Not Available ; The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), Cochin was recognized as a 'Designated National Repository' by the Government of India, in December 2007 in consultation with the National Biodiversity Authority under the Biological Diversity Act, 2002. A Designated National Repository (DNR) is an Institution authorised to keep in safe custody of specimens of different categories of biological material. Researchers in the field of Marine Sciences can now deposit their valuable holotype specimens (species new to science) in the Marine Biodiversity Museum of CMFRI. ; Not Available

Higher education is now widely accepted as a foremost instrument for fostering economic growth. The Indian higher education system is the largest in the world in terms of the number of institutions and the second largest in enrollments. About 29.6 million students are currently enrolled in higher education institutions in India. There are around 712 universities and 36,671 colleges in India. This mammoth network of higher education institutions includes a large private sector that has emerged explicitly and outsized during last two decades. The overall share of the unaided private higher education institutions has reached 63.9 percent, and the share of student enrollments in these institutions has reached 58.9 percent. The authors make an attempt to present an overview of Indian higher education and within the same frame tries to delineate and identify the advent and growth of private higher education.

Indigenous people are the most impoverished and socially disadvantaged groups in India. They account for 8.2% of the total Indian population. This group stands at the lower strata of access and participation in higher education despite constitutional protection and strong Government affirmative action policies. The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) of these groups has improved significantly during the last decade, but the participation in absolute terms is much below the national average. This paper examines issues concerning higher education access and equity for communities of Indigenous people, gender disparity within this group and also highlights their unique problems which may require divergent policy responses. ; Etninių grupių atstovai yra labiausiai nuskurdusi ir socialiai diskriminuojama grupė Indijoje. Jie sudaro apie 8,2 proc. visų Indijos gyventojų. Nepaisant Konstitucijoje numatytos paramos ir gausių Vyriausybės skatinamųjų priemonių, ši grupė nepakyla nuo žemiausios pakopos siekdama aukštojo mokslo. Bendra tokių etninių grupių įstojusiųjų asmenų proporcija (The Gross Enrolment Ratio, GER) per pastaruosius dešimt metų ženkliai išaugo, bet absoliutus skaičius rodo žymų atotrūkį nuo nacionalinio vidurkio. Šiame straipsnyje aptariamas aukštojo mokslo prieinamumas ir etninių grupių bendruomenių lygiateisiškumas, lyčių santykis šiose grupėse, pabrėžiamas problemų išskirtinumas ir tai, jog šios problemos reikalauja įvirialypių politinių sprendimų.

This book addresses policies and strategies on internationalization across very different higher education systems globally, including inter alia from South America, Asia and Africa. The volume zooms in on the interplay between the national, institutional and "human" levels of internationalization. The latter is especially novel in that it pays particular attention to how internationalization shapes individuals--rather than only to the effects on student learning or research productivity. The work expounds on (a) the role of internationalization in fostering ethical forms of integration and preparing citizens to engage in dialogue across those differences, (b) the possible trade-offs between private benefits and negative social effects, and (c) the contribution of internationalization to a "global community of minds." By discussing the human dimension, it becomes clear how internationalization can contribute to defining unique ways to confront today's societal challenges. Moreover, as the world is facing unprecedented challenges in the wake of the coronavirus, a specific chapter examines how the pandemic has made diversity among different student groups more explicit and what implications this holds for the globalisation of higher education. A range of methodologies was adopted, including qualitative (case studies and interviews) and quantitative (e.g. surveys). The book draws on both strategic frameworks and research projects to provide new perspectives on how internationalization plays out, especially linking strategies with human impacts.

The effluents generated from synthesis and processing plant of Picric acid is reported to be carcinogenic and hence needs to be treated to reduce its concentration below safe discharge limit. Present paper deals with studies on mineralization of Picric acid by adopting photochemical and electrochemical processes and the efficacy of the both processes have been explored in details. Crucial process parameters viz. pH, concentration of oxidizer and catalyst for mineralization of Picric acid are optimized. In photochemical method, It is observed that Picric acid is treated to bring down its concentration from 100 ppm to ≤ 1 ppm under Photo-Fenton process in 2 hrs whereas same treatment carried out under Photo- catalytic process takes only 1 hr. It is also observed that TiO2 xerogel and beads of nano-TiO2 are more efficient compared to that of commercially available TiO2. The TiO2–Polysulfone (PS) beads show less efficiency than TiO2 xerogel. However, the Picric acid oxidation efficiency for TiO2–PS beads is comparable and advantage of TiO2–PS beads is that it can easily be recovered from the treated solution and can be reused in the next experiments. Electrochemical process is user's friendly and economical. In case of electrochemical treatments at optimized process parameters under Electro-Fenton reaction picric acid is completely mineralized below its drain discharge limit where as under Electro-peroxide reaction picric acid is mineralized upto 3 ppm within 3 hrs. The treated solution has been characterized by using UV-Visible spectrophotometer, High performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzer. The observed results have been interpreted and reported in the present paper.
