Abstract: In an agricultural business based economy such as that of India, agribusiness opportunity becomes more important, so does higher education in agribusiness. In the light of these, a wakeup call to providing investments in education in the agriculture sector (production, transportation, processing etc) has surface the course of MBA Agribusiness Management. With growing demand for agribusiness, many agriculture universities are offering post graduate courses in agribusiness management which has led to increased competition of institutions in this sector. A conjoint analysis was used in the analysis of the preference of students for various agribusiness management schools based on assigned attributes (Fees per year, Placement for job, Location and recommendation). A conjoint analysis model was used to specify relationship between attributes and utility, which assumes that the overall utility derived from any combination of attributes, is the sum of the separate utilities of each level of an attribute. The study has shown that would be students and students of agribusiness students prefer institutions that assist students to get placement after completion of the course as the first and most important to consider for an agribusiness school, second is moderate fees (below 3lakh per year), location in their home state and institution recommended by parents or an alumnus of that institution.

Abstract: Families today are seeing rapid changes due to the increased pace of growth and modernization. Indian women belonging to all classes have entered into various professions which causes stress in their personal and professional life. Women's exposure to educational opportunities is significantly higher than it was some years ago, especially in the cities. Our study have identified socio-economic stressors, psychological and family and relationship stressors causing stress among working women and strategies to cope up with it, though study was conducted among working women in different sectors in Bangalore city. A sample of 100 respondents was chosen on the basis of stratified random sampling technique. Statistical tools like factor analysis and regression coefficient were used to develop Structural Equation Model. The findings of the study reveal that under socio-economic stressors unexpected guests, followed by absence of domestic help causes major stress among working women. Similarly being perfectionist with unnecessary worries which cause psychological set back among working women. Moreover anxiety about children future and husbands job insecurity play a major role in causing stress under family and relationship. Thus the working women need to have work life balance and imbibe stress management strategies like meditation, balanced diet filled with entertainment and fun to lead a stress free life.

Abstract: Universities are no longer confined to its four walls rather they are developing as big cities inside that area. Academic blocks, libraries, hostels, cafeterias, administration blocks, dispensary, shopping area, schools etc. are becoming major part of such institution. Every part of the campus is using environmental resources. It can both teach and demonstrate environmental principles by taking actions to understand and reduce the impact of its activities on the environment. It is equally important to incorporate sustainable practices into planning and operations of the campus if it wants to sustain in the future. Thus, a proposed course of action for promoting environmental education and installation of EMS in the universities has been suggested.
