Sexual harassment of women at workplace is neither new nor rare, yet it is not reported or even talked about enough. Most working women face sexual harassment at workplace in some form or the other. It is there, yet never acknowledged. Actually, it is an extension of the patriarchal violence, at home and in society, at large, but it is not enough. Patriarchy reigns control by ensuring that women do not have equal access to available resources in the society and that they have restricted mobility and reduced efficiency, leading low or poor employability. Since the whole edifice of the economy rests on the society, economic empowerment can never be a meaningful reality without rooting out existing gender inequalities situated in the social structure. Sexual harassment is one of the chief ways that men resist gender equality in the workplace. It creates a hostile environment for working women. In India, the legal directive for addressing issues of sexual harassment came from Supreme Court verdict in the Vishakha vs. State of Rajasthan in 1997. The Supreme Court stated that every instance of sexual harassment is a violation of Fundamental Right. So, in order to understand and analyze the extent of sexual harassment at workplace and the effect of Vishakha Guidelines and to have an overview and critical evaluation of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 the present study has been conducted.

Dividend policy is a major policy decision to be made by a company, deciding the proportion of profits to be distributed to owners of the company by way of cash dividend and the proportion to be retained by the company as retained earnings for investment in its expansion endeavours. A desirable balance has to be maintained by company on the part of profits to be retained and to be distributed to owners as cash dividend. Dividend payment exerts a significant impact on wealth of shareholders of a company. However, some theories such as the Miller-Modigliani hypothesis theory stresses that dividend has no relevance on value of firms. Contrary to this, Walter and Gordon formulated a theory which supposed that investment policy and dividend policy of a company are interlinked and significantly affects price of its shares. This descriptive research proposes to test the Walter and Gordon theory by analyzing the impact exerted by dividend announcements made by companies on prices of their shares. The study is based on secondary data, pertaining to share prices of companies indexed in Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), which have made dividend announcements. The data have been analysed using the Statistical package of SPSS, employing the statistical tool of T Test Analysis. Results of the study reveal that a dividend announcement exerts a significant impact on share prices of companies.

Offenders now have several well-entrenched rights, but a growing number of surveys have revealed widespread dissatisfaction among their victims. Many countries have now recognized the need to provide services to victims to help them recover from the effects of crime and assist them in their dealings with the criminal justice system. Until 1970s the victims of crime were a forgotten entity in the criminal justice system. The attitude began to change as the discipline of victimology came into its own. In India except in the area of providing compensation, very little has been done either statutorily or through schemes to address the entire range of problems faced by the victims .This paper proposes to examine the prevailing legal framework in India in regard to victim's rights and notices relevant judicial dicta. The paper also emphasizes the need to provide assistance to crime victims, some immediate steps have also been suggested to be implemented by the law enforcement agencies in India to improve the position of victims in criminal justice system .

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of gender, locale and type of school on self-confidence and academic achievement of 10+1 students. The sample of the present study consisted of 800 students selected randomly from four districts of Haryana. Self-confidence was measured by Agnihotri's Self-confidence inventory (1987) and academic achievement was determined on the basis of percentage obtained by the students in Xth class annual examination conducted by HBSE, Haryana. The findings indicate that there exists significant difference between the male and female students on academic achievement and self-confidence. No significant difference was observed between rural and urban students on academic achievement and self-confidence. Significant difference exists between students studying in government and private schools on academic achievement and selfconfidence indicating that students studying in private schools perform academically better and possess higher level of self-confidence than the students studying in government schools.

A study about the role of rural banking system and its impact for the promotion of agriculture in the hilly ares of Kasargod district of Kerala State.

Metal casting involves pouring molten metal into a mould containing a cavity of the desired shape to produce a molten product. Foundry industry suffers from poor quality and productivity due to the large number of process parameters, combined with lower penetration of manufacturing automation and shortage of skilled workers compared to other industries. Global buyers demand defect-free castings and strict delivery schedule, which foundries are finding it very difficult to meet. The casting is then removed from the mould and excesses material is removed, often using shot blasting, grinding or welding processes. The product may then undergo a range of processes such as heat treatment, polishing and surface coating or finishing. Unfortunately, this is not an easy task, since casting process involves complex interactions among various parameters and operations For achieving the defect free casting, Design of Casting process is very necessary. By fallowing the sequence of designed steps, the designed casting will be prepared. In this work, we present a 3-step approach to casting defect identification, analysis and rectification. Casting the defects will be identified Visual inspection, MPI (magnetic particle inspection), U.T(ultrasonic testing), R.T(Radiographic testing), and Final inspection. By all these inspections defects need to be diagnosed such as correctly for appropriate remedial measures, otherwise new defects may be introduced. Some defects diagnosed as cracks, Undersurface cracks, External slag inclusions, shrinkages, gas generated defects. These defects will be analyzed and rectification processes fallowed, so finally defects will reduced.

