Business employ a number of strategies to improve financial profitability, including streamlining processes, outsourcing and integrating new technologies. The study sought to determine the relationship between financial leverage and profitability of listed manufacturing firms in Kenya. More specifically the study examined the relationship between short term debt, long term debt and debt equity, on profitability of listed manufacturing firms in Kenya. Theories that guided the study include; Market Power Theory and Pecking Order Theory. The target population of the study was ten manufacturing firms quoted in Nairobi Stock Exchange. Secondary data for all the ten (10) listed Manufacturing firms was collected using a data collection sheet for a period of six years between 2012- 2016. The data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Descriptive analysis involved means, standard deviations, trend analysis, maximum and minimum across all variables. Inferential statistics included; Pearson correlation and multiple regression analyses. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to show the relationship between variables while multiple regression analyses was used to test the magnitude of the relationship and also test formulated hypotheses. The study revealed a negative relationship of short term debt (-0.362) and debt to equity ratio (-0.062) on profitability of listed manufacturing firms. On the other hand long term debt (0.349) positively and significantly affected listed manufacturing firms. . The study findings assists the capital market regulator that is Capital Market Athority (CMA) and other policy makers in formulating appropriate mechanisms necessary to continuously monitor and evaluate the financing aspect of corporations. The study further contributes to the existing body of literature, and form a reference point for future scholars researching in this area The study recommend that debt to equity should be reduced by the manufacturing firms since it largely affects the earning before tax and manufacturing firms should consider where possible, using their internally generated funds to finance their projects and only go for debt financing when they have fully exhausted their internal funds.

The factors affecting the price of an equity share can be viewed from the macro and micro economic perspectives. These factors will affect the demand and supply of a stock in the market which in turn will affect the price of the stock. The purpose of the study was to evaluate selected factors influencing share price behavior of commercial banks listed in the NSE. The factors to be evaluated were dividend per share, financial leverage, book value per share and interest rates. The study utilized published financial statements of the listed commercial banks, the average lending rates charged by the banks to its customers as a measure of interest rates, and the daily share prices of the commercial banks. Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used by the researcher to facilitate the analysis and interpretation of data and the results obtained was presented using tables for easy interpretation. The study used correlational and longitudinal research design. Significance of each independent variable and the hypothesis was tested using ttest statistic. The p-value for each t-test was used to make conclusions on whether to not reject or reject the null hypotheses. The benchmark for this study to reject or to accept the null hypothesis was a level of significance of 5 percent. The correlation results indicated that dividend per share had a strong positive correlation while book value per share and financial leverage had a weak positive correlation on market price per share of commercial banks. The regression analysis and test of hypothesis showed that dividend per share and book value per share had a significant effect while financial leverage had no significant effect on the market price per share of commercial banks. This study will be useful to the investors, the decision makers of commercial banks, the CMA and NSE Policy makers, the government and the scholars. The researcher recommends that further research can be extended to cover longer time periods, more firms and more macroeconomic variables.

Section 12 of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009 (the Act) has made it compulsory for every private unaided school to admit at least 25% of its entry level class from children belonging to weaker and disadvantaged groups. Due to various implementation issues this policy has been criticized by many social activists, academicians and educationists as well. An empirical study of the schools from Pune and Beed show various issues in the implementation of this provision, such as - vague admission process under the RTE, reimbursement as a per child expenditure being insufficient, negative approach of the school regarding the admission under 25% admission, lack of awareness of parents about the 25% reservation, schools manipulating the provision of admission under 25% reservation policy, etc. Suggestions for the effective implementation of the 25% admission policy include a fair selection process, adequate and timely reimbursement to school, transparent monitoring and evaluation system among others. Overall this 25% neighbourhood school admission policy for the disadvantaged and weaker students is good but needs a far better implementation structure and a determined political and administrative will to succeed on greater scale. Its main objectives of social integration of children and exposure to quality education are laudable and express the best intentions of the RTE act.

