The term “Globalization” means integration of economies and societies through cross
country flows of information, ideas, technologies, goods, services, capital, finance and
people. Cross-border integration is multi-dimensional including cultural, social, economic
and political dimensions Globalization brings education to the front lines. An aim is a
conscious purpose which we are apt to set before us. Education is one of the most important
instruments that play their role in Human development. Globalization has created many
opportunities as well as challenges only those nations can benefit from the opportunities
which have acquired the required knowledge and skills. Relevant quality education and
training, predominant in the new environment, promotes a productive and informed citizenry,
and offers opportunities to the socially and economically underprivileged sections of society.

Religion and Spirituality are the two terms which are deeply debated and discussed terms at
different forums, workshops, seminars, and symposia both at national level as well as globally.
Religion to my mind seems to be created by man whereas spirituality is the science of the soul or
spirit that is created by almighty God or Cosmic Intelligence. This paper would expose the
hollowness of all religion of the world and reflect the pettiness of the religious, dogmas and
rituals which do not have any logical significance or meaning. Religion divides where as
spirituality, Integrates; this would in a nutshell be the essence of the research paper. This paper
is approximately divided into 10 sections which are 1. Concepts of Religion and Spirituality 2.
The soul has no religion 3.Duty and Karma 4.Need for a Living Master 5.Ethics and Morality

Issue: Jun-Jul, 2015 | Volume/Issue:2/10 | Page No.: 2462 - 2479
This study sought to establish the determinants of bear market performance by taking a survey of
investors at the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Convenient sampling technique was used to
administer questionnaires to respondents. Data was analyzed by the use of descriptive statistics
and correlation analysis was carried out to determine the relationship between the variables. A
logit regression model was employed to analyze the independent variables and their effect on
bear market performance. The Pearson Moment correlation analysis showed that bear market
performance was weakly associated with transaction costs and financial literacy while the
relationship between bear market performance and mobilization of resources by retail investors
as well as cultural values was largely insignificant. The study recommends that further research
should be carried out on the economic cycle and its influence on bear market performance.

Production of betelvine leaves depended on soil quality, variety of plants, disease
management, water management, control of humidity in the betelvine garden and age of the
vine etc. The economic life of the gardens was considered for eight years. In the first year of
plantation, yield of leaves was less. Harvesting of betel leaves in the first year started after 3-
4 months of plantation. Plucking of betel leaves was done according to type of leaves.
Fapada, kalli and hakkal leaves were harvested separately. The genetic name of the betelvine
leaf was derived from Sanskrit word Pippalli. The betelvine leaves were absolutely
indispensable for celebrating marriages, many religious and social functions. All holy days
used betelvine leaves for creating and preserving reciprocity among friends and relatives.
Betelvine leaves sweeten the mouth and remove bad smell of the mouth. It serve as the best
medicine to remove acidity, cough, indigestion and septic etc. Betel leaves were useful for
curing Asthma, Bronchitis etc. People were habituated to chew betelvine leaves to wipeout
uneasiness and exhaustiveness. Mostly betelvine leaves were used by many in regular
intervals to obtain enthusiasm for all functions to do emotionally. The incomes from the sale
of betelvine leaves were sound and attractive to the cultivators throughout the year. Betelvine
cultivators obtained financial support in the whole year to do many other farming functions.
Farmers collected seasonal income from other crops, while betelvine cultivation produced
income throughout the year to the pleasant survival. Majority of the members of the family
were engaged in the plantation, training of vine, provision of manures, fertilizers, water and

Issue: Jun-Jul, 2015 | Volume/Issue:2/10 | Page No.: 2464 - 2468
Classical Test theory provides easy approach for assessing students’ achievement but it takes
in to account the overall performance of the student in a given test. It ignores the ability of
student to attempt individual test items. We know that all test items are not of the same
difficulty level. Item Response Theory (ITR) helps us to assess students’ performance in more
methodical way. One can analyze an individual students performance using ITR as well as
one can compare performances of individual students belonging to a group. Based on
parameters ITR models are proposed. The present paper tries to explain some basic concepts
related to ITR. Much more explanation and understanding of this concept is needed before it
can be implemented in present education system. ITR may not be the ultimate solution for
making assessment full proof and accurate but it can definitely provide sound basis for more
scientific and systematic approach for assessing students’ proficiency.

developing the values for the protection of environment. Entire life on the earth can survive with
the protection and improvement of the environment and in this way right to environment has
emerged as a human right. The Supreme Court and the High Courts in India have played a
distinguishing role in expanding the scope of a meaningful life by applying various issues of
environmental protection, resulting to that the activities posing threat to the natural resources
were shortened. The judiciary in exercising the power of judicial review and developing the
concept of judicial activism and by using the weapon of PIL have protected the individual\'s
inherent right to wholesome environment as a fundamental right under Art. 21 of the Indian
Constitution. Art. 21 has been trusted in a number of cases as a great tool by way of
interpretation, and specifically certain cases have given a wider perspective of the Right to life.
The right to live in healthy environment, including right to clean and safe drinking water, fresh
and clean air etc., is continuing to gain recognition. This paper tries to discuss diverse
ingredients of Indian environmental jurisprudence. Analytical method of research has been
followed in this piece of research. Focus has also been given on the judicial experiences in the

In the era of technological advancement, several countries have united and transformed through the process of globalization. To benefit from globalization, India adopted a liberalized economic policy in 1991 and integrated its economy with the rest of the world. India viewed globalization as opening up the economy to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) by providing services to foreign companies that could invest in different domains of the country's economy by removing restrictions and riders on the entry of multinational corporations (MNCs). Indian companies could collaborate abroad and encourage them to set up joint ventures abroad. Globalization has also played an important role in export-led growth, leading to the expansion of the job market in India. It is now accepted as the new mantra for economic success worldwide with India and China proving it to some extent.

For much of the later twentieth century a powerful narrative held that the mountains of the Himalaya were caught in a spiral of environmental ruin, in which growing highland populations stripped the forests, triggering erosion in the hills and catastrophic flooding in the plains below. This paper revisits that narrative and the influential reassessment that challenged it. It argues that the crisis narrative, however compelling, rested on weak evidence and a mistaken model of mountain processes, and that the reassessment known as the Himalayan dilemma replaced it with a more honest picture, one marked by deep uncertainty, enormous natural variability, and a complex and often weak link between highland land use and lowland disaster. The paper draws out the lessons of this episode for the geography of mountain environments and for the management of their water. It argues that mountain systems are characterised by a variability and an uncertainty that defeat simple cause-and-effect stories, that confident crisis narratives can do real harm by misdirecting policy and blaming mountain communities unjustly, and that humility before uncertainty is the beginning of wisdom in mountain environmental management.
