A well-functioning housing market influences not only shelter concern, but also workplaces for home-based entrepreneurs. The best housing sectors should enable the adequate provision of shelter at the reasonable cost and favourable schemes across all segments of the population. The customer’s satisfaction is an indicator of the efficiency and growth of the institution. In fact the key of the success of any institution providing customer service is appraised through the qualitative assessment of different parameters. Thus the main objective of the institutions should be to create, cultivate and retain the customers. If the institutions are able to fulfil this objective the residual results like profitability and productivity would automatically follow. The present research is an attempt of the researchers to assess the extent to which current customers are satisfied with the services offered by HDFC, a major institution working in the housing Finance Industry. Key Words: Customer Satisfaction, Average Weighed Score, Likert scale, Bivariate frequency distribution.

Faculty development through orientation programs is often called, has become an increasingly important component of higher education. Whereas it was once assumed that a competent basic or individual who joins education field would naturally be an effective teacher, it is now acknowledged that preparation for teaching is essential. Given the increasing complexity and pressures of education industry, new approaches to teaching and learning, and competing demands on teachers’ time, faculty members require a broad range of teaching and learning strategies that can be used in diverse settings. To help faculty members fulfill their multiple roles, a variety of orientation and faculty development programs and activities have been designed and implemented. These activities include workshops and seminars, short term courses and site visits, fellowships and other longitudinal programs. Many of these activities have been designed to improve teacher effectiveness, across the higher education (e.g. undergraduate and postgraduate education), and they have been offered to professionals at local, regional and national levels. However, despite numerous descriptions of program development and implementation, there is a paucity of research demonstrating the effectiveness of Orientation and Faculty Development interventions. The goal of this paper is to present the results of a systematic review of the impact of faculty development initiatives through orientation programmes on teaching effectiveness in across the higher education. The present paper takes into consideration the views of various elements connected and linked with UGC-Academic Staff Collages from Maharashtra and Gujarat specifically. It is hoped that such a review of existing

This present study is aim to study, mathematical skills of the pupil in relation to their brain dominance. Knowledge in mathematic related field such as numerical knowledge, arithmetic, graphical & geometric sense etc, are important for any individual for their day to day life. Hence the present study intended to study the mathematical skills of the pupil. Since each individual have their own cognitive level, hence the dominant brain be the factor for their academic performances. So this leads to study the mathematical skills of the pupil in relation to their brain dominance. The human brain divided into two hemispheres, the right & left, they do unique function and also having unique characteristics. All these aspects are considered for the study. By random selection method 190 samples were collected from students of standard IX. From the analysis, the major findings were arrived such as, the Left and Right brainers are differed significantly and the Left brainers are good in Total Mathematical Skills also they performed well in the dimensions viz., Arithmetic & Numerical, Statistical, Mathematical Linguistic, Logical skills. In other hand the Right brainers are good in Geometric skills. Considering right & left brainer in both gender (boys and girls) the left brainers are performed better in total mathematical skills. The relationship also shows that the entire dimension positively correlated with total mathematical skill for both right and left brainers.

Differently-abled children in inclusive education differs from previously held notions of ‘integration’ or ‘mainstreaming’ which was largely concerned with disability and special educational needs. It implied learners ‘changing’ or becoming ‘ready for’ or ‘deserving of’ accommodation by the mainstream. The benefits of Inclusive Education have been documented by a number of researchers. Inclusive education is about the child’s right to participate in regular education and the school’s duty to accept the child. Dearth of research in the opinion of school teachers (preschool and primary) in the Indian context served as an impetus for the current research. The objective of the study was to elicit from the school teachers (preschool and primary) the challenges faced and strategies to overcome regarding integrating differently-abled children in their classroom. The sample consisted of consisted of 20 teachers (11 at the preschool and 9 at the primary school level). Research employed a multi-method (face-to-face in-depth interview, observation and examination of records) was design. Results revealed that, challenges and strategies indicated by school teachers were categorized in relation to (i) schools, (ii) teachers, (iii) differently-abled students (children with special needs), (iv) parents of students with special needs, (v) regular /normal children and (vi) parents of regular/normal children. A majority of the participants (60%) stated that lack of infrastructure and facilities, such as classroom size, modified toilets, ramps, etc were major challenges for school, while half of them (50%) said that it was a balancing act of catering to different levels of children, the huge class size, the time restraint, their lack of training for teachers made it difficult to understand the child with disability and lastly dealing with the apprehension of the parents of normal students often leads to isolation, low self-esteem and even depression. A large majority of the participants (75%) indicated that normal/regular children find it difficult to adjust to the child with disability, misunderstanding them, pitying them and sometimes even being afraid of them and their behaviour and needs. Teacher’s judgment about children with disabilities could have a significant influence on children’s emotional, social and intellectual development. Since general educator’s willingness to include students with disabilities in their classroom is critical to the success of inclusion, a number of researchers have stressed the importance of understanding teacher’s attitudes and beliefs towards inclusion.

