(UN)TREATMENT OF GENDER INEQUALITY IN ROUSSEAU’S DISCOURSE ON INEQUALITY

Prabhjyot Kaur

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4345 - 4349

 This paper makes an attempt to look into the aspect of gender inequality—unequal status of men and women in a society or a group—in Rousseau’s discourse on inequality. It discusses Rousseau’s framework of inequality among men and then analyses this framework to check if it holds true for women. In this process, the paper discusses difference between gender and sex and how conflating the two leads to naturalization of inequality between men and women. The paper concludes by discussing whether Rousseau’s treatment of inequality between men and women is an act of mere silence or an approval regarding gender inequality.
Keywords: Inequality, gender inequality, sex and gender differentiation, gender roles, subordination of women

OHSMS is in place it is important to regularly audit the system to determine whether it is operating as expected, compliances are being complied with. Auditing is the process of assurance that all the provisions of laws, rules, regulations and policies are being followed effectively. OHS Audits are risk-based, designed to manage high risk areas/processes. Higher risk areas/processes are audited more frequently than lower risk areas/processes. OHS management audits identify strengths and weaknesses within a workplace’s OHS program in areas such as accountability, policy, hazard identification and control, training, communication and more. The process is done by assessing how well the OHS program meets legislation, regulations, guidelines and established best practices.

Mansi Hukamraj Bafna

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4411 - 4418

The International Labour Organization’s Global Employment Trends 2013 has reported that out of 131 countries with available data, India ranks 11th from the bottom in female labour force participation (ILO, 2013). Majority of the women population in India are housewives. Due to the fall in workforce participation by women in the country and consistent efforts by the Government for financial inclusion, financial literacy among housewives is become the need of the hour. Financial Literacy means the capability to make effective decisions regarding the use of money. To study financial literacy level of housewives, I have conducted a detailed study for which, a questionnaire is presented to the respondents who are cateogorily chosen women; mostly housewives in Palghar region. The level is assessed keeping in mind the following parameters- financial knowledge, attitude, behavior and perception about personal financial security. The results of the survey show that housewives have low financial knowledge, but a desirable financial behavior. Housewives have a positive attitude towards saving money. The concern area was negative perception of personal financial security.

A CRITICAL STUDY OF IRRIGATION PRACTICES FOR BETELVINE IN THE SELECTED AREA

Bharat V. Patil

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4419 - 4425

\"\\"\\\\"\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\"\\\\"\\"\"The present study was conducted to focus irrigation practices applied for betelvine cultivation in the selected area. Betelvine required frequent but light supply of irrigation kept the land at moist constantly. Farmers who had sufficient water supply all around the year, preferred to grow betelvine crop. Surface irrigation was followed in most of the betelvine gardens. Some gardens were on drip system of irrigation. Betelvine in summer season required more water whereas in rainy season, it required less. In rainy season, proper surface drainage system was required. Now a day’s some farmers face scarcity of water. To overcome this problem, some farmers constructed ponds in their farms. High quality poly thin papers were spread in the ponds to preserve water. In rainy season, there was excessive water which was stored in farm pond and it was used in summer season due to the scarcity of water. Excess irrigation and stagnation of water must be avoided. 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. If favorable conditions were not available, betelvine could not grow with appreciations. As was the case with other crops, climate and other environmental conditions considerably influenced the growth of betelvine. But, it was difficult to specify an ideal of the average climate for this plant. Sangli district held the best environments for commercial betelvine culture. The tropical rain forest provided cool shade, considerable humidity and adequate supply of moisture in the soil. Moderate and even temperature through the year was most favorable. Such conditions were favorably available in areas of Miraj and Walva tahsil of Sangli district. Cultivators of Sangli district acquainted with the required factors for the smooth growth of betelvine leaves. Although, betelvines favored tropical humidity, Sangli district cultivators grew in several places where irrigation facilities were made available. They provided cool shade; humidity and other feasible atmosphere were created for betel leaves cultivation.

Key Words: Irrigation practices, surface irrigation, drip irrigation, cool shade and humidity

SOCIAL BACKGROUND OF INDIAN NATIONALISM

Shriram S. Nikam

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4447 - 4450

The degraded and dehumanized Hindu Society was mobilized towards modernity as the alien rule obliged it to do so. The modern values of democracy provided the avenues to Indian elites to make rational enquiry into their own social system for rebuilding their nation. The concept of nationalism includes three aspects of human life-social, political and economical. The initial stage dominated by social nationalism. The extremists enlarged the scope of political nationalism at the cost of social nationalism. The 20th century debate over the problem was multidimensional-secular nationalism of Gandhiji, Hindu nationalism and the nationalism based on social political and economic justice of Ambedkar. The debate over the issue of nationalism has been covered in this research article.

