DEMOCRATIC RURAL INSTITUTIONS: EFFICACY OF THE STAKEHOLDERS |
Author : Nagamani Dharavath |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :As Gandhiji said “Panchayat Raj represents true democracy realized. We would regard the
humblest and lowest Indian as being equally the ruler of India with the tallest in the land.” As India being
the largest Democracy in the world the need for the sustained development of Panchayat is very important
for the socio-economic and political development of the country. In the process of sustained development,
the efficacy of the stakeholders is very important as they play an indispensable part in the same. The need
of the hour is to know whether the programmes and policies of the government are reaching the grass root
level or not. Panchayat Raj system was advocated by Mahatma Gandhi as the foundation of India’s
Political system, as a decentralized form of government in which each village would be responsible for its
own affairs. Panchayat Raj system is a process of good governance. Panchayats have been the backbone of
Indian villages. In this space age, new socio-economic and political order, large sections of the people,
especially the rural, domestic populations, are getting marginalized and cut off from the decision making
process catering to the interests of the power elites. There is vast need to systematically rethink and
remodel the concept of Good governance. In this process the stakeholders and government should be
brought on one platform and it can be made possible with the help of media. Mass media has a vital role to
play in educating the stakeholders of their rights, duties and responsibilities. Media and Publicity scheme
is of tremendous help in taking the programmes to the rural population. With the burgeoning
technological development, the day is not far where we can have “rurban” - rural areas with urban
development. Here comes the curtain raiser for the stakeholders to work on efficacy. |

INDIA - BHUTAN RELATIONS: PRESENT AND FUTURE |
Author : Pillamarri Vijayakumar |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The year 2018 celebrates the Golden Jubilee of the establishment of formal diplomatic relations
between India and Bhutan. Marking the completion of 50 years, Bhutan opened a Consulate in India’s
north-eastern city of Guwahati last month. The two countries also launched a special logo in New Delhi to
celebrate their enduring partnership. A series of special commemorative initiatives, cultural activities,
exhibitions and seminars will continue to take place throughout the year. A tiny landlocked state located in
the Eastern Himalayas, Bhutan has historically shared deep religio-cultural links with India. Guru
Padmasambhava, a Buddhist saint who came to Bhutan from India, played an influential role in spreading
Buddhism and cementing traditional ties between people in both nations. Bhutan was a protectorate of
British India and came under the British suzerainty in 1865. It signed the ‘Treaty of Punakha’ with the
British in 1910, which set the stage for any future contact between the two countries after the British left
the subcontinent. Throughout this time, India’s relations with Bhutan were handled by a Political
Officer based in Sikkim. This continued until 1948, when a Bhutanese delegation visited India and wished
to revise the treaties previously signed with the British. Though the Anglo-Bhutanese treaties continued to
guide the bilateral relations, Independent India signed a fresh treaty with Thimpu in 1949 - the Treaty of
Friendship and Cooperation. This treaty formed the basis for the beginning modern relations between the
two neighbors. |

UNDERSTANDING THE NEW SUBALTERN: REPRESENTATION OF THE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES OF SUNDARBANS IN BENGALI LITERATURE |
Author : Dr. Samiran Mandal |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This paper focuses on the shifting “lived experience” and cultural practices of the indigenous
communities of Sundarbans, the largest delta and mangrove forest in India and Bangladesh. Although,
there are a number of literary works portraying the lived experience of the different indigenous
communities of Sundarbans, but scant attention has been paid regarding the interpretative apparatus that
often ‘filtered’ their customs, practices and beliefs in accordance to hegemonic upper class, upper-caste
interpretation. By engaging with the category of the “subaltern”, taking into consideration recent
contributions to this topic, this paper seeks to reconsider the lived experience of these indigenous people,
since this affects what Gramsci calls their “common sense”, their understanding of reality or, their
“philosophy”. There is little doubt that the enquiry into the “Subaltern Question” in India today cannot
ignore the question of ‘Adivasi’ or indigenous people as the political unconscious of Indian society. Hence, it
is important to understand how the conditions and relations of the past influence the present and future
development of their lived experience and in what way upper class and upper caste literary mediations
have translated that lived experience of indigenous communities and migrant-tribes in Sundarbans.
Parallel to close textual readings of literary works revolving around Suandarbans, this paper draws from
the year-long field work in the Sundarbans to understand those “conditions and relations of the past”, and
the “integral history”, which takes into account political, socio-economic, cultural and religious dynamics,
in which the “integral historian” is able to identify the totality and complexity of the historical process,
from the tendencies of the economic structure to the forms of popular culture that shape the consciousness
of the masses. Thus, this paper referring to the indigenous communities of Sundarbans not only
accentuates the precarious position of these groups as subalterns, but also provides a critique of the
interpretative apparatus of hegemonic literary practices. |

MANAGEMENT OF WORKING CAPITAL AND ITS IMPACT ON PROFITABILITY: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF SELECT OIL COMPANIES IN PUBLIC SECTOR IN INDIA |
Author : S. Narmadha Devi and Dr. M. Dhanusu |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Working Capital is considered as the life blood of any business organization. The business
organization cannot make progress without sufficient working capital. Insufficient working capital means
shortage of inputs, while excess of working capital leads to extra cost. So the amount of working capital to
be maintained in each and every organization should be neither more nor less than what is actually
required. The management of the organization has therefore to see that funds invested as working capital
in their organization earn return at least as much as they would have earned return if it invested
anywhere else. Hence, management of working capital plays an important role in the success of business
organization because of its effect on profitability and liquidity.India retained its place as thethird-largest
energy consumer in the world with oil and gas accounting for 37 per cent of its total energy consumption

purpose this study is to analyze the relationship between the working capital and profitability of the
selected oil companies in Public Sector in India. Secondary data collected from the three oil companies in
public sector in India for the ten year period was used for analysis. Pearson’s Correlation and Multiple
Regression were applied to analyze the data. The study found that there was a moderate relationship

SOYINKA’S USE OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN KONGI’S HARVEST |
Author : B. Surya Prakasa Rao |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The doyen of English literature, Wole Soyinka is the most celebrated and prolific writer of the
African literary scene, the first debut author to be blessed with the highest award for literary eminence -
the Nobel Prize for his contribution to the realization of cultural events that promote understanding and
exchange between peoples. Having grown up in an atmosphere of indigenous Yoruba religion and
Christianity, Soyinka was influenced by both cultures which are visible in his works. A Yoruba by birth,
Soyinka has mastered the English language so creatively in his plays. English language occupies the
central place of Linguistic expressiveness, the deployment of verbal act as an artistic response to the
written word. For Soyinka the use of English language dwells more on the validity of the perfection of a
voice, rather than of a tongue. For him language becomes an ‘art’ of expression, a tool that approximates a
word or a state of being or creativity for its own sake. So Soyinka believes that his communication as an
artist takes place through the use of language. Language therefore is not a barrier to the profound
universality of music but a cohesive dimension and clarification of independent art-form which we label
music. Soyinka re-interprets classical and Yoruba mythology and attests to the fact that he is aware of
both the primordial and modernist poetic potentials of mythic lore available in African continent. Hence
this paper attempts to discuss about Soyinka’s creative use of English language to project the ethos of
native Africans.

