 For measuring computer proficiency of elementary school teachers, the present task was undertaken to construct and standardize computer proficiency scale. For this, data were collected from elementary school teachers by adopting multistage and stratifed random sampling technique. An item pool was created initially by consulting various sources and theoretical and empirical literature available in the concerned area. This item pool was put to evaluation and criticism by technical as well as language experts. The preliminary draft of computer proficiency scale was further subjected to item analysis to select only highly discriminating and valid items. The reliability of scale was established with the help of test-retest and Cronbach’s Alpha method which were found to be appreciably high. The validity of computer proficiency scale was ascertained and norms were established for interpretation of obtained scores on the scale. In the last, conclusions have been presented and applicability of computer proficiency scale has been discussed.

 Quality in higher education has become the prime agenda of countries worldwide. In the changing context marked by expansion of higher education and globalization of economic activities, education has become a national concern. The University Grants Commission (UGC), by virtue of the statutory powers conferred on it, is expected to develop effective mechanisms for quality control of institutions. Section 12 of the UGC Act of 1956 specifically requires UGC to be responsible for “the determination and maintenance of standards of teaching, examinations and research in universities”. Towards fulfilling this mandate, UGC has evolved various monitoring mechanisms for quality control. The term quality assurance usually gets associated with an external accreditation agency for identifying the level of quality of an institution, like the NAAC in India. National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), formed under the aegis of UGC has implemented new methodology of evaluation of educational institutions in India. The new dimensions of “Quality Measure” as proposed by the NAAC involve continuous process of assessment of HEIs. The outcome of the Assessment is the final Institutional grading conferred to the institutions. UGC and NAAC have played a vital role in streamlining the Quality HEIs. The process has changed the mind set of all stakeholders towards quality and its sustenance and has involved them to contribute for its achievement. They provide adequate guidelines for formulating quality assurance policies as well as for adopting systems and procedures within teacher education institutions for enhancing the quality of the processes involved in teacher development.
Key-words: - Quality Assurance, NAAC.

 The concepts defining information, information needs, information seeking and information use have undergone significant evolution since they were first introduced. A number of information seeking and retrieval studies seem to focus on these concepts, albeit in different ways. It is widely understood that concepts form the basis for describing and explaining phenomena and processes in a field of study. Within the field of Information Science, many of the concepts used need to be understood in terms of research context, as a variety of meanings can be attached to most concepts. This in turn may be of interest to researchers and students within this field. The article concludes that context should be the foundation for any research within this field, with the observation that many of the models discussed describe general information seeking behavior, without catering for variations.

 Parents play an important role in all round development of the child.  Parental encouragement plays a major role in determining the attitude, behaviour and self-image of the child.  Adolescence is a period of dramatic change. Parental support and encouragement is critical in adolescence as anxiety and resulting problems related to adolescence may lead to depressed mood, lowered self esteem and impaired family and peer relationships.  200 students (100 rural and 100 urban) of 14-16 year (class 9th and 10th grade) from Government schools of Kurukshetra District of Haryana were included in sample.  Parental Encouragement scale (PES) developed by Dr. R.R.Sharma was used to collect the data. t-test and ANOVA was used to analyse the data.

 An important distinction is made by some between leadership and manage¬ment. To manage means to direct, to bring about to accomplish, and to have responsibility for. The functions of management, as described in chapter one, are planning, organizing, directing, and controlling. The successful manager is viewed as someone who achieves results by following the prescribed activities and by maintaining behaviors and products within prescribed limits. To lead, however, is to inspire, to influence, and to motivate. Effective leaders inspire others to pursue excellence, to extend themselves and to go beyond their perform job requirements by generating creative ideas.

 Anemia of pregnancy remains highly prevalent in Senegal despite the national iron/folic acid (IFA) supplementation program, which consists of providing prescriptions to purchase IFA to women during prenatal visits. The purpose of this study was to provide a framework for recommendations to improve the effectiveness of the program. We determined the prevalence and risk factors of anemia in a cohort of 480 pregnant women at 6 prenatal health centers in Dakar; we compared compliance after 20 weeks of supplementation between women who received prescriptions at 3 control centers and those who received free IFA at 3 intervention centers; and we assessed the factors that influenced high and low compliance in both groups. Overall, 39% of women were anemic and 71% were iron deficient (ID). Twelve percent were infected with P. falciparum; 21% had intestinal helminthes, and 6.5% had Hb AS. Women consumed foods containing iron absorption inhibitors at high frequency.