REVERSE MORTGAGE IN INDIAN BANKS – A STUDY

Sandhya Rani Dasari

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4471 - 4480

 Reverse mortgage an agreement by which a home owner borrows against the equity in his home and receives regular tax free payments from the lender. Here equity is the value of the property over and above any mortgage or other liabilities relating to it. Thus, reverse mortgage is a contract between a homeowner and a financier which enables the homeowner to receive a stream of income, especially in retirement, from the future realizable value of the home. With the growth of the ageing population, old age security has become one of the prime concerns for the Indian government.  All the measures are good for people who are into their working life and thus can save for their retirement now. But one of the segments which have been left is the one who are in their retirement phase and who may not have enough cash to sustain their life. They are called senior citizens.  These people may not have enough income or saving in cash but may have assets which may not be providing income. To overcome this problem, some of the public sector banks and one private housing finance company have already come up with their products and the reverse mortgage market in India started growing. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the reverse mortgage market in Indian Banks and how it is relevant for Indian market today.


Keywords: Reverse Mortgage, Senior Citizens and Indian Banks.

S. P. Mishra

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4481 - 4486

Professional development should help engage teachers in activities that improve their performance in the classroom. In addition, professional development of the teacher–learner has become a focus with recent changes in teacher evaluations in some states, i.e., adopting pay-for-performance models. If student achievement is contingent on a highly effective teacher, then the duty of every school district and building-level administrator is to find and implement the best professional development opportunities. Technology and the use of ICT has created an entirely new avenue for professional development. Able to plan instruction which promotes problem analysis, critical thinking, creativity, leadership development and decision-making based upon subject matter, organization and integration of content and the relationship of content to education, career and life goals; student learning and motivation, with emphasis on individual differences; the community; and current education standards and practices

INCLUSION OF ICT IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Prashantha Kumara T.M.

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4556 - 4567

 Educators everywhere have long looked to rising technologies of their time to advance the delivery of teaching in the classroom and to reach students in distant locations. In the early days of technology use, the focal point was on the delivery of direct teaching. The increased use of technology in education has generated considerable innovation and debate over benefits and disadvantages. The economic oriented motivation of ICT relates to the possible increase of efficiency in educational tasks, saving labor. The emergence of networked computers marks a significant development in educational opportunities with teachers and learners beyond the classroom, school, university or college. As a result, higher education’s reach now extends far beyond what was once possible or even imaginable. This transformative process will undoubtedly continue as broader band width gives faculty and students, as well as Administrators, access to new opportunities. Technology has fundamentally altered how we live and works as well as we learn. In the world of higher education, for example, virtually every aspect of scholarship from conducting research to communicating ideas has been influenced by technology. Wider availability of best practices and best course material in education, which can be shared by means of ICT, can foster better teaching. Use of ICT in education develops higher order skills such as collaborating across time and place and solving complex rear world problems. It improves the perception and understanding of the world of the student. Thus, ICT can be used to prepare the work force for the information society and the new global economy.

The purpose of this paper is to review the climate of elementary schools in North EastIndia across some select indictors and pinpoint its implications to educational leaders.  The objectives were to examine the NER States Performances across assignment of headmasters, establishment of SMC, teachers’ capacity building efforts and some efficiency indicators. The study was fully desk review on the raw data collected by National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NUEPA). Thus it has been found that States greatly vary in assigning headmasters where Manipur is more successful in maintaining regularheadmaster: 94.3% forurban and 95.58% for rural elementary schools where as Arunachal Pradesh State was the least having 16.71% of urban and 6.46%. Overall the performance of the NER is encouraging in establishing School Management Committee compared to all States of India. However, they are still lagging in urban schools.  In the areas of supervisions, Cluster Resource center coordinators have given due attention to rural schools and better supervision was done in Tripura, Manipur and theleast supervision was observed in Sikkim and Meghalaya where their performance is lower than the aggregate of States. Most of the States have not gone beyond 60% on average that reminds educational leaders to think about the coming years as supervision is a means of addressing problems at ‘infancy’ before they ‘go off track’. Teachers’ in-service training as a key for capacity building was weak which needs the attention of the Educational leadership.Overall, the schools of India are entertaining over crowded classes both in primary (35.51% of urban and 52.87 rural) and upper primary (32.82% urban and 51.98 rural) and high teacher -pupil ratio (22.38% in urban, 26.15 % rural in primary), which are still the challenges for NER States as well.  In securing resource and its utilization, Tripura was better and Sikkim State received the least grant and was not even able to utilize.

BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS FROM MACROALGAE- THE MEDICINAL PROSPECTIVES

Rageshree Swain , Pragyan Paramita Rout & Sanhita Padhi

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4590 - 4602

 Our natural world is extremely rich in resources. Hence, it plays a diverse role in the field of therapeutics. As the Earth’s surface is covered by more than 70% of the oceans, marine organisms can therefore be considered as an excellent source of bioactive compounds. Bioactive compound or biologically active compounds are the compounds that are effective on a living organism, issue or cell. Examples of certain bioactive compounds and flavonoids, carotenoids, polysaccharides, glucosinates, polyphenols, and many more. Numerous bioactive compounds having heterogeneous function such as antiproliferative, antioxidant, and anti-microtubule have been extracted from the marine sources. Macroalgae or Seaweed, a word that includes the macroscopic, multicellular or benthic marine algae, is thought to be an exceptional source of bioactive compounds because they are enriched with different kinds of secondary metabolites exhibiting various biological activities and have extensively been utilized for the treatment of various kinds of diseases. Several unpolished or partly refined polysaccharides from many brown, green and red algae have been confirmed for their diverse curing activities. Recent trends in drug research indicated macroalgaeto be promising as novel and sustainable sources of bioactive compounds for both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. The proper development of marine algae compounds will be helpful in pharmaceutical product development and in the development of the pharmaceutical industry.

ROLE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) TO BUILD INCLUSIVE CLASSROOM FOR COGNITIVE DISABLED CHILDREN–AN APPROACH TOWARDS EDUCATIONAL PARADIGM SHIFTS

Samaresh Adak

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4603 - 4611

 This paper presents and evaluates the development of an educational technology curriculum aimed at pre-service, primary education and undergraduates; the focus is on the incorporation of ICT competences to build inclusive education for cognitive disabled children. Inclusion or integration is an important part of equal opportunity in education. Demands for inclusive education have increased and fostered major changes to schooling and education. Students with cognitive disabilities are educated alongside their peers within the local community therefore mainstream schools are required to adapt to accommodate a diverse group of students with a variety of needs. Students were able to monitor the development and implementation of tools for cognitive disabled children in schools, and plan teaching and learning in within their course project work by using technology. Within an educational technology curriculum, a competence framework was developed for fostering the use of ICT in the teaching of, and learning by, cognitive disabled children. This was achieved against the backcloth of the baseline learning objectives of autonomy, inquiry, creativity and innovation. In pre-service teacher education in educational technology, the focus is on inquiry based learning, and on planning and incorporating the innovative use of ICT into teaching; the emphasis is also on enhancing the student teachers’ competences for his/her own professional development. Paradigm shift is a fundamental change in the basic concepts and experimental practices of a scientific discipline. Here the Paradigm shift occurs in the concept development of e-learning environment by using several technologies for cognitive disabled children. E-learning environment in the inclusive classroom assists classroom management and facilitates the individual and collaborative engagement and activities in the process of development of cognitive abilities and also to overcome cognitive disabilities by using cognitive therapies for better learning, experiences and interests of every individual student.

Mamata Aswal & Seema Dhawan

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4612 - 4625

 Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is about making education better in quality, more relevant and more responsible. It is for providing learners with the tools and techniques needed to deal effectively with contemporary challenges in this unstable world. It encourages people to be innovative, think critically, solve problems, understand complexity and cooperate with others. ESD promotes life-long learning and inter-disciplinary education. It gives priority to equal education for girls and women at all levels. Thus, the vision of ESD is that of transforming education systems so that they can help to build a better future. Teachers play a key role in the socialization of young people for sustainable development. One cannot ignore the position of teacher and teacher training programmes in environmental perspectives. It is the responsibility of teachers and prospective teachers to sensitize their students and the public at large about important issues related to environment and sustainable development. To transform education systems, it is essential that teacher must have all the required skills, attitudes and values related to ESD. For this, it is important to know the requirement of prospective teachers. Present paper deals with the need analysis of the probable teachers in the area of ESD.

Ms. Vandana

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4626 - 4638

cademic writing in an educational setting is generally used for expressing views, ideas and thoughts about scholastic/curriculum transaction a teacher has done in his/he classroom. In education system these academic writings are generally used for practicing and assessing the learning outcomes which bring about the desired changes in the behaviour of learner. The forms of academic writing generally used in assessment and learning practices are essays, comprehensions, story writing, reflective dairies, speeches, self written poem and literary works etc. throughout the subjects. As academic writing is a free expression of learners understanding of his curricular learning and his interaction with his internal and external environment, it becomes an authentic source of assessment and judgement of learners academic & life skill accomplishment. A psychological reflection through academic writings proposes as personality traits of the learners, their attitude towards learning, teachersand institution. One’s specific interests, opinions, assumptions, psychological need adjustment at institution and home and one’s perception towards oneself, society, country and humankind. Other then one’s academic reflections, these writings could be very authentic records of his/her psychological reflections which can be very helpful for a teacher, instructor or parent in understanding their mindset and learning requirements. And a step ahead from that, a teacher can adapt, adopt and even evolve individualised transactional strategies for learning. All the way we can patternize his course of life development in a desired mode. Finally it proposes that simultaneously with academic

SECTARIAN CONFLICT IN PAKISTAN: ITS CAUSES AND IMPLICATIONS

Kulvinder Singh

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4667 - 4673

 