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :There should be no discrimination in providing banking services to the entire population in an
economy. However, In India the banking system has not been successful in providing basic banking services
to all the segments of the society. The term ‘Financial Inclusion’ means ensuring basic banking services to
all the segments deprived of the banking services at affordable cost. The Government has been working on
this since long and has increased its efforts year on year for achieving the task of financial inclusion. Still
the levels achieved have not been up to the mark especially in case of the unprivileged and lower segments

A BIRD’S VIEW OF THE INEQUALITY OF INCOME DISTRIBUTION AMONG THE VULNERABLE SECTIONS IN INDIA – SOME EXPOSITIONS |
Author : Dr. R. Sambasivam |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :India has the potential to extend the quantity of employees in producing and also the contribution
to the world to overall growth. But its future development path is unlikely to mimic that witnessed in East
Asia like Japan, Taiwan or even in China. In the case of manufacturing China could improve its share
considerably in GDP but not in employment. Some lessons can be learnt from East Asia. But, India has to
forge its own path that will rely on both manufacturing and services as growth engines. Fourth Industrial
Revolution, Digital Age and Robotics: Industrialists and others at Davos meeting said that we have to be
ready to approach a fourth industrial revolution which includes advanced manufacturing, quantum
engineering, 3D printing and robotics. It may lead to some disruption in the established sectors and may
lead to some inequalities. But, overall net employment may rise with fourth industrial revolution including
robotics. |

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT UNDER LIBERALISATION REGIME IN INDIA – SOME MYTHS AND REALITIES |
Author : Dr. R. Sambasivam |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Economic reforms were initiated in mid-1991 because of issues like insurmountable external debt,
unmanageable balance of payments circumstances, high chance of acceleration within the rate of inflation
and therefore the underlying fiscal problems. The peripheral factors like the Gulf war and the
disintegration of the Soviet economy have also contributed a bit to this disaster. With a view to tide over
the unprecedented economic crisis and ensuring the sustainability of the growth process, it was considered
necessary to introduce certain major policy reforms on industrial, trade and public sector fronts, almost
simultaneously with measures of stabilization for reduction in fiscal and current account deficits. The
reforms aimed at fundamental shift towards greater reliance on the market mechanism to allocate
resources and influence decision making. In the initial budget speech in 1991 by the finance minister Dr.
Manmohan Singh said that the idea of the emergence of India as a front ranking powerhouse of the world
economy was an idea whose time had indeed come". Quoting Victor Hugo, he furthermore mentioned that
no power on earth can stop an idea whose time had come. |

MULTI DIMENSIONAL APPROACH OF ATTACKING POVERTY IN INDIA – SOME ILLUSTRATIONS |
Author : Dr. R. Sambasivam and Dr. S. Jayakumar |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :India began on big-bang economic reforms Twenty five years back in 1991. It is well-known that
Gross Domestic Product growth has been a lot of higher within the post-reform period. However, GDP is
only one metric. Ultimately, the success of reforms depends on whether or not the well-being of individuals,
particularly that of poor, increased over time. In this milieu, it was examined the impact of economic
reforms on poverty and inequality. There are two conclusions on trends in poverty. The first one, shown in
a World Bank study by Gaurav Datt and others, is that poverty declined by 1.36 percentage points per
annum after 1991, compared to that of 0.44 share points every year before 1991. Their study shows that
among different things, urban growth is the most important contributor to the rapid reduction in poverty
even though rural areas showed growth in the post-reform period. The second conclusion is that within the
post-reform amount, poverty declined faster in the 2000s than in the 1990s. The official estimates
supported on Tendulkar committee’s financial condition line shows that financial conditions declined
solely 0.74 percentage points per annum during 1993-94 to 2004-05. But financial condition declined by
2.2 percentage points per annum during 2004-05 to 2011-12. Around 138 million individuals were
upraised on the top of the personal income line throughout this era. This indicates the success of reforms in
reducing poverty. The poverty of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes also declined faster in the 2000.

Author : Jose Baby |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of low and high intensity circuit training on
muscular and cardio-respiratory endurance of junior basketball players. One hundred and five junior
Basketball players (13-15 years) were selected on a random purposive sampling from Vimla Public School
Thodupuzha, Kerala, India. The study was formulated as a factoral design and the subjects (n=105) were
equated into three groups (n= 35). Group I served as control, group II was exposed to low intensity circuit
training programme, at a sub-maximal load for a period of twelve weeks for three days per week. Group III
was subjected to high intensity circuit training programme, for a period of twelve weeks at a sub-maximal
load for five days in a week. The effect of low and high intensity circuit training on the junior basketball
players were tested before and after the experimental treatment and data was collected on the criterion
measures (push-ups, sit-ups, half squat jump and twelve minutes run and walk test). The analysis of covariance was applied to the data. The initial mean among the group were adjusted with the final means to
determine the significant ‘F’ratio between the paired mean. The level of confidence was fixed at the 0.05
level of significance. The ‘F’ ratio was tested for mean significant difference at the 0.05 level of confidence.
The Post hoc – test of Scheffi’s correction was applied to determine the confidence between the paired
mean groups. Our results showed that the circuit training program was effective to increase and maintain
both muscular and cardiovascular endurance among basketball players. Further high intensity circuit
training program significantly enhanced the endurance of players. Therefore, such study will help physical
education teachers design programs that impart physical fitness among basketball players.

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Due to the adverse effects induced by global ecological crisis, the issue of indigenous environmental
ethics has got the attention of philosophers and scientists. As it has been highlighted in this article,
different ethnic groups in Africa have insightful wisdom towards the natural resources. Despite the
negative views of some scholars about African indigenous environmental ethics, the study finds out that

environmental worldviews by destroying the specific cultural traits under the guise of economic
development and the interference of foreign values and beliefs.Thus the main objective of this research is
to assess the Indigenous Environmental Ethics status at Harana Buluk and Dinsho woreda. To realize this
purpose, qualitative method is implemented.Relevant information has been gathered from both primary
and secondary sources. The study reveals that Indigenous Environmental Ethics is the set of values and
beliefs of individuals or group relating to environment. |

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND PERSONALITY OF XII STANDARD STUDENTS |
Author : Dr. Shrikant Bhanudas Chavan |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :When one tries to measure the amount of success of a person in a specific field or area of
accomplishment, then it is said to be his or her achievement – this may be in a school situation, or in a
bank, or in a company or in a factory or in any sort of academy.
Academic achievement has become an important index of student’s caliber in today’s competitive
world. Academic achievement is the ultimate product of an educational process. Everyday tries to increase
this index. It has become an important goal for students, parents, teachers and even institutions.
The study of personality is at once one of the most fascinating and one of the most difficult
problems of psychology. One approach to the person has been primarily analytical. We tried to study the
various forms thinking that human of behaviour like perceiving, learning, imagining and beings show and
the principles that govern such behaviour. We may now attempt to understand what the person is as a
whole. A study of the total human behaviour is called the study of personality and since such a study covers
the whole field of psychology, the term psychology of personality has lately become almost synonymous
with the entire field of psychology. Personality is not just one form of behaviour that human beings show,
like learning, attending or perceiving; it is rather the totality of all these forms of behaviour that manifest
themselves in a person. |

Author : Ishani Senapoti |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Movements for Autonomy have marked the political discourse in Northeast India for the last
decades. The aim and purpose of the autonomy movement is not only to bring about change in the existing
system but also to augment legitimate expressions of aspirations by the people having a distinct culture,
tradition and common pattern of living. In the post colonial period, Assam which is a land of diverse ethnic
communities has witnessed a serious of autonomy movements based on the political demands for
statehood. The autonomy movement of the Hill Tribals in North East India in general and North Cachar
Hills District and Karbi Anglong District of Assam in particular is a continuous effort and struggle of the
Hill Tribal to protect and preserve their distinct identity, culture and tradition and to bring about a change
in the existing socio-political arrangement. Although the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution has
provided for Autonomous Councils in these two districts but much improvement could not be achieved due
to limited power of the Autonomous District Council and the State government’s apathy. Their demand for
an autonomous state is rooted in the long history of similar movements in the north east and has been
demanding a separate state for the Dimasas and the Karbis in the name of ‘Dimaraji’ for Dimasas and
‘Hemprek’ for Karbis. |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The paper analyses condition of ground water depth of district Sirsa in 2005 and 2015. Ground
water is the most important resource used as drinking water, for irrigation and for other household use in
the district. The results show big change in the use of ground water from one block to another. The depth
of ground water is continuously declining. Ground water is mostly exploited by growth of industries,
agriculture, and municipal sectors. In all the blocks ground water depth is declining. The stage of
development is 154 percent which implies that the annual water consumption is more than annual ground
water recharge. Alarming situation of ground water resource of Sirsa district highlights the need of
immediate action required for its conservation in the district. Government has to take strong action
against over exploitation by industries/factories, over use in irrigation and wastage in households. So, the
future of ground water in Sirsa district is in danger, if emphatically action for its preservation is not taken
immediately. |

