The word Artha (Meaning) has a very important role in the Nyaya philosophy. In Nyay Philosphy the word Artha used in various senses like, padartha, indriyartha, prameyartha, abhidheyartha, vachyrtha etc. We can see In Nyaya sutra of Maharsi Goutama that Goutama has admited “artha” as a separate prameya. The variety of usages of Artha in nyay Philosophy does not denote different types. We can see in nabya-Nyaya Philosophy there is an elaborative discussion to analyse the nature of Pada (Word or Term) and Artha. In this paper I would like to highlight that, how a term denotes a meaning as considered by the Naby-Nyayaikas. I have tried to show nvya-nyaya position rgading the different aspects of the term ‘Artha’ as denoted by the Pada.

Consequently, an increasing number of corporate houses have taken steps to assess, monitor and report on their environmental performance. Environmental communication is concerned at a basic level with the way that human beings create their own signs and continually encounter, interpret and use the signs created by others. The context as well as time is crucial for understanding and managing the effects of environmental communication among stakeholders. The ultimate goal of environmental communication is to protect the environment by enlisting active participation of various stakeholders of environment protection, management and development. The degree of coverage of environmental management systems varies from company to company. These companies use various channels and tools to communicate their environmental performance and to manage their environmental impacts. An increasing number of firms publish information on the environmental impact of their activities. Corporate Sustainability Communication is a proactive, long-term, future oriented plan for balancing financial, social, and environmental issues with a specific, sustainable plan. Organizations are required to build and enhance the corporate reputation through portrayal of environment friendly products and services rendered by them. Scholars have observed significant association between business performance and sustainable communication. A positive relationship between environmental practices and business performance supports a concept of CSC that simultaneously encompasses all three pillars: economic, environmental, and social issues.

Education policy and society are interdisciplinary programmed, drawing on sociology, political science, economics and history to address the challenges of education policy and provision. Educational policy on studies and processes in relation to issues of race, social class, gender and changes such as globalization and new managerialism are very important. Educational institutions are often the heart of a community and are central agents of socialization. Schools can be an important channel through which to promote social cohesion and address community issues of inter-cultural, inter-religious or inter-ethnic relations. The education system is also a public institution and, as such, can create open and participatory processes through which the community can exert influence. If education policy is not sensitive to the issue of social cohesion and does not incorporate the perspectives of key stakeholders, it can be divisive and alienating, contributing to injustice and violence. In the contemporary world, the deepening ethnic background of nations, diversity within societies and an increasing percentage of people who speak a second language have made multicultural education crucial and important. Multicultural education is seen as an opportunity to improve race relations and to help all students gain the knowledge, attitudes and skills which could be possible through citizenship and democratic education. Education policies are formulated by the legislature organ of government which belongs to every section of society from entire nation. It is the legislature which provides legal sanction in bringing in reforms in the education sector. Education policies are the fruit of multi-culture provision. It is in this context that there is a need of a proper mechanism which provides balance in bringing equality and uniform pattern of education in a nation. Education and democracy could not be separated as both of them are directly or indirectly interdependent. As conclusion it could be said that education policies and its impact on society exists directly as all the differences in societies such as race, gender, sex, languages etc. could be maintained from balanced perspective with the help of education.
