Subject: Payment for ecosystem services and its applications in India
Keywords: Environment, livelihood security, market, payment for ecosystem services, sustainable future.
Abstract: Ecosystem services are the processes of nature that directly or indirectly benefit human beings. These services
need to be conserved through incentive-based market
approaches for a sustainable future. Payment for ecosystem services (PES) is one approach that aims to manage
natural resources and ecosystem stewardship, wherein
the users recompense the conservators of the ecosystem
services. While PES has numerous benefits in enhancing
the awareness of linkages between human well-being
(e.g. poverty alleviation) and ecosystem services, it is
constrained by major challenges, especially in developing countries like India. This article reviews the significant issues and challenges of environmental marketing
in India and suggests measures to promote PES.

Subject: Adolescent type 1 diabetes mellitus in India
Keywords: Children and adolescents, diagnosis and management, hypoglycaemia, insulin, type 1 diabetes
Abstract: Diabetes is becoming more common in children and
adolescents around the world, with serious consequences
for the long-term health of individuals, societies and nations. Diagnosis and management of diabetes in children
present several unique challenges. Although type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is more common in children and
adolescents, type 2 diabetes mellitus is also on the rise in
young people, particularly among certain ethnic groups.
A thorough patient history evolution and physical examination usually reveal the diagnosis. Specific laboratory
and imaging tests, however, are required to confirm
the diagnosis. Diabetes management in children and adolescents can be difficult in some cases due to age-specific
issues and the more aggressive nature of the disease.
This study summarizes various sources on how a patientcentred approach focusing on comprehensive risk factor
reduction with the involvement of all concerned stakeholders (patients, parents, peers and teachers) could
help ensure the best possible level of diabetes control and
prevent or delay long-term complications.

Subject: Assessing the export potential of Nagpur mandarin: the promising citrus fruit of Central India
Keywords: Citrus fruits, Central India, Nagpur, India
Abstract: Globally, citrus is acknowledged as one of
the most important perennial fruit crops.
India is the third highest citrus producer in
the world after China and Brazil. Worldwide, citrus is grown in more than 150
countries, of which 53 cultivate it commercially. India contributes about 7–8% of
the global citrus production. Citrus ranks
third in the country after mango and banana and is cultivated in 10.86 lakh hectares
with an annual production of 142.62 lakh
tonnes1
. The genus Citrus belongs to the
family Rutaceae. Citrus fruits have a distinct
aroma, taste and are storehouses of several
important nutrients like vitamin C, phytochemicals and dietary fibre, which are vital
for human health due to their antioxidant
properties and protection from various
chronic diseases

Subject: Trees outside forests – an economic and environmental opportunity in the face of climate change
Keywords: Trees, forests, economic,environmental opportunity, climate change
Abstract: Trees outside forests, including agroforestry, are the major source of wood produced in India. Keeping in view
their direct benefits, inter alia livelihood security, climate-resilient agriculture for small and marginal farmers,
and sustained supply of quality feedstock to the industry, a multidisciplinary approach in a mission mode is
suggested for optimizing the impact of various programmes initiated by the Government and private sector. This
would reduce import dependency on basics like paper pulp, newsprint and timber. A natural spin-off is conservation of germplasm in the forests and increased carbon sequestration by the trees and that locked in wood
products, thereby contributing to India’s international climate and land restoration commitments.

Abstract: Consumer finance is very important for business operations in order to drive the demand for products and create a sustainable market. However, it is not restricted to high-end products in urban markets and is also required for the bottom-of-the pyramid (BoP) market (poorest and largest set of consumers) for the penetration of clean energy and clean cooking products. Most high-performing clean energy products may cost more than the monthly income of a typical rural BoP household.
