DOMESTIC WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT IN SATELLITE TOWNS AROUND NAIROBI CITY: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MLOLONGO AND RUIRU IN KENYA

Wallace Mochu & Gerryshom Munala

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 2659 - 2677

Management of domestic wastewater has a direct impact on the environmental health of urban dwellers and the general physical condition of an urban settlement. This paper analyses domestic wastewater management in Mlolongo and Ruiru towns in Kenya. The methodology applied for the study was by survey through observation of wastewater systems in the neighbourhood, and interviews of home owners and tenants, and selected key County Government informants. The study revealed Mlolongo relied entirely on decentralized systems while Ruiru had a hybrid system consisting of pockets with centralized system but the larger areas relying on decentralized systems. The study revealed that 98% of the residents in Mlolongo rely on septic tanks, conservancy pits, and pit latrines while 48% of residents in Ruiru depend on septic tanks and communal toilets for their domestic wastewater management. The domestic wastewater systems were rated to be very poor by over 50% of the residentswith little or no participation by the residents in their management. The study demonstrated that the decentralized wastewater systems covered the entire satellite towns under study. 68% of residents in Mlolongo and 48% of the residents in Ruiru share their wastewater collection facilities with more than 15 persons. On sustainability, the study revealed low score from managerial, organizational, environmental, planning, and financial perspective. A sustainable model of managing domestic wastewater in satellite towns has been developed that aims at recognizing the need of recovering resources from the domestic wastewater while minimizing the user costs.

Keywords: decentralized management, domestic wastewater, Mlolongo, Ruiru, satellite towns

MANDATORY CSR SPENDING- A NEW SOURCE FOR TRANSFORMING RURAL INDIA

Mr. Shingade B.N. & Wakchaure R.N.

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 2699 - 2707

 The emerging concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goes beyond charity and requires the companies to act beyond its legal obligations and to integrate social, environmental and ethical concerns into company’s business process. The concept of CSR demands businesses to operate transparently and responsibly with the considerations of its stakeholders and the community at the forefront, beyond what is legally required to them. India is the first country in the world making CSR mandatory by law. Govt. and Regulators have responded to the National Voluntary Guidelines for Social, Environmental and Economic Responsibilities of business. Supporting to this the CSR clause   within the companies Act 2013 is introduced. According to Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) more than 6000 Indian companies will be required to undertake the CSR projects in order to comply with the provisions in the Act. Further some estimates also indicate that CSR commitments from companies in India can amount to more than 20,000 Crore INR, following at least 15-20% growth every year as per growth of business sector. If only 50% amount of this huge spending by corporates is diverted to rural India, no doubt in coming ten years the face of Rural India will be defiantly changed. Considering CSR activities listed in schedule VII of the new Companies Act 2013, a big part of CSR spending will now automatically be diverted to rural areas, which will be useful not only for upgrading overall rural infrastructure but also for improving the living standard of rural peoples.

Key words: CSR Spending, Companies Act 2013, Clause 135, Schedule VII, Rural India etc.

THE OCCURRENCES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE CITY OF PUNE – A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

Parul Parihar & B.T.Lawani

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 2706 - 2724

 The public acceptance towards domestic violence against women reveals the underlying traditional beliefs that support gender discrimination in India. Traditional beliefs alone, however, are not the sole cause of female disempowerment in India. On an individual basis, lack of social support (e.g.; access to family), legal authority (e.g.; inheritance laws), and physical intimidation, can all limit a woman’s empowerment- including her autonomy, decision making, health, ability to question her position, and confidence to confront domestic violence. India’s gender inequality ensures that violence against women in the home is generally unchallenged whilst, this domestic violence itself is an impediment to female empowerment. The present study reveals the corresponding causes and other social and cultural factors facilitating this gruesome crime in our country with a statistically tested sample study carried over using the basic tools and sociological methodology. The basic aim is to understand the personality vs. social criteria in evaluating the varied dimensions of domestic violence against women in a post modern society.

GROUNDED THEORY DESIGN A NEW APPROACH OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

Kasture Padmaja B.

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 2725 - 2729

The Basic idea of the grounded theory approach is to read a textual database and discover or label variables (called categories, concepts and properties) and their interrelationships. Data could be observations of behavior, such as interactions and events. A Grounded theory design is a systematic, qualitative procedure used to generate a theory that explains, at a broad conceptual level, a process, an action, or an interaction about a substantive topic. This design was developed by sociologists Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss in the late 1960s. We use grounded theory when we need a broad theory or explanation of a process. Grounded theory generates a theory when existing theories do not address our problem or the participants that we plan to study.

