Body Weight Patterns and Lifestyle Behaviors Among Male College Students in Kangra District, Himachal Pradesh: A Cross-Sectional StudyBy Nandini Rana, Anuradha Sharma, Bovinder Chand
Abstract: Abnormal body weight in young adults is a major public-health concern, particularly in low- and middle-income settings where undernutrition and excess weight may coexist. The college period often involves changes in diet, physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep, all of which influence nutritional status and future disease risk. This study assessed the prevalence of underweight and overweight/obesity among college-aged male students in Kangra District, Himachal Pradesh, India, and examined the …

Integrated Assessment of Soil Health Through Macronutrient Status and Physico-Chemical Properties in Selected Agricultural Blocks of Kangra District, Himachal Pradesh, IndiaBy Chetna Thakur, Anuradha Sharma, Bovinder Chand
Abstract: Soil health is a critical determinant of agricultural sustainability, particularly in ecologically sensitive Himalayan regions where intensive cultivation and heterogeneous landscapes influence nutrient dynamics. Balanced macronutrient availability, together with favourable physico-chemical properties, governs crop productivity, soil resilience, and long-term ecosystem functioning. Despite the agronomic importance of Kangra District (Himachal Pradesh), localized assessments integrating nutrient status with physico-chemical indicators across representative agricultural blocks remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate soil …