DOES INCOME OF PEOPLE AND TECHNOLOGY INFLUENCE MEDICAL TOURISM POTENTIALITIES? AN EMPIRICAL STUDY ON PERCEPTION OF PEOPLE IN SILIGURI (W.B., INDIA) |
Author : Mr. Sabyasachi Bose |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Medical Tourism sector is considered to lead the Indian success story after Information
Technology. Medical Tourism is new format of tourism market. A travel industry that has remained
unaffected irrespective of global economic slowdown is Medical Tourism. Today only Thailand precedes
India in world ranking as medical tourism destination. India’s share in the global medical tourism industry
was around 3 per cent by the end of 2013 and has reached to 18% by the end of 2017. The Indian health
care industry is destined to grow rapidly following the mammoth Indian population growth, reduced
mortality rate and the feature of low cost quality services with a repository of tourist destinations.
According to Josef Woodman, the CEO of U.S. based medical travel consumer guide ‘Patients Beyond
Borders (PBB)’, the world medical tourism market is accounting a growth rate of 25-35 percent per year.
It is expected to become a USD 280 billion industry by 2022 with an annual growth rate of average 30 per
cent which currently accounting for 13 per cent. Further, globalization and resulting trade liberalization
in health services have caused an upsurge in cross-border flows of health care professionals creating scope
for Indian players in abroad too. The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) signed as a part of
World Trade Organisation (WTO) agreement also paved the opportunities for member countries like India
to explore new markets in health services by further liberalizing trade in services. Siliguri is the gateway to
north-eastern India and shares its border with Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, and Nepal. It is a very
important trading hub of North-Bengal and popularly known as Chicken-Neck of India. The Tea, Timber,
and Tourism are three main sources of income for the people in Siliguri. Thus, there are two implications of
this research, one being economic implication whereby the concerned hospitals and auxiliary institutions
get economically benefitted by the tourist which put impact also on the tourism sector. The other social
implication is that whether the accessibility and affordability of medical services in Siliguri are satisfactory
from the consumers’ point of view. This paper seek to explore the perception of Siliguri people about
Medical Tourism potentialities in Siliguri and also to suggest some measures to policy makers for
augmenting the growth rate of this industry on a sustainable basis. |

IMPACT OF QUIT INDIA MOVEMENT ON RAYALASEEMA – A REVIEW |
Author : C. Baba Fakardhin |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :After suppressing the mass upsurge of August-September 1942, the British lapsed into euphoria for
some time, assuming that they had effectively removed the Congress from the centre of Indian politics. In a
state of disarray and disorganization, the Congress was thought to have been rendered incapable of posing
any threat to the Government. As early as 10th September 1942, Prime Minister Churchill declared in the
British Parliament that the Congress party does not represent all India. It does not represent the majority
of the people of India. It does not even represent the Hindu masses. It is a political organization built
around a party machine and sustained by certain manufacturing and financial interests. Ninety million
Muslims, fifty million depressed classes or untouchables, and ninety-five million Indians of Princely India,
Churchill contended, were fundamentally opposed to the Congress. He included the Christians and the
Sikhs, too, in this category of anti-Congress elements. The Congress as such was a non-representative and
powerless organization which could do no harm. That the situation in India was normal was proved by the
fact that 140,000 new recruits had joined the army during the time of the disturbances. |

Abstract :Every man is a child of his age. He is influenced by it though if he is man of letters, he may influence
it also. An author belongs to his race and age; the spirit of his race and age finds expression through him. A
writer is generally said to be “not of an age but of all ages”. A creative thinker is by definition a sociopolitical being. Her or his significance lies in preparing and fostering certain principles, which make the
earth a better place to live in. The writers, therefore, cannot confine their words merely for leisure activity;
they require to be in touch with more solemn and concerned issues in the society. They are a reflection of
the society. They return to the society what they receive from it. They not only reflect the various
discourses of the society they live in, but also mediate to mend it as well by their own efforts. Therefore,
they cannot escape from the spirit of their own age.

STATE AND NGO’s IN CHINA: A THEORETICAL DIMENSION |
Author : Ila Joshi |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The economic reforms have not only placed China among the fastest growing economies of the
world, but also brought about many socio-economic changes. Unlike other Communist countries like Soviet
Russia and Eastern Europe which were not able to support reforms and ultimately broke down to
democratic structure, China has stood out as a distinctive case. Chinese political system still remains
authoritarian but succumbing to the growing demands of globalization and market economy, there are
certain areas where Chinese government has found it difficult to govern its highly differentiated and
complex society. The rise of social sector outside the Party/State structure in this context becomes
inevitable. But adhering to the Leninist nature of the Chinese state, the growth of any such organizational
sphere as a sector independent from state seems to be a distant idea. |

A STUDY ON ADMINISTRATION AND WORKING OF MGNREGS : ITS IMPACT ON COUNTRYSIDE OF KURNOOLDISTRICT OF ANDHRA PRADESH |
Author : Varam Venkata Narasaiah |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Labour is the main asset for the vast majority of the poor in India and as a result expanding
employment opportunities should be the focus for not only sustained poverty reduction but also for
improvement in human development. The absolute number of unemployed and underemployed has
consistently increased in spite of the fact that there was an improvement in the gross domestic product of
the economy.Agriculture has proved to be a losing proposition in the country. The larger agrarian crisis
has a terribly adverse effect on farm households. The increasing numbers of farmers committing suicides
reflect the symptom of this crisis. Because of the failure of agriculture, which happens to be the largest
employer in the rural areas, unemployment and underemployment are quite rampant in the rural areas
and it is incumbent upon the government to address this issue. It was perceived that there was a dire need
for programs that generated employment directly and wage income to the poor. Especially, during the
absence of opportunities of employment in the rural areas, these employment generating programs
provided income transfers to the poor in India. Many schemes have been conceived of and implemented for
the welfare of the weaker sections of the society since independence. Hence, we can say that India has a
protracted history and experience in implementing wage employment programs. The National Rural
Employment Generation Act 2005 (NREGA) makes a clear departure from the previous employment
generation programs. It is unique in the sense that MGNREGA being an Act is also a right. It has a ‘rightsbased’ framework which gives a legal guarantee for work, as opposed to a typicalgovernment program
which could be withdrawn at will by a government. |

SEXISM IN MARVEL COMIC BOOKS |
Author : Dwitun Basumatary |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Comic Books have been one of the most successful forms of entertainment for more than a century.
Apart from being a medium of expression comic books had also ceased to be just a book for comic relief
and diverted to represent the society. The people, their culture and the manners they behave have been
represented in Marvel Comic books since the World War days. However the sexuality which they present
their characters has become questionable as the superheroes in Marvel Comic book have been over
represented or sometimes under represented considering the societal standards. Women characters have
been hyper sexualized in their drape. Stan Lee the mind behind Marvel chose to put his superheroes in the
extremity of either masculine or feminine standing. Men were shown to be too manly and women too
womanly. Even Aliens are reduced to follow some of the Earthly livelihood ways that included being
muscular for menfolk or being curvy for women. Women were mostly depicted as an object of desire or
some detachable side kick who had no mission of her own but followed from some higher male agency.
Moreover the American way of life is represented in Marvel Comics in minute details many of which would
have been better if these had been done away with.

