The paper attempts to explore the use of technology to enhance communicative skills of 
the learner. In the typical Indian classroom, the teacher is constrained to teach a set of hundred 
students and more. The situation multiplies the responsibility of the teacher, turning the 
classroom all sound and fury and the teaching activity is a laborious process. The context makes 
a rare phenomenon individualized teaching where the need of every learner is taken care of. The 
student remains spiritless and unenthusiastic for he finds himself as an insignificant, unnoticed 
individual lost in a maddening crowd. It is at this critical juncture modern technological 
equipments, otherwise called new instructional media, came to the rescue of the teacher and 
learner and solved two major problems. It let the pace of learning be determined by the learner 
himself, and it made use of lessons prepared by the best teachers to thousands of learners.

This Acceleration of learning is a systematic approach to teaching the whole person, containing 
specific core elements that, when used together, empower students to learn faster, more 
effectively and joyfully. Now a day the acceleration of learning is versatile, encompassing a wide 
variety of new methods and techniques, new findings in diverse fields of education & so on. But 
it must take into account the basic beliefs or theories, assumptions and core elements of 
teaching-learning process.In present paper researchers have tried to weave co-operation, 
democracy & ethics in the daily fabric of classroom life to boost up classroom teaching-learning 
process & developed Co-operative, Democratic & Ethical (CDE) Model. This amalgam recaptured 
the natural learning process and accelerated the thoughtful retention of content when 
implemented on B. Ed students of N.A.G. (P.G.) College, Amroha. These strategies & many more 
in collaboration are most successful when they are implemented in a system that encourages 
teamwork among staff and students, and in which each is a part of a well-planned whole 
system.Moreover, the present model should be applied soon in educational institutions including 
the teacher training institutions i.e. the sacred places where future teachers are prepared by 
teacher educators. There is no hurry, plant a seed of democracy, co-operation & ethics (values) 
in the heart of future teachers & evoke their inward teacher to create a better world of 
education beyond techniques

Teacher education system empowered by ICT-driven infrastructure can have a great 
opportunity to come up to the center stage and ensure academic excellence, quality 
instruction and leadership in a knowledge-based society. The teacher training experience 
that used ICT to develop a project that involved teachers and  also children, parents and 
other members of the educational community. Its aim was to build an Internet site that 
would give information about school life. It\'s an open web space where teachers, parents 
and students can express and share their ideals and activities. The progress of ICT is 
being developed in three interconnected phases: conception, development and 
evaluation.  The most important issue to relate is that the technical or instrumental 
learning is dependent on the ideas and purposes of teachers, students and parents. We 
believe that when we talk about ICT in schools and also in teacher education, we 
shouldn’t only be concerned with the \'means\', that is to say, how to introduce computers 
or how to use a  word processor and Internet resources, but also with the \'ends

Ethics and education are the two sides of the same coin and are complementary to each other. 
The two words, ethics and education are positively interrelated. They together form a 
personality that has potent to encourage a seething mass of people into a nation with unity and 
success. All education is incomplete unless it imbibes ethical dimension in it. The National 
Education Association believes that the education profession consists of one education 
workforce serving the needs of all students and that the term ‘educator’ includes education 
support professionals. The task of each teacher is to bring behavioral changes in students so 
that they become better adjusted in society. Students always imitate their teacher so that 
teacher’s behavior should be ideal. Keeping the above facts in mind, the present study aimed at 
investigating the views or expectations of school students from teachers regarding ethics in profession. Survey Method was followed. For this purpose questionnaire was given to 10th 
standard students who are studying in secondary school. Results show that the demonstration 
of genuine love and affection by teachers for their students is essential for learning to happen. 
Recognizing the potential and talent of each child is the prime responsibility of every teacher. 
Students expect the guidance and help for academic activities in which they are unable to 
perform up to the mark from their teachers.

The ABL approach is unique and effective to attract elementary school students.  In teachinglearning process, two things play the vital roles; one is the delivering capacity of the teacher and the other one is the receiving capacity of the students. Theory with practice on some of the teaching topics, may enable the students to understand the concept easily.  This study investigated the educational experiences and attainment of learning outcomes of students who have gone through the ABL methodology. Taking 50 students of class V, an experiment study was undertaken to find out the effect of Activity- Based Learning (ABL) approach on reading comprehension among Government School Students. It was found that Activity Based Approach is more effective for teaching Reading comprehension of English language. Reason for this effectiveness may be students pay more attention while teacher teach with activity based learning approach. 
 In today’s global world, the importance of English can not be denied and ignored since it 
is the only language which is spoken by most of the countries of the world. It holds a very 
important place because it is only link language of the world. India is a land of diversity and this 
diversity is also visible with respect to language. In various regions of India, people use different 
language as their mother tongue. These people whose mother tongue is other than English, find 
very difficult to speak English.

