Abstract
There several definition describing sustainability, meeting need with no compromise, conserving economy, environment, social aspects, the fact is there is huge deficit in balancing all the criteria’s of sustainability. Many civilisations vanished they could not sustain. The Maya, Mohenjo-Daro, Harrapan, Egyptian Pharaohs, Yadav’s unending list. Many huge animals also were unable to survive,at the end of the Cretaceous era 66 million years ago lead to demise of all dinosaur species except those that became birds. The strategy of present generation is read and forget. There is a fear of losing our civilization too due to poor sustenance. Nature is the glory of the divinity. The abiotic and biotic manifestations, once declared 5,114 years ago by Sri Krishna as pure, prosperous and powerful, are now deteriorated to a great extent. The Bhagwat Gita says: Let the human community protect the environment for their own survival and the biodiversity around. The tenth chapter of the Gita-Bibhuti Yoga (the yoga of divine manifestations) is a thought- provoking one.

Abstract
The present study was aimed at understanding the diversity of Class-Insecta and Class-Arachnida of VPM’s Campus Thane. Total 133 insect species belonging to the 8 orders and 21 spider species from 7 families belonging to a single order Araneae have been recorded. Among insects, order Lepidoptera was found to be dominant which might be due to the presence of a variety of nectar and food plants. In the case of spiders, Family Salticidae was found to be dominant whereas the least number of spiders was represented by Family Sparassidae. Comparatively, it has been observed that insects were much diverse than spiders in the VPM’s Campus, Thane.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in India usually contested between March and May of every year by eight teams representing eight different cities or states of India. The league was founded by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2007. The IPL is the most attended cricket league in the world. 13 seasons of the IPL have been contested so far. The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is a franchise cricket team based in Bangalore, Karnataka, that plays in the IPL. Founded in 2008, the team has played its home matches at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Virat Kohli has been the team’s captain since 2014. RCB remains as one of the most popular IPL teams despite their lack of success. RCB has never won a single edition of the IPL but have finished as runners-up on three occasions (2009, 2011 and 2016). Even with the presence of various notable players, the team constantly underperforms and hence, they have been labeled as ‘underachievers’. The team also holds
the record for both the highest (263) and lowest (49) scores in the IPL. The aim of this research is to understand the poor performance of RCB in the IPL using various statistical and mathematical techniques and approaches, namely matrices, graphs, and also build a model to predict the outcome of a given match for the team using the technique of logistic regression, in R Software.

Abstract
High nutritive value of milk makes it an ideal medium for the rapid multiplication of bacteria, particularly under unhygienic production and storage at ambient temperatures. Contamination & easy spoilage of milk due to poor keeping quality is a serious and widely reported issue. In view of this, the keeping quality and efficiency of pasteurization of 20 packaged milk samples of different brands, procured from different vendors in Thane was tested. Seventeen samples out of twenty were of ‘fair’ keeping quality, while three were of ‘good’ keeping quality as per results of Methylene Blue Reduction Test; while Resazurin Reduction Test revealed sixteen samples to be of ‘excellent’ keeping quality, while four of ‘good’ keeping quality. Phosphatase tests results indicated that all the samples were appropriately pasteurized. Thus, samples procured from these vendors from Thane, Maharashtra, India, seem to be of acceptable keeping quality. Further tests need to be performed to exactly determine the microbial count.

Abstract
The recent COVID-19 pandemic-related lockdown brought about unprecedented changes all over the world. Apart from changes in life styles, sweeping changes have occurred in all areas of human activity. Education is one sector where sudden changes have occurred, mostly in a manner forced by circumstances. While the forced lockdown ensured that most educational campuses in India remained closed for more than a year, online teaching and conduct of online examinations were the new order of the day. In places where educational campuses opened, introduction of blended hybrid online and offline teaching strategies brought about changes in the scenario. These sudden changes, coupled with economic and other constraints caused by the pandemic-related lockdown affected the mental and physical health and emotional wellbeing of the student community which is discussed in the communication. The survey of under-graduate students and their parents revealed overt changes in physical and mental health and behavioral patterns in children which, if things continued in the present manner, would be difficult to control in future in the interest of mankind. Some solutions and mitigation measures to address the problems faced by students; generated with the help of professional expertise to alleviate the lockdown related issues and problems and for better resilience, are dealt with in the communication.

