Natural products including any material obtained from living organisms i.e. plants, microbes and animals have been essential to the growth of the organic sciences. For commercial reasons, the term "natural product" has been expanded to include cosmetics, dietary supplements, additives and food meals made from natural sources without the addition of artificial substances but can be processed chemically to obtain the final bioproducts.Plants are considered as rich source of ingredients of health and other importance which can be used in drug development and synthesis. Besides that these plants play a critical role in the development of human cultures around the whole world. Moreover, some plants consider as important source of nutrition and as a result of that these plants recommended for their therapeutic values. Therefore, they have a promising future because there are about half million plants around the world, and most of them their medical activities have not investigate yet, and their medical activities could be decisive in the treatment of present or future studies.Biocolorants or Natural pigments are the other products obtained naturally from plants, animals and microbes, characterized as Plants pigments, Animals pigments and Microbial pigments, respectively, are the current interest of the market. They are made naturally from renewable resources, are quickly biodegradable and do not produce any refractory intermediates when they are released into the environment. They are used widely, mostly in the food, dairy, printing, textile, and pharmaceutical sectors. They are an alternative to artificial colors that may be added to any food product. Due to their therapeutic qualities as well as their usage in dyeing, natural dyes and colors are becoming more and more important. The present book entails a comprehensive and a thorough review of the economically significant natural products either plant based or any other natural source based products and their bioactive constituents that can be used for various purposes commercially.

The examination system which is measuring the progress of children in terms of marks and ranks is hampering the physical and cognitive development of the student community because it is putting the students under immense pressure and anxiety. The sole aim of the teaching-learning process has culminated in securing maximum possible marks and ranks. Evaluation has ended up as a big annual event in the form of examinations which is proving to be detrimental to the attitudes, interests and competences of the student community.CCE or Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation is a process of evaluating the child's development in all the school-related activities. This proposal was directed under the Right to Education Act in 2009 by the Central Board of Secondary Education of India and the state governments in India.Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation is a school-based analysis procedure that is distinguished by the fact that the evaluation takes place throughout the instructional process. Multiple techniques of evaluation need to be implemented to assess the progress of the students which includes quizzes, assignments, oral tests, peer evaluation, etc. Continuous and comprehensive assessment which is a crucial part of this evaluation structure helps to assess the progress of the students. Using CCE, teachers can diagnose learners' deficiencies using a variety of assessment activities. After completing the assessment activities, learners are given valuable feedback. The teacher guides and supports them to identify the problems. The Book provides teachers to identify student's learning difficulties on a regular basis with various assessment activities that allow them to diagnose students' defects.

Food adulteration is a problem that affects the entire world, and underdeveloped nations are more vulnerable to it owing to a lack of rules and monitoring which takes place frequently in its most blatant form when illegal materials are replaced or added in full. Food is frequently contaminated to satisfy the demands of this expanding population and to feed the vast population because the world's population is increasing at an alarming rate. Food autoxidation and rancidity development are caused by a free radical chain mechanism. Antioxidants are chemicals that, when present in meals in small amounts relative to an oxidizable substrate, significantly slow down or stop the oxidation of the substrates present in the food. Free radicals can be quenched, decomposed, or scavenged by them. The presence of antioxidants in food is a crucial resource for the food business in order to maximize the effectiveness of these key additions. Therefore, concern knowledge is required on these concepts for understanding the adulteration, their types and detection methods as well as the role of antioxidants in food, medicine and healthcare, or to prevent or regulate oxidation in food products. The primary goal of publishing this book is to make the useful information available to anyone who is interested in it. The book includes eleven chapters which aim to present the knowledge of food adulteration and Antioxidants and various other associated concepts for Wellbeing.

Language is an important developmental ability which facilitates communication both at home and at school. It is also the foundation of many of a child's learning experiences in school. A certain level of language is often a pre-requisite both for success in particular curriculum areas and for the ability to conceptualise generally. Language developing is thus a major concern for those who work with primary school children and it has come to be regarded as one of the main objectives within the school curriculum.Teaching of a language in the form of the subject will be a very essential part of the education system. Provision for the study of the language has been made mandatory and compulsory right from inception from the Primary school to the University level in almost all kinds of educational systems. A teacher should be endowed with certain professional competencies for performing the task that is assigned to him successfully. He should have a consummate knowledge regarding the curriculum that is specified for teaching. Once the teacher achieves mastery over the subject that he is supposed to teach, he/she automatically develops enough confidence to deal with any problem that he encounters in the classroom. Good teaching provides a way of national development. A good teacher inculcates good character among the students and at the same time he helps the students to acquire a pleasant personality and it is going to help for the progress of the nation in the long run. This can be achieved only if a teacher has in him some necessary competencies and characters to deal with the students who are facing learning problems.
