The hymns of the Rig Veda afford an interesting glimpse of the Aryan settlements in India. The Indo-Aryans were not originally agriculturalists. They were pastoral nomads, involved in cattle-rearing, cattle herding, breeding and capturing. The Indo-Aryans were skilled in bronze metallurgy and weaponry and went to battle in highly effective two-wheeled chariots. Their clan structure-a patriarchal tribal structure-was an effective form for mobilization for combat. The dominant occupational activity of the people was cattle rearing. Pastoral society relies more upon its animal wealth than on agricultural product. When we have numerous linguistic evidences for cattle rearing in the Rig Veda, we have very few references about agricultural activities. Most of the references to agriculture are of a later date. Barley is the only one grain indicated in the Rig Veda. They were familiar with the different stages of agricultural activities like sowing, harvesting and threshing. They might have used wooden plough and practices shifting cultivation. The main discourse of this paper is the economic developments and early social formation which took place in the north western part of India between 1500 B. C. to 1000 B.C. These centuries correspond to the early Vedic Age.

There is no doubt that Education is considered as a prime tool for social development and the role of teachers is very important for this purpose. At present, sustainable development is an inseparable part of social development and onus of its implementation lies on our teachers. It is obvious that the teachers would only be able to effectively educate their learners if they have been informed well about the idea of sustainable development. So, there is a need to focus on the concept of Sustainable development in the light of Teacher Education. This paper will try to examine the status and role of Teacher Education in India with historical and contemporary perspectives, both in the context of sustainable development. The paper will also try to present the major challenges and the basic impediments before the Teacher Education for promoting sustainable development. The paper will also look in to the meaning and contexts of sustainable development, and how to reorient Teacher Education to promote the idea of social sustainability. The paper concludes with some observations, suggestions and solutions to reorient Teacher Education in our country for inculcating the value of sustainable development.

The present papers aim at studding the Satyagrah Movements of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. At the outset I would like to point out he not only faught against the upper caste society but also struggle with the person of his own caste. His conflict could find a positive outcome of his complete faith in humanity and his love for the nation .1 the non-brahmins movement had gain pace in the South India in the 19th century itself. In 1924 the Congress followers had started the ‘Mandir Pravesh’ (that is enter the temple) Movement. Madhavan Nayar, Kelappan Nayar, E.M. Ramaswami, Wayakar were the leaders of this movement. T.K. Madhavan and Keshav Menon were the untouchable youngsters who were at the front .2

The distribution of savings and investments in the economy as between various activities and sectors is relevant to growth process. The role of financial system is thus to promote savings and investment in the economy and to enlarge these resources flowing in to the financial assets, which are more productive than others and a proper financial intermediation and sophistication in financial services would promote large production of goods and services into the economy. Thus the financial system has important role to play in the productive process and in the mobilization of savings and their distribution among the various productive activities. Through this article it is shown that what the behavioral approach of salaried people towards investment is.

In Parbhani district 70 percentage of people’s occupation is farming. In 2001 census 68.17 percentage people were living in villages and they were depended upon the income gained by the farming for their livelihood. But climatically Parbhani district is located in rain shadow area or drought prone area. Soil of the district is comparatively of lesser quality, irrigation facilities are less, short and thorny forest patches etc. due to this reasons in the district less development of agriculture is found. There are three cropping seasons in study region, namely kharif, rabbi and summer. Kharif season begins in June or July and ends in September or October whereas rabbi season starts from March and end in may. Jowar, Bajra, gram, tur, groundnut and oil seeds are the major kharif crops grown in study region while Jowar, gram, and sunflower are rabbi crops. Fruits, Condiment, food grain crop, and vegetables are also produced in study region. Sugarcane are grown in study region in both kharif and rabbi seasons in Parbhani district.

