Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. The dynamics of public administration calls for fast and adaptive responses to challenges and problems faced by civil servants in dealing with day-to-day and long-term administrative issues. Post partition, the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) has provided a firm foundation for all-round development in the country. This anthology presents myriad experiences, encounters, initiatives, innovations and successes of eminent IAS officers who have left an imprint on the administrative system. It is full of reflections and musings that are steeped in profound administrative wisdom. It will serve as a reference and research material for those who seek to explore, analyse and learn from the nuances of administrative action. The book is divided into three parts: the first devoted to ?unforgettables? events, episodes and kernels of experiences; the second dedicated to ?cherishables?, i.e., veterans and stalwarts among administrators whose rich memories are worth sharing with the present and future generations of civil servants; and the third part includes recollections of their interface with the Chief Ministers with whom they came in close contact. The contributions made in this book exemplify the nature of law and order and other related problems faced by civil servants and some of these may serve as bases for case studies for the training of probationers in training academies and institutes. Finally, the knowledge, experience and appreciation of unforgettable events and cherishable personalities may also open up avenues for further administrative reforms in the country. Senior citizens, enlightened opinion makers and knowledge seekers of administrative experience will find this volume an interesting read.…

Organic farming is being talked at various forum as a new approach and panacea for conservation of soil health and natural resources. Huge organic wastes being produced at crop fields cattle yards poultry farms fish hatcheries municipal waste and garbage which need to be properly utilized to save our environment. This compendium presents basic concepts about the characteristics and composition of organic waste and its potentials for crop production. The chemistry and biochemistry of organic waste its decomposition and mineralisation and manifestations on soil physical chemical and microbial make up are highly specialized fields of study. Specialists in each of these topics have been invited to contribute and thus a comprehensive account on the biochemistry of organic residues as source of plant nutrients humification process and influence on soil fauna have been thoroughly dealt with. The compendium will be very useful for those involved in maintaining soil health natural resource conservation and organic farming movement. The book will also be equally beneficial for teachers and students of agricultural and environment sciences. 246 pp.…
