-I found that my first perception about user needs and behavior were totally wrong. When I first encountered the term "user needs and behavior" during MLIS (since I was not purely from library science background), I never thought that the subject has attracted attention of so many researchers; and with such diverse research perspectives.

The Rebellion of 1857 was the first incident in the Indian history, which is still the topic of research after one hundred and fifty years continuous writing. However, a class of Ulema or Muslim Theologians, who had taken the most prominent part in the Rebellion, have not given the proper place until now. This research paper is a humble process to highlight their contribution, particularly Maulana Jafar Thanesari. The main focus in this work is the trial of Maulana Thanesari, the Jail torture and his love and passion for his country

With the technological development, the research over alternate fuels is increasing day by day in order to help the upcoming generation with a bright and greener future.

Mathematics has been a challenging subject, since long back, for the teachers to teach and for the students to learn. It is considered as a difficult subject for majority of the students. In most of the cases it is found that mathematics goes difficultfor the students in their advance studies because of poor understanding of the concepts of mathematics at initial stage.Due to lack of understanding of the concepts, students fail to apply them for solving complicated problems of mathematics

The Problem.In today's world what majority of people look for is meaningful work at their work places. Not only this,the workforce of today has also looked for the integration of work with their social life in general. Now the question iswhether there is any relation between HRD and the social lives of human resource. Whether the current concept of HRD is enough and the way we want to shape its future is actually going to hold. The Solution.According to A. Maslow besides basic needs of an individual which are fulfilled by his job, humans also have a tendency to get themselves attached with others which Maslow termed as social needs. We need to formulate policies and strategies in a way that promote social cohesion rather than strengthening the concept of developing individual in isolation. The Stakeholders The intended audience for this article includes HRD scholars, scholar-practitioners, consultants, and students interested in the construct of meaningful work, and the implications of reframing HRD around meaning and purpose

The Sharanas including Basaveshwara in 12 century launched revolution to lay the foundation of a society based on the principal of social equality establishing social equality is in face is of the major dimensions of humanism in Basaveshwara. Basaveshwara occupies a unique place in spiritual th and social spheres. During the 12 century Basaveshwara led a religious revolution in order to kill the demon of caste and creed which threatened to rule the destiny of man born in a Brahmin family. Basaveshwara set his own example by rejecting the ritual ridden Vedic religion in favor of Veerashivism, on emerging vibrant religion having a great concern for the mankind as a whole including the ill-treated, exploited and down trodden class of untouchables refusing to undergo the thread ceremony,

Ecotourism is a modern phenomenon emerged for conservation of nature with the enjoyment of nature in tourism. Gaganbawada is having very rich biodiversity with various types of ecotourism destinations. This area is having number of lakes and small hills with dense forests which can be attraction for the tourists who seek for nature based tourism. Geographically, it is isolated from the developed destinations of tourism. Due to the lack of transportation facilities it is hidden from the tourists. It has potential for the religious as well as ecotourism. The attention of this paper is to focus the potentialities of this tourist place.

This study is an attempt to discuss the impact of neurons on problem solving ability. Cognitive neuroscience is an academic field concerned with the scientific study of biological mechanisms underlying cognition, with a specific focus on the neural substrates of mental processes and their behavioral manifestations. A neuron is a nerve cell that is the basic building block of the nervous system. Neurons are similar to other cells in the human body is a number of ways, but there is one key difference between neurons and other cells. Neurons are specialized to transmit information throughout the body. The teaching of mathematics presents numerous problems for the teacher of mathematics. The methodology adopted by the teacher in the classroom needs frequent change as the student's aptitude and attitude vary year after year. Education is a continuous process on developing the personality of an individual. It aims at the overall development of teaching techniques to solve the problems. For effective learning of Mathematics subject, constant and continuous understanding is a must. The learner can attain the goal. Only after overlooking his distractions, deviations, disturbances, defects, and discriminating and determining the facts previously. Hence a necessity arises to know about the effective and innovative neurocognitive strategies in problem solving ability.

In this research paper author tried to highlight the great extremists in Indian National Movement. The first organized militant movements were in Bengal, but they later took to the political stage in the form of a mainstream movement in the then newly formed Indian National Congress (INC), with prominent moderate leaders seeking only their basic right to appear for Indian Civil Service examinations, as well as more rights, economic in nature, for the people of the soil. The early part of the 20th century saw a more radical approach towards political independence proposed by leaders such as the Lal, Bal, Pal and Aurobindo Ghosh

The paper aims to analyze the depiction of children in Jhumpa Lahiri's short story collection Interpreter of Maladies (1999), particularly the role and significance of progeny in parents' lives and the way they influence each other, directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally, in life or in death, to good or bad effect, lending meaning and purpose to their respective existence.

The Solar Power is the most abundantly available energy available on the Earth and depletion of current non-renewable sources has led to the need for efficient harnessing of this source. The Solar Panels used for the purpose are open to the environment and hence would frequently get obscured by dust and other impurities. The current methods used are risky and uneconomic hence the proposition of a “Solar Panel Cleaning Bot” is made. This doesn't require human intervention and is economic and is studied in the following paper

Viscous oscillatory flow in a long narrow rectangular channel between two porous plates, with a periodic suction and injection is considered in this paper. Closed form solutions are derived using lubrication approximation and similarity transformation. The axial and transverse velocity profiles are obtained and illustrated in the figures. The corresponding steady flow is deduced in the limit as the frequency of oscillation tending to be zero.

Image processing techniques in medical imaging are used to analyze the symptoms of the patients with ease. Medical images often blur during acquisition through electronic equipments, which are spread over the image. Real images are often degraded by blur and this blur can occur during image transmission and digitization. In such situation it is very difficult for doctors to diagnosis the particular disease. Therefore it is necessary to deblur the blurring image. The objective of this method is to detect the different types of blurring in medical images and remove that particular blur from the medical image. The results are analyzed, compared and evaluated through the quality metrics like mean and standard deviation, and these are found most suitable for medical diagnosis for doctors. [1, 4, 6]

Democracy is the strongest tool of any political system,through democracy we can select our representatives. To implement this system we have the Panchayati Raj,it is the oldest system of local government in Indian Subcontinent. It was started from the dream of Bapu,who wanted to decentralised the political system of India. So that every single person have the power to parcipate in the democracy. Panchayti Raj was implemented through the 73rd amedment but some "Scheduled areas" were not covered in this act so government of India enacted a Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996 or PESA to enable gram sabha so that they can govern their natural resources and make the system more transparent and responsible as well. A three tier structure of local self government was envisaged under the PESA. But do we really acheived the goal of PESA in practical terms , it is a matter of debate.

