The purpose of this paper is to provide Knowledge Management Practitioners with a simplified and activity-based Knowledge Audit process. Knowledge audit is a process to check on an organization's knowledge `health', before the organization starts with their knowledge management initiative. The Knowledge Audit focuses on the critical business objectives specifically in a business-related environment, but may be applied to other forms of organization with some adaptation. Knowledge Audit helps in recruitments needs i.e., knowledge acquisition, the learning/training needs, and the knowledge base requirements to achieve organizational goals. This paper describes the form to represent the audit process and its advantages, as well as the mechanism to reuse the information gathered from it. The design of the proposed ontology, the elements to be presented from knowledge audit, the way in which they can be represented with the help of the ontology, and their potential reuse for the development of applications are shown.

Technology is dominated by two types of people: those who understand what they do not manage, and those who manage what they do not understand - Putt's Law The advent of the ITled era and the increased competition has forced Academic to react to the new changes in order to remain competitive. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems offer distinct advantages in this new academic environment as they lower operating costs, reduce cycle times and (arguably) increase user satisfaction. This study examines, via an exploratory survey of more academic, the underlying reasons why Institutions choose to convert from conventional information systems (IS) to ERP systems and the changes brought in, particularly in the Library Management process. The aim is not only to understand the changes and the benefits involved in adopting ERP systems compared with conventional IS, but also to establish the best way forward in future ERP applications. The empirical evidence confirms a number of changes in the Library Management process introduced with the adoption of ERP systems

In modern India, there have been many original thinkers on education, who have felt the need for a review of the educational system introduced by the British Raj, creating loyal servants of the government. There was a search for a better system of education in the country among the reformers and intellectuals. In this process, a good deal of thinking, combined with actual experimentation on various alternative models of education had taken place. Unfortunately, their contributions have not been adequately reflected in the educational decisions during recent times. Among others, we can remember the contribution of Vivekananda, Tagore, Aurobindo, Tilak, Zakir Husain, Radhakrishnan and above all, Mahatma Gandhi. It is high time to review the principles of education explained by them and to examine their validity in the present context.

An academic revolution has taken place in higher education in the past half century marked by transformations unprecedented in scope and diversity. Comprehending this ongoing and dynamic process while being in the midst of it is not an easy task. The academic changes of the late 20th and early 21st centuries are more extensive due to their global nature and the number of institutions and people they affect. In the early 21st century, higher education has become a competitive enterprise. In many countries students must compete for scarce places in universities and in all countries admission to the top institutions has become more difficult. Universities compete for status and ranking, and generally for funding from governmental or private sources. While competition has always been a force in academe and can help produce excellence, it can also contribute to a decline in a sense of academic community, mission and traditional values. The global economy is promoted as being a ‘knowledge economy’, which is used to justify ongoing attempts to increase participation rates in higher education. But if governments continue to move away from the ‘higher education as public good’ approach, higher education will continue to become more marketised and less research focused. Higher education has been placed at the centre of public debate as a result of the 2008 financial collapse and the ongoing economic crisis. The main thrust of the issue centres around a rejustification of the role of higher education and a redefinition of its funding relationship with government. It is important because the economic crisis has changed higher education at both the micro and macro levels. The immediate shorter-term impact of the economic crisis has been at the institutional micro level where as it is more important in the longer-term impact of the economic crisis on macro planning and policy of higher education. The economic crisis has legitimized the long-existing argument that higher education should be treated the same as any other service in the economy and, as such, should be subject to ever-more accountability and managerialist practices.

The science of taxonomy involves the history and study of classification and the study of different systems of classification. Taxonomy is difficult to learn”. A survey method has been used for studying learning strategies used in learning taxonomy. Data collection has been done through content achievement tests with the twin objectives of analysing strategies used by students for select topics of taxonomy and for studying relationships between achievement and strategies. High achievers have been found to use meta-cognitive strategies.

India possesses 5 per cent of the World’s total water resources. According to K. L. Rao (1975), there are about 10,360 rivers of at least 1.6 km length each with average annual flow of 1869 km3. From the geographical perspective, only 69000 corers km3 (32 %) surface water is used, due to uneven distribution and other hindrances (Gurjar, 2008). The study region ‘Upper Krishna Basin’ extends between 15˚44´ to 18˚ 03´16´´ North latitude and 73˚ 33´ to 75˚ 16´30´´ East longitudes. The main objective of present research paper is to study Spatio-temporal variation of surface water availability in sub basins of upper Krishna basin in Maharashtra. River Krishna basin is divided into two major basins namely western and eastern upper Krishna basin. Total area of upper Krishna basin is 20,400 km², out of it western part of upper Krishna covers 15,116 km² and eastern part of upper Krishna coverage is 5284 km². In western part of the study region, water availability is more than 99 per cent in Krishna NW and Krishna SW sub-basin. In eastern part of study region, Yerala and Agarani sub-basins are highly water deficit basins and the surface water availability is only 01 per cent.

Universalization of Elementary Education is the prime focus of Government of Maharashtra. Government of India’s Educational Development Index shows Maharashtra has made significant progress in access and infrastructure facilities in the recent years. A good progress in bridging equity gap. Access and Availability of school is adequately available in the state. 98%of the children are enrolled in the schools. Information available with various sources of the School Education Department of Government of Maharashtra indicating that School Development Plan (SDP) data for the year 2012 reflects2.23 lakh children are out of school. We analyzed data from District Information System of Education (DISE) from the year 2006-07 to 2012-13 and found that the enrollment in Government and Private Aided Schools at primary level has declined by 12% (11 lakhs). Changing Trends of enrollment during the year 2006-07 to 2012-13 is clearly indicating shift of 7% enrollment from Government and Local Body Schools to Private Schools and 10% Shift of Class-I enrollment from Marathi medium to English medium. Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) is largest survey to assess learning level in Rural India. Pratham is a NGO who have released ASER report for 2012. Some of key findings of the report are -although % of out-of-school children is lower than the national average but it increased over the period. Learning levels declined during 2011 and 2012. Focus is required on Maths. Student and teacher attendance rate is better than the national average. Toilet is available is schools but usability of toilet is an issue. In Maharashtra only 8% children of class- IV can read easy sentences, 12% children of class-IV can read easy sentences 4% children of class-IV can not read even letters.
