It is the provision of energy that meets the demands of the present generation without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their needs. It includes all renewable energy sources such as hydroelectricity, wind energy, solar energy, wave power, geothermal, bio energy and tidal energy. It also includes technologies that designed to improve energy efficiency. The renewable energy technologies are mainly grouped into three sectors as first, second and third generation technologies. Green energy and energy conservation techniques comes under the category of sustainable energy development. Many European countries employ these techniques in the local level. These techniques are implemented right from energy carriers such as hydrogen and liquid nitrogen carriers. The recent statistic figures show that these green sustainable energies of rapid importance as the planet earth is suffering from global warming. This sustainable energy development has got links with all the sectors of energy such as energy production, conservation, and decrease of pollution and to implement techniques that are eco friendly.

Nowadays, conducting supervision and inspection to prevent occurrence of crime and to remove its commitment grounds in the society is one of the main criminal policies of the governments which is usually done by governmental and judicial institutions. Planning and creating supervisory and inspective institutions and sanctions can be used to achieve the abovementioned goals. However, the role of people and NGOs in prevention of crime occurrence cannot be ignored; fear of social reactions forces a person to respect the values of the society and avoid norm-breaking. The viewpoint of Islam is using the inspective and supervisory tools with an emphasis on the role of people to obviate the grounds of crime occurrence in society. The rulers of the Islamic societies have practiced fighting against crime with an emphasis on the situational prevention. Moreover, promotion of good and prevention of evil has been an instance of the citizens’ participation in supervising each others’ deeds through recommendation of the admirable actions and prevention of the evil deeds.

Ultrasonic velocity at 318 K in the binary systems of Methyl methacrylate + Toluene and Methyl methacrylate + Dimethylacetamide has been evaluated as a function of concentration and temperature, by using certain theoretical models like Nomoto’s relation, Impedance dependence relation, Van-Deal and Van-geel ideal mix relations, Free length theory and Jungie’s method. The experimental values of ultrasonic velocity are compared with theoretical values. The best suitable theoretical relation was found by calculating the percentage deviation and chi-square test.

A rapid, simple, sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of Molybdenum (VI) using Cinnamaldehyde thosemicabazone (CMTSC). Molybdenum (VI) forms a green coluored water-soluble complex with CMTSC in presence of Triton-X (100) (5%) (micellar medium) and the complex shows maximum absorbance while the reagent blank shows negligible absorbance at lmax 400 nm and at pH 4.0. Beer's law was obeyed in the range 0.095-0.959 mg/mL and the optimum concentration range from ringbom plot was 0.191-0.863 mg/mL of Molybdenum (VI). The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity for the coloured solution are found to be 5.05x104 L mol-1cm-1 and 0.0018-µg.cm-2 respectively. The interference effect of various diverse ions has been studied. The complex shows 1:1 [Mo (VI): CMTSC] stoichiometry with stability constant 3.5x105. The standard deviation of the method in the determination of 0.383-µg ml-1 of Molybdenum (VI) was 0.001. First and second order derivative spectrophotometric methods are developed at lmax 420 nm and 440 nm respectively for the determination of Molybdenum (VI) which was more sensitive than the zero order method. The developed method has been used for the determination of Molybdenum (VI) in foodstuffs, pharmaceutical samples and in alloys. The results are in good agreement with the certified values.

India is passing through conclusive due to advancement in science and technology but, at the same time 882 million people of this country are caught in the twilight zone of development and under-development. Despite the fact of viewing human resources as an asset, there is a gloomy side to this issue. An element that has surfaced in the warning single of the world bank as related to India is that by the turn of this century, India will have nearly three-fourths of the world ’illiterate population, on the side we side we have abundance of human resources the brain trust of a nation, and on the other side, we are in a state of emergency to convert the human as an asset,. This is possible only through continuous recycling training and re-training. In the past human resource was treated as a commodity exchanged for wages. It was considered as cogs in the machine. It was hired and fired at will. Large scale un employment and availability of human resources in plenty in developing nations made employers devote less attention to human resources. Today there is a linkage between resource and performance of the organizations in terms of productivity and production. Every organization will grow and derive in the present day environment with the help of its training and development. This research paper is made to know the various training given to the employees in this particular institution for the development of the employees.
