In the beginning of 21st century global people have started to face the problem of solid waste which is generated through various human activities. The major sources of this solid waste are domestic, agricultural and Industrial activities. These solid waste are mainly organic and inorganic in nature. Out of these waste some are easily degradable and some are non degradable as well as some are highly toxic to human life and environmental ecosystems. In this present attempt foundry industries are objected to study the nature of solid waste generated by them and to know the end use of these solid waste. Foundry industries are mainly using metallic (pig Iron, Scrap) and non metallic (Coke, Limestone, Green sand) as a raw material for casting. After casting or from this cast manufacturing process, foundry industries are generating high amount of waste sand and slag. Due to lack of knowledge about further use of foundry waste sand, it is dumped on ground, roadsides as well as used for land filling which further becomes the cause of pollution of air, water, ground water and land. This foundry waste sand shows high pH (7.8), water holding capacity (WHC) 41.55%, fluoride 2.28 mg/l and Iron 0.92mg/l.

Aiming to develop the process of knowledge building.When the teacher becomes the facilitator element leading the students to understand certain topics of the curriculum in the process of teaching-learning. These interpersonal relationships guide students to develop cognitive processes through reading, comprehension, and writing. In this context, Freirian theories are applied, because regionalism becomes important seeing that daily life in the pedagogical process becomes a facilitator. The explanation of the world for students is part of understanding their own presence in the world. And with this methodology, there are no dichotomies between living and learning. And this is made explicit, or suggested, or hidden, in the reading of the world which always precedes the reading of the word according to Freire. Ethnographic research of the technical participant observation and free interviews which showed that the teacher is the holder of the fundamental pedagogical obligation for assigning to him the educational responsibility of the students with little interaction of the parents.

Aconjunction is a part of grammar, i.e. a part of speech. It joins words, phrases, or clauses together (Ehrlich, E. and Murphy, D., 1991). Conjunctions such as and, but, because, when, while, since, if, etc, link thoughts and ideas in speaking and writing. They are extremely useful and vital for forming sentences. Further, they are used to avoid the sentences with like bullet points and help in easy flow of text. There are three types of conjunctions in English: coordinating conjunctions as in I like both English and linguistics, subordinating conjunctions like in When I went to the station, the train had gone, and correlative conjunctions as in The programme was developed not only for the students, but also for the teachers. The researcher in this paper concentrates on the correlative conjunctions, their structures, and usage in the written and communicative aspect, because over the years, the area of correlative conjunctions which is important in language study, has received less attention from both the students of English as a Second Language (ESL) and the students of linguistics in comparison with other parts of speech like nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions. Thus, having considered this concept in mind, a student-friendly innovative teaching and learning tool known as ‘Conjunction Learner’ is developed with the help of the computer technology to deeply promote the knowledge of the correlative conjunctions of the students of English and linguistics.

Historicamente a luta das mulheres contra a dominação masculina, fruto do patriarcado intrínseco na sociedade tem sido constante, os desafios do feminismo, torna-se maior, quando na atual conjuntura, a fragilidade da democracia brasileira ameaça a minorias, onde a perda de direitos eleva os retrocessos. A mulher é a principal vítima desses retrocessos, principalmente as mais pobres que vivem nas periferias da Amazônia. Ou seja, a discriminação, a exploração do trabalho, as desigualdades de gênero, culturais, políticas e econômicas, tendem a continuar sendo os principais fatores queelevam as desigualdades. O Programa Bolsa Família, nas primeiras décadas do século XXI, torna-se uma ferramenta importante, quando a finalidade é diminuir as desigualdades sociais, através da transferência de renda, e coloca a mulher no protagonismo, quando as prioriza. Em uma sociedade onde o patriarcado continua imperando, a busca pelo empoderamento da mulher, da equidade de gênero e justiça social é fundamental, sobretudo, economicamente.

India is the largest democracy in the world and individual freedom is its real base. In the present time, the concept of single party domination rule is over and India has entered into multi-party coalition government era. Coalition government has become an integral part of present political system in India. Coalition government is a product of parliamentary democracy. The emergency of Regional Political Parties has mainly contributed towards the concept of coalition governments in India during the period of 1990-2010. The Regional Political Parties make pre-poll and post-poll alliances with a strong national party. The arrangement of sharing of seats in Assembly and Parliament elections lead to successful formation of a coalition government. Even in the developed nations of Europe, Australia and Japan have coalition governments. Principles of adult franchise, free and fair election, independent judiciary and powerful media, multi-party systems are backbone of a working and healthy democracy. People have power to change the government through ballot paper only. This paper covers various aspects of coalition governments in India nd discusses some constitutional phenomena.

Te geographical compactness and contiguity added to the common legacy of the British rule and the common religions and languages make the core countries of south Asia indistinguishable from each other. But this has not necessarily brought about any sentiment of unity in the region. The British rule acted both as a unifying and a divisive factor. While it brought the countries of south Asia together under a common empirical umbrella which also laid the seeds of differences between India and Pakistan over the two nation theory between India and Sri Lanka over the nationality of Tamil plantation workers. One significant fact, however is worth noting that is most cases it was India which perhaps more on account of its geographic situation as also on account of either anti India sentiments spread by the rulers of the neighboring countries in order to divert the attention of their people from their own incompetence to given and solve the multiple problems faced by their countries or on account of the propaganda carried out very calculative by the external powers which gives an impression that India has the designs of establishing its own hegemony in the region thereby generating a fear psychosis in the minds of India’s neighbors.

Stranded in the same milieu (the mid-Victorian age), Hardy’s Tess in the novel after the same name, and John Fowles’s Sarah Woodruff in The French Lieutenant’s Woman are branded as ‘fallen woman’, in the eyes of social myopia. Pitted against patriarchal violence represented by Alec and Victorian double standards by Angel, the former though initially gives way to passive acceptance of her fate, eventually puts up a kind of feminist resistance. In contrast the latter, in her tryst with Charles Smithison, her pseudo-progressive ‘new man’ , though at one stage of their relationship, is successful in eliciting his marriage proposal, ultimately steps out of the Victorian moral standards of coming to terms with patriarchy through such an institutional practice. A ‘new woman’ that she essentially is,she opts for a single woman status in her existential crisis, and passes from the ‘feminist’ to the ‘female’ with a view to subverting ‘sexual politics’.

Postcolonialism started as a movement against the marginalisation of non-Western literatures; secondly, it migrated to literary analysis and then to other fields of study, and got enriched with cultural studies; in its present avatar, it claims itself to be a textual-political practice against all forms of discriminations, including the colonial excesses. Though such phases of development are visible within the discursive practices of the non-Western intellectuals of the West, the Indian scenario still oscillates between the first two phases, without taking up/entering into the third phase of the development of postcolonial studies. Mostly the post-colonial/postcolonial studies operates within the comfort zones of the ‘traditions’, trying to reclaim the residues of the ‘native elitist’ traditions buried under the layers of colonial sedimentations. The process of decolonisation is still understood as the reclamation of the native tradition(s), and not as the emancipatory transformative politics against the various forms of discrimination, marginalisation and exclusion.