At present, there is no central institute exclusive engaged in betelvine research. In 1981, the All India co-ordinated Research Project on Betelvine was carried out in nine centers located in eight agricultural universities and National Botanical Research Institute, Lucknow. The head quarter of the Project is located at the Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bangalore. In the village area of Kasbe Digraj, nearby eight kilometers from Sangli city, the agricultural research centre, the All India Co-cordinated Research Project on Betel vine was running. But the All India Co-cordinated Research Project on Betel vine at Kasbe Digraj is also closed during last three years. Betelvine grew under good supply of soil moisture humidity. It grew vigorously in areas where a required rainfall was assured. Betelvine was grown in open but conservative wind supply. The betelvine was grown strongly and healthy in the natural environment. Betelvine cultivation needed shade and support by planting quick and rapid growing trees such as shevari Sesbania aegyptiaces poir, Pangara  Enythrina India lam mulberry morus alba linn. and Drumstick Moringa oleifera lam. In the paper attempt was made to study the disease management practices of betel vine in the selected research area and analyses the loss of yield of betelvine due to different diseases

Key Words: Betelvine diseases and disease management

Job satisfaction is the result of various attitudes, which the employees hold towards their job, towards related factors and towards life in general. Also, the term job satisfaction describes how pleased an employee is with his/her position of employment.

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 2821 - 2829

\"\"There are three basic need of human being, namely, food, shelter and clothes. In order to fulfill this need mankind involves in “occupation”. Occupational structure also influences the socio-economic development of an area (Henry, S. 1971). Any change in the occupational structure may be an indication of economic growth. Besides economic development, occupational structure and composition also throws enough light on the social inequality of the area. (Maurya, 1989). The significance of occupational distribution of population of a region lies in the fact that, it clearly reveals the socio-economic characteristics of the people living that particular region. It is, hence, one of the important measures of socio-economic development of the country. In this research the study is dealing with the dimensions of occupational structure relating to the population of the Ahmednagar tahsil; eventual rural urban differential are also analyzed

Key wards: occupational structure, economic growth, social inequality, rural-urban difference.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AMONG UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN RELATION TO THEIR STREAM OF STUDY AND AREA OF RESIDENCE

Rajvir Singh

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 2830 - 2845

Environment has influenced and shaped our lives since the time immemorial. Existence of human life is totally impossible without the existence of environment. On one hand environment influences the life of human beings and all their activities in one or other aspect, simultaneously on the other hand human beings also through their growth & development; and activities, desires & intentions for modification or adjustment influences the environment. Over the period, the greed of man, ignorance of environment and its significance for so long and the lack of respect for available natural resources across the globe resulted in over exploitation of environment in name of industrialisation, urbanisation and development and hence had put the life sustaining environment in peril. This anthropogenic impact on the environment has posed danger to man’s existence on this earth and hence ‘Environment’ has become the concern of all across the globe in the present era. Although a number of initiatives were made; acts and policies were framed; projects and programmes were launched; special drives, campaign and activities were organised in this direction by all nations in order to ensure sustainable development; but despite all such efforts from various governmental, non-governmental and other agencies there found some studies by the researcher that reported contradictory and contrasting results in this context. Also the report – The Global Urban Ambient Air Pollution Database, released by World Health Organization (WHO) in June, 2016 showed that air pollution is mounting in India’s upcoming towns and cities; and half of world’s 20 most polluted cities are in India. The researcher has undertaken the present study in order to explore whether the undergraduate students of District Ambala possessed adequate level of environmental awareness or not. Researcher has also tried to explore that whether there existed any difference in level of environmental awareness of undergraduate students of District Ambala in relation to their stream of study and their area of residence, or not; as some studies in past reported contradictory and contrasting results in context of relationship of environmental awareness of students with their stream of study and area of residence. The researcher conducted the present study by drawing a true representative sample of 224 undergraduate students studying in government/ government aided colleges situated in District Ambala and employing ‘Environmental Awareness Ability Scale (EAAS)’, constructed and standardized by Dr. Praveen Kumar Jha (1998) as research tool for measuring the level of environmental awareness of undergraduate students. Data gathered was analysed and interpreted by using statistical techniques like mean, S.D. and t-test.