The present paper is the study of use of images in the play Lear by Edward Bond. While 
reworking on the Lear theme Bond reshapes the image of Lear as a chief source to comment on 
the plight of human societies victimized by the political whims of the ruling class. Through ‘Lear’ 
Bond focuses attention on the contemporary rulers who need to analyze their ideologies by 
thorough rational introspection. With idea of shock treatment, and violent imagery he re-invents 
the notion of catharsis. Like psychoanalysis, his work invokes the dark, hidden layer buried deep 
within the recesses of the audience\\\'s unconscious. Showing violent actions on stage, Bond aims 
at bleeding the abscesses of the mind so that the spectator could confront his real self, his real 
identity. He adds that this kind of theatre helps to understand human beings and humanity and 
all the atrocities are happenings of the past and they present a lesson.

Education brings awareness and is essential for action. In this direction Environmental 
Education provides an understanding of the multi-dimensional problems of depleting resources 
and ever-increasing populations. Environmental Education is a way of creating knowledge, 
understanding, attitudes, skills, abilities and awareness towards the environment and its 
protection. The basic purpose of Environmental Education is to provide individual and social 
groups sufficient scope so that they can acquire awareness and knowledge, develop attitudes, 
skills and abilities and participate in solving real life environmental problems. Though these 
days a section of intelligentsia is becoming conscious, about depleting resources, deteriorating 
standards of life due to ever increasing serious problems of pollution, poverty, population and 
illiteracy, however, still a large section of our society has a very low awareness and sense of 
civic responsibility and growing tendency of indifference and negligence, which is in one way the 
other prevents them from thinking positively well in advance. It is essential, that the teacher 
should himself be fully aware of the environmental problems and day to day activities related to 
the environment. The teacher has to internalize a change in his/her role from one of “giver of 
Knowledge” to one of “facilitator in the learning process”. In this study, the Secondary School 
teachers have been chosen, because Secondary level is a crucial stage when students are found 
more active, inquisitive and enthusiastic and also the author felt that the most pressing need of 
Environmental Education was found at the Secondary level of Education. The present research 
paper attempts to study the effect of Gender and Subject Area on the Environmental Awareness 
of Secondary School Teachers.

Knowledge management (KM) is an emerging field, much tooted or hyped since late 1990s. However, due to the complicated nature of knowledge per se and its consequent management, it is often difficult to estimate or demonstrate the value of knowledge management. Technical libraries, with limited budget and human resources, may hesitate to follow the business sector and plunge into the uncharted sea of knowledge management. This paper suggests a pragmatic approach to the implementation of Knowledge Management for Technical libraries: utilizing the existing staffing, technology, and management structure.

ZnO is a key technological material. ZnO is a wide band-gap (3.37 eV) compound semiconductor that is suitable for short wavelength optoelectronic applications. ZnO is a versatile functional material that has a diverse group of growth morphologies. ZnO nanostructures are easily formed even on cheap substrates such as glass and hence they have a promising potential in the nanotechnology future. ZnO nanocrystals are also attractive for sensor and biomedical application due to its bio-safety and large surface area. ZnO has some advantages over GaN among which are the availability of fairly high-quality ZnO bulk single crystals and a large exciton binding energy (_60 meV). ZnO also has much simpler crystal-growth technology, resulting in a potentially lower cost for ZnO-based devices. The present work involves study Zinc Oxide nanocrystal material by chemical precipitation method for growth of high quality ZnO nanocrystal material studying microstructure and from that correlating the microstructure to its physical, electrical and optical properties. At the beginning, efforts have been made to optimize the deposition conditions. It is needless to mention that the properties of the thin films depend extensively on the growth conditions, which influences its microstructure. Different parameters like substrate temperature, PH of solution, deposition time, speed of rotation etc. were carefully monitored.

