ROLE OF EDUCATION IN DEVELOPING A CULTURE OF PEACE

Jignesh B. Patel

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5048 - 5052


This paper is a review paper try to discuss the role of peace education in fostering a culture of peace. Wars begin in the minds of men, so it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be con­structed. It is not enough to be connected to each other, more than this, we should share our solutions, our experiences and dreams in one great community supported by human rights and fundamental freedoms. Peace is more than the absence of war, it is living together with our differences _ of sex, race, language, religion or culture, it is the result of an ongoing process with constant engineering, vigilance and active participation. A culture of peace leads to sustainable peace. Culture of peace involves a holistic awareness of the changing world in which we live. Sustainable development and social justice, democratic participation, respecting and valuing human rights, equality and equity in social participation and education are the foundation stones to build a culture of peace. Among these, the comer stone is education. Different from general education peace education concentrates on de­veloping values, knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors to live in harmony with oneself, with others, and with the natural environment. But it will be successful only if peace education go beyond theoretical aspect to internalization cognitively, affectively and in skill.

For all the tribes, the religious concepts, terminologies, and practices are different and various, but all the members of these groups contribute to somewhat which is common in them, they are below regular stress from the main prepared religions, like Hinduism and Christianity. Some of this force is intentional, as the missionaries work among tribal group to gain converts. Most of the pressure, however, comes from the process of integration within a national, political and economic system that brings tribes into increasing contact with other groups and different, prestigious belief systems. In general only those tribes that remain geographically isolated in hill and forest regions are able to retain their traditional cultures and religions for longer periods. Those tribes that make the transition away from hunting and gathering and toward agriculture, usually as low-status laborers, find their ancient religious forms in decay and their place filled by practices of Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, or Buddhism. This paper is an attempt to understand the spatial variation in tribal religiosity and it’s co-relation to education and other factors.

Keywords: Tribal area, religion, religiosity, spirituality, faith, superstitions, education.

TEACHING SKILLS AND SHAD DARSHANAS : REFLECTING ON PROMINENT MICRO TEACHING SKILLS APROPOS PRAMANAS IN EPISTEMOLOGY OF INDIAN PHILOSOPHY

Rajeev Kaushal

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5079 - 5095

A teacher is considered the maker of destiny of a nation. He/she has a two-fold identity, that of being an educator and a life-long learner. As an educator, a teacher needs to be pedagogically sound while as a life-long learner a teacher needs to be a philosopher and have a sound knowledge of Educational Philosophy. The knowledge of Philosophy equips the teacher with the faculty of weltanschauung thereby polishing the acumen and refining teaching skills. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that Philosophy and Pedagogy complement as well as supplement each other. The present paper reflects upon core teaching skills in the light of prominent Pramanas encompassed in Epistemology of some major schools of Indian Philosophy and also throws light on how these skills are interrelated to various Pramanas besides giving valuable suggestions pertaining to the use of same in the field of Teaching and Pre-service Teacher Education programme.

Keywords: Epistemology, Pramanas, Pedagogy, Philosophy.

Adya Shakti Rai

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5131 - 5139

 The condition of visual disability obstructs the child\'s development in various areas, i.e. cognitive, language, motor and social development. It creates the unique needs for the persons with visual disabilities. In order to meet their unique needs there must be provision for specialized guidance services in appropriate media, which enable them to most effectively compete with their peers in school and ultimately in society.This paper aims to find out the need of guidance of under-graduate visually challenged students and compare the guidance need of students with visual impairment as per their gender. The data has been collected from randomly selected 60 undergraduate students with visual disabilities (Divyangjan) of Dr. Shakuntala Misra National Rehabilitation University, Lucknow.The findings of this study illustrate that students have significantly positive need for guidance services and there is no significant differences in the perception for vocational, personal, social and personal guidance needs between the undergraduate students as per their gender.

CLASSROOM LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AS PREDICTOR OF ACHIEVEMENT AMONG HIGHER SECONDARY STUDENTS OF COMMERCE STREAM

Ashish Mishra

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5166 - 5176

Education is a continuous process and makes a person well-versed with the latest information and knowledge. ‘Commerce’ includes two types of activities, viz., Trade and Auxiliaries to trade. ‘Buying and Selling of goods’ is termed as trade. But there are a lot of other activities that are required to facilitate the purchase and sale of goods. These are called services or auxiliaries/aid to trade viz.- transport, banking, insurance, communication, advertisement, packaging and warehousing. Commerce education is considered as the backbone of business and it should be in tune with the changing trends. Commerce education has to play a crucial role in our society comprising of various political affiliations, religious institutions, economic units where, expertise of knowledge related to the field of commerce is very much essential. The term ‘Achievement’ refers to the degree or the level of success attained in some specific school tasks especially scholastic performances and in this sense academic achievement means the attained ability by the students to perform scholastic tasks, which may be general or specific to a given subject area. ‘Classroom Learning Environment’ or ‘Classroom Climate’ may be defined as classroom conditions, processes and psychological stimuli which influence the educational achievements of the children. It refers to those forces in the environment of the learner which have the potentiality to contribute to academic development of the learner. It may contain psycho-social conditions that characterize the overall interpersonal feeling tones existing within it. They are capable enough to affect the learning of the students. The present study has been conducted to find out whether the perceived stimulation of classroom learning environment by higher secondary students of commerce stream can predict their commerce achievement? The sample for the present study consists of 600 students (male=300 and female=300) selected with the help of multi stage stratified random sampling method from various higher secondary schools situated in Allahabad district (affiliated to U. P. board, Allahabad). For the purpose of data collection ‘Learning Environment Inventory (LEI)’ developed by K. S. Misra has been used and to find out achievement in commerce, the ‘Commerce Achievement Test (CAT)’ constructed and standardized by the investigator was administered on the students. ‘Step-wise Multiple Regression analysis’ technique has been used to find out the predictions.  Major findings of the study revealed that five dimensions of classroom learning environment can predict up to the extent of 13.1 % of the variance in commerce achievement and these dimensions of classroom learning environment in descending order are- apathy (6.8%), diversity (3.2%), encouragement (1.6%), democratic orientation (0.9%) and competition (0.6%) respectively.

