Nature always attracted all of us. Artists and poets being especially sensitized and absorbed by it have created beautiful forms of designs inspired by nature since the antiquity.In this research, I have tried to find out the origin of vegetal motifs. What had been the situations which triggered early artists to ‘recreate’ natural forms in various mediums, forms, and techniques? Since this is anabundantarea to be taken for research, I tried to focus upon art practices within the Indian subcontinent only;right from Harappan culture which is the oldest urban civilization of the world to the age of Vedas; from the rise of Buddhism and Jainism to the mighty Mauryans, Satvahanas to the great Stupa of Sanchi. This research proves that vegetal motifs developed from simple organic forms to stylized motifs in the early phase of Indian art. May be this analytical research prepares a prolific ground for further researches that can be undertaken consecutively. Keywords- Nature, vegetal motifs, rosette,aniconic,stylization.

Regional Planning is an important branch of Geography and it includes a sequence of actions which are designed to solve problems in future. The diverse arena under the purview of planning offers the geographers with endless research motives and options, urban development being one of them. Imposition of urban functions causes sprawl of the city engulfing rural settlements- the crux of urban regional development. In this process of city growth, fringe area development is a focal point of research for the planners. Rajpur-Sonarpur is designated as a peri-urban fringe location with a character contrast of dominating urban influences and persisting rural attributes leading to growth variations. Here an attempt has been made to analyze the glaring disparities of Rajpur-Sonarpur municipality (selected ward wise study) in terms of development parameters. This is a humble step to identify and evaluate the pressing threats and opportunities in order to remedy lopsided development. Keywords- urbanization, sprawl, fringe area, disparity, development.

When Rana Pratap took over as the Maharana (King) of Mewar, the political scene in India was not stable. Mughal emperor Akbar was in control of Chittor, the ancient capital of Mewar but he wanted to occupy whole of Mewar. His dream of whole of the India under the Mughal dynasty required Mewar to be under him. On the other hand Pratap, as a matter of self respect, wished Chittor to be his capital of ancestors. By 1573 Akbar realised that Pratap would never accept his supremacy over Mewar. The emperor Akbar was therefore keen to strike a peace deal with Pratap singh and historians believe that Akbar sent six delegations for the same. The first three missions were led by Jalal Khan Qurchi, the fourth by Raja Man Singh, the fifth by Raja Bhagwan Das, and the sixth by Raja Todar Mal. The fifth mission of Bhagwan Das was first fruitful in that the Rana Pratap agreed to put on a robe presented by Akbar and he sent his son Amar Singh to the Mughal court, but later on Maharana Pratap rejected all the missions, the principal reason of rejection was that, the Maharana was not prepared to compromise the independence, integrity and sovereignty of Mewar. It is also said that the Mewar Rajputs castigated Man Singh of Amber, who himself was a Rajput general, for being a member of Mughal army, who headed the fourth delegation that the emperor sent to Mewar. All his efforts for a peaceful solution were unfruitful; Akbar decided that he would not be able to waver Pratap from his resolve. Then he contemplated taking on the enemy through an armed conflict. Akbar planned a complete destruction of Mewar and Maharana Pratap. In order to take Mewar, Akbar won all the Rajput rulers barring Pratap Singh. In return of safety and protection of their subjects and the rulers themselves, all the Rajput rulers promised loyalty and support to the Emperor Akbar in case of a war with Pratap. Most of the Rajput rulers were all praise for Pratap , but they did not express their feelings in open for fear of the Emperor Akbar and the Emperor was also aware the same, Akbar also tried to win the hearts of the most important people of Chittor for the balance of power. After a detailed planning and meticulous implementation, Akbar blockaded Mewar from its traditional allies in 1573. He appointed and nominated Kunwar Sagar Singh, a younger brother of Pratap singh to head Mewar after the overthrow of Pratap Singh. This move of Akbar backfired because Sagar committed suicide in the Mughal court, as he didn’t want to be called a traitor. Akbar had to bear with another jolt as another younger brother of Pratap Singh, who was a general with the Mughal army, warned his brother of the dangers posed by Akbar. Maharana Pratap on the other hand himself and his subjects to defend the sovereignty of Mewar.

