 Knowledge enables an individual to think, to analyze and to understand the existing situation, and the inter-linkages and externalizations of each action. It empowers an individual to form his or her own opinion, to act and transform conditions to lead to a better quality of life. Knowledge societies are generally characterized with the ability to create, share upon the general well-being of the people as well as making it possible for them to prosper. The knowledge-based society can offer tremendous potential for reducing social exclusion, both by creating the economic conditions for greater prosperity through higher levels of growth and employment. The Indian education system improvement is required at many levels– from primary schools to higher education and research institutions of national excellence. At all levels, there is a need to improve both access and excellence. Research in the field of the human social sciences plays a fundamental role in understanding and managing the many ways in which society is currently changing. The increasing extent of services in the pace of technological changes, the advanced level of information and knowledge, as well as the size of the industrial and social re-organizations, all give good arguments in favor of the knowledge based society. ICT is used to ensure rapid, cost effective and reliable communication, networking and access to and publication of information which, in turn, is used to enhance productivity, education and development. In a society of the future, education will play an essential role in creating the new way of life specific to knowledge and learning based society. In order to create a world class knowledge society, every one of us has to be knowledge worker. This paper describes the importance of creating a knowledge based society for making India a powerful country.

Literate Society: Need of Time

Satish Shirsath

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2012 | Volume/Issue:1/1 | Page No.: 40 - 44

 Education leads to expected change in human beings. Though education comprises non formal and informal streams, there is a general conception that education lies in formal stream. The meaning of literacy changes place to place & time to time. It should be continued. Otherwise there is a fear that re-lapsation of it will lead to illiteracy again. In the current scenario of globalization many more aspects are needed to be studied by a person; at least fundamentals of many things should be known to persons. The institutions providing no formal education can fulfill this requirement. In this case literacy (not mere alphabetical) can be described as imparting & acquiring fundamental aspects in particular area. After independence, we tried to make our nation self-sufficient. Time has come to make individuals self-sufficient. For that, there is a need to make each individual literate. It can lead to Literate Society.

Quality is an important issue in Higher Education. Despite a vast network, the institutions that are in focus on the world or nation ranking are very few. There is an apprehension that Indian HEIs cannot produce ‘world class’ institution to compete in present day context. While many universities in India provide general as well as professional education, there are some universities which exclusively provide professional education, and some exclusively general. No plan for the future development of the country can be deemed to be complete which does not provide for quality education. So Government of India decides to introduce Foreign Education Instructional Bill for the development of qualitative Higher Education. The proposed Bill mentioned that FEIs are going to enjoy complete freedom to set curriculum, charge fee whatever they feel appropriate and the Reservation Quota law will not be applicable to Foreign Universities setting up campus. Many educationalist and political parties criticize this bill to provide complete freedom to the foreign universities. But If we go by the history of globalization in India we see that a section of people and political parties were against the entrance of Multi National Companies in India. Some people also had the view that the MNC\'s will take over Indian companies and will rule Indian markets. When we see the results today it is altogether different.

Universalization of Elementary Education (UEE) has been accepted as a national goal in India since Independence. The founding fathers of Indian Constitution recognized UEE as a crucial input for nation building. In this context, about 60 years ago, Article 45 of the Indian Constitution (1950) stated that: The State shall endeavour to provide, within a period of ten years from the commencement of this Constitution, for free and compulsory education for all children until they complete the age of fourteen years. When the target could not be achieved till 2001, Indian Government started its flagship programme named as `The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan’ in 2001. It was, therefore, thought worthwhile to undertake the present piece of research with an objective to evaluate the `National Program of Universal Elementary Education’ known as Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) launched in 2001 in Himachal Pradesh with respect to quality improvement at elementary Stage.

Download Article
Generally it is believed currency depreciation of a country has a positive that is expansionary impact on its output and aggregate demand. Since devaluation lowers the export prices and raises the prices of import and this leads to an improvement in the foreign sector of the economy. The improvement in the foreign sector raises output and employment in the overall economy. Thus currency devaluation or depreciation has a positive effect on its output. On the other hand it is also found that currency depreciation may not necessarily increase the level of output especially in a less developed economy. Since Exchange rate depreciation raises the cost of imported inputs, leading to a decrease in aggregate supply. Under these circumstances in this paper investigates the effects of currency depreciation on the growth of output of the economy of Pakistan for the time period 1993 to 2009. This study finds Currency depreciation has expansionary effect on output growth in the short run but in the long run currency depreciation is contractionary on output growth in the economy of Pakistan.

