Magnitude and dimension of urban poverty manifest itself in the emerg ence of exclusionary urban processes characterised by lack of basic services to slum dwellers and low income groups. Pro - poor components of JNNURM become very relevant in this context. This paper tries to analyse the pattern of work done under the Sub - Miss ion of JNNURM on Basic Services to the Urban Poor (BSUP) and Rajiv Awas Yojana. State level analysis reveals that performances of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Delhi and Kerala are satisfactory in terms of number of dwelling units constructed under the BSUP of JNNURM. Alarmingly, Jharkhand, Bihar, Rajasthan, Goa, Uttrakhand, Arunachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh performed badly. Serious intervention is needed in these states. Rajiv Awas Yojana was launched with the main objective of making Indian cities ‘slum free’. Lack of clear road map for its time - bound implementation puts a question mark on its success.

T o make use of the natural effect to create a high efficiency process cycle for the tesla turbine , this turbine is not like a conventional turbine which in turn works with a different principle called “boundary layer effect”, the whole system will be insulated in except certain parts so dissipative effects are reduced. We create high efficient process cycle we just eliminated the condenser as a separate unit a nd added it with the reservoir and it will be assisted by a heat sensor . In this cycle is a combination steam and water is mixed in certain ratio and in temperature that it can be recollected as same water and steam after some work done in turbine with redu ction in temperature . Whereas other than any turbine this turbine will work with mixed fluid so the wet steam is not at all a problem for the working of the turbine, it works with a centripetal flow of fluid through it. In this cycle heat input will maximu m at starting after some point it reduces to some folds and remains constant .

SRJIS/BIMONTHLY/ AN UPAMA MALIK ( 8 97 - 907 ) OCT - NOV , 2014 , VOL - I, ISSUE - VI. www. srjis .com Page 897 THEORIES OF PUNISHMENT IN THE ETHICS OF PHILOSOPHY Anupam Mallik , Assistant professor , Department of Philosophy , Ramkrishna Ma h avidyalaya , Kailashahar,Tripura, India. Theories of Punishment are a controversial and frequent ly debated topic. It is needless to mention that satisfactory justification and practical application of theories of punishment is one of the most important and complex problems in ethics . But till nowadays this problem remains unresolved although efforts have been going on to have a generally accepted solution to this problem. So it is a time that we must prepare ourselves for the change by changing and improving the understanding of morals value systems in general and the nature of human mind and societ y in context of the crime, criminal, penalty e.g., to take first step towards an acceptable perspective on these important issues and to take the further step s towards the beginning of a new human civilization . Punishment can be used as a method of reducin g the incidence of criminal behavior either by deterring the potential offenders or by preventing them from repeating the offence or by reforming them into law - abiding citizens. Theories of punishment, contain generally policies regarding theories of punis hment namely: Retributive ( It makes criminals suffer for what they have done wrong ), Deterrent ( The aim of punishment is to stop people from committing crimes ), and Reformative ( The object of punishment should be the reform of the offender ). The subj ect has been discussed by a number of philosophers - A. Macdonald, Michel Foucault, I. Ehrlich, Friedrich Nietzsche, I. Kant, A. Posner Richard, C. D. Broad, T. Hobbes, R.M. Bohm, H.L. A. Hart, Hugo Adam Bedu, Jeremy Bentham and many others .

Marriage is a sacred institution which binds both the woman and man in a pious relation. It giv es this relation meaning. Marriage with in the same caste means that both the boy and girl belong to the same community. Inter - caste marriage means girl and boy are from different castes where one member belongs to lower caste. The caste, creed and cultur e are the three most important elements, which are kept on the high priority list. For years, Indians had an orthodox mindset. They could not imagine inter - caste marriages. They had a conception that marriages are only possible in the same caste and comm unity. Talking about inter - caste and inter - religious marriages in India was a taboo for most people in the earlier days. However, with time, things changed and inter - caste marriage also became a part of the society. Inter - caste marriages are regarded as the most important social customs and hence, were viewed as the best means to remove the barrier of caste - system. When God created men and women, he has not assigned any caste on them. So, how can the human beings divide God s created world into castes and communities. Customs and religious practised were so strict and merciless that even sometimes the boy and girl were hacked to death by their parents due to the pressures from the society. However, with time things changed and inter - caste marriage als o became a part of the society. Today, in Indian society, though we can see inter - caste marriages, but mostly it is the part of the city culture. The rural parts of the country still have a long way to go

Four important areas are identified for achieving the goal of Education for all. These are Access to Education, Enrolment of children, and Retention of the enrolled children As well as in academic achievement. The Mid Day Meal scheme is an effort to achieve and facilitate these objectives. Various schemes were implemented in the primary education sector by the Government to reach the disadvantaged population. Access to primary education was universalized through flagship programmes of Govt., like Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, however, despite this; a few children are still deprived of Primary Education due to inability of their parents to send them to schools because of their poor economical status. For, these parents, sending their children to school means not only incurring extra financial burden but also depriving them of some money which their children would have earned otherwise by doing labour. That being the attitude of these economically backward parents, one may, perhaps, to motivate the parents and children was to bring their children to school by providing food and nutritional needs. Apart from enhancing school attendance and child nutrition, mid-day meal has an important social value and foster equality. Children learn to sit together and share a common meal; one can expect some erosion of caste prejudices, class inequality and reduce gender gap. On November 28, 2001, the Supreme Court of India gave direction making it mandatory to implement mid-day meal scheme in all states by providing every child in all Government and Government assisted schools with a prepared meal containing at least 300 Kcal of energy and eight to 12 g of protein each day, for a minimum of 200 days (Anon., 2006a and Anon., 2009). But as per the proceedings of budget 2008-09, the nutritional norms prescribed under the scheme for primary school children (I-V standard) is 450Kcal of energy and 12 g of protein and upper primary children (VI-VIII standard) is 700 Kcal of energy and 20 g of protein per day (Anon., 2009). The Government of Karnataka has initiated many programmes and policies towards achieving Universalisation of Elementary Education. The concept being free supply of text books and uniforms, awarding scholarships and supply of mid-day meal through Akshara Dasoha programme for enhancing enrolment, retention and ensuring eight years of quality education to each child (Anon., 2008). Akshara Dasoha programme was first implemented during the year 2002-03 in Raichur, Koppal, Gulbarga, Bidar, Bellary, Bijapur and Bagalkot which were the pioneering seven north-eastern districts of Karnataka. All children studying in the Government primary schools from class I to V standard were the beneficiaries. From July 1st 2003 the programme was extended to all other Government primary schools in the state. Later in 2007-08 the scheme was further extended to high schools