The human society, since time immemorial, has been characterized by inequalities and inequities on one hand and quest for equality and equity on the other. At present the scheduled castes constituting approximately 16.6 percent (census 2011) of the total population in India and 25.2 percent of the total population in Himachal Pradesh have important social formation in the Indian society. The continuity and change in the life of scheduled castes is historical in nature attributing mainly to the concerted efforts made by various scheduled castes organizations themselves for their up-liftment. The constitutional provisions are translated into a reality by incorporating them into development policies and plans. Whatever changes which have come in the life of the scheduled castes are the result of planned developmental strategies. Despite various measures have been taken to improve the socioeconomic conditions of scheduled castes, they still remain vulnerable. Atrocities against the members of the scheduled castes still continue to a disturbing level. The public accountability provisions under the Act need to be outlined in detail and strengthened. The objective of the study is to emphasize the intention of the Indian constitutional provisions to develop scheduled castes through affirmative action’s in order to enable them to live in society with dignity and self-esteem without any discrimination and fear.

Plea bargaining is a novel concept in India. In modern era of criminal justice system, the vast majority of criminal convictions are produced through bargained pleas. It is the process whereby the accused and the prosecutor in a criminal case work out a mutually satisfactory disposition of the case subject to the court approval. It usually involves the defendant’s pleading guilty to lesser offence as to only one or some of the courts of a multi-count indictment in return for a lighter sentence than that possible for the graver charge. Therefore, plea-bargaining refers to pre-trial negotiations between the defendant through his/her counsel and the prosecution during which the accused agrees to plead guilty in exchange of lesser punishment. In India, position is very different from US. In the US and Europe, plea bargaining is a widely prevalent practice which helps expedite the legal process. Plea bargaining allows the accused to bargain with the court on the sentence that will be awarded. In India, it was introduced by way of an amendment Act of 2005 in Code of Criminal Procedure. This paper has made an attempt to critically evaluate the concept and applicability of plea bargaining in India criminal law as well as judicial attitude towards this concept.

Nehru’s words that “English is our major window on the modern world.”The Radhakrishnan University Education Commission observed, “It is a language which is rich in literature-humanistic, scientific and technical. If under sentimental urges we should give up English, We would cut ourselves off from the living stream of ever-growing knowledge. so for acquiring English Knowledge it is very important to develop proper English Language skills. There are four basic skills of learning any language. These basic skills are Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. For Semi-English Marathi medium primary school, it is first duty of the teacher to create interest of students for developing skills of English Language. In this particular research researcher used play way method for developing different skills in students. It is observed that Play-way methods of teaching is more effective more than the traditional methods of teaching because it brings about children becoming active learners. Traditional method relies mainly on textbooks while the play-way method relies on hands-on materials approach. In traditional method, presentation of materials starts with the parts, then moves on to the whole while in the play-way, presentation of materials starts with the whole, then moves to the parts. Traditional method emphasizes on basis skills while play-way method emphasizes on big ideas. With traditional method of teaching, assessment is seen as a separate activity and occurs through testing while with play-way method of teaching, assessment is seen as an activity integrated with teaching and learning, and occurs through portfolios and observation (Brooks and Brooks, 1999).

A teacher is considered as the most vibrant factor in the process of education. His role is considered constructive, productive to achieve quality education. The citizens of a nation are the products of quality education. The quality of education depends on the quality of teachers. Teacher is the backbone of an educational system, maker of the mankind and the architect of the society. Qualities of teachers are adjudged on their competency on the subject, expertise to use methods and techniques of teaching, ability to understand learners’ problems and their attitudinal makeup. Quality is a dynamic and positive concept. It is essentially a product of intensive investment of capital, talent and hard work. Quality cannot be superficially achieved. Quality is not a chance, but a choice. Quality again is not an accident but a continuous goal achieving process. Quality is not destination, but an uninterrupted journey. While a teacher is so important for the entire nation, in this paper the researcher has tried to study the quality of student-teachers, the state Odisha is producing and it is proved through their academic achievement which is considered as the best tool to measure the efficiency in Indian educational system. An attempt is also made to study whether there is a significant relationship exists between the quantum of students enrolled and the number of student-teachers passed in the examination.