Unemployment is a big problem. India's educated youth is suffering with this problem is not a good sign for our country. In India, we have fairly low inflation but unemployment is high.

The understanding about status of women in India and their empowerment needs to also take into account the contribution of Buddhism towards their emancipation.This paper traces the changes in the status of women in India from the pre-buddhist times to the current .Social reformers and constitution maker were influnced by the Buddhist ideology of equality and spiritual development of women ,which reveals through their social reform activities aimed at women's empowerment.Research in psychology has proved that the self concept and self identity of an individual affects their achievements and wellbeing.Buddhism has played an important role in enhancement of psychological well –being and success of women till current time.

The cultivation of food crops within the overall boundaries of towns and cities is not new, but has been forgotten or ignored in the last 20 years, while urbanisation has, it is thought, absorbed a disproportionate share of national resources. Though primary activities are absent in urban areas of developed countries but it has its presence in urban areas of developing countries. Urban agriculture is practiced within the city and outside the city boundary. Though small in area and production its worth is noting. The role of agriculture in metros especially in Delhi is undermined due to its low contributions in urban economy. However; it plays a key part in influencing food supply chain as well as in stabilisation of prices of agricultural produces.

History being the treasure house of human civilization has its own role to play over the moldings of society and culture. With the lapse of time the scope of history has become widened, consequently the subjects of little interest have gained importance and being studied widely. In the context of India a subject like prisons development has wider importance. The significance of the subject lies in the fact that it is an institution where wrong doers or criminals were made to realize their offence. The present research paper deals with development of prisons in the Princely State of Mysore during 1799 – 1947.

The state, Manipur, extending between latitudes 23° 50' and 25° 4' north and longitudes 93° 2' and 94° 47' east and acquiring an area of 22,356sq.km, is sited as the easternmost border of India which has a lucid geographical unit comprising of hills and valleys. It is a land populated and lodged by the hill and valley inhabitants together since eternity. Veritably, one cannot subsist without the other, the hill is nothing without the valley and so is the valley without the hills. It has neighbouring states, namely, Nagaland on the north, Myanmar on the east, Cachar (Assam) on the west and Chin hills of Myanmar and Mizoram on the south. The valley areas of Manipur retain a portion of the state with an area of 1,800 sq. kms particularly dwelt by the communities known as Meitei and Muslim. Some other religious communities like Tribes and Mayangs (a term used for non-Manipuris residing inside the state) are also staying in the valley areas of Manipur. In this context, an attempt is being made to explore as to how the Muslims started the settlement and formation of their community in Manipur since their arrival in the state in 1606 A.D., i.e. during the reign of King Khagemba (1597-1652). Significantly, another attempt is to trace out the historical analysis of how far the doubtful phrase “Prisoners of War” used in the history of Manipuri Muslims is correct. Their socio-cultural practices like Marriage system, Clan system (unknown in the Islamic World), Dresses, Belief system, Language etc. and its impacts on the expansion, settlement and formation of the community are scrutinized briefly during the 17th and 18th centuries. Moreover, why the population of Muslim community in Manipur is still low is also examined historically.

This paper deals about the Conflict Management technique that can be used to Manage and Control the Conflict especially in International Business. Conflict in general refers to “a kind of Perceived Opposition or an Actual Opposition, which may occur due to variation in Preferences, Tastes, and Culture. This may occur between two or more Individuals, Groups, Departments etc”. Nowadays, conflict has become inevitable and unavoidable in the business. I would like to focus on 'conflict arising in International Business'. International business comprises all commercial transactions (private and governmental, sales, investments, logistics, and transportation) that take place between two or more regions, countries and nations beyond their political boundaries. Usually, private companies undertake such transactions for profit; governments undertake them for profit and for political reasons. There is always chance for conflict in international business due to difference in culture, political and legal factors. The following paper deals in detail about it in detail.

The concept of translation is defined in different manners by the scholars but the common understanding among them is that translation is a process of transferring, replacing, recreating and remaking of source text into target text which involves at least two different languages. Basically language is the most significant aspect of the process of translation. Thus, translation plays a major role in communication system. Communication, again is a process of understanding different messages from one or more persons or animal to one or more persons animals which may be verbal or non-verbal. Humans use both forms of communication verbal and non-verbal but animals only use non-verbal, because animals don't have verbal languages.

