After agriculture; hand looming has been a significant economic activity. Over the past few decades, there has been a significant shift in Indian society and the economy. Weaving artistry into the strands and turning them into wearable masterpieces is an ancient custom. However, for a variety of reasons, these cultures have lost their face value over time, and the weavers' financial situation has steadily gotten worse. The socio-economic status of handloom weavers, their issues, and the difficulties they face in carrying on the tradition are briefly reviewed in this work. The study ends with some recommendations based on the literature review related to the handloom. Keywords: Handloom, weavers, culture, challenges

Since the 1990s, the initialism, as well as some of its common variants, functions are used as an Umbrella term for sexuality and gender identity. At the same time, it may also refer to anyone who is non-heterosexual or noncisgender, instead of exclusively to the people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. To give recognisition of this include a popular variant is added i.e. LGBTQ and the letter Q for those who identify as queer or are questioning their sexual or gender identity. Despite the various developments and advances in our country, people are still being fired, harassed, and targeted at work because they are LGBTQ. They are more likely to experience discrimination and exclusion from mainstream social, economic and political life. Therefore, various civil society group or organizations plays a very important role in promoting the rights of the LGBTQ in society. Hence this paper tries to find out the challenges faced by the LGBTQ in society and also to find out the role of civil society in promoting their rights toward society.

However, a development from small to large holdings seen with agricultural intensification in many other parts of the world has not happened in India. Instead, an increased proportion of small holdings have been observed at the country scale. Considering the importance of agriculture for overall economic development, the present paper evaluates road map of Indian Agriculture towards its development. In addition, the paper also analyzes the development of agriculture under the five-year plans of India. The study indicates that there is scope to increase both net sop lawn area and gross sown area. This paper also tries to analysis the various agricultural revolutions which were occurred in India with their outcomes.
