1 THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF TASK BASED LEARNING (TBL) APPROACH., Tonia Grace Ganta Task based l anguage learning approach aimed at developing the cognitive as well as the communicative skills of language learners and so the language teachers, researchers, textbook writers and course designers welcomed the approach as cognitive skills play a vital rol e in today’s competitive environment. In order to cater to the demand of the day the text book publishers started labelling text books as task based. Syllabus designers started claiming that their syllabus is based on task based learning, though some of th em are not aware of the difference between task - supported learning and task based learning. The present paper seeks to study and present the strengths and weaknesses of Task based learning approach. The factors that contributed to the task based revolutio n and the different types of tasks that are used in a language classroom are also discussed.

3 SECURE PACKETS IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS BASED ON FREQUENCY - SELECTIVE CHANNELS, J.THIRUMARAN & S. RAJA W ireless sensor network faces several unique challenges. The scale, resource limitations, and new threats such as node capture suggest the use of in - network key generation. The wireless channel itself can be used t o generate information theoretic secure keys. By exchanging sampling messages during device movement, a bit string is derived known only to the two involved entities. Yet, movement is not the only option to generate randomness: the channel response strongl y depends on the signal frequency as well. In this work, we introduce a key generation protocol based on the frequency - selectivity of multipath fading channels. We discuss in this paper how to secure packets in wireless networks.

None of the colleges subscribed any journal of physical education to their institutions .
6 MICROTEACHING, AN EFFICIENT TECHNIQUE FOR LEARNING EFFECTIVE TEACHING, Chaman Lal Banga Teachers are an extremely important facet of any so ciety for a multitude of reasons. Teachers are the people who educate the youth of society who in turn become the leaders of the next generation of people. Teachers are the people who are teaching children and imparting knowledge upon them in their most im pressionable years, what these kids learn from their teachers at a young age will most likely stay with them in some facet for the rest of their lives. So, teachers certainly have a significant mark on the development of young children and even older child ren alike, as they are teaching them and helping them develop their knowledge so that they can go on in life and be responsible and productive members of society. Microteaching is a teacher training technique for learning teaching skills. It employs real t eaching situation for developing skills and helps to get deeper knowledge regarding the art of teaching. Microteaching can be practiced with a very small lesson or a single concept and a less number of students. It scales down the complexities of real teac hing, as immediate feedback can be sought after each practice session. Knowledge acquisition, skill acquisition, and transfer are the three different phases of microteaching. Describes the various phases of microteaching. Knowledge acquisition phase is the preparatory, pre - active phase, in which the teacher gets trained on the skills and components of teaching through lectures, discussion, illustration, and demonstration of the skill by the experts. In the interactive, skill acquisition phase, the teacher p lans a micro - lesson for practicing the demonstrated skills. This paper highlights on microteaching as an efficient technique for learning effective teaching.

9 INTELLECTUAL INERTIA: FRIEND AND FOE FOR AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION TO GROW, Vijay Kumar Grover The paper attempts to conceptualize and analyze the concept of intellectual inertia due to absence of a genuine definition. The term is less prevalent in education literature, rather crystalizing through internet based discussions, but of significant value. Intellectual inertia is an analogy of a physics entity known as inertia of matter. In tellectual inertia can be individual as well as collective in nature. In an educational institution both individual as well as collective intellectual inertia operate. Like inertia of matter intellectual inertia is also a neutral entity which can be work f or and against an educational institution. Paper elaborates when intellectual inertia can be used as a friend and avoided to become foe for an institution. Finally possible approaches to use intellectual inertia in favor of an educational institution are elaborated followed by tools could be used in these strategies. Paper is a thought provoking effort to theorize the effectiveness of an educational institution by capturing the minds in terms of intellectual inertia.

