Nano-ordered composite materials consisting of organic polymers and inorganic compounds have been attracting attention for their use in creating high-performance or high-functionality polymeric materials. These materials are termed as "hybrid" which are blend of organic and inorganic components with molecular-level dispersions. Hybrid organic-inorganic materials are of two kinds: homogeneous systems derived from monomers or miscible organic and inorganic components, and heterogeneous and phase-separated systems with domains ranging from angstroms to micrometers in size. Integral to this...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) a major cereal crop has been cultivated in India. The way India increased its wheat production and helped the food security system through "Wheat Revolution" is worth to be remembered. It was that the wheat revolution and green revolution have made its self sufficient in food grains and that there will be no going back to old import days, when the food economy was either 'ship to mouth' or 'field to mouth'. The potential of high yielding varieties, the development of special non-monetary management practices like sowing methods is a prime need that promotes the...
