The present study was conducted with the aim to study the social behaviour of school going children. The total samples of 160 children (84 boys and 76 girls) ranging in age from 6 to 8 years were selected through random sampling technique. From Hisar city, two schools affiliated to CBSE and two schools affiliated to HBSE were selected at random. From each school 40 children were randomly selected. Social behaviour of selected children was assessed with the help of social behaviour inventory by Punia (2002). Class teachers of selected children were requested to assess social behaviour of children in the classroom situations. These aspects of social behaviour included aggressiveness, emotionality and impulsiveness. Findings showed that there were significant differences for aggressive behaviour of boys and girls. Boys were more aggressive as compared to girls. Children from HBSE affiliated schools were more impulsive as compared to children from CBSE affiliated schools.Keywords

Banana is an important crop of world and India with 7.1 lakh ha area is under banana and fruit production of 26.2 million MT contributing 14.7 per cent of world production Apart from fruit, banana crop also generate huge quantity of biomass in the form of pseudostem, leaves, suckers etc. and this biomass mostly pseudostem is absolute waste in most of the states of India and Bihar in particular. Banana is cultivated in about 29 thousand ha in the Vaishali district of Bihar with an average yield of 412 q/ha. With the sizable area under banana (0.61 lakh ha) cultivation in Bihar, it is important to develop and popularize different value added products from banana pseudostem. After harvesting of fruits and leaves, pseudostem is cut near to the ground level and its yield ranges from 60 to 80 t/ha. Developing value added products from banana pseudostem is restricted mainly to fibre extraction and handicrafts making at national level. In the process of fibre extraction other components obtained simultaneously. These components are fibre (about 600 kg/ha), scutcher (30 to 35 t/ha), sap (15000 to 20000 l/ha) and central core (10 to 12 t/ha) all of it can be used in developing different value added products. Taking the initiative Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Vaishali, Bihar started giving training to rural farm women on fibre extraction technology on the wasteful harvested pseudostem as this district is an impotant banana cultivating district. The KVK encouraged rural farm men/women to take up simple and remurative income generating enterprises from where they can earn additional income which improves its self confidence and socio- economic status having an overall impact on farm families.Keywords

The present study was conducted in Hisar city of Haryana state. The sample comprised of 160 children in the age group of 6-8 years. These children were assessed for interpersonal problem-solving skills in obtaining access to an object in another child’s possession with the help of Social Problem-Solving Test. Children’s quantitative responses were computed for total number of different categories of strategies, relevancy of strategies and within-story flexibility in use of strategies. Quality of children’s responses was computed for proportional use of forceful and non-forceful strategies. Results revealed that in interpersonal problem solving, most frequently suggested strategies by children were non-forceful in nature. Results also revealed that there were no gender differences in quantitative scores of interpersonal social competence among school children. Significant differences were found for usage of quality of strategies. Girls suggested greater proportions of non-forceful strategies as compared to boys; on the other hand, boys suggested greater proportions of forceful strategies as compared to girls. It can be concluded that in interpersonal social dilemmas boys becomes more aggressive as compared to girls.Keywords