Key-words: classroom learning environment, achievement, commerece-stream

INTEGRATING SOCIETY BY FAITH AND SOCIAL COHESION: ROLE OF WOMEN

Ritu Bakshi

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5177 - 5187


This paper examines the role of women, their faith and value system in building cohesive communities and examines their initiatives for developing and evaluating social cohesion activities. The term ‘community cohesion’ is increasingly used to denote local action and meaningful relationships between people from different backgrounds. This research sought to explore how meaningful interaction between individuals and groups is affected by differing access to resources, capacity and power between and within groups. The role of women in this regard becomes important as they are the ones who takes the maximum responsibility of upbringing of the child during the child`s formative years of life. These early years of child`s life are crucial for the mental development (including attitudes and prejudices) of the child. Therefore it’s the women, who could develop sound mental health among children who would become the future citizens. The secular values (like tolerance, respect of others etc) inculcated in these formative years among children prove to be a deciding factor in the child`s development in later years. It also depends upon the continuous learning which the mother provides to the children throughout its initial learning stage as well as moral and emotional support from mother which makes the child feel secure, thereby reducing the tendencies of developing aggression towards other people, in the future. The present study explores how faith and religious beliefs can influence   cohesion of the society and the development of shared values. The study also suggests that a climate of trust is needed for interaction that leads to shared values and the resolution of real issues. It identifies key issues for the inclusion of women within communities and in leadership positions for National Integration and Harmony. Failure to focus specifically on involving women in formal structures could marginalise and silence their voices. Existing structures may need to be reviewed with input from women as a more effective way of creating sustainable harmony and integration.

DEVELOPMENT OF ATTITUDE SCALE TOWARDS HUMAN RIGHTS

Suman Kumari Katoch

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5204 - 5209


The purpose of this study was to develop a valid attitude scale which measures the attitude of secondary school teachers towards human rights. For items writing of scale, criteria given by Thurstone and Chave (1929), Likert (1932), Bird (1940) and Edward & Kilpatrick (1948) was used. The first draft of test containing 52 items was administered on a sample of 208 secondary school teachers selected from government senior secondary schools. The ‘t’ was computed as recommended by Edwards (1957). Thurston (1961) suggested that ‘t’ value equal to or greater than 1.75 may be considered significant. So, the top 44 statements with the largest ‘t’ values (greater than 1.75) was retained as final draft of the scale. The correlation between the scores of the two halves of the attitude scale was computed by product-moment method. The reliability of scale was 0.92 and content validity of the attitude scale was determined while considering the items in the scale in preliminary draft and getting the language of each item checked by language expert.

Keywords: Human rights, Validity, Reliability, Item analysis & Experience.

REVISITING HER-STORIES: WOMEN, EMPOWERMENT AND INDIAN CULTURE

Moumita Sarkar & Chandan Adhikary

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5232 - 5238

 Women studies in recent times have been instrumental in accentuating gender issues perceptible in our society- a society that unabashedly revels in androcentrism. Significantly, to counter the adverse impact(s) of “sexual politics” (Millet) ensuing from the binary opposition of biological sexes, it is imperative for women to reclaim their usurp status by traversing the itinerary from the margin towards the centre. In accordance with this pressing need of regenerative womanhood we have sought, in this investigation, to trace the trajectory of Women Empowerment in the Indian context. To particularize we have attempted to document how the gradual strategic “othering” of the “second sex” (a derogatory phrase insinuating her marginalisation in an overtly patriarchal societal set-up) has indeed necessitated her transition from powerlessness to empowerment-an odyssey which can and will herald the dawn of a better future for womanhood.

P. A. Khadke & Mr. R. U. Kharat

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5239 - 5248

Urbanization is the dynamic process of worldwide phenomenon. Urban growth is affected by human interference and natural phenomena such as agricultural demand and trade. These causes are influenced by population growth, government policy and economic development. Remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS) are very valuable and advance technology is providing current land use information. The mostly changes of land use in these areas can be described as other type of land use has been converted into urban land.  The present study highlights significance of remote sensing in the change detection of urban land use changes for the deferent times periods of (1991 to 2011) using the satellite imagery. Satellite imageries Landsat-5 Tm (1991), Landsat-5 Tm (2001) and IRS P6 LISS4 data were using to map the urban land use for 1991 to 2011. Remote sensing imagery is the most important data resources of GIS. Global Position System also uses for capture the major features identification in the corporation area. Present work has carried out with the help of computer based GIS and Image processing software. The present study has shown that remote sensing techniques have tremendous potential for mapping and monitoring of land use. There is significant decrease of agriculture area and increase in settlement area from year 1991 to year 2011. The rapid urban growth has been converted most of the agricultural land into built-up land.

INCLUSIVE EDUCATION IN TEACHER EDUCATION: HOPES OR DELUSION

Nagappa P Shahapur & Omprakash H M

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5260 - 5267

 The position of teacher training in relation to its contribution to the development of inclusive thinking and practice on the part of student teachers is of fundamental importance.

