The collagens are a family of extracellular matrix proteins that play a dominant role in maintaining the structural integrity of various organs and tissues and have a number of other important biological functions. Their clinical roles have been clearly illustrated by the very wide spectrum of clinical manifestations found in with the more than thousand mutations that have thus far been characterized in 22 genes for 12 out of the more than 20 types of collagen. Collagen fibres form the basis for many structural component of the body. Hence knowledge of the structure, composition, biosynthesis and types of collagen fibres is essential. As collagen forms building block of body structures, any defect in collagen results in diseases such as Ehler Danlos syndrome, Scurvy, Alport syndrome, OSMF, Epidermolysis Bullosa, etc. This book discusses about the role of collagen in health and disease.

Women empowerment is synonymous with the educated women. The Indian government has taken so many steps to improve the educational status of the women with their significant inclusion & representation in decision making. However, the Government of India frames different policies and programme at different levels cover various proportions and strategies of gender development. Efforts have been made to empower women in a social, economical and political context over the years but due to lack of synchronization and coordination, the achievements are not satisfactory. India still has to do a lot to make it practically true to remove an illusion of reality.
