Job stress is a universal phenomenon which is part of mankind’s work environment. It is widely viewed as a product of mismatch between the individual and his/her physical or social environment. When the level of stress exceeds the optimal level, it has the potential to be harmful and damaging to the individual.

In India, the word ‘civil service’ is said to have originated during the days of the government of the East India Company (sometime between 1600 and 1858). The word ‘civil service’ was used to designate the British administration in India. The British East India Company called its employees working on the civil side ‘servants’ in contrast to those employed for military and naval duties. This paper attempts to trace the evolution of the Indian Civil Service (ICS), which, with Indian independence, was replaced by the Indian Administrative Service (IAS). In doing so, it attempts to sketch the entire process of gradual but certain Indianization of the ICS during the last uncertain days of the British Raj in India. This paper shows that although after the Second World War in 1942, native Indian men entered the ICS in significant numbers, the environment in the ICS till the very end was very much alien to the inclusion of native men in the colonial bureaucracy. Moreover, even though the process of Indianization of the Civil Services led to the entry of some upper class and upper caste men into this prestigious body, women were, in general, relegated to the role of ‘unofficial representatives of the Raj’.

The modern man enjoys several privileges and facilities compared to the primitive one, his search in life. Letters is concerned primarily with letters, old letters, new letters, stolen letters, secret letters, public letters, false letters, unread letters, letters within letters, letters of the alphabet, letters as the state of art, letters as opposed to pictures, and letters as history, true and false. It is a novel about novel-making, letters on Letters on letters. Letters are both the subject matter and narrative materials which seem to create themselves out of the chaos of history and the arts. As the artist-creator of his world, Barth is behind every action, meeting, coincidence and character in his novel. The previous six books all connect because Barth sees their interrelatedness and makes them all into his world. Like the narrator of an epistolary novel or a god, Barth pulls all the strings. As the ruler and creator of his world, Barth makes his characters in his own image, clones or pieces of himself. The Author is part Proteus, part Zeus, and part Barth in his mythic role as archetypal artist/creator.

Locating the term quality in educational discourse is now a universal concern today. The belief that quality goes with privilege is clearly irreconcilable with vision of participatory democracy that India upholds and practices in the political sphere. According to the World Bank lack of quality is a major problem in many education systems. The quality of education is poor at all levels in low- and middle-income countries. Students in developing countries have a mean level of achievement below that in industrial countries, and their performance shows a much greater variance around the mean.” Whether this problem has increased or not is difficult to judge, but it is enough to notice that there is a huge need to improve quality in education in many countries. The researcher has tried to find out the gap between the key functions of the School Management Committees that are attributed theoretically to enhance schoolquality like Making School Development Plan (SDP) as per the RTE guidelines/norms ; management of school; Supervising and supporting implementation of SDP; Supervision/monitoring of finance, management, academic progress, distribution of entitlements & other functions; Ensuring accountability and transparency in the system through the social audit mechanism; Keeping proper accounts of the fund available and sharing its deployment; Creating and maintaining an educational database; Coordinating with the local authority, generating funds from other sources for development of schools; Monitoring academic progress of the children; and the functioning of school management systems that exist in reality! The study has considered the School Managing Committee members and the teaching staff of schools in urban and rural areas of Greater Mumbai and Thane. The study also considers the types of school boards, gender, teaching experience and educational qualification of the participants in enhancing quality in schools. The researcher has used ttest and ANOVA to test the null hypotheses framed in the study and has found significant differences in the functioning of School Management Committees in the enhancement of quality education on the basis of types of school boards, geographical areas, teaching experience and educational qualifications overall.

State is one of the significant predetermined factors in the context of women empowerment. Taking other parameters constant, this factor alone has the capacity to decide the fate of her women citizens both in progressive or regressive manner like Turkey in Kamal Pasha regime or the modern Saudi or Iran in conservative regime. However, the constitution of India neither discriminate its womenfolk on any grounds of law (if there is some positive discrimination like reservation of seats for women in panchayat election) nor it supports any differentiating practices in the name of tradition or else but the statistics reflecting the status of women is alarming and we are far behind the developed regions in all sense and our government programmes are sometimes not at all inclusive, particularly in the context of gender.

Vegetables provide vital protective nutrients like vitamins and minerals in the balanced diet of human beings. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no human being in the world who does not consume vegetables. Besides, vegetable cultivation is more labour intensive and remunerative for small and marginal farmers. Despite its utility, vegetable cultivation, consumption and marketing in India remain a relatively neglected aspect. Though India is the second largest country in terms of production of vegetables in the world, the average per capita intake of vegetables is much below the requirements of a balanced diet. This is mainly due to severe handicaps associated with production and marketing of vegetables. The production problems include low productivity, traditional cultivation practices etc.