The present paper discusses the effect of socio-constructivist approach of teaching on responsible environmental behaviour in relation to intelligence on the topics related to ecology for VII class curriculum. Teaching strategies using social constructivism as a referent include teaching in contexts that might be personally meaningful to students, negotiating taken-as-shared meanings with students, class discussion, small-group collaboration, and valuing meaningful activity over correct answers. This takes into account the social nature of both the local processes in collaborative learning and in the discussion of wider social collaboration in a given subject, such as science. The study employed an experimental method with pre- test – post -test design. Instructional material based on socio-constructivist based approach was prepared by investigator on the topics related to ecology from the prescribed VII class science text book. Coloured Progressive Matrics (1995) by Raven, Court and Raven was used to classify students into high, average and low Intelligent groups. The final sample consisted of 120 VII class students, 60 of which were in treatment group and 60 were in control group. Responsible environmental behaviour test was developed by the investigator to find out the responsible behaviour of students towards environment before and after the implementation of socio-constructivist based instructional material. The data was statistically analyzed using 2x3 ANOVA and it was concluded that group taught through socio-constructivist approach develop significantly better Responsible environmental behaviour than the group taught through Traditional Teaching Approach.

Joseph Conrad has been an eminent author of the modern times and his colonial writings do present a critique of the hypocritical nature of European imperialism. Many of his works are highly impressionistic in nature because of their graphic, physical representations of not only the physical landscapes of the colonized world but also the cultural ethos of the different people of those lands. But at the same time, it must not be forgotten that Conrad does probe into the inmost recesses of the characters of his works and make a thorough investigation into the abounding complexities of the human mind. In other words, Conrad‘s works are also psychological treatises where one can trace his insightful probe into the various complex processes that underlie the intricate workings of the human mind. Based on these precepts, this article intends to present a totalitarian picture of Conrad‘s oeuvre with special emphasis to his writing style, the themes and concerns of his works, the broader messages and undertones that his works exude. On the whole, this article intends to not only situate Conrad not only in his immediate context of colonialism and globalization, but also intends to establish him as a keen analyst of human mind. .

The security in traveling is primary concern for everyone. In this project we have to discuss about the Bus Monitoring and Controlling System using GSM module. The road accident will be increased due to the bad construction of road and the careless driving. Why these problems are occurred? Because sometimes drivers are not used seat belt, driver removes his hand from the staring during driving, not maintain safe distance from the other vehicle. To remove such problems we have used number of sensors. Seat belt sensor and Touch sensor are fitted with the staring. And Sharp IR sensor is used to maintain the safe distance between two vehicles. Another problem are also occurred during the travelling. The temperature of bus engine will be increased in great extent and driver could not worry about the fuel level. To overcome this problems we can used sensors like temperature sensor and fuel level detector. What is the need of these sensors in today’s vehicle? Without this sensor vehicles are able to run from one place to other. Then why the need of use of sensors arises? The answer is to reduce the number of accidents that happen due to human error or technical error in the vehicle. The threshold of all sensors is set to their respective range. If it gets cross the set range then buzzer will be activated and the message is displayed on the LCD screen in the bus. And message will send to the number which is saved in the GSM module. Index Terms: Bus Monitoring and controlling, various sensors, GSM.

The overwhelming desire to have a Child is the product of a deep-seated, instinctive and evolutionary urge to perpetuate the species and pass on the genetic material to another. It is this archetypal desire, embedded in our collective unconscious, which often spurs Human Beings to have children at any cost, come what may. “It is this irrepressible drive that propels man to go to any extent to propagate his genes,” says Nirja Chawla, a Gynecologist, adding, “Motherhood is important for completion of self.” 1 To this biological drive add the socially conditioned expectations of the role and function of a woman and you know this is the reason why so many people flock to fertility clinics in the region. And it is a blatant exploitation of this desire to have Children that makes millionaires out of Gynecologists in the business who laughs all the way to the bank. Medicine has made some remarkable advances in the field of Reproductive Technology. The term Reproductive Technology refers to various medical procedures that are designed to alleviate infertility, or the inability of a couple to produce a child of their own. These include Artificial insemination, In-Vitro Fertilization or “Test-tube” Babies, and Surrogate Motherhood. When successful, these technologies are the miracle of life for couples who have often spent years trying to have a child, and who have exhausted all other avenues for conceiving a child of their own. My research Paper throws light on the Genesis of this neo reproductive technology known as Rented womb or Surrogacy.