Climate change is a global phenomenon that is felt now at local level also. We all have been experiencing changes in the seasons. The winter is getting shorter, summer long and monsoon highly unpredictable. Our agriculture production has gone down and the cost of cultivation has increased. The improved crop varieties that we grow are not capable of withstanding the burden of climate change at all the places. Earlier the crop varieties were suitable for particular place. These varieties were developed through selection over a long period of time, to suit the climatic and edaphic condition of an area. Many of such traditionally developed varieties have disappeared during the last few decades as there were no takers for them. Under the present scenario it is highly advisable to protect such varieties from getting extinct. Also there is need to document, test and preserve such valuable crop biodiversity from getting extinct. These varieties are useful not only for food security but also for livelihood of many who are dependent on agriculture.

Waste Pickers play vital roles in municipal solid waste management which include waste collection, separation, sorting and reuse of waste, thereby aiding recycling and reducing pressure on the environment. Waste picking which occurs mostly in developing countries is an important survival option for the poor and unemployed. Introduction of new waste management strategies such as, separation of waste in homes would most likely impact on the livelihood of the unskilled waste pickers, because waste picking activities from landfills may be significantly reduced. Studies carried out in three areas of Johannesburg (South Africa) to determine the amount of waste that may be diverted from landfills showed that: 78.6%, 68.7% and 50.6% of recyclables and compostable materials from high, middle and low - income areas respectively may be diverted from the waste stream. If translated into practice, it could significantly impact on reduction on volumes of waste being landfilled. This paper seeks to establish how changes to the current system of waste collection in the City of Johannesburg will impact on waste pickers; and presents options for integrating waste pickers into a modern solid waste management system.

Constructivism is a theory of Knowledge, a philosophy of learning. Its proponents include Piaget, Vygotsky and later-day philosopher Glasersfeld. The constructivist philosophy has been adopted in teaching of science by many enthusiastic pedagogues and teachers in many countries. A Constructivist pedagogy does not consists of a single teaching strategy. Instead, it has several features that should be attended to simultaneously in a classroom. It has been asserted that for a successful constructivist strategy, the teaching has not only to be student-centred and the teacher a mere facilitator, but the teacher has the added responsibility to create a conducive classroom environment. Research has established that constructive methods of science teaching have been much more successful than the traditional methods. In the present research paper the author has identified some of the most important reasons for lack of success of constructivist strategy, especially in developing countries.

Cloud computing is an emerging model of business computing. Cloud computing has formed the conceptual and infrastructural basis for tomorrow is computing. The global computing infrastructure is rapidly moving towards cloudbased architecture. While it is important to take advantages of could based computing by means of deploying it in diversified sectors, the security aspects in a cloud based computing environment remains at the core of interest. Cloud based services and service providers are being evolved which has resulted in a new business trend based on cloud technology. With the introduction of numerous clouds based services and geographically dispersed cloud service providers, sensitive information of different entities are normally stored in remote servers and locations with the possibilities of being exposed to unwanted parties in situations where the cloud servers storing those information are compromised. If security is not robust and consistent, the flexibility and advantages that cloud computing has to offer will have little credibility. Technology innovation and its adoption are two critical successful factors for any business/organization. Cloud computing is a recent technology paradigm that enables organizations or individuals to share various services in a seamless and costeffective manner. This paper describes cloud computing, a computing platform for the next generation of the Internet.

One of the more confusing mysteries of India is her caste system. The caste system, which exists already for more than 3000 years, seems to have been developed by the Brahmins (priests) in order to maintain their superiority.The Downtrodden perform the most menial and degrading jobs.India is a secular nation but only in documents. We are still the slaves of the caste system which shows the worst condition of India. Undoubtedly India is the developing nation at the international level. But that growth is only in papers, but the reality is we are still suffering from the worst condition which includes castesim, unemployment, worst condition of women, unawareness.