In our current age of more and more data being made available to us, accurate data about whether our body is functioning correctly is one of the most important information one must receive on regular basis. When it comes to getting fitter and healthier, the knowledge of your health is of paramount importance. There is good research proving that simply keeping track of what we do, can significantly improve our health. Self-tracking can actually make us follow a healthier diet, sleep better and exercise more– simply by letting us know the areas we need to improve. But there is plenty of room for human error in manual recordings. Per contra a Fitness Tracker provides this feedback in real time, capturing all the necessary details and then syncing up to deliver a clear picture of your health electronically at the touch of a finger.

In today's scenario there has been a major change i.e. economic prosperity all over. The entire world is talking about the robust growth rates in this part of the world. Higher income levels and booming stock markets have led to more and more numbers of high net worth investors (HNIs). This means the availability of huge investible surplus. The investors with higher risk appetite want to experiment and try new and exotic products in the name of diversification. This has resulted in emergence of new options within the same or fresh asset classes. There are more products available within each asset class be it Equity, Mutual Fund, insurance. The purpose of the analysis is to determine the saving behaviour and investment preferences for the investment options available. This research paper also throws light on the effect of saving objective on preference of the investor towards Investment Avenue

River basin is considered as the basic hydrologic unit for planning and development of water resources and livelihood. Assam's Brahmaputra valley represents one of the most acutely hazard-prone regions in the country, having a total flood prone area of 3.2 million hectare. The lower Brahmaputra basin, Assam has caused the hazards of annual floods and erosion, bringing misery to the people and shattering the fragile agro-economic base of the region. The important factors causing floods in Assam are heavy rainfall, inadequate capacity of river, severe soil erosion, river bed silting, landslides, earthquakes, poor drainage, deforestation and practice of shifting cultivation or Jhoom as well as physical and anthropogenic causes. This paper focuses on the managing floods through specific structural measures such as reservoirs, embankments, channel improvement, town protection, river turning works, watershed management, inter-basin transfer, bank protection and anti-erosion work. Non-structural methods to control the floods and soil erosion should be through flood forecasting, flood plain zoning, changing cropping pattern and public participation in management works. The paper also provides various flood mitigation processes for the challenges faced in the lower Brahmaputra basin, Assam for sustainable development.

This chapter introduces the concept of alternative education in its various different forms and approaches. The author explores the context, history and development of several alternative forms of education utilised worldwide. In addition the authors explores the notions of the culture of learning for each, including the conception of the learner, realization of the learning environment, role of teachers, curricula and culture of assessment. The paper also calls for a reassessment of alternative models of education in light of what the learning sciences reveal on cognitive and social processes which result in effective learning. Given the range of features at alternative schools that seem to make sense from a learning sciences perspective, could alternative schools thus serve as models for a broader renewal of mainstream education in the knowledge society? To a certain extent, it seems, alternative schools have already played that role in recent years, because so many of the instructional strategies and assessment techniques they developed have impacted learning and teaching in public school systems across the world.

Fiscal policy and monetary policy are the two tools used by the State to achieve its macroeconomic objectives. While the main objective of fiscal policy is to increase the aggregate output of the economy, the main objective of the monetary policies is to control the interest and inflation rates. The celebrated IS/LM model is one of the models used to depict the effect of interaction on aggregate output and interest rates. The fiscal policies have an impact on the goods market and the monetary policies have an impact on the asset markets and since the two markets are connected to each other via the two macro variables — output and interest rates, the policies interact while influencing the output or the interest rates.

The present study was based on the secondary data in which simple linear regression was used to understand the impact of time on the production of rice; the results have indicated that the coefficient of determination (R2) for time was calculated as 34.88%. Also t test was used to understand weather production of rice depends upon time or not which was statistically significant in which null hypothesis was rejected at 0.05 level of significance and 11 degree of freedom. Apart from this estimated production of rice in the year 2012 was calculated through compound growth rate resulting 261.33(000) qtls will be produced in the year 2012. Data used in the study has shown continuous fluctuation and declining trend in the production and productivity from the last decade due to conversion of paddy land for other commercial purposes which is a threat to the people of Jammu and Kashmir

Steganography and convert channels are the two sides of same coin. Steganography intends to hide the secret message but transmits data through the known communication channels whereas in covert channels, message is sent through such a communication channels which is not actually meant for communication. In steganography the data is hidden under a stego object that can be text, image or video. Covert channel uses flows in the design of system or any other mode through which communication can take place without violating transmitting protocols. This paper discusses various aspects that clearly differentiate these two sides of coin. We start by explaining both of them into some technical terms and later various techniques are also discussed for accomplishing both Steganography and communication through covert channels and their countermeasures regarding the bandwidth are also quoted down.

The analysis on the performance of a longitudinally rough plane slider bearing under the presence of magnetic fluid is presented. The magnetic field is oblique to the stator and the bearing surfaces are assumed to be longitudinally rough. The roughness of the bearing surfaces is characterized by a stochastically random variable with non-zero mean, variance and skewness. The concerned Reynolds equation is averaged with respect to the random roughness parameters. This equation is solved with appropriate boundary conditions to obtain the expression for pressure distribution which is further used to calculate the load carrying capacity. The results are presented graphically. It is seen that the load carrying capacity increases due to the magnetic fluid lubricant. It is also observed that the roughness affects the bearing performance adversely. The study reveals that the negative effect of roughness can be minimized by the positive effect of magnetization.

The village of Sanjul facing a water scarcity problem in summer sessions hence this work can be carried out. The traditional use of remotely sensed image interpretation lies in the qualitative characterization of hydrogeological mapping units and the detection of specific features. Most applications pertain to crystalline basements. Basaltic trains more recent developments pertain to groundwater emergence in the discharge areas of groundwater flow systems using thermal and multispectral imagery, and to management of groundwater for the latter, spatial recharge patterns and contamination assessment will focus attention on defining the parameters of vegetation and terrain mapping units and on monitoring hydrogeological relevant surface features embedded in spatial groundwater models. GIS is a tool for storing manipulation retrieving and presenting both spatial and non-spatial data in a quick efficient and organized way. Since most land information elements have a geographic connotation, geographically reference data with GIS techniques come to the fore in such and application.