A split ring resonator based metamaterial structure is designed, simulated, and investigated as a biosensor in this article for efficient detection of breast cancer. In our proposed resonator structure we can see a remarkable high shifting in resonance frequencies peaks shows us to detect the normal and various cancer cells and also shows us the low shifting between cells. We have obtained the resonance frequency value as 0.601THz with an attenuation of -30dB from the simulated results which allow us to detect cancer cell in terahertz range and obtained the sensitivity of the biosensor of the biological molecules equal to 0.058 THz (58 GHz) and along with this the specific absorption rate is obtained in the THz region by means of extensive finite element method (FEM) using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.3. By using mathematical interpolation based of fitting methods of the 4th and 5th order the variation of thickness of various breast cancer cells as function of resonance frequencies peaks were plotted by using Matlab software. In this paper, we have also introduced Nicolson Ross-Weir method (NRW) method to achieve negative electrical permittivity and negative magnetic permeability in a split ring resonator based metamaterial in the THz region .Our simulation outcomes indicate a remarkable high sensor functionality of the SRR biosensor devices. Finally, we showed that the metamaterial based split ring resonator sensor possesses much higher sensitivity to detect cancer cells for cancer diagnosis.

The Faust Legend proves to be a very popular theme among creative writers for centuries. Its universal appeal leads it to lend itself to an abundance of interpretations; as a result, it does not only survive as a well-known legend capturing the popular imagination for more than four centuries, but also has undergone generic and thematic transformations many a time. Writers of different epochs across all geographical boundaries have tried their hands to re-write the same story from their own different perspectives and presented it in many different formats. Every such time the story thus in a way has been re-created. Whenever, it is thus re-written, what we get is quite obviously not the same thing as the old legend from the sixteenth century; rather we are then presented with what one may call a kind of ‘ palimpsest ‘, a new writing superimposed on the (partly) effaced impression of the previous one(s). Naturally such a process always leads to create layers of writing, where the signification of the topmost layer always becomes bound to include within it the effect of the erased writing(s).

The CSSs are implemented to achieve social objectives like poverty reduction, improving health services, raising food production etc. It is in this context that the present study is undertaken to measure and find out the significant differences to identify the awareness of the new schemes of the union government among female arts and science college students in Madurai district in terms of certain independent variables. Data were collected from 300 students. The collected data were subjected to ‘t-test’ between the means of large independent variables. Hypotheses were verified, meaningful conclusions drawn and educational implications worked out. Though this research is a small step it is expected that it would make a significant contribution to the economic well being of the students.

Initially, the British government was creating the institution for its own purpose. Later on apart from transforming cantonment hospitals into dispensaries, new instructions of care and institutions of imparting theatrical medical education and training was introduced at regular intervals. Most of the institutions both medical schools and hospitals came in Madras city to serve European people living in the city. Penetration of medical institutions into non-urban areas to serve local people was due to the public demand and to deal with epidemics but the government did not spread them to rural areas voluntarily. Local rich and intelligentsia made initiations for which the government provided grants, experts and instruments. In this article Researcher examine the origin and development of Madras Medical School, Royapuram Medical School and Prince Wales Medical School etc. to understand the process of the institutionalization of medical education in this presidency.

Mental health is the base for the well-being and effective functioning of an individual. Anyone of any gender, race or age can be affected by mental health disorders. However, women are more likely to have mental health problems than men. Particularly with young women are at high risk. So,mental health is more important especially to women as they do multitasking in the family. Even in modern India, women are often burdened by the responsibilities of home and work place simultaneously. Thus, carrying out duties and responsibilities both at home and workplace overstrains a woman, thereby leading to various psychological problems like role conflict, job strain, mental fatigue, stress, anxiety, frustration, depression, anger, phobias, and other social and emotional distress.

Political instability is considered as one of the serious problem worldwide, especially in the developing countries. Political stability is essential for the long run and smooth economic growth. There is a positive relationship between Political stability and economic growth. The conflict, unrest or any kind violence are adversely affecting the gross domestic production, employment and public & private investment. Present study is about Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). The geographical conflict of this state is considered nowadays a long-standing and serious issue in the present world between two neighboring countries India and Pakistan. Equally, both the countries are enjoying their power practices on the land of Jammu and Kashmir and lead the paradise in hell. Due to this long pending dispute the social, economic and political conditions of the state is very poor. An attempt has been made to examine the affect of political instability on the small scale industrial sector of two districts Pulwama and Anantnag of the J&K. 200 small scale industrial units were selected for the study randomly and questionnaire was designed accordingly. After completion of the primary study, the responses of the respondents were collated and edit. The final data were analyzed and interpreted; finally results were drawn on. It was found that political instability has become one of the serious problem from production to marketing for small scale industrial sector. It was also found that the zeal of entrepreneurship is also discouraging, entrepreneurs are ready to shut down there units or shift them in peaceful location, that will impact the economy of state very badly.

There are 32 National parks, 92 Wild life sanctuaries located in 11 Himalayan states of India. Uttarakhand is the northern Himalayan state of India, where 6 National parks and 6 wild life sanctuaries established by the national and international organizations. These sites are well preserved, most beautiful attractions nationally and internationally among the tourists community for their amusement, knowledge and awareness regarding conservation of natural heritage. Rajaji National Park is one of the famous for his natural beauty, the prosperous diversity of flora, fauna and topographic landscape, which is located between Latitude 29° 56 ’ 40” N to 30° 20’ N and Longitude790 80’ E to 780 01’ 15” E in Pauri, Haridwar and Dehradun districts. It occupies around 820 Km2 areas in 9 forest ranges and situated in the lower Shiwalik range, foothills and Gangetic plains. Terrain relief of the park ranges between 271 m to 1381 m. from mean sea level. Shiwalik range passes from east to west from the park and River Ganga flows from North South and cut Shiwalik range in North East part of the park and makes flood plain in Southern part of Park. In the present study various aspects of the park such as topography, vegetative cover and Species, fauna species, Climate, accommodation facilities, transport and tourist attractions have been described using Remote Sensing and GIS geospatial tools and techniques. The annual tourist flow of the park has been statically evaluated to show the potential as an economic resource and the growing interest of tourists towards this sector of the state economy

