A PERCEPTUAL STUDY TO FIND OUT THE CAUSES OF FEMALE ILLITERACY IN MUMBAI'S SUBURBAN DISTRICT

Sunita Jain

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/61 | Page No.: 14156 - 14165

 Literacy is a process which dispels and promotes rational thinking and moulds human beings into becoming responsible citizens. The absence of literacy i.e. illiteracy has a negative impact on social as well as economic growth of the nation.  This hinders the development of individuals, society, community and the country as a whole. For the success of any program, people should be motivated by providing necessary congenial environments, socio-economic conditions and committed efforts on the part of implementing bodies. In spite of the number of efforts made by central and state governments in India, still illiterates remain. This paper considers the perception of B.Ed student teachers to identify factors responsible for female remaining illiterate and suggests strategies to adopt for achieving better results in Mumbai\\\'s suburban district. 
Key Words: female illiteracy, Mumbai\\\'s Suburban District, B.Ed

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/61 | Page No.: 14232 - 14238

 Women entrepreneurs are playing very vital role and they have become important part of the global business environment and it’s really important for the sustained economic development and social progress. Women entrepreneurs’ responsibility towards family and workplace. The attitude of society towards her and the constraints in which she has to live and work are hostile. With joint families breaking up many women simply don’t have the support of elders. However, in rural India joint families are still the order of the day. Women have to face resistance not only from men but also from elderly woman who are ingrained with this attitude of inequality. This attitude of reservation creates difficulties and problems at all levels, i.e., family support, banking, marketing, training, licensing etc. 
Key words: Women entrepreneurs, family, society, responsibility.

P. Supriya & R. Muthulakshmi

Interestingly, the tax system in India traces its origin to the prehistoric texts such as Arthashastra and Manusmriti. As proposed by these manuscripts, the taxes paid by farmers and artisans in that era would be in the form of agricultural produce, silver or gold. Based on these texts, the foundation of the modern tax system in India was conceptualized by the Sir James Wilson during the British rule in India in the year, 1860. However, post-independence the newly-established Indian administration then soldered the system to propel the economic development of the country. After this period, the Indian tax structure has been subject matter to a host of changes. India has a healthy developed tax structure with clearly demarcated right between Central and State Governments and local bodies. Central Government levies taxes on income (except tax on agricultural income, which the State Governments can levy), customs duties, Central Goods & Services tax (CGST) & Integrated Goods & Services Tax (IGST). State Good & Services Tax (SGST), stamp duty, state excise, land revenue and profession tax are levied by the State Governments.

Swarna Chandrika Mahapatra

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/61 | Page No.: 14287 - 14294

The present study investigated the effect of constructivist approach on the achievement of elementary students in the English language. A quasi-experimental design was used in the study.  Participants for this study were drawn via purposive sampling from an intact population of class VI students and were divided into an experimental group (N = 29) and a control group (N =29). An achievement test, which served as the pretest, was administered prior to the intervention to both the groups. Furthermore, students with low scores in the pretest (low achievers) were distributed between the experimental and control group. The experimental group received instruction based on Interpretation Construction (ICON) Design Model. The control group received the traditional method of instruction. Post-test was conducted and mean scores were computed for the groups. Mean, Standard deviation’– test and Analysis of covariance were used to arrive at the following conclusions: (i) Students taught through constructivist approach, ICON model, gained significantly higher score as compared to their counterpart taught by traditional method. Based on the ‘t’ value of 0.948 at 0.005 level with df 56, there was no significant difference between the mean achievement of the experimental group and control group before the intervention. However, there existed a significant difference between the mean achievement of the experimental group and control group after the intervention (t value 4.271 at 0.001 level with df 56). (ii) Low achievers learnt better through a constructivist approach and gained significantly higher score as compared to their counterpart taught by traditional method. There was also no significant difference between mean achievement scores of low achievers from both the groups before intervention (t value 0.638 at 0.001 level with df 56). But the researcher found a significant difference between the mean achievement scores post-intervention (t value 3.707 with df 15 at 0.001 level). Based on the above conclusions, it is recommended that the English language taught through ICON model leads to better achievement among the students.