India in last two decades has been credited to the higher education system which has been able to produce skilled manpower for the speedy industrialization and knowledge based economy and has become the hub of Information Technology (IT) & IT enabled services industry and manufacturing industry. To keep pace with the range of the demands of modern society the institutions of higher education have similarly been forced to diversify. Higher education in India thus, has been finding it difficult to meet the challenges of unplanned expansion, educated unemployment, uneven growth, commercialization of education, financial crises, teacher burnout and the digital divide of quantity versus quality, equity versus excellence, and creativity versus conformity which are posing continuous threats. However, there are gaps between the situations also in developing and developed countries, within urban and rural areas, between the wealthy and the poor, males and females, and among different ethnic groups.

This article seeks to compile an understanding of the role of media in sustaining democracy and national development. The media place the public agenda and act as the caretaker of public issues. The need to belong to a common national life has changed with the inception of modernization and democratization processes. The media is also said to be an aggregation of all communication channels that use techniques of making a lot of direct personal communication between the communicator and the public. The mass media constitute the backbone of democracy. Many multicultural and multiethnic countries have adopted democratic values, institutions and processes to hold their societies together. Media are particularly important in facilitating nation-building, especially of post-colonial societies and those experiencing ethnic and religious diversities. The real influence of the media in national development depends on the media themselves, the societies in which they function, and the audience they accomplish.

As the inevitable process of the 21st century, globalization has affected and altered all aspects of human life including education. The increasing interconnection between countries is leading to the recognition of both shared problems and shared solutions for which citizens’ rights, obligations, and responsibilities transcend the traditional nation-state. In a globalized world, education is putting more emphasis on equipping individuals from an early age, and throughout life, with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors they need to be informed, engaged and empathetic citizens. Global citizenship is found to require significant adjustment of individual, corporate, national, and regional interests. Citizenship education, are focused on the learner and the development of skills and attitudes to participate in and contribute to a changing social order. Education for citizenship themes is often built around a stimulus activity that will make a bond with the student as a person and guide his or her development in relation to peers and others and the wider society. It is inspired by ethical principles in reference, in part at least, to civil, social, and political rights. This article seeks to provide an understanding of the concept of global citizenship and its relevance and implication in the 21st century education.

In this paper an attempt has been made to study the status of student support system and highlight the problems faced by the distance learners and some suggestions to address their problems. This paper is the outcome of interaction with distance learners during the PCP of ICDEOL, H. P. University at MLSM College, Sundernagar. Further in this paper a case has been made to rethink and re-plan about the planning and development of human and material resources required in distance education by the end of the 11th five-year plan and beginning of 12th five year plan. The system is all poised for a big leap, and it is at this stage decision makers need to discuss about the strategies to cope with the problems and develop the distance education system in a more relevant and sustainable way. It is established fact that recognizing the qualified human resource is key to sustainable development of any system would result in a system that provides better qualitative outputs and outcomes at a time when the resilience of the system is subjected to test. Not giving thoughts to the needs of the system in terms of the human resources will bring the system more criticisms in implementation than laurels that the theoretical principles of distance education will boast of. As such there is every danger in “Great Plans with little Planning”. In other words every people always try to add value to their competence in their bid to advance their carrier further. Distance Education is also very cheaper to compare with regular mode of education. Distance education has greatly reduced the wall of distance between education and a normal student beyond the long distance of home or work place to university.