Segundo a Federação das Indústrias do Estado de Rondônia (FIERO) em Rondônia o setor florestal madeireiro possui grande relevância econômica e social, sendo responsável pela geração de grande número de empregos. Porém, embora sejam consideradas importantes para a economia, estas empresas convivem com alta prevalência de acidentes de trabalho. Desta forma o presente trabalho teve como objetivo identificar quais os gastos com pessoal e custos provocados pelos acidentes de trabalho dentro de uma empresa do setor madeireiro. Para tanto, foi realizado uma pesquisa bibliográfica, estudo de caso, utilizando da coleta de dados por meio de análise documental e entrevista com o proprietário da madeireira pesquisada, onde o período abordado foram os anos de 2010 a 2013. Como resultado foi identificado que o perfil predominante dos funcionários da empresa bem como dos trabalhadores acidentados, tratam-se de homens com baixo índice de escolaridade e em sua maioria de 21 a 30 anos de idade. Além disso, foi possível apurar o total dos gastos com pessoal e os custos relativos aos acidentes de trabalho ao longo dos 4 anos pesquisados, observando que estes custos com acidente de trabalho representaram 8,63% do total gasto com pessoal, e que o montante gasto com pessoal representou 19,96 % do valor do faturamento da empresa, um percentual acima do identificado em industrias do mesmo segmento a nível nacional, o que reforça a importância da empresa estar atenta ao controle e gestão dos custos, como forma de minimizar o impacto desses valores sobre sua rentabilidade.

Contemporary society which we look at as modern society is inconceivable without adherence to the principle and practice of human rights. Those societies which do not respect and practice human rights receive international criticism and condemnation and lose image in the comity of nations. They are not modern, even though they exist in the contemporary era. Human rights and contemporary society (or in other words, modern society) share a very close relationship. This is not to suggest that human rights violations do not take place in modern societies. In fact, they do and they have institutional mechanisms to deal with them but what is argued and highlighted in this paper is that without a basic belief and faith in the principle and practice of human rights, modern societies cannot claim to be modern.

The present study attempted to explore the effect of Resilience and Neuroticism on Cognitive coping style of Medical professionals. A sample of 160 medical professionals (80 male and 80 female) were taken from 5 government hospitals of Uttarakhand and 4 private hospitals of Uttar Pradesh. The age ranges from 25 to 35 years. Analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. Results indicated that the low neuroticism independent of sex and resilience promotes adoption of cognitive coping more in medical professionals. Male in comparison to female medical professionals independent of neuroticism adopt more cognitive coping style and high resilience independent of neuroticism promotes adoption of cognitive coping style more in medical professionals.

A sale is a commercial act of selling a product for compensation. There is passing of the title (ownership) of the item and settlement of a price. The seller, not the purchaser generally executes the sale and sometimes may be completed even prior to the payment. Marketing channels are the pathways through which product and services are made available to the customers for consumption. Distribution management is the art and science of designing the channel, selecting and motivating channel members and promoting the product or service through the channel. This study is an attempt to understand and explain the sales and distribution channel structures in ten different industries in India. It offers a classification scheme for grouping marketing channels into homogenous clusters based on similarity/dissimilarity. This scheme offers to explain the variety found in structures and suggests alternative channel possibilities. This will help in formulating marketing strategies and in deciding upon operational issues as well.

Context: In Manaus, Amazonas, one of the concepts used in the design of Social Housing Programs (SHP) is based on the implantation near the banks of watercourses called igarapés in urban areas, where they were formerly deprived of adequate urban services, health and education and there were subnormal housing. The importance of using sustainability criteria in certifications as an effective method of evaluating these projects is therefore important in order to mitigate or eliminate possible social and environmental impacts caused by these constructions. Objective: To evaluate an SHP project as a case study: The Urban Development and Socio-environmental Inclusion Program of Manaus (PROURBIS), Method: The research is qualitative exploratory and, as for the technical procedures: bibliographic, documentary, case study and field interviews through documentary analysis, interviews and direct observation in which the sustainability of the enterprise was investigated, taking as comparative parameters some of the criteria linked to thesocio-environmental guidance manual of CaixaEconômica Federal (a federal public bank), with relevancy on the issues of socio-environmental sustainability in social housing projects, namely Casa Azul Label, confined to the following topics: urban quality, design and comfort, water management and social practices. Results: The results showed that a) the implementation of the program favored the preservation of natural resources but failed to achieve any classification of the label, b) there were lack of continuity of actions in environmental education, c) many mandatory criteria for water management were not satisfied, and d) the importance of the Training for Enterprise Management criterion as an indispensable method to solve the co-responsibility gap was found, enabling the qualified residents themselves to call upon the task of managing the sustainable solutions proposed by the enterprise. Conclusion: The conclusion is that the Avelino Pereira residential complex, in a peripheral region of Manaus, in the Amazon forest is one of the concrete examples of the possibility of inferring paradigms that guide relations between humans and nature, opening space for hope that other projects can be built in this model of SHP with responsibility and respect for the natural environment.