11 CONSTRUCTIVISM IN BIOLOGY INSTRUCTION, Shubneet Sidhu There are many learning theories which we study under Educational Psychology. Constructi vism is one of them which focus on developing the learners ‘knowledge by constructing the world around them through experience, observation, documentation, analysis and reflection. In the classrooms of today, learners are no longer passive recipients nor a re the teachers ‘givers of information, knowledge and wisdom’. According to constructivist perspective, the teaching or the learning of biology is not the search for the ultimate truth. So, the process of learning biology involves active construction of kn owledge by children, and then the classroom environment must call for more synergies rather than mere individual participation. The teachers need to develop the ability to work with children creatively to generate new ideas, new theories, new products and new knowledge.
12 WORLD - CLASS EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS, Kalpana J. Modi If we check the assessment criteria in ou r academic institutions, we will find that getting published in foreign journals is given greater weight. The same is true for work experience gained abroad. Foreign collaborations are actively sought in India. Those who have published in foreign journals or those who have foreign degrees are supposed to be superior. Academic institutions advertise their joint programmes with institutions based in western countries. People with MBA degrees from some select institutions abroad get better salaries in Indian c ompanies. Indian scientists work all their life for getting recognition abroad. India should be able to generate its own world - class academics and researches. These people will be an inspiration to the future generation. This can happen only with improveme nt in School Education.
13 SOCIO - GEOGRAPHICAL PHENOMENA OF WOMEN’S LITERACY IN INDIA, Prakash Vir Singh The Indian government has expressed a strong commitment towards education for all; however, India s till has one of the lowest female literacy rates in Asia. In 1991, less than 40 percent of the 330 million women aged 7 and over were literate, which means today there are over 200 million illiterate women in India. This low level of literacy not only has a negative impact on women’s lives but also on their families’ lives and on their country’s economic development. Numerous studies show that illiterate women have high levels of fertility and mortality, poor nutritional status, low earning potential, and l ittle autonomy within the household. A woman’s lack of education also has a negative impact on the health and well being of her children. For instance, a recent survey in India found that infant mortality was inversely related to mother’s educational level . Additionally, the lack of an educated population can be an impediment to the country’s economic development. The present research paper is focusing towards the same.
14 INTERACTION EFFECT OF SEX, ACHIEVEMENT - MOTIVATION, AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE ON SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE OF PUPIL - TEACHERS, Prem Shankar Srivastava The present study has bee n carried out to assess the interaction effect of sex, achievement - motivation and emotional intelligence on spiritual intelligence on a sample of 100 pupil - teachers both male (44) and female (56) by applying a (2x2x2) three ways factorial design. The data has been collected with the help of Spiritual Intelligence Self - Report Inventory (King, 2008), Achievement - Motivation Test (Rao, 1974) and Emotional Intelligence Scale (Kumar, 2004). It has been revealed that the main effects of achievement - motivation, and emotional intelligence as well as first order interaction namely sex, and achievement - motivation are found to be significant whereas the main effect of sex as well as the various interactions such as first order except (sex x achievement - motivation) and second order interactions are found to be non - significant. However, the present study suggests about educational implication for the community.

17 EFFECTS OF YOGA COMBINED WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERVENTION ON PERSONALITY AMONG SCHOOL BOYS, Sendhil, V. and Kannappan, R. Personality traits are long lasting personal characteristics that influence the one’s perception and thoughts and guide actions under various conditions. The present study a imed to investigate the effect of yoga with psychological intervention on personality of students in the age group of 11 to 13 years. For the purpose of investigation 120 students from 6th, 7th and 8th standards from two different schools were randomly ass igned into experimental group (n - 60) and control group (n - 60). In the Pre - post control design, the experimental group was exposed to yoga with psychological intervention to improve their personality traits. The control group was not exposed to the training for the entire period. The teachers rated the School Behavior Checklist for the children (SCHOBL) at before, after and follow up assessments of both groups, besides collecting socio demographic variables. The intervention focused on enhancing their person ality traits such as extraversion, attitude towards school work, agreeableness, emotional stability and openness of the students. The yoga intervention was conducted for a period of six months covering a total of 40 sessions. The psychological approach inc luded counseling sessions which were conducted one to one and one to group for taking right decisions. The results have shown that the experimental group had significantly high scores on personality such as extraversion, attitude towards school work, agree ableness, and emotional stability when compared to the control group. The experimental group maintained the effectiveness and had significant changes in overall score of the scale at follow - up assessment. The yoga combined with psychological intervention i s effective in increasing the personality of school going students.

21 THE ETHICAL VALUE JUDGEMENTS ARE NONSENSE: WITTGENSTEIN’S APPROACH, Poulami chakraborty The purpose of this paper is to maintain the vie w through analysis that the ethical value judgments are nonsense. The paper is about what might be called the Philosophical tradition of ethics and Wittgenstein opposition to that tradition. My purpose is to elucidate how this conception of ethical judgmen ts is in itself a sufficient reason for regarding them as nonsense. Wittgenstein claim in the ‘Tractatus Logico - Philosophicus’ that there can be no ethical propositions. Wittgenstein thought that ethical value judgments are absolute in the sense that their correctness. They does not depend at all on how things are in the world. Absolute judgment of value cannot be rational or irrational, reasonable or unreasonable. The argument behind this concept is that the value is not arbitrary or accidental. In order t o support that interpretation, I consider passages from the 1929 lecture on ethics. This read us to a reappraisal of the relevance of the Tractarian project of showing that ethical sentences cannot make sense.
22 TRUANCY IN RELATION TO NON - VERBAL INTELLIGENCE AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, Satish Chand Bhadwal and Naveen Kumar Mokta The present study focussed on studying the variable of truancy in relation to non - verbal intelligence among different group s of high school students. The groups were formed on the basis of gender and place of habitat (urban or rural) of the students. The sample included 640 students taken from twenty schools situated in four districts of Himachal Pradesh. For measuring Non - Verbal Intelligence of the students included in the sample, Standard Progressive Matrices developed by Raven, Court, and Raven (1977) was used in the present study. The results of the study were not uniform in favour of truant or non - truant groups of stud ents and necessitate the replication of the study on a larger sample.
23 TEACHING AND LEARNING IN SCHOOLS: THE DIMENSIONS THAT AFFECT MOTIVATION AND PUPIL LEARNING., Tonia Grace Ganta Motivation of pupils in the classroom is considered a chal lenge as it has become quite difficult to compete with the stimulus in the world outside the classroom. Media, computer games etc. involve the child in being passively entertained rather than being actively engaged. In spite of these varied factors that af fect motivation, the different motivational patterns of students can be studied and catered to. This review attempts to focus on the reasons for lack of motivation, the different factors that motivate pupils to learn, the role of teachers and the technique s used to enhance motivation to learn, and finally the various aspects that enhance pupils’ motivation to learn apart from the teacher.