-There has been a steady increase in the proportion of elderly population in the world which is expected to reach more than 1.2 billion by 2025. Though there are various physical, psychological and social problems, nutritional problems play a major role in the health status of elderly.

Driven by studies that show that a drop in tire pressure by just a few PSI can result in the reduction of gas mileage, tire life, safety, and vehicle performance, we have developed an automatic, self-inflating tire system that ensures that tires are properly inflated at all times. Our design proposes and successfully implements the use of a centralized compressor that will supply air to all four tires via hoses and a rotary joint fixed between the wheel spindle and wheel hub at each wheel. The rotary joints effectively allow air to be channeled to the tires without the tangling of hoses. With the recent oil price hikes and growing concern of environmental issues, this system addresses a potential improvement in gas mileage; tire wear reduction; and an increase in handling and tire performance in diverse conditions.

The area and a total of 10 water samples from different 10 locations were collected and analyzed.

The use of pesticides in agricultural practices has adversely effected the aquatic environment to a lethal extent, reflecting the effects on various biological parameters in fishes. The agricultural run-off during monsoon find its way from agricultural lands of the, Mauganj and Hanumana, Rewa (M.P.) which causes serious damage to fishes and reduces oxygen and releasing nutrients of the Gorama dam. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of agricultural run-off on haematological alteration caused due to increased pollution influx especially during the monsoon period in Gorama dam.

Non-performing assets is burden for all the banks. So, none of the banks will like to have the assets non-performing. This paper has compared the non-performing assets, Net NPA and Gross NPA ratios of private sector, public sector and foreign banks. The data collected from the financial statement (2010-11 and 2011-12) of the banks and RBI office has been used for analysis. The results show that the non-performing assets, net NPA and Gross NPA ratios have increased in case of public sector banks. In case of private sector banks same has decreased while as for foreign banks all the three things have remained Constant. So, public sector need to concern more on the level of their non performing assets.

Ruskin Bond is considered a pioneer of children literature in India. He came close to children's literature. Since Bond liked his boyhood very much therefore all his children stories weather autobiographical or semi autobiographical expressed his longing for a happy childhood. Bond liked children because they are more frank, open minded and emotional. According to Ruskin Bond two children can become good friends merely by exchanging a piece of Marble, a coin, a doll and bangles. Children do not like the restraints put on then by their elders. Bond loves children because they are not deceptive.

The Indian economy has a large number of investors in financial products. Many firms with claims to their cash flows regularly trade in the active secondary security market. In addition to these investors and firms, there are also a number of financial intermediaries contributing to the market efficiency through financial products created to satisfy specialized investors demands. The liabilities of the intermediaries are covered in the secondary markets for the firm's securities, with transaction and marketing costs, prohibiting investors from directly creating these products. Mutual Funds and Financial Derivatives are the two important aspects of the Indian financial sector. Mutual fund is such an avenue, which offers good investment opportunities to investors. Like all investments, mutual funds also carry certain risks. Investors should compare the risks and expected fields after adjustment of tax on various instruments while taking investment decisions. In this regard, the investors may require advice from experts and consultants including agents and distributors of mutual fund schemes while making investment decisions. Therefore, investors prefer to avail the advisory services of the marketing personnel free of charge, rather than hiring the expert and paying a handsome amount.

The present study was aimed to comparatively assess fundamental movement skills of preteen and adolescent girls.

Today, discussion about women empowerment is in limelight. Government is busy in throwing various program and policies for the upliftment of her status. Domestic violence has always been a major threat to the dignity and status of women. Earlier there was no specific law to deal with this problem of violence against women. It was only in 2005 when a serious step was taken and an act known as 'Domestic Violence Act 2005' came into existence. This act provides effective measures to protect women from being victim of violence within her own family. The vision which Domestic Violence Act 2005 reflects is, indeed, like a dream come true for women. This paper addresses the provisions of Domestic Violence Act 2005 and critically examines its application in Indian society.

Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's Arranged Marriage (1995), a collection of eleven short stories, deals mostly with the lives of Indian or India-born American women. The present paper specifically takes for study two stories, The Bats and The Ultrasound to demonstrate how women characters in them are victims of patriarchal socio-cultural set up. The study of these characters reveals that their suffering arises mainly out of acute sense of gender discrimination. Their gender more or less defines their identity and existence, a tendency which is rooted in the socio-cultural politics that subtly and systematically functions to perpetuate male dominance and female subordination, male power and female powerlessness, helplessness, objectification, marginalization and subservience.

