On November 8, 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced demonetization of Rs. 500 and Rs.1000 banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi Series. This is required to tackle counterfeiting Indian banknotes, to effectively nullify black money hoarded in cash and curb funding of terrorism with fake notes. The present study examines the impact of demonetization decision on gold prices in India. It is studied by comparing the data of gold prices for 30 days, 15 days and 7 days before and after November 8, 2016. The data consists of daily prices of gold obtained from World Gold Council database. Paired t-test and wilcoxon signed ranks test are used to study the statistical significance of the results. It has been found that demonetization decision has significantly reduced the price of gold in India. It may be due to the reason that after demonetization announcement, income tax department tightened the noose around the jewellers as people rushed to convert their old currency notes (Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000) into precious metal gold. It resulted in dropping the price of gold in India in short run.

1200 cuttings made from the trees of Plum cv. Kala Amritsariwere planted in 60 beds of size 1×1m., with 20 cuttings on each bed. Uniform sized 40 cuttings per replication were treated with ten treatments of IBA and PHB growth regulators by slow dip (24 hours) and quick dip (2 minutes) method before planting along with control.Results showed that IBA@2000ppm quick dip was found to be significant in improving the shoot and root characters in cuttings with maximum shoot length (16.87cm), average shoot girth (0.46cm), shoot number (4.22), fresh weight of shoots (6.82), dry weight of shoots (1.43g), leaf number (154.28), average leaf area (305.79 cm2 ), root number (44.90), average root length (10.88cm), length of longest root (13.5cm), fresh weight of roots (1.52g), dry weight of roots (1.09). While the cuttings treated with slow dip of IBA 150 ppm exhibited significant survival percentage (81.00%), percentage of rooted cuttings (74.33%) and sprouting percent (75.17%).

In this digital era, academic institutions which are universities and colleges have increasingly recognized the importance of institutional repository. An institutional repository in latest concept for collecting, managing, preserving and disseminating scholarly works created in a digital form by staff and students in individual universities and colleges. The repositories also serve as a comprehensive publications database of the parent organization, which in turn facilitate better management of research knowledge better visibility and wider access, rapid communication of research, long term preservation. In this article mainly discussed on definition, benefits, challenges, Open Source Software and the different types of institutional repositories.

Assured water is one of the important inputs for good harvest which is sine qua non for Indian farmers and if water is assured then not only they will sustain but country can prosper, as we all know Gandhiji long ago mentioned, “India does not live in its towns but in its villages” (mkgandhi.org/gandhi on villages).In view of this, we have to focus on development of farmers as they have been providing us food by doing hard labour in all the seasons.Keeping in mind of these, inAhmednagar district of Maharashtra at Bahirwadi village ofAhmednagarblock by constructing awatershedin2001, many farmers as well as 400 acres of agricultural land have been benefitted. Of course rainfall (normal in the area is 500 millimetres) should be normal.

Jayanti Dalal was an eminent playwright, critic and prose writer of Gujarati literature. His sense of employing experiments with form and techniques made him somewhat distinct writer. All his literary works are thought-provoking manifesting unique characteristics through analysis of human perspective. The story The Darkness Descends (Jagmohane Shu Jovu?) focuses on the feelings of Jagmohan, the hero of the story who loses his eyesight. The writer seems to reveal the truth that one should live with rational honesty. He aims at understating the human mind. The writer constructs a story through psychological truth, which doesn’t seem mere a fancy tale. The writer has conducted an experiment of a ‘story within story’ by using comparable Japanese story. The writer applies here his sense of experimentation with a view to comparing and analyzing the self with the others.

(ii) Mean scores of Achievement of Research Skill in Educational Research of the modular group and the electure group by equating the groups on Pre-Achievement of Research Skill in Educational Research. (iii) Mean scores of Overall Research Achievement in Educational Research of the modular group and the e-lecture group by equating the groups on Overall Pre-Research Achievement in Educational Research. The present study was Quasi- experimental in nature, designed on the lines of NonEquivalent Control Group Design by Campbell and Stanley. The sample comprised of 130 students, out of these 91 were P.G. students and 39 were post P.G. students studying in different Institutions of Jammu and Kashmir.

This article presents an overview of co-operative learning, an instructional technique developed to enhance academic achievement through social and inter-personal skill development. Co-operative learning plays a paramount role in education, as it is one of the most widespread and fruitful areas of research and theory. Over the past several decades, it has attracted growing interest due to the vast amount of research conducted in education context as well as in social and clinical settings. The central tenet of co-operative learning is that through interaction and dialogue with others around a topic of study, achievement of students increases, attitude towards learning improves, students learn and retain more information than through other more intra-personal, instructional methodologies (i.e. teacher directed/lecture style formats). Research points to all of these positive effects, improved inter-group, inter-ethnic, gender co-operation as well as increased self-esteem and confidence for student population.

Teacher development has emerged over the last decade as a recognised area of study. Teacher development means, in terms of teachers’ own understandings of how they go on learning and becoming better at what they are doing. Teacher development is a process, not an event. It involves change over time and is achieved in stages. The stages are related to teachers’ experience gained in instructional and management practices over their career. Teachers must understand what it is to be an effective 21st century teacher with the abilities to develop the necessary skills. Effective educational leadership helps to make a difference in improving learning. Leadership is for everyone and as a result everyone is empowered to learn. Teachers are empowered to inquire into their practice to solve learning and teaching problems. As educational leaders, classroom teachers, students and parents will agree, 21st century teaching carries with a complicated mix of challenges and opportunities. Challenges include the issues of teacher turnover, accountability, changing student populations and student expectations, increasing budget pressures, and intense demand to build students’ 21st century skills. Thus, the present paper attempts to analyse Teacher development: Towards educational leadership in 21st century.