This article deals with the children s universe of play and toys in a methodological perspective of complexity, also navigating the paths of phenomenology, in an open dialogue with other sciences to compose our research object, the result of reflections elaborated in the course of pedagogy. Traveling through the wings of the childrens imagination we arrive at Cinderella School and observe children from 3 to 4 years of age together with them to understand the universe of childhood without losing the rigor of science. Of the many results we are faced with a school that does not follow the pattern suggested by the Ministry of Education to receive small children, which becomes a problem in the development of their psychic and motor skills. Metaphorically we choose three characters from the world of childrens stories to join them and with them to give wings to our imagination in the net universe of a world that is built and rebuilt at any moment.

The ‘empirical reality’ of multilingualism in India is reflected in the educational language planning and its consequent pedagogical practices at schools. The language policies and the pedagogical practices with their best intentions curate the language of the marginalised learners in the arena of formal education often ignoring the fact that the pedagogy of the (foreign) language teaching has been based on second language acquisition theories that mostly disregard learners’ prior (and simultaneous) language learning experiences and resources (Susanna,2018). This neglect plays a significant role in the language learning of the tribal learners who are by default plurilingual. This paper tries to identify the ‘pedagogy of neglect’ latent in the educational language planning which shapes the preference of language in education as a subject of studyand also the choice of language as a medium of instructionin the schools of Eastern India. This study finds out thatthe language curricula in the schools arenot structured to use the tribal learners’ metalinguistic awareness as a springboard for learning other languages and the study also illuminates the linguistic aftermath of schooling on the tribal learners.

The purpose of the study was to compare the effect of SAQ Training with and without speed training on speed and acceleration among college students. Twenty four college students studying their B.P.E.S course from St. John’s college of physical education, veeravanallur were selected randomly as subjects. The age of the subjects ranged from 19 to 21 years. The selected subjects were divided into two groups. Group I underwent SAQ training with Speed training and Group II underwent SAQ training without speed training. The experimental groups (SAQ training with speed and SAQ training without speed training) were subjected to the respective trainings for alternative three days for up to six weeks. The SAQ training with speed training and SAQ training without speed training were selected as independent variables and the criterion variables speed and acceleration were selected as dependent variables and the selected dependent variables were assessed by the standardized test items. speed was assessed by 50 Meters test and the unit of measurement in seconds, and acceleration was assessed by 30 Meters Fly test and the unit of measurement in seconds. The experimental design selected for this study was pre and post test randomized design. The data were collected from each subject before and after the training period and statistically analyzed by using dependent‘t’ test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). It was found that there was a significant improvement and significant different exist due to the effect of SAQ training with speed training and SAQ training without speed training on speed and acceleration.

Present study is aimed at investigating the main factors responsible for water pollution in river Bina at Sagar. The inevitable proximity of a city/town to river would introduce the controllable and incontrollable types of pollution sources. The controllable sources include the water carriage system of sewers and industrial waste water. An extensive research work has been reported on the effects of the municipal waste water effluents on the water quality, fish population and bottom fauna characteristics of receiving rivers.Study on hydrological status of Bina river water was made to assess the portability of water from 2015. Some physicochemical parameters were considered such as surface water temperature, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, hardness, alkalinity, phosphate and nitrate contents. Among the in this study, we tried to assess the zooplankton species richness, diversity, and evenness and to predict the state of Bina river according to physico-chemical parameters..

It has been estimated that various macroscopic and microscopic disease symptoms must originate biochemical abnormalities in plants. The experimental finding reveals that MBMV shows visible disease symptoms with only few limited plants and causes great damage in crop yield.

This study was designed to investigate the influences of family and peers on sport participation amongst adolescents in secondary schools at Govt P U College Nagathan A total of 172 learners (108 females and 64 males) attending three public secondary schools in Nagathan rural area volunteered to participate in the study. Results indicated that adolescents preferred peers to family for support in sport participation. In terms of gender, no significant differences (p>0.05) were noted between mean values for school boys and girls with regard to family influence. Boys reported more tangible support, where as girls indicated a preference for emotional support. Sport participation among learners is likely to increase when they receive informational, tangible, emotional and appraisal support from their parents and peers.

Jamunamarathur is a taluk headquarter of Jawadhu hill block since 1985. The Malayalis are the original inhabitants,1 partly pastoral in nature and to a certain extent they are agriculturalist and permanent settlers.

John Rawls’ in his book “A Theory of Justice” talks about the method of distributing the primary goods in a just society. Furthermore, he defines that the primary goods are those things associated with the rational persons’ aspirations i.e. every rational person would desire to have the primary goods and in the view of John Rawls’ primary goods are opportunities, liberties, rights and wealth etc. John Rawls’ asserts that in veil of ignorance every rational person would do fair distribution of the primary goods. A just society would also have the need to determine how the victims of injustice ought to be compensated. A sort of the compensation is affirmative action. The main objectives of the paper are; to discuss Rawls’ theory of affirmative action backed up by his argument in the favour.

“It is not a soul, it is not a body that we are training up, it is a man and we ought not to divide him into two parts”.