IDENTITY POLITICS IN POST-COLONIAL ASSAM: A STUDY OF NAGA IDENTITY POLITICS |
Author : Gautam Saikia |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :India became an independent sovereign state, after experiencing prolonged 200 years of British
colonial rule in 1947. The homogenization of Indian national identity after independence marked the
beginning of identity politics. Before the advent of British rule, the primary units of identity among the
Nagas were the clan, family and village. Certain factors like the Naga’s Traditional Self Governing
Institutions to which the Nagas were only loyal, Government of India Act of 1935 which designated the
Naga Hills district as an ‘excluded area’ with an Inner Line Regulation were perhaps the first stages of
Naga Identity formation. The Nagas became part of the Indian Union in accordance with the Hydari
Agreement. Naga National Council (NNC) the first ever Naga political organization, have become the
nerve centre of Naga tribes as an all Naga political organization and had played a tremendous role in the
Naga Identity politics. The Naga identity emerged and expanded under the elaborate administrative,
economic, religious and educational policy of the British, which forged to develop a feeling of solidarity
and unity among the Nagas. Modernization and education has awakened them and the formation of the
state of Nagaland in 1963 was the outcome of the Naga identity politics. The present Naga identity
formation is of recent origin, due to a common religion, English Education, Administrative measures such
as creation of districts and State, Economic and Development activities and the failure on the part of the
government to bring out the desired results. |

Author : Dr. S. Ravivarman |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The basic unit of any language is the sentence. Praninskar, Jean (1980) says every language has
systematic structural constituents. Analysis and synthesis of the constituents of the structural patterns help
for better communication. Without the background knowledge about the structural patterns,
communication becomes incomplete; consequently comprehension does not happen among the learners.
Adequate basic structures would enable learners to comprehend better. Hence an intensive training on
tense and voice is necessary for better comprehension. In this present study, the investigator has adopted
(pre – test and post – test) experimental research method. Using purposive sampling technique two
hundred and forty students from eight elementary schools were included in the investigation. From the
analyses and findings it could be decided that intensive training on tense and voice forms has positive
effects on comprehension. |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The term ‘Non – Alignment’ is usually used to describe the foreign policies of nations which have
not allied themselves with either of two blocs – communist and western which appeared on the
international arena after the Second World War. This policy was first adopted by countries like India ,
Burma, Ceylon and Indonesia and became so popular in the course of time that most of the Afro – Asian
Countries which gained independence in subsequent years also became adherents of this policy . It is

FEMINISTIC CONSCIOUSNESS: A SCRUTINY OF HEMINGWAY’S TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT |
Author : Dr. I. Rufus Sathish Kumar |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This critique is an appraisal of an investigatorto unveil the feministic consciousness in Ernest
Miller Hemingway’s To Have and Have Not. Though Hemingway is occupied with war and violence in his
life, he never led his life devoid of woman. The status of women in our social order even today is
excruciatingly painfuldue to the male ascendancy. This male supremacy is made in all realms irrespective
to the race, religion, language, and caste. The portrayal of women bears a gigantic change according to
the mores, and ethnicity of the society. The delineation of women is not a stationary one. The women
community sweats to maintain a sanguine representation in the familylife. Hemingway’sperceptions of
women in this novel show that he has a least botheration about the empowerment of women.
Women are portrayed as subordinate in his novelTo Have and Have Not.A societal governance of
the male community is seen unbutton on the portico of the novel. The symbol of the women in the writings
of Hemingway discloses the unenthusiastic thought of the society on women. On the other side Hemingway
unearths the significance and the optimistic representation of women in his writings. Hence, it is a stab of
the pollster to discharge the representation of women in the life of American writer Ernest Hemingway. |

A SCRUTINY OF CASTE STIGMA IN RABINDRANATH TAGORE’S CHANDALIKA |
Author : Dr. I. Rufus Sathish Kumar |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The present paper aims at scrutinizing the caste stigma as abundantly found in Tagore’s worldacclaimed social play Chandalika that chronicles the insurmountable pangs and sufferings of an
untouchable girl Prakriti. Being born into a socially segregated family, Prakriti is portrayed as an epitome
of the fractured psyche who is torn between the caste stigma and the new spirit as enlightened by
Anandha, the Buddhist Monk.
Prakriti is the cynosure of the play who lives on the fringes of a human society that segregates her
for just being born as untouchable- who are much prone to undergo humiliation, indignities, injustices,
atrocities as leveled against them by the narrowed caste-ridden Hindu society. Prakriti remains a victim to
her socio-culturally determined selfhood as she internalizes the social stigma attached to her caste and
class.
By addressing the theme of untouchability through the character Prakriti, Tagore is making an
extremely bold socio-political statement about the perils of untouchability with the aim of visualizing an
egalitarian society. Hence, Rabindranath Tagore is a staunch supporter of castless society that is quite
evident from his acclaimed play Chandalika. |

THE ROLE OF SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTION MANAGEMENT IN INDIAN SEA PORTS (A CASE STUDY OF ANDHRA PRADESH) |
Author : Smt. B. Saroja Rani, Dr.P.V.V.Satyanarayana and Dr. P. Vijaya Kumar |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The recent rise in a number of calamities and terrorist acts has brought much attention to the
vulnerabilities of supply chains. Having passed through many hands that span continents and entities, the
reliability and timeliness of freight delivery become increasingly difficult to be assessed. Particularly, at
seaports which is an indispensible node in global supply chains and where complex sea and land interfaces
come into play, the role of ports in maritime supply chain disruptions needs to be explored. The changing
functions of ports and the current supply chain trends denote implications that when identified, will allow
better development of mitigation strategies for ports. Despite the importance of this issue, most literature
focuses on generic disruptions in the supply chain and those that addresses port-related disruptions do not
provide a holistic view of risk management in ports. This research thus aims to fill the literature gap by
describing guidelines for port management to operationalise by way of a management model constructed
through a comprehensive review of previous research and real life cases and in-depth interviews with
management from a port and a port user based in Singapore. The aim is to build a more resilient and
sustainable port in the light of challenging evolvement of supply chain trends in the dynamic maritime
climate. The management model encompasses three fundamental levels of the port, with strategic
responses tailored for the institutional, management and operational levels. Implications to the operations
and management of ports in the supply chain context are drawn and future research opportunities are
discussed accordingly. |

respectively. There is gender inequality in incidence of ailments reported morbidity and it was visible as
the reported morbidity prevalence rate was more in females (99 rural and 135 urban per thousand
populations) than in male counterpart (80 rural and 101 urban per thousand). The occurrence of
morbidity was higher among lower age group (0-4) and in the higher age group (above 60) which
displaying U shaped relationship over a period of time. But in the age group up to 24 years it declining and
henceforth it starts increasing. This paper tries to find out the trends in reporting of morbidity among

STUDY OF THERMODYNAMIC ENTROPY OF BLACK HOLES WITH APPLICATION TO FLUCTUATION THEORY |
Author : Dr. Ranjan Prasad and Dr. Umashanker Choudhary |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :In recent years there has been enormous progress in understanding the entropy and other
thermodynamic properties of black holes within string theory going well beyond the thermodynamic limit.
It has become possible to begin exploring finite size effects in perturbation theory in inverse size with
highly nontrivial agreements between thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. Thermodynamic
fluctuation theory also has applications to a wide variety of thermodynamic parameters of black holes
supported by other methods. In this research paper some thermodynamic parameters of black-holes such
as the entropy has been supposed to be determined by application of fluctuation theory applied in
thermodynamic equilibrium state of the system. The decisive results have been found to agree to a good
approximation with the reported results in the literatures. |

NEWS MEDIA ETHICS IN ASSAM |
Author : Dr. Kisholoy Choudhury and Bhanupriya Daimari |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Any sort of technological advancement, has both its pros and cons in the context of social change.
Technological advancements, especially the changing role of the media, have a lasting impact on molding
cultural attributes—ways of thought, attitude and lifestyles. Whether this impact is healthy or not from
the viewpoint of developing a ‘culturally’ sustainable society is a crucial question. But the fact is that in
Assam media has also its negative impact on the society which cannot be nullified. This paper is an attempt
to study on the status of the social responsibility of media in Assam and it impact on the society at large.
There is also an acute awareness that the media should be responsible in what and how it report and also
clearly distinguish disseminating information from analysis and opinions.
The role of news media is very significant in Assam, and Assam has a very vibrant news media. It is
strongly vocal about the policies and programmes of the government. However, “Assamese” as a
community has always been quite emotional and thus being easily moved by sentiments. This has induced
political leaders and other vested interest groups to easily motivate the masses for their own selfish
motives by using the news media and mass media directly or indirectly. At times media persons are also
seen going against the rules by glorifying political leaders or political parties thereby misleading the
people and the society. Therefore the concept and status of media ethics in context to news media holds
prime value for the overall development of the society. |

literature, the first African to be honored in that category. A deep chasm divided the African life and the
materialistic modern life, which the Africans have assimilated. In Wole Soyinka’s, ‘The Lion and the Jewel,’

and tradition has been clearly delineated through the European tongue. It presents the conflict between
Baroka the lion and Lakunle, the school master. The most prominent theme of this story is the rapid
modernization of Africa, coupled with the rapid evangelistic of the population. Modernity is always for the
reformation of the world oddities and misconceptions. Lakunle is portrayed as the civilized antithesis of
Baroka and unilaterally attempts to modernize the community and change its social conventions for no
reason other than the fact that he can. There is a clear cut clash between tradition and modernity.
Lakunle, the village schoolmaster stands for modernity, westernization, newness and progress. Sidi stands
for tradition and beauty and Baroka stands for power, strength, tradition and cunningness. It presents the
conflict between Baroka the lion and Lakunle, the school master. |