30 MENTAL HEALTH OF SCHOOL GOING ADOLESCENTS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY, Namesh Kumar and Kuldip Kaur Grewal Mental health an d physical health are correlated with each other. First of all parents should give due attention towards the adolescents. Teacher should also pay healthy role to provide moral values among adolescents. Besides family factor socio - cultural factors also effe ct mental health. The negative impact of mass media and wrong cultural values affect mental health especially of the adolescent. It needs serious intervention on the part of government and responsible people of the society also. As healthy mind resides in healthy body so emphasis should be laid on to intricate values healthy activities in such school so that the adolescents can never delineate or alienate towards wrong side.

33 THE UNFINISHED AGENDA OF RE - INVENT ING SCIENCE EDUCATION IN NIGERIA : MYTH S AND POLICY OPTIONS, Jacinta A. Opara Throughout history , science ha s been an important instrument per excellence for development. As a tool in technological advancement and contributing to social an d economic growth , science teaching - learning has become an accepted and indispensable aspect of the mainstream of educational systems in developed and developing countries. Globalization has its challenges amongst which conversation of the environment, population explosion, desertification, soil eros ion, pollution, HIV/AIDS and increased use of science and technology. It is imperative to strengthen all the instruments of Science, Technology and Mathematics ( STM ) education especially the curriculum so that may equip learners adequately for survival in age that will be dominated by science and high technology. The close and mutual beneficial trilateral relationship among STM education will equip the learner with functional scientific knowledge for technological develo pment. This issue becomes important once again in resonating with research on STM education as a w ay forward in the context of globalization .
34 ICT IN EDUCATION FOR E – LEARNING APPROACH, Mr. Pardeep Thakral Communication and information are at the heart of educational process. Information and communication technology has plays very important role in education i.e. informal and formal education. Information and communication Technologies (ICTs) have been utilized by education since their inception, but they have been massively present in schools only since the early 1980s. Dev eloped countries have applied them to K - 12 education for variety of reasons, most of which are still valued today, although in many cases they have remained unfulfilled exceptions. In education ICT is used as a combination of various technologies ranging from simple technology like print based communication to online communication. Its use encompasses most aspects of educational operations though the major emphasis has been put forth to initiate the use of computers based technologies into the existing te chnique learning processes not many efforts have been made for providing computer literacy / skills and training teachers. Unless it is ascertained that the teachers and learners have the right attitude and aptitude to use the new technologies, situations are not going to change. At present, though there has been a significant expansion of use of computers and related technologies much is yet to be achieved
35 THE VALUE BASED EDUCATION SYSTEM, Ved Prakash Education is that process of development which consist the passage of human being from infancy to maturity, the process whereby he adapts himself gradually in various way to his physical & spiritual environment. A value is a belief that something is good and worthwhile. It defines what is worth having and worth striving for. The students of value orientated constitution aim at comple te development of human personality. Its purpose is to increase efficiency and happiness of human being. Unfortunately we see non value based education is directed to get a job or service only. That is what most people believe to be the purpose of educatio n. Parents too look to education as the means for enabling their wards to get fined into some career. So, to eradicate this problem and to establish human values, the Stance Rules, the Art of Living, Meditation, Geeta classes, Yagna and Yoga classes helps a great deal in reducing Machiavellianism i.e. a tendency of manipulating others for his own purpose & in increasing selfless idea. Hence Education is extremely necessary for man. It makes him a true harmonious and live life orderly. It leads to self - Enli ghten and self realization. No good life is conceivable without value - oriented education. This leads to fulfillment of Evolutionary role in man & in life
36 ARE THE PRINCIPALS OF HIGHER SECONDARY EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERS?, Vasundhara Padmanabhan Teaching and learning are what everyone should focus on in any institution. This should not only be with teachers, academic coordinators, heads of the departments, and members of internal quality assurance cell but also of Principals and Vice Principals, and they should exhibit an exceptionally high level of detailed knowledge about the craft of teaching. Principals as instructional leaders should be aware of the latest pedagogical practices, their effectiveness and should encourage and facilitate the implementation of such practice s in the institutions. People should get expected support in solving problems of instructional practice from their peers and supervisors, and problems in design or implementation of instruction should be shared and discussed (even with supervisors) rather than hidden from view. The Principals are no more mere administrators; they should be taking crucial decisions about the instructional process and are accountable for the quality of instruction. Here arises the need of grooming the Principals of higher sec ondary educational institutions differently and Instructional Leadership Program is the answer to this.
37 Research and Development Models in Agricultural Extension, Nikhila Bhagwat Extension, broadly, is a function that can be applied to various areas of society, such as Agriculture Extension, Un iversity Extension, Rural Development Extension, Health Services Extension, Industrial Extension, etc. All of which thrive on non formal ways and participatory management principles. The Agricultural Extension is a general term meaning the application of s cientific research and new knowledge to agricultural practices through farmer education. (Wikipedia) The ‘Food & Agriculture organisation of the United Nations’ states that agricultural extension operates within a broader knowledge system that comprises of research and agricultural education. The R and D (Research and Development) is an inseparable wing of Extension activity. In many parts of the world it is also called RTD, which means ‘Research and Technological Development’. It refers to a specific group of activities within an industry. Since ‘Extension’ is concerned with expansion as well as enhancement of agricultural industry it automatically connects with RTD. The primary function of R and D is to develop new products and services or to generate new knowledge to improve existing products, processes and services. There are three primary models of Research and Technological Development - the Exploration Model, the Improvement Model and the Testing Model. The Exploratory Model is used when there is no ea rlier theory to support and guide the investigation or when the field of enquiry is absolutely new. It is a gradual process of accumulating understanding about the object under study. During the exploratory research project, the provisional concepts slowly gain precision. In the Improvement Model the work starts from what is known and simply proceeds by enlarging an earlier theory. The existence of a tentative model helps in selecting the logical structure of the entire research project and planning it. Many of the problems of exploratory research can be avoided if the researcher can start with a model, developed in earlier studies, which he us es as a ‘working premise’.