The destiny of nation is molded and fashioned through education and it is true that the education of women has a strategic importance. Women constitute nearly fifty percent of India’s population, the most elegant resource of a society, and women are the most reliable indicator of a country’s character. The educated women can play a very important role in the development of the country, Gandhi said that “If you educate a man, you educate an individual and if you educate a woman you educate whole family”. The growth of women’s higher education in rural areas is very slow.(Singh, O. R. 2001). To know the present position of women education, the present study aim to find out the attitude, opportunities and challenges for women learners in higher education. For the present study the investigator has adopted survey method and the sample of the study consists of 405 women learners in higher education. Major findings of the study are women have high challenges in higher education. Women’s higher education also brings empowerment, self-confidence, and also gives challenges. So the recommendations were to reduction in inequalities in society and functions as a means of improving their status within the family.

Physical education is an integral part of the total education process. India has a great tradition in physical education as a means of ensuring physical development, martial valour and recreational competence and the Indian system of exercise include a variety of physical activities such as dands, suryanamaskar, yogicasanasetc. ,which formed the integral part of physical education such as kho-kho and kabaddi now promoted as national games. Physical education equips students with essential knowledge and skills needed to function effectively in this information age. The focus is on helping individuals develop human, technical and conceptual expertise required to take advantage of the various professional opportunities available in today’s job market.

African-American women are the most alluring initiation in the world. They have prow offer the wide manifesto to women cause and hunt for settlement to each flummox cladding African- American women. They consider themselves as womanist rather than feminist.They make and investigation pertaining to truth that is unseen and stamped out, in terms of bond between African-American woman and man, African-American parents and children with undoubted probity their work is based on a schema that people dream suppositions, rituals and their saga. Through exploration, they write about problems that divested the land, the life of the people.As far as, Morrison as an African-American writer, she tries to prove the validity of black culture and assert strongly for its survival power. She urges assuaging energy of altruism and the livelihood of transition, in terms of personal and social. The study focus of the novel Sula ,is on gender bias, the racial issues- the origin of the Bottom with its roots in slavery and the lack of development of Dewey- are interwoven into the fabric of the novel throughout.Morrison extends documentation pertaining through the existing and igniting condition of African-American people in America.

The study intended to find out any relationship between aggressive behavior and emotional maturity of adolescents. Aggressive behavior is the reactionary and impulsive behaviour. The role of education is the modification of behaviour of the individual. So school has a great role in mending the behaviour of the students. Moral education and mediation can be given to students. This may help them to get rid of the aggressive behaviour. The investigator used the mean, standard deviation, t-test and ANOVA (analysis of variance) to analyze the data and results were tabulated. The adolescent students show more aggressive behaviour than emotional maturity.

Present study has been carried out on fifty teacher educators. The main aim of the present study was to explore difference in teaching effectiveness of highly burnout and less burnout teacher educators as to find out relationship between teaching effectiveness and burnout.

At the turn of the 21st century, numerous significant changes have been brought through the use of ICT and its many ramifications in higher education and their potential transforming impact on the society. However, learners, recognized as scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, women and Muslims in India occupy relatively the lowest rung more particularly in the educational ladder. In the context, for years together, the issue of what counts as robust and inclusive higher education system has been debated and still concerns teachers, educators, practitioners and other researchers. Ostensibly, the educational processes and practices in tribal areas are quite distinct from that of any other part(s) of the country. Apparently, many universities, colleges and other institutions of higher learning and research have unequivocally recognized the rationale of information and communication technology for increased accessibility, enhanced responsiveness and more importantly improved quality education for all. The increasingly broad consensus about the transforming potentials and benefits of ICT in higher education plays crucial role in opening the windows of opportunity, learning and development for all. The paper is designed with an objective to develop insights of retrofitting ICT tools, technologies and other applications and appreciate the amelioration in the existing pedagogical strategies in higher education for inclusive society. In the context, technology driven instructional strategies and pedagogical practices will not only empower institutions of higher learning and research but also encompass communities of dalits, tribals and other marginalized sections of the society in terms of participation and inclusion.

The paper highlights importance of unorganized sector and analyses the key strength, weakness, opportunities and threats. It also analyse recently launched government policy “Make in India”. How this policy can change present conditions of unorganized manufacturing sector. It can locate as prominent area for INDIA as leader in manufacturing which can contribute in government call “Make in India” to move India as manufacturing hub in world market. Rapidly increasing global competition has provided the manufacturers from around the globe the opportunities of cheap labor, raw material, potential high profit making markets. Focusing on the employment generation, bossting trade and economic growth, safe guard and sustain the overall development of INDIA and its citizen; the 15th and current Prime Minister of INDIA “Mr. Narendra Damodardas MODI” on September 25th 2014 launched the “ MAKE IN INDIA” which is a new national program designed to facilitate investment in INDIA, fostering innovation, intensify skill development, generate employment opportunities, preventing brain drain and making the use of internationally standardized technology affordable for INDIAN citizens. In order to make INDIA a manufacturing hub its human resource and financial assistance will play a major role. Men and Money being the two most vital organ of a business demands careful capitalization and continuous innovation. An effectively motivated and competitive human resource and availability of finance in hand of the manufacturer determines the survival of company.

