Parasitic infections are commonly encountered in livestock reared under traditional animal husbandry system in India. The parasitic infections especially the helminths infection result in great economic losses to live stock industry due to deterioration in health and reduced production of animal. They are treated conventionally with commercially available chemical anthelmentics which have long been considered as the only effective way of controlling parasitic infection. Regular use of chemical anthelmintics develops resistance of helminths to various anthelmintics compounds which is a threat to their use in near future and thus arises a need of development of alternative approach. Herbal based anthelmintics could be the best possible alternative of these synthetic anthelmintics, Neem have proven medicinal properties, being anthelmintic, antifungal, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-infertility. This article attempts to present some studies conducted for testing efficacy of Neem as anthelmintic in different livestock species.

Social media has been playing a significant part in helping people to communicate with people all over the World by facilitating communication abilities. The speed and effectiveness of social media as a communication tool cannot be denied. It's the newest type of media, and it has a lot of features and qualities. It's a terrific approach to strengthen relationships because it offers texting, image, video, and audio sharing, quick publishing, direct interaction, and the ability to connect with individuals all over the world. Present paper aim is to discuss the impact of social media on youth.

A field experiment was conducted during the year 2021-22 at Horticulture Research Block, Department of Horticulture, School of Agricultural Sciences, SGRR University, Dehradun, Uttarakhand to investigate the “Impact of organic manures on the growth and yield of cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) cv. Pusa Drumhead under Dehradun district of Uttarakhand”. The
experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and six treatments. The treatments comprised following levels of various organic nutrients concentrations viz. Jeevamrutham @500l/ha (T1),Vermicompost @5t/ha (T2), FYM @5t/ha(T3), Vermicompost @2.5t/ha + Jeevamrutham @50% (T4), Jeevamrutham @50% + lukewarm water @50%(T5) and
Control (T6). Observations on various attributes of growth and yield were recorded at 30, 40, 60 DAT and at final harvest stages. The result revealed that treatment T4 (Vermicompost @2.5t/ha + Jeevamrutham @50%) was found to be most significant for growth attributes viz., plant height (cm), number of leaves, leaf length (cm), leaf width (cm) and yield attributes such as number of non-wrapper leaves, polar diameter of head (cm), equatorial diameter of head (cm), head weight (g), yield per plot(kg/plot) and yield per hectare (q/ha). Also, from economic point of view, Vermicompost @2.5t/ha + Jeevamrutham @50% was found to be most profitable as compared to other treatments.