Sectarianism is a real threat to Pakistan security. The history of sectarian conflict in Pakistan is as old as the existence of this country. Yet, the intensification of sectarian divide in Pakistan was observed during late 1970s and early 1980s because of domestic political changes and the implications of Islamic revolution in Iran and the subsequent adverse reaction in some Arab countries to the assumption of power by clergy operating from the holy city of Qom. During the military regime of General Mohammad Zia-ul-Haq, which seized power on July 5, 1977 pursued a policy of ‘Islamisation’ resulting into the deepening of Sectarian divide between Shia and Sunnis. This paper attempts to analytically examine the dynamics of Sectarian conflict in Pakistan

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4678 - 4685

\"\"The researcher through data collection and responsive investigation show the school time  experiences and exposure of boys and girls in their story dictation and dramatization. The present study highlights and emphasises the vital role of narrative in play and how it can be a rich venue to explore the facts of difference and similarity, particularly relating to gender identities and expression. The study explores how the children’s stories tell the influence of cultural stereotypes and the potential to move beyond rigid gender boundaries as well. In the ancient era in India, the grandparents used to tell the stories to the kids to enhance their vision about culture and society. But with time, the art of storytelling and of stories has diminished in early childhood as well as in school education. The present paper is an attempt to remind us of the power of story to empower children to value both their own voices and those of their peers.

 The current study examined the relationship between leadership styles (transactional, participative, transformational, and servant leadership style) and employee’s job satisfaction. The research indicated that job satisfaction is influenced by leadership styles and contributed to individual’s contentment on the job. The standardized questionnaire used in this study was distributed to a sample of 75 employees of Punjab State Co-operative bank and its 17 branches in Chandigarh. The t-test, Correlation and regression analysis (using stepwise method) was used to analyze the results. Multiple linear regression (using stepwise method) showed that transactional leadership style explained 37.8% change in job satisfaction. Transactional leadership was strongly related to job satisfaction than other leadership styles. Independent samples T test showed that there is not a significant difference between job satisfactions with regard to gender. It was suggested that leaders’ should demonstrate different leadership styles in varying situations and deal with followers’ individually to increase organizational effectiveness.

ASSESSMENT PRACTICES IN CONSTRUCTIVE CLASSROOMS

Shireesh P. Singh

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4708 - 4713


The traditional classroom teaching which is apparently common in our schools  has been bookish in nature and centred around the walls of classrooms .Traditional teaching and learning is based on “transition” of knowledge from teacher to Learners. But recent trends has changed the present scenario which adopted the Constructivist approach that focuses more on innovative activities and knowledge acquisition as constructivism is more feasible in terms of Learning as they get opportunity to engage themselves in more creative and innovative practices. In this approach learner construct their own knowledge on the basis of physical environment and their personal experiences. Students participate in exploring, explaining and expanding. The constructivist teacher acts as a facilitator who creates suitable classroom environment that help the students in problem solving and inquiry based learning where students generate their own ideas, draw conclusions and inferences. Constructivism transforms student from a passive learner to an active learner where they construct their own knowledge rather than just receiving it mechanically so it is really need to transform our traditional system of Evaluation and assessment to cope with such type of innovative class rooms. This paper discuss the assessment techniques useful for constructivist classes

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4714 - 4724

 Purpose: The purpose of the study is to understand the various strategies followed by the three and four-star rating hotels of tri city (Chandigarh, Panchkula & Mohali) by taking into account Porter’s generic strategies as it remains one of the most widely accepted typology of strategic options for businesses. Using a survey, a sample of 90, three and four-star rating hotel managers from tri city (Chandigarh, Mohali & Panchkula) were questioned about their current strategic practices.

Design/methodology/approach: Firstly, hotels were chosen from various websites like Goibibo.com, Makemytrip.com and trivago.com under the three and four-star rating and then random sampling method is adopted for getting the questionnaire filled.

Findings: A factor analysis revealed that hotels are pursuing only two strategies that can be identified as those of Porter where as some new type of strategies evolved through analysis. Hotels mainly three star and four-star rating follows cost leadership and differentiation strategy but don’t have focus strategy orientation.

Research Implications: This study has its aim to analyze the strategies used in the tri city hotel industry and to determine if there is any evidence that could link these strategies to the generic strategies developed by Michael Porter.

Limitations: The limitation of the study is that it is confined to a small sample of tri city i.e. Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali.

Keywords: Generic strategies, strategic management, tri city, three and four-star rating hotels

