GSU Event Portal

GSU Event Portal focuses on providing an ease to people who wish to attend new events in a specific area of interest, where the events that are uploaded to the portal will be managed by the Event Organizers who are part of the portal. Portal provides free as well as paid events, so that people can choose events as per their interest. The portal provides Organizers the flexibility to create, manage, edit and remove events of any type and size. On the other side, Visitors can lookup events, they can save an event for their future interest and also pay for an event where applicable. The application provides a user-friendly interface so that the Organizers and the Visitors can get the benefits of the service provided by the event without any trouble. The application helps users to find an event they wish to attend with ease. They can browse events according to location, date and type. The main objective of the portal is advertising which helps the organizers to advertise their events and grab as much attention of the people to make their event more successful. This age is the age of technology and online advertising of event can help the organizers to attract more people in an easy way compared to paper advertisement. The people interested in an event, can even buy tickets of that event through this portal

Efficiency of plant nutrient enhancer for sustainable agriculture in diverse agro-ecosystem

Agriculture is a dominant sector in India, thanks largely to the Green Revolution. Though it has enhanced agricultural production, productivity, and the country’s economy, long-term studies show that synthetic fertilizers and agrochemicals injudiciously deplete soil fertility and disrupt the soil ecology. In this context, a few traditional farming practices (such as Homa farming, Biodynamic farming, Agroecological farming, Permaculture, and Natural farming, under the umbrella of “Organic farming”) appear to be a viable alternative for resolving the majority of the problems associated with conventional input-intensive agriculture. Natural farming, in particular, is lately become a catchphrase amongst farmers, policymakers, and stakeholders. In its broadest meaning, natural farming is practicing agriculture that adheres to nature’s laws by considering the balance of natural biodiversity around the farm to ensure the least disruption to agroecology. The nutrient management in natural farming practice broadly revolves around the management of plant nutrient enhancers viz; Jeevamrut, Ghanjeevamrut and Beejamrut coupled with other components like Achchhadan (mulching), and mix cropping. Different farm-based fermented concoctions, named as Jeevamrut, Ghanjeevamrut and Beejamrut, are added to the soil or used to treat seeds to revitalize the soil microflora, and so to enhance soil fertility. The different studies revealed that nutritional and microbial analysis of the Jeevamrut exhibited the presence of different macro- and micro-nutrients and a large population of essential microbes including Azotobacter sp., Actinomycetes sp., and phosphate solubilizers. The microbial counts increased from its initial values with time as the incubation progressed. Different reviews have been reported for variations in the microbial counts (bacteria and fungi) as well as nutrient contents in the Jeevamrut prepared from different sources. Application methods of the Jeevamrut have also their impact on its efficiency. The solid form of the Jeevamrut, Ghanjeevamrut; also have great nutritional content and culturable microbial count compared to the Jeevamrut and FYM. The impact of application methods of a fermented concoction called Beejamrut, have also been varied for germination, vigor, and protection of seeds, seedlings, etc., from soil- and seed-borne pathogens, according to different studies

Developments and modifications in passive solar still: A review

Due to the increment in pollution as well as global warming, the scarcity of potable water is increasing day by day. There are several ways to obtain pure water, but solar desalination with use of solar still is the cheapest way. The purified water production from passive solar remains lower; hence the research requires to increase it. Researchers tried different ways to enhance the pure water production from the passive solar still. Present work shows the numerous developments and modifications done in passive solar still to increase distillate output. From the review paper, it has been found that passive solar still is an essential device and it has many scopes of research work to increase distillate output.Scopu

Applications of evacuated tubes collector to harness the solar energy: a review

Solar energy is a need of an hour. At present, due to the global warming effect, researchers are moving towards the research work on solar energy. Solar energy can be harnessed by solar thermal collectors. Flat plate collector, evacuated tubes collector, parabolic concentrator, etc. are used as efficient apparatus to use thermal energy for useful application. Among the above collectors, evacuated tubes collector is famous as compared with others due to the lower heat loss. This review paper shows various applications of evacuated tubes collector like solar water heating, solar drying, solar air heating, and solar desalination. It has been found that evacuated tubes collector is the most suitable apparatus for solar thermal applications.Scopu
