The present study is confined to manufacture of transport equipments and parts industry of organised manufacturing sectors of Punjab for the period of 1980-81 to 2002-03, at three digit level. Major source of data for the study is Annual Survey of Industries (ASI). Employment elasticity with respect to output in transport equipment and parts industry turned to be low and positive in pre-reform as well as post-reform period. Marginal productivity of capital is positive but marginal productivity of labour is negative for transport equipment and parts industry. In transport equipment and parts industry the negative and significant value (in pre-reform period) of employment elasticity with respect to capital puts a question mark on the absorption of labour with increase in capital. Output elasticity with respect to capital is negative for manufacture of railway, tramway locomotive and rolling stock industry (NIC-352) in pre-reform period, and negative significant for manufacture of transport n.e.c. industry (NIC-359) in post-reform period, puts a question mark on the extension of production capacity.

Training and development of the employees improves productivity and organizational effectiveness. Training is an activity designed to equip personnel with needed knowledge, skill and attitude for the jobs, for which they are first recruited. This paper examine the usefulness of training for the workers as well as for the corporations, determines the major types of training and development programs, discusses the relationship between training and the overall organizational performance, and present guidelines for HR managers to design effective training and development programs.

After reading British, Indian, American & some Commonwealth literature, I found huge works scattered here and there in various books which sometimes confuses the readers/ competitors in the examination hall due to the inherent similarities in these entitled works. To avoid this type of common confusion, I planned to search and arrange the important works first , their similarity wise and their frequency wise and then I compiled an exhaustive list of these selected works to facilitate the learners to make clear cut distinction among the various titles of the literary works. My research paper is based on the principles of effective teaching- learning and effective memorization. My research paper is also entertaining since it enhances the concept of -Learning is Fun. This is my attempt in the pedagogy of teaching-learning of English Literature. I hope my collection will help the students as well as teachers who can frame confusing Multiple Choice Questions (M.C.Q) to refine their learning and also to check the depth of students’ learning. This research paper will be more useful to those who have read at least once The History of English Literature. It will make the readers to realize similar titles of the different literary works as dissimilar and vice-versa. I have divided my research paper in two parts, as Part-I & Part-II. This paper is the continuance of my previous research paper & there are around 850 literary works included in it which readers often confused and these works are not the last but the least.

In the information era, creation and management of resources which ignites knowledge domain in the process of education and research at higher level gains prominence. Higher education today is changing from a conventional way of campus based university into an internet based virtual university (Walmiki and Ramakrishnegowda, 2009). Internet has altered the ways in which the higher education and research activities are carried out. Today, e-resources development is an area required to be explored through intensive research. The process of building strategies to create e-resources requires collaborative efforts from beneficiaries for knowledge creation. Universities and research institutes are highly involved in partnering to develop e-resources through collaborative online libraries. In India, Association of Indian Universities created INFLIBNET to cater the needs of the users through e-resources to promote academic research which facilitates the industries in particular and society in general. Universities are facilitating industries by providing efficient human resources to achieve their goals with available resources. It is also the responsibility of the industries in turn to facilitate the Universities by creating adequate and contemporary resources which may be in the form of e-resources to reach the users at macro level. This paper is administered to study the present status of e-resources to promote higher education and to study the collaborative initiatives of industries with universities to create e-resources for enhanced knowledge dissemination in higher education.

Corruption is operationally defined as the misuse of entrusted power for private gain. Transparency International further differentiates between “according to rule” corruption & “against the rule” corruption. Facilitation payments, where a bribe is paid to receive preferential treatment. What is corruption for something that the bribe receiver is required to do by law, constitute the former. The latter, on the other hand is a bribe paid to obtain services the bribe receiver is prohibited from providing.

Advances in computing and communication technologies and software tools have resulted in an explosive growth in networked-applications and information services that cover all aspects of our life. These services and applications are inherently complex, dynamic and heterogeneous. Similarly, the underlying information infrastructures such as the Internet are complex, heterogeneous and dynamic. This combination exacerbates complexities related to application development, configuration and management, and makes current computing paradigms brittle and inefficient. As a result, applications, programming environments and information infrastructures are rapidly becoming unmanageable, insecure and inefficient when handling runtime changes. This has led researchers to consider alternative programming paradigms and management techniques that are based on strategies used by biological systems to deal with complexity, dynamism, heterogeneity and uncertainty. Autonomic computing is inspired by the human autonomic nervous system that handles complexity and uncertainties, and aims at realizing computing systems and applications capable of managing themselves with minimum human intervention.

The main aim of this study is to construct and standardize a tool for measuring the Chemistry Learning Environment. For the purpose of this study, Simple random sampling technique has been used to select the sample of this study. Among the schools as many as 200 first year higher secondary students have been randomly selected and used as subjects of this study. For this purpose the researcher referred journals and related literature and prepared as many as 65 statements pertaining to the Chemistry Learning Environment. These items have been classified under the following five dimensions: Student Cohesiveness, Class room Environment, Teacher Support, Personnel Participation, Student Centeredness, Laboratory Environment, Enjoyment of Chemistry Lessons and Home Environment. On the basis of the calculated‘t’ test value, the items which are above 1.75 have been selected and these formed final study. Totally 48 items were included in the final study.
