And yet he held them in high esteem, just as they admired him. While Bose asserted the independence of his own values even as he sought help from the Axis powers-Nazi Germany, Italy and later Japan-during World War II, for the cause of a free India, it was seen as treasonous and dangerous by many.Vishwas Patil recreates the life of a man who was twice elected president of the Congress, and quit to follow his own vision, forming the Indian National Army.

Vegetable waste, produced in large quantities serve as a source of nuisance in markets and also in municipal landfills because of their highly biodegradable nature and high moisture content. The collection and disposal of vegetable waste is a very serious problem. Unscientific disposal methods cause environmental pollution and also hazards to human health. Non-renewable energy resources have limited energy reserves that will exhaust within 30-200 years. The excess use of these resources for energy use results in environmental pollution. Thus, there is need to identify new renewable resources for future energy supply. The work is undertaken to discuss the sources of generation of vegetable waste, its impact on environment and effective management of these wastes with special reference to biological methods in detail.