Keywords: Environmental awareness, harmonious equilibrium, anthropogenic impact, sustainable development, environmental attitude, environmental sensitivity and environmental education.

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 2846 - 2853

 Market is an essential element in any human settlement. In a city region market is the main lifeline and the main reason behind the overall development of the region and its surroundings. A market again in itself holds a variety of aspects and intermingling of different kinds of people as the socio-cultural patterns of the buyers, sellers and others coming into the market area throughout the day, is very different. In this paper the study area thus chosen is of the notable market area in the city of Kolkata known as the Gariahat Market. This market has a long drawn history. It was present here in the city of Kolkata since time immemorial. This market thus has a huge extent and likewise there are also a plenty of difference in the nature of life existing here. There is also a huge diversity in the types of people coming here. People from all classes and from a variety of background come here to shop for their daily needs and also for their pleasure. Thus this market area allows for the accomplishment of a number of things. The pattern of sellers is so much varied that one could hardly realize the difference between the product qualities. The occurrence of so many types of shopkeepers itself is evident enough for the mixing of all classes of people here. In the olden days there were occurrence of only proper shops, may that be small or big but in the current age the occurrence of shops has doubled in number and apart from normal shops the presence of hawkers along the footpaths has been a matter of concern for quite some years now and modern day shopping malls, which are acting like a symbol for the young generation, is increasing in number slowly here. Shoppers thus are getting an easy access to all types of commodities within a short range and thus it is automatically giving a boost to their standard of living. The main aim of this paper is to show a comparison between modern and traditional shops of this market area.

Keywords: Market layout, source areas of goods, diversity of consumers, contrasting perceptions of consumers.

Yogesh Kumar

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 2854 - 2860

 India needs huge funds for the development of different sectors. The domestic funds are not sufficient to fulfill the requirement so external finance is needed. The FDI is one of the best way to get external finance.The overall trend of FDI in India is positive, except some years. The Maharashtra and Delhi NCR regions get 49 percent of total FDI. The FDI is coming in a particular region due to certain reasons. The trend also shows that maximum FDIs are coming from few countries, such as Mauritius (35 percent), Singapore(14 percent) and U.K.(7 percent). The investment is also coming in India in the form of FII. The FIIs investment in India is not consistent since 2000-01, but in 2014-15 it has increased significantly. India needs to be cautious and less depend upon FIIs.

 India\\\\\\\'s success in sustaining high growth and poverty alleviation will substantially contribute to achieving the ambitious Sustainable Development Goals. The year 2015 is a landmark year for global development - the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the world is set to adopt a new set of transformative and universal sustainable development goals (SDGs). At this juncture, when the framework for the next phase of global development is being formulated, it becomes critical to assess the achievements of the MDGs in India. Improving the lives of 1.4 billion Indians would make a major dent in the goal of improving the lives of all humanity. The process of doing so will bring forth technologies and pathways to progress that can be shared with other developing countries to enable them to also share in the increased prosperity.  The paper focuses on strategies for sustainable development which are necessary for survival of our present generation as well as for the coming generation. An attempt is also made to study India’s progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals and the challenges that India faces in achieving sustainable development goals.

Keywords:  Sustainable development goals, Present and Future Generation, Millennium Development Goals.

SCHOLASTIC ACHIEVEMENT OF EDUCATIONALLY DEPRIVEDED CHILDREN AT PRIMARY STAGE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Prasamita Mohanty

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 2873 - 2888

The National Policy on Education (NPE) 1986 revised in 1992 and its Programme of  Action (POA), envisages paying greater attention to the education of the educationally backward minorities in the interest of equality and social justice. The NPE 1986 and revised in 1992 states “Some minority groups are educationally deprived or backward. Greater attention will be paid to the education of these groups particularly muslim in the interest of equality and social justice. This will naturally include the Constitutional guarantees given to them  to establish and administer their own educational institutions, and protection to their languages and culture. Since Independence, the Government of India has appointed various Committees and Commissions to look into the  problems of education of all children. Several policies are being formulated to promote and strengthen education of children. According to the report of the Education Commission (1964-66 ) “ a society that values social justice and is anxious to improve the lot of the common men and cultivate all available talent; must ensure progressive equality of opportunity to all sections of the population. This is the only  guarantee for building up of an egalitarian and human society in which the exploitation of the weak will be minimized”. Concerted efforts made by Govt.of India in last decades through DPEP and SSA programmes, states have achieved certain targets successfully in terms of educating girls in general and muslim girls in particular. For their betterment and success, attainment of educational standard among muslim girls is equally important as their enrolment. In order to sustain and survive within the education system, muslim girls need extra care and attention. Therefore, scholastic achievement has been major issue and an important concern for such girls. A number of factors has been examined and identified as the potential correlates of academic achievement. Studies in Indian context though provide sufficient empirical evidence on scholastic achievement, hardly any systematic attempt is found in relation to the  scholastic achievement of muslim primary school girls. An attempt has been made to find out the level of  Scholastic achievement subject wise among muslim girls. The present study was carried out among 500 muslim primary school girls in five MCD districts of Uttar Pradesh.