Examine some crucial questions including:

1.      To what extent does the curriculum of teacher education encourage the development of inclusion in schools?

2.       What preparation and support do teachers need to implement inclusion?

3.      How are barriers to learning and participation overcome in teacher education?

The Institute of Education has a long and distinguished involvement in teacher education and has on several occasions been involved in critical and constructive analysis of various aspects of government policy. It is currently undertaking a further review of its provision and practice as part of a strategic review. It is crucial that the issue of inclusivity is given key prominence in our programmes. Supporting this possibility would be an involvement in what are advocating: that of the production of an \'Index for Inclusion of Teacher Education\'. This would draw on existing knowledge and experience of producing the Index for Schools. It would recognize the importance of a human rights perspective to education, emphasize the political nature of education, would advocate that inclusion is concerned with challenging and reducing inequalities and exclusionary values and practices and that it is very serious about enhancing the learning and participation of all students. Involvement in the discussions, explorations and production of such an  Index with its policy, theoretical and practical advantages, will provide an  opportunity to seriously and collaboratively explore what that of questioning the validity and value of \'special needs\'  discourse. In initial teacher education the inclusive approach that is being presented in this lecture would support the necessity of providing good and not special teachers.  Inclusivity in education is concerned with the pursuit of equity, social justice and non-discrimination and thus the identification and removal of ignorance, fear, prejudice and all the associated assumptions, relationships and practices. A valuable innovation in future courses which would be part of the intention to enhance inclusive thinking, values and practices, would be to include disability/equality awareness training as an essential part of course provision. This would be taught by qualified trainers.

Keywords: Inclusive Education, Teacher Education, Hopes or Delusion, Challenges and Perspectives.

RURAL EDUCATION IN INDIA: A SCENARIO

Nagappa P Shahapur & Omprakash H M

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5268 - 5272

India has the largest education system in the world after China. However, issues of Quality education and access remain challenges in some parts of the Country. The role of education in facilitating social and economic progress is well accepted. Access to education is critical to access emerging opportunities that accompany economic growth. Keeping in view of this accepted fact there has been a major thrust on education since independence, but as far as ensuring quality education in rural India is concerned it has always been one of the biggest challenges for the governments. India’s rural areas have been left behind in the wake of high growth in other cities in India. One cause of rural poverty is the inability for children in rural areas to obtain basic education. India aspires for universal compulsory primary Education, with its challenges of keeping poor children in school and maintaining quality of education in rural areas, has been difficult to achieve. It is essential to convince everyone in rural India that educating himself, children, parents, and even neighborhoods’ must be. One way of spreading the education must be encourage every student and share the knowledge with each other. Here rural education requires special attention to achieve rural education policy.

INNOVATIVE PRACTICES IN CURRICULUM TRANSACTIONS CONCERNS TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMME

Nagappa P Shahapur & Omprakash H M

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5273 - 5277

Quality of any educational system depends to a great extent on curriculum that is transacted. Curriculum and Textbooks have been considered important for improving quality and standard of education. In-fact the crux of the entire process of education lies in its curricular design, structure, organization and transaction modes. The world today seems to be ruled by the cyber world, which besides offering an ocean of knowledge has thrown up may a challenge including displacing the teacher. The teacher, who was the ultimate then, is today treated more as a service provider than a second parent. Education has become a business transaction driven by market principles where student-teacher and the community are the ‘stakeholders’ and classroom interaction, the delivery of ‘goods’. Should the trend continue, what we will produce will be mere commodities without souls. For education to be meaningful, not only is the choice of curriculum with its thrust on essential areas, important but the manner in which it is imported. In today’s context, mere classroom delivery will not suffice. The means is as important as the end. During the last few decades teacher education curricula has come under severe criticism and their weakness have been highlighted. Some educationists feel that they do not fully address the needs of contemporary Indian Schools and society and they do not prepare teachers who can import quality education in schools. Effective curriculum frameworks for initial teacher education aimed at developing professionalism in pre-service teachers are expected to have their base in well-defined standards for various levels of school teachers.

Key words: Innovative Practices, Curriculum Transactions, Two Years B.Ed Programme.

WOMEN UPLIFTMENT: IMPLEMENTATION AND PERFORMANCE OF MGNREGA

Shrutika Mukhija & R.K.Sant

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5278 - 5288

National rural employment guarantee act 2005, which was later renamed as MGNREGA i.e. “Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act” is a measure that guarantee the “right to work”. It aims to give security of livelihood in rural areas by giving minimum 100 days of wages employment to the adult members of households in each financial year for unskilled manual work. NREGA implements from 2 February 2006 by Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh in about 200 districts and covered all the districts of India from 1 April 2008. MGNREGA also provide durability by creating rural assets like roads, canals, ponds, walls etc. Gram Panchayat play an important role in MGNREGA as by providing registration form and issuing job cards. According to constitution of India NREGA follows Article 46 that promotes the upliftment of the SC, ST from the discrimination and exploitation in the society. MGNREGA focuses on the economic security, women empowerment, asset creation, corporation and development in agriculture sector as well. By increasing their agriculture wages and studies have found that agriculture wages especially for women have increased significantly. About one third of the employment of all employment is reserved for women in this act. In this paper we will discuss all possible components of MGNREGA under all aspects which are affecting it directly or indirectly. There is a significant achievement of MGNREGA in most states is potential around years but in some states it is lacking behind in some aspects. About seventy percent expenditure on MGNREGA is on wages which has increased the bargaining power of  labour and also increases the employment opportunities and flexible working hours. Apart from implementation of this scheme there are certain socio- economic features which restrict women – participation in some places. Environment safety and adaptability is a certain issue arises among government. The MGNREGA is focuses on these issues state-wise. The key issue which affects the implementation of MGNREGA is a problem of awareness among the people of rural areas and backward communities about different benefits guidelines of MGNREGA. Various recommendations are welcomed with greater compliance with provision of MGNREGA guidelines especially for women upliftment. Every state has monitored the indicators at highest level to track MGNREGA implementation of women upliftment.

