A women's role has changed tremendously and is making its greatest impact in our society today. Many years ago, women's contribution to society was limited and controlled by men. Women are playing a major role in many important areas. Women's role has changed at an accelerating rate and has part in areas such as Politics, Professional Training Jobs, Medicine, Business and Law. Formerly they were not part of any political matter, but they have advanced in many aspects. Women in India face lots of social issues and problems all through the life which are big struggle for them right from their beginning of life. Female infanticide is the most common practice of killing girl child in mother’s womb in the Indian society. Women in India are considered as burden for their parents and husbands as they think that women are here only to consume money whole life without earning a little bit. Another common problem for women is sex discrimination which they face from their birth and continues till their death. Illiteracy, lack of proper education, responsible for household works, rape, sexual harassment at workplace, etc are some big issues for the women in India. This paper attempts to analyze the changing status of women in modern India and is based purely on secondary data. The analysis shows that although women in modern India have made a considerable progress in every sphere of life, they still have to struggle against deep-rooted patriarchal mentality of society. The Indian constitution grants women equal rights as that of men but they were never been effective to bring a remarkable change in the status of modern women. Equal footing with men is still an illusion for females because male dominance still prevails in the society.

Parenting style has been considered as one of the primary sources of socilization for children. However, researchers have pointed that the impact of parenting is not independent of the sociocultural context of children. Indian middle class families having shared some sort of socio-cultural uniqueness are the focus of the present study to examine their nature of parenting and its consequences on the socilization of their children. The participants were 480 highschool students including equal number of boys and girls, who were randomly selected from the middle class families of Odisha. They were asked to respond to a standardized parenting style questionnaire relating to their perception of parents’ behavior towards them and also to a questionnaire which measures their socilization skills. The results pointed out 27% of parents preferred authoritarian parenting, 22% preferred permissive parenting, 45% preferred authorative parenting, and only 5% were uninvolved parents. Authoritative and permissive parenting styles were found better in promoting adequate socilization skills except taking of responsibility. Authoritarian and uninvolved parenting were found to be negatively influencing the development of socilization skills. Gender preferences were also found in the parenting of both parents, father being more permissive for girls, and mother being more permissive for boys.

Creative children are assets to the society. Development and progress in various fields depend on these children. Our educational institutions should aim at the development of creativity in children to prepare them for different walks of life. No nation whether big or small can afford to overlook the importance of creativity in this age of competition. Who survives this competition largely depends upon its creative minds. The creative acts affect enormously not only scientific and technological progress, but society in general. Nations who learn best how to identify, encourage and develop the creative potential in their people may find themselves in a very advantageous position as compared to the nations that are failed to identify and develop the talented mind. The present study is an attempt to study the Creative abilities and Academic Achievement of Science and Social Science Students of Kashmir University. Baqer Mehdi`s Non-Verbal Test of Creative Thinking was employed to assess the Creative Abilities of the University Students whereas marks obtained by the University Students at P.G. 1st Semester and P.G. 2nd Semester was considered as their academic achievement. Mean, S.D and t-test were used to analyse the data. Significant difference was found between Social Science and Science University Students on overall scores of creativity as well as on Academic Achievement.

Women’s empowerment is a process in which women challenge the existing norms and culture in efforts to promote their well being. This paper analyses the significance and effect of programmes by Self Help Groups (SHG s) by comparing empowerment levels before and after three years of programme intervention based on a survey conducted the District Kangra, Himachal Pradesh . The SHG s in Kangra operate under Mahila Mandal , a state government programme funded by the Himachal Pradesh Corporation for Development of Women (HPCDW). The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) empowerment indices are used to study levels of empowerment. Quantitative methodology is adopted using the self-reporting method. A three-stage stratified random sampling method was employed for data collection. The first stage involved the NGO s, the second stage focused on the SHG s and the third stage dealt with SHG members on the basis of demographics. Average and percentage were calculated to draw meaningful interpretation on the Empowerment Indicators using IFAD Model. Friedman test and Chi Square test followed by a DMRT test were used to measure the relationship between observed variables. The study revealed that levels of self-confidence and self-esteem of women increased indicating positive changes.

Determination of trace elements is important and required for many applications. In nuclear technology, for example, the chemical characterisation of different materials (nuclear fuels, reactor materials, nuclear waste streams etc.) with respect to trace elements is a necessary quality assurance step. Critical trace constituents like boron which has high thermal neutron absorption cross section, need to be determined with the highest possible precision and accuracy for a rigorous quality assurance. Even though there are analytical techniques available for this purpose, but there is enough scope for further improvement in the existing methodology either in terms of extending their applicability or eliminating known limitations. In addition, many of the sophisticated instrumental analytical techniques require matrix matched reference materials for validation and quantification of analytical results. Many times these matrix-matched reference materials are not either available or accessible. The only recourse is to validate the analytical results by as many techniques based on independent theoretical principles as possible.