AN ANALYSIS OF TELECOM INDUSTRY AND IMPACT OF PRIVATIZATION ON IT |
Author : Savita |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The current paper sheds light on the analysis of the Indian Telecom Industry and the impact of
privatization on it. The telecommunication industry of India is one of the vast and leading industries in the
world connecting different parts of the country through various modes like telephone, radio, TV, satellite
and internet. The telecom Regulatory Authority of India governs this industry by providing a regulatory
framework and favourable environment for its efficient operations. The telecom industry stands as the
second largest in the world due to its rapid advancement and is in cut- throat competition with the
telecom industries of the other developed countries. On the other hand privatisation is the process of
switching the authority from the government to the private sector. Privatization is the process that has
huge impact on the telecom sector in India. Data for the paper is the secondary data which is obtained
from different annual reports of Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and from Google.

THE EXECUTIVE UNDER COALITION GOVERNMENT : AN ANALYSIS |
Author : Ravindra L. Gharel |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :During the era of coalition/minority Government, the prime ministerial Cabinets that had
operated under Nehru after Patel’s death in December 1950, under India Gandhi in the 1970s (excepting
the Janata Party rule), and Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi during the 1980s became a thing of the post.
Instead, a more collective Cabinet system came into existence. The difference between the 1970s and the
80s only was that the Congress state Government especially in the non-Hindi speaking rim-lands. During
the latter half of the 1980s, a more differentiated party systems at the State level dotted by non-Congress
Governments also differentiated configuration of party representation in the Lock Sabha and the Rajya
Sabha. The Congress Governments could manage. By the 1990s Congress and non-Congress coalition
Governments managed to somehow muster majority in the Lok Sabha, but the Rajya Sabha was invariably

Author : Dr. Mahesh Abale and CA Meghana Limaye |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Economic development of a nation needs capital formation. To achieve development plans a high
rate of capital formation is aimed at in all developing countries. To stimulate and guide capital formation,
the growth of capital market is a prerequisite. An efficient capital market helps the investors in getting
information about various investment opportunities making sound investment decisions and to diversify
and reduce risk. Accounting plays a very crucial role in creating and sustaining the level of confidence
needed for the success of capital market.The whole aim of accounting is to keep systematic records of
financial transactions so they can be communicated to the various stakeholders. The way this information
is communicated to the relevant parties is through financial statements.Financial statements’ analysis and
reporting are one of the bedrocks of modern business.The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has issued
Schedule III which laysdown a format for preparation and presentation of financial statements byIndian
companies for financial years commencing on or after 1st April, 2014.This Schedule III has some
significant Conceptual changes such asCurrent/Non-current distinction, primacy to the requirements of
theaccounting standards, etc.Thequalitative characteristics of financial statements mainly
areunderstandability,Relevance, Reliability and Comparability.This paper discusses about the qualitative
characteristic of “comparability” and tries to find out whether Schedule III improves the comparability of
Financial Statements. |

STATUS OF RURAL LABOUR REFORMS IN BIHAR: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS |
Author : Priyanka Kumari and Siddharth Mani Tripathi |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This study was undertaken to identify the constraints in the use of government policy implements
related to unemployment in general as well as the review of condition of rural labour reform in particular
in the state of Bihar. It was observed that the condition of rural labour is not up to mark because, here one
side, the problems faced by the labour class peoples are that Decrease in Cottage Industries and Village
Handicrafts, Uneconomic Holdings, educational backwardness, increase in population, Indebtedness etc.
but the other side rural labour market is undergoing significant changes mainly due to rising employment
opportunities outside agriculture. The real wage rate for farm as well as non-farm rural labour is moving
upwards. The movement of workers outside the agriculture sector was found to be influenced by a complex
set of factors such as the pattern of economic growth, inter-sectoral differences in the wage rate and
worker productivity, government programmes, education, and socio-cultural factors prevailing in rural
India. It was also seen that More than 70 per cent of workforce is engaged in agriculture or other
agricultural pursuits. Faster and inclusive growth needs special attention to the informal economy.
Sustaining high levels of growth is also intertwined with meeting the need of those engaged in informal
economy in terms of credit, skills, technology, marketing and infrastructure etc. The attempts have been
made to suggest various recommendations to over-come these problems.

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :During last two decades, extensive attention has been paid on the management of environmental
pollution caused by hazardous materials. In this study, we chosen three investigated species, Ulva fasciata,
Sargassum hornchuchii and Pterocladia capillacea, which were collected from Abu Qir, Alexandria were
subjected to concentration of 50% of water soluble fractions (WSFs) of crude petroleum oil by varying
exposure time to 2,4 and 6 days. Analyses were performed to study the effect of WSFs of crude petroleum
oil on the contents of amino acids, some enzymes activities and ultrastructure of the investigated algae.
The results indicated that the total amino acids contents decreased significantly (at P < 0.05) in all algal
samples during the exposure experiment. Treatment with WSFsof crude petroleum oil increased the
activity of superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase and catalase of the three treated algal species. The

Abstract :Floods and Cyclones are the most destructional and widely spread disasters among all the Natural
Disasters along the coastal plains of Orissa. It is clearly understood by Looking at disaster events in Orissa
of the last few years, It is evident that Natural Disasters are inevitable and it is almost impossible to fully
recoup the damage caused by the disaster. But it is possible to minimize the potential risk by developing
disaster early warning strategies, preparing and implementing developmental plans to provide resilience
to such disasters and helping in rehabilitation and post disaster reduction. Some of the lessons learned in
the last several years given clear indication that the availability, management and presentation of GeoInformation plays a crucial role in disaster management. Today Geographical Information System (GIS)
takes an important role for Intelligent mapping through analysis and data sharing which is vital for
preparing pre-plans to reduce the problems and better monitoring when disaster takes place and post
disaster management. The analytical capabilities of GIS support all aspects of disaster. In this paper an
attempt has been taken to delineate the vulnerable Flood prone areas and Cyclone prone areas with its
risk assessment basing on secondary source data and finally with some suggested measures on its pre-plan
preparation to minimize the problems of Ganjam District in GIS Environment.

education, to establish the health care providers are essential to promote better utilisation and by
improving the economic growth and quality of life in the villages particularly among the rural poor and
also among those who are settled at the remote places away from the access of the physical infrastructure.
It is very essential to strengthen infrastructure facilities such as transportation, communication, health and so
on among the rural people. In fact, Indias high rate of economic growth will be difficult to sustain if
infrastructure development does not increase and keep pace with the demand for the same. This study entitled
'The Physical infrastructures of Rural People in Kalvarayan Hills Block”, helps to find out the situation of
rural infrastructure, the status of living conditions of rural people in the study area and the existence of
relationship and impact between infrastructure development and rural livelihoods of Kalvarayan hills
block. As this is one of the underdeveloped blocks in Tamilnadu, in Villupuram District, one-third of
population live under absolute poverty. Kalvarayan Hills is landlocked and bordered by three districts
Salem, Villupuram and Thiruvannamalai. In the block most of the territory remains as high mountains and
a little small part of the area is terrain. Because of its landlocked nature and formation of territory, the