Deepa Awasthi

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5363 - 5381

Over the last one decade good private schools, have emphasised on providing adequate physical facilities to students so that they can get an environment similar to which they are use to at their homes. Well designed building, attractive painting, tile floorings, fully air-conditioned classrooms, comfortable seating facilities, well maintained playgrounds, outdoor–indoor games facilities with expert trainers, filtered and cooled drinking water, clean and hygienic toilets, modern teaching methods are the few focus points educational institutes are stressing upon now a days. Although these physical facilities are not directly connected to quality of education but it is true that these amenities can be helpful in creating an environment which usually attracts the students especially at primary and pre primary level. These facilities can successfully bring the child at school door with smile on their face leading to increase in enrolment and also be helpful in reducing the problem of drop outs. In this research paper author has visited the 100 government primary schools randomly selected from ten educational blocks of Lucknow District and discussed the issue of scarcity of physical facilities in their school with the head teachers/in charge teachers with the help of interview schedule method. With the help of percentage technique investigator has analysed the data obtained and came to conclusion that immediate steps are need of the hour to improve basic physical facilities in government primary schools to ensure quality education to all.

THE FEMALE PROTAGONIST OF SHASHI DESHPANDE’S A MATTER OF TIME: AN IMAGE OF SOLIDARITY AND DETERMINATION

Tukaram S. Sawant

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5405 - 5417

\"\"Shashi Deshpande, a well-known Indian woman novelist in English, has eleven novels and four children’s books to her credit. Her novels are simple stories dealing with the lives of the ordinary people, women in particular, with their heads and hearts. Her women are the human beings who breathe and live around each one of us. They belong to the world of flesh and blood. The main thread of her novels is woven around the life of her women with their struggle for self-realization, self-assertion and emancipation. Since Indian society, to a large extent, has deeply been rooted in patriarchy, women have been facing injustice, suppression, oppression, subjugation and exploitation in one way or the other. They are the victims of social ills and evils prevalent in a contemporary society. In spite of being educated, they have been looked down upon with contempt; they have been reduced to the status of a plaything; they have been treated as lifeless objects used to fulfil men’s sexual desire and also as child-bearing machines. Deshpande, who is fighting for the cause of women, gives an outlet to her resentment at injustice done to them in the name of patriarchy.Her women exhibit inner strength, courage, confidence, solidarity and determination in their struggle against the hardships of their lives. They rebel against patriarchy and move on with an urge to turn their dreams into reality. The present article intends to explore the character of Sumitra, the protagonist of A Matter of Time, an epitome of love, strength, solidarity and determination.

It also attempts to study the effectiveness of the exercise in simulating the complexities of leading change in a classroom setting. The experiential exercise was conducted on a sample of 17 post-graduate students of University of Delhi. The data that emerged from the activity and post-activity discussion reflects that a lack of clear communication, trust, transparency, perspective taking, and accountability between the management and the workers are the major difficulties in a change process. The negotiation of power between the managers and workers and the influence of group norms were the strongest barriers. The findings of the present study are based on a single conduction of one experiential exercise.

Ranjana Ruhela

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5439 - 5445

\"\"For the development of the country or state we need to build quality teachers, more quality schools, increase the retention of students. Though there are many schemes and plans made by the Government but these plans are not implemented fully especially in Uttarakhand Primary School level. At Primary District School level dropout rates are high. Plans are made by the Government but they are not implemented properly nor monitored accordingly.  There are many other factors like environment and lack of proper human resources which are affecting the dropout rates of students. Awareness about importance of education and the proper ways through which education can be imparted efficiently for that step need to be taken. Education should be imparted without any gender biasness and social disparity as education is for all.  For that Government has to take sudden strict actions and implement all the schemes and plans efficiently.The present study suggests that even if government makes plans they are not fully implemented and results are not up to the mark. Student retention is very less according to the expectations. Primary schools are being closed due to less number of student enrollments in schools. For that qualitative teachers needs to be recruited in large number and proper facilities needs to be provided. These things need to be taken into consideration and proper monitoring as well as vigorous checking of these plans has to take place for reducing the dropout rates of primary students in Uttarakhand.

Key Words: Conveyance, Vigorous, Monitoring, Implement, Retaining, Dropout.

TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS FOR CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

Sunita Jain

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5484 - 5488

Transactional Analysis is a theory developed by Dr. Eric Berne in the 1950s. Dr. Berne proposed that verbal communication is the core of all social interactions, especially the face-to-face communication. We find that some people are authoritative in their tone and body language; some are vulnerable – childlike while some are curt -straight forward and tend to take instant decisions. Classroom dynamics too are similar in nature. Students from different backgrounds with different aptitude and attitude communicate in the classroom. Teachers sometimes find it difficult to understand the transaction pattern of children leading to misunderstanding and misconceptions. So to provide an extra edge to the teachers the understanding of Transactional analysis comes very handy.