A micro- study, as conducted by me, to understand the processes of the expansion of the Kabirpanth in a village community, does help us to have a clear picture of how this movement had been operational at least until the end of the 20th century. For the purpose I selected a village named Taraiya and its neighbourhood situated in the present Madhubani district of Bihar. Taraiya, is situated in between two rivers-Dhaus and Paini, tributaries of the river Kamala. Culturally, village Taraiya lies in the central part of Mithila,1 a cultural zone which has had attracted scholars of different streams for studies. Passing through several vicissitudes of socio-political changes, people‟s socio-religious attitude and inclination also underwent certain changes, and the expansion of the Kabirpanth in the region, represents one strand among many others. Of course, Kabirpanth has been traced back to the medieval period of Indian history, but its spread in the area of my intensive case study in and around Taraiya cannot be located so far back. At the most, it can be traced back to the mid-19th century according to the current oral traditions prevailing there.

The sex ratio is usually defined as the number of females per thousand males. The sex ratio is a function of three basic factors, i.e. sex ratio at birth, differentials in mortality between sexes at different stages of life and sex selective migration. Sex ratio is an index of the socio-economic conditions prevailing in an area and is a useful tool for regional analysis. The knowledge of sex ratio is essential for understanding the employment and consumption patterns and social needs of a community. The separate data for male and female are important for various types of planning and for the analysis of other demographic characteristics, such as natality, mortality, migration, marital status and economic etc. Therefore an attempt is made here to study spatio-temporal pattern of sex ratio in Kolhapur district. The paper is based on secondary data. To analyze spatial pattern of sex ratio the tahsils of Kolhapur district are grouped into four categories on the basis of mean and standard deviation. The study reveals that the very low rural sex ratio is recorded in Karvir and Panhala tahsils due to urbanization and in migration.

Educating each individual in the classroom through individualized instruction is not a dream nowadays. To meet with the challenges which arise due to the fact that individuals differ very much in all aspects of their personality, various methods and techniques have been developed by researchers, educationists and psychologist. Identifying student's learning style is one of the method which may be used for individualized instruction. Objective of the present research is to study the learning style of students belonging to Govt. and private schools. Sampling of 296 private school students and 291 Govt. school students has been taken for the present study. Learning Style Inventory by Dr. S.C.Agarwal has been used for collection of data. Learning style which are considered in this inventory are- Individualistic vs. non-individualistic,Field independent vs. field dependent,Motivation centered vs. motivation non-centered,Modality preference (Aural vs. visual),Environment oriented vs. environment free,Flexible vs. non-flexible,Short attention span vs. long attention span. The reliability coefficient ranged from 0.841 to 0.912. Chi square has been used to analyse the data and it is found that the students belonging to government schools and private schools do not differ significantly on learning style Individualistic vs. Non-individualistic and Environment oriented vs. Environment free. The students belonging to private schools have shown preference for Flexible learning style,Visual learning style, Field-independent learning style, Short attention span learnin

In the twenty-first century, increasing numbers of girls and women are moving into intellectual and occupational spheres traditionally seen to be masculine (Francis 2000). These changes involve the performance of new forms of femininity, a distancing from variants traditionally perceived as normative and the adoption of qualities previously viewed as masculine. Yet this new reinvented femininity is just as regulated as previous forms of femininity. Girls and women are clearly paying a price for their success, as women develop illnesses of stress previously only seen in men. The downside of female 'success' is apparent in the double and sometimes triple shift of many female academicians juggling work, child care and further study. This paper remains a humble attempt at exploring the myth of higher education being conducive to female professionals and the reason behind a colossal loss of valuable national intellectual resources in the higher education sector and suggest newperspectives with the prevalent social system in mind.

Education is a foundation stone of nation’s intellectual power which shapes the power profile of a nation in the community of world nations, thus, it is rightly said that the progress of a country particularly of a democratic country depends upon the quality of teachers. Teacher education plays an important role not only in development of teaching skills, pedagogical knowledge but also it could play a leading role in the development of professional skills and emotional intelligence among B. Ed students. Co-operative learning is an educational approach that aims to organize classroom activities in to academic and social learning experiences. It is very important for B. Ed students to understand the kind of professional skills they required in this profession and how to develop them by learning co-operatively. It is also important for B. Ed students to understand the concept of emotional intelligence, different factors of emotional intelligence and its importance in their teaching profession Co-operative learning can be one of the options to develop the professional skills and emotional intelligence in secondary teacher trainees