The aim of the project work is to protect the distribution transformer or any other power transformer, burning due to the overload, over temperature and input high voltage. Normally most of the transformers are burning because of these three reasons; hence by incorporating this type of monitoring and control circuits, life of the transformer can be increased. In addition to the monitoring and control, information about these three parameters can be transmitted to the nearest electrical office where the maintenance staff of the electrical department can monitor the transformer continuously without going nearer to the transformer. For this purpose, radio communication is utilized in this project work, so that, due to what reason the transformer has been failed, at what time, when the power is resumed etc., can be monitored and this information can be stored in a computer at the receiving station. With the help of this kind of system, the maintenance staff of the department can have a continuous vigilance over the transformer.

PROFILE OFWOMEN WORKERS Women form an important part of the Indian Workforce. According to the information provided by the Registrar General of India, the work participation rate for women was 25.68 per cent in 2001. This is an improvement from 22.73 per cent in 1991 and 19.67 per cent in 1981. The two important aspects that require mention are that while there has been an improvement in the work participation rate of women, it continues to be substantially less in comparison to the work participation rate of men. In 2001, the work participation rate for men was 51.93 per cent. Secondly, there seem to be a rural urban divide in so far as work participation of women is concerned. In 2001, work participation rate for women in rural areas was 30.98 per cent as compared to 11.55 per cent in the urban areas. In the rural areas, women are mainly involved as cultivators and agricultural labourers. In the urban areas, almost 80 per cent of the women workers are working in the unorganized sectors like household industries, petty trades and services, buildings and construction.

-Widespread Hunger and Malnutrition is highly prevalent in India. It should be a subject of shame for every Indian. The cost benefit analysis of National Food Security Bill has been attempted in this paper. Is this a necessity for the economy like India where widespread Hunger and malnutrition is a major problem?

Empowerment in the context of women's development is a way of defining, challenging and overcoming barriers in a woman's life through which she increases her ability to shape her life and environment. It is an active, multidimensional process, which should enable women to realize their full identity and power in all spheres of life. India envisions a future in which Indian women are independent and self-reliant. It is unfortunate that because of centuries of inertia, ignorance and conservatism, the actual and potential role of women in the society has been ignored, preventing them from making their rightful contribution to social progress. Women must be empowered by enhancing their awareness, knowledge; skills and technology use efficiency, thereby, facilitating overall development of the society. The concept of Self Help Groups (SHGs) is proving to be a helpful instrument for the women Entrepreneurship. SHG is an organization of rural poor, particularly of women that deliver micro credit to undertake the entrepreneurial activity. Entrepreneurship development and income generating activities are a feasible solution for empowering women. It generates income and also provides flexible working hours according to the needs of homemakers. Economic independence is the need of the hour. Participation in income generating activities helps in the overall empowerment of women. Thus to investigate the empowerment of women through entrepreneurial activities of self help groups, this particular research was conducted with the specific objective to investigate the empowerment.

The doctrine of paticcasamuppada [dependent origination] taught by the Buddha is profound; consequently, majority of people cannot understand the law of dependent origination. Nonetheless, it is as valid today as it was when the Buddha explained the doctrine to Ven. Ananda some 2500 years ago. The doctrine of dependent origination, the core of Buddhism, is so difficult to comprehend that people commit serious errors in understanding it, and thereby distort the Buddha Dhamma.

Addition of corrosion inhibitors is one of the widely used methods to control corrosion. In this work, an attempt has been made to explore the possibility of using 2,2'-dipyridyl disulphide (DPDS) complex as an inhibitor on mild steel in 0.2 M HNO . The inhibition efficiency of DPDS complex has 3 been evaluated by conventional weight loss method and thermodynamic parameter studies. Experimental results are fitted to various adsorption isotherms. The result reveal that DPDS acts as an effective inhibitor around 90% of I.E. in HNO media.

Management of solid wastes has become a critical issue for almost all the big cities in India. Although the responsibility of solid waste management remains primarily with the municipal bodies, several other stakeholder groups play a significant role in the process. In the Indian scenario, the so called rag-pickers who come from highly vulnerable social backgrounds play a unique role. But their services have not been recognized and they are facing difficult working conditions such as low status, deplorable living conditions and no support from governments. Hence, the present paper attempts to study their socio-economic conditions and to assess their working conditions etc. It also highlights some suggestions to improve their socio-economic conditions.

Development of irrigation is of crucial importance in improving the agricultural growth dam, canal, tank, rantek, kata, phad and bhanadaras irrigation being based on surface water is an environmentally sustainable from of irrigation. As the scope of well irrigation is very low in the dry zones, verities irrigation assumes great importance in these regions. The paper explores the different characteristics of damp, canals & tank irrigation in some dry zones in the 17th – 18th century India. Attempts to find the factors affecting the productivity of the verities irrigation command area. The leads of the paper suggest that tank damp & canals productivity depends on various factors like crop diversification, water availability in all damp, canals, tanks quality of the soil and length in damp, canal, tank rantek, kata, phad and bhanadaras, command area and to restrict the expenditure on maintenance and repairs.