61 Continuous Comprehensive Evalua tion: Emerging Concerns in Assessment, JITENDER KUMAR and ARTI PASRICHA It is utmost important to mak e 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 e ssential 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. c hild, teacher, parent and institutions of higher education about what is being evaluated

92 Body Image in Today’s Scenario, EKTA BHUSHAN SATSANGI ,SHIVANI RAWAT A person's body image is thought to be, in part, a product of their personal experiences, personality, and various social and cultural forces. A person's sense of their own physical appearance , usually in relation to others or in relation to som e cultural "ideal," can shape their body image. A person's perception of their appearance can be different from how others actually perceive them. Advances in technology and in particular the rise of the mass media have caused normal concerns about how we look to become obsessions. These images certainly contribute to the body - hatred and to some of the resulting eating problems, which range from bulimia to compulsive overeating, to simply being obsessed with controlling one’s appetite. But body image can be regain and boost by some means which are mention the main body.

94 ROLE OF PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS IN SPORTS, Dr.K.Srikanth Anti doping laws generally exist in order to provide a safe and fair environment for participation in sport. These laws should prevent and protect athletes from subjecting themselves to health risks through the use of unsafe, but performance - enhancing drugs. Because of difficulties in proving intent to cheat, the World Anti - Doping Agency enforces a principle of strict liability for positive test results for banned substances. An area of major controversy with respect to liability is the “sports supplement” industry, which is poorly regulated when compared with prescription drugs yet is a potential source of doping violations. Medical practitioners can be found guilty of anti - doping violations if they traffic banned drugs , prescribe these to athletes or otherwise assist athletes in taking banned substances. Medical practitioners are also now required to complete paperwork (therapeutic use exemption forms) to enable athletes to take banned substances which are required on m edical grounds for specific illnesses.

97 Occupational Stress Amongst Teachers: A Study Of The Professional Colleges Of Education In Jammu, Pr ovince Of J&K State, Mohd Zubair Kales Occupational stress can be inadvertently linked to success or failure at one’s job. The general impression about occupational stress is the feeling of failure due to work overload. But if this is the case and so simple a problem than merely by reducing the amount of work, occupational stress could have been done away with. However the problem is not that easy to pinpoint. It is here that a comparative investigation of the reasons of stress in different occupations becomes important. Herein lays the most cru cial significance of the study. To combat a problem the awareness of the conditions, which lead to it, are very important. Stress is a part of everyone’s daily life. It means that the person cannot cope with the demands put forward by his or her work, whic h is opposite to their expectations of rewards and success. It affects both the person concerned and the relationships he or she forms in the society be it with family or friends. Although the importance of individual differences cannot be ignored, scienti fic evidence suggests that certain working conditions are stressful to most people. The excessive workload demands and conflicting expectations and puts a greater emphasis on working conditions as the key source of job stress, and for job redesign as a pri mary prevention strategy.