Abstract
Lawsonia inermis L. is commonly known as Henna or Mehndi. Leaf powder of Lawsonia inermis L. is used for staining hair, nails and beard. Beside the colouring pigment henna plant also produces many secondary metabolites which show medicinal properties. The objective of the study was to standardize the protocol for in vitro callus induction in Lawsonia inermis L. using leaf explants. Callus was initiated in MS medium supplemented with different concentration and combination of auxins and cytokinins. Maximum callus induction was noticed on media supplemented with 2, 4-D in combination with coconut milk (CM). The phytochemical analysis was performed using standard chemical tests and thin layer chromatography of leaf and callus cultures. The Preliminary phytochemical screening showed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrate, tannins, phenols, flavonoids, essential oil, saponins, etc. in Lawsonia inermis L. which were then confirmed with the help of TLC.

Abstract
The world faced a pandemic of respiratory disease since the end of 2019 caused by a novel Coronavirus. The novel Coronavirus emerged in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and rapidly spread all over the world. Corona viruses are a large family of viruses that are known to cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases. Public Health and Social Measures (PHSM) are being implemented across the globe to limit transmission and reduce mortality and morbidity from Covid-19. This study was conducted in the month of January 2021 to observe any long lasting impacts of Covid-19 on mental abilities such as emotional stability and thought patterns. Emotion is a complex state of feeling that results in physical and psychological changes that influence thought and behavior, and Emotional stability is the process in which the personality continuously strives for greater sense of emotional health, both intra-physically and intra-personally. Thought pattern on the other hand is a way of thinking about something, or an attitude towards it. The study was conducted with a sample size comparing 60 adults in the age group of 16 to 64, out of which 30 participants had a history of Covid-19 and the other 30 participants were Covid-19 negative. It can be observed that there are no long lasting impacts of Covid-19 on mental abilities such as emotional stability and thought patterns in Mumbai.

Abstract
Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is used as herbal medicine in India and other countries. Pomegranate is an important source of bioactive properties. In Ayurveda, it is been used to stimulate the appetite and for treating digestive problems.
The present study is focused on assessing the antimicrobial activity of pomegranate leaves and peel extracts using two representative human pathogens and to check the synergistic activity of pomegranate peel extract and pomegranate leaf extract using ‘newly’ designed ‘Grid method’. The Grid method has been used to determine the synergistic action of these extracts in multiple combinations on a single plate using autoclaved Whatman paper strips having dimensions 3mm width by 8cm length that were impregnated with extracts.
The study revealed antioxidant properties associated with leaves extract. The peel and leaves extracts displayed antimicrobial activity when tested for inhibition of S. aureus and E. coli. When checked using newly designed Grid method these two extracts in combination did not have synergistic action and showed better antimicrobial activity when used individually.

Abstract
Noise pollution is emerging as one of the major environmental challenges in modern life as it has significant detrimental effect on human health and environment. With increasing number of vehicles in urban areas, improper public transport management, poorly planned urbanization and rapid industrialization, the noise levels have exceeded the tolerance limits. Present study deals with the noise assessment of road traffic during peak hours at three prime junctions of Thane city (Maharashtra State); It was aimed to assess roadside noise levels with respect to vehicular congestion. Study revealed that the noise levels of all the study locations during day and night peak hours ranged between 72 dBA - 81 dBA and 70 dBA - 80 dBA respectively. The noise levels exceeded the permissible limits given by Central Pollution Control Board and three wheelers formed the major portion of the sampled traffic across all locations.

Abstract
Surber’s technique is employed to measuredielectric constant (ε')of Allyl amine (AA)+2-ethoxyethanol (2-EE) for different mole fractions of Allyl amine (AA) at single microwave frequency 9.85 GHz using X-band microwave bench at room temperature 303 K. Density, viscosity and refractive index of AA+2-EE are also measured. Dielectric parameter, (ε') have been used to evaluate these derived dielectric parameters.The derived dielectric parameters, molar polarization (P12), dielectric loss (ε") and loss tangent (tan δ) explicate the formation of complexes within the system.It is found that dielectric constant (ε'), dielectric loss (ε"), loss tangent (tan δ) varies non-linearly however molar polarization (P12) activation energy (Ea),viscosity (η), and density (ρ) exponentially decreases with increasing mole fraction in binary mixture of Allyl amine (AA)+2-ethoxyethanol (2-EE). Data provide information regarding solute-solvent interaction in liquids with wobbling nature.
