“Teaching creates all other professions.”
~Author Unknown
Teaching is the specialized application of knowledge, skills and attributes designed to provide
unique service to meet the educational needs of the individual and of society. The choice of
learning activities whereby the goals of education are realized in the school is the
responsibility of the teaching profession. A more viable starting point in education could be to
perceive entrepreneurial education as a means to achieve more interest, joy, engagement and
creativity among students (Johannisson, 2010, Lackéus, 2013). “The secret of getting ahead is
getting started.” ~Mark Twain, Write. The rapid development of IT technology also provides
many opportunities for learning entrepreneurship skills (Zunfeng and Chunling, 2011), or for
college students to start their own businesses (Chen et al., 2012). The academicians of all the
disciplines are in search of finding out the pedagogical skills to empower their students with
entrepreneurial skills so that they can sustain themselves in the growing competitive world.
Teacher education institutions across the world are in the process revamping their
programmes so that they can meet the future challenges of the growing educational industry.
There is lot of pressure on the Ministry of Human Resource Department in India to revamp
the teacher education in India. The NCTE is also working day and night to enhance the quality
of school education and teacher education in India.

K.Baskaran
DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.7725713
Abstract
Certificate
Most of the products being sold in the market today are identified by their names. The name which helps the buyers
in recalling the product instantly is known as brand name. It is for the purpose of identification of product, it
becomes more crucial in the consumer durable market where buying decisions of the consumers are based on the
brand perception. It has been rightly said by Al Ries and Jack Trout that “Marketing is not a battle of products, It is
a battle of perceptions”, in their book “22 Immutable laws of Marketing”. In order to be perceived first by the
buyer, marketers put deliberate efforts in making the product recognizable and perceivable. Branding helps in
winning the battle of perception. In general, the Indian consumers were indifferent in choosing the brand, since a lot
of close substitutes were available in the market. Due to technological and knowledge up-gradation, today’s
customers prefer to opt for branded product. When several brands of a particular product, which are similar in
quality of performance and external appearance, are available to the consumers brand knowledge, loyalty and trust
can create a preference in the minds of consumers. Thus, there is a need to take a re-look at analyzing the purchase
intention and buyers’ choice towards a particular brand. Under these circumstances an attempt has been made by
the researcher to study the impact of brand heuristics, brand knowledge, brand trust, brand loyalty, perceived
quality, brand association and brand equity on the purchase intention of various brands of television

TEACHER AUTONOMY - MEANING, NEED AND PROBLEMS IN THE INDIAN CONTEXT
Shweta Tewari & Prof. Dhananjay Joshi
DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.7725829
Abstract
Certificate
Autonomy’ refers to the condition or situation of being free from any external control and the power to
take decisions for one’s own interests. Out of the several kinds of autonomy and the variation of its
meaning and interpretation evident in the related literature, discussed indetail ,the focus of the paper
is on teacher autonomy that refers to the ability of the teachers to take decisions pertaining to teaching
and learning. Teacher autonomy is the professional autonomy of teachers that endows them to decide
and plan the curriculum i.ethe course, syllabus, methods, books and study material, evaluation
procedures etc for their students and do what they think is the best for them without any external or
administrative interference. It necessitates trust on the capabilities of teachers in understanding the
real problems of students since it is only them who have consistent and close interaction with the
students and have specialised training into teaching , which many policymakers and administrators
often lack and unfortunately seem disconnected with the ground reality. Teacher autonomy also refers
to the freedom of teachers in conducting research to solve immediate problems of classrooms(action
research) and publish the results and also feel free to share their experiences to all stakeholders.
Autonomy has been also often been linked to creativity by many educationists who say that teaching
is an art and what is art without having to innovate and act freely without constraints of any kind?
Many researches, as have been discussed in the paper reveal how teacher autonomy is linked with
having happier, stress-free and motivated teachers and less number of teacher burnout and drop-outs.
Some longitudinal studies discussedin the paper have also reported that teacher autonomy is linked
with student achievement and as seen over the years, more autonomous teachers have produced more
number of students with higher achievement. Some findings also imply that the countries with less
autonomy of teachers have lower levels of student achievement and vice-versa. The discussion of the
importance of teacher autonomy with respect to the Indian education system in the paper takes us back
to the Vedic system of Gurukuls where the teacher was not only a very respected and trusted upon
individual, he was also the utmost and an autonomous authority with no external interference even
from the rulers of those times. The paper discusses the barriers to teacher autonomy leading to a rigid
, controlled and structured patterns of curriculum planning at all levels and lists theplausible reasons