Since time immemorial, most cultures have hypothesized in the possibility of extra-terrestrial life. The fact that the supernatural or intelligent life has existed in the cosmos has reignited a fresh debate, which attracts serious discussion by professional scientists and scholars. Even the authors and film producers today are increasingly counting on the theme of fascinating encounters with aliens in their creatively imaginative ventures. In many popular depictions, during apocalypse, there is a common belief that aliens have flown down to earth as peace messiahs to prevent extermination of living species. Humanitarians as well as film makers on science fiction too have reaffirmed the notion that while humans have aggressively destroyed civilizations, the peace-loving extra-terrestrials have been depicted in various genres as attempting to come to our rescue. This paper highlights two themes underlying the significance of science fiction in promoting peace for mankind: (1) to explore whether science fiction cinema/genre can be effective in propagating conflict resolution, peace and progress on a universal level and (2) to assess the crucial role of contemporary authors and movie-makers who experiment with the genre of Ufology with the hope of bringing about a new peace- policy on planet earth. Key words: science genre, science fiction, peace, humanoids, aliens etc.

he paper represents an application of ‘5S’ technology in one of the MNC M e n o n P i s t o n Ltd., plant 2, Kupwad, Sangli, Maharashtra which is the leading manufacturer of Pistons and Piston Pins in the world. ‘5S’ in simple terms is a Japanese technique consisting of five ‘S’ terms namely Seiri (sorting), Seiton (set in order), Seiso (shine), Seiketsu (standardize) and Shitsuke (sustain) having a deep sense for managing the work place. The aim of the implementation of ‘5S’ in the organization is to organize a work space for efficiency and effectiveness by identifying and storing the items used, maintaining the area and items, and sustaining the new order. The decision-making process usually comes from a dialogue about standardization, which builds understanding among employees of how they should do the work. The need for the implementation of ‘5S’ in the organization came into existence due to unorganized work-stations, uncomfortable working environment and the excessive wastes in the company. Hence to get rid-off of the above factors, there was an urgent need for the successive implementation of ‘5S’ in the organization. The effective following on ‘5S’ in the organization by the various official staff and workman’s strengthens the work ethic between them resulting in the motivation towards teamwork. The successive implementation of ‘5S’ transformed the organization drastically, right from the working conditions to the employees working satisfaction. Keywords: 5S, Workplace Management

Bhutan, officially the Kingdom of Bhutan, is a landlocked country in South Asia, located at the eastern end of the Himalayas and bordered to the south, east and west by the Democratic Republic of India and to the north by the People's Republic of China. Bhutan is separated from the nearby country of Nepal to the west by the Indian state of Sikkim, and from Bangladesh to the south by the Indian states of Assam and West Bengal. Bhutan existed as a patchwork of minor warring fiefdoms until the early 17th century, when the area was unified by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, who fled religious persecution in Tibet and cultivated a separate Bhutanese identity. In the early 20th century, Bhutan came into contact with the British Empire, after which Bhutan continued strong bilateral relations with India upon its independence.

This action research focuses on the effect of brain based strategy on the academic achievement of the in-service and pre-service teachers. During the plenary session for the inservice teachers, initially I found majority of learners were uncomfortable in handling the statistical technique for the item analysis for the achievement test. To solve this problem , I did an action research by applying a brain storming technique on the learners. I found that the brain based strategy has been very effective foe the in-service teachers. Here I perceived that the learners shows great enthusiasm in the topic and at last they succeed in getting their self assessment. Similar technique I used on Pre-service teachers ( regular B.Ed students) by asking them to take an example whatever you gained during your teaching practices. I found that pre-service teachers are less efficient in handling the data as compared to the in-service teachers, may be because they have less experienced than in-service teachers . Keywords:-Brain storming technique, Pre-service teachers, In-service teachers.