With the introduction of new communication technologies, the power of mass media has grow in stature. The mass media shapes our perceptions of social reality by presenting only some aspect of reality and by continuous repletion of images and messages. Although the form and content of mass media have changed dramatically over the year, the mass media have played a decisive role in reinforcing gender stereotypes and in reinforcing patriarchal culture by constructing new meanings and images and by setting agenda for public for opinion through selective themes and viewpoint. This paper attempt to give a picture of representation of women in the mass media (Films, T.V,) on basis of available research literature on women and mass media. It argues that women and their concern are no longer invisible in the mass media. However, old sex-stereotypes have continued in new forms. With the growing commercialization of the mass media, there has been increasing commoditization of women in the mass media. On the other hand, progressive discourse on women's issues is often co-opted and re-constructed in the mainstream media to establish the hegemony of dominant social classes. Hence, the task of changing media images of women has become far more difficult in the context of market economy

The Bhakti movement was an event of great social significance in the history of India. It influenced every aspect of social life and brought radicalchanges to the mental outlook of people. It challenged the bondage of the caste system, created conditions in which the Hindus and the Muslims could live together bridges the gulf between the high and the low and preached oneness of God and universal brotherhood . It condemned complex ritualism and false practices and made priesthood open to the non-Brahmins

One of the major factors that determine the ultimate success or failure of a movement is the nature and dynamics of its leadership. The strategic moves made by the leaders decide the direction, scope and nature of the movements. History is testimony to the fact that most of the socio-political movements in India and elsewhere saw a strong leadership at the helps of their affairs. Their leadership provided a vision, direction and mounds operandi to these movements.

Microfinance is a type of banking service that is provided to unemployed or low-income individuals or groups who would otherwise have no other means of gaining financial services. Micro finance through Self Help Group (SHG) has been recognized internationally as the modern tool to combat poverty and for rural development. Micro finance and SHGs are effective in reducing poverty, empowering women and creating awareness which finally results in sustainable development of the nation. The main aim of microfinance is to empower women. In this paper the role played by Microfinance in women's empowerment are considered into three dimensions namely psychological, social and economic. The objectives of the study is i) to study the performance of SHGs in Erode rural region, ii) the role of MFIs in empowerment of the women and iii) to offer suggestions for the betterment of women's empowerment in SHG's. The study is undertaken in rural areas of Erode district. Both primary and secondary data have been used. Primary data is enumerated from a field survey in the study region. Secondary data is collected from NGOs' reports and other documents. The researcher has used percentage method, Descriptive Statistics, Regression and Anova. Analysis showed that there is a gradual increase in the all the three factors among rural women's. From the interaction among the respondents it is noticed that some members are expecting the NGO to come up with more training sessions in income generating activities. All they need is a way to develop their skills and talents by participating in various training programs. There is a definite improvement in psychological wellbeing and social empowerment among rural women as a result of participating in micro finance through SHG programmes.

RTE mandates free and compulsory education to all children from 6-14 years of age. The key objective of RTE- SSA is Universalization of Elementary Education (UEE). Three important aspects of UEE are access, enrolment and retention of all children in 6-14 years of age. This goal of UEE, has further been facilitated by the Constitutional (86th Amendment) Act, making free and compulsory elementary education a Fundamental Right, for all the children in the age group of 6-14 years. This Amendment has given a new thrust to the education of Children with Special Needs (CWSN), as without their inclusion, the objective of UEE cannot be achieved. In-fact inclusion of one of the groups, which is extremely crucial for UEE, is perhaps that of the CWSN. Hence, education of CWSN is an important component of SSA

At the dawn of Indian history women possessed a high social status and some of them were widely reputed for their learning. But the social, economic and political changes of later years levered their position and gradually denied them their right to education too. The social code for women, their early marriage and seclusion restricted their life t home by the end of the eighteenthcentury. But the Indian renaissance in the following period increasingly touched all aspects and problems of national life, position of women not exempted, till finally under the inspiring leadership of mahatma Gandhi it assumed the form of political struggle and social reforms in which women joined freely and shared equally with men the burdens and honors. With the coming of independence the constitution provided them equality f statues and greater opportunities and once again they looked forward to regaining their earlier pristine glory. The paper analysis cultural and educational status of tribal women in India.

For Dickens Shakespeare was “the great master who knew everything,” whose plays were “unspeakable source of delight.”His interest in Shakespeare began from a very early age. Dickens pointed out society's flaws in terms of its blinding greed for money and its neglect of the lower classes of society. He was a social critic. Themes of the novel such as the mechanization of human beings, the opposition between fact and fancy, the importance of femininity etc. are fundamental and it explored universal values. Dickens like Shakespeare is a supreme writer of the English language.

Due to a rapid advancement in the electronic commerce technology, the use of credit cards has dramatically increased. As credit card becomes the most popular mode of payment for both online as well as regular purchase, cases of fraud associated with it are also rising. In this paper, we model the sequence of operations in credit card transaction processing using a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and show how it can be used for the detection of frauds. An HMM is initially trained with the normal behavior of a cardholder. If an incoming credit card transaction is not accepted by the trained HMM with sufficiently high probability, it is considered to be fraudulent. At the same time, we try to ensure that genuine transactions are not rejected. We present detailed experimental results to show the effectiveness of our approach and compare it with other techniques available in the literature.

He prepared multiple choice questionnaires. He also conducted Pre-Test, Past Test and administered a Retention Test after two weeks. The results drawn were remarkable.

Water is the most essential commodity required to maintain life. Water supplies in general and water distribution networks in particular have been a part of the modern living. Out of the total expenditure incurred on different facilities of water supply system, the expenditure incurred on the distribution network is maximum. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the water distribution network. Optimization involves the tradeoff between the performance and cost of the network. There are several approaches for optimization of water distribution network. Many researchers have applied genetic algorithm for the optimization of water distribution networks which has proven to be efficient over the traditional optimization techniques. Genetic algorithm search begins with a set of potential solutions and changing them during several iterations. The Genetic Algorithm tends to converge on the most 'fit' solutions. The process begins with a set of potential solutions or chromosomes (usually in the form of bit strings of binary numbers) that are randomly generated or selected. The entire set of these chromosomes comprises a population. The chromosomes evolve during several iterations or generations. New generations (offspring) are generated using the crossover and mutation techniques. Crossover involves splitting two chromosomes and then combining or exchanging randomly selected bits of one chromosome with the other in a pair. Mutation involves flipping a single bit of a chromosome. The chromosomes are then evaluated using a certain fitness criteria and the best ones are kept while others are discarded. This process repeats until one chromosome has the best fitness and thus taken as the best solution of the problem.In the present paper, the genetic algorithm model was developed in C#.net to find out optimum cost of the water distributing network. The applicability of the developed genetic algorithm model is discussed in this paper with a case study on water distribution network of Jaragnagar area of Kolhapur city, Maharashtra.