Field studies were conducted in Chinsurah, West Bengal, India during from 01.08.2012 to 31.12.2012 to enumerate the relations between the insect-pest attacks and plant bio-morphological features. The dates are taken on 05.09.12, 20.09.12 and 05.10.12 [15 days interval] (except white ear head damages, taken on 20.10.12) under bothshallow and semi deep land situation during kharifseason, 2012. The 23 individual rice cultivars are planted is both shallow and semi-deep situation, maintaining the replicated yield Trial (RYT) with Randomized Block Design (RBD). Field investigation in clearly shown that the LPR 1131 is much affected than any other rice cultivars by Hydrellia sp. (Whorl Maggot) and also has highest leaf length and flag leaf length in both shallow and semi-deep situation. The NDR 9460 is less affected than any other rice cultivars and has the lowest leaf length and flag leaf length in both conditions. The mean AV.% of pest attack in shallow land is higher than the mean AV.% of all pest attack in semi-deep land. The plant height of individual 23 rice cultivars in semi-deep land situation is larger than shallow land situation. The whorl maggot (Hydrellia sp.) damages are directly proportional to the leaf length and flag leaf length. From the calculations, it is shown that the rice cultivars of semi-deep land are less affected by insect-pest damage than the rice varieties of shallow land during Kharif season, 2012. It is also stated that having high water depth, the cultivars of semi-deep land are less damaged by pest. Due to the water depth, the plant heights of semi-deep land are higher than the plants of shallow land. So, it is concluded that the rice cultivation in Semi-deep land condition is more fruitful than shallow land situation.

-Nowadays, environmentalism has become a prominent topic in business processes.

This paper focuses on the consumers' as well as the company's' attitude towards green marketing. The paper identifies the green initiatives undertaken by the company's and the various associated advantages and challenges.

After the Second World War many countries felt the need to have an Organization to get help in monetary matters between countries. The IMF came into being in 29th Dec. ,1945. IMF has 187 countries as members up to 30th June ,2011. The IMF works for global prosperity by promoting the balanced expansion of world trade, stability of exchanger rate,avoidance of competitive devaluations and correction of balance of payments problems. Main objective of IMF is to promote international monetary co-operation. IMF is controlled and managed by a Board of Governors. India’s voting right is 250+30555=30805 because India’s quota is SDR 30555 lakh. India is on 13th place in IMF General Quota. India was allocated 681.170 million SDR as part of India’s Allocation from the SDRs created so for by IMF. India was among the First five nation highest quota with IMF and due to this status India was allotted a permanent place in executive Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is the highest policy making body of the IMF. The IMF has raised the quota and voting shares of the Developing countries in which India is on 11th place among the 184 members of the orgnisation.Whenevr India underwent balance of payments crices, it sought the help of IMF. Some analysts Predict that India is pu-rchasing gold to move forward for higher Voting share in the IMF.

In Uttarakashi, 1991 earthquake, Cloud burst of August 2001, splendid Varnawrat Hill became fragile and crumpled down in 2003. Again in August, 2012, the big blow (cloud burst) has triggered vast devastation and loss of biodiversity. An attempt has been made to minimize the threat by participatory approach. Therefore capacity building on database creation, networking, coordination, and constitutions of disaster management committees (village to district levels), rescue, evacuation and earthquake resistant technology were adopted. Aworkshop with children of 16 villages (seismic zone IV and V) was conducted to sensitize them on data collection and situations of vulnerability. They were also given exposure on the process of decentralization by interacting with revenue department. Other participants, viz. Gram Rakshak (village guard), adolescents' girls, retired military personnel, youth and masons' were trained on preparation of action plan, rescue and relief and masonry respectively. Mock drills for about 1200 students were also conducted. Further staff trainings, participatory community camp were also organized. Till 2012, about 170 villages were covered under Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) project in Shri Bhuvneshwari Mahila Ashram (NGO). The localites are not only aware but they are cautious too and repeatedly cooperating on disaster mitigation efforts. Which depicts that people's participatory approach in disaster management planning is leading towards sustainable hazard mitigation.