Certainly, sustainable development has to be an essential part of strategy for the future development of the education sector in India. The main objective of this concept is to make the higher education to be recognized as the foremost contributor to society's efforts to achieve sustainability. Acquiring sustainable development needs cooperation among sectors and institutions, and the involvement of all the concerned partners and individuals. Nevertheless, there are a lot of diverse ways people and institutions can work together to share knowledge, to advocate and to take action. These consist of campaigning networks, communities of practice, knowledge networks, public-private partnerships, multi- stakeholder partnerships and strategic alliances. These have all become vital mechanisms for pin pointing priorities, conducting combined research and for appealing other stakeholders in initiating practicable solutions. By means of combining their efforts, members of networks and partnerships are able to have a bigger impact on policy and practice than they would have on their own. An infrastructure building is one of the meager elements of sustainable development and engineering universities play vital role to spread it inconsonance with the social needs. There is great need to establish practical liaison between the engineering sector and the social development sector, it is important for the establishment and maintenance of social cohesion for building the infrastructure for the well being of the masses. This paper highlights the reasons which make the institutions of higher education in India suitable contenders to lead the notion of Education for Sustainable Development. There is no reason that the achievement of this objective cannot be assured exclusively and without proper linkages with government, communities, NGOs and private sector.

At the beginning of the 21st century environmental issues have emerged as a major concern for the welfare of people. In India, the concept of environment protection can be seen starting from the period of Vedas. Today we come across various non-governmental organizations whose concerns are focused on various areas such as social issues, health issues, and environmental issues. There are large number of NGOs in India and other countries that are exclusively working for environmental, protection, conservation, and awareness. The number of these non-governmental organizations which are actively involved in environmental protection in our country is, in fact, more than in any of the developing country. These organizations extend beyond their own community and can reach places where Governmental agencies cannot sometimes reach. Though, recent years have seen a proliferation of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with a mission to help in redressing various social and environmental problems, the effectiveness of these organizations in carrying out their stated goals is rarely assessed or critically examined. NGOs can sensitize policy makers about the local needs and priorities. They can often intimate the policy makers about the interests of both the poor and the ecosystem as a whole. In providing training facilities, both at community and government levels, NGOs can play a significant role. They can also contribute significantly by undertaking research and publication on environment and development related issues. It is necessary to support and encourage genuine, small, local level NGOs in different parts of the country which can provide much needed institutional support specific to the local needs.

It mentions about use and facilities of UGC-Infonet digital library consortium in two universities of Vidarbha region in Maharashtra. Present research paper deals with information of consortia and its usages by faculty members, research scholars and post graduate students. Electronic journals bring new challenges for the library and information professionals to give full text access of scholarly publications in electronic version to its end users. Through UGC-Infonet digital library consortium access has been provided to large number of scholarly journals with assumption that broader, faster, better access makes more use of information.

Distance learning is one of the most rapidly growing fields of education and training. The role of libraries is very crucial in the distance learning process. For gaining the quality education, distance education learners needs adequate library services. This paper examines the possible ways of library services more specifically web based library services that fulfil the information needs of the distance education students. It concludes that the librarians should be expert to hold the hands of the users who are moving towards new communication paradigm a shift from face to face human contact to human machine interaction, from paper to electronic delivery, from text centered mode to multimedia and from physical presence to virtual presence. To meet these challenges the librarians may play a leadership role in providing better Web Based library Services facilities to their current techno savvy users.

Health has become a topic of increasing interest to investigators in the social and behavioral sciences over the past couple of decade. Health may be seen as a summation of functional capabilities (freedom from) unpleasant sensations or symptoms, and available reserves and resources, which can be drawn upon or mobilized to fend off threats to health. Frustration occurs when a person is unable to reach the desired goal on account of some barrier or other, or due to absence of desired and appropriate goals. Economic fluctuations can also thwart the achievement of desired goals and may create frustrations. The source of frustration may be internal also, resulting from his own incapability and inadequacy. Inability to achieve one’s goal may also lead to self-devaluation and inferiority. Frustration may lead to downfall and deviation because it wastes precious thinking ability and attention, which otherwise would have been used elsewhere in constructive and/or creative work. The purpose of this paper is to study the frustration and mental health of adolescents and relationship between frustration tolerance and mental health of adolescents.