103 ECHOES OF FEMINISM IN MAHESH DATTANI’S TARA, Divya Walia Over the last three or four decades, the terms, ‘literary theory’ and ‘criticism’ have acquired considerable significance for the study of literature and social sciences. Literary theories can be understood as the principles or tools that can be applied for interpreting a wok of literature. They attempt to trace history and culture in the texts and also their linguistic structure.The feminist theory came to the forefront in its theoretical sense in the U.S. and Western Europe in the 1960s. Thi s theory views distinction between man and woman as the product of culture and thus brings socio cultural set up of the society under the scrutiny of the theorists who question it rather than simply reflect it as a social reality. The play Tara by Mahesh Dattani too offers multiple reading levels when read in the light of feminism. The paper is an attempt to look at this play in the light of feminism for the better understanding of the play and to explore the dormant feminist voices getting subtly reflected thought the plot and the characters of the play.

107 The Impact of Philosophy of Jainism on Various Aspects of Education, Purshotam Jainism is a very old philosophy. It has exercised a great influence on the mind of man. Even Under the present - day educational system, boys and girls go to schools and colleges to follow a syllabus which has been set for them. The aim of education can be both social as well as individual. From the view - point of education for an individual, it should be su ch as to help develop the physical, mental and moral aspects of an individual’s personality. The aim of education is thus not restricted to t he one sided development of an individual’s personality; it seeks on the contrary, to develop the “perfect Man.” Jainism presents equal background to the aim of education and life. The aims of education would be influenced by the aims of life. Education is the important means of fulfilling the aims of life.

115 Diversification: the Key to Better Livelihood Opportunities, Rajalakshmy Nandagopal , The agricultural sector in India is facing deceleration in growth and is posing a major challenge which is manifested through food inflation and lack of proper planning of crop management. The two major sources of growth in agriculture are area expansion and increase in productivity. These sources of growth have serious limitations. The scope of area expansion is limited due to the inelastic supply of land. Hence it is necessary to chalk out a strategy to improve production with the available technology and arable land .The traditional wheat paddy system which flourished and thrived during the Green Revolution i s facing major roadblocks. Most of the states which adopted the traditional rice or wheat cropping systems are at present facing serious economic, social and ecological problems such as deceleration in productivity growth, fall in agricultural employment, over exploited ground water resources and decline in soil fertility. Intensive cultivation with chemical fertilizers has precipitated the problem of increased costs of cultivation and environmental pollution, and ground water depletion which have undermine d the efforts to increase production. A study of the cropping patterns in India clearly brings out the diversification which is taking place in India from food crops to non food crops in certain regions especially in the southern and western states.
116 TEACHERS PARTICIPATION IN SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION: A STUDY ON GENDER DIFFERENCE , Ajay Kumar Attri , Teachers' participation in school administration is ad vantageous to the provision of good education. It is justified not only because of what it does for the staff but also because experience and research justify it to be the most effective means available to accomplish the purposes to which the schools are o rganized. The successful working of school depends upon the administration for which there should be suitable environment for teachers’ participation in it. This paper explores the gender difference in five possible school administrative areas for teachers ' participation. The study was designed on descriptive survey research, targeting the population of all trained graduate teachers in govt. and private secondary schools of Himachal. The stratified random sampling technique was used to select a sample of 20 0 (100 male and 100 female) secondary school trained graduate teachers from Kullu district of the H.P. state. Teacher’s Participation in School Administration Scale developed by Taj, Haseen (2000) was used in this study. The study revealed that participati on of male trained graduate teachers in communicating and controlling areas of school administration is higher as compare to female trained graduate teachers. Further, male and female trained graduate teachers are almost similar on their participation in p lanning, organizing and evaluation areas of school administration. It was recommended that policy makers and school administrators should increase the extent to which they involve teachers in school administration to improve the quality of their participat ion and boost their morale in their performance of duty