Literature is a creative expression of human imagination or wishes, which is hardly ever reflected in our actual life. Agood story can, for example, offer a broad and inclusive picture of the range of human emotions. Jhumpa Lahiri is one of the most respected authors of our time. Her stories describe people and their lives, their problems, emotion, sentiments, actions, human affairs, day to day activities, family problems, their struggles, relations with inner and outer world. “ATemporary Matter” shows the cold and harsh realities of the humanity. Shukumar and his wife Shoba commits to spend their life together and find them unable to even utter a word with each other. The story focuses upon the manwoman relationship in context of bond of marriage, prime issue being the barrenness which has crept into the lives of the husband and wife.

Current studies show that organizations are focusing on the meaning of employee engagement and how to make employees more engaged. Employees feel engaged when they find personal meaning and motivation in their work, receive positive interpersonal support, and operate in an efficient work environment. Most likely, the tight economy has refocused attention on maximizing employee output and making the most of organizational resources. When organizations focus attention on their people, they are making an investment in their most important resource. You can cut all the costs you want, but if you neglect your people, cutting costs won't make much of a difference. Engagement is all about getting employees to “give it their all.” Some of the most successful organizations are known for their unique work environments in which employees are motivated to do their very best. These great places to work have been recognized in such lists as Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work.

Truth is a deeper subject then it at first appears. A concept which confronts us at the start of discussion is the different forms of truth which all the "truth theories" assume. On an existant level everything which lies within our consciousness is in its own way true. The god Mars is true in its existance as idea, it is not however true as a physicalized incaration. It is these embodied facts which the Correspondence theory deals with, its theory is that that which is true is that which corresponds to reality, but before it even lays the first courner stone of its definition of truth it has already assumed the definition it seeks to prove by claiming reality is simply a cold collection of physicalized facts.

-The law of corporate liability for offenses stands at a crossroads. What is at issue is not just the detailed rules of corporate criminal liability. It is not even the guiding principles for the assignment of criminal responsibility to corporations. What is at issue is the very nature of corporate personality within the context of criminal law. The problem is more intensified by process of globalization and the growth of interdependence in economic, social and environmental activities by corporate entities requires greater international cooperation between countries. At the same time, the amount of economic and white-collarcrime has grown substantially. One of the most pressing global issues is the predominance of national and multinational corporations in economic transactions and their accountability. In this context, the development of corporate criminal liability has become a problem, which a growing number of prosecutors and courts have to deal with nowadays.

Indian English literature flourished after 1960.in 1970a new trend of poetry came in English literature in India and got huge success for its innovations and fruitful experiences .works of the poet like arun kolatkar ,dilip chitre ,vijay tendulkar ,manjula padanabhan ,Mahesh dattani and others brought Indian poetry on the pan Indian level . Arun kolatkar a versatile genius contributed much to enrich the tradition of Indian English poetry by experimenting with fusion of the traditional and modern poetic forms and content. His poetry was so realistic . he had wrote the jejuri. Jejuri was a great success in Indian poetic world. First of all ,tha main question to be discussed is ,how far does jejuri appeal as an analysis of the contemporary Hindu religious and spiritual sensibility for which Indian is traditionally known . The poem describes the poet's visit to the town of “jejuri “and the hill of khandoba or lord shiva as the incarnation also known as malhari martand . the visit is completed in a half revolution of the sun ,starting in the early morning and ending in the late evening .the entire experiences is secularized and trivialized. The visitor is starkly noninvolved and frankly impervious to a sense of devotion, a spirit of worship which ordinarily and normally prompts thousand to visit jejuri. It is strikli8ng and intriguing to note that the experience is so familiar and yet so striking and intriguing who is an Indian.

The present study aims at converting the tendu leaf litter organic waste into vermicomposting using Esenia fetida earthworms using pot method . The pot experiments on effect of Vermicompost produced from tendu leaf litter on the plant amendments of Phaseolus vulgaris like plant height, number of pods/plant, number of seeds/pod and seed yield per plant were studied by using pot method. T3 treatment group which includes 50% chemical fertiliser and 50% vermicompost is found to be more effective when compared to other treatment groups on the various plant amendments

Managing one's own emotion, understanding them and using that understanding to turn situations to one's own benefit is an important competency of EQ. It should be clearly understood that emotional intelligence not only enhances the ability of the human resource but also create professional relations among individuals and groups within the organization. What is the secret of human happiness and fulfillment? Philosophers, prophets, and other sages have debated this question since ancient times without arriving at a satisfactory resolution. The advance of psychology in the last century has raised the hope of a scientific answer. Perhaps, systematic, empirical study of human success and failure will tell us how we should live. Recently psychologists have proposed that understanding the emotions of oneself and others is the key to a satisfying life. Those people who are self-aware and sensitive to others manage their affairs with wisdom and grace, even in adverse circumstances. On the other hand, those who are ''emotionally illiterate'' blunder their way through lives marked by misunderstandings, frustrations, and failed relationships. A scientific understanding of this emotional intelligence may allow us to train our emotional skills so that we can live more fulfilling and productive lives. This paper analyses the various competencies that helps a person at his workplace.