A mutual fund is a trust with professionally managed investment support that collects and channelizes the savings of a number of investors who bear a common financial goal and invests in shares, debt securities, money-market securities or a combination of these. And these investors on investments in funds are known as unit holders. These securities are professionally managed on behalf of the unit holders and each investor holds a share/unit of the portfolio in ration of their investment and net fund value, which is, entitled to profits as well as losses.Income earned or loss through these investments and the capital appreciation realized is divided among its unit holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them after deducting applicable expenses, load and taxes. A mutual fund is the most suitable investment in the reach of common people as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost.

Introduction: Raja Ram Mohan Roy has rightly been described as the Father of Indian Renaissance and the Prophet of Indian Nationalism. Behind all his ideas of social and religious reforms, there lay the thought of brining about political regeneration of his countrymen.

Kashmiri Pandits are the original inhabitants of the Kashmir valley. The beginning of the 14th century and the period that followed witnessed so many incidents in the life of the Pandits. Origin of Kashmiri Pandit community covers more than a period of five thousand years. Kashmiri Pandits are Saraswat Brahmins. According to Kalahana, his Rajatarangini explained the origin of the community their beliefs, customs, traditions, Socio-Economic situations along with certain festivals of Pandits. Before Independence, Kashmiri Pandits lived a peaceful life in the valley and enjoyed all rights available to the citizens. They formed an important part of Kashmiriyath. During the communal flare-ups of the partition, their land lordship over agricultural land got eschewed under the tenancy and land reforms initiated by the people’s government in 1952 affected a large number of Pandit families. In course of time Pakistan’s militancy operation destroyed the peace and unity of secular minded Kashmiris and minority Pandit community. After independence; the Pakistanis fought more than four wars with India. These war games between India and Pakistan destroyed the peace and security, not only of the Kashmir Pandit community, but the whole Kashmir valley. Human rights abuses have been a cause as well as a consequence of the insurgency in Kashmir. During the year that followed Pakistan sent guerillas to Kashmir in 1965 under “operation Gibraltar” which lead to a full-scale war. Six years later another war between India and Pakistan resulted in the bifurcation of Pakistan and formation of Bangladesh and subsequent signing of Shimla Agreement under which both countries were to resolve the issue bilaterally. The minority Pandits of the valley became the victims of this operation and they were gunned down indiscriminately, hanged or murdered by other brutal means. Torture, molestation and rape, threatening letters and telephone calls, posters and bit notices pasted on doors and warnings through newspapers for the whole community to leave the valley within short and specified time. Nearly Three thousand members of this community have been done to death, and nearly three hundred thousand forced into exile. Thousands of civilians got killed and many more injured in Kashmir as a result of military operations. Militancy had taken more than 500000 innocent woman, men and children lives. Every year Central & State Governments spending cores for creating everlasting peace and up-liftment of Pandit communities. But still they are living like a scared rabbits in various parts of India like refugees.

“A slum is a heavily populated urban informal settlement characterized by substandard housing and squalor. While slums differ in size and other characteristics from country to country, most lack reliable sanitation services, supply of clean water, reliable electricity, timely law enforcement and other basic services. Slum residences vary from shanty houses to professionally built dwellings that because of poor-quality design or construction have deteriorated into slums. Slums were common in the 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States and Europe. More recently slums have been predominantly found in urban regions of developing and undeveloped parts of the world, but are also found in developed economies. This respective study focus on all such conditions in Bhat Nagar slum in Pimpri-Chinchwad area, Pune, Maharashtra, India. This report contains the study solid waste pollution, water pollution, sewage and its adverse effects on human health.

The village is very small unit of human settlement. The village is also one of the good examples of stage cultural development of man on the surface of the earth. Geographers role is to understand this stage of cultural development and its relationship with natural environment. The village survey provides the primary data regarding different aspects of life style of man in the village. Environment has direct impact on village culture. Natural phenomenon directly governs the village setup. Therefore it is very important to study natural phenomenon along with human beings.

However no influence of gender emerged with reference to other Learning Styles.