DYNAMICS OF CAREER ASPIRATION OF TRIBAL UNDERGRADUATES
Pabitra Kumar Das
DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.7725910
Abstract
Certificate
“To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do that, is the key to
happiness” - John Dewey
‗Man‘s most ancient preoccupation – work, has today yielded the inspiration of career and it is the most important aspect of the overall development of the human individual. From flint to microchip the idea of career gets various different transformations over the ages‘ (Arulmani 2009). Further, the impact of globalization has quickened the pace for expansion and transformation all over the world and this has thrown up multiple career options for living. Career is ‗a field for or pursuit of consecutive progressive achievement especially in public, professional, or business life‘ as defined in Merriam Webster Dictionary (2015). Career aspiration is epistemologically dealt with individual‘s actual objective to be what he or she wants in life, pertaining to what type of vocation or profession they want to pursue. Aspiration
is defined as ―A students‘ ability to identify and set goals for the future, while being inspired in the present to work toward those goals‖ (Quaglia & Cobb, 1996). In social-personal
dimension it is a mechanism whereby society utilizes the services of its members to contribute to its wellbeing, progress and development. It is not only means of individual‘s livelihood but also the identity of self. Since, Indian society is highly complex and hierarchical, it results various connotations of career and career related trajectories for the individuals. ‗In India as caste system is the resultant of Varna systems which has began to fade, class and prestigebased approach to career gets subtle but strong influence on work behaviour‘ (Arulmani
2009); then career finds its being at the confluence of the two great streams of influences on
individual development—his biology and his socialization. Career is an individual‘s life goal; although a work done under any career is neutral in nature whereas aspiration can be of manifested and expressed.

only knowledge will work there.The present study set out to explore the various reforms in the existing
examination system as inputs to the New Policy of Education 2016. The Paper explores and suggests various recommendations to bring much needed reforms in the examination systems.

Abhilasha Sinha
DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.7725873
Abstract
Certificate
ICT in Education is the foundation upon which a country develops. It is a dynamic force in the life of every individual influencing his physical, mental, emotional, social and ethical developments. It is a complete development of the individuality of a child enabling him to make original contribution to human life. The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching and learning provides more opportunities for teachers and students to work better in an information age. However, some barriers may discourage teachers to integrate ICT in the classroom and prevent them to introduce supporting materials through ICT usage. This study aims to investigate the main barriers for integrating Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) by school teachers. Data was obtained from 150 (97 female, 53 male) High school teachers in Patna district. The findings indicated that although teachers had a strong desire to use ICT in
the classroom, they were encountered with some barriers. Insufficient technical supports at schools and little access to Internet and ICT were considered as the major barriers preventing teachers to integrate ICT into the curriculum. Present study revealed that ICT resources including software and hardware, effective professional
development, sufficient time, and technical support need to be provided to teachers. No one component in itself is sufficient to provide good teaching. However, the presence of all components increases the possibility of excellent integration of ICT in learning and teaching opportunities. Studying the obstacles to use of ICT in
education may assist educators to overcome these barriers and become successful technology adopters in the future.

DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.7725964
Abstract
Certificate
Crystalline cadmium telluride thin films has been deposited using appropriate precursor solution containing cadmium sulphate, triethanolamine, sodium hydroxide, Ammonia and Sodium telluro sulphate in aqueous alkaline medium at 62 ±20C. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), optical absorption spectra and electrical measurements. The colour of formed film was found to be light gray. The crystalline phase of the deposited sample was cubic type. Optical absorption spectra showed the presence of direct transition with band gap energy 1.78 eV. The electrical resistivity of CdTe thin film was found to the order of 10-6 (Ώ.cm)-1. Thermoelectric power (TEP) measurement showed n-type electrical conduction.

Financial inclusion is new paradigm of economic growth which plays a major role in driving away the poverty. Lack of access to financial services in most of rural areas due to high informative barriers and low awareness, poor functioning and financial history of financial institutions, near absence of insurance and pension service create the need and scope of financial inclusion.

Regional rural Banks play a vital role in the agriculture and rural development of India. The RRBs were setup in 1975 as the 'low cost banks' to supplement the efforts of cooperative and commercial banks. RRBs came into existence with an objective to ensure sufficient institutional credit for agriculture and other rural sectors.. RRBs are key financing institution at the rural level which shoulders responsibility of meeting credit needs of different types of agriculture credit in rural areas. At present, most of the regional rural banks are facing the problems of overdue, recovery, nonperforming assets and other problems. RRBs are usually sponsored by public sector banks thus they keep their deposit with these bank & are also dependent for their loan operations & finance on
sponsor bank and NABARD. The objective of my paper is to study the role and working of RRBs in rural development of India. The paper also attempts to study the role of RBI, Nabard and Central Government in successful working of RRBs for rural development in India.