EQUITY AND INCLUSION IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Subhash Singh

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5489 - 5494

 Higher education in India is passing through a phase of unprecedented expansion, marked by an explosion in the volume of students, a substantial expansion in the number of institutions and a quantum jump in the level of public funding. The enormity of the challenge of providing equal opportunities for quality higher education to ever-growing number of students is also a historic opportunity for correcting sectoral and social imbalances, reinvigorating institutions, crossing international benchmarks of excellence and extending the frontiers of knowledge. The12th FYP shall focus on utilizing this historic opportunity of expansion for deepening excellence and achieving equal access to quality higher education. 11th FYP Achievements: India has made enormous strides in achieving these goals in more than six decades since independence, and the success milestones of its higher education system are recognized globally. Yet, considerable challenges remain. To meet these challenges, the University Grants Commission (UGC) called for a major thrust for expansion of higher education and promotion of greater regional and social equity in the 11th FYP. During this Plan, provision was made for setting up of 16 new Central Universities and 374 Model Colleges in low Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) districts. The Government of India (GoI) provided for concomitant expansion with equity through implementation of the recommendations of the Oversight Committee. There was also a continued focus on achieving quality and supporting reforms in higher education and promoting excellence. But considerable challenges remain.

Web 2 technology in banking is the wave of the future. It provides enormous benefits to Banks   and consumers in terms of the ease and cost of transactions. Across the world, Banking industry is rolling out a broad array of initiatives that place bold bets on web 2.0 technologies including wikis, blogs, mobile apps, and social media , which they expect will fundamentally change how they attract and retain customers.  Web 2.0 is the next step in the evolution of the Internet and While banks may take comfort in their incumbent advantage, technologically-enabled non-bank challengers have been ramping up their capabilities in a significantly faster pace and are notably stronger today, challenging the privileged access and relationships traditional transaction banks currently enjoy with their customers .

THE MANIFESTATION POSTMODERN PERSPECTIVES IN R.K.NARAYAN’S NOVELS

Bhagvanbhai. H.Chaudhari

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5584 - 5594

The chief tone of R.K.Narayan’s fictional universe is considered comical, although this comic vision fully interprets philosophical facets of Indian culture and civilization. One of the celebrated novelists of 20th century India, Narayan’s creative genius seems committed to national ethics and Gandhian perspectives. Some of his novels had been published during the post-1980 period. His novels like A Tiger For Malgudi (1983), World of Nagraj (1990) are considered postmodern texts. Narayan belonged to earlier generation of the Indian Writing in English who not only witnessed the decline of colonial governance but also experienced the status of democratic nation. Hence, his creative span almost covers the entire 20th century in which he represents a variety of themes voicing modern as well as postmodern perspectives in its vivid forms. Some of the features of modernism retained its status even in postmodernism. To judge the fixed criterions and particular phase to define modernism and postmodernism is rather an awkward exercise. Some of the facets or techniques employed by postmodern novelists like magical realism, the cultural encounter between the East and the West, historiographic metafiction, erosion of moral values, changing standards, spread of corruption, reflexivity and self-consciousness are fully evident in Narayan’s fictional Malgudi milieu. This paper examines the such postmodern perspectives observed especially in Narayan’s novels: The English Teacher, A Tiger for Malgudi, The Guide and The Man-eater of Malgudi

SYSTEMATISING CHAOS: CLEAN DEVELOPMENT AND THE PROBLEMS OF URBAN SOCIETY

Purva Bhatt

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5631 - 5641


A rubbish heap can grow but it does not develop. Ackoff, R. L. (1994).  The exponential growth of cities and towns has affected the urban sociology in more than one ways. Urbanisation is taking place at a faster rate in India. Population residing in urban areas in India, according to 1901 census, was 11.4%. (Singh, 1978).  This count increased to28.53% according to 2001 census, and crossing 30% as per 2011 census, standing at 31.16%. Roy, B. (2012, June 15). The need for clean development is no more a luxury but a dire necessity. The haphazard growth of towns and lack of far sightedness has created a risk society, which bothers rich and poor equally. Beck, U. (1992). The paper discusses significance and immediate need to resolve the problems of urban society regarding its humungous growth and dispersion. The paper further analyses civil society’s behavior pattern and suggests solutions.

 In this article an attempt has been to find out the Sudra life in early India. Sudra life in early India was very miserable. He was given the remnant food. He was the servant of upper varnas. He lives on the mercy of upper varnas. He was considered impure. He has to work at the home of upper varnas for earning two times bread. He had no civil and religious rights. He had old beds and worn out clothes. He had not allowed to get education. If he committed any mistake by chance, then his punishment was very hard. He was not owner of anything. He was a tiller. He was an artisan but not owner. He was considered the fourth varna.  He was created by upper varnas for their benefits. In the concluded form we can say that he led his life on the mercy of two upper varnas. His life in early India was very miserable because he was deprived from everything. There is composition of different thoughts of great Historians, in this article, who have thrown the light on the sudra life in early India. This article would  be very helpful  for the government policy makers to make the policy for the sudra Varna to uplift.

INTEGRATING SOCIETY BY FAITH AND SOCIAL COHESION: ROLE OF WOMEN

Ritu Bakshi

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5728 - 5738

This paper examines the role of women, their faith and value system in building cohesive communities and examines their initiatives for developing and evaluating social cohesion activities. The term ‘community cohesion’ is increasingly used to denote local action and meaningful relationships between people from different backgrounds. This research sought to explore how meaningful interaction between individuals and groups is affected by differing access to resources, capacity and power between and within groups. The role of women in this regard becomes important as they are the ones who takes the maximum responsibility of upbringing of the child during the child`s formative years of life. These early years of child`s life are crucial for the mental development (including attitudes and prejudices) of the child. Therefore it’s the women, who could develop sound mental health among children who would become the future citizens. The secular values (like tolerance, respect of others etc) inculcated in these formative years among children prove to be a deciding factor in the child`s development in later years. It also depends upon the continuous learning which the mother provides to the children throughout its initial learning stage as well as moral and emotional support from mother which makes the child feel secure, thereby reducing the tendencies of developing aggression towards other people, in the future. The present study explores how faith and religious beliefs can influence   cohesion of the society and the development of shared values. The study also suggests that a climate of trust is needed for interaction that leads to shared values and the resolution of real issues. It identifies key issues for the inclusion of women within communities and in leadership positions for National Integration and Harmony. Failure to focus specifically on involving women in formal structures could marginalise and silence their voices. Existing structures may need to be reviewed with input from women as a more effective way of creating sustainable harmony and integration.