Reading behavior is receiving communication, making discriminative responses to graphic symbols and decoding graphic symbols to speech (Gibson). Reading may be defined as the act of receiving meaning from a written form. It is the ability to interpret linguistic sounds in their graphic and symbolic representation. Reading is a complex cognitive process of decoding symbols in order to construct or derive meaning. Like all language, it is a complex interaction between the text and the reader which is shaped by the reader’s prior knowledge, experiences, attitude, and language community which is culturally and socially situated. The reading process requires continuous practice, development, and refinement.

Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, a flagship programme of Government of India for the promotion of Universalisation of Elementary Education has several features that seek to improve the quality of elementary education. The physical spaces of schools can be transformed into learning spaces only if certain basic provisioning is ensured. This provisioning includes an adequate number of teachers in schools, facilities for training of teachers, structures to provide regular on site academic support, grants to facilitate development of teaching learning material to aid classroom instruction, textbooks for children from special focus groups etc.

Transfer refers to the effect of learning one kind of material or skill or the ability to learn something new. The newly acquired skills must be transferred when it is transferred into one‟s active teaching repertoire. The condition of classroom are sufficiently different from training situation that one ca not simply walk from the training session in to the classroom with the skill completely ready for use. The skills have to be changed to fit classroom conditions. This is truer in the case of unfamiliar skill. To master a new teaching strategy, teacher needs to develop mastery in the skills or strategies. This can be accomplished in training setting. Then the teachers need to acquire executive control over it including ability to use it appropriately and to adopt it into classroom setting (Joyce, B & Showers 1988) therefore believe that transfer of skills is actually a new set of learning. The mastery of the new strategy that the distinction between horizontal and vertical transfer becomes important.

Wetlands are ecosystems or habitats for specific plants and animals that are saturated with water. The presence or absence of water determines their formation, processes and characteristics. Wetlands are of great importance to man and nature as it purifies water, reduces flood, stores water, prevents soil erosion, supports varied biodiversities etc. Starting about thousands of years in urban areas of the world and typically a few hundred years ago in most other coastal areas, humanity has profoundly impacted, degraded or destroyed many coastal wetlands worldwide by direct physical degradation and pollution. Ironically, reduced coastal wetland increases threat to human safety at the same time, shoreline development exposes populations to coastal hazards such as tsunamis, erosion, flooding, storm waves and surges. This paper tries to evaluate the importance of Wetlands and the present scenario of wetlands and the steps taken by the world community to protect and preserve it. This paper illustrates the present scenario of wetlands by The Case study of Pallikaranai Wetlands of Chennai which presents the best example of the dismal state of wetlands in-spite of numerous efforts taken by academicians, environmentalists and the local community to protect it.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perception of pastoralists towards students with disabilities in selected primary schoolsof Dasenechworeda of SouhOmo Zone. To achieve this purpose ethnographical type of research design with qualitative methods was employed. The study was based on data generated from four sampled schools, namely; Kapusia, Ocholoch, Nebremus and Shera. The sources of data for the study were 30 in number; 4 school principals, 4 teachers, 4 Parent teacher association members, 10 students with disabilities, 6 pastoral parents of students with disabilities and 2 education experts. The technique used for identifying sample respondents and schools were purposive sampling. The instruments used for data collection were semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and observation. The data obtained from these instruments was analyzed qualitatively. The findings revealed that, pastoral parents expressed different reactions as a result of having children with disabilities. Their negative perception towards the causes of disability develop negative attitude towards person with disabilities. The beliefs held by parents about the causes of disabilities vary from real cause to sin, evil eye, curse, misdeed in previous life by parents violation of cultural rules, cultural elders’ imprecation (Tregarm and Fergare), and misfortune. Some parents believed that children with disabilities have less learning potential, unable to accomplish household tasks, a sick person, helpless, dependent, beggar, burden to parents, marginalized, and unable to play and work like any other children. In order to alleviate the encountered problems regarding negative perception, the concernedneighborhood school and woreda agencies should arrange practical and continuous awareness rising session on the real cause of disability and overall personality of person with disability.