Education involves learning, dissemination of the knowledge and experiences. In broader sense education refers to the gaining of experience in everyday life. It can take place everywhere like, at home, religious institutions, social gatherings, cultural activities, schools and other means such as television, newspaper, internet, social media, etc.  Sometimes these sources of knowledge are categorized under the non formal education. But when the learning disabilities or difficulties referred it is always related to learning that takes place in a formal ways that is in the schools or any educational institutions. It is a common phenomenon that every learner is different in the level of intelligence. Some have more and some have less. Sometimes this factor is considered as an intervening agent in the learning process of the students or learners and their achievement. Learning disabilities is another factor which intervenes in the learning of the learner. Again there are several forms of learning disabilities; they are Reading Disabilities (Dyslexia), Mathematics Disabilities (Dyscalculia), Writing Disabilities (Dysgraphia) and difficulty in remembering words (Dysnomia) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).Since, dyslexia is also one of learning difficulties has greater roles in effecting the performance and achievement of the learners. But till twenties dyslexia was not known to us. It doesn’t mean that it was not existed before twenties. Though it existed but was not detected or not known by this name. Therefore, the present paper intends to highlight on the status and awareness   of secondary school teachers on Reading Disabilities (Dyslexia) in papumpare district of Arunachal Pradesh on the basis of empirical findings of the study.

GENDER DISPARITY AMONG FLOCKING CONSTRUCTION WORKERS TO CHANDIGARH: A REALITY CHECK

Manjit kaur

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 2899 - 2907

Construction in Chandigarh has been taking place at a very rapid pace in recent years. The objective of this paper is to examine and highlight factors for the influx of migrants from the different states of the country which has been taking place in the city in different age groups. Gender disparity among construction workers will be emphasized by analysing the plausible reasons for migration. The migrants do not come alone but bring spouses and invite their relations from the same village to earn when there is work and there is demand for labour. The vertical mobility among the construction workers is gender specific. The research paper would try and focus on gender specific issues in the construction arena, with Chandigarh as the region under study.

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.), has a lot of potential to be utilized in the production of fibre and edible oil for food, medicinal, biodiesel etc. Two varieties of kenaf seed grown in Nigeria: Cuba-108 and Dowling were investigated. The oilseeds were extracted with hexane using cold maceration method. Physicochemical parameters were determined according to established methods. The fatty acid composition was determined by trans esterification of a known quantity of kenaf oils with methanol using potassium hydroxide as catalyst. The result obtained showed percentage oil content of 14.8 % and 12.7 %; acid value 3.8mgKOH/gm, 5.5mgKOH/gm, for Cuba -108 and Dowling respectively. Fatty acid composition of kenafoil sample Dowling (KS (D)) is predominantly, linoleic, while Cuba -108 Cuba -108 (KS (C)) is predominantly oleic. From the results obtainedKenaf seed oil has very great industrial potential in food and non-food utilization.

Key words: Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.), fatty acid composition, trans esterification, cuba 108, Dowling, acid value, saponification value, peroxide value.

IMPACT OF RUPEE DEPRECIATION ON INDIAN ECONOMY

Suhas Avhad

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 2914 - 2919


India being a developing economy with high inflation, depreciation of the currency is quite natural. Depreciation of rupee is good, so long as it is not volatile. A random depreciation that we have seen in the last few months is bad and it has hurt the economy. The country was in the grip of high inflation, low growth and the foreign reserves were not even worth to meet three weeks of imports. India got freedom from British rule on Aug 15, 1947. At that time the Indian rupee was linked to the British pound and its value was at par with the American dollar. There was no foreign borrowing on India\'s balance sheet.

