Abstract
Coal mine soils are generally characterized by poor physical structure, low organic carbon content, and deficiencies of essential plant nutrients, which limit crop growth and productivity. The present field experiment was conducted during December 2025–March 2026 at the Gare Palma Coal Mine area of M/s. Hindalco Industries Ltd., Baljore, Tamnar Tehsil, Raigarh District, Chhattisgarh State, India, to evaluate the effects of organic manures, chemical fertilizer, and bio-fertilizers on the growth, yield, and soil properties of Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.). The experiment was laid out in a Complete Randomized Design with seven treatments and three replications. The treatments included farmyard manure (FYM), vermicompost, diammonium phosphate (DAP), a consortium of bio-fertilizers [vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi, Azospirillum brasilense, Bacillus megaterium, and Frateuria aurantia], and their combinations. The results revealed significant differences among treatments for all growth and yield parameters. The combined application of FYM, vermicompost, and bio-fertilizers (T7) recorded the highest plant height (64.10 cm), number of branches (26.39 plant⁻¹), number of leaves (86.72 plant⁻¹), number of flowers (28.64 plant⁻¹), number of fruits (44.50 plant⁻¹), fruit length (19.71 cm), fruit diameter (34.47 mm), fruit weight (362.44 g), and fruit yield (2.99 kg plant⁻¹). In contrast, the control treatment (T1) recorded the lowest values for all growth and yield attributes. Soil analysis conducted before and after the experiment indicated substantial improvements in organic carbon, available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur contents following treatment application. The integrated use of organic manures and bio-fertilizers was more effective than the application of chemical fertilizer alone in enhancing crop performance and soil fertility. The study demonstrates that the combined application of FYM, Vermicompost, VAM fungi, Azospirillum brasilense, Bacillus megaterium, and Frateuria aurantia is a sustainable and effective nutrient management strategy for improving Brinjal productivity and restoring soil health in coal mine-degraded lands.

Abstract
This study evaluated T3, T4 and TSH levels among women patients with the help of Thyroid Function Test. It was noted that T3 hormone levels were recorded high among the patients of age group 11 to 20 years, whereas T4 levels were recorded low in the age group of 41 to 50 years. TSH levels were recorded low in the age group of 11 to 20 years. Thyroid hormones regulate the metabolic processes that are needed for normal development and growth. Thyroid hormones control the metabolism and development of ovarian, uterine, and placental tissues, making them necessary for the proper functioning of the female reproductive system. Women with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism may experience infertility or subfertility as a result.

Abstract
India's rural employment policy has undergone an important institutional transition with the emergence of the Viksit Bharat–Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G). This paper systematically reviews the transition from the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) to the revised rural employment framework, with particular emphasis on employment security, productive asset creation and the broader objective of Viksit Bharat 2047. The review examines the expansion of the statutory employment guarantee from 100 to 125 days, the proposed seasonal alignment of public employment with agricultural activities, decentralized planning through Viksit Gram Panchayat Plans, geospatial integration, digital monitoring and Direct Benefit Transfer.