Background: A 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is generally done at the start of a pulmonary rehabilitation programme or to evaluate a patient for lung surgery. This study was designed to assess the role of 6MWT in comparison with spirometry to assess treatment in COPD patient population. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in Department of Tuberculosis & Respiratory Diseases, GSVM Medical College Kanpur. COPD (GOLD 2008) patients and 61 healthy controls were included. The study compared 6MWT and spirometry to assess treatment response after 4 weeks of treatment. Results: 82 COPD patients and 61 healthy controls were included. Post treatment change in FEV1(percentage of predicted) was 13.70±3.24, change in FVC(percentage of predicted) was 8.44±3.93 and the change in 6MWT (percentage) was 11.99±1.66. On using regression analysis, it was seen that rate of change in FEV1, FVC and 6MWD was almost similar. Conclusion: It was concluded that in COPD patients 6MWD is a good alternative of FEV1 which is considered as gold standard. The biggest advantage is that 6MWD is easy to carryout and does not required spirometer for assessment.

The current scenario is such that the assurance of security in large open networks has become the need of the hour. With increase in the rate of crimes , one needs to take precautions to protect the data in an efficient manner from all possible attacks. This application plays an important role in providing security for military communications , financial transactions , corporates and political issues. Basically for this need we have undertaken the task of providing such a secured package, which provides secured data transmission environment to the user. This all is possible using cryptography. Explaining each aspect in detail as follows , beginning with Cryptography.Cryptography is one of the major concerned areas of computer and data security and a very promising direction in cryptography research is known as DNA Cryptography. DNA computational logic can be used in cryptography for encrypting, storing and transmitting the information, as well as for computation. Although in its primitive stage, DNA cryptography is shown to be very effective. In this the concept of DNA is being used in the encryption and decryption process. The theoretical analysis and implementations shows this method to be efficient in computation, storage and transmission; and it is very powerful against certain attacks. This also proposes a unique cipher text generation procedure as well as a new key generation procedure. Finally, to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, its implementation is explained and the results are analyzed.In cryptography, ciphertext is the result of encryption performed on plaintext using an algorithm, called a cipher. Ciphertext is also known as encrypted or encoded information because it contains a form of the original plaintext that is unreadable by a human or computer without the proper cipher to decrypt it. Decryption, the inverse of encryption, is the process of turning ciphertext into readable plaintext. Ciphertext is not to be confused with codetext because the latter is a result of a code, not a cipher. Providing computer security in large open networks such as the Internet is one of the frontiers of computer science today. Yet, providing security is not so simple, and many technical challenges need to be solved to provide the high assurance.

Self Help Groups (SHGs) is a method of organizing the poor people and the marginized to come together to solve their individual problems. The SHG method is used by the Government, NGO's and others world wide. The Grameena Bank of Bangladesh is a people bank formed by the poor to provide easy loans for themselves. The poor collect their savings and save it in their own banks. In return they receive easy access to loans with a small rate of interest to start their micro unit enterprise. The thousands of the poor and the marginalized population in Bangladesh and building their lives, their families and their society through self help groups. In IX th five year plan of the Government of India had given due to recognition on the importance and the relevance of SHG method to implement developmental schemes at the grassroots level.

Purpose: To compare refractive and visual outcomes in patients treated with Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in cases of mild to moderate myopia with or without astigmatism in a prospective randomized clinical trial. Setting: Research Institute of Ophthalmology (RIO) and RCC refractive center, Giza, Egypt. Methods: Refractive and visual acuity results in a cohort of 80 eyes of 40 consecutive patients were randomized to receive either PRK or LASIK by the first two surgeons. All patients had mild to moderate myopia (spherical equivalent [SE] ranging from -2.5 to -6.5 diopters [D]) with or without astigmatism. Patients were evaluated at 1 day, 1 week, and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post operatively. Results: At 1 month, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), induction of higher-order aberrations (HOAs), and subjective symptoms of visual clarity, vision fluctuation, ghosting, and overall self-assessment of vision were worse in the PRK group. By 3 months, most of these differences had resolved except for trefoil aberrations which remained worse in the PRK group until at 12 months post operatively. At 12 months follow up, the mean spherical equivalent was reduced to ± 0.5 D in 97% of cases in the LASIK group and 96% of cases in the PRK group and reduced to ± 1D in 100% of cases in the LASIK group and 99 % of cases in the PRK group. Refractive stability was achieved in the LASIK group after one month and in the PRK group at 3 months. There were no intraoperative or postoperative flap complications in the LASIK group. There was no incidence of corneal haze in the PRK group. Conclusion: Both PRK and LASIK seem to be equally effective refractive surgical options to treat mild to moderate myopia, however, LASIK offers faster symptom recovery, an initially lower incidence of high order aberrations and faster refractive stability. No statistically significant differences were found in visual and/or refractive outcome after 12 months follow up with both procedures

Sri Venkateswara Zoological Park is a protected area of an ex-situ conservation for certain fauna and in-situ conservation of natural floral biodiversity comes under Sri Venkateswara Biospere Reserve Forest situated in the Seshachalam Hill ranges of Southern Eastern Ghats of Peninsular India. Floristic studies of protected areas is very much essential to enumerate the plant species for future generations and to maintain Sustainable Biodiversity Conservation. The systematic florist studies for three years resulted a total of 802 plant species include Bryophytes (2), Pteridophytes (13), Gymnosperms (5) along with major taxa of angiosperms (782) includes dicotyledons 639 and monocotyledons 143. Distribution of species to that of the other districts and regional floras showed a great diversity in the ratio of dicots to monocots equally to that of Kurnool and Chittoor Districts floras. Species diversity is closely related with Anantapur, Kurnool, Chittoor districts as the largest genera Euphorbia (15), Justicia (12) and Cyperus (10) and also with largest family Leguminosae (108) (Fabaceae). It also represents red listed species in natural conditions with Pterocarpus santalinus, Santalum album along with 11 other threatened category species in the zoo park. Hence, it is very essential to enumerate and enlist the flora of a protected area for the sustainable conservation for future generation.

