Technology Management is set of management disciplines that allow organizations to manage its technological fundamentals to create competitive advantage. Typical concepts used in technology management are technology strategy (a logic or role of technology in organization), technology forecasting (identification of possible relevant technologies for the organization, possibly through technology scouting), technology road mapping (mapping technologies to business and market needs), technology project portfolio ( a set of projects under development) and technology portfolio (a set of technologies in use).The role of the technology management function in an organization is understand the value of certain technology for the organization. Continuous development of technology is valuable as long as there is a value for the customer and therefore the technology management function in an organization should be able to argue when to invest on technology development and when to withdraw.

Crop diversification patt erns, lik e that of crop conc en tration, have great relevanc e in the agricultural land use s tudies. Crop diversity is an import ant componen t of the crop geograph y of a region. It ref erence t o crop variety . Larger the number of crops grown in an area during a year with each occup ying equal proportion of cropland, the higher is crop diversification. Specializ ation is reverse of diversification. The t erm crop 'Crop specializ ation' indicat es cultivation of f ewer or less number of crop and 'Crop diversification' implies raising a variety of crop from the soil. “ The K eener the compe tition, the higher the magnitude of the diversification and lesser the compe tition, the great er will be the trend t owards specializ ation or monoculture f arming where emphasis is on one or two crop. ” In f act it is obvious that great er the number of crop in a combination, great er will be the degree of diversification.

Drug abuse is a complex phenomenon, which has various social, cultural, biological, geographical, historical and economic aspects. The disintegration of the old joint family system, absence of parental love and care in modern families where both parents are working, decline of old religious and moral values etc lead to a rise in the number of drug addicts who take drugs to escape hard realities of life. Drug use, misuse or abuse is also primarily due to the nature of the drug abused, the personality of the individual and the addict's immediate environment. The processes of industrialization, urbanization and migration have led to loosening of the traditional methods of social control rendering an individual vulnerable to the stresses and strains of modern life. The fast changing social milieu, among other factors, is mainly contributing to the proliferation of drug abuse, both of traditional and of new psychoactive substances.

Climate change is a major problem caused by the increase of human activities leading to several direct and indirect impacts on well-being and over all personality, leading to mental disaster in the form of depression, suicide and schizophrenia.

ICT (Information and Communication Technology) is used worldwide to increase access to, and improve the relevance and quality of education. The traditional classroom, teacher, textbooks, blackboard can no longer satisfy the needs of generations of students used to handle technological tools since their childhood. One of the most recent and innovative technological device is the mobile phone which represents a revolution in education. It gives the opportunity to learn “in motion”, making the learning process more appealing, interesting and motivating. It can be applied to different learning methodologies and be used to help disengaged students and students and students with disabilities.

Poetry is an integral and inseparable part of English language-teaching from Pre-primary level to the University level. Actually it is a formidable challenge for the teachers to maintain charm and interest amongst the highly packed classes where it becomes difficult to concentrate on an individual student or to a small group.

Here the paper makes an attempt to highlight all the aspects of teaching poetry at the rural places where the position of English language is not only miserable but also horrible

Nila Shah in “Re-Narration of History in Such a Long Journey and A Fine Balance” writes that the writers from minority communities have: “ not only tried to unearth and recreate kaleidoscopic images of the past but have employed their creative talents to explore the contemporary reality and concerns about their community.” (Dodiya, 2004, p.63)A close study of Rohinton Mistry's fiction reveals that like other writers from minority communities, he too, presents a picture of his community in distinct ways.

Entrepreneurship has become the latest movement of modern India. The developing and underdeveloped countries are giving more importance to entrepreneurship for economic development after analyzing the history of developed countries. In the economic development of country, the human factor plays a vital role.

In India today, the phrase 'value education' is on the anvil in the field of education— from primary level to the university level. The deluge of knowledge with the scientific progress of information technology has knowingly/unknowingly sidelined morality and humanity. It is found that man, over some last decades, notwithstanding a rational animal, has become so cruel and careless towards his fellowman and the nature which indicates the imminent destruction of the universe.

The English Language and Literatur e course is one of the br oadest in the country , giving you the chance to study writing in English fr om its origins in Anglo- Saxon England to the literatur e of the 20th and early 21st centuries. As well as the literatur e of the British Isles, you can study works written in English fr om many other parts of the world. The course also allows you a considerable degr ee of choice about the topics you would like to concentrate on. Studying literatur e involves the development of sophisticated r eading skills and of an ability to place literary texts in their wider intellectual and historical contexts. It also r equir es you to consider the critical pr ocesses by which you analyses and judge, to learn about literary form and technique, and to study the development of the English language

In this paper focus on entrepreneurship development within the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) sector in India. . Over the last few years, there have been major policy changes at the federal and state level aimed at consolidating and developing this sector. The MSME Development Act of 2006 is perhaps the most crucial of these recent policy changes. Secondly the policies of interest are state outlays and subsidies targeted towards this sector. More specifically, we analyze the impact of total financial subsidies to the sector, total state investment in industrial parks and clusters aimed at this sector and the total state expenditure to support technology within the MSME sector. The paper main findings are that while specific policies that are aimed at the MSME sector have basically no significant impact on the growth of this sector, more general development policies such as expenditure on infrastructure and access to finance have significantly positive impact on growth of the MSME sector across states in India over the last 15 years.

he social consequences, disadvantage and sub - ordination of women on the one hand, and the rapid socio - cultural and economic changes on the other have significantly al tered traditional structures and institutions within society. Such changes are invariably associated with social upheaval, and drug abuse is a known outc ome of such change. Clearly, drug abuse impacts women dually - male drug abuse creates enormous burden f or the affected women, and drug abuser has even graver problems for women. From another perspective, urban settings appear to be associated with patterns of drug abuse in women mirroring that of men, with probably higher risk behaviours associated with uns afe injecting and sexual practices which causes transmission of Hepatitis and HIV. Use of drugs causes domestic violence, which magnifies the physical and emotional distress of the family. Women w ho misuse of drugs commonly reported serious diseases like as ARI, gastrointestinal, genitourinary liver problems and sexually transmitted infections. Women also suffered psychological problems included insomnia, depression and anxiety etc. The Approaches of treatment and prevention therefore need to consider the problem of drug abuse impact on women from all these angles, as well as from the context of empowerment, support and attention to the spec ial needs of women

The present work involved the Finite Element Analysis of existing LPG gas cylinder to verify the burst pressure. The LPG gas cylinder is manufactured from low carbon steel. The LPG tanks are subjected to incremental internal uniform pressure in the FEA model. 2D nonlinear plane models are developed and evaluated under non-uniform and axisysmmetric boundary conditions. For the analysis, the required actual shell properties including weld zone and thickness variation are investigated. Therefore the stress distribution has been analyzed using ANSYS 11 software for which maximum shear stress, equivalent shear stress at critical area has been calculated. Therefore 3D solid model has been chosen in order to predict the detailed stress.

Education is the most powerful weapon in the fight against rural poverty and sustainable development. Schools in rural areas are promoted to raise the level of education and literacy in rural India. The paper discusses the problems faced in rural education in India and also points out the differences between rural and urban education and it is highlighted that rural-urban educational inequality exists in terms of means, ways, process and attainment. As a result of education imparted in rural and urban areas, the characteristics of students in urban and rural areas also varies because education acts as a foundation stone for them.
