The mothers should be advised of the signs and symptoms, and appropriate action for potentially life-threatening conditions. All maternity care providers should encourage breastfeeding. The aim is for the midwife to visit the woman when she most likely to need assistance. If further postnatal care or lactation consultation (for any ongoing breastfeeding problems) is required additional visits can be arranged. Objectives: To assess the level of knowledge, effectiveness of planned teaching program and association with selected demographic variables regarding management of the breast problems among the postnatal mothers. Material and methods: A Quasi experimental one group pretest-posttest design is adopted for the present study. The study was conducted in K.C. General Hospital, Bangalore with 450 bedded hospital. The sample size of the study consists of 60 postnatal mothers who fulfil the inclusion criteria. Non-probability convenience sampling technique was adopted to select the sample. Results: The data is organized, analyzed and presented in two parts. The findings revealed that the gain in mean score of overall level for knowledge of postnatal mothers between pre-test with post-test was 44.06% with 't' test value of 31.70 which was highly significant at 5%. It revealed that the PTP was effective and hence research hypothesis H1 was accepted. Conclusion: The study concluded that the PTP which was prepared was effective. Hence the postnatal mothers should be encouraged to attend teaching sessions, health education programme, workshops etc. will be more receptive to improve their knowledge level.

The Part of Speech (POS) tagging of Manipuri using Support Vector Machine (SVM) has been developed and evaluated. The POS tagger has been updated with identified RMWEs as another feature. The performance of the SVM based POS tagger before and after adding RMWE as a feature have been compared. The SVM based POS tagger has been evaluated with the F-Score of 77.67% which has increased to 79.61% with RMWE as an additional feature. Thus the performance the POS tagger has improved after adding RMWE as an additional feature.