The life in digital era necessitates digital transformation of education and teaching learning experiences. The technology of virtual reality and collaboration on digital platforms brings a drastic change in mind set of student community. The study explored the level of utilisation of virtual and collaborative educational tools among college students. The study conducted on 190 graduate and post graduate students taken from government and private colleges. The tool used for the study is the Utilization Virtual and Collaborative Educational Tools Inventory developed by the researcher which have 25 questions from five dimensions i.e. Social media educational tools, Virtual Multi-Media Archives, Online interactive Platforms, M-learning resources and University Digital Resources. It is four PointScale showing the options ‘Always’, ‘Frequently’, ‘Rarely’ and ‘Not at all’. The statistical techniques used for the study M, Standard Deviation and t-test. The result of the study revealed that there is significant difference in the utilization of virtual and collaborative educational tools among college students based on gender, type of college and stream of subject. Male college students showed higher level of utilization of virtual and collaborative educational tools among college students than their counterpart and it is also found that utilization of virtual and collaborative educational tools among science student is higher than their counterpart and utilization of virtual and collaborative educational tools students from government colleges is higher than their counterpart. It is also revealed that there is no significant difference in utilization of virtual and collaborative educational tools among female students from government and private colleges and no significant difference found among students of arts from government and private. Post graduate students have higher level of utilization of virtual and collaborative educational tools than graduate students. The study recommends some initiatives to be taken the educational authorities to motivate and encourage the students of higher education to maximize their digital exposure ensuring quality education.

There is an adequate amount of proof to recommend that regional disparities within most developing countries are terrifyingly high and almost certainly ever-increasing. This disparity creates copious economic, social, cultural and environmental problems. The present study makes an attempt to inspect the interstate disparities in provisions of level of socio-demographic and economic development in India based on some selected variables by applying Principle Component Analysis (PCA) which is a technique of experimental factorial analysis and the level of development individually for the social, economic and inclusive socioeconomic are acquired by computing the Composite Indices (CI). The indicators are chosen on the basis of straight impact and justified their implication of the investigation. From the result, it is exhibited that Kerala (indices 179.60) takes positioned first and Jammu and Kashmir (indices 149.08) takes last position in the socio-economic improvement. An extensive imbalance in the level of development is confirmed by the empirical result which prevails among the different state. For acquiring the balanced and uniform regional development and improving the value of life probable targets for various socio-economic amenities have been estimated for the low developed state. In addition the article advice to the diffident states for the instant attentiveness of the government to recover the various indicators at various dimensions for construct our country socially and economically developed in a complete manner. To eliminate such discrepancy a number of programme and procedures have to be invented.

A água é um dos bens da humanidade que mais causa preocupação, considerando que uma boa parte do planeta apresenta uma diminuição ou até mesmo, extinção de seus recursos hídricos. Percebe-se, nas últimas décadas o aumento crescente da poluição dos mananciais, principalmente daqueles muito próximos das cidades e, também, o aumento crescente de desperdício. Sendo assim, consideramos a educação ambiental primordial e necessária para sensibilização dos indivíduos para essa crise hídrica mundial. Nesse quadro preocupante e olhando para o ambiente escolar, de um Campus de um Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Amazonas (IFET-AM) ou simplesmente Instituto Federal do Amazonas (IFAM), no qual temos exercido nossa docência por mais de vinte anos, percebemos que existem algumas atitudes praticadas nesse ambiente, que podem ser caracterizadas como instrumentos de desperdício de água. Nesse contexto, a problemática que move esse projeto de pesquisa é saber qual a concepção dos alunos do 2° ano do Ensino Médio, do Instituto Federal do Amazonas (IFAM), sobre o desperdício de água na sua casa, no seu bairro e na escola. Assim, o objetivo geral desse trabalho foi investigar a concepção e percepção dos alunos, do 2° ano do Ensino Médio, do Instituto Federal do Amazonas (IFAM), sobre o desperdício de água no ambiente escolar, na comunidade em que vivem e na própria residência. A metodologia apresenta as características da pesquisa bibliográfica, documental, descritiva, sob a abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, à luz do método da análise de conteúdo. Esperamos, com esse trabalho, contribuir para alavancar, ainda mais, as discussões sobre a temática - desperdício de água -, dado a importância do tema, diante da crise, cada vez mais iminente de recursos hídricos. Além disso, mostrar que a escola tem um papel fundamental na sensibilização dos seus alunos sobre o tema e, dessa forma, tornando-os multiplicadores da educação ambiental, por meio da qual o problema do desperdício pode ser amenizado.

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) is a kind of self-configuring networks. MANET can also be partitioned into clusters for maintaining the network structure. Generally, clustering is used to reduce the size of the topology and to accumulate the topology information. MANET has characteristics of topology dynamics due to factors such as energy conservation and node movement that leads to dynamic load-balanced clustering problem (DLBCP). Load balancing and reliable data transfer between all the nodes are essential to prolong the lifetime of the network. It is necessary to have an effective clustering algorithm for adapting the topology change. In this, we used energy metric in Genetic Algorithm (GA) to solve the DLBCP. It is important to select the energy-efficient cluster head for maintaining the cluster structure and balance the load actively. In this work, we used advanced dynamic genetic algorithms such as Memory Enhanced Genetic Algorithm (MEGA) and Elitism based Immigrants Genetic algorithm (EIGA) and to solve DLBCP. These schemes, select an optimal cluster head by considering the distance and energy parameters. We used EIGA to maintain the diversity level of the population and MEGA to store the old environments into the memory. It promises the energy efficiency of the entire cluster structure to increase the lifetime of the network. Experimental results show that the proposed schemes increase the network lifetime and reduces the total energy consumption. The simulation results show that MEGA gives a better performance than EIGA in terms of load-balancing.

