  Abstract
  The department of water, Kisumu County report, recorded a 35.4% success rate of rural based water projects initiated in Kisumu County which is below average. Therefore, rural based water projects in Kisumu County need sound community water management skills to enhance performance. The purpose of this study was to assess influence of management skills of community based water managers on performance of rural piped water projects in Nyando Sub-County, Kisumu County, Kenya. The specific objective was; to establish the influence of community based water managers’ technical management skills on performance of rural piped water projects. The study applied the path goal theory and the theory of subsistence poverty. A mixed method approach design was adopted. The respondents were the managers and employees working in the rural piped water projects. A key informant interview guide was adopted for the managers and a semi-structured questionnaire for the employees. Results obtained from key informant interviews revealed other factors that influence performance of the rural piped water projects: corruption, nepotism, lack of donor funding, financial constraints and litigation on issues of land, revenue and billing. Pearson’s correlation results showed that technical management skills, positively correlated to performance of rural piped water projects. The coefficient of determination was 0.618, indicating 61.8% joint proportion of variation associated to performance of rural piped water projects. The resulting model from regression analysis showed technical management skills at 0.087 deviations. The conclusion was that technical management skills had the least influence on performance of rural piped water projects. The recommendation was that the government of Kenya should intensify the monitoring of existing set benchmarks to enhance efficient performance of rural piped water projects. The findings and recommendations could be adopted by water sector institutions and other related water partners.

  Abstract
  Agriculture regarded as the base of Indian economy and regardless of deliberate industrialization over the most recent decades agriculture sector possesses a position of pride. Being the biggest sector in the nation it gives livelihoods to around 65% of the aggregate workforce in the nation. Aside from the effective development throughout the decades, Indian agriculture is confronting genuine difficulties, for example, stagnation of agriculture sector and farmer`s suicide. The study is an attempt to understand the trend and the causes of farmer suicide in India. The study entirely relay on secondary sources of data. The primary source of data for analyzing the phenomenon of farmer suicides in India is the Accidental Deaths & Suicides in India (ADSI), an annual publication of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India. The period of data on farmer’s suicide was collected from 1995 to 2015. The study found that during 1995-15, 321407 farmers conferred suicide in India. This demonstrating the death of at least one farmer in every 30 minutes. In the vicinity of 1995 and 2015, the NCRB revealed 321407 farmers` suicides, which is 13.10 per cent of all announced suicide death. From all reported farmers’ suicides, 83.92 per cent are males and 14.65 per cent are females. Bankruptcy or indebtedness and farming related issues’ are the major causes of suicides among farmers/cultivators, accounting for 38.7 per cent and 19.5 per cent of total such suicides respectively during 2015. The other prominent causes of farmer/cultivators suicides were family problems, illness and drug abuse/alcoholic addiction, accounting for 11.7 per cent, 10.5 per cent and 4.1 per cent of total farmers/cultivators suicides respectively. The study suggesting that providing formal credit facilities to farmers is the appropriate solution to solve indebtness related suicide of farmers and extend crop insurance to all farmers will enable them to avoid huge loss due to climate change.

  Abstract
  In VLSI design and testing using CMOS technology a novel error-tolerant adder (ETA) is proposed. The novel ETA is able to achieve the accuracy, and at the same time achieve more improvements in both performance of power consumption and speed. The proposed truncated multiplication reduces part of the power required by multipliers and by only computing the product of the most-significant bits. A novel approach to truncation using ETA is proposed, where a full precision multiplier is implemented. When compared to its conventional counterparts, the proposed ETA is able to attain more than 65% improvement in the Power-Delay Product (PDP). One important dynamic application of the proposed ETA is in digital signal processing systems that can tolerate particular amount of errors.

  Abstract
  Based on primary data as yield obtained from present research work and with the help of questionnaire through personal interview from farmers, cost benefit analysis on field experiment for Green gram crop was carried out. Experimental study area is one hector with five treatments where T5 was kept as control and four others treatment were T1-Vermicompost @ 6.25 t/h, T2-NADEP compost @ 6.25 t/ha, T3-pit compost @ 6.25 t/ha, and T4-chemical fertilizer (50:25:25- N: P2O5: K2O kg/ha). Yield of Green gram was harvested after 90th day. The per hectare cost of cultivation of Green gram crop was Rs 1,39,813 which gives gross reruns of Rs 1,94,243 with the application of vermicompost treatment (T1). The per hectare cost of cultivation of Green gram crop was Rs 1,16,823 which gives gross reruns of Rs 1,75,553 with the application of NADEP compost treatment (T2). The per hectare cost of cultivation of Green gram crop was Rs 1,05,179 which gives gross reruns of Rs 1,05,688 with the application of pit compost treatment (T3). The per hectare cost of cultivation of Green gram crop was Rs 89,919 which gives gross reruns of Rs 1,37,060 with the application of chemical fertilizer treatment (T4). The per hectare cost of cultivation of Green gram crop was Rs 91,093 which gives gross reruns of Rs 1,58,865 in control treatment (T5). The input output ratios were about in 1.38, 1.50, 1.00, 1.52 and 1.74 the treatment T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. The analysis of the data revealed that, the cost of cultivation of Green gram crop was more (Rs 1,39,813) with B/C ratio (1.38) with vermicompost treatment. Green gram crop was most profitable in control treatment followed by chemical fertilizer treatment.

  Abstract
  This review deals the interaction between solid waste and climate change. Unaccountable dump structures or even some landfills do not include methane collecting systems, in developing countries. In this condition, the greenhouse gas escapes to the atmosphere. The review discussed the emission of greenhouse gases from solid waste and their contribution to climate change with special reference to methane. The Importance has been placed on Municipal solid waste generation quantity in Indian cities and its effects on environment and climate change. Finally, concludes that the problem of solid waste needs some holistic approaches such as reuse of solid waste to produce energy and bio-manures.

  Abstract
  The modern world is much more volatile and so to sustain and develop in this globalized world, every organization has to gain competitive advantage. For gaining this advantage the organizations will have to develop employees ‘competencies. HRD and optimism are fundamental in generating and implementing the competencies. Present study tries to find the correlation between these two if any.

  Key-Words / Index Term
  HRD Effectiveness, competitive advantage, positive attitude