Indian fiction in English has a formidable line of women novelists from Kamala Markandaya to Nayantara Sahgal, Shashi Deshpande is one of the brightest stars in this august galaxy of  Indian women writers who in her various works has 
depicted the contemporary middle class women’s outer and inner world with remarkable acute insight. The present study is an attempt to show how the multi-layered ‘silence’ is used by her protagonist as a strategy to survive, understand
and realize her identity and self-respect, as also to establish and assert her status, role and contribution in the domestic and social domains. That Long Silenceiis a modern novel, which won her the Sahithya Academy award in 1990, 
revolves around its central protagonist Jaya, who is in search for her self identity in a tradition bound society. The present paper is an honest attempt to show how patriarchy hampers woman’s assertion and tries 
to oppress her in each and every possible way; and how a woman projects herself as a isubject and refuses to live her ife in a servile manner. The paper beautifully traces the journey of Jaya, the protagonist from 
suppression to self-realization.

 Investment in a commitment of present fund order to derive future income in the form of interest, dividends and appreciation in the value of securities. In other words, investment is commitment of money that is expected to generate additional money in future. Every investment entails some amount of risk. It requires “present certain” sacrifice for “future uncertain benefits”. All investments are risky and as such investor has to be choosy and highly selective in making investments, so that risk taken is lowest possible while the return share the highest feasible. The Life Insurance policy of India  life insurance policy has been a Nation-builder since its formation in 1956. True to the objectives of nationalization, the life insurance policy the funds from the policy holders for the benefit of the community at large. The life insurance policy collects large amount of funds from the public and deploys the amount to the best advantage of the policy holders, the community at large and industrial development.

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/61 | Page No.: 14331 - 14337

 The 12th plan has highlighted expansion, equity and excellence as the major concern in education. India has witnessed significant increase in gross enrolment ration and inclusivity through affirmative action. However persistent disparity exists across states, religious minorities and backward classes. Education is a prerequisite for socio-economic    development, particularly for the weaker sections that have all along been subjected to various kinds of deprivation and discrimination and therefore, stand in need of instant development. A proactive state initiative to foster excellence while improving equity through higher access of disadvantage segment of the society. Education is a right and all citizens of the country should have access to it. It is through education that they can fully utilize the opportunities for socio-economic development since it opens to them various avenues of mobility and employment. Education is also an instrument of liberation and endows the deprived groups with confidence, courage and ability to resist exploitation.

Ayesha Tanwir

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/61 | Page No.: 14338 - 14342

 Madrasa education is major source of education for Muslims in India. Madrasa is an Arabic word which means an educational institution. They have never been limited to providing only religious education but this notion has shifted, and Madrasa become the only religious centre. For many years Madrasa has been only education option available to Muslim children, especially in areas where no schools have reached the Muslim masses. Increasingly, oppressed Muslim communities demand greater quality education from their madrasa. Madrasa education lots of challenges likewise in India, most of the Madrasa are privately owned and the leaders of madrasa do not feel the need to fulfil the need of the society. Although Muslims parents are Inclined to the safe environment of the school, they are aware of that because of conventional methods and techniques, negative outlook on modern subjects and also due to lack of imagination, experiments and invention, only religious teaching will not be enough for their children to live a decent life. This paper discusses some of the problem faced by Madrasa and suggest some remedial steps to improve the standard of education offered by Madrasa for the overall growth of the Muslim community.
Key words: - Madrasa Education, challenges, Muslims

KINETIC STUDIES OF THE SOLVENT EFFECT OF AQUO-DMSO SOLVENT SYSTEMS ON THE EXTENSIVE THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF ACID CATALYSED SOLVOLYSIS OF HIGHER METHANOATES

Namami Shankar Sudhanshu

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/61 | Page No.: 14348 - 14355

