The distinctive nature of Indian career women is that they do not like to abandon their conventional role of home maker while taking any job. In the context of epoch making changes that the Indian Information Technology sector is witnessing and the womenfolk accounting for around half of work force in this sector, an in-depth analytical study of women employees in Information Technology sector assumes singular significance. Further women are said to blend judiciously the traditional love for home and dedication for the work entrusted. They possess certain inborn qualities like patience, tolerance, affability, courtesy, etc. and qualities required for doing any job sincerely and methodically. These should enable them to handle with success even challenging situations and go up on the hierarchy in the Information Technology Industry.The present study is aimed at helping the high level authorities to frame a suitable policy for recruitment of women employees on a large scale if the findings confirm that their innate traits influence significantly their performance efficiency.

A number of technologies have been developed to remove chromium from the effluents but none seems to be effective at the industrial scale. The present study is an effort in this direction, where Cr(III) and Cr(VI)can be removed from tanning effluent by the use of Cr tolerant bacterial isolates from chromium contaminated sites. Since Chromium poses a threat to humans and environment, it is pertinent to have a biofilm based chromium remediation strategy. This study gives an insight into in-situ remediation of chromium, by the development of biofilms using indigenous bacteria isolated from tannery industrial environment. Biofilm design techniques and technology development would aid in alleviating problem due to inorganic pollutants besides chromium from tannery effluent.