We all are continuously talking about the freedom of women and her developing status in the present society. But by analysing the daily cases covered by the media proved that the position of women in this era of globalization is still pathetic. Still women are brutally raped, harassed and murdered by the people. We have various examples which prove the pathetic condition of women. In 2012, Nirbhaya was brutally gang raped in a moving bus in Delhi. According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) 2013 annual report, 24,923 rape cases were reported across India in 2012. In August 2013, a 22-year-old photojournalist, who was interning with an English-language magazine in Mumbai, was gang-raped by five persons, including a juvenile, when she had gone to the deserted Shakti Mills compound, near Mahalaxmi in South Mumbai, with a male colleague on an assignment. On 14 March 2015, a 71-year-old nun was allegedly gang-raped in Ranaghat, West Bengal by intruders at Convent of Jesus and Mary. NCRB said that 34,651 rapes were reported in 2015 across the country. On 29 March 2016, the corpse of Delta Meghwal, a 17 year old Dalit girl, was found in her hostel's water tank. Following the registration of the police case the hostel warden, physical education teacher and principal were arrested by Bikaner police and kept under judicial custody. The Tribune; India’s largest newspaper said that according to the NCRB in 2017, a total of 38,947 cases of rape were registered in the country under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) as well as Section 376 and other related sections of the Indian Penal Code. In june, 2017, a 14-year-old was reported as having been raped by six minors and then thrown from a train. A 19-year-old mother with an eight-month-old baby was gang raped in Gurugram’s Manesar in a shared auto. On May 9,2017; the decomposing body of a woman was found near the Industrial Model of Township in Rohtak. A young girl of eight years was sexually assaulted by her Uncle. Four women were gang-raped on the Jewar-Bulandshahr road, off the Yamuna Expressway. A seven-yearold, who was sleeping next to her mother, was picked up from her house in Amreha Budawan village in UP and raped. A 26-year-old woman from Sikkim was raped by three men in a moving car on the Delhi-Gurgaon border. A 45-year-old man was arrested in Mangaluru's Sasihitlu area of Suratkal on the charge of sexually abusing a minor daughter who later gave birth to a girl child, Police said. In April 2017, a physically challenged minor girl was raped inside the Lord Jagannath Temple, said the police. The incident happened after the girl went inside for “darshan” and the temple was more or less deserted. Only in 2018 there are various cases of rapes registered. An eight-year-old innocent girl was brutally raped for days in kathua, named Asifa. She was sedated, tortured before finally killing her inside a temple. 13-year-old boy allegedly raped a nine-year-old girl at his home in Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh.

Negroes’ racial roots repeatedly create obstacles in their search for identity. Though identity crisis is much debated issue in literature but it carries special implication in the case Native Son and Invisible Man. Mr. Wright exemplifies identity crisis to great extent in Native Son. He explores how identity crisis leads dehumanization and self-destruction for its young Negro protagonist. He said. “Men can starve from a lack of self realization as much as they can from a lack of bread” (Wright, 1). The above remark is applicable for condition of Bigger Thomas in Native Son. Bigger is the protagonist who is possessive of his identity and suffers by thinking of his Negro origin. He is a twenty year’s black uneducated Negro youth craving for his social acceptance in the American society. He is trapped in puzzle where he is considered inferior because he is black. Invisible Man reflects identifiable irony of social identity through painful efforts and experience of re-identification. Mr. Ellison uses the first irony in not naming his character. His protagonist is fatherless and because of his fatherlessness he expects help in the process of re identification. He meets various characters whom he assumes as supportive and fatherly figures. Many of them exploit the protagonist. Dr Bledsoe spoils protagonist’s career as a Negro student. Mr. Norton did nothing for stopping protagonist’s expulsion. The protagonist realizes that Mr. Norton pretends to be liberal but in reality he does not value identity of Negroes. Protagonist’s expectations for liberty from Mr. Norton end with arousing frustration in him. In the next stage protagonist’s confrontation with Vet (madman) shows ironic importance because Vet has victimized by the fake assurance of freedom by Mr. Norton. His insanity suggests ironical implication of broken expectations of Negroes and effects of identity crisis.