Money is always regarded as an important medium of exchange and payment tool. Initially barter system was used as the significant mode of payment. Over the years, money has changed its form from coins to paper cash and today it is available in formless form as electronic money or plastic card. Hence, the major change in banks which has been brought in by technology is through introduction of products which are alternative to cash or paper money. Due to the technological revolution in financial sector, the payments in banking system have undergone a tremendous change. The Number of innovative products for making payment has developed after the privatization and globalization. Customers have showed their preference over the usage of the plastic money generally over a period of time in the banking process. An attempt has been made to study the satisfaction level of customers and the benefits of plastic money in the banking sector with special reference to Palakkad District. It is assumed that the conclusions from these will provide a clear view of their contribution towards the overall economic development of the country.

Need of reasoning caused need of arranging. Need of arranging caused need of versatility, need of portability caused need of cash; need of cash caused the fall of the work class, Shudras and all the disaster was caused by just single need of training. In this part there are two areas; the primary segments manages social separation among SC/STs in Kalburgi regions and appraisal of the improvement progammes is considered in the second segment. The most multifaceted issue relating to hardship, separation, misuse and persecution is Dalits issue.

In the present era of advanced ICT libraries have seen a drastic change in their house keeping operation. This technology has not only provides easy access to information but also turned the whole world into a global village. Though the libraries in the urban areas are getting huge ICT facilities but the rural libraries are not getting the same. Rural libraries in West Bengal are facing financial problem, lack of manpower, lack of infrastructure.According to census report (2011) nearly 70 per cent people lives in rural areas but they are not getting the equal facilities and opportunities as per the facilities getting by urban people. Thus rural libraries in West Bengal turned into a museum for the preservation of Books.

Secondary school students who are in their adolescent stage needs to develop their capabilities to deal with minor and major setbacks of academic life. This can be achieved by developing Academic Buoyancy and Academic Resilience in students. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to study academic buoyancy and academic resilience of secondary school students. This study was also intended to ascertain the relationship between academic buoyancy and academic resilience. The study adopted descriptive research methodology of correlation and causal comparison type. Participants included 1169 secondary school students of Greater Mumbai studying in State Board of Maharashtra. Academic Buoyancy Scale, Academic Resilience Scale and Socio-Economic Inventory were administered to participants. Parametric techniques, ‘t’ test and ANOVA were used to test the hypotheses. Study results revealed no significant difference with respect to the gender but showed significant difference in case of SES for academic buoyancy. For academic resilience, the result showed significant difference for both the gender and SES. The study also revealed significant relationship between academic buoyancy and academic resilience. Finally, eduational implications of the result are discussed.

Students are the greatest resource of every nation. They are the future strength of a society. When they complete their school education and enter in to the college life they have to face a completely different social, emotional, educational and personal environment. They need to be more emotionally mature than before to tackle the changing scenario. This paper deals with the emotional maturity of college going boys and girls. Attempts have been made to assess the impact of gender upon emotional maturity. Various dimensions of emotional maturity have been measured to study the difference. A sample of 100 college going undergraduate students from Nainital district of Uttarakhand have been selected with the help of randomized sampling technique. Out of these 100 students 50 were male and rest 50 was female students. As a tool Emotional Maturity Scale (EMS) constructed by Singh and Bhargava, 1991 was used. With the help of this scale five broad dimensions of Emotional ImmaturityEmotional Instability, Emotional Regression, Social Mal-adjustment, Personality Disintegration and Lack of Independence have been measured. Findings indicate differences in the emotional maturity of boys and girls upon various dimensions. In overall scores boys appeared to be more emotionally mature than girls.

Plagiarism is a theft of intellectual property of others. The intellectual properties may be video, audio, story, texts and so on and so forth. It has become the customary thing for the people to use others’ writings in the academic arena the reason being easy going nature of people. The culture of copy, cut and paste is so easy and handy nowadays. Presentation will be made ready in faster pace in a shoe lace tying time. The internet browserslike Google, Mozilla Firefox and so onhelps us not only to get information quicker but also to take easily. It is on the increase after the advent of internet. The search engines provide a wider platform for people to go for plagiarism. Among all, the Wikipedia is the main source for people to copy, cut and paste. It possesses a large amount of information. The purpose of the Wikipedia is different, it is to provide knowledge source like an encyclopedia. The mass copying as a result of the internet has increased manifold. How to counter all these? Is there any checking point for this? What is that which is lacking in our researchers who tend to go for plagiarized content? Barring research scholars, academicians with repute are also often caught with plagiarized content. Much has been done to damage the image of academicians. It is so natural that everything which has a mushrooming growth will have its natural end.