122 Capital Mobility and Feldstein Horioka Puzzle in India, Masroor A hmad This Study attempts to investi gate the degree of capital mobility for Indian economy using the Investment – saving Quantitative approach proposed by Feldstein and Horioka in 1980. They hypothesized that low degree of correlation between domestic savings and investment is a measure of h igher capital mobility as latter makes international capital pool available for domestic investment. However, the empirical results of their study produced results contrary to their own hypothesis and came to be known as Feldstein - Horioka puzzle. This wa s followed by number of studies some of which tried to explain the puzzle where others doubted the saving investment criteria as a measure of capital mobility. This study, using data of Indian economy tries to investigate whether Feldstein - Horioka Puzzl e is supported by saving investment behaviour in India or their proposed criteria for capital mobility suits well to the Indian economy , as far as measurement of capital mobility is considered. Using Engel - Granger Cointegration analysis long term equilibri um relationship was found and validity of saving investment criterion was established .
123 A STUDY OF SELECTED HYMNS OF SAINT TUKARAM, Nivedita Deshmukh In total, an advice was given in all the compositions of all saints to adopt the path of devotion like importance of remembrance of God, devotion without expectation of any fruit, submission to h im who is sans discrimination. The entire saints have simplified the path to devotion of God, mancipation of life and attaining the highest place of freedom from life i.e. moksh ya , with their self experience only by pronouncing h is name. The fulfillment, happiness and freedom from cycle of life and death of the entire human beings is not possible without chanting of Harinama . Dnyandev demanded blessings from his Mentor of peacefu l universe by making a pledge of motto ‘I will make the entire universe happy’ and gave upmost place to devotion of Guru. All saints renounced everything and guided the true path of devotion by keeping superstition at bay and not following the path of p ilgrimage, giving up the conjugal life and through fasts but by taking refuge to counting His name, reciting Him with true heart. Everyone has to has adopt any profession to meet both hands meet. It might be any profession. But He is omnipresent. Every s aint has made his profession great through his devotion. For eg. Savata Mali, Gora Kumbhar, Narhari Sonar, Nama Shimpi , Tukarametc. The truth of presence of God in every living and dead, place should be accepted is the insistence of the saint.

126 PERFORMANCE COMPARISON BETWEEN PATTERN GROWTH ALGORITHMS FOR MINING SEQUENTIAL PATTERN, PRACHI BATWARA and BASANT VERMA Sequential Pattern Mining is ver y important concept in Data Mining, finds frequent patterns from given sequence. It is used in various domains such as medical treatments, customer shopping sequence, DNA sequence and gene structures. Sequential Pattern Mining Approaches are classified int o two categories: Apriori or generate and test approach, pattern growth or divide and conquer approach. In this paper, we are introducing a more efficient algorithm for sequential pattern mining. The time & space consumption of proposed algorithm will be lesser in comparison to previous algorithms & we compare two algorithms of pattern growth algorithms of Sequential Pattern Mining, one is P - prefix span which discovers frequent sequential pattern with probability of inter arrival time and other one is new proposed algorithm named as Percussive algorithm. Our experiment shows that new proposed algorithm is more efficient and scalable then the P - prefix span algorithm.

129 DISPARITIES IN LITERACY RATE OF DALITS IN KARNATAKA – AN INTER - DISTRICT LEVEL ANALYSIS, Mohammed Ashfaq Ahamed Though the Karnataka state is striving towards achieving universal literacy at a faster pace, but still 35% of the Sched uled Castes population and 38% of the Scheduled Tribes population is still illiterate. The following article has analysed the trends and pattern of literacy rates of Dalits with regard to regions and gender in Karnataka. S tatistical and analytical methods such as Averages, Percentages, Range, Disparity Indices and Co - efficient of Variation are employed in the study . It is found that the literacy rate of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe in the state is far behind the benchmark goal of 85% by the Planning Commission. This is a cause of concern. The female SCs and STs are quite worse off when compared to male SCs and STs. The inter - district variations are also quite wider in their case. Further the literacy rate of female SCs and STs across northern backward districts have not crossed 50 per cent. This is one of major challenge that the State should address on a priority concern. Twelfth Plan proposes that efforts will be made for providing functional literacy with special focus to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and other disadvantageous groups for keeping track with the objective of Inclusive Growth. It will go long way in sustaining the Dalits improvement in the growth process. Once the literacy rate of female Dalits is improved, it will help them to uti lize better economic opportunities and enhance their capabilities, there - by leading to socio - economic empowerment.
130 MANAGEMENT OF BETEL VINE’S COST OF CULTIVATION, Bharat Vitthal Patil, Cost of betel vine cultivation and returns collected on the sale of betel vine leaves were known as most important factor in betel vine cultivation .

133 A STUDY TO EXTRACT COMMON FACTORS FOUND IN LEARNING CHEMISTRY AT SENIOR SECONDARY LEVEL., B.P. Singh , The present study was concerned with the extraction of comm on factors found in learning Chemistry at Senior Secondary level. A co - relation matrix was obtained from eighteen reliable and valid objective type tests taken into items and were distributed over the whole course. Investigator decided to use centric metho d for Factor Analysis of the correlation matrix because it involves less rigorous mathematical calculation and it was easy to interpret psychologically. Guilford and Lacey’s criterion was applied to test the validity of Factor VI. The product of two highes t factor loadings fell short of 1/?N. Hence the factor stood rejected. After factorization, it was observed that difference between the obtained and guessed communalities is more than 0.10, and then factor analysis was done afresh, starting with obtained c ommunalities without doing any adjustment in the diagonal cell. After first reiteration it was found that difference between the obtained and guessed communalities is less than 0.10. It was concluded that factor 1 constitutes 60% of the cognitive abilities in Chemistry while the other four factors contribute 40% of the total cognitive abilities in Chemistry.
134 A STUDY TO INTERPRET COMMON FACTORS FOUND IN LEARNING CHEMISTRY AT SENIOR SECONDARY LEVEL., B.P.