AWARENESS AND KNOWLEDGE OF SOCIAL LEGISLATIONS AMONG RURAL WOMEN

Ranjana Gupta

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4758 - 4764

 India is a complex country. We have, through centuries, developed various types of customs, traditions and practices. These customs and traditions, good as well as bad, have become a part of our society’s collective consciousness. We worship female goddesses; we also give great importance to our mothers, daughters, sisters, wives and other female relatives or friends. But at the same time, Indians are also famous for treating their women badly both inside and outside their homes.
Indian society consists of people belonging to almost all kinds of religious beliefs. In every religion women are given a special place and every religion teaches us to treat women with respect and dignity. But somehow the society has so developed that various types of ill practices, both physical and mental, against women have become a norm since ages. For instance, sati pratha, practice of dowry, parda pratha, female infanticide, wife burning, sexual violence, sexual harassment at work place, domestic violence and other varied kinds of discriminatory practices; all such acts consists of physical as well as mental element. Therefore, the concept of women empowerment not only focuses on giving women strength and skills to rise above from their miserable situation but at the same time it also stresses on the need to educate men regarding women issues and inculcating a sense of respect and duty towards women as equals. In the present write-up we will try to describe and understand the concept of Women Empowerment in India in all its dimensions. Women empowerment in simple words can be understood as giving power to women to decide for their own lives or inculcating such abilities in them so that they could be able to find their rightful place in the society.
Key-Words: self-worth, opportunities, economic order institutional provisions, Social Legislation.

CONTINUOUS COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION –A VISION INSIDE OUT

Harshaben J Patel & Minalba B. Jadeja

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4772 - 4781

 It is utmost important to make continuous and comprehensive evaluation as an integral part of teaching and learning process to promote standard of Education. CCE refers Continuous & Comprehensive Evaluation, a system of school based assessment that covers all the aspects of a student’s development. It was designed to reduce the student stress related to board exams, and to introduce a uniform and comprehensive pattern for student evaluation across the country. It emphasizes on two broad objectives: (a) Continuity in Evaluation and (b) Assessment of broad based learning. Clearly, it attempts to shift emphasis from ‘testing’ to ‘holistic learning’ with an aim of creating young adults, possessing appropriate skills and desirable qualities in addition to academic excellence. Therefore, the CCE scheme brings about a paradigm shift from examination to effective pedagogy. Conventionally the teacher is seen as the information giver; knowledge flows only one way, from teacher to student. In a collaborative classroom (or the CCE method), emphasis is on shared knowledge and decision making. For some teachers finding time for planning collaborative instruction is a most difficult challenge. Practicing modes and modalities of CCE is a challenge before traditional teachers.  Therefore  it  is  absolutely  essential  that  teachers  need  to  be  provided  with orientation about the CCE scheme incorporating both the scholastic and co-scholastic areas of learners’ growth. In order to make CCE effective there has to be collective understanding among all concern i.e. child, teacher, parent and institutions of higher education about what is being evaluated. This paper is based on ideas and basic concepts of CCE Scheme implemented in Gujarat.

ROLE OF COMPUTER IN OPEN DISTANCE LEARNING AS A LEARNER SUPPORT SERVICSES- A STUDY

Ravindar Reddy

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4782 - 4786

 Network-based learning is now such an important area that it would seem timely to examine progress to date and to draw conclusions regarding the direction of further research. This paper is the result of a survey of computer systems for distributed and distance learning, focusing on projects that help to illustrate the evolution of this important field. An examination such as this is important in its own right as a resource for other researchers wishing to pursue the subject further, but the survey also helps to highlight some of the major trends of past projects and to suggest some of the ways in which progress may be made in the future. The use of computer technology in education can change the learning style in several ways. This paper seeks to explore the level of computer application in ODL. The study also focuses on finding out the differences in computer application among the ODL students with respect to gender. The sample consists of 100 male and 100 female students from selected ODL students in Hyderabad city. To collect the data the researcher developed the questionnaire to measure the level of computer application. The results indicated that 68.8% students showed medium level of computer application. Further it was observed that Malestudents showed better computer application than female students. The study suggests that innovative curricula should be designed to give more emphasis on computer application. Further, Peer teaching related to computer applications among students can be emphasized to enhance the female students’ computer application ability.

A STUDY ON THE UTILITY OF PAVEMENT METHOD

Yogesh Kumar Bajpai

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4787 - 4793

 Performance of pavement can be generally defined as to the change in their condition or function with respect to age. It can also be indicative of the ability of a pavement to carry the intended traffic and satisfy the environment during the design life, both functionally and structurally. With the increased economic and development activities in India, the traffic has increased multi fold during the last 3 decades resulting in the overstressing of road network. 
The development of higher stresses leads to performance failure of the pavements. If the pavements fail to carry the design loads satisfactorily, then the failure is of structural type. It is of functional type, if the pavement does not provide a smooth riding surface. The uneven surface not only causes discomfort, but also increases the Vehicle Operating Cost (VOC), thus influencing the overall transportation cost. This paper gives a broad outline of the importance of pavement performance evaluation, type of models, applications of performance models in other countries for their Pavement Management System and the research studies carried out so far.

UNDERGROUND SEASONAL SOLAR THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE: A CASE STUDY

Morankar Kamalakar Prabhakar

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4794 - 4796

 Solar thermal technologies are promising, given the fact that solar energy is the cheapest and most widely available of all renewable energy technologies. The recent promotion of solar energy for various applications has received considerable attention from researchers, to improve the overall efficiency of various solar thermal systems. Thermal storage systems are essential to overcome the disadvantage of the intermittent nature of solar energy. One of the methods to effectively utilize solar energy is the integration of a highly efficient storage system, which should enhance the storage capacity to make the system suitable for continuous usage. Further, high stratification is required in the storage system in order to increase the efficiency of the solar collector system. Such stratified storage tanks are also vital for the effective storage and retrieval of energy, intended for various solar thermal applications.