Sexism in sports is a quite common thing and it has been represented faithfully in cinema. The present paper is a thematic study revealing sexism in sports as shown in two movies of Indian cultural background: ‘Bend It Like Beckhem’ (2002) and ‘Chak De! India’(2007). It underpins the problems faced by the Indian sportswomen of those sports that are traditionally linked to men and also shows how women are discouraged from participating and competing in sports. It also highlights the male view of women as weak and less competent. The protagonists of the movies under discussion suffer sexism at familial, social and professional levels in sports because of their being women. The paper throws light on various types of barriers -such as socio-cultural, biological and psychological- which women players have to cross, in addition to dealing with a bizarre and weird kind of treatment which is never offered to their male counterparts. It depicts how family pressures and restrictions, cultural inhibitions, lack of support and biased attitude of society can ultimately yield to the determination of women players. The paper suggests that sports can be used as an effective tool for women empowerment. Key Words: Sports, Sexism, Cinema, Women, Indian.

The tribes like Gawda, Kunbi and Velip are the first settlers of Goa. It is very difficult to reconstruct their early history as literary sources are not available for the same. The available evidence, particularly archaeological literary and folklore have proved that the tribes are aboriginals of Goa. It is said that the Goan tribes racially belongs to the proto-australoid group. And also the tribal communities are called as Mull Goenkar i.e. indigenous Peoples meaning the original settlers of Goa. During the period of colonialism, the tribal people also suffered from external and internal invader. The tribal population has contributed to the political, economic and social growth of Goa. However, this aspect of Goa’s history is yet to be reconstructed. The present paper deals with the Goan tribes, their institutions and movement. This is based on books, journals, newspaper, and folklore. The data from “Mand” of GKUVD (Gawda, Kunabi, Velip and Dhangar Federation) of Goa is also used here.

It is more rampant, persistent, severe and violent among rural as well as urban population. The severity is definitely high amongst the uneducated, poor, low middle, and even the middle class population perhaps the figure of domestic violence may tend to even be equal in case of educated working class of population. The domestic violence is serious deterrent to development. The Vienna Accord of 1994 and the Beijing Declaration and the Platform for Action (1995) have acknowledged this. The United Nations committee on Convention on Elimination of all forms of discrimination against women (CEDAW) in its General Recommendation No. XII (1989) has recommended that State parties should act to protect women against violence of any kind especially that occurring within the family. The Study on women workers provides information on their wage and working conditions, socio-economic background and life styles. Some are migrants which make them come to Mumbai city for livelihood because of their financial compulsions. Some women work as maid servants, some as construction laborers, some as vendors, sweepers, scavengers etc. They live in slums, in bad living conditions with no sanitation facilities, lack of water and health of these women is more vulnerable showing mortality rates, delivery deaths, ailments, prolonged diseases like Tuberculosis, asthma, skin diseases etc. The Research background is magnifying the details and findings through applied research. This is a problem solving and problem oriented research. It is more like a action research carried out to find solution to the real life problems faced by the unorganized sectors mahila workers. The research appeals to the policy makers to initiate and design policies, strategies, take concrete and implementative actions and have accountability towards such distorting offences disturbing the physical and mental harassment of women. The aim of the study is to highlight the phenomenon of domestic violence which is widely prevalent but has remained invisible. Presently a woman is cruelly physically and mentally harassed by her husband and her in-laws or her husband’s relatives, is an offence under section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code. The present paper is a dedicated attempt to identify and study more analytically the cases of domestic violence committed against the women workers in home based organizations prominently termed as self employed mahila workers. The Methodology manifested in the research study and the data collection is through primary and secondary source. For secondary data books, journals, periodicals, thesis, dissertations and government reports are used and the primary data is collected through Depth interview by Non-Disguised method. This method is adopted to make the respondent feel free and since the issue is more sensitive, there is full chance that the respondent will not want to speak or reveal the facts therefore to have more friendly approach this method is used. The study is a random sample survey of 50 mahila workers but surprising only 20 women were vocal, bold enough to lodge police complaint against their family members especially the husband. The study depicts the scenario of domestic violence prevailing amongst the mahila workers of unorganized sector or self employed women working in Bhaji Poli Kendra run by women entrepreneurs in North East Areas of Mumbai City with reference to Chembur, Govandi and Mankhurd residing women. The Findings are very but natural and abstract that every woman interviewed has been victim of domestic violence. 100% findings reveal that domestic violence in this study has proved correct and rampant rise is measured for more predominant reasons of poor economic conditions. The study implies to Accelerate the economic conditions of women, make them independent and earn their livelihood to establish their empowerment over their family members. The data interpreted in the study shows the mental disturbances and psychological issues of the women. Their strength and cope up strategies to tolerate injustice and harassment. The study implies to provide information of some schemes to women initiated by the government so has to make their economically strong, information of law and NGO who can be approached and contacted for conviction of the crime and in some cases consultation talks with family members to find solution to the problems.