The primary objective of the study is to analyze the effect of service quality on policy holder satisfaction in Salem Division of Tamil Nadu. The Salem Division consists of 18 branches. Since the number of policy holders in each branch was large, the policy holders could not be selected on a proportional basis, a sample of 360 policy holders, 20 from each branch were selected on the basis of convenience sampling method. The study reveals that policyholders have low levels of satisfaction with the basic amenities, service qualities, ease of procedure, company-client relationship and technology. The study further reveals that the overall satisfaction of the policyholders is poor in Life Insurance Corporation in the study area. The study indicates that there is a strong relationship between the service quality and a policyholders satisfaction and service quality is a strong predictor of customer satisfaction.

Globalization received considerable attention from economists on increasing Migration, Urbanization and Labour utilization especially in Developing countries. The broad conclusion of Migration theories concluded that the people migrate primarily for Economic factor. However, Migration occurs with the different Push and Pull factors. The decision to migrate, to chose distance and destination is mainly depend upon individuals migrant themselves. Though, very less will decided together by either family members or by the groups of migrants. In India after the post independence the Rural-Urban migration got momentum due to wide differ in economy, rapidly growth in transport & communication, education, over pressure on agriculture land, desire of urban life etc. (Gosal 1975). Now the Rural-Urban migration becomes a key issue to Govt because of increasing rural-urban migration in urban cities and its serious consequences by them.Sikkim, a eight members States of North-East India having least population, peace environment and most attractive tourist destination in entire North-East States in India. The rapid development in urban infrastructure, economic opportunity, modern amenities, education, living standards etc attracted the rural people to pull towards urban areas. As per the 2011 Census recorded high growth rate of urban population as compare to Census 2001. Therefore, this study attempt to highlight the factors behind the rural-urban migration in Sikkim while, taking the case study of study Namchi bazaar. For an effective result of the study the researcher collected primary data through interview directly from the field survey as well secondary data from various organizations. The study also highlights the decade's growth of urban population of Sikkim and its implication.

The picture carving in the inscription sculpture reveals the three types of clothings, namely heroes, common man and saints. The Mahasati wearing saree is visible in the mahasati inscriptions. The second par highlights. The use ornaments like forehead chain, bangle, bell bunch, centre belt and different bracelets that are depicted in the mahasati inscription sculptures in different places. The third part is about the use of armaments that are found in inscription sculptures are narrated, which includes the armour like chest cover, and war trumpet and drums.

Thus, the paper highlight the cultural aspects of inscription sculptures.

Performance of a company can be gauged using many parameters such as Gross Profits, Net profits, Earnings per Share, Profits After Tax, Operating Profits, Return on Capital Employed, Return on Net Worth, etc. However, it is universally accepted that turnover of a firm is the strong parameter highlighting its performance. Positive trend in the growth of sales of a firm indicates better growth prospects for it. Sales of a company signposts its size and growth potentials. A list of Indian hotels which are topping the list based on value of sales has been collected and performance of these hotels during 2004, 2008, 2013 and 2004-13 have been ranked using Data Envelope Analysis.Analysis reveals that performance of the hotels has been fluctuating over the study period, though their performance is highly encouraging during the last year of 2013. Practical Implications: This study proposes to analyse the performance of top Indian hotels during the past ten years 2004-2013. A distinction can be made between the better performing hotels and those performances of which may be enhanced in the future. Managers of these hotels should device strategies for better utilization of their assets to generate effective turnover.

Fast-tracking deforestation, proliferating poaching and quarrying is leading to habitat destruction of wildlife animals especially carnivore's animals like Tiger, which is further aggravating the problem of man-animal conflict. So that's whyIndia and Rajasthan government make a 'Tiger Biosphere Reserve' project, the corridor will be developed connecting Keoladeo, Ranthambore, SawaiMansingh, Ramgarh, JawaharSagar and Dara sanctuaries falling under Bharatpur, karuli, SawaiMadhopur, Kota, Bundichittorgarh and jhalawar district..

India is a country with immense potential and opportunities. Retail in India is one of the sectors which has been undergoing some radical changes in the last decade or so. There are number of reasons which has contributed to this such as change in demographics of the consumer, improvement in infrastructure, economic growth, rise in general standard of living and improvement in technology to name some.Amidst all these changes, a new phenomenon in organised retail market has emerged in the last decade which is called private label brands (PLB's) or In-store Brands. This paper is an attempt to thoroughly study and understand the concept of private labels. The main topics under consideration in this paper are the evolution of private labels in Indian market, the contribution it has to this sector, the reason they are becoming so popular in a little time. This is also an attempt to study the strategies followed by private labels and what kind of future can private labels expect from this burgeoning market. This paper also discusses some examples of successful private labels that have sailed though and gained a reputation in the market

Financial restructuring through mergers and acquisitions is taking place at an unprecedented pace all over the world, including India, during the last few years. As the effects of globalization and liberalization are increasingly sweeping across the globe, more and more firms are joining hands to increase size not merely to stay in competition but to extend their dominance to new geographical areas. Through this study we want to achieve a greater understanding of mergers and acquisitions as they contribute significantly to India's economic growth, not only through increased capital flows, but also by sharing superior technologies, such as organizational and managerial know-how, and creating a competitive environment.

Sri Aurobindo's Savitri is one of the most philosophical poems in the world literature. Several philosophical and spiritual issues are dealt with a master hand by Sri Aurobindo. Though the concept of immortality is highly debatable, he had a clear idea of the nature of immortality man can attain. He had a very high ideal of immortality of the nature directly derived from the Vedas and Upanishads. He was of a confirmed view that along with Purusha, Prakriti, which is considered to be limited, unstable, mortal and therefore anatma, can be immortal provided that appropriate yogic methods are applied. Purusha the absolute soul is inherently immortal since it is beyond the limited and mortal planes of existence

Terrorism is an ambiguous concept and interoperated by the scholars as per the prevailing conditions. South Asia is one of the region which is facing this problem. Though it is an old concept but it took momentum after the 9/11 attack in US. The socio-economic and political conditions provide base to the terrorist activities in the world. Poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, starvation provide food to all inhuman activities. Though various efforts have been made to combat terrorism in the region but it is still facing the problem in different ways, which need further intellectual investigation in the issue.