A STUDY ON THE HYDROLOGIC VARIABLES USED IN MOST OF THE WATER RESOURCES APPLICATIONS

Pradeep Kumar Uppal

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4797 - 4805

 A brief review of research in remote sensing of water resources indicates that there are many positive results, and some techniques have been applied operationally. Currently, remote sensing data are being used operationally in precipitation estimates, soil moisture measurements for irrigation scheduling, snow water equivalent and snow cover extent assessments, seasonal and short term snowmelt runoff forecasts, and surface water inventories. In the next decade other operational applications are likely using remote measurements of land cover, sediment loads, erosion, groundwater, and areal inputs to hydrological models. Many research challenges remain, and significant progress is expected in areas like albedo measurements, energy budgets, and évapotranspiration estimation. The research in remote sensing and water resources also has much relevance for related studies of climate change and global habitability.

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4806 - 4814

 The quality and level of ground water in Haryana state of India is reviewed in this paper. As concentrations of harmful ions and micro-organisms in some part of Haryana was found to beyond the maximum allowable limit for drinking water in India. Due to industrialization and urbanization, there is a maximum demand of water in Haryana. To fulfil this demand maximum population was found to depend heavily on groundwater, as surface water resources in Haryana are limited and fully utilized. The analysis done by different researchers proved that, the quality and level of ground water in Haryana is continuously declining due to industrialization, urbanization, microbial contamination and impact of weather. The present review aims to summarize the status of ground water level and quality, challenges and need of research to improve groundwater level and quality in Haryana, India based on available literature.
Key words: Ground water, level, irrigation, contamination, Haryana.

IMPLEMENTATION OF EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING PROGRAM TO SPREAD INCLUSION AWARENESS IN SOCIETY

Prof. Namita S. Sahare

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4815 - 4821

 To modify or to change or to innovate the behavior, the learning experiences are essential. Creating a more inclusive workplace is necessary for many reasons. The way forward in hiring people with disabilities is to judge them on their ability to meet the job requirements, and then to design the workspace and workflow accordingly to maximize their ability to deliver results. For that to happen, there must be an awareness of the need for diversity and inclusion within the organisation and, more importantly, among colleagues and management.   . When we think about making a difference to the disabled, we usually think about their education, jobs and career, which is great. But a different approach that has thought about it from the emotional front, they should not feel isolated or excluded. Thus providing an experiential learning based program that would strengthen their feeling of inclusion to counter  stress and increase the productivity  is an essential need. The purpose of this study is primarily to study the impact of experiential learning activities to spread inclusion awareness in workplace.

The process of concentration of population in urban areas as a result of the politio-historical commercial, industrial, and infrastructural development has favored the modern spurt of urban development in India. Maharashtra has witnessed highly accelerated pace of urbanization due to change in socio-economic development. The area chosen for the study is a part of Konkan division in Maharashtra. The process of urbanization in the region is relatively recent, initiated with emergence of Mumbai as multifarious center. Polarization of nascent industries, massive influx of immigrants and introduction of Konkan railway open “Corridor” for urbanization in the area. Special Economic Zones (SEZs) introduced by the Indian Government in April 2000 is also corroborating the process of urbanization in the district.AS per 2001 census, the level of urbanization in the district 24.24 per cent as against 42.67 percent in Maharashtra out of the total urban population in the district more than quarter is concentrated in only two cities, namely Panvel and Khopoli. It becomes imperative to analyze the spatial and temporal variation in urbanization from 1971 to 2001. The percentage of urban population for each tahsils is computed. Ratio of urban population and the rate of urban growth are some of the quantitative techniques are used in this study.

ROUSSEAU’S VIEWS ON EDUCATION AND PRESENT EDUCATION SYSTEM

Vishwasrao Sharad Hari

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4860 - 4867

 Jean Jacques Rousseau was born in 1712. He worked in many occupations like private tutor, music teacher, composer and dramatist. His writings sowed the seed of the French Revolution. His writing reflects his views on the social injustice and the rigid school discipline which deprived the children of their rightful natural freedom. His work Emile is the mirror of his ideals on theory and practice of education. He was called the Father of Modern Educational Theory and practice. He gives the concept of Negative Education, and back to nature to education field. He also contributed different teaching methods to education field. He recommends the syllabus for different age group student of school.  For his concept of women education there are different opinions from different field. Rousseau made the concrete foundation to the Education system and his ideas provided motivation to Educational thinker of present century.

ASSESSMENT OF BIOMASS CARBON POOL OF AN ACADEMIC INSTITUTION IN PUNE, MAHARASHTRA

Mahajan D.M., Shinde Vijayalaxmi R., & Chasker M.G.