HORTICULTURAL PRODUCTION AND MARKETING EFFICIENCY IN INDIA: A VIEW |
Author : K. Kesavalu, R. Asokan and A. Abdul Raheem |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :In India, agriculture contributes around 21 per cent to the gross domestic product while providing
employment to around 60 per cent of country’s work force. Agricultural development in 21st century faces
some unprecedented challenges in the face of steady growth in the world population, which is expected to
reach 10 billion marks in 2020.and with nearly 800 million people not having enough food to eat. In India,
vegetables occupy an important position among various food crops from the view point of healthy diet
since a sizable population of the country consists of vegetarians. India is world’s largest producer of
vegetables after China, and grows a wide range of vegetable crops under varied production systems.
Vegetable production is no exception to this rising trend in input use. The increasing awareness among the
people regarding healthy diet and importance of vegetables has been responsible for augmentation of
vegetable production in the country over the years. This increase in vegetable production has been possible
due to the expansion of irrigation facilities and wide use of other inputs like seeds, fertilizers, pesticides etc.
For example, vegetables alone consume 12.13 per cent of insecticides used in production systems in the
country. Therefore, this paper examines the changing scenario of horticultural production and marketing
in India. |

THE DEEPENING SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL CRISES IN POST-SADDAM IRAQ |
Author : Tenzin Nakdon |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The US-led “Operation Iraqi Freedom” which began on 19 March 2003 to remove Saddam from
power, changed the entire history of Iraq.The US invasionwas set to change the status quo of Iraq and it
opened the Pandora’s Box of socio-economic and political crises in Iraq. The major objectives claimed by
the US while invading Iraq and after were: to remove Saddam from power, to unearth the Iraq’s possession
of Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD), and to establish democratic form of government. While it
succeeded in removing the Ba’thist regime of Saddam, but at the same time it failed to find WMD in Iraq.
Further, the US is also wary of claiming that Iraq has become a democratic state because today Iraq is far
from real democracy. One of the major reasons behind this was that many of Iraqi intellectuals and secular
middle class fled the country, who could have played a major role in forming an inclusive government.The
case of Iraq in unfolding its political transition and regime change has been very different from other
countries. |

WOMEN ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN KERALA –A FUTURE PERSPECTIVE |
Author : Dr. P. Geetha and Priya S. |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Entrepreneurship development is inevitable for the economic growth of any country. It leads to
rapid industrialization, which is much indeed in a state like Kerala, where the educated unemployment is
in severe form. As we know, Kerala is a state in southern India, which has a unique development experience
of its own. This state has achieved improvements in indicators of social development, even though the
state’s per-capita income is low in comparison to them. This is termed as a paradox to the existing
understanding of economic development. In Kerala, the economy is experiencing a substantial shift of
employment from the primary sector to the tertiary sector. It is mainly due to the factors like low wage
rate which was prevailed in the primary sector, mechanization in agriculture, increasing educational
standers of the people, and changing attitude towards employment of the people..etc. From the decade of
1970s onwards, there has been an increase in the labor supply particularly due to the increase in the
number of women seeking employment. Though the supply of job seekers increased, the demand for them
did not increase, which resulted in rapid rise in unemployment in Kerala. So the present study focused to
understand the status of women in Kerala along with initiative taken for women entrepreneurship
development. |

SWOT ANALYSIS OF DEEN DAYAL UPADAYAYA GRAMEEN KAUSHLYA YOJANA - A SKILL DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE |
Author : Dr. Subathra and Mr. A. Srikanth |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :According to the census 2011, India has 55 million potential workers between the age group of 15
– 35 years in rural areas. At the same time, the world is expected to face a shortage of 57 million workers
by 2020. This presents a historic opportunity for India to transform its demographic surplus in to a
demographic dividend. The Ministry of rural development implements DDU GKY to drive this national
agenda for inclusive growth, by developing skills and productive capacity of the rural youth from poor
families. There are several challenges preventing India’s rural poor from competing in the modern market,
such as the lack of formal education and marketable skills. DDU GKY bridges this gap by funding training
projects benchmarked to global standards, with an emphasis on placement, retention, career progression
and foreign placement. So the present paper gives an emphasis on SWOT analysis of DDUGKY in India. |

CLARIFICATION OF SUGAR SOLUTION USING IONIC LIQUID TREATED BIOMASS |
Author : Manpreet Kaur and Vishwas Rampal |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The color removal of raw sugar is important step of sugar manufacturing. In addition to current
methods of color removal, our objective is to provide alternative, better and more efficient method for the
removal of unwanted color, turbidity and suspended solids. As cationic polymers are used as good
decolorizing agents, attempts have been made by grafting laboratory made cationic liquids on certain
plant residues such as rice husk, and passing the raw sugar solution through the beds of this grafted rice
husk. Rice husk was chemically treated to delignify and then it was stirred with Cationic Imidazole and
Pyridine ionic liquids for fixing the ionic liquids to the rice husk. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was
used to measure the porous structure of rice husk after delignification and after grafting the ionic liquid.
The decolorization done by phosphotation followed by the grafted rice husk was around 95%. It was better
than an combination with ion exchange which is 90%. The decolorization shown by PAC and GAC is very
poor comparativelywhich shows that adsorption process fails to decolorize sugar solutions with a high
degree of efficiency. .This treated rice husk was used for the removal of color from raw sugar by varying its
concentration from 0.25 to 1 gm in 50 cc of 50 brix solution for 30 min. The maximum color removal was
in range of 90 % using only 1 gm of the treated rice husk. During decolorization there was no change in
the polarization of melt. As these cationic liquids contain N, CHN (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen) analysis of
untreated and treated sugar solutions with grafted rice husk was done to check for cationic liquid leakage
and N present in the solution was found to be absent. Thus this method doesn’t involve the use of any direct
addition of chemicals to the melt as in traditional methods and is eco-friendly and just involved the use of
biomass which is readily available, cheap, and economically attractive. |

reconstruction without damage being done to historical fact. The narrative deals mainly with Bomma, a
low-class Indian, bought by a Jewish merchant who comes to India in 1130 AD and lives in Mangalore for
seventeen years, before returning to Egypt. This turns into a travelogue when Ghosh recounts how he came
across a reference to Bomma, when be gone to England to do research in social anthropology. He actually
goes to Egypt to investigate the matter, and he records his encounter with Egyptians, which generate much
humour, arising mainly out of cultural misunderstanding. The narrative moves back and forth from India

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN INDIA WITH A SPECIAL REFERENCE TO PUDUKKOTTAI DISTRICT – A REALITY CHECK |
Author : R. Radha |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Violence against women is an international phenomenon. In India, rape, sexual assault, physical
and verbal abuse become especially pervasive given their strongly roots in India’s history and societal
norms. The issue of violence against women grows increasingly urgent, statistics illustrating that violence
against women is on the rise. Between the years of 2001 and 2011, the number of crimes against women
has risen an alarming 59%, the number one crime being rape. Women in India have always been issues of
concern. The folks and society at large consider women as second class citizens. Though we admire and
preach them in the name of Durga, Saraswati, Parvati and Kali, we also abuse her in the form of Childmarriage, Female infanticide, Sati, Sexual harassment, Dowry and so on. The status of women in India has
been subject to many great alterations over the past few millenniums. From a largely unknown status in
ancient times through the low points of the medieval period, to the promotion of equal rights by many
reformers, the history of women in India has been lively. The status of women has varied in different time
periods. Savagery against ladies is incompletely an aftereffect of sexual orientation relations that expect
men to be better than ladies. Given the subordinate status of ladies, a lot of sexual orientation brutality is
viewed as ordinary and appreciates social assent. Appearances of viciousness incorporate physical
hostility, for example, blows of shifting power, consumes, endeavored hanging, sexual maltreatment and
assault, mental savagery through put-down, mortification, pressure, extortion, monetary or passionate
dangers, and command over discourse and activities. In extraordinary, yet not obscure cases, passing is the
outcome. These outflows of savagery occur in a man-lady relationship inside the family, state and society.
Generally, household animosity towards ladies and young ladies, because of different reasons stay covered
up. Social and social variables are interlinked with the improvement and spread of savage conduct. |

RESERVATION IN EDUCATION OF SC WOMEN: A STUDY OF RURAL INDIA |
Author : Manju Rani and Dr. Sanjay Kumar |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Education is a necessary element of human life. But from early ages, due to gender discrimination,
women are less preferred to get even basic education for the survival. With respect to India, women are
always considered to remain in home and confine themselves to do household chores and take care of
family and children. Though this thinking of people is changing with the development of society, still
gender discrimination prevails in many parts of India. Specifically, in rural India, women are still
remaining backward. They are unable to get proper education because people think that spending money
on the education of women is waste. And adding to it, if women belong to SC category, imparting education
is no more than a dream in rural India. Thus, reservation has become necessity for women education,
especially for women belonging to SC category in rural India. With reservation, women can get a bundle of
benefits, right from paying low fees to getting good remuneration. The study undertaken deals with the
importance of providing reservation to the rural women belonging to SC category. This will be helpful for
the academicians as well as the officials associated with education department in India.

needs to be humane and reflective towards his/her profession for excellent output, which is possible only
when they are trained so. Hence, the teacher education programme should have all the practical, content,
contextual, pedagogical, personal and reflective features to formulate student-teachers’ behavior quality
oriented towards humane and reflective practices.
Thus, this research paper is an attempt to analyze the concept of Humane Reflective Teacher, their
characteristics, needs and productive suggestions in the light of teacher education for excellent
consequences.

ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION AND MARGINALISED SECTIONS OF THE SOCIETY: INFLUENCING FACTORS AND CHALLENGES |
Author : Dr. B. Mohan Kumar |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Marginality is an experience that affects millions of people throughout the world, as well as in our
country. People who are marginalized have relatively little control over their lives, and the resources
available to them. This results in making them handicapped in accessing benefits from the society and
delving contribution to society. A vicious circle is set up whereby there is lack of positive and supportive
relationships. They are prevented from participating in local life, which in turn leads to further isolation.
This has a tremendous impact on the development of human beings, as well as on society at large. As the
objective of development is to create an enabling environment for people to enjoy a productive, healthy,
and creative life through education, it is important to address the issue of marginalisation. Development is
always broadly conceived in terms of mass participation of people of different sections. Hundreds of
millions of children live in slums, many deprived to basic services. Slums are highly unhygienic and disease
prone. These areas are also breeding ground for various anti-social activities like crime, theft, burglary
and drug-addiction and so on. This leads to different kind of problems in children living in urban slum.
Many of these problems are of transient nature and are not even noticed or sometimes neglected or
unaccompanied. The most important problem of them is access to Education in General and Higher
Education in Specific terms. The problems of access to education faced by slum dwellers are fundamental.
There are substantial areas lacking access to education. Urban migration is exacerbating the problem.
About 33% of the urban population of developing countries resides in slum. The proportion of students
who never entered Higher Education in urban is double that of the rural people. Hence this study aims to
find out the problems of the slum students in accessing Higher Education among the marginalised group.
Normative survey method was adopted with face to face interaction and Educational Enrolment Senses
also taken as secondary data. Cluster sampling method followed for the sampling. The sample population
are slum Households, Higher Secondary students, Higher Education Students and NGO’s involving in the
slum development. Tools to be used are Observation Schedule, Interview Schedule for slum households, and
Questionnaire on Problem to access Higher Education for students of slum, and Awareness Model which is
prepared and standardized by the investigator and it is validated by the experts. For data analyses Mixed
Method found more appropriate for this study i.e., Qualitative and Quantitative analyses. Hence the
competitiveness of the country depends on the productivity of this work force. Thus there is a strong
Economic Growth argument, as well as a Social Justice argument and a Human argument, not to neglect
education for the urban poor. The result of this survey can be used to understand the Problems of
marginalised group with special reference to Slum Dwellers in Accessing the Higher Education.

A CASE STUDY OF READING INTERESTS OF BOYS & GIRLS AT SECONDARY LEVEL |
Author : Mrs. Chanchal Yadav |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :A teacher’s attitude is a very significant feature in improving a student’s love for reading.
Wherever possible, opportunities should be given to read for enjoyment in the classroom. This world
provides each pupil an excellent opportunity to exploit his need to improve his reading skill. Reading
becomes a habit when love to read and read when we have the free time. All educational activities are built
upon Interests. Almost whole of life is a long continuous activity in the line of one’s own interest. Whatever
one does, he does for some kind of interest in it. An interesting work or activity means a lifeless burden.
Thus interest is of great significance in education. One of the major difficulties in any scientific study of a
commonly practiced process like reading is the lack of an adequate vocabulary. |

RE-VISITING THE DISCOURSE OF ABSTRACTION WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO AS HOW IT IS PLACED IN MODERN ART IN INDIA |
Author : Dr. Waseem Mushtaq |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :For centuries, the artist was thought of someone who holds a mirror up to nature. Informed by the
imitation theories the seminal feature of art was based on the principle of representation, which amounted
to the objective depiction of the outward appearances of the things or objects or the external world that
we inhabit. The authority of imitation theory guided the course of art right from Plato’s concept of mimesis
up to the impressionist credo “we paint what we see’. By late nineteenth and early twentieth century, on
the one hand satiated with the imitation theory because camera can do better, and on the other hand
confronted with the impermanence of the world outside and uncertainty of life in the midst of post-war
crisis, artists were wanted to see the world afresh. Artists, seemingly, turned their back towards the
objective outside world of appearances and, instead, plunged inwards into the world of subjectivity.
Abstraction not only dominated as a general tendency of modernismin the west but also had a discernible
presence in other non-western cultures. And whether this presence was received as an influence or impact
or inspiration or difference remains to be a matter of contestation that the present paper tries to
address.The present paper aims to re-visit the discourse of abstraction in the western modernism and
locate its position in the modern art in India. |

A STUDY ON INFRASTRUCTURAL FACILITIES IN SELECTED NON-PROFESSIONAL COLLEGES OF YOGI VEMANA UNIVERSITY |
Author : N. Raghunadha Reddy and S. Gopal Reddy |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :It is beyond doubt that physical education holds a considerably significant place in our modern
educational system. Now-a-days, education of a student is deemed incomplete without proper physical
training because such a student has unifacet and unsound personality. That is the reason that special
efforts are being made to develop and popularize the physical education along with other factors of
education-teaching methods, aim of education, syllabus, text books and education etc. Physical activities
are distinct, yet inseparable part of human nature and physical education programmes are organized in
our schools with a view of nurturing and developing this basic human nature. Physical Education is rightly
recognized as an integral part of education. The existence of man is primarily physical. The first lessons
that a human child learns are lessons of physical activity. No education, so ever ideal and exalted in its
objectives, is complete without emphasis on motor activities. The human body is a sacred gift of Nature.
The growth, development and efficiency largely depends upon the quantity and quality of motor activities
it performs. |

UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS- RIGHTS OF WOMEN IN ISLAM |
Author : Dr. Neelam Ramesh Reddy Dr. R.Raghurama Murthy |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The concept of human rights incorporates in itself the element of Universality. The notion of
human rights becomes meaningless if we fail to apply it to all the human beings on an equal platform.
However cultural diversity is challenging the universalism of human rights. The religious fundamentalists
and the cultural relativists are rejecting the Universalist theory of human rights by branding them as
western values. They see it as the cultural imperialism of the west. On the other hand advocates of the
doctrine of universal human rights argue that certain rights are inherent in all the individuals irrespective
of their cultural and religious background. |

POSTCOLONIAL DISABILITY: LIMINALITY, MIMICRY AND HYBRIDITY IN SALMAN RUSHDIE’S MIDNIGHT’S CHILDREN |
Author : Jayakrishnan M. and Dr. C. Shanmugasundaram |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Disability and post-colonialism are two significant, and interlinked, discourses in the social
formation of the nation and of those bodies deemed worthy of social responsibility rights. The aim of the
present paper is to examine the ways in which Rushdie depicts physical and mental abnormality in
Midnight’s Children. As a literary celebrity and public intellectual with significant influence over the way in
which western media frames discussions about the East, Rushdie’s modes of representation deserve critical
scrutiny. Midnight’s Children remain in the top of the bestseller lists for weeks after its publication, but it is
also credited with inspiring and enabling the success of several other prominent, contemporary South
Asian authors. Its success ultimately provided Rushdie with a platform from which to comment on
contemporary events, culture, and politics. The present study tries to envisage Rushdie’s politics of
representation, reevaluating the early works that made him famous and analyzing his more recent works
for comparison as well as to examine Rushdie’s position as a contemporary author and public intellectual. |