Modern business activities rely on extensive email exchange. Email leakages have become 
widespread, and the severe  damage  caused  by  such  leakages  constitutes  a  disturbing  
problem  for  organizations.  We  study  the following  problem:  A  data  distributor  has  given  
sensitive  data  to  a  set  of  supposedly  trusted  agents  (third parties). If the data distributed to 
third parties is found in a public/private domain then finding the guilty party is  a  nontrivial  
task  to  distributor.  Traditionally,  this  leakage  of  data  is handled  by  water  marking  
technique which requires modification of data. If the watermarked copy is found at some unauthorized site then distributor can claim his ownership. To overcome the disadvantages of 
using watermark [2], data allocation strategies are used to improve the probability of identifying 
guilty third parties. The distributor must assess the likelihood that the leaked came from one or 
more agents, as opposed to having been independently gathered by other means. In this project, 
we implement and analyze a guilt model that detects the agents using allocation strategies 
without modifying the original data. The guilty agent is one who leaks a portion of distributed 
data. We propose data allocation  strategies  that  improve  the  probability  of  identifying  
leakages.  In  some  cases  we  can  also  inject “realistic but fake” data record to further 
improve our changes of detecting leakage and identifying the guilty party.  The  algorithms  
implemented  using  fake  objects  will improve  the  distributor  chance  of  detecting  guilty 
agents. It is observed that by minimizing the sum objective the chance of detecting guilty agents 

will increase. We also developed a framework for generating fake objects.

therefore the component of domestic wastewater, which has not originated from the toilet or 
urinal. In general terms, gray water has lower concentration of organic matter, nutrients and 
microorganisms. The concentration of phosphorus, heavy metals and xenobiotic organic 
pollutants are around the same levels. The pollutants of gray water are reduced by a natural 
treatment system (laboratory scale) was the aim of this study. This thesis are to asses the potential reuse of grey water by which to reduce the load of fresh water in the rural region. This

The study of semiconductor nanoparticles has been an interesting field of research for more than two decades. The confinement effect is observed for CdS particles when the particle sizes are equal to or less than 50 Å . Bulk CdS is widely used as a commercial photodetector in the visible spectrum. It is also used as a promising material for buffer layers in thin film solar cells. The optical properties of CdS nanoparticles have been extensively studied in recent years as this material exhibits pronounced quantum size effects. The present work involves the study of nanocrystalline CdS thin films by sol-gel spin coating deposition techniques, studying growth, microstructure, and morphology and from that correlating the microstructure to its physical, electrical and optical properties. To accomplish this aspiration, the entire research work is divided into two parts. At the beginning, efforts have been made to optimize the deposition conditions. It is needless to mention that the properties of the thin films depend extensively on the growth conditions,

Intelligence and intellect as explained by Gilbert Ryle (1995) has adjectives like –clever, 
sensible, careful, methodical, inventive, prudent, acute, logical, witty, observant, critical, 
experimental, quick-witted, cunning, wise, judicious and scrupulous. With retardation or 
disability to this effect or ability of a person is described as deficiency or efficiency in 
intelligence. This deficiency entails an individual to be described as stupid or else by more 
determinate epithets such as dull, silly, careless, rash, dense, illogical, humour-less, slow, 
simple, unwise and injudicious. Both, philosopher and laymen tend to treat intellectual 
operations as the core mental conduct, that is to say, they tend to define all other mental conduct 
concepts in terms of concepts of cognition. They suppose that the primary exercise of mind 
consists of finding answers to questions and that their other occupations are merely operations 
of considered truths or even regrettable distractions from their consideration. On exercising 
intelligence, it is explained further that, while considering one\\\'s abilities and propensities on 
which his performance is actualized, the concept of practice comes to rescue as his performance 
was pre disposed to his capacity for rigorous practice that lay the superiority of men over 
animals. How the systems of human ecological conditions affect this phenomenon of cognizance 
development in individuals for determining their "self" is assessed in this article. Special 
consideration is paid on cognition development and factors leading to intellectual disability vis
a-vis mental retardation as discussed in the light of important findings of stalwarts in the field.

Dams have had serious impacts on the lives, livelihood, culture and spiritual existence of indigenous people. Moreover, the physical environmental conditions of area have led towards drastic changes and drastic changes in the existing climatic conditions have been observed over the period of time. People have been suffering disproportionately in this process of development since the inception of these developmental initiatives due to neglect and ignorance to secure justice with nature as well as with human being who are either living in the vicinity or in the area. 
Initially, development means fulfillment of basic needs for survival, but today development means construction of multi-story buildings, industries and construction of dams. Today, everybody talks about development but nobody is giving attention towards the environmental degradation which is further creating a natural imbalance. Development in Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) is essential, but at what cost? The developmental initiatives by creating natural imbalance and disturbing fanatic bio-diversity including human being in IHR is neither desirable nor justifiable.  
Present paper is an attempt to understand the status of water resources in Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) and highlights an amount of disturbance in physical environment because of the construction of power projects in Himachal Pradesh. The state is blessed with five perennial major rivers, giving meaning to the lives of millions of people directly or indirectly. Moreover, at present state is proceeding toward “Hydroelectric State” which is undoubtly a noble idea but the cost attached to it must be taken care of.  
The paper is an analytical attempt of the researcher to understand the cost of construction of dams in terms of natural as human. The disturbances in natural setting are creating disturbances in physical environment on the one hand and disturbances in the lives of flora as well fauna including human beings on the other, are inviting disasters. These disturbances have been studied by using secondary data and observations recorded by the researcher during data collection.