Gender inequality, is a universal phenomenon which largely confronts women. In no society do men and women receive the same rewards Although, women have come a long way, their problems are not at all reduced. Moreover, they are facing more severe problems than before. It is observed that women are not safe even in their own homes. They are harassed and abused by their own family members, neighbours, friends, colleagues etc. They face problems while travelling, in their work places, and public places etc.

Yajña as a concept was developed by the ancient Vedic Risis with a view to achieving the best and highest in all types of human endeavors. Every activity, thinking, studying, speaking, serving, meditating, performing, etc. was conceived as a Yajña. What is striking in this concept is that, in their wisdom, the Risis (seers) also designed, defined and described different stages, procedures and processes of each Yajña along with the respective mantras to be chanted in its performance. The prime goal of all Yajñas, at both the micro- and macro-levels, is to establish lasting peace, progress and prosperity, during one's existence in this world, and attain the highest status in the higher worlds

The Indian sub continent as we know is habituated by a multitude of indigenous races ranging from the Himalayas to the coastal plains and each has their own distinct attributes. In this crucible of cultures the Indigenous Lepcha tribe of the Sikkim and Darjeeling hills is an attractive proposition. The dress of any culture defines its refinement down the ages and in this study we shall try to get of a glimpse of this unique culture through its dress. The attire of the Lepchas is as unique as the tribe and a fair reflection into the ingenuity and resilience that this tribe has possessed to tide over the onslaught of time

To remove trade barriers in the year 1991 LPG (Liquidation, Privatization, Liberalization) policies were introduced in India. As a corollary the domestic market of India was integrated with world economy. As a result the cross border transaction between the countries increased and there was cross border capital flow (Both inflow and outflow) caused Indian companies to face foreign exchange (forex) exposure. In recent days IT industry is growing rapidly. Many companies are having cross border transaction in different currencies, which exposed them to risk of change in exchange rates. Hedging through currency derivative is the most popular techniques to mitigate this risk. This hedging practice is started with introduction of currency forward in the year 1999. National Stock Exchange also launched the platform for trading in currency futures in 2008 and trading in Currency Options in 2010. The Indian firms were given the opportunities to effectively manage the foreign exchange risk exposure and to hedge their foreign exchange risk by using the currency derivatives. This paper attempts to evaluate the various alternatives available to the Indian corporate for hedging financial risks and strategies adopted by select Indian IT companies. The annual reports of three top IT companies namely TCS, Wipro and Infosys are analyzed for this purpose

Creativity is often known as a characteristic that a person possesses, a product or outcome that is regarded as original, and a process by which an unusual, novel or suitable outcome or solution is obtained. According to Segal (2001), creativity involves the exercise of imagination to come out with new, unique and original ideas and products. Many researchers strongly argued that creativity could be taught and fostered. The paper concludes by recommending that Brainstorming should be to be integrated into teaching and learning activities of academic courses to improve the creative potentials of students.

Institutional and technological changes, mainly the HYV technology introduced in the 1960s, turned India into a progressive food grain producing country. Since the early-1990s, Indian agriculture has also faced competition from the global economy in the wake of globalisation. This has led to the emergence of a decelerating tendency in Indian agriculture especially in terms of growth of production of major crops and total agricultural production. In view of the above, diversification of agricultural activities is considered important for enhancing agricultural production and productivity in India.

स्वतंत्र भारत का सपना केवल कुछ लोगों के हित साधन का ही सपना बनकर रहा गया था , बाकी जनता की स्थिति में कोई बदलाव आता नहीं दिख रहा था । गरीबी और अमीरी का अन्तर बढ़ने लगा था| इंदिरा गांधी के ' गरिबी मिटाओ ' के आहवन के साथ सत्ता में आने पर भी इसमें कोई सुधार आता न दिखा , उल्टे अधिक विकृतियां दिखाई देने लगीं । कृषि में कोई उल्लेखनीय प्रगति नहीं हो पा रही थी,औद्योगिकरण के बावजूद मंदी का दौर जारी था,बेरोजगारी, मंहगाई नई ऊंचाईयां छू रही थीं ।

Kerala holds adominant position both in the area of cultivation as well as in the production of naturalrubber in India. Under the Rubber Act Rules, owners of rubber plantations are classified in to twogroups viz; small growers and large growers. A small grower is defined as an ownerwhose rubber plantation does not exceed 20.23 hectares(50 acres) An owner having morethan 50 acres of rubber cultivation is considered to be large grower.The problems of rubber tapper in the smallholdings have not been seriouslytaken into consideration even by the institution connected with rubber. Thus, the actualforce behind the glittering development of small holding rubber sector has not been givenadequate consideration in the rubber related studies. Here an attempt has been made to analyse the socio-economic profile of rubber tappers in the small holding sector.

:Let G be a fuzzy graph without isolated nodes. A subset D of V is said to be a total dominating set if every node in V is dominated by a node in D. A total dominating set D of a graph G= (V,E ) is a total global fuzzy dominating set (t.g.f.d. set) if D is also a total dominating set of G . The total global fuzzy domination number γtgf(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of a t.g.f.d. set for some classes of fuzzy graphs and obtain bounds for the same.

In this paper, I examine the impact of work ethic is a value based on hard work and diligence in the role of spirituality. It is also a belief in the moral benefit of work and its ability to enhance character. An example would be the Protestant work ethic. A work ethic may include being reliable, having initiative, or pursuing new skills. Workers exhibiting a good work ethic in theory should be selected for better positions, more responsibility and ultimately promotion. Workers who fail to exhibit a good work ethic may be regarded as failing to provide fair value for the wage the employer is paying them and should not be promoted or placed in positions of greater responsibility.

India's inward investment regime went through a series of changes since economic reforms were ushered in two decades back. The expectation of the policy makers was that an “investor friendly” regime will help India establish itself as a preferred destination of foreign investors. Ever since India has embraced liberal economic policies by opening up its markets post 1991-92, capital inflows generated by foreign direct investment (FDI) and foreign portfolio investment (FPI) has proved to be indispensable for the cause of propulsion of economic growth of the country. Foreign direct investment and Foreign portfolio investment have been considered as distinct and independent forms of international capital flows. This paper analyses the inflows of FDI and FPI of Indian economy. The study also highlights the regulations of foreign portfolio investors issued by SEBI, initiatives taken by the Government to attract foreign investment and simplified norms of foreign portfolio investment placed by RBI to attract inflows.