Internet is becoming influential in our lives. Internet is a powerful tool supplementing the classical ways of learning and studying. The learning process of a student is multifaceted and includes many processes. One of the processes related to learning activities is Self-regulation. In the process of self regulated learning, social support from family, teachers and peers can serve an important role. An individual gets involved in many activities on Internet consuming more time; hence an individual spends less time interacting with others in real life conditions resulting in Alienation. In the present study, the investigators attempt to find out the relationship, if any, between the Internet usage and social Support, Self Regulated Learning and Alienation. For this purpose 400 senior secondary students of Haryana were taken as a sample using multistage random sampling. Motivated strategies for learning questionnaire by Pintrich, Smith, Gracia and McKeachie, Perceived Social Support Scale developed by the investigators and Alienation Scale by Dr. R.V.

Millennium development goals highlight the priority accorded to gender Equality and women’s right as core issues of development. Achieving goals relating to Gender equality and gender empowerment are critical for achieving all the major MDGs. However, South Asian countries and India are societies with strong patriarchal norms and high degree of son preference. Consequently, gender discriminations are pervasive. This has been a long recognised problem with resurgence of research interest on the subject. Gender discrimination and continued gender gap have been the most persistent social problems facing the global community. These problems have received considerable attention particularly during the past three decades through a series of initiatives at international, regional and national levels. This process was formally initiated through the programmes centring on the international women’s year in 1975. In this particular study the investigator has tried to “the study on gender bias among working and non-working women”. The sample of the study comprises of 300 working and non-working women. Gender bias scale developed by investigator Department of education A.M.U, was used for data collection, t-test when applied on data revealed that the result is 0.5 level of confidence

Front flip (forward tuck somersault) is one of the fundamental skills taught in the early stage in the competitive Gymnastics career of a Gymnast. The purpose of this study was to investigate kinematic comparison of two different techniques (Russian technique V/s Japanese techniques) of front flip tuck on floor in men’s artistic gymnastics. A total of five (n = 5) best male gymnasts of 18 to 23 years old from L.N.I.P.E., Gwalior (M.P.); who had mastery on both the techniques were selected for the present study as subjects. To acquire kinematical data, a digital Nikon D-3100 video recording camera with a frame rate of 30 frames per second, were used during the execution by placing it left side of the subjects(gymnasts) and perpendicular to the sagittal plane. From the video, the photograph of selected three phases (i.e. take off phase, flight phase and landing phase) were obtained by using snipping tool software. The digitization of the photographic sequence of selected phases was done with the help of kinovea software and the selected angular kinematic variables were obtained at take off phase, flight phase and landing phase. The centre of gravity of required phases was located by using segmentation method (Hey, 1993). The paired t-test was used for the kinematic comparison of both the techniques of front flip tuck at each phase. The level of significance

Air pollution-smoke and other airborne particles-has accompanied the growth of industrialization since its early days. However, in the last two decades overwhelming evidence has begun to accumulate that polluted air is a serious threat to the quality of life, even to man's continued existence itself; projections of economic growth and population expansion to the year 2000 pose the threat of a vast increase in the already high level of air pollution unless effective measures are taken to control it. It is in recognition of both the present and potential costs to society that increased importance has been given to the devising of means to detect, control and abate air pollution. It is also becoming clear that because of the damage to life and property, expenditures on air pollution control and abatement are as essential to society, if not to individual polluters, as investment in education, urban renewal, and other investment in social capital.The present study was aims to investigate the concept of environmental awareness in air pollution of under graduate college students of Purulia District. Concept and attitude of environment awareness in air pollution measure by questionnaire was used to assess their environment awareness. The data were analyzed with the help of statistical techniques like mean, Standard deviation and t-value. The result of Analysis shows that, there exists significant difference in air pollution awareness among college student. Science students are more aware than commerce and arts students in air