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 2987 - 2996

\"\"For measuring self-efficacy of secondary school teachers, the present task was undertaken to construct and standardized teachers’ self-efficacy scale. For this, data were collected from secondary school teachers by adopting convenient sampling technique in combination with purposive sampling technique. An item pool was developed 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 teachers’ self-efficacy scale was further subjected to item analysis to select only highly discriminating items. The reliability of scale was ascertained with the help of test-retest and split-half method which were found to be appreciably high. The validity of teachers’ self-efficacy scale was also ascertained and norms were established for interpretation of obtained scores on the scale. In the last, conclusions have been presented and implications in the shape of the applicability and usefulness of teachers’ self-efficacy scale have been discussed.

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION - ROLE OF COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES

Amulya Kumar Acharya

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 3028 - 3041

 \"\"

Environmental Protection Act (1986) defined, “Environment as the sum total of water, air and land, their interrelationship among themselves and with the human beings, other living beings and property. Environmental education is a process that allows individuals to explore environmental issues, engage in problem solving, and take action to improve the environment. As a result, individuals develop a deeper understanding of environmental issues and have the skills to make informed and responsible decisions (United States, Environmental Protection Agency). Environment is degrading at a much faster pace than our imagination. Most of this mess is caused by human activities. The damage is both at global and regional level. Depletion of ozone layer and increase in the emission of greenhouse gas are the examples of the damage at global level whereas ground water pollution, soil erosion are some of the regional consequences of human activities and their impact on environment. To protect and manage environment it is imperative to have a sound environmental education. It is a way to teach people and societies on how to use the present and future resources optimally. Through environmental education the students of schools, colleges and universities can gain knowledge to handle the fundamental issues leading to local pollution and environmental related hazards. Colleges and Universities in India mostly focus on teaching, research and training moreover imparting theoretical knowledge in environmental education. Regardless to say the students of colleges and universities spend most of their time in watching television, listening to music, playing video games, surfing internet, spending valuable times through social networking or using computer. They have no time to travel around and to explore the natural world around them. This not only impacts the health of students but also detach them from their surroundings and nature. The role of the colleges and universities is to encourage and integrate towards environmental education through various ways and means right from the beginning from their college education.

Key Words: Environmental Science, Climate Change, environmental education, Role of colleges and universities.

IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION IN TEACHING LEARNING PROCESS

Ms Deepti Rawat

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 3058 - 3063

The success of the teaching-learning process depends on the teacher’s knowledge and the teacher’s ability to transfer the same to the students. Communication plays a vital role in the transfer of knowledge to take place. Furthermore, the process is facilitated by the verbal communication that not only helps in the sharing of the knowledge but also creates an amicable environment to facilitate the sharing of ideas/opinions/feelings between the teacher and the students. In this regard, the paper explores the role of communication in education with the special focus on the verbal communication.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF MATHEMATICS GENIUS SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN IN MATHEMATICS

Bhushan Kumar

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 3075 - 3079

 Srinivasa Ramanujan made substantial contributions to the analytical theory of numbers and worked on ‘elliptic functions’, ‘continued fractions’, and ‘infinite series’. He was a great Mathematician, who became world famous at the tender age of twenty-six. He was born into a family that had a humble background and that had no distinguished professional achievement, yet his mathematical ideas transformed and reshaped  century mathematics and continues to inspire modern day mathematicians. Considered to be a mathematical genius, Srinivasa Ramanujan, was regarded at par with the likes of Leonhard Euler and Carl Jacobi. In spite of having almost no formal training in mathematics, Ramanujan’s knowledge of mathematics was astonishing.

INNOVATION IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHERS

Mahavir Singh Chhonkar

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 3080 - 3087

One of the key elements in most of  reforms is the professional development of teachers; societies are finally acknowledging that teachers are not only one of the ‘variables’ that need to be change in order to improve their education system ,but they are also the most significant change agents in these reforms. This double role of teachers in educational reforms –being both subjects and objects of change-makes the field of teacher professional development a growing and challenging area. When teachers are given the opportunity, via high-quality professional development, to learn new strategies for teaching to rigorous standards, they report changing their teaching in the classroom This paper provides new insights and methods needed for creating rich and innovative bases for professional development of teachers to meet the future needs.