MAKING SENSE OF PROSPECTS OF DIGITAL EDUCATION

Kiran Rani alias Kiran Shayna & Ashish Kumar Dhawan

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5746 - 5753

There would be no two opinions about the fact that the advent of digital technology has revolutionized modern life. It has drastically changed almost every aspect of modern life. A plethora of questions, however, still haunt us, especially in terms of its accessibility both to rural India and low-income groups in urban India, as also with regard to its use and credibility in the eyes of all those who pursue digital learning and the potential employers of digital learners. An attempt has been made to make deeper sense of these issues by the authors of this Paper through case-studies of two universities of Haryana i.e. Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak and Central University of Haryana, Mahendergarh. A questionnaire was developed and administered to a randomly selected sample of 123 teachers and students of the above-stated universities and some interesting patterns were observed through the responses of the respondents along five dimensions i.e. (a) Awareness (b) Genesis (c) Utility (d) Contribution/Participation (e) Potential/Possibilities. It is hoped that the observations and suggestions registered in this Paper will help formulate better policies for the effective implementation of digital education to the extent it is required.

OPEN BOOK EXAMINATION: A TOOL FOR ASSESSMENT

Mrs. Vishavpreet Kaur

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5784 - 5788

 Advanced countries are restructuring their educational systems and preparing to make changes in the human to intellectual capital for meeting the economic and manpower demands of the 21st century. Educationalist and academicians opined it is necessary to build a young community who are able to think independently and creatively and able to process the information analytically. Scholars opined that in order to develop creative and independent thinkers, more open-ended tasks that reflect real-life situations –questions involving problem-solving should be incorporated in examinations. It is generally accepted that open book examinations create an enriched environment, offering the student an opportunity to better understand and respond to a particular question.

RIGHT TO BE FREE FROM NOISE POLLUTION IN INDIA: LEGAL PROVISIONS AND JUDICIAL INTERPRETATIONS

Deepak Kumar

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5821 - 5830

\"\"Noise is an unwanted product and a type of atmospheric pollution. It has a serious effect on human health but not received the exact degree of legal concern as devoted to other kind of pollution like, air, water etc. Though several provisions are available on the issue of noise pollution in India but these are in scattered form viz. in the law of torts, Air Act etc. Our Judiciary has also given less attention on noise pollution. No separate mechanism is there to monitor and control the problem of noise pollution. Therefore, there is urgent requirement to give required degree of legal concern to this form of pollution to maintain a decent quality of human life. In view of the above, this paper tries to outline the role of existing laws and the perception of judiciary and its efforts in context to right to be free from noise in India. To achieve enshrined objectives in this paper, the analytical approach on the laws and judicial interpretation has been applied.

DESIGNING OF CONSTRUCTIVIST LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS (CLES)

Vandana Maheshwari

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5831 - 5839

Current recommendations from the education research community stress the importance of active engagement as a learning strategy, particularly at the introductory level. There are different types of learners having different level of interactivity, different learning styles, motivation, memory and retention. Teachers can design their content which will generally consider all above mentioned characteristics of the learner. So the question arises how to shift from traditional instruction? How to develop contributory, sharing, and cognitive approaches on groups for problem solving? Present paper explores a few approaches for effective learning in the present context.  

Keywords: Constructivist learning environments, Brain based learning, Co-operative learning.

SOCIO-CULTURAL AND BEHAVIORAL FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR OPEN AIR DEFECATION IN REMOTE AREAS OF RURAL UP

Lalit Kumar Singh & Mukesh Chand

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5840 - 5845

 In rural areas, almost 70% of households do not have a toilet or latrine. Open defecation in rural India is a human development emergency that is causing infant deaths, child stunting, and widespread infectious diseases. Despite concerted government efforts for the last three decades to promote sanitation, India has barely managed to achieve its Millennium Development Goal sanitation target to halve the proportion of the world’s population without access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015. In 2011 sanitation coverage globally was 64 %. While open defecation is declining across the globe, 15 % (one billion) of the global population still defecate outdoors[1].Efforts to increase rural sanitation coverage in India largely started with the Central Rural Sanitation Programme (CRSP) in 1986. This subsidy-based supply-driven approach to promote sanitation did not yield sustained impact, and the CRSP was replaced in 1999 with the TotalSanitation Campaign (TSC) [2] . Government subsidized latrines were mostly found unfinished. Many counted as complete per government standards for disbursement of financial subsidies to contracted NGOs were not accepted by their owners and termed as ‘incomplete’. These latrines lacked a roof, door, adequate walls and any provision for water supply in or near the cabin, whereas rural people had elaborate processes of cleansing with water post defecation, making presence of a nearby water source important. Habits, socializing, sanitation rituals and daily routines varying with caste, gender, marital status, age and lifestyle, also hindered the adoption of latrines. Interest in constructing latrines was observed among male heads for their female members especially a newlywed daughter-in-law, reflecting concerns for their privacy, security, and convenience. This paper elaborates on these different factors. Findings show that providing infrastructure does not ensure use when there are significant and culturally engrained behavioural barriers to using latrines. Future sanitation programmes in rural India need to focus on understanding and addressing these behavioural barriers