Around 10,000 years ago human being had started domestication of plants and animals, even before this period, people had been altering plants and animal for their own benefit by using other means such as fire-stick farming. Moving from this time, agriculture has undergone drastic change because of technological development. With the changes in almost every sphere of life, agriculture has also undergone change particularly in developed and developing world, and has been characterized by enhanced productivity, the replacement of human labour to mechanization and the introduction of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, selective breeding has changed the fate of agriculture round the globe and Himalayan states are not exception. Present paper is based on primary study conducted in Chamba and Kangra districts of Himachal Pradesh. In the state agriculture contributes nearly 45% to the net state domestic product and about93% of the state population depends directly or indirectly upon agriculture, moreover it is main source of income as well as employment. Two districts have been selected for the study because of the fact that all these districts have four agro-climatic zones and it makes ‘mini Himachal’. In these zones both types of cropping patterns i.e. rabi and kharif are being used since ages. But in present time, the seeds of change has sown and now the change is visible and people of the hilly region are changing traditional crops and shifting to cash crops.  The paper is an attempt to analyse the shift from traditional crops to cash crops which is based on primary data based research collected from two study districts from the state of Himachal Pradesh in India dividing two districts in four sub-districts and further in 30 panchayats (lowest administrative unit) and 73 villages and atleast selecting three respondents from each village, 200 respondents have been interviewed to arrive at desirable results. The study has been conducted by using exploratory, descriptive and observation methods of research. The results from the study reveals that agriculturalists having more than 5 acres of land have  changed land-use pattern while farmers having less than 5 acres land are compelled to do traditional cropping as it is compulsory to meet out their family needs. People have shifted from traditional crops to vegetables, seri-culture and horticulture and earning very good income and experienced change in the amenities available in the household as well as they are capable to provide better living conditions.

 Today is the era of modernization and every society has recognized the role of higher education in accelerating the changes in a society. Higher education is critical for developing a modern society by equipping young people with positive attitude and skills relevant for the labour market and the opportunity for social mobility.

Indeed, higher education is the principal site at which our national goals, developmental priorities and civic values can be examined and refined.  It can bring attitudinal changes and can prove successful in modernizing the thought process of members of a society. The present study was conducted to assess the attitude of under-graduate and post-graduate female students towards modernization. A sample of 100 female university students i.e. 50 under-graduate and 50 post-graduate were selected by using simple random sampling technique. The students were selected from different departments of Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya, Bilaspur. Attitude towards modernization was assessed by using the Modernization Scale developed by R.S. Singh, A. N. Tripathi and R. Lal. The data was analyzed by applying “t” test for testing the difference between U.G and P.G female university students attitude towards modernization. The findings of the  study revealed that choice of stream at the under-graduate level makes a difference in attitude towards modernization but at post-graduate level the choice of stream does not have any difference in the attitude of female students  towards modernization that may be due to their increased maturity level.

COMMUNITY, CONSERVATION, AND THE COMMONS: RETHINKING LOCAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

The idea that local communities can and should manage their own natural resources has moved from heresy to orthodoxy, displacing an older faith in centralised state control. This paper examines that shift and sounds a note of caution. It argues that while the case for community management of shared resources is sound, resting on strong evidence that communities can govern commons sustainably, the enthusiasm for it has often rested on a romantic and unexamined notion of community that invites disappointment. Drawing on the scholarship of common-property resources and on the critical analysis of the concept of community in conservation, the paper distinguishes the genuine insight, that collective local institutions can sustain shared resources under specifiable conditions, from the sentimental error, that any small, rural, or traditional group is a harmonious community naturally disposed to conserve. It argues that communities are internally differentiated by wealth, power, and interest, that this differentiation shapes who governs the commons and in whose favour, and that successful community management depends not on the mere existence of community but on the specific institutions through which collective choice is exercised. Seeing community clearly, rather than romantically, is the condition of managing resources well.