India is a multi-cultural, multi-religious, multilingual country. Cultural values, customs and traditions make India unique amongst the nations of the world. It is vital to have awareness about various cultures. The world is facing numerous problems such as dissension and intolerance, destruction of the natural environment, wars and poverty, the role of culture particularly in education, cannot be over emphasized. It is now widely recognized that the integration of cultural heritage with the curriculum will make the young aware of the multicultural and pluralistic perspectives. The main purpose of the investigation was to study and compare the level of multi- culturalism awareness of secondary school students of three education boards. The sample comprised of secondary schools. Stratified random sampling technique was used for the selection of standard VIII students from each school. Total sample of students and teachers were 600 from all three educational boards – SSC, CBSE & ICSE. Multi- Culturalism Awareness Test for students was prepared by the researcher.The findings of the study showed that (a) Majority of the students (about three-fourth) belonging to all the three education boards, viz., SSC, CBSE and ICSE, demonstrates a moderate level of Multi-Culturalism awareness. (b) Majority of the teachers (about four-fifth) belonging to all the three education boards, viz., SSC, CBSE and ICSE, demonstrates a moderate level of Multi-Culturalism Awareness .The Multi- Culturalism Awareness Test mean score of students of the ICSE board was the highest followed by CBSE board and SSC board in that order. The findings implied that curriculum of the school board influenced Multi-Culturalism Awareness of students and hence schools affiliated to the SSC board need to modify their curriculum in order to enhance the Multi- Culturalism Awareness of students for a more peaceful society.

Higher education has given ample proof of its viability over the centuries and of its ability to change and to induce change and progress in society. Owing to the scope and pace of change, society has become increasingly knowledge-based so that higher learning and research now act as essential components of cultural, socio-economic and environmentally sustainable development of individuals, communities and nations. Education is a fundamental pillar of human rights, democracy, sustainable development, peace, and shall therefore become accessible to all throughout life and that, measures are required to ensure co-ordination and co-operation across and between the various sectors, particularly between general, technical and professional education as well as between universities, colleges and technical institutions. In this context, the solution of the problems faced in the twenty-first century will be determined by the vision of the future society and by the role that is assigned to higher education. In other words, it is the duty of higher education to ensure that the values and ideals of a culture of peace prevail and that the intellectual community should be mobilized to that end.

The literature search is a very significant step in the research process. Research is carried out in order to inform people with new knowledge or discovery. However, it is not to be expected that everybody would willingly believe what one is tackling in his/her whole research paper. Thus, what one can do to make his/her research more credible will be to support them with other works which have spoken about the same topic that one has for his/her research. This is where literature review comes in. A review of related literature is to be made to gain a proper perception and clarity about the research topic. In the historical and contemporary context, the review of research studies in the related area has been useful in understanding appropriate tools and techniques that can be used in appreciating the various evidences generated and policy prescriptions suggested there in.

Education is that equipment which can properly mould the shape of human beings. While leading the life many difficulties are faced by man. These difficulties enable man to find the solutions through day to day experiences. Once man is able to solve the difficulties, he can change his behaviour and change in behaviour means education. As education is continuous and comprehensive process in the same way to experience throughout the life is of the same importance. Experience is a natural process of education. The education which is earned through experience is called formal education.

ज्ञानेश्वर माउलींचे हे भारुड म्हणजे ब्रह्मदेवाच्या ‘द’ कार उपदेशाप्रमाणे आहे. बृहदारण्यक उपनिषदामध्ये ही कथा आहे, की देव, दानव, मानव ही ब्रह्मदेवाची तीन अपत्ये. या तिघांनी आपला शिक्षाभ्यास ब्रह्मदेवाकडे राहून समाप्त केला आणि अध्ययनाच्या अंती त्यांनी ब्रह्मदेवाला विनंती केली की, ‘देवा, आम्हाला आयुष्यभर आचरण करण्यासाठी काही उपदेश करा’. ब्रह्मदेवांनी तिघांनाही ‘द’ असा उपदेश केला. या एकाक्षर ‘द’ चा अभिधेने काही अर्थ लागेना, तेव्हा तिघेही या उपदेशाचे ग्रहण करण्यासाठी अंतर्मुख होऊन विचारप्रवण झाले व त्याचा लाक्षणिक अर्थ शोधू लागले. देव जेव्हा अंतर्मुख होऊन विचार करू लागले तेव्हा त्यांना असे जाणवले की, आपल्याजवळ भरपूर समृद्धी, ऐश्वर्य त्यामुळे आपले सगळे जीवन भोगविलासात जाते