 Automotive Industry demands the robustness of the designed vehicle which suits the needs or
expectations of the potential customers. Characteristicssuch as costs, design appeal, cabin
comfort, infotainment functionality, agility,passive safety, theft deterrence, reliability or
sustainability are the main factors inthe purchasing decision. Instead of vehicle engines power
and torque, the customer cares about vehicles acceleration, maximum speed, wind noise and the
energy costs. Nowadays, transportation safety efforts focus on crashworthiness, crash
avoidance,driver performance, and highway construction. Over the past decade automakershave
added many features to help the driver avoid a crash, such as anti-lockbraking systems, traction
control devices and daytime running lamps. Vehiclesalso include many crashworthiness features
such as rigid steel occupant-cellssurrounded by strategically placed, energy absorbing
components.In addition,vehicles are equipped with an impressive array of restraint systems such
asenergy-absorbing steering columns, three-point belts, front and side air bags andhead
restraints to reduce the risk of injury.

HUMAYUN’S STRUGGLE WITH THE RISING POWERS OF NORTHERN INDIA

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2012 | Volume/Issue:1/1 | Page No.: 169 - 187

Download Article
This paper epitomises the struggle and the defeat of Humayun by the rising powers of India. The empire whose foundation was so arduously laid by Babur was nevertheless precarious and unstable in character. As soon as Humayun ascended the throne, he found himself surrounded by the difficulties on all sides in many ways. Babur had of course, defeated the Indian powers like the Rajputs, the Afghans etc., but he could not completely crush them. Babur could not do anything more than this short period of four years. In fact, the roots of Mughal dynasty had not yet gone deep into the Indian soil and were then, of course in firm. Muhammad Lodhi, Ibharim Lodhi‟s brother, had regained power in Bihar and eastern provinces after his defeat in the Battle of Gogra. Another Afghan Sardar Sher Khan had also consolidated his position considerably. Of the Afghan Sardars he was the most capable and intelligent leader, who was engaged day and night in consolidating and organising all the scattered Afghan power. On the other side, Bhadur Shah who was a very courageous and ambitious ruler had considerably improved strength, and was eagerly engaged in his effort to obtain the Delhi throne. The Rajputs too, had begun to reorganise their power after their defeats in the battles of Khanwa and Chanderi. According to Lanepoole, “His (Humayun‟s) name means fortunate and never was an unlucky sovereign so miscalled‟‟, As a matter of fact, the royal throne that he inherited from his father as his successor, was bed of throns and not that of roses.

RUSKIN BOND AND NATURE: TWO INDISPENSIBLE NOUNS

Mr. Yatharth N. Vaidya

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2012 | Volume/Issue:1/1 | Page No.: 211 - 219

Download Article
The present research paper proposes to study the renowned Indian writer, Ruskin Bond, in terms of his dearly love towards nature. No other Indian writer has expressed his/her love for nature/country in a better way than Ruskin Bond. To put it in his own words, the researcher puts the quote of Ruskin Bond as he himself has said, “I am as Indian as the dust of plains or the grass of a mountain meadow.” (Bond, VII – IX). The paper also distinguishes Bond‟s presentation of Nature from other Indian Writers. The researcher has taken into account select fiction of Ruskin Bond to ponder his love for nature. The researcher proposes to study the social, cultural, economic and geographical image of North India in the novels and short stories of Ruskin Bond. The researcher proposes to examine in what way Ruskin Bond has been able to do justice to the emotional development of his characters in such a setting. Ruskin Bond‟s case is not of dual inheritance but of double inheritance. Bond grew up in changing India and his loyalty always remained with and still remains with India. After the Independence most of the Britishers migrated to their native country but very few who were very old to migrate or who did not have financial support, stayed in India. Though most of English and Anglo Indian families returned to U.K., many of these families chose to remain in India. Ruskin Bond and his mother‟s family were among such „whites‟ settled into peaceful town Dehra. When others were passing through post colonial trauma of displacement, of loss of country, Friends and parents, of insecurity and of finance, Bond, it was only a trauma of a loss of identity. He tried to search his roots in India. (Aggarwal, 66-67)