 With a view to study the solvent effect on the estensive thermodynamic properties of Acid catalysed solvolysis of higher methanoate, the kinetics of the section was studied in water-DMSO media of varying composition consisting of 20% to 80% (v/v) of DMSO at different temperatures ranging from 20 to 40°C.
The specific rate constant values of the reaction were found to decrease with increasing concentration of DMSO in the reaction media. It was found that from 0.267 to 1.642 molecules of water are associated with the activated complex and from this, it is concluded that in the presence of DMSO in the reaction media, the mechanistic pathways of the reaction is changed from bimolecular to unimolecular. The depletion observed in the values of iso-composition activation energy of the reaction shows that the transition state is solvated and initial stage is desolvated with addition of DMSO in reaction media. The unity value of slope of the plots of log k values against log [H+] values shows that the reaction follows AAC2 mechanism. From the values of iso-kinetic temperature i.e. 290, it may be concluded that in water-DMSO reaction media, there is weak but considerable solvent-solute interaction.
Keywords: - Extensive, solvolysis, Mechanism, Iso-composition, and iso-dielectric, solvated, Desolvated, Weak Interaction.

DETERMINANTS OF TWO-WHEELER AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON BUYING BEHAVIOUR OF CUSTOMERS: A CASE STUDY OF NANDED CITY, MAHARASHTRA (INDIA)

Balaji S. Mudholkar

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/61 | Page No.: 14365 - 14371

 Understanding consumer behaviour is important for any organization before launching a product. If the organization failed to analyse how a customer will respond to a particular product, the company will face losses. Consumer behaviour is very complex because each consumer has different mind and attitude towards purchase, consumption and disposal of product. Understanding the theories and concepts of consumer behaviour helps to market the product or services successfully. Moreover, studying consumer behaviour helps in many aspects. As there is constant change in the living standards, trend, fashion and change in technology; consumer\'s attitude towards the purchase of product varies. Understanding these factors is of utmost importance because the marketing of product are largely dependent on these factors. Thus, consumer behaviour serves as a successful tool for marketers in meeting their sales objectives. In the light of this researcher is interested to Determinants of Two-Wheeler motor bike in buying behaviour of customers: A case study of Nanded city
Key words: consumer behaviour, purchase, consumption and disposal of product, consumer\'s attitude, constant change.

A COMPREHENSIVE KINETIC STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF AQUO-PRIMARY ALCOHOL SOLVENT - SYSTEMS ON THE MEDICINAL EFFICIENCY OF CAPROATE ESTER

Rashik Bihari Dubey

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/61 | Page No.: 14372 - 14378

 The medicinal efficiencies of propyl Caproate as a pharmaceutical were quantitatively determined by evaluating the changes in extensive thermodynamic properties of its solvolysis reaction in aquo-n-propanol media.
It was observed that the values of iso- composition activation energy (EC) go on increasing with gradual addition of the organic cosolvent, but the values of iso-dielectric activation energy (ED) of the reaction was found decreasing with increasing dielectric constants of the reaction media.
From the evaluated value of iso kinetic temperature (327) of the reaction, it is concluded that in this reaction media (water-n-propanol), there is appreciably strong solvent-solute interaction.
Keywords:- Solvolysis, Caproate Ester, Solvent Systems, Solvent-solute interaction, Depletion, Specific Solvation Uni and Bimolecular, Iso-kinetic temperature.

16TH PARLIAMENT, ITS AFFAIRS AND VOTERS PERCEPTION A - Sociological Study

Devananda R. & GD Narayana

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/61 | Page No.: 14379 - 14388