India is drawing the world’s attention, not only because of its population explosion but also because of its prevailing as well as emerging health profile and profound political, economic and social transformations. Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing. Health is an important aspect of human life. Non- availability of health facilities and poor economic condition leaves poor in pathetic condition. Poverty not only pulls back families economically but it effects on their social condition. Families those are below poverty line face many problems. Poverty also has a bad impact on the education, health and basic services. Government is spending lot of money in providing health facilities to rural poor but still that efforts are not sufficient. Primary health centre are unable to reach poor families due to many reasons. Unawareness about the health and non-availability of facilities, many of rural families spend lot of money on the health. Addiction is also reason for the poor health of rural people. Researcher studied the health status of BPL families from the Shirgaon village. Present study is descriptive in nature. There are 60 BPL families in the Shirgaon village and researcher taken the same as sample. The primary data has been collected by using the structured interview schedule. Study argues that families from the poverty line are not aware about the health and hygiene and it is the main reason for the poor condition of the health. It has also been found that they are expending money in local private hospital instead of the government primary health centre. Low education and limited access to resources keep them away from the government scheme and programme regards to health. It is an urgent need to aware rural poor about sanitation, personal hygiene, and proper drainage system, safety of drinking water and about the government facilities available to them.

Pharma, food companies, health care operations and media plays vital role for social, economic and human development. Indian pharmaceutical companies are playing major role by supplying generic drugs to the world. Liquidity is one of the factor which determines the financial health of a firm. In this article an attempt is made to identify and measure liquidity positions of top five pharmaceutical companies which are working in India. The data used for the study is secondary and collected from annual reports of selected pharmaceuticals companies over a period of five years. For analyzing the liquidity of the firms various ratios such as Current, Quick, Inventory turnover, finished goods turnover and Debtors turnover ratios and their mean standard deviation are used. Working capital estimation was done based on the length operating cycle. Single factor ANOVA test of Current Ratio and Return on Assets and Regression statistics tests are conducted to analyze their significance and co-relation between Current ratio and Return on asset. The result of the study shows that the selected pharmaceutical companies are maintained satisfactory working capita during the study period, there is significance difference in mean values and weak positive linear co-relationship found in between Current Ratio and Return on Asset at five percent significance level.

Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is an important framework for mapping and sharing of spatial big data across the web. Integration of SDI with cloud computing lead to emergence of Cloud SDI model as a tool for processing, transmission and analysis of spatial health data. Cloud computing is a paradigm where computing are employed on web to increase the throughput and reduce latency at the edge of the clients. In this study, a Cloud SDI model named GeoCloud4Health has been proposed and evaluated for mining analytics from spatial health data. It is built on a prototype using QGIS open source software. SDI can offer a real time and dynamic way to represent information through maps and related data. Here, a case study on malaria vector borne disease positive cases and that of number of deaths from spatial district level maps of Maharashtra state in India, from 2001 to 2014. The proposed model, besides visualization it executed overlay analysis and delivery of value added spatial information and outputs. The results of the present research work have shown the efficacy of using open source tools in the proposed framework which is modular, distributive and flexible for enhanced analysis of spatial health data in cloud computing environment.

TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method and its photocatalytic activity was tested for the degradation of Methyl Orange. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by means of XRD which demonstrated that TiO2 is in anatase phase with average crystallite size of 11 nm. TEM images of TiO2 nanocrystalline which reveals that particles are pseudo spherical in shape with 11 nm size which is in good agreement with the results obtained from XRD. The chemical composition and valence states of TiO2 were investigated by XPS. The results clearly indicate that both Ti has quadrivalent oxidation state. UV-Vis DRS show that the TiO2 leads to slight redshift in the optical response. Morphology and elemental analysis of the nanoparticles was carried out by SEM and EDS respectively. The FT-IR analysis was ascribed to Ti-O-Ti stretching modes of vibration in the range of 900-400cm-1 . The rate of recombination and transfer behaviors of photoexcited electron-hole pairs in the semiconductors was observed by using PL spectroscopy. TGA-DTA pointed out TiO2 nanoparticles are thermally stable. Moreover, to know the applicability of synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles, they are employed for the degradation of Methyl Orange. In order to achieve the maximum photocatalytic activity for the degradation of MO , a series of experiments were carried out such as the effect of pH, irradiation sources (Sunlight and UV light) and photocatalyst loading. As synthesized TiO2 photocatalyst is found to be efficient for the degradation of both MO dye. A 98% photodegradation efficiency towards MO was achieved under sunlight at optimal conditions within 210 min. (20 ppm MO, pH=3, 1.0 g/dm3 ).

The attitude of the Quran and the early Muslims bear witness to the fact that woman is at least as vital to life as man himself, she is not inferior to him nor she is one of the lower species had it not been for the impact of foreign cultures and alien influences, this question would never arises among the Muslims. The status of women was taken for granted to be equal to that of man. It was matter of course, a matter of fact and no one then considered as problem at all.This distinction between equality and sameness is of paramount importance. Equality is desirable, just fair or not; but sameness is not .people are not created identical but they are created equals .with this distinction in mind, there isno room to imagine that woman is inferior to woman there is no ground to assume that she has less important than he just because her rights are not identical the same as his.

This paper shows the real time controlling of wheelchair by Bio signals (????????). Of late, the aged population & the patient of disablity in leg has increased substantially.
