Adolescence, the transitional period between childhood and adulthood is marked by changes in the body, mind and social relationships. As adolescents confront these challenging years, they establish a self-concept; that is some sense of who they are. A strong self-concept, especially among girls, appears to be a key factor in developing good mental and physical health. Equally important is the positive impact of emotional support for all adolescents- boys and girls (Park,2003). Self-concept is a central concept in psychology ( Harter, 1983). One way to measure adolescent growth is through the level of the self-concept, which indicates how worthy individuals believe they are. Self-concept has been viewed in the present study as one’s knowledge about one’s own self in the form of an organized cognitive structure that takes into account a set of attitudes, beliefs and values. It is regarded in the form of perceptual, conceptual and attitudinal components and it is regarded as a component of personality of ‘how I see myself’, self-esteem, self-confidence and self-contentment. The present study is a noble attempt to find out the differences in social and emotional adjustment and self-concept of adolescents with sex and type of school variation and the relationship, if any, between self-concept and social and emotional adjustment, also if there exist significant differences in the high, average and low self-concept groups with respect to their social and emotional adjustment. Key words: adolescents, self-concept, social, emotional, adjustment

A nation is a federation of states, social groups, families and individuals. So what is needed is a situation of live and let live. One's needs, aspirations, accomplishments are all important. But there has to be a concept of a noble nation, where the welfare of the whole nation as a whole is ingrained in the thinking and actions of its people. This is the need of the hour. Taking into the account of Democracy one may stimulates the tools. Democracy today is in the hands of the politicians.

Some novel transition metal [Cu (II), Ni (II) and Zn (II)] complexes of substituted pyridine Schiff-bases have been prepared and characterized by physical, spectral and analytical data. The synthesized Schiff-bases act as deprotonated tridentate for the complexation reaction with Cu (II), Ni (II) and Zn(II) ions. In order to evaluate the effect of metal ions upon chelation, the Schiff bases and their complexes have been screened for antibacterial activity against the strains such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcusaureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The complexed Schiff bases have shown to be more antibacterial against one more bacterial species as compared to uncomplexed Schiff-bases. Keywords: Schiff base, Transition metal complexesof Cu (II), Ni (II).
