ABSTRACT: Social capital has been focus of interest in considerable social science academic circles in recent years. Development of communities is a continuous process in order to sustain communities through utilizing their assets in a world that is increasingly becoming unpredictable and difficult in terms of togetherness and caring concerns for sustainability. The paper looked first at rural communities and the way social capital is built and utilized positively for community development despite lots of challenges.

ABSTRACT: The present study focuses on the long term trends of meteorological parameters like precipitation and temperature of the MPUAT service area, Rajasthan, India which is mainly located in humid and sub-humid region. Trend analysis of the seasonal (pre-monsoon, monsoon, post-monsoon and winter) and annual daily rainfall and temperature at the spatial and temporal scales was carried out for 7 stations of the MPUAT, service area. Statistical trend analysis technique, namely the Mann–Kendall test, was used to examine trends (1984–2014) at the 5% level of significance. Both positive and negative trends were observed in both seasonal and annual events of rainfall and temperature.The spatial...........