- Most of the reforms in India since 1991 are broadly first-generation reforms, across various sectors, except some which could be characterized as second-generation, but more focused on firsgeneration reforms.

-A customer chooses his Bank not merely on economic or psychological considerations, but also due to influences through 'word of mouth' by his own circle of friends and associates. It is, therefore, advisable for Co-operative Banks to work on their present clients to secure new ones through personal recommendations. It should be the constant endeavor of the Banks to study the needs of the population in their areas and devise appropriate schemes to cater to them. They have to be courteous and appreciative of customers' aspirations and view-points. They have to build-up goodwill and create utility for the services provided by the Banks. In short, there is need for a humanized Banking system. The services rendered by the Bank in multiplicity of ways have direct or indirect impact on the procurement of funds and their utilization. This paper has made concern to evaluate the Banking services provided by Cooperative Banks, from the point of view of customers' utility elevation.

In numerous applications of signal processing, communications and biomedical we are faced with the necessity to remove noise and distortion from the signals. Adaptive filtering is one of the most important areas in digital signal processing to remove background noise and distortion. As received signal is continuously corrupted by noise where both received signal and noise signal both changes continuously, then this arise the need of adaptive filtering. In last few years various adaptive algorithms are developed for noise cancellation. The least mean square (LMS) algorithm is an important variant of the classical adaptive linear filtering algorithm. It possesses many advantages over other algorithm, including having a good convergence and providing for an automatic timvarying choice of the LMS stepsize parameter that affects the stability, steady-state mean square error (MSE), and convergence speed of the algorithm. An auxiliary fixed step-size that is often introduced in the LMS algorithm has the advantage that its stability region (step-size range for algorithm stability) is independent of the signal statistics. This paper describes the development of an adaptive noise cancellation algorithm like LMS(Least Mean Square)for effective recognition of signal on MATLAB platform .We simulat e the adaptive filter in MATLAB with noisy signal and obtained result shows that LMS algorithm eliminates noise from noisy signal and get desired result at the output.

The guiding principle of the article is that all persons and things similarly circumstances shall be treated alike both in respect of priviledges conferred and liabilities imposed. In fact public welfare requires that persons, property and occupations be classified and be subjected to different and appropriate legislation. Government is not a simple exercise. It encounts and must deal with the problems which come from persons in an infinite variety of relations. The Supreme Court has stated that the equal protection of laws guaranteed by Article 14 of the constitution does not mean that all the laws must be general in character and universal in application and that the state is no longer to have the power of distinguishing and classifying person or things for the purpose of legislation. Equality before the law means that amongst equals the law should be equal and should be equally administered and that like should be treated alike.

The explosion of e-commerce activities required industry and academia to understand the key determinants of consumers' internet purchase intention. We developed an integrated model by examining how utilitarian factors (perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness) and social/psychological factors (trust) directly or indirectly influenced consumers' continuance intention in the context of internet shopping. Results from confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model analysis with AMOSE 20 indicate that both utilitarian factors and social and psychological examined through this model provide statistically significant explanations of the variation in consumers' internet purchase intention. In the post-purchase stage, utilitarian factors play a more important role than social and psychological in predicting customer internet purchase intention. The integrated theoretical framework explains 63% of the variations in internet purchase intention.

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 hazardprone 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. Nonstructural 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 paper mainly focuses on measurement of vulnerability and identification of vulnerable issues of Lower Brahmaputra basin with respect to various magnitude levels. The present study attempts to formulate a kind of sustainable livelihood development strategy for the development of lower Brahmaputra river basin, Assam. An analysis of major resources as well as critical problems has been done in order to identify the potential and challenges for the river basin, so that a sustainable development strategy can be formulated. It has been attempted to look into the integration at the spatial, sectoral and institutional level, while identifying the sustainable strategy for river basin, Assam.

Schindler's List entered the long list of holocaust movies in 1993. The film is the only of its type directed till date by Steven Spielberg. It won seven academy awards including Best Director and Best original Score. Set between Kristallnacht and the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, it is the story of a salesman from Zwittau-Brinnlitz and his famous 'list' which is believed to have saved the life of about twelve hundred Jews from extermination at the hands of German Schutzstaffel. In a certain neorealistic mode the film portrays the psychological transformation of Schindler from a profit-mongering enamelware producer to a benevolent savior of the Jews in the P³aszów concentration camp. Shot in monochrome the film is a montage of a series of innumerable short shots held together by its background score. Spielberg has employed all possible measures to distance the audience from his work so as not to allow catharsis. In Spielberg's words the film was intended not to be identified with but to haunt the audience. The film evades pathos and swiftly moves to capture the excruciating tragedy in a documentary-like, matter-of-fact tone.