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4868 - 4877

 The significance of urban plantations in carbon sequestration is conventional, and well renowned. We have estimated biomass carbon pool of Baburaoji Gholap College Campus, Pune; by considering above ground, belowground, herb biomass, litter biomass, dead wood, and soil organic carbon. We have sampled entire college campus for biomass and soil carbon. Soil samples were taken from soil profile up to 30 cm depth. Walkley‐Black Wet Oxidation method was applied for measuring soil organic carbon. Total amount of above and belowground carbon sequestered was estimated to be 73.63 tonnes; herbaceous biomass carbon 11.34 tonnes, litter and deadwood 1.55, and soil organic carbon 23.95; and the sum of all were 110.47 tonnes. The exotic species sequester 25.219 tonnes and native sequester 13.907 tonnes of carbon. The rates of carbon in active markets are US$ 30 (Thirty dollars) per tonne.  Putting a conservative value of US$ 30 per tonne of CO2 locked in college campus, this carbon sink of about 110.47 tonnes of CO2 is worth of US $ 3314.10 or Indian Rs. 2,25,673.64/-. It will help in mitigating the total carbon emissions in the college premises and thereby atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.

Kamal R. Dhakane

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4894 - 4899

 Case study is a powerful student central teaching method that can impart students with critical thinking, communication and interpersonal skills. It is partnership between students and teacher as well as among students. It   provides   student, the opportunity to walk around the problems and to see varied perspective. Quality in education is becoming requirement and demand by market. Teaching and learning are the most important points for institutional evaluations and for assessment of the quality of program. This paper describes how to develop skills navigate their way through this new world. The skills are important for all learners to achieve their full potential, both during their time in college and into the future. Some teachers are now using techniques such as peer-to peer teaching, role- playing, and incorporating current events in life science plans. These techniques help to engage students and help them understand the importance of life sciences. Scientific research as a teaching and learning model .It provide a model for how college teaching can become an active process. Science teaching is often most effective when it captures methods of thinking that scientist use when exploring the world. Successful learning is a complex process that involves more than manipulating symbols and executing instructions in the laboratory. The activity of finding out can be as important as knowing the answer.

RURAL LITERACY IN INDIA AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES

Alka Dutt & Rajat K. Sant

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4913 - 4924

 Literacy shapes the development and achievements of individuals in a society. literacy is the key of better development of cognitive abilities and mental faculties. process and speed of modernization,urbanization, industrialization, economics& commerce directly affects the literacy rate of a nation. literacy rates in India are directly associated with process of urbanization. bulk of job opportunities in urban places ensures the need for literate people. literates migrate from rural and semi urban places to urban cities because urbanization is result of higher level of economic activities of trade, commerce and industries. service sector like banking, distribution and supply, education, IT and so on witness prolific growth in and around urban centers.
Now the question arises, what about literacy rates in rural India? and why it is quite poor in rural India? improving literacy rate in rural India is surely able to bring the upliftment of most vulnerable section of society and make them more aware towards important aspects of life like population control, health & hygiene, environmental conservation, employment avenues &self-employment and so on.

DALIT POLITICS IN INDIA : FROM SOCIAL MOVEMENT TO ELECTORAL POLITICAL ACTIVISM

Manish Kumar

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4935 - 4949

 The political movement of Dalits gained a stronghold in northern India. Historically, the Dalit movement started to gaine equality in Indian society. In the post-Indepenence period Dalit movement emerged under the leadership of Ambedkar. Ambedkar emerged not only as a political leader but also he has emerged as leader for the untouchable community to address the issues from social to political perspective. The rise of Dalit political mobilization in India has gained in a wider dimension both in political activism but also as a social movement which has been supported by wide spread Dalit literature to generate a Dalit consciousness among the downtrodden masses. Today caste has become increasingly important in Indian politics. Taking this into a consideration the formation of RPI and BSP has truly established Dalit leaders in the electoral politics of the country. In this context the article discussed about how social movement of Dalit gained a political movement in the later part of Indian politics.