 After the Independence of India first general elections was held from 25-10-1951 to 21-05-1952. After the general elections first Lok sabha was constituted on 17-04-1952. For the 16th Lok sabha the general election was held from 07-04-2014 to 12-05-2014 this was the longest election in Indian general election history. After the elections the NDA came to power with BJP having its own 282 members in 543 members. 2 Anglo Indian members are nominated by the president of India to the Parliament.    
Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi took the office on 26-05-2014 as the 14th Prime Minister of Independent India. Its first session was scheduled to conveyed from 04-06-2014. In this 16th Lok sabha, the productivity of Parliament members in both houses of the parliament is less than 10% in average. For this 16th parliament no opposition leader was in the house, according to the norms of Lok sabha the parliament has to work 06-00 hours daily. But parliament worked only 01-15 hours only. This shows the working attitude of 16th Lok sabha parliament members. 
The Parliament members elected for 16th Lok sabha, have 20.66% serious criminal cases against them. 13.47% of Lok sabha members have no serious criminal cases against them, and 65.87% of parliament members have no criminal cases against them. 1/3 of elected members had at least one pending criminal case against them with some having serious criminal cases. Majority of the elected members are Karodpathi members. 
The contemporary issues are no preference for valuable democratic debate; the members are not cooperative with the speakers of both houses. The members are opposing the government for opposition only, the members are more regionalists, and members are controlled by political parties at the time of parliament sessions also, many of them as no specific vision and mission.
 The challenges for Indian parliament are caste politics, identity politics, money power, and muzzle power, party politics, corruption, continues election throughout the year, changing nature and newly emerging political trends in contemporary Indian politics, different socio-religious communities, disrespecting the constitutional institutions, polarization of politics. 
Objectives of the study:
To collect information about Indian Parliament and its affairs. 
To study about the Parliament members activities in Parliament.
Hypothesis of the Study:
The Parliament affairs are not up to the voter’s perception.
With the activities of parliament members voters are not satisfied. 
Keywords: Parliament, constitution, parliamentary affairs, opposition parties, voter’s perception.

 Today, more than ever, the role of educational technology in teaching is of great importance because of the use of information and communication technologies. With the help of various applications for distance education, the Internet, teachers, and students themselves, they see the advantage of educational technology. The question is whether schools and teachers themselves are ready for the use of technology in education and whether they are aware of its benefits? In this paper, I try to give an overview of the importance and use of educational technology in the classroom.
Keywords: Educational technology, Technology and learning, School, Teachers, The impact of technology on learning.

Water is one of the most important renewable natural resources, which has been a source of the life for mankind from the origin of human being. In the mid 20" century in India, water was used for various purposes on a large scale. No other country in the world most probably developed its water resource with such intensity and vigor as India. About 65 million hectare of the land was brought under irrigation during 1947 – 2011. Thousands of small, medium and number of large projects were built to harness most of the rivers of the country ground water which was never capped for large scale irrigation, before was exploited on huge scale. An attempt has been made to study the imbalance and management of water resource in Marathwada region. Keywords: Management, scarcity, water storage, ground water draft.

DETECTION OF RESPIRATORY BURST IN CATLA CATLA (HAMILTON, 1822) FINGERLING UNDERGOING TRANSPORTATION STRESS BY USING NBT TEST

Manoj M Ghughuskar

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/61 | Page No.: 14452 - 14461

Catla fingerlings’ weighing average weight (31.36±1.26 g) was selected for further transportation experiment. Catla catla fingerlings were packed at two densities, 25 g/l (optimum) and 50 g/l (double of the optimum) of ten replicates each for 6 h ,12 h,18 h and 24 h respectively in polyethylene bags of dimensions (L-77.8 cm x B-40 cm), which were filled with 5 liters water, i.e., 1/3rd water and 2/3rd oxygen. The samples were regularly collected at CIFE Aquaculture Wet Laboratory at every 6 h (i.e., 6, 12, 18 and 24 h) intervals for taking blood for estimation of stress parameter i.e. NBT test of catla fingerlings. The vehicle was continuously running for 24 hrs in and around Mumbai from 8.00 A.M to 8.00 A.M. covering a distance of about 640 Km. It was observed that NBT test value got drastically changed is a good indicator of stress during transportation of Catla catla fingerlings packed at high density and increasing transportation duration. Hence, 25 g/l was the optimum packing density of Catla catla fingerlings for 24hrs duration. It was also concluded that increase in packing density resulted in increase of stress. There was a decreasing trend of NBT test value in both packing densities as the duration of time increased. There was a statistical significant interaction between the packing density (i.e., 25g/l and 50g/l) and transportation period (i.e., 0h, 6h, 12h, 18h and 24h) on NBT value . In case of double the optimum density results, it was found that up to 12hrs, this density was optimum and after that the stress parameter NBT value . Key words: Catla catla, fingerling, transportation, stress, NBT test