Low back pain is the most common musculoskeletal symptoms seen in 85 % of individuals in their life time. Pain arises without any inflammatory signs or traumatic signs termed as mechanical back pain. Though there are various means of management for the back pain, still no means proved efficient. Motor control exercises concentrate on segmental stabilization which works to prevent and treat the causative factor of mechanical back pain. This study focused to find out the motor control exercises on pain, functional disability and kinesiophobia in mechanical low back pain. Randomized control trial with 42 patients with mechanical low back pain were selected and assigned into two groups. 21 subjects in experimental group as Motor control exercises with back care advices whereas 21 subjects in control group with general back exercises with back care advices. Both groups were assessed for 8 weeks of duration. Following that the subjects pain scale, functional disability and kinesiophobia were analyzed using VAS, Oswestry disability index and Tampa scale of kinesiophobia. The values were analyzed using student 't' test and Anova. The result of the study shows that motor control exercises produces a significant change in pain, functional disability and kinesiophobia in mechanical low back pain.

National budget includes two basic pillars of Revenue and Costs budget from viewpoint of law, is accordance and legal document for running countries annual matters, is in balance between executive and judiciary branch. Managing and organizing budget is the direct effect of political structure and relations between branches. The essence of budget sources is not the same. A part of government's incomes, derived from transmitting national wealth. Having access to this part of incomes is because of government's authority on public wealth and incomes. The other part of budget is the result of increasing in the value of economical activities along with taxing the society. The origin of accessibility of government to these resources is the power of governance that government has upon the society. Other part of governments income is derived from, the governments control over public establishments. Finally, some sections of governments income, comes from borrowing and temporary receptions. The first one includes 1- estimating of revenue2- recognizing, calculating, and determining of revenue 3-receiving of revenue, and 4-depositing of revenue. In the Iranian legal system, only the second and third stages have been subject to criminal protections. In addition the stages of 2 and 3 have not been subject to criminal protections completely

-In the present electronics era most of the adolescent are not participating in physical activities and concentrate on studies. Regular physical activity would be important for life's quality even if it had no relationship to disease and longevity. Physical activity is a significant ingredient in the quality of life, because it increases energy and promotes, physical and mental well being in addition to conferring health benefits. Boys from various schools of [Tripura (TR), Meghalaya (ML), Assam (AS), Mizoram (MZ), Manipur (MN), Nagaland (NL) and Arunachal Pradesh (A.R.)] (N=21000) North-Eastern states of India were selected as subjects at random. Their age ranged from 13, 14 & 15 years (studying from 7th to 10th standard). Flexibility was measured by the sit and reach box test. The collected data were analyzed by using one-way ANOVA. Among the groups and if any significant difference, scheffe's post hoc test was used to find out the paired mean difference (P ≤ 0.05). The results of the study show that, the adolescent boys of North-Eastern states were differing on hip flexibility. Hence it was concluded that, age, geographical region, growth, social behaviour, food habits and level of physical activity may influence the flexibility of adolescent boys.

The global economic recession caused by the misdeeds of investment banks such asLehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs aided and abetted by insurance behemoths such as AIGled to the collapse of the investment banking industry in the US, failure of over 60 banksand financial markets meltdown. Due to the interlinked nature of the global economy andwith many central banks and institutions across the world holding securities of theinvestment banks, the failure of investment banks led to panic across the world and hugelosses. The crisis has led to great loss of investor wealth, huge job losses, loss of investorconfidence, increased risk of counter party losses, steep decline in demand and exports.Economies across the world face a bleak future in terms of GDP growth rates and tradelosses. The Indian insurance industry which has enjoying healthy growth rates and beingone of the fastest growing insurance markets in the world is expected to be impacted by theglobal economic recession. The entry of many private companies has created a paradigmshift in insurance marketing in India in terms of products, tariffs, customer service etc., andhas been the prime cause of the upswing in the insurance market. Considering the fact thatinsurance penetration in the country is abysmally low when compared to other developingcountries it is imperative that the growth momentum is sustained. This paper explore thestrategies that insurance companies can adopt in order to ensure that they continue to maintain high levels of growth in order to be able to counter the negative impact of theglobal economic recession