Primary education is the first stage of formal education. The main aim of quality education in primary school is to inculcate basic knowledge about reading, writing and arithmetic of the children. It is expected that after the successful completion of the primary school education, a pupil should be able to read, write and solve simple arithmetic problems. For quality improvement, we have to re-think about the ideas and initiatives of primary education which have very crucial motivating effects on the students. Teaching-learning environment and quality of education are so unsatisfactory particularly in government controlled primary schools that teachers of those schools themselves prefer to arrange education for their children in a better run school in private sector. Due to the economic factor they have to enroll their children in government run primary schools where quality is very poor. The elite and rich groups of the society or village enroll their children in private schools where quality is presumed to be far better than the government schools. So, the clients of these public schools are the poorest of the poor, economically and socially down people. So the children belonging the marginal group are deprived from good quality education and as a result they can hardly climb ladder of development.

Health is the extent to which an individual or group is able, on the one hand, to realize aspirations and satisfy needs; and, on the other hand, to change or cope with the environment. Public health attempts to decipher what is going on within communities and determine how best to support their wellness efforts. Nevertheless, this cannot work without their input through decision making in a spirit of partnership. Hence the need to have well trained health workforce with practice experience on promoting as well as facilitating change in the communities. Our concern in this paper is that capacity building through health education and health promotion need to be in line with peoplecentred health principles.

Growing old is a natural phenomenon however attitudes, expectations, biases and myths related to it have their own defining definition for aging. Old age has been associated with positive and negative traits, the associations not only reflect the treatment of the old but also determine how it is being perceived by society. In Nigerian society many social factors such as our personal assumptions, expectations, and fears about growing older influence ageing process. Research reviews indicate that negative age stereotypes are prevalent in the majority of the population and different forms of age discrimination, this paper found that older people with negative beliefs about old age and ageing showed a deterioration of their self-concept over an interval. Some of the myths our society has about aging people include: Senility is a normal part of aging, oldest people are alone and lonely, Old people are more likely to be victims of crime and poverty, Retirees suffer decline in health and early death, oldest people have no interest or capacity for sexual relations, oldest people end up in nursing homes and are less productive than younger workers. New images of ageing should be brought into the mass media and into the cognizance of the general public, showing that older people are in fact a potential societal resource.

This study aim at assessing flood risk factors and mapping areas vulnerable to flood in the study area, using Geo-spatial techniques. The method follows a multi-parametric approach and integrates some of the flood causative factors such as: rainfall distribution, elevation and slope, drainage network and density, land-use/land-cover and soil type. The Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) was used to rank and display potential locations, while the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was employed using pair-wise comparison to compute the priority weights of each factor. The various layers were integrated in weighted overlay tool in ArcGIS to generate the final vulnerability map, representing three levels of estimated flood vulnerability zones (high, moderate and low). The normalized criterion weights were obtained for each factor, and the results shows that, rainfall (34) and slope (31) have the highest influence on flood in the study area.The Consistency Ratio (CR) with an acceptable level of 0.05 was obtained which further validated the strength of the judgement. With ArcGIS, the factor weights from the AHP were incorporated to produce a Geo-hazard map and it showed that areas that are high vulnerable to flood in Suleja constitute about 37%, while moderate and low vulnerable areas constitute about 45% and 18% respectively. Elements at high risk of flood are those found at the extreme northeast, where elevation is very low, southwest where rainfall distribution is high (along the fringes of Tafa LGA and Abuja FCT respectively) and on low lying areas along the depressions. Therefore using the Geo-hazard map as a guide, local councils and other stakeholders can act to prepare for potential floods when the rains come or, better yet, proactively promote an appropriate land-use policy that will minimize threat to lives due to flood.

The present study was carried out to explore the relationship between self-esteem and defense mechanisms used by secondary school students. The aim of the study was to ascertain relationship between self-esteem and five categories of defense mechanisms i. e. turning against object (TAO), projection (PRO), turning against self (TAS), principalisation (PRN) and reversal (REV). The study also aimed at finding differences between the level of self -esteem and defense mechanisms of male and female students. The sample included 77 girls and 73 boys students of secondary level (Total 150) selected randomly from four schools of Amritsar district, Punjab, India. Defense mechanism Inventory by Dr. N. R. Mrinal and Dr. Uma Mrinal was used for data collection of defense mechanism, while Self-Esteem Scale developed by R.N Singh and Ankita Shrivastava was employed to assess the level of self-esteem of students. Data analysis revealed that there is no significant correlation between self-esteem and defense mechanism in female students and overall sample of secondary school students; however a significant correlation was obtained between these two variables in case of male secondary students in TAO, PRO and REV category of defenses. No significant difference in the scores of self-esteem and defense mechanism of male and female students was found.