The present study is an attempt to develop and standardize a multiple intelligences inventory with an aim to its cultural adaptation. The original inventory, found on line, was in American English language and hence not suitable to apply on Indian Bengalee population. Therefore, the test was culturally adapted with the intention to assess the nature of eight multiple intelligences of school children, particularly adolescents, who study higher secondary level curriculum under West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education. The inventory consists of 80 items in total, divided into eight sub-scales, each containing ten items. After try-out (N=20) and pilot study (N=50), the final study was conducted with a sample of 100 higher secondary level students from exclusively Bengali medium schools. Besides split-half reliability of the test, construct validity and internal consistency of the test items were determined following conventional procedure.

The purpose of the present study is to compare the self-concept and will to win abilities between Management and Physical education students. The total of sixty (N = 60) female subjects participated; Thirty (N = 30) Management students and thirty (N = 30) physical education students from Karnataka State Women's university, Bijapur were randomly selected for the collection of data. The age of the subjects ranged between 21 to 25 years. Self-concept was measured by applying self-concept questionnaire and will to win was measured by applying will to win questionnaire. The “t” test was applied to find out the difference between mean scores of management and physical education students. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The results revealed significant difference with regard to variable self-concept between management and physical education students. However, the results with regard to the variable will to win were found statistically significant between management and physical education students. Physical education students have better self-confidence and will to win level as compared to their counterpart management students

Road transport is the dominant mode of transportation both for moving goods and passengers. The growth of cities and towns has also led to an increase in the need for mobility, and a consequent increase in the numbers and types of vehicles occupying the road infrastructure creates congestion and unacceptable numbers of road accidents involving fatality and injury. Bhilwara city is well known for its textile and mineral industries. The four lane highway, a part of Golden Quadrilateral Highway Project and East – West Corridor Project of India, connects Bhilwara with major cities. The city occupies 1st position in Asia for the number of registered private four wheeler motor vehicles in 2001. City environments are the most prone to motor traffic accidents, due to underlying factors of undue concentration of vehicles, mixed traffic and the resultant flow conflicts. This again has tended to impact the poor more severely as many of those killed or injured tend to be cyclists, pedestrians or pavement dwellers. Present paper is an attempt to analyse the spatial distribution of road accidents and involvement of vehicles in road accident in Bhilwara City. The entire study is based on secondary sources of data collected from FIRs of various police stations of the city of 10 years (2001-2010). Municipal limit has been selected for study area.

The concept of liberalization, privatization and globalization in our country has opened up the boundaries to become a part of global village. Our country should bring out some changes in our traditional education system to provide the right content, in the right format, to the right people at the right time for quality and timely education. This can be achieved only when we transform our conventional education system as per the needs of society and economic status in the world. New innovations like the use of information and communication techniques (ICT) have made it imperative to adopt a new approach and Blended learning can be a key to success to meet global standards. It has been observed that at Lingaya's University, the use of this approach in the classrooms that require the physical co-presence of teacher and students has produced good results. The author tries to explore the possibilities of its use in our educational institutions discussing its pros as a boon and cons as a bane, justifying the title while adaptation into current conceptions, helps in engage students to attain academic success, combining online learning and face-to-face instruction effectively and ultimately throwing light on the uses of blended learning in the beginning and suggesting its expansion to ensure quality and accountability and socialization. Blended learning has become a buzzword and is in demand in corporate as well as academic fields and it is likely to emerge as the predominant model for the students in future.

“I am going to be the first of a new genius. I am not born to trend in the beaten track – the peculiar bent of my nature pushes me on.” Mary Wollstonecraft in letter to Everina: 1774. This brief note discusses that Mary Wollstonecraft was born into the Age of Enlightenment, but was also considered a first generation romantic writer. The paper will focus on Mary Wollstonecraft's Thoughts of the Education of Daughters. It will lay emphasis on how can be seen as a first feminist work of the writer. The ideas set forth in this book are eminently commendable and remarkable only because it was unusual in the eighteenth century for women, especially the young and unmarried, to have any ideas to which to give expression. It is an attempt to illustrate the negative effects of the system of instruction available to young girls in the eighteenth century. In Thoughts, Wollstonecraft offered neither a direct attack on nor a complete revision of women's education— she did not even challenge woman's 'place' in society. In fact, she encouraged women to become better mothers and wives. Stretching the theories, perspectives, and composition of courtesy manuals of her day, Wollstonecraft's pattern of argument remained “faithful to old principles” while extending those principles to women as well as improving on the roles women were expected to fulfill. Through casuistic stretching, Wollstonecraft reasoned from the familiar to the new, challenged through association and extension, and secured a position of credibility in an age when credibility for women was scare

Brands play an increasingly important role in marketing as much as they represent one of the major assets firms hold. Furthermore, online media branding is growing at a very fast pace and is increasingly adopted not only by pure players companies but also by traditional firms. Researches on online branding of shopping products seem incomplete and there is still a lack of investigations. The present paper is an attempt to explore whether employing online media for branding leads to a significant increase in purchasing probability for shopping products associated with online media. For this purpose a survey was conducted among the selected three shopping product companies in the districts of Bangalore, Mysore, and Mangalore of Karnataka State of India with the help of a structured questionnaire and interview. Both primary and secondary data were used for the study. The 300 respondents were considered for collecting the data. Statistical and mathematical tools like percentages, cross tabulation table, t–test and ANOVA were used for data analysis. The study revealed that the online branding had a significant effects on consumer based overall brand equity in shopping products.

Great sages come and go but their message lives on forever. One such Indian stalwart is none other than Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. He is beyond comparison and fondly referred to as the Father of the Nation for his belief in achieving India's freedom through non-violent movement. Gandhi was a real visionary as he visualized the current environmental problems a century back itself. Among the many accolades that Gandhi has of being a lawyer, a revolutionary political leader and great thinker, saintly figure, humanist and pacifist, he was an environmentalist to the core too. Gandhi gave solutions to root out the problems and did not search for solutions to control it. His fervent appeal to his fellow countrymen was to imbibe plain living with simple consumption pattern. He realized the importance of living as a part of the total ecosystem around us.