155 A BLEND OF FEMINISM AND POST - MODERNISM: KAMLA DAS’S POETIC WORLD, Atul Parmar According to Toril Moi, “In a general way, I see ‘feminism’ as a political position, ‘femaleness’ as a matter of biology, and ‘femininity’ as a set of culturally defined characteristic.” Many historians have categorized women wr iters in three categories. The first category consists of writers like Jane Austen, Bronte Sisters and others. The second category includes writers like Emily Dickinson, Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath and many others. The first category of writers have strug gled to be simply acknowledged in the intelligentsia while the second group has revolted against the male oriented society and sought to establish an isolated world away from the males. The third group has maintained a balance between the above two extreme s by being both feminine and feminist at the same time. This group of writers have also less talked about the social or political freedom and never visualized a world existing without men. Kamla Das is a part of this third category. In her poetic world thr oughout one could easily find a plea for understanding and compassion from the male counterpart. This paper attempts to find a blend between feminism and postmodernism in the poetry of Kamla Das.

158 EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING AS A TOOL IN FRENCH PEDAGOGY, Ms. Sumana Mukerjee SRJIS/BIMONTHLY/DR. MAYA UNDE (2047 - 2057) SEPT - OCTOBER, 2014. VOL - II/XIV www.srjis.com Page 2047 EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING AS A TOOL IN FRENCH PEDAGOGY Ms. Sumana Mukerjee , Doctoral Research Scholar, School of Foreign Languages , IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University New Delhi, India ) Tradit ional teaching and training is mainly transfer of knowledge, but this does not include individual student's progress and explore their potential real ly well. This is because traditional method of teaching a foreign language usually looks at what the studen t needs to learn, and the best way in which they can learn it. Experiential learning is a powerful way to address individual growth and potential, for people of all ages. It is more suited to individual style s , preferences, strengths, direction s , etc. This paper highlights the historical background of experiential learning, it's effectiveness in teaching foreign languages , how it emerged, and how well it has blended with French language Pedagogy . This paper on Experiential learning is aimed at identifying the concept s of experiential learning, the models of experiential learning , the experiential learning cycle, its principles and benefi ts for French language students particularly from the middle school . Since we are moving from traditional teaching toward s Student centered learning , can reflection be a n important aspect of teaching - learning process for both students and teachers? Also, in the Indian context, Experiential Education flip s the role of a teacher and a student! A teacher becomes a learner too a nd the student will 'lead' the process of learning. Are our Indian schools ready for this? How do we decide which method of experiential learning will work best?

160 APPLICATION OF SPATIAL VARIATION URBAN DENSITY MODEL: A STUDY OF AHMEDNAGAR CITY, MAHARASHTRA, INDIA, S.A. Borude and S. W. Gaikwad The term density of population refers to a ratio between population and land area. There are several means of describing the spatial distribution of population . Geographers, demographers, sociologist, and statisticians have made their contribution in developing the means to describe population distribution and concentration (RC Chandana, 2003). It is truism to sta te that population is not evenly distributed within the city. Since, however, the urban population is also not evenly distributed, (R. M Northam, 1975). Geographers have studied urban population densities and found that there are similarities and regulariti es in urban densities. The urban density models are developed by C Clark (1951), J. Tanner and G. Sherratt (1961), and B. Newling (1969) to express the statistical relationships between population densities and urban distance.In this research paper attempt is made to analyze spatial variation in urban density of Ahmednagar district and compare it with Ahmednagar city. The study of urban density of Ahmednagar city is the expression of general relationships, between distance and urban density . Th is associatio n is a formalized for explaining the general situation of density and distances. B. Newling model of spatial variation in urban population densities is applied for stud y.

183 POLYPLOIDY IN FLOWER CROPS, N.A.KAZI 1 , J.P. YADAV and U.H.PATIL Polyploidy breeding is an effective method for doubling the chromosome number of a species. Genetic variations created can be further used in breeding programme. Polyploidy breeding holds immense prospects in developing desirable varieties in flower crops. With the help of polyploidy , changes in morphology and cytology of plant are observed. Tetraploids are more vigorous and larger in size. Tetraploids produce thick and dark green leaves . Mostly seen consequences of induced polyploidy are increase in size and shape of plants; leaves, branches, flower parts, fruit s and seeds. Intensification of flower colour and fragrance is observed in Marigold plants following chromosome number doublin g. Chemicals like colchicine, oryzalin, triXuralin and amiprophosmethyl (APM) etc. are used in induct ion of polyploids. Although colchicine remained the most used for induction of polyploidy. Chromosome doubling using various chemicals was observed in flower crops viz., Marigold, Aster, Orchid, Jasmine, Lillium, Chrysanthemum, Alstromeria, Anthurium, Rose and Gerbera .