INFLUENCE OF ECONOMIC FACTORS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS’ EMPOWERMENT

S. Sujitha

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5863 - 5874

 The study was conducted to know the Economic factors that affects the performance of women entrepreneurs’ empowerment and to find out the significant difference in their agreement with respect to economic factors for independence of women entrepreneurs.  For this purpose the researcher collected the data from 120 women entrepreneurs by using a questionnaire with 57 questions.  The raw data was analysed using the SPSS package and found the mean, SD, 2 and t value to know the significant difference among the opinions of respondents.  The major economic factors that affect women entrepreneurs in Hyderabad according to their severity order are financial access given by micro finances and other credit institutions ( =1.45 & SD=1.08), adequate infrastructure ( =2.88 & SD=1.38), stiff competition in the market ( =2.90 & SD=1.12) and managerial skills ( =2.97 & SD=1.20). The women entrepreneurs are not serious economic problems such as own premises to run the business ( =4.00 & SD=0.77), access to different business trainings ( =3.62 & SD=1.00) and access to information to exploit business opportunities ( =3.48 & SD=1.26). The results, according to hypotheses, shows that there is no significant difference in the agreement of women entrepreneurs (sectors such as trade, production, services and hand-craft) of Hyderabad city on the basis of economic factors (F-value = 0.988). This implies, the impact of globalization is reflected in women entrepreneurs in general and Hyderabad in particular; but the attitude of the society towards empowerment of women entrepreneurs seems to be relatively changed.

Chandrakant Sakharam Lonkar

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5885 - 5889

 “Activity based learning or ABL gives a range of pedagogical approaches to teaching. Its core premise involes the requirement that learning should be depend upon doing some hands on experiments and activities.” The idea of activity based learning is rooted in the common notion that children learn actively rather than passive recipients of information. They are active participants (“Activity Based Learning in India,”2011).
The basic skills in English are the base of English language learning. The objectives of teaching learning of English language are the same. These skills are gateways of further English language proficiency. So the researcher has picked up the idea to develop activity based learning program.

 The Social science subject encompass diverse concerns of society and include a wide range of content, drawn from the disciplines of History, geography, political science, economics and sociology. Therefore social science teaching needs to be revitalized towards helping the learner acquire knowledge and skills in an interactive environment.
The social science curriculum over the past years has changed drastically both in content and methodology. It has often been noticed that there is an increasing gap between the promises made to the curriculum and what is happening at the level of child’s perception. Therefore selection and organization of resources to enable students to develop a critical understand of society is a challenging task. For teaching History to hearing and speech impaired students again a very challenging work from teachers 
Teaching should be seen as an opportunity for teachers and students to learn together. This paper focuses on how to make teaching learning process more effective and enjoyable by using various innovative methods of teaching history subject to hearing and speech impaired students.

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5919 - 5924

Lifelong learning is Universal Phenomenon, the development of lifelong learning in University Level, which factor is responsible and how they acquired a prominent role in adult education. In the International level like the UNESCO Plays prime role in the development of lifelong learning. The CONFINTEA VI sixth International conference on Adult education was held in  Belém, Brazil, on 1-4 Dec 2009, which is known as ‘Belém Framework for Action’ among many other issues, that quality in adult education and lifelong learning must be holistic and multidimensional both as a concept and in practice, using various tools such as partnerships with higher education institutions. Adult education is the programme of government institutions, private sector and corporate sector is not working for adult education, University department of Adult, Continuing Education and Extension and government functionary has no coordination. The author will identify some reason and CONFINTEA role, it will suggest some strategy for co-ordination of lifelong learning and adult education progrmme the higher education institutions should promote quality research on adult education and develop active citizenship. For the lifelong learning development CONFINTEA and UNESCO Plays prime role. The Author suggests that a balanced position may help Universities and Private sector, NGOs and Corporate Sector in setting themselves up as better and more effective learning organizations.

SCHIZOPHRENIA---A BIG CHALLENGE OF SOME STUDENTS DURING LATE ADOLESCENCE AND EARLY ADULTHOOD

Pradip Debnath

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5942 - 5947

Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder which is a matter of high concern because of its rising prevalence in the society. The duration of the age of onset of the problem is 15-25 years, though there are some exceptions beyond this age-group. A kind of aloofness from the society is found in the person suffering from schizophrenia. It is a global problem about which awareness is very less. So the need of the study was felt by the author. The secondary sources of data were used for the study, and analytical method of treating the data was applied. As per the findings of the study, early intervention is extremely essential for the effective management of schizophrenia. Special class-care, individualized curriculum and method, parental affection, etc. help a lot to mainstream and rehabilitate the schizophrenic students. The symptoms of schizophrenic students help in identification of the problem. Taking preventive measure is the only safe way for schizophrenia. Key Words: Schizophrenia, psychotic disorder, symptoms, intervention, prevention, care.

SCAVENGING LEAD FROM WATER USING NANO CELLULOSE

Dev Prakash

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5959 - 5964

Nano fibrillary cellulose with sodium maleate groups was synthesized by the reaction of cellulose with maleic anhydride followed by sodium exchange of protons. In the present work, we demonstrate that these carboxylic groups act as Chemisorb ants towards toxic heavy metal ions present in contaminated water. The effects of the operating parameters such as resident time, temperature, pH, ion concentration and ion nature on chemisorb ability were estimated for a given cellulose carboxylate. The kinetic results for the chemisorption of Pb2+ ion were indicative of an intra particle diffusion model and pseudo second order reaction. The chemisorption is well explained by a Freundlich isotherm model showing a multilayer chemisorption, heterogeneous surface and interaction between chemisorbed molecules. The chemisorption capability was enhanced upon decreasing the dimension of the cellulose fibril. The efficiency depended also on the nature of metal ions, dictated by the stability of the geometry of the resultant complex. The maximum chemisorption capacities of macro, micro and nano forms of sodium cellulose-maleate for Pb2+ were 20 mg/g, 40 mg/g and115mg/g, respectively at pH of 5.5. The ion exchanged nano-cellulose maleate could be regenerated by sodium chloride solution without loss of efficiency even after 7 cycles. Keywords: Nano fibrillary cellulose, Chemisorb ants, Heterogeneous surface, Cellulose-maleate.

