The Project Initiation Stage is concerned with taking these ideas and intentions and developing them into a formal, planned, resourced and funded project. In order to define a project in this way, it is first necessary to clearly and explicitly define what the project is intended to achieve and what its scope of interest will be.

We have seen in the past some of the teachers in the higher learning institutions have produced outstanding scholars. During those days there was no NAAC, there was no academic audit and no attendance and yet they produced talented students from the institutions. The students came out from the academic institutions were with self confidence. The present ratio of student: teacher in the country is almost 20:1, colleges having about 4, 21,000 teachers and universities 79,000. More than 25% colleges’ and almost 35% universities’ teaching positions nationwide are vacant, and 57% of college and 22% university teacher lack either a master’s or Ph.D. degree. India’s one of the major wealth is youth (18-40 years of age) which presently stands at almost 80 million, 62% of the total population (127 million, male 65.6 million and female 61.4%). Despite growing education, 25% of its population is still illiterate; and just 18% go college and university. The quality of higher education is significantly poor. India’s post secondary institutions offer only enough seats for 7% of India’s college-age population.

Higher education, it is said, is the seat of learning where majority of younger generation spends much time availing education through various courses and degrees. Thus, higher education becomes a major industry which creates skilled and qualified human resources. Higher education, especially given through colleges and universities involves financial activities though their chore activity is catering education to their students.

On the basis of the collected information, inferences are drawn regarding the use of accounting principles and conventions practiced by the sample colleges. The present paper attempts to throw light upon the prevailing accounting practices in the conventional colleges. Also, an attempt is made to evaluate the data gathered through questionnaire regarding the maintaining of accounts with respect to curricular activities, co-curricular activities and extra-curricular activities in collegesArts, Science and Commerce colleges follow certain accounting principles and conventions while preparing their budget for the financial year keeping in view the activities that the institute designs to conduct throughout the year.

Emperor Shibi, Sage Markandeya, Lord Brahmma and Lord Shiva and Garuda Bhagwan worshipped Lord Pundarikaksha in this temple. Lord Vishnu told Mahalakshmi who was also present on the occasion that he had transferred all rights of the place to her and He would be there only in Archarupa idol in the place. The emperor was preparing to take on his mission then. Sage Markandeya stopped him and said that Lord Vishnu was already on the mission to destroy the Ravana group in His incarnation as Lord Rama and that he could therefore return to his kingdom. The king was not happy at the suggestion. Markandeya asked him to build a temple for the Lord who granted him darshan. Obeying the sage, the emperor brought 3,700 families to conduct the pujas in order. On the way one died and the number fell short by one. Lord assured the Shibi that he would replace the deceased and make the number 3,700 as the emperor wished. Mother Sengamalavalli is in the sanctum sanctorum.

Globalization and technological change- processes that have geared up in tandem over the past years have shaped a new global economy and affected each and one ―powered by technology, fueled by information and driven by knowledge. Especially Information and communication technologies (ICT) presently are influencing every aspect of human life. The impact of the ICT on each sector of the life across the past two-three decades has been commendable. The impact and the way to act is different as compared to their pasts. Across the past twenty years the use of ICT has basically changed all forms of endeavors within business, governance and off-course education. Information and communication technologies (ICTs)—which include radio and television, as well as newer digital technologies such as computers and the Internet have been flaunted as potentially powerful enabling tools for educational change and reform. The effective integration of ICTs into the educational system is a complex process that involves not just technology—indeed, given enough initial capital, getting the technology is the easiest part but also curriculum and pedagogy, institutional readiness, teacher competencies, and long-term financing. As world is moving rapidly towards digital information, the role of ICTs in education becoming more and more important and this importance will continue to grow and develop in this century. The ICTs are yet to be instituted on wide scale in education and many milestones are still to betouched to envision the absolute practice in education. This paper highlights how ICT is influencing the education and making teaching-learning easy and effective, the role in upgrading contemporary higher education and discusses potential future developments.

Only a creative and enthusiastic teacher can incorporate the modern development of Web based teaching in the classroom very successfully. When teacher lack the necessary confidence to integrate a technology into their lessons, they tend to ignore it. Access to resources, quality of software and hardware ease of use incentives to change support collegiality in the school and commitment to professional learning are among other factors influencing teacher‟s decision to use new technologies in the classroom. Many factors contribute to the attitude and skill of using technology in the classroom by teachers in education. One important factor is technophobia where teachers show fear of or revulsion to modern technology. The main cause oftechnophobia is ignorance. The people who shun technology are generally the people who don‟t understand it.
