Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) was notified on September 7, 2005 and came into force from February 2, 2006. It is the world's biggest employment guarantee programme and aims at enhancing livelihood security of households in rural areas of the country by providing 100 days of guaranteed wage employment in a financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. Its primary objective is to augment wage employment and strengthen natural resource management. The act was notified in 200 districts in the first phase with effect from February 2, 2006 and then extended to 130 more districts in the financial year 2007-08 (113 districts were notified with effect from April 1 2007, and 17 districts in UP were notified with effect from May 15 2007). The remaining districts have been notified under the MGNREGA with effect from April 1, 2008. Thus MGNREGA covers the entire country with the exception of districts that have a hundred percent urban population.

There are tons of seminars, books, and movies on how to become a millionaire! I am happy that the book has come among them to become a good manager. Along with making a homegrown manager, this book also fulfills the need of the individual, society, and the country. The book has presented many topics that can make any person's life successful like 'How long to protest?' 'Don't lose your temper on the job!" 'Whoever comes into the team is the best; how to extract the best from him?' Simple sentences like 'bringing your work in front of the senior officer without arrogance,' etc. destroy the prejudice by shaking the mind. Without 'Desi Manager', India cannot make a permanent place in the leading economic countries of the world. This is the demand of today's time and as long as there is a demand for managers, the book will be required.

Soy protein is abundantly present in soybeans, which have in the past been termed as wonder beans. Soy flour, soy protein concentrate and soy protein isolate can be extracted from soybeans after removing the oil components. After the removal of oil components, one can use protein components as milk, paneer, cheese and sauce. The best feature of soybean is that it possesses medicinal properties, and hence can be consumed as a main course for nutrients and sustenance. Consumption of soy-based products is also helpful in reducing the chances of several hormone dependent diseases such as cancer, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and menopausal symptoms. Additionally, soybean can be used to prepare bioplastics and biofibres. The book contains ten chapters and is written so as to give the readers the multiple benefits of soy protein as food. This book also discusses the properties of edible soy protein films, with special emphasis on their mechanical properties; these mechanical properties can be determined experimentally. Theoretically, the mechanical properties of soy protein film can be determined by a statistical tool known as the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The basic concept of RSM is discussed in one of the chapter of this book. The reader will benefit greatly by reading this book.

This story contains suruchi’s love story with sahil which ends with wedding ceremony together with paradigm shift in sahil’s life.