Author : Dr. Anjali Kumari |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Distance mode of learning is one of the highly acceptable approaches to disseminate knowledge
and skills in different professional field including teacher education. Its’ flexible and ‘reach at the job’
nature make it special. This is not to deny that full-fledged infrastructures along with adequate
number of competent human resources are requisite to maintain the quality in distance learning.
Diploma in Elementary Education was a major intervention in the field of teacher education which chose
distance learning mode for providing professional training to untrained teachers. To maintain the quality
in this programme, NCTE fixed some measures in the context of availability of physical and human
resources at study centers. This study intended to know whether those advices were followed by the
planner at the time of establishment of study centers or not. For this study 15 study centers were visited
and the coordinators of those selected study centers were interviewed. Along with this, Check list was
used to evaluate the presence of recommended resources. Opinions of stakeholders were also
incorporated to increase the validity of result. The result revealed that most of the study centers had so
many deficiencies while only DIETs (identified study centers) were fulfilled the required resources at
some extent. Apart from this all the identified study centers had prescribed number of academic and
nonacademic staffs however they had no longer experience of distance learning. Meanwhile most of the
study centers faced the shortage of resource persons in second phase of training. Stakeholders were also
said about the shortage of necessary resources. So for the betterment of the programme and to
maintain the quality it is suggested that planner must be ensured the availability of all the mandatory
resources before the commencement of the programme. |

PAINTING A WOMEN’S WORLD IN LISA SEE’S SNOWFLOWER AND THE SECRET FAN |
Author : Niranjana Marian George |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The disadvantaged position of women in society has always been asserted by some philosophical
interpretation. Women’s inferior status has been construed based on the argument that both men and
women are essentially different and this contrast determines the lower status of the female sex. Whether
western or eastern, philosophers and their teachings have most often been antagonistic to ‘the second sex’.
Confucianism proved to be one such constraining religious doctrine for women. As inspired by the
teachings of Confucius, Chinese men discussed gender in terms of yin and yang: women were yin i.e. soft
and submissive whereas men were yang, who were tough and dominating. This conceptualization of
differences between men and women naturalised the gender roles and the artificially created social
relations. This paper attempts to examine how the Chinese-American writer Lisa See successfully draws the
picture of imperial China and the oppressed state of women there. See not only endeavours a realistic
portrayal of the sorrowful history of women but also tries to bring forth the mysterious realms of female
friendships and their resistance to the imperious men around them. |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Financial inclusion of all the sections of the society has been a challenge for the Indian
government. Policy decisions regarding financial inclusion are focused on inclusive growth and the
principle of equity. Achieving comprehensive financial inclusion goal is not an easily accessible destination

services provided by the commercial banks in Uttar Pradesh, India. The present research study addressed
the issue and identified the most important problems & challenges faced by commercial banks in
practising financial inclusion from consumers as well as bankers’ perspectives. A survey was conducted on

THE THEME OF PERPETUAL QUEST FOR IDENTITY IN SAMUEL SELVON’S A BRIGHTER SUN |
Author : M. Jafarullah Baig and Prof. G. Gulam Tariq |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :In this article, an attempt has been made to explore the theme of perpetual quest for identity in
Samuel Selvon’s novel “A Brighter Sun.” Identity is regarded as never fixed or constant, especially, in the
postcolonial Caribbean society. It is fluid and constantly in the process of evolving with the passage of
time (Stuart Hall, 110). Similarly, Tiger, the young protagonist of “A Brighter Sun” goes in search of
prosperity, awareness and to top it all establish his identity in the society. He leaves Chaguanas, and
suburban Barataria at the age of 16 along with his child bride, Urmilla. He begins his journey of life very
early with meagre resources like a cow, a mud hut and 200 dollars. In the beginning of the novel, Tiger is
naive, illiterate and innocent. He represents the Caribbean man, who is a victim of colonization, rather
than a creator of history. Selvon portrays Tiger as overcoming all the obstacles that come his way and
taking challenges head-on with the help of awareness, knowledge, wisdom and experience. He also depicts
the West Indian man in the form of Tiger as a brighter sun, who eventually goes on to achieve a lot and
thereby establishes his identity as an enlightened and humble person. In “A Brighter Sun”, Selvon want s to
give a new identity to Tiger, who represents the Caribbean man, through the process of Creolization.
Creolization is the amalgamation of many cultures and traditions and it is also regarded as ‘new ethnicity.’
Selvon himself admits : “I was creolized from an early age, which is a good thing, in my opinion as a mixing
of tradition makes for a more harmonious world.” (Michel Fabre, “Critical Perspectives on Samuel Selvon”,
70) Tiger finally reaches a stage, where he looks forward to politically independent and racially
integrated Trinidad. He establishes his identity through masculinity, self education, knowledge and
wisdom. |

TUNEL ASSAY: AN EFFECTIVE CONVENTIONAL WAY TO EVALUATE DNA DAMAGE |
Author : Debarati Das |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, plays an important role in normal development and
homeostasis of adult tissues. Apoptosis has also been linked to many disease states, including cancer. One
of the biochemical hallmarks of apoptosis is the generation of free 3-hydroxyl termini on DNA via cleavage
of chromatin into single and multiple oligonuleosome-length fragments. The TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin
nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay exploits this biochemical hallmark by labeling the exposed termini of
DNA, thereby enabling visualization of nuclei containing fragmented DNA. This article outlines a
conventional method for in situ TUNEL staining of cultured cells and tissue sections which is highly
effective in analysing PCD in broad range of test sections. |

Author : M. Jafarullah Baig and Prof. G. Gulam Tariq |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This article endeavours to study the attempt made by Samuel Selvon to portray the theme of
homecoming in his novel Turn Again Tiger. The theme of homecoming or tracing the roots is one of the
important themes in the postcolonial Caribbean literature. In Turn Again Tiger, Selvon highlights Tiger’s
need to reconcile himself with his peasant roots in order to understand his present situation. This novel
begins with Tiger in dilemma, both attracted and disgusted to his unpleasant past i.e., the experience of
Cane, where his Caribbean community has shed lot of sweat, blood and tears. Tiger, eventually, returns to
his peasant roots which is completely opposed to the stand taken by him in A Brighter Sun, which is a
sequel to Turn Again Tiger. Trinidad is t he background of the story of Tiger who returns to the canefields
of Five Rivers to help his father to manage an experimental cane project, keeping aside his experience,
knowledge and wisdom acquired in Barataria. He even sacrificed his political ambitions to return to his
roots in order to confront his past and also to set right the equation. He, in fact, wants to challenge the
persisting ghost of colonialism, which is the root cause of all the evils that plague his Caribbean society.
By working along with other cane workers, Tiger comes to understand his own current position and the
world around him in a better way. |

Abstract :The concept of empowerment is defined as the process by which women take control and
ownership of their choices. The core elements of empowerment have been defined as agency (the ability to
define one’s goals and act upon them), awareness of gendered power structures, self-esteem, and selfconfidence (Kabeer, 2001). Empowerment can take place at a hierarchy of different levels – individual,
household, community and societal and is facilitated by providing encouraging factors (e.g. exposure to
new activities, which can build capacities) and removing inhibiting factors (e.g. lack of resources and
skills). In this connection various factors like economic status, social awareness, leadership quality and
micro finance etc., play an effective role for promoting women empowerment through Self Help Groups

emphasis on some or other values, e.g., the profession of businessmen needs the persons having strong
“economic” or “utilitarian values”, the social-workers’ profession, lay emphasis on high ‘social values’, the

EARLY STAGE DETECTION OF BREAST TUMOUR BY MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY |
Author : Dr. Rashmi Rekha |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The detection of formation of breast tumour in the early stage can be made available by
application of microwave technology. The technique presented is easy to understand and cost effective,
having no any side effect. The dielectric property of alienated part is changed due to hydration. The back
scattering of ultra wide band wave increases appreciably which makes possible early stage breast tumour
detection. Breast phantoms and tumours may be created by varying the dielectric permittivity of materials
used in software. Findings are presented using the simulated results obtained.
