The present paper attempts to analyse the inter-regional incidence and determinants of poverty among the Scheduled Caste (SC) households in rural Punjab. The study, based on the primary data of 543 SC households selected from the three different regions of Punjab, concluded that the incidence of poverty among different categories of Scheduled Caste households is the highest in Malwa region, followed by Majha and Doaba regions. The category-wise analysis reveals that majority of the households belonging to the agricultural labour, nonagricultural labour, artisan and others categories are living below the poverty line in all the regions. The incidence of consumption-based poverty among the different categories of SC households is slightly less than the incidence of income-based poverty among these households across the three regions. The variations in the per capita income of the different categories of SC households across the three regions are explained by family-size, total household income, expenditure on education and number of earners. The variations in the per capita consumption of the different categories of Scheduled Caste households across the sampled regions are explained by number of earners, educational level of the decision-maker in the family and repayment of old debt. The study suggests that the proportion of Scheduled Caste living BPL can decrease with an increase in their level of income and employment.

India Raman Chauhan  Assistant Professor, Deptt.of Mathematics, Noida Institute of Engineering & Technology, Greater Noida, U.P. India  In this paper, Runge-Kutta fourth order (RK-4) method is employed to obtain approximate solution of Logistic differential equations which are first order non-linear differential equations used in to model the growth of populations. The results show that method converges rapidly and approximates the exact solution very accurately.  for full paper please visit below link : http://www.socialresearchfoundation.com/upoadreserchpapers/2/200/1908120955231st%20nidhi%20sharma%
