This work focuses on infinitival constructions in Hindi. Infinitives are studied under the scope of morphology and syntax. The aim of this study was to find a semantic justification for the nature of infinitival clauses in Hindi. Infinitival clauses here have been sub-categorized into purposive, permissive, and injunctive clauses. Control infinitives, sub-divided under the try and decide type, which can be related to restructuring and non-restructuring infinitives, have been analyzed for Hindi. The work includes a discussion of the three types of complementizer placements in Hindi. k¿-n¿, and n¿ ke l¿ye are two of these placements that allow infinitival complements.

In remote & difficult terrains with adverse climate & limited working period due to snow fall, the foundations on regular piles are not possible due to non transportation of required inventory / machines/equipments. An efforts has been made to provide foundation using micro-piles as deep foundation in Leh - Laddakh area. The methodology is discussed through a comprehensive filed load testing of micro-piles & sub soil investigation (SSI) at the proposed bridge location. Due to non availability of full fledged Indian code on micro-piles, it may open a new era in the field of bridge construction in hilly & remote areas. Moreover it may also be used in strengthening the foundation and seismic retrofitting of existing bridges.
