Land area of arable land in our country is 159.7 million hectares (394.6 million acres) which is listed as the second largest of world, first is The United States. India is among the top global producers of many crops that includes wheat, cotton, pulses, rice, ground-nuts, fruits and vegetables. A major part of National economy depends on agriculture and jobs or businesses associated with it. It is a good fact that most of land of country contribute for this use but, however, farmers are not satisfied with the agro-market. Though being the major industry, people associated with it have to face many challenges in the markets of agriculture, mainly financially weak farmers. Among many challenges for farmers, poor conditions of Agro-Markets or Mandis in our country are one of major challenge. Being the main spot of business of these big industries, they shall be up-lifted. The aim of this research is to derive a design app...

During construction of rural roads the major considerations should be its performance and sustainability. The conventional methods and techniques tend to promote technology and material, however, these methods and techniques are challenging and distant which usually results in higher cost of construction. It is the duty of construction experts and engineers to spend every single unit of taxpayers’ capital smartly with optional utility singularly under constraints of resources. This whole as one calls for innovation in rural road construction to achieve cost-effectiveness. Many methods and techniques were implemented worldwide but could not become successfull in India due to many constraints and lack of exposure.Waste management is also a major issue linked with rural development.

A natural resource is anything that people can use, which comes from nature. People do not make natural resources but gather them from earth. Natural resources include all naturally occurring materials which include wood in itself. Wood is considered as one of the most important elements of nature. Wood is an excellent medium. It’s strong, light and flexible. You can shape it, carve it, colour it.Collecting wood simply for its natural beauty is the start of many of useful works. Using wood that have been recycled gives works the most pleasure. It has been appreciated about being the ability to transform a row resource into a timeless piece of art. Wood being used in various products is nowadays a favourite element for people which are directly derived from nature. The aim of this research paper is to expand the utilisation of wood by improving ...

As urban populations growth increase, the quality of the urban environment, will play an increasingly crucial role in public health with respect to issues ranging from provision of potable water and sanitation, injury prevention and solid waste disposal to the interface between urban poverty, environmental health and wellbeing. Unsustainable behaviour of transport and urban land and its uses is a driver, or root cause, of a number of significant level, and interrelated environment and health hazards faced by urban dwellers in developing countries. These health and environmental links cut across a range of policy sectors and thus are oftentimes overlooked in making policies. They are a focus of this Priority Risks section on the environment of urban areas

How we can identify building wastage of energy, waste management, water, health and comfort, and its impact on environment. Using these perimeters, I have taken case study of Public-residential Building in composite climate to identify the key energy predictors for Residential Building (load bearing structure) at Gwalior. To achieve this, comprehensive energy assessment is carried out of a Public Residential building in Gwalior. Retrofitting is the process of modifying something after it has been manufactured. For buildings, this means making changes to the systems inside the building or even the structure itself at some point after its initial construction and occupation and Retrofitting in existing Buildings is done to Improve Sustainability and Energy Performance. Green practices in the existing buildings can help address national issues like water efficiency, energy efficiency, and reduction in fossil fuel use in commuti...

In the history, architects were mathematicians and also some mathematicians were architect too. Vitruvius was a very well-known architect as well as famous mathematician. Mathematical readings of Pythagoras were later used in building proportions. Well known worker and user of golden ratio Leonardo Da Vinci along with many achievements was an architect too. The approach of this research paper is to come up with findings on importance of mathematics in architecture, as in geometry, from very important site analysis to final design of elevation or façade. Aim of the whole research is to come up with mathematical functions related to mensuration of building construction and Architectural Engineering. This paper is an initial part of the same research.