Many an English poet and philosopher like T.S. Eliot has taken a great inspiration from Indian mythology, this impact has imparted a unique touch to his creations. The American poets, novelists and philosophers, like Emerson, Thoreau, Walt Whiteman and Melville etc. have also been profoundly influenced by it. Herman Melville has studied, explored and employed the Indic lore and mythological references in his novels, stories and poems in order to give a better and sharper view of life. Herman Melville was gifted person with a vision He was inspired and stimulated by Indian thought and philosophy. Indian Mythology is universally appreciated for its depth of thought and profundity of ideologies. Morals of “Ramayana” and “Mahabharata” had been influenced the foreign literature so far. The social principles of Bhawadt Geeta and its theory of Karma and Yoga had influenced the English Literature of entire globe. Melville has been tremendously influenced by Indian thoughts, philosophy and mythology. The impact of Indian mythology and philosophy in found in all his works.

Coatings based on epoxies-hardeners-fatty acids compositions are widely discovered with modifications as per need, those are particularly incorporated in automobile, construction, marine, aircraft, electrical, food-dairy industries, leather and tanning industries and chemical industries. Phenolic resins are well known for two major applications in molding and laminates. They are also applied in other applications. All the plates were dried and heated in an oven at 900C for 2h to ensure complete evaporation of solvent from the coatings. Then coated plates were post cured at 1500C for 2h to complete curing. A fine coating was observed on plates with good adhesion to the substrates. The coated plates were tested for their surface resistivity and water, acid and salt resistance. The surface resistivity was found more than 2000 M?. The coating was deteriorated slowly after 24 h due to small cavities at the surfaces or cavities due to entrapped solvent molecules on the film’s surface. Bonds could be made to metals and glass without resorting to the application of pressure irregular surfaces. Therefore the discovery of the bonding function of epoxy resins introduced a new concept in adhesive materials and inaugurated the modern approach to the technology of adhesive bonding.

Application of Interactive White Board in Classrooms: Revolution in Teachers Training Programme

Bina Prasad

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5974 - 5980

In 2008, an educational organization that works in 60 countries across: the world, established a pilot project whereby smart classrooms were installed for use in six middle and senior high schools in Israel. In this project, each school received 10 Interactive White Boards (IWBs) (25% of the total numbers of classrooms in the school), 32 laptops, internet connection, communication software and teacher training. Formative evaluation accompanied the pilot project for two years in order to examine the effects of integrating technology into instruction on teachers, students, and the school community. The findings indicated the following: a) student motivation and engagement in the learning process increased when studying with the IWB; b) teachers reported on their professional development and enhanced technology skills. The findings also showed that the integration of technology into instruction posed some difficulties and challenges, such as a sense of over-burdening among teachers. The main conclusions were the following: a) there is a need to focus on the pedagogical training of the teachers, with an emphasis on the ways that technology can assist interactive teaching; b) in order to help relieve the over-burdening of teachers, a database of instructional tools should be established providing suggestions for lesson plans and instructional materials; c) accessibility to the technology should be extended to more teachers and students by adding smart classrooms to every school in the project.

Akhilesh Kumar Singh

Issue: May-Jun, 2017 | Volume/Issue:4/31 | Page No.: 5991 - 5995

Ger in higher educational institutions in India have been increasing rapidly over the past half –century , but the proportionate representation of SC/ST student is very slow. Their participation is characterized by clustering in the non-professional and non- market courses in higher education . Exclusionary trends in higher education for SC/STs are the result of financial barriers such as low economic status increasing private costs of education , proliferation of private and self-financing institutions , increasing costs of private education , and non-financial barriers such as less privileged socio-economic background, academic background socio-cultural background, generation gap,social support and socio- political factors .

Slums are bye-products of urbanization and industrialization. Slum is an area emerging with the industrialization and urbanization, where the buildings are unfit for human habitation, overcrowded, lack of ventilation, light or sanitation facilities or combination of these factors leading to backwardness.  Slum dwellers suffer from economic hardships, lack of education and absence of health infrastructure, ill-effects of overcrowding, pollution and rootlessness characteristic of large metropolitan cities.  In spite of the fact that they are living in the developing/growing or expanding metropolitan cities, and they contribute significantly for the development of the cities, their socio-economic conditions are different and backward. Moreover, their conditions and characteristics vary across regions.

The concept of slums and its definition vary from country to country depending upon the socio-economic characteristics of each society.  Irrespective of location, whether in the core of the city, in the form of old dilapidated structures or in the outskirts, in the form of squatting, slums have often been characterized.  Physically, slum is an area of the city with inadequate housing, deficient facilities, overcrowding and congestion.  Socially, slum is a way of life, a special character which has its own set of norms and values  reflected in poor sanitation, health values, health practices, deviant behaviour and social isolation. Slum is defined as that area, where the buildings are in any respect unfit for human habitation, or by reason of dilapidation, overcrowding, faulty arrangement of buildings, streets lack of ventilation, light or sanitation facilities or combination of these factors, are detrimental to safety, health or morals (Slums Improvement and Clearance Act, 1956).  Slums are not fit for settlement and are a danger both for residents and the urban population living nearby. The authors analyses would like to the Slums and Urbanization in India.