189 TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT, Tanuja Waghmare Management is the process of planning, organizing, actuating and controlling an organizations operation in order to achieve a coordination of the human and material resources essential in the effective and efficient attainment of objectives. Although the concept of quality is very old, today it is perhaps the major preoccupation of organizations world - wide. However, in the recent years, TQM has captured the world - wide attention and is being adopted in many organizations, both profit and non - profit. Step through TQM's door and the first person you'll want to meet will be W. Edwards Deming, credited as the founding father of Total Quality Management. Deming grew up in the twenties and thirties, a time when all you needed to succeed as a factory worker was the ability to work long hours at extremely boring jobs. Most industrial tasks required little or no formal schooling a nd illiteracy rates were high.
190 GENDER DISCRIMINATION AND WAY OF EXPRESSION: A STUDY OF EUNICE DE SOUZA’S POEMS , Goutam karmakar A close look at the grow th of Indian English poetry shows that most serious, profound and revolutionary poems are seen after a long way, in this decade as I am talking about poems written by woman. In this postmodern period, we have come across so many Indian woman poets and thei r poetry shows so many aspects as they find being a woman. Their poetry shows their perception regarding the realities of commonplace and also the problems they have to face in the society they live in. Their poetry sometimes is considered as poetry of sel f - revelation and confession. They want to create their own space and identity in the family and also in the society. They have broken their long state of silence and celebrate womanhood by breaking the bondage of subjugation to create woman’s existence in the society. So many women poets came out to show these like Kamala Das, Meera Alexander, Imtiaz Dharkar, Gauri Despande, Eunice de Souza and so on. In this paper I want to show how Eunice de Souza shows the gender blindness and discrimination that she has experiences in the male dominated society and how she expresses those with the help of irony and images in her poetry.

192 USING OF MOBILE PHONES AMONG THE RURAL PEOPLE IN SALEM DISTRICT OF TAMIL NADU, C. Gobalakrishnan, B.K.Mohamed Ameerudeen Mobile phone is widely used by all the sections of people irrespective of gender, caste, religion, race and nation. In India, this mobile telecommunication was introduced in the year 1994 through establishment of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) by enactment of National Telecom Policy. Before the establishment of TRAI, the central government provided the service to the general public through landline mode and that too owned by government. But after the establishment of TRAI, the central government opened the door to the private network services to provide best services to the general public. It means that due to the competition, the private companies come forward to provide best services at a cheap rate. This enables the general public to purchase mobile phone on their own and communicate easily as well as quickly with others as they wish. Therefore mobile phone is the part and parcel of everyone’s life and it became an unavoidable instrument for everybod y. The present paper is an attempt to study the using of mobile phone among the rural people in Salem District of Tamil Nadu.

195 VIOLATION OF WOMEN HUMAN RIGHTS IN TRIPURA AND ROLE OF EDUCATION, Miss. Baishakhi Bhattacharyya Women constitute almost half of the world population. However, their enjo yment of rights equally with that of men is far satisfactory. Gender differences, customs, traditions, social attitudes etc. are mainly responsible for inequality between men and women. Every individuals of the society have equal rights to live, enjoy to e quality and to live peacefully in the society .General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10 th December 1948. This declaration provides that all men and women are entitled to civil, political, social, and cultural rights without any discrimination. The constitution of India also guarantees the equality of rights of men and women. However, in the sphere of women’s human rights in India, there exists a wide gulf between theory and practice. The women in India in general and Tripura in particular very often have to face discrimination, injustice and dishonor. Though women in India have been given more rights as compared to men, even then the condition of women in India is miserable. The paper will focus on the human rights of women in Tripura and that how all the fundamental rights given to the women are being violated in Tripura, by focusing on the various crimes done against them. This paper also makes an attempt to find out the role of education in promotion and protection of Women Human Rights.
196 Patriarchy, Feudalism and Colonialism in Sunlight on a Broken Column, Atul kumar M. Parmar According to Simon de Beauvoir: “The curse that is upon woma n as vassal consists...in the fact that she is not permitted to do anything; so she persists in the vain pursuit of her true being through narcissism, love or religion.” 1 But Attia Hosain’s respects her religion and thus she is not as radical as de Beauvoi r. She mentions her views on religion thus : “To me religion was that... well drawing everybody together. It was never out of my mind that I was a Muslim.” 2 So in Attia Hosain’ s critique of the patriarchal construction of Muslim society is not directed to Isl am, rather she opposes the patriarchy for its interpretation of religion as a tool to perpetuate its domination over women. She firmly believes that by just pushing women out of domestic boundaries doe s not provide freedom for women but their cerebral impr isonment should be wiped out to enhance them. Though she stays in England, Attia’s roots are indigenous. In order to emancipate women she prefers not to imitate the west blindly but she prefers to expose an association of colonialism, feudalism and patriar chy that suppress women as depicted in Sunlight on a Broken Column .