Originated with the noblest motives, the institution of devadasi had gradually degenerated into something, highly objectionable. The kings, nobles, land lords and the zamindars patronized the devadais for the cause of temple services. In due course, these patrons lost their influence and power in Tamil Nadu politics. Hence the devadsais were left in wilderness. Because of the inadequacy of the emoluments, the devadasis started practising prostitution. It constituted a significant source of income to the families of their origin. Priests, brokers and other groups had vested interest in the continuation of the system. The orthodox Hindus paid much interest in the survival of the system for their selfish motives. The government tried to put some restrictions by enforcing the new laws in the end of the Nineteenth Century. In this endeavour, the press in Madras Presidency generated awareness among the public about the evils of the immoral traffic and survival of the devadasi system.

The present study was taken up to study the profile characteristics of Cotton farmers in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh. The data was collected from a sample of 120 Cotton farmers by following ex-post-facto research design. The study revealed that majority of the farmers belonged to the age group of 36-55 years, had high school education, had small land holding, had medium farming experience, extension contact, social participation. Majority of the respondents had medium levels of economic motivation, innovativeness, mass media exposure, risk orientation and scientific orientation.

The study aimed at to find out the influence of some socio-demographic variables like gender, locale, type of schools, age and experience on spiritual intelligence of secondary school teachers. For the purpose of investigation, descriptive survey method was employed. A sample of 100 male and female secondary school teachers working in Rohtak district of Haryana state was selected by random sampling technique. spiritual Intelligence scale developed by King (2008) was used for the collection of data for the present study. It was revealed from the analysis and interpretation of the present study that spiritual intelligence was not found to be influenced by any of the socio-demographic variables like gender, locale, type of schools, age and experience.

According to A.R. Desai , the Press in India was an effective weapon in the hands of social reform groups to expose social evils. The Press in the Colonial Tamil Nadu richly contributed to the growth of the social reforms movement also, which, to a large extent, was part of the national movement. Sita Ram Singh observed, that nationalism and social reform 'went hand in glove' during the national movement in India. What he said about the close alliance between nationalism and social reform in India was true of the Colonial Tamil Nadu also. Majority of the nationalist press in the Colonial Tamil Nadu, supported the various issues connected with social reform. However, a few papers, like the The Hindu, Swadesamitan , New India, Indian Patriot, Tamil Nadu, Swarjya highlighted nationalist ideas and expressed very conservative opinions on aspects connected with the social reform. The Hindu, under G.Subramania Iyer gave equal importance to the political and social issues while The Hindu, under Kasturi Renga Iyengar, concentrated only on national movement and freedom struggle. These newspapers created political awareness among the people in Colonial Tamil Nadu. Another noteworthy feature was that pro- British papers like the Madras Mail , Andhra Prakasika, Justice, Non-Brahman, Dravidian, Kudi Arasu, Puratchi, Revolt, also supported various social reforms like abolition of child marriages, uplift of women and the improvement of the condition of women .

Despite its pejorative overtones as communal counterpoise, communal appeasement, minorityism, and so on, communal representation in India is often identified with the Non- Brahmin Movement. In fact, communal representation and reservations were integral even to the Pre- British Indian Society in the sense of the numerous social closures operated by the caste system. These indigenous incarnations continued and some categories were introduced by the British. This was only in keeping with the British endeavour to create an overarching administrative machinery, reflecting the established structure of the country and its related concern for incorporating into its colonial framework the well entrenched and the strategically placed, traditional social groups, as its compradors. The origin of the term “Backward Classes” may be traced to the later part of the Nineteenth Century. During the British period in Tamil Nadu, different kinds of terms were adopted to denote the socially, educationally and economically weaker groups, because the identification of the term 'backward classes' vary from time to time, period to period, state to state, district to district, region to region and rural to urban areas.

The Prohibition Movement gained its support from the leaders and the volunteers during the Civil Disobedience movement in Tamil Nadu from 1930 onwards. With the signing of the Gandhi-Irwin Pact" in 1931, a vigorous and more organised campaign of picketing at toddy shops was started which continued throughout in the important the pres1dsncy. There was a decrease in the consumption of country spirits, imported spirits and wines, and locally-made foreign liquor and beer, opium and hemp drugs. The number of trees marked for the toddy lease too decreased during the year 1930-1931. The main reason for the decrease was the Civil Disobedience Movement which played a contributory cause which gave rise to considerable difficulty in certain parts for carrying out the excise administration. Picketing of shops was one of the common methods resorted to by the adherents of this movement

Equality of opportunity has become the dominate factor in education debate and policy. The religion and caste factor are playing an Important role in Socio-Economic political, religious and educational aspects in India. The Indian Government too has denied the claims of equivalence between caste and racial discrimination, pointing out that the issues of social states is essentially intra racial and intra-cultural. The view of the caste system as “Static and unchanging” has also been disputed the history of categorizing some castes as scheduled castes commenced with the Government of India Act, 1935. Most of these castes were known as untouchable in the context of the Hindu Social structure thus, the scheduled caste category initially comprised castes that were isolated and dissolvent get by their untouchability there low status in the traditional Hindu caste hierarchy. Which exposed them to problems of life characterized by a blatant deprivation of opportunities.

-Smoothing filters have wide area of applications such as image and video analysis, which extends to Edge detection, motion analysis, line parameter estimation, and texture analysis. This can be achieved using directional smoothers. Directional smoothing filters which can achieve orientation in any arbitrary direction are essential. It is essential to have computing resources. Hardware devices having capability of parallel processing can be used to obtain real time performance. This is the property of steerability, in which several filtering operations outputs are linearly combined to achieve output of a directional filter which is arbitrarily oriented. Though the literature describes the several efficient FPGA implementations of the convolution operation for non-separable and separable, limited work is available related to steerable filter implementations. In this system, steerable Gaussian smoothing filters are implemented on an FPGA platform using Virtex-V evaluation board. The key advantages of FPGAs over DSP implementations include integration, performance and customization using design techniques of parallel and pipeline operations. A pipelined approach of convolution gives the less number of resources.

Employment is part and parcel of our life. Government has launched a lot of schemes for the employment generation and rural poverty eradication in India. Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) is also such a historic unique legislation reiterating government commitment towards livelihood security of the people in ruralareas. Recently it is a largest scheme of the world to provide social protection to rural masses. This scheme is an attempt to eradicate rural poverty and fight against unemployment. It is a largest programme of government of India which is helpful in the financial inclusion of the people. MGNREGA, however in a short period has extended in whole country and doing a lot for the rural development. Still it is facing a number of challenges such as low awareness among beneficiaries, low wages, corruption and inconsistency in maintenance of muster
