We present our annual report on studied works whi
h have been
arried out during the session
2014-2015. Our work
omprises mainly the study of star formation rates (SFRs) in nearby star-
forming galaxies at their dierent evolutionary stages su
h as galaxies belong to the blue
loud
(late-type with re
ent star formation) and red sequen
e (early-type with residual or suppressed
star formation). Hen
e regarded these points we have studied a sample of Wolf-Rayet galaxies
from Brin
hmann et al. (2008)
atalogue showing re
ent star formation events using H narrow-
band imaging from 1.3-m Devasthal opti
al teles
ope. For these galaxies, we also used spe
tros
opi
data from SDSS survey in order to make several
orre
tions to the observed H
ux and to derive
more other related physi
al parameters from the spe
trum of galaxies. In addition, we have also
studied a volume-limited sample of blue early-type galaxies taken from S
hawinski et al. (2009)
atalogue showing residual or suppressed star formation events using 1.4 GHz radio
ontinuum
data from the VLA FIRST survey along with opti
al data from the SDSS survey.