Women writers have made an amazing contribution to literature, science and culture. Present study highlights amazing postmodern science fiction by women writers’ noteworthy literature like Beggars in Spain (1991), by Nancy Kress, The Shore of Women (1986), by Pamela Sargent, and The Daughter That Bleeds (2020), by Shewta Taneja. The study also explores how inferiority and superiority complex plays a vital role in human life for their eternal development? All men and women are not created equal. Everyone can feel engendering feelings of equality and excellence. Devastating nuclear war empower women to come in power in the world, they explored their ideas and dared to reject men power. Women worship fantasy goddesses in shrine. However, whenever they are exiled, they became rebellious and created their own world and fought for equality. Women also raise voices against their oppression and suppression. They have been oppressed for decades; the study focuses on traditional, modern and postmodern female voices accordingly and raises some introspective questions like, is there a voice behind closed doors? Does postmodern literature explore and enhance female voices? Even though women are educated, organized and agitated their voices are suppressed and oppressed. Women writers in postmodern science fiction raise voices against patriarchal societies across the globe. Science fiction has a vital role in the lives of all human beings and relationships. The selected women writer’s works stressed on suppressed inner female voices. Keywords: postmodern science fiction, post-apocalyptic India, oppression, power, equality.

THE BUDDHIST ETHICS AND POLITY: A STUDY ON ASOKA EDICTS

Kirtiraj D. C.

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2020 | Volume/Issue:8/61 | Page No.: 13323 - 13334

The Mauryan Empire reached its height during King Asoka’s regime from around 269 to 232 B.C.E. after a brutal and bloody battle of Kalinga. The War of Kalinga proved to be a turning point for Asoka, since, then after, he rejected violence and embraced Buddhism. The history of Asoka and his towering personality remain hidden for more than 700 years after his demised. It was in the 19 century, British civil servants and officers not only rediscovered Buddhism but also many legendary histories and biographies. One such legendary personality was the most powerful and exemplary king Asoka. His edicts are the historical documents about his rule, his administration and the society existing at that time.At present we have information about more than 33 major and minor edicts built by Asoka spread all over India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. The Asokan edicts are mainly inscribed on rocks, stone pillars and walls of the caves and are concern with his administrative reforms and the moral principles recommended to the common people at large. Theseedicts can be broadly classified on the basis of its content or inscriptions into four categories namely edicts concerning about the Buddhist values and ethics that is about the teaching of Buddha regarding how to live arighteous and moral life. The second category of the edicts talks about the welfare of the people and the administrative measures taken by the King Asoka to look after his people. The third category of the edicts is all about the fair justice, equality in treatment in court and jails and the forth category of edicts are the assurance by the King Asoka to the public about his duty to protect them from the foreign invaders. Why King Asoka erected these edicts? What was the purpose of these edicts? Firstly, he was a ruler of the vast empire with many provinces which he had to look after. Secondly he was desirous of imbibing the teaching of Buddha without imposing on the people. As a king, it was not possible for him to visit all his territories hence; he erected pillars, raised stone slabs and carved out his proclamations. This had brought to him closer to the common people and kept continues rapport with them. As a King he was personally in touch with his subjects instead of depending on and handing them over to his administrative staff. In a rock edict at Kalinga he said, “All men are my children,” whereas in another edict he said, “King is just like a father”. This shows his personal involvement with the people and their welfare (Murti and Aaiyangar, 1950). The present paper is an attempt to study, revisit and highlight the principles of Buddhist ethics that had a great influenced on the personality of King Asoka, his polity and administration and his contribution to the Indian culture and civilisation. Keywords: Asoka, Buddhist Ethics and Asoka edicts.