Teacher professional development has taken place in isolation and has been dependent upon input
from outside “experts” (Sandholtz, A companion of direct and indirect professional development
activities. Professional development for teachers is the range of formal and informal processes and
activities that teachers engage in both inside and outside of the school, in order to improve their
teaching knowledge and skills. As an alternative, collaborative action research actively involves
teachers in professional reflection, validates educators as producers of knowledge, and recognizes
their role in professional development and decision making. The value of teacher research is well
documented (Cochran–Smith & Lytle, Inside outside: teacher research and knowledge, Teachers
College Press, New York, 1993) but unless deliberate attempts to share findings are established, the
products of teacher research often remain within individual classrooms. Strategies to develop
collaborative research capabilities are needed. The ultimate goal of teacher professional development
is improving student learning outcomes. Research indicates that teachers have control over many
factors that influence motivation, achievement and behavior of their students. Therefore, professional
development focusing on effective classroom management will enhance a teacher’s skills and
performance in the classroom. Skills such as effective classroom management are vital to teaching
and require common sense, consistency, a sense of fairness and courage. The skills also require that
teachers understand the psychological and developmental levels of each student. The ability of
teachers to organize classrooms and manage the behavior of their students is critical for achieving
positive educational outcomes. Although sound behavior management does not guarantee effective
instruction, it establishes the environmental context that makes good instruction possible.
Reciprocally highly effective instruction reduces, but does not eliminate, classroom behavior
problems. Effective classroom management competencies also significantly influence the persistence
of new teachers in the classroom. Effective classroom management requires a comprehensive
approach that should include structuring the school and classroom environment, actively supervising
student engagement, implementing classroom rules, enacting procedures that encourage appropriate
behavior, using behavior reduction strategies and collecting and using data to monitor student
behavior and modifying classroom management procedures. Therefore in teacher preparation
programs greater emphasis needs to be placed on preparing teachers to be competent and efficient at
managing today’s classrooms with their diverse range of learners. This approach means not only
giving preservice teachers the intellectual understanding of the issuesinvolved but also providing
them supervised experience related to components of classroom management. The purpose of this
paper is to provide research and recommendations related to professional development of teachers,
specifically addressing the area of classroom management to improve learning outcomes

SECTARIAN AND ETHNIC MARGINALISATION IN GILGIT-BALTISTAN

Kulvinder Singh

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2012 | Volume/Issue:1/1 | Page No.: 231 - 245

Download Article
The construction of the Karakoram Highway in the 1980s, which connected this once inaccessible region to Pakistan and rest of the world, changed the profile of the region.  Initially, it brought with it feelings of openness, connectivity, hope and business opportunities with China but it ushered in unprecedented socio-cultural and economic change in Gilgit and Baltistan.  It also altered work patterns as well as the social, political and cultural landscape, and agricultural practices and worst of all, it also brought with it outsiders, who have managed to spread fanaticism in the area and change the unique culture of the region which was strongly seeped in its Buddhist past.  Many residents complain that they were ill prepared to embrace the \'change\', these outsiders wish to impose.  Both Iranian Revolution and Talibanisation of Afghanistan have had deep impact in the region and have brought in clerics who are keen to establish their own brand of puritanical Islam in the region.The paper attempts to analyse the attempts of Pakistani establishment to forcibly assimilate Gilgit-Baltistan, a part of Pakistani occupied Kashmir into Pakistan by changing the demographic character and the local population’s violent reactions to these attempts at marginalising them.  The local inhabitants have a unique culture of their own and follow different strands of Shiaism.

ASSUMPTIONS OF FARMERS ABOUT GST IN AGRICULTURE IN SPECIAL REFERENCE TO DISTRICT MATHURA (UP)