A generation ago, parents could monitor their children’s’ social activity much more easily. The 
social activity would include playing with friends, meeting on playgrounds or at a common 
friend’s place. Today, social networking web sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, Myspace 
and the accessibility of the smart phones, computers  and the internet has not only altered but 
probably enhanced the children’s social activity. Social networking sites are here to stay and not 
only children but also the adults are being attracted to this phenomenon.   
Your kids could be sitting right in front of you and probably interacting “silently” with their 
friends or with people you don’t even know. All of a sudden your child has started spending too 
much time on these SNS rather than interacting, with friends as close as your neighbor. Hence 
the following research was an attempt to find out the influence of Social Networking Sites on 
adolescence.  The study revealed SNS has major influence on interpersonal relations followed by 
education. SNS has influenced 45.60% on the interpersonal relations of the adolscence and 
42.84% on their education. It has also influenced the health of the adolscence by 34.76%. 
Besides these, the behavior of adolscence is influenced by only 24%.

The entirety of CSR can be discerned from the three words this phrase contains: corporate, social, and responsibility. CSR covers the relationship between corporations (or other large organizations) and the societies with which they interact. CSR also includes the responsibilities that are inherent on both sides of these relationships. CSR defines society in its widest sense and on many levels, to include all stakeholder and constituent groups that maintain an ongoing interest in the organization’s operations. Society acts as fertilizer for business to grow, right from providing a ground till flourishing it successfully .The concept of corporate social responsibilities originated in the year 1950 in USA.   Corporate social responsibility is not a difficult concept and can be explained as Corporate – means organized business, Social - means everything dealing with the people, Responsibility - means accountability between the two. The term corporate social responsibility (CSR) what is generally understood is that business has an obligation to society that extends beyond its obligation to its shareholders or owners. The philosophy is basically to give back to the society, what it has taken from it, during profit maximization and wealth creation it could take the form of community relationship, volunteers assistance programmes, healthcare initiatives, special education, training programme and scholarship, preservation of cultural heritage and environment etc. CSR also called as CR or corporate citizenship and responsible business CSR is a concept whereby it considers the interest of society by taking   responsibility for the impact of their activities on customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders, communities, and other stakeholders and the environment. There is no single commonly accepted definition of corporate social responsibility but the following US-UK tradition it can be defined as  “Corporate social responsibility is operating a business in a manner which meets or excels the ethical, legal, commercial and public expectations that a society has from the business. ‘In the last twenty years, there has been a sea change in the nature of the triangular relationship between companies, the state and the society. No longer can firms continue to act as independent entities regardless of the interest of the general public. The evolution of the relationship between companies and society has been one of slow transformation from a philanthropic coexistence to one where the mutual interest of all the stakeholders is gaining paramount importance. Companies are beginning to realise the fact that in order to gain strategic initiative and to ensure continued existence, business practises may have to be moulded  from the normal practise of solely focussing on profits to factor in public goodwill and responsible business etiquettes(Reynard and Forstater, 2002).

Geomorphology deals with surface features of the earth, their forms, origin and 
development. The increasing application of geomorphic interpretation through aerial 
photographs and satellite data facilitates the understanding of the relationship between 
landforms, habitat and planning processes. The study was conducted in Great Himalayan National Park Conservation Area (GHNPCA, 1,171 km2) in Himachal Pradesh.    
Mapping of major units were done by using satellite imageries (FCC of IRS 1-B LISS 
II Sept/Oct 1993, scale 1:50,000). Geomorphological mapping of the area was the main aim 
to understand the habitat and its relation with impact on management and conservation 
schemes.  Nine categories have been delineated taking into account the topographical 
features also.  Area under different categories has been determined- the total length of the major water divides and prominent facets calculated about 723.08 km2.). Aerial estimation of escarpments was about 33.82 km2 (3%). Exposed Rocks (2%), Alpine Exposed Rocks 
(13%), Escarpment (3%), Glacier (2%) and Moraines cover about 2% area. Besides that 
other topographical features have also been generated like; slope aspect, contour, drainage 
density, terrain complexity and digital elevation model.

