Author : Suryakant S Sonnad and Shivakumar S Sangan |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :-Women constituting around half of the population play a distinct role in the development of our nation. As a mother, she shapes the personality and character of her children and thereby the character of the nation. As a housewife, she maintains the productivity of the human capital within her household through proper home management. Apart from this, a woman herself represents a unit of human capital and is therefore capable of contributing to the economy of the nation. Thus, unless women are mobilized towards contributing to the national development and growth, the nation is only half way towards development. It is a fact that women cannot contribute meaningfully in the process of development, until their own development is taken care of |

Author : Mohd Aarif Rather and Sushma Devi |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : Since the end of bi-polar world order, the concept of security underwent a change from the traditional to individual centric notions of security. The individuals became the referent object of security and attained a position of prominence among the security related concerns. The nature of threats also changed from external aggression to intra-state conflicts. Such threats range from civil wars to environmental degradation, from economic deprivation to human right violation and so on. It is within this context that the notion of human security evolved and becamea top priority concern at the global level. The Human Security concerns are more apparent in the regions with violent conflicts (conflict zones) or in the state of disturbing or chaotic environments and the Valley of Kashmir is no exception. Since the state of human security prevailing in the valley is far from commendable, it is necessary to look into alternative dimensions by throwing light on some of the vital perspectives. The study provides an ample ground to consider these from human security dimensions. In this perspective, the paper would provide the conceptual understanding of the human security conception. Also, it will attempt to capture the various human security challenges faced by the valley of Kashmir. |
