A study was conducted in Amaniganj block of Faizabad district of Uttar Pradesh to know the socio-economic profile of beneficiaries of Swarna Jayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) during the year 2013. One hundred farmers were selected randomly from the list of five purposely selected villages i. e. Raipatti, Manjhanpur Manudeeh, Satemau and Taldholi. The relevant variables were selected after reviewing the literatures available and the works done in the field prior to the present investigation. Age, caste, family size, family type, land holding capacity, occupation, social participation, material possession, scientific orientation, economic motivation, risk orientation and value orientation were considered as socio-economic indicators. A well structured and pre-tested interview schedule was used for data collection through personal interview method. The data were analyzed by using percentage, mean and standard deviation. The findings of the study revealed that majority of the respondents were middle aged (66%), literate (82 %) and belonged to general caste (40%). Majority of the respondents belonged to nuclear family (52%), medium sized family (69%) with mixed housing pattern (56%) and having marginal land holding (72%); most of them adopted agriculture as a main occupation (15.00%) and participated in one organization (41%). Majority of the respondents (70%) were observed to be in the medium category (17-53 scores) of materials possession and having medium level of economic motivation (67%); majority of the respondents were having medium level of scientific orientation (66%), medium level of risk orientation (62%) and had medium level of value orientation (59%).

The reconstruction of palaeo-vegetation and dietary habitat from vertebrate molar fragments from the Marginal Ganga plains (MGP) are rare. This study from moderately preserved fossil dentitions of herbivorous mammals collected from the two stratigraphic sections of the MGP presents carbon and oxygen isotope compositions, and provides dietary habits of large mammals in the northern Indian Alluvial tract during the Late Pleistocene. Elephas namadicus recovered from the channelized gravel litho-unit of the Jigni section, previously dated to be 56 ± 5 ka dominantly had a C4 dietary system. It exhibits a swampy grassland landscape rather than a savannah-type forest landscape. Bovini fossil specimens recovered from the upper part of channelized gravel litho-unit dated between 54 ± 10 and 51 ± 5 ka, also favour a C4 dietary system suggesting pure grazers living in open grassland habitat. © 2022 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