CRITICAL STUDYON SECONDARY SCHOOL SCIENCE TEXT BOOKSPRESCRIBED BY THE GOVERNMENT OFTELANGANA

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 3109 - 3119

 Education in its broadest sense is the means through which the aims and habits of a group of people lives on from one generation to the next. Generally it has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels or acts. It is narrow technical sense; education is a formal process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills, customs and values from one generation to another, e.g. instructions in schools. “The textbook is, in fact, the heart of the school and without the ubiquitous text there would be no schools, at least as we know them”. Textbook for children are widely recognized as having ideological, educational, socializing and pedagogical implications and objectives. Therefore this is important to understand that text produced and presented in the books. Because, the material produced for the very young children play an important role in reshaping discourse that are already in circulation in the broader social world.The term curriculum used in a number of ways by parents, educators and businesses. Some see curriculum as the “academic stuff that is done to children in school.” Teachers themselves use the term in different ways depending on their views and needs. In any school staffroom one may hear statements about curriculum such as the following: “The kids are really making progress since I began modifying the curriculum to better meet their needs.” Science is both a body of knowledge that represents current understanding of natural systems and the process whereby that body of knowledge has been established and is being continually extended, refined, and revised. Both elements are essential: one cannot make progress in science without an understanding of both. Likewise, in learning science one must come to understand both the body of knowledge and the process by which this knowledge is established, extended, refined, and revised.
Keywords: Evaluation, Secondary School, Science Text Book.

Prof. Namita S. Sahare

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 3144 - 3158

 According to our Constitution, 42nd Amendment, one of our fundamental duties is to promote the scientific temper. Classroom is a beehive of activity. To impart experiential learning students should be engaged in Science based activities .   Fact with the Hearing impaired students is they cannot be taught through sound sense. In multisensory approach researcher has focused on the remaining four senses that are  taste, sight, touch, smell to enhance students knowledge in  science.  Inclusive education is about how we develop and design our schools, classrooms, programs and activities so that all students learn and participate together.  An experiential learning Program was developed in which set of science activities was demonstrated with active participation of hearing impaired students to overcome their hearing inability. Multiple choice question based achievement test was conducted to study the impact. Thus providing an experience that would strengthen student’s scientific attitude to counter hearing impairment with which scientific temper was enhanced .

APPROACHES OF DIFFERENT RELIGIONS TOWARDS PEACE EDUCATION WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO BUDDHISM, JAINISM, HINDUISM AND ISLAM

Shakera Parveen

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 3159 - 3166

In the humanizing Process of Man, mere mastering the realm of knowledge and devising ways of massive production and destruction might ultimately lead to all annihilation, as Man is capable of smashing the entire world including Human Civilization within no time by using the stock pile of Nuclear Weapons. There must be a restraint exercise to bring Peace and Harmony in the society and sustain it. Here arises the need to control the remnants of primordial savage still inherent in modern Man and exhibiting symptoms of savagery even in the 21st Century. This under pine great needs to sober the society and ensure Peace, Harmony and Progress of society and there arises a need for Approaches of different Religions to ensure Peace education. Perhaps we know that the earliest written records of guidelines and principles that teach us how to achieve peace comes through the world’s great religions. These religions – following the teachings of such Prophet Mohammed, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Mahavir Jain and others have specific scriptures that advance peace. Religions promote their own vision of peace but ironically some people in the name of religion create nuisance. Why can’t human beings who know about peace figure out how to live in peace following approaches of different religions to ensure peace in society?

PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES OF TEACHER EDUCATION IN INDIA

Kamble Mohan S.

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 3193 - 3200

 Although there have been challenges to Teacher education in the past, these most recent calls for reform may provoke a fundamental change in Teacher education. This change may not occur as a direct response to calls for greater transparency and accountability, but rather because of the opportunity to reflect on the purpose of Teacher education, the role of colleges and universities in the new millennium, and emerging scientific research on how people learn. These disparate literatures have not been tied together in a way that would examine the impact of fundamental change from the policy level to the institutional level and to the everyday lives of college and university administrators, faculty and students. Now the time has come to create a second wave of institution building and of excellence in the fields of education, research and capability building. We need Teacher educated people who are skilled and who can drive our economy forward. When India can provide skilled people to the outside world then we can transfer our country from a developing nation to a developed nation very easily and quickly.