In May 2016, Jio launched a set of multimedia applications on Google Play as part of its upcoming 4G services. Jio network is more compatible with most applications available on Google play than other networks which lead JIO to enter the market aggressively. According to the previous literature, the number of observations extracted by previous researchers is lower. Therefore, this paper focuses on knowing the level of customer satisfaction with the use of jio network, by placing it as a main objective. To meet the objective, the research paper prepared a questionnaire for 200 respondents, using a simple random sampling. The results indicate that the respondents are partially satisfied with the use of jio network. The main reason for their partial dissatisfaction is that in case network issue with jio then customers won’t be able to use anything on network while in other operators case customers may use voice calling in absence of data network. Jio operates on VOLTE (VOICE OVER LONG TERM EVOLUTION) network which help customers to connect on video calls without using the data and get the HD(High Definition) quality of voice and video. Free voice calls, roaming charges free network across the country, free applications, free dialer tones, voice clarity, and video call conference are the value added services provided by jio network absolutely free. Detailed work can be done in future on this research paper for better findings and recommendations.

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of resistance training, endurance training and combined training on selected physical fitness variables. Sixty male students aged between 17 and 22 years were selected for the study. They were divided into four equal groups, each group consisting of fifteen subjects in which Group I underwent resistance training, group II underwent endurance training, group III underwent combined training three days per week for twelve weeks and group IV acted as control, which did not participate in any training. The subjects were tested on selected criterion variables such as leg strength, back strength and cardio-respiratory endurance at prior to and immediately after the training period. For testing the leg strength and back strength, the dynamometer was used and to test the cardio-respiratory endurance, the Cooper’s 12 minutes run/walk test was administered. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant difference if any, between the experimental groups and control group on selected criterion variables separately. Since there were four groups involved in the present study, the Scheffé S test was used as post-hoc test. The selected criterion variables such as leg strength, back strength and cardio-respiratory endurance were improved significantly for all the training groups when compared with the control group and the leg and back strength were improved significantly for resistance training group and in cardio-respiratory endurance, the endurance training group was significantly improved.

Curriculum refers to the specific blueprint for learning that is derived from desired results—that is, content and performance standards. Curriculum takes content and shapes it into a plan for how to conduct effective teaching and learning. The main focus of curriculum development is on deciding which knowledge, skills and values to be taught, how to reach the intended outcomes, and the learning and teaching processes. Technology have affected our lives for over half a century. Yet, the teacher education curriculum is still perceived as traditional in its structure and implementation. Attempts to assimilate technology into teacher education curricula are frequently supported by policymakers. Innovation has become an increasingly important theme in teacher education. However, significant change in content, teaching and learning processes and assessment methods can actually be detected mainly in focal innovative initiatives within training institutions. After systematic education reforms in many countries around the world, it results in some cases deep changes in the curriculum, the pedagogical activities as well as the roles of teachers and pupils that made significant use of information and communication technology. Present study concentrates on technological enhancement in pedagogy as well as in curriculum development, which results into fruitful and effecting teaching and learning process. During study it found that a major challenge in teacher education is how to sustain and scale up innovative technology because this integrated technological knowledge helps a prospective teacher to know the world of technology in a better way by which it can be applied in future for the betterment of the students.

There is a great importance of education in life because from the day one when child takes birth he starts learning and till the end of his life he learns something and in this education plays an important role because education opens our mind, widens our views and helps us in becoming good citizen of a country that’s why elementary education is a must. To ensure education to every child central government has provisioned an act named as Right to Education 2009 (RTE). Right to education is an act, the Parliament of India has enacted on 4th August 2009, which describes the modalities of the importance of free and compulsory education to children between the ages of 6 to 14 years in India under Article 21A of the Indian Constitution. When the act came into force on 1st April 2010 education became a fundamental right of every child. The title of the RTE Act incorporates the words “free and compulsory”. Free education means that no child shall be liable to pay any kind of fee or charges or expenses which may prevent him or her for pursuing and completing elementary education from class I to class VIII. Compulsory education means the responsibility of government and local authorities to provide and ensure admission, attendance and completion of elementary education by all the children in the 6-14 years age group. With this, India has moved forward to a right based frame work that casts a legal obligation on the central and state government to implement the fundamental child right as enshrined in article 21A of the constitution, in accordance with the provision of the RTE Act .It is an inclusive act as it covers children belonging to weaker section and disadvantaged group for their educational needs and their holistic development.