Ragini Agrawal

Issue: Jul-Aug, 2012 | Volume/Issue:1/1 | Page No.: 291 - 294

Download Article
This survey based research is related to the speculations of the farmers of district Etawah- UP; bout present tax regime under GST. The newly implemented indirect tax regime is influencing the agriculture industry and farmers. GST was a long-awaited tax reform since Independence, that was passed by both houses of Parliament including Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha and came into effect from 1st July 2017 across India. The GST Council has announced the 5 percent GST rates on agricultural products. The high rate of GST on farm machinery, including threshers, rotavators, laser levellers etc and agriculture implements, is likely to hit manufacturers and the farmers. At present, there is no excise duty and also no VAT on farm machines and implements in most of the states. Almost every farmer in the country use farm machinery and equipment either by taking it on rent or by purchasing, so the increase in prices of implements will increase their input cost. This will put an extra burden on farmers as manufacturers would be compelled to increase the prices. Thus, the imposition of taxes will act as a stumbling block in farm mechanization, which will hit farmers and ultimately affect the productivity. The move by the Central government to impose 12% duty on farm machinery agricultural farm machinery ( harvester equipment, tractor farm equipment, combine harvesters and tractors) will hit the industry hard as it will push the prices of the finished product, putting an extra burden on the farming community. The farmers were expecting the government to fix a GST rate of 5% which would have reduced the burden on farmers but that did not happen. The Farmers of District Etawah (UP), are disappointed by the taxation under GST ; As they were expecting relaxation on agricultural products and equipments. The present GST rates/ taxation policies for agriculture sector are being considered against farmer welfare, by the farmers of the district. Key Words : Speculation, agriculture sector, farm mechanization, GST.

The position of women throws considerable light on the cultural development of any society. It can be taken as the reflection of the excellence viz. a viz. limitation of that particular society. Almost every nation in the world has its own cultural peculiarities and accomplishments, which it adores and feels proud of. Apart from the milestones achieved by a nation throughout its long-standing history, it sometimes falls short of the expected growth and advancements in every sphere. India has a unique and great history with unprecedented accomplishments in different fields, which it may boast of having achieved. Still, the nation despite of great progress in almost every sphere has some shortcomings or problems, which it faced at many a time throughout its growth. One of such problems of Indian society, according to many scholars is the inferior position accorded to women. They opine that the women generally do not enjoy equal status and their condition is far from satisfactory. The position and status of women in India according to them is low despite being considered and adored as “goddess” and “shakti”. At one hand, she is considered the embodiment of power or shakti but on the other, there is the concept of this power having to be controlled and channelized by her male counterpart. It has been a general notion that the foreign invasions were one of the major factors for the deterioration of the position and status of women in India as the nation in general and the northern part of the country, in particular, was prone to such repeated invasions. The present study, in this context, is aimed at probing the condition, status and position of Indian women during the age of the imperial Kushanas who were migrants from central China. The literary works compiled during the period under study supplemented by the epigraphic record of the contemporary period is the basis of the observation and analysis. Key Words: Kushanas, Rigveda, Brahamana, Smritis, Niyoga, Stridhana.

IS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ALWAYS THE CAUSE FOR CORPORATE SCAM

Download Article Certificate
The concept of corporate governance gained wide popularity in 190S to improve the effectiveness of corporate enterprises. Attention on role of corporate governance in economic development came as a consequence of adopting market-based approaches in defining economic policies. It attempts to remove corporate failures and dis-satisfaction of the stakeholders. In the era of globalisation, corporate governance plays an important role. Since reliance on private sector increased, it led to greater concern on how corporations operate and control and how suppliers of funds get fair return on their investments. Corporate governance aims to achieve balance between all the interests present in corporations: management, shareholders and other stakeholders. The corporate governance framework ensures that timely and accurate disclosure is made on all material matters regarding the corporation, including the financial situation, performance and ownership. It ensures that corporate managers run their businesses successfully and take care of long-term interests of their stakeholders. It improves capital efficiency of companies and attempts to deploy their wealth in productive areas of the economy.

MEASURING THE LIMITS: WATER SCARCITY INDICATORS AND THEIR DISCONTENTS

Few ideas have shaped water policy as powerfully as the claim that the world is running short of water, and few have been measured as crudely. This paper examines the indicators by which water scarcity is judged and asks how well they serve the purposes to which they are put. It argues that the dominant volumetric indicators, which compare the water available in a country or basin to the number of people who must share it, offer a useful first approximation but mislead when taken as more than that, because they average over the variability, the quality, and the access that in practice determine whether people have the water they need. Drawing on the critical assessment of scarcity measurement, the paper distinguishes physical scarcity, where the resource itself is insufficient, from economic scarcity, where water exists but the means to capture and deliver it do not, and shows that the two call for quite different responses. It concludes that scarcity is better understood as a relationship between water, people, and institutions than as a ratio, and that indicators which ignore this relationship risk directing effort toward the wrong problem.

Keywords: water scarcity; indicators; physical scarcity; economic scarcity; water availability