The purpose of the present study was to find the effect of physical exercise and yogic practice on selected physiological variables. For this purpose, forty five middle aged working women of Faridabad town, New Delhi in the age group of 35 – 40 years were selected. They were divided into three equal groups (n = 15), each group consisted of fifteen subjects, in which group – I underwent physical exercises, group – II underwent yogic practices and group – III acted as control group who did not participate in any special training. The training period for this study was six days in a week for twelve weeks. Prior to and after the training period the subjects were tested for vital capacity and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic). Vital capacity was assessed by using wet-spirometer and blood pressure was assessed by using sphygmomanometer respectively. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant difference if any, among the experimental groups and control group on selected criterion variables separately. Since there were three groups involved in this study the Scheffẻ S test was used as pos-hoc test. It was concluded from the result of the study that the physical exercise and yoga practice has positively altered the criterion variables, such as, vital capacity and blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic).

Skills are necessary for success in this technical world. Skills are the key in stimulating a sustainable development process and make a contribution to facilitating the transition from the informal to formal economy. Skills are also essential to address the opportunities and challenges to meet new demands of changing economies and new technologies in the context of globalization. At present, the scenario of school education is not very inspiring. All the stake holders of education are in a state of despair and indifference. Parents, consumed by the ambition of highly paying lucrative careers for their children, continue to push them for examination success and high grades. As a result, the focus has shifted from learning for better understanding to learning for examination success. The entire process becomes very monotonous and machine like and learning becomes dull and loses its significance. At this juncture, it becomes need of day to pay more and more attention on the development of skills in them.

This paper disseminates information from a dissertation titled “VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOR COMMUNITY REINTEGRATION AND PREVENTION OF RECIDIVISM IN KENYAN PRISONS.” The Kenyan government, in its push to improve on correctional institutions, introduced Vocational Education and Training(VET) in most of the prisons. The roll-out of the programs in these institutions has been successful but several challenges exist in the attainment of its desired goal. VET serves to impart skills to the inmates for the sake of enhancing their integration back into society. One of the issues evaluated in this extraction is adequacy and appropriateness of the resource materials and the impact it has on the inmates’ integration back into the society. Questionnaires were used to collect information with different constructs explicating the resources available for VET delivery among different groups of study interest. Both qualitative data and quantitative data was collected. The data was then cleaned and analyzed using the Predictive Analytical Software (PASW). Descriptive statistics were used to describe demographic characteristics of the samples, frequencies across the different themes, and inference was made using simple linear regression. The regression model was found to be statistically significant with p<0.05. The regression coefficients were also found to be significant with p<0.05. The coefficient of determination was 0.368 and the correlation coefficient score was 0.608 meaning that 60.8% of the total observations were fitted into a linear model. The impact of adequacy and appropriateness was found to increase chances for integration into the society by 0.494 whenever there was a unit change in the appropriateness and adequacy of the resource materials. This paper recommends materials used to disseminate VET need to be assessed against the skill demands in the job market. In terms of the teaching materials, there is need to consider the environment that the inmates live in. Low stress conditions serve to ensure that the trainees are of good mental strength serve which in turn enables them to learn with ease.

The process of liberalization, privatisation and globalization in it’s natural course has led to severe exclusivism of certain sections of society from the mainstream. In fact, the efforts at providing the marginalized groups, like the dalits, with a level-playing field have been reversed by the new global economics. It is a fact that the new market, society will absorb the human resources only on the basis of efficiency criterion. The market phenomenon does not recognize the caste, creed or gender bias. But at the same time, the social norms leading to complete denial of opportunities to certain sections of society for years will inevitably caste their impressions on the process of human resource mobilization in the market age also.

Before independence, different social reformers like raja Ram Mohan Roy, Ishwarchand Vidyasagar, Annie Basant, Mahatma Gandhi etc., tried to empower the women in different ways. But after independence , empowerment of women became a political issue. In Indian constitution the word women empowermwnt refers to. empower Social status, Educational status , Economic status women in India. The Women's Reservation Bill or The Constitution (108th Amendment) Bill, 2008, is a lapsed bill in the Parliament of India which proposed to amend the Constitution of India to reserve 33% of all seats in the Lower house of Parliament of India, the Lok Sabha, and in all state legislative assemblies for women. The seats were proposed to be reserved in rotation and would have been determined by draw of lots in such a way that a seat would be reserved only once in three consecutive general elections. The Rajya Sabha passed the bill on 9 March 2010. However, the Lok Sabhanever voted on the bill.The bill lapsed after the dissolution of the 15th Lok Sabha in 2014. In 1993, a constitutional amendment was passed in India that called for a random one third of village council leader, or pradhan, positions in gram panchayat to be reserved for women. There is a long-term plan to extend this reservation to parliament and legislative assemblies. Its opponents consider this preferential treatment of women in India as discrimination against them in admissions to schools, colleges, and universities.