CREATION OF BRAIN-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT AND LEARNING

Rajeshree Gahininath Jaybhaye

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 3201 - 3205

 

Creation of Brain-friendly environment and Learningis a comprehensive approach to instruction using current research from neuroscience. Brain-based education emphasizes how the brain learns naturally and is based on what we currently know about the actual structure and function of the human brain at varying developmental stages. Using the latest neural research, educational techniques that are brain friendly provide a biologically driven framework for creating effective instruction.Designers of educational tools must be artistic in their creation of brain-friendly environments. Teachers need to realize that the best way to learn is not through lecture, but by participation in realistic environments that let learners try new things safely

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 3206 - 3213

 During the present studies the common vegetables of the study region such as Carrot (Daucus carota), Radish (Raphanus sativus) and Onion (Allium cepa) were collected directly from the fields and from the local vegetable markets. They were screened for the incidence of fungal diversity associated with them by moist blotter plate method. The fungi like Alternaria tenuis, Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, A. nidulans, A. fumigatus, Curvularia lunata, Drechslera tetramera, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium moniliforme, Penicillium spp., Chaetomium globosum, Collectotrichum fulcatum, Macophormina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani and Rhizopus stolonifer were found to be associated with the test vegetables and their seeds. The fungi like Alternaria tenuis, Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Curvularia lunata, Drechslera tetramera, Fusarium moniliforme and Rhizopus stolonifer were found to be common and dominant on the test vegetables.

IMPORTANCE OF SECURITIES MARKET’S IN THE INTENSIFICATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY: A REVIEW

T. Radha Krishna

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 3222 - 3228

 The financial markets (banks and the securities markets) finance economic growth. They channelize savings to investments and thereby de-couple these two activities. As a result, savers and investors are not constrained by their individual abilities, but by the economy’s ability to invest and save respectively, which inevitably enhances savings and investment in the economy. To the extent the growth of an economy depends on the rate of savings and investment, financial markets promote economic growth. The banks and securities markets are two competing mechanisms to channel savings to investment. The securities markets score over banks in the allocation efficiency, as it allocates savings to those investments which have potential to yield higher returns. This inevitably leads to higher returns to savers on their savings and higher productivity on investments to enterprises. Hence to the extent economic growth depends on the rate of return on investments, securities market promotes economic growth.

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 3239 - 3244

 The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) has been launched by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on 12th April 2005. The architectural corrections enshrined in the Preamble of NRHM document primarily comprised of decentralization, organizational structural reforms in health sector, inter-sectoral convergence, public private partnership in health sector, mainstreaming Indian system of medicines under Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Sidha and Homeopathy (AYUSH), induction of management and financial personnel into health care management and delivery system. The NRHM vision envisaged provision of effective health care to rural population which had weak public health indicators and weak infrastructure. The strategic options before the Mission included integration of RCH, family welfare, and national programs of disease control under NRHM to achieve desired population stabilization goals. However, the National AIDS and Cancer programs were not integrated to the NRHM scheme. ‘Janani  Suraksha  Karyakram’ (JSK), a part of ‘NRHM’ recent initiative and further moving in the direction of health care to provide ‘to and fro’ free transport services, for safe maternity & child care, free drugs, free diagnosis, free food, free diet to pregnant ladies who come for delivery in govt. health institutions and risk infants up to one year; Free ambulance services are provided at every nook connected with a toll free number and reaches within 30 minutes of call. Regarding family planning issues ‘ASHAs’ play a significant role in the promotion of breast feeding. A development functionary is a catalyst in the process of social development through ‘NRHM’. The functionaries act as a friend, guide & teacher for the public. These personnel act as link-up between the govt. and target groups. Regarding the various activities in which they participate to subsist their role are family welfare program, pulse polio, safe maternity and child care, effective free referral hospital care at community level, registration of pregnant women at hospitals and their regular checkups for their safe pregnancies, health targets of the government given to hospitals, to provide contraceptives for married ladies, inserting for sterilization (Copper-T, loop, IUD/CC-users/oral pills users), diagnose diseases and refer them to government hospitals for treatment/disease control, and help in health care programs & carried out successfully. The functions & work activities of ‘ASHAs’ are : (1) To identify the pregnant women as beneficiaries & report for registration for NAC. (2) To assist the target woman to obtain necessary certifications where ever necessary. (3) To provide help the women in receiving at least three ANC checkups including TT injections, contraceptive tablets. (4) To identify a functional Govt. health centre/an accredited private centre for referral and delivery. (5) To counsel for institutional delivery of contraceptives. (6) To escort the beneficiary women to the pre-determined health centre. (7To inform about the birth/death of the child or mother to ANM/MO. (8) To postnatal visits within 7 days of delivery to track mother’s health after delivery & facilitate in obtaining care and to suggest family planning. (9) To counsel for initiation of contraceptive methods, and to promote for family planning. Each beneficiary registered under ‘JSY’ have a card along with a MCH card, this will effectively help in Antenatal checkup & the post-delivery care.
Key Words:  Role, Awareness, Attitude, Participation, Health, Family planning.