Right from birth of a child every parent tries to teach self-control to their baby. The reason behind it 
might be, they think that this self-control will help their child in many areas of life. The most 
important thing is, they will not get embarrassed in front of other society members due to their 
child’s behavior. When the child obeys his/her parents order or behave as they teach, the child is 
adjusting with his/her surroundings. To get adjusted with our surroundings we have to control 
ourselves to somewhat extent. It is generally seen that when there is adjustment, things go smoothly. 
When a person unable to adjust loses control or when he loses self-control faces difficulty in 
adjustment.  It is general observation but as a researcher, the researcher wanted to study if there is 
any significant co-relation between self-control and different types of adjustment 
For this purpose the researcher worked on M. Ed. students and found out their Self-control and 
different types of adjustment. The significance of co-relation was found out and no significant 
correlation found in 1) self control and home adjustment and 2) self control and health adjustment

An attempt has been made to explore the possibility of developing a spiritual 
approach in controlling violence in the students. The approach is based on unity in 
diversity on the basis of three parameters. Firstly, all the human beings contain 
same five gross elements: earth, water, fire, air and ether. Secondly, same soul, an 
essence of God/Lord resides in all the beings and thirdly, creator of all the beings 
is God and he is one and the same. This knowledge of oneness leaves little scope

 India is one of the major growing marketplaces in the world, together with a population of over one billion.  It is considered as one of the prominent nations in the world in terms of purchasing power. After the market reform in the year 1991, India gradually opened up its economy to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in a wide range of sectors. At present, India can breadth fresh oxygen coming out from such a suffocating situation. India is the top most eye-catching country for FDI among the rest of the markets in the world. As a matter of fact, FDI in the vibrant Indian retail sector should it be without restraint permitted and should it be significantly inspired. Indian retail sector is one of the rising sectors which have an enormous opportunity for attracting FDI.  It is predictable that FDI will speed up the growth of organized retail and will bring many more foreign retailers to India. The current revolutions brought in the retail sector by the government has made the retail sector to have many retailers for India. A number of concerns were squeezing out with respect to the partial beginning of the retail sector (multi-brand retail) for FDI. Whether it would lead to partial competition and finally result in the large-scale walking out of domestic retailers, especially the small family managed outlets, foremost to large scale movement of persons working in the retail sector or will create more employment. Moreover, the structure and procedure of foreign direct investment in the retail sector have improved a lot since India has opened ready for world markets. This has powered high prospects that FDI in retail may help as a channel for the better economic growth of India.

 Email has revolutionised workplace communication and has changed the way people communicate at work. It has been established that email is more effective and more versatile a medium than the prevailing forms of organizational communication. According to Baron, even within email, there is vast linguistic variation (162). She notes that ‘‘email is a communicative modality in flux’’ and more ‘‘a moving linguistic target than a stable system’’ (144). In their study, Nahar Al-Ali and Sahawneh (40-64) state that e-mail has “pragmatic and social functions.” The pragmatic function is obvious in its use in the academic and business environments. The social function consists in the mail’s privacy in that it enables participants to interact in a less constrained way than when face-to-face. (Baron 205).Emails are therefore crucial to any analysis of workplace communication, and more specifically are very important data that helps in exploration of the ways in which workplace relations are constructed and negotiated throughout people’s working days. For any study of workplace emails to be successfully undertaken, it is necessary that the concepts of Computer mediated Communication (CMC), Computer Mediated Discourse (CMD), synchronicity and corporate sector be understood. This will be followed by an explanation of the growth and rapid expansion of emails, which have replaced traditional modes of official communication like memos, letters and face-to-face communication, in business houses.

The foreign policy of a state is determined by its geography, history, culture and its people and the same goes in context of India. When it comes for South Asian and South East Asian region, India has been on natural higher ground because of its rich historical, geographical and cultural connections with the whole region. Despite of all that India’s relation with South East Asian region is kind of a sine cosine function i.e. with ups and downs in phases. Though in the past India has been closely linked with the region, there was time when the south East Asian region has not occupied the focus of Indian foreign policy makers. However there has been a course correction of late and India has started giving prime importance to this region. In the 1990s that India articulated her ‘Look East Policy'(LEP) that initiated India's foreign policy focus on south east Asian countries. According to LEP’s viewpoint India's future interests are best served by the integrating with the Southeast Asian countries. This was built on a massive historical and cultural foundation.