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

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4950 - 4961

Catla fingerlings’ weighing average weight (31.36±1.26 g) were selected for further transportation experiment. Catla catla fingerlings were packed at two densities, 25 g/l (optimum) and 50 g/l (double of the optimum) of ten replicates each for 6 h ,12 h,18 h and 24 h respectively in two sets in polyethylene bags of dimensions (L-77.8 cm x B-40 cm), which were filled with 5 liters water, i.e., 1/3rd water and 2/3rd oxygen. The samples were regularly collected at CIFE Aquaculture Wet Laboratory at every 6 h (i.e., 6, 12, 18 and 24 h) intervals for taking stress parameter i.e. glucose of catla fingerlings. The vehicle was continuously running for 24 hrs in and around Mumbai from 8.00 A.M to 8.00 A.M. covering a distance of about 640 Km . One set of packing was used for determining stress parameters Glucose, which was determined from serum of Catla catla fingerlings. Another set was used for determining survival percentage after 7 days post-transportation. After transportation fishes were reared in separate tanks with aeration and water exchange. Fingerlings mortality was monitored for 7 days. The seven days post-transportation survival was determined by rearing the fishes in separate tanks for 25 g/l and 50 g/l packing densities with regular water exchange. It was observed that glucose level, is a good indicators of stress during transportation of Catla catla fingerlings packed at high density and increasing transportation duration. Hence, 25 g/l was the optimum packing density of Catla catla fingerlings for 24hrs duration. It was also concluded that increase in packing density resulted in increase of stress. There was a statistical significant interaction between the packing density (i.e., 25g/l and 50g/l) and transportation period (i.e., 0h, 6h, 12h, 18h and 24h) on glucose level. In case of double the optimum density results, it was found that up to 12hrs, this density was optimum and after that the stress parameter i.e. Glucose level got drastically changed. Key words: Catla catla, fingerling, transportation, stress, glucose level.

STRUCTURE STUDIES OF THE PREPARED NOVEL HYDRAZONE SCHIFF'S BASE COMPLEXES USING SPECTROSCOPIC, THERMAL ANALYSES AND THEIR BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES

Surendra Singh

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4962 - 4971

The complexing behavior of benzoylhydrazone Schiff's base (A1), with the IUPAC name (2(1-hydrazonoethyl)phenol), towards the transition metal ions, namely, Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Hg(II), Ce(IV), and UO2(II), has been examined by elemental analyses, magnetic measurements of some of them, electronic spectra, FT-IR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR. Thermal properties and decomposition kinetics of all complexes are investigated. The interpretation of kinetic parameters of thermal decomposition stages of some of them has been evaluated using Coats-Redfern equation. The antifungal activities of the free ligand and its metal complexes have been tested in vitro against two types of fungi: Aspergillus fumigatus, RCMB 02568; Candida albicans, RCMB 05036. Besides, two gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis, RCMB 010067; Streptococcus pneumoniae, RCMB 010010) and two gram-negative (Escherichia coli, RCMB 010052; Pseudomonas aeruginosa, RCMB 010043) bacteria were used as test organisms in order to assess the complexes' antimicrobial potential. It is clear from this survey that the A1 complexes are of high biological activities as antifungal, in which Cu-A1 and Co-A1 are the most efficient complexes in a level more or less approaches that of the amphotericin standard. It also indicates that the Cu-A1 and Mn-A1 have the largest biological effects on gram-positive bacteria of both kinds, and that Cu-A1 complex has a more effect (32.4±0.30) or of the same order of magnitude (23.8±0.20) as that of the ampicillin standard (23.8±0.2).

CHANGING RELATIONSHIP OF GLOBAL TELECONNECTIONS WITH SUMMER MONSOON RAINFALL OVER INDIA

Patel Hemlata & Gadgil Alka

Issue: Jan-Feb, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/29 | Page No.: 4972 - 4979

Indian summer monsoon, which is a part of the Asian monsoon, demonstrates perceptible degree of variability on intra-seasonal, inter-annual and multi-decadal scale time scales. The inter-annual variability of Indian summer monsoon is largely controlled by the internal dynamics of the atmosphere and the slowly varying boundary forcing from the underlying oceans and land surface. In addition to this, Indian monsoon is related to many large-scale anomalies in the general circulation of the atmosphere and oceans, in time and space, which are termed as teleconnections. Due to these global linkages, there have been many occurrences of floods (strong monsoon) or drought (weak monsoon) during which India as a whole receives excess or deficient seasonal rainfall, respectively. Monsoon variations, particularly if they are unforeseen, results in substantial economic and social consequences. Hence, studies on global linkages of the Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR) becomes crucial in order to lessen the adverse effects of the inter-annual variability of the monsoon. This research study tries to understand the behaviour of global meteorological parameters and their role in causing the inter-variability of the summer monsoon rainfall over India. Trend analysis of Southern Oscillation index and North Atlantic Oscillation were studied in the present research. The study revealed that the relationship between the global teleconnections and summer monsoon rainfall has undergone phase-change, and has oscillated between inverse and direct association. Keywords: Global Teleconnections, Southern Oscillation Index, North Atlantic Oscillation, Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR)

What is inclusive education? An education system that includes all students, and welcomes and supports them to learn, whoever they are and whatever their abilities or requirements. This means making sure that teaching and the curriculum, school buildings, classrooms, play areas, transport and toilets are appropriate for all children at all levels. Inclusive education means all children learn together in the same schools. Inclusive education involves transforming the whole education system - legislation and policy, systems for financing, administration, design, delivery and monitoring of education, and the way schools are organized. All human rights are interlinked. This includes the right to education. It is not possible to achieve an effective education unless other rights are realized. And if the right to education is fulfilled, it leads to the realization of other rights. Keywords: Inclusive Education, Inclusive Education System, Disabilities