CUSTOMER EXPECTIONS AND PERCEPTIONS OF SERVICE QUALITY AND THE RESULTANT FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS IN SELECT BANKS IN INDIA

Ms. Rinkey Priya Bali

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 3245 - 3254

 Banking in India is, generally, fairly mature in terms of supply, product range and reach-even though reach in rural India still remains a challenge for the private sector and foreign banks. In terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered to have clean, strong and transparent balance sheets relative to other banks in comparable economies in its region. Fresh induction of public stake and corporate governance in government owned banks has brought the element of stiff competition in the environment with greater adoption of the new technologies and ideas, renewed perception of service quality along with the high degree of professional management and marketing concepts in the Indian Banking system. The present paper thus focused on evaluating and comparing customer’s perceptions and expectations of service quality of select banks and subsequently measuring the gaps in the quality of services in select banks. Further the paper attempted to study the financial implications of the gaps obtained. For the purpose of data collection, questionnaires were administered to the customers of four banks. . The total sample was of 100 customers. Cronbach alpha, ranking, means, line charts, gap analysis given by Parasuraman (1992) were used for the purpose of the analysis. The analysis revealed that the public sector banks were outperforming the private sector banks. Further, lower service quality gaps were seen too be directly related to higher performance.

EFFICACY OF VITAMIN C FOR MITIGATING PRE TRANSPORTATION STRESS OF CATLA CATLA (HAMILTON, 1822) FINGERLING IN CONTEXT TO CORTISOL

Manoj M Ghughuskar, Neelam Saharan, P. P. Shrivastava, A. K. Reddy and M. M. Shirdhankar

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 3255 - 3264

Catla catla fingerlings are given pre transportation stress i.e. handling, confinement and air exposure stress. These fingerlings were divided into two group one group (i.e. handling) and another group (i.e. without handling). Fishes of handling and without handling group was fed with and without vitamin –C for 4weeks duration and weekly sampling was done on 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day .From each test group fishes are removed weekly and anesthetized for blood collection. Blood serum has been used for determining cortisol, .Here there is no significant interaction between condition (i.e. handling and without handling) and vitamin C concentration (i.e.T0(0mg/kg), T1(300mg/kg), T2(600mg/kg), T3(900mg/Kg), T4(1200mg/Kg) and T5(1500mg/Kg)) on cortisol, on 7th day, sampling but there is significant interaction(p<0.05) between condition and vitamin C concentration on haemoglobin, Serum Protein ,albumin on 7th day sampling . But from 14th day up to 28th day sampling there is significant interaction (p<0.05) between condition and vitamin C concentration on Plasma cortisol, The level of cortisol, significantly differed (p<0.05)between T0 and other treatments (i.e. T1,T2,T3,T4,T5) but not significantly different between the treatment T4(1200mg/Kg) and T5(1500mg/Kg). So economically 1200mg/kg vitamin C supplemented in feed for 14days or more can effectively ameliorate the pre transportation stress of catla fingerlings.

EVALUATION OF ZIRCONIA NANOFILLER AND BRASS ALLOY ASSEMBLY BY X-RAY RADIOGRAPHY

Surendra Singh

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2016 | Volume/Issue:4/26 | Page No.: 3265 - 3273

Zirconia samples were linked with brass alloy using different nanofiller types. These nanofillers were formed with different concentrations of copper, silver, and titanium nanopowder metals. They were prepared by mixing powders, compacting them by pressure, and sintering them by tube furnace with argon atmosphere at 1200?°C for 50?min. Zirconia/brass assemblies were joined in a vacuum furnace with the pressure of 2?×?10?5?torr at 900?°C for 15?min. X-ray radiography was used to evaluate and detect the defect in the contact area. Some defects were detected. The shear test was achieved to determine the joint strength. Finally, a relationship was found between X-ray radiography and the shear test. Keywords: Radiography; zirconia; nanofiller; brass alloy
