pads by the urban and rural adolescent girls, there is a need to mobilize adolescent girls to use sanitary pads. The reproductive health implications of menstruation and its management, and its effect on the quality of life which permeates school and other social activities are many for the adolescent school girls. These invariably call for an urgent address by all the stakeholders-family, school community, civil society, and service providers to entrench correct menstrual perceptions and to enable proper hygiene practices amongst this segment of the population. In India, all organizations which work on reproductive health should work adequately on the neglected issue of menstrual hygiene and management to achieve “Sanitation for dignity and health” for all women (The Delhi Declaration, SACOSAN III 2008). This essentially will contribute to the attainment of some MDG.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Can be use for further research related to following

1. Recognize that many different styles of leadership can be effective.

2. Men, be aware of how much time and space in meetings or group interaction. Make room for the contributions of women. When asked for a decision by a women or for your opinion if you are an internal processor, let her know you are in process of thinking about it so she knows she is heard.

3. Women, get comfortable asserting more space for yourself. When dealing with men in decision making, try to stop yourself from processing out loud. If you do process out loud, let the man know that this is a process you use for decision making and you are not asking him what to do.

4. Finally, Get Information. Learn about male and female styles of communication and be able to use both. You need both to deal with the complexity and diversity of situations in today's world both personally and professionally. Don't be afraid to recognize differences. Once you do that it will be easier to have open discussions in order to find similarities and use those differences to achieve greater goals together.
