This paper focuses on the Right to Education Act (RTE) 2009, Maharashtra, with specific importance to the role of annihilation of the Indian caste system and the role of judicial activism with regards the same. It is important to note in this regards that the Indian Constitution, Art. 21, Right to Education Act 2009 Maharashtra (under Art. 8 and 9), refers to cases for judicial activism Since education is intrinsically related to a just and free society, it ought to be inexorably related to the radical praxis of the programme of the annihilation of caste. This paper also focuses on the social movement in Maharashtra and the struggle for equal and free education. Despite critiques of the RTE, it seems that making the right to education a fundamental act, is indeed a revolutionary step. Yet, because of the inbuilt caste-mentality prevailing in large parts of India, there are severe side effects, like casteism in midday-meal scheme in schools, school admissions, etc. And because of the adverse effects of globalization, where the rule of money is made final, its impact of the social justice movement has been severely affected

The one day has seen the birth of thousands of towns and cities, many of which have largely expanded during the last 50 years. Towns and cities have taken shape as centre of administrative and cultural significance through the centuries. As we can observe that the population in urban area is increasing too rapidly. Mostly people are moving to urban from rural area to have a more comfortable life, higher salary and better educational environment. At the moment, India is among the countries of low level of urbanization. Number of population residing in urban areas has increased from 2.58 crores in 1901 to 37.71 crores in 2011. India is the most populous countries in the world. Our country covers only 2.4 per cent of the land area of the world, whereas it is the home of more then 16.87 per cent of the world‟s population. Since the new economic policies were adopted in the country, Maharashtra has seen fast urban growth. Maharashtra has the highest level of urbanization in India at 45.23 per cent compared to 29.5 per cent as the all India average. Census data were used to study the nature and pattern of urbanization in India with special reference to the state of Maharashtra. Urbanization depends on the socio-economic system of the society and the rate of its development. Maharashtra state urban population growth is considered for the period 1901 to 2011. It has increased from 3217202 persons in 1901 to 50818259 persons in 2011. The highest urban population growth in the all census was 1961 i. e. 62.42 per cent, and Lowest urban population growth in the census 1911 i.e. 0.99 per cent. According to 2011 census, urban population was recorded 50818259 persons out of which male were 26704022 and female population were 24114237.

The problem of Social Competence is more evidently reflected in the educational field because the relationship in the classrooms is the prototype of ex-classroom relations. The socially awkward child is likely to misrespond to teacher as well as to other children. Dropping out of school is a particular risk of children who are socially rejected. These problems are universal because the way a child handles relationship in school years definitely reflect the way he would handle the relationship in his adult hood. In this study investigators try to find the level of Social Competence among Residential and Non Residential School Tribal Students. For that researchers selected 137 Residential and 127 Non Residential (total=260) school Tribal Students. Data collected by using Social Competence Scale developed and standardized by investigators. Results show that both Residential and Non Residential School Tribal Students posses average level of Social Competence. The level of Social Competence is high among Residential School Tribal Students.

The development of a nation depends on the ability, capability and competency of its citizens, therefore India is trying its best to educate its citizens as only education has the power to enlightened the people and take them out from darkness of illiteracy to the light of knowledge. India is a developing nation and dreams to become to a developed nation and this will be possible only if each and every citizen is educated and contributes towards the nation’s development by putting forward innovative ideas. To achieve 100% literacy, it is important to teach the marginalized section of the society. There are many children from this section of society who are first time learners. So, to help them and to encourage them, Government of India as well as State Governments has started several schemes. One scheme is the opening of residential schools in all the districts of the country. Government extends residential schools facilities to poor and rural students so that they can be provided education at par with the general students. For this purpose, Government of Karnataka has constituted a society called the Karnataka Residential Educational Institutional Society on October 1999. The main purpose behind the establishment of residential schools is to identify talented students belonging to the rural and poor background and provide them free education to help them in higher studies and bring them in main stream of society. The objective of this paper is to study the total enrollment and total number of boys and girls studying in residential schools run by State Government in Belagavi District of Karnataka State. This study is done by descriptive-survey method. The 35 Residential schools information is included in this paper. Investigators personally went and collected data from Social Welfare Department, Tribal Welfare Department and Minority Welfare Department. The data was analyzed and interpreted. The finding shows that the enrollment in the Residential Schools is increasing year by year. Another important finding is that the enrollment of boys is more than girls. “In a democratic scheme, money invested in the promotion of learning gives a tenfold return to the people even as a seed sown in good soil returns a luxuriant crop.”- Mahatma Gandhi

The optical properties of a-Si:H have been measured by several workers but there has been no suitable model to explain these results. A quantitative model for the incorporation of hydrogen in aSi:H network to introduce hydrogen dependency of the optical properties has been developed. The concept of bond polarizabilities has been used to compute refractive index of a-Si:H as a function of hydrogen concentration. The results obtained have been compared with recent experimental results and the discrepancy has been explained. It has been found that the optical gap (Eg) increases with the increase of hydrogen concentration (CH). The results have been found to be consistent with the recent experimental results. Other results have also been compared and a theoretical relation Eg = 1.5 + 1.2 CH is thus obtained which corresponds reasonably well with the experimental results.

The HR function now holds a strategic role within the various organizational structures of the global economy, the proof of this being the endless debates on Human Resources issues between decision makers, leaders, employees and trade unions, not to mention the spectacular development of this discipline within universities and business schools all over the world. Hence we would expect there to be a direct link between this evolution of the function, the investment in human capital and the benefits generated in the development of the companies’ performance. The purpose of employee welfare is to bring about the development of the whole personality of the workers to make a better workforce. The very logic behind providing welfare schemes is to create efficient, healthy, loyal and satisfied labour force for the organization. The purpose of providing such facilities is to make their work life better and also to raise their standard of living. Hence, this article aims to highlight the practice of Human Resources Management in the developing economies and to define the effect of welfare programs on work incentives and the labour supply in developing countries by giving reference to a concrete case study and its results in the field of employee welfare and to what extent it shapes out the job satisfaction of the employees.

Former Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi on 7 th September,2016 said that the poll panel is eagerly awaiting government's response on its slew of proposals to decriminalize politics and cleanse political funding. One Nation, One Election is a proposed electoral reform in India. It has been proposed to hold a single election for both Lok Sabha and States instead of separate and continuous elections. "Why PM Modi‟s idea of „One Nation, One Election‟ may not work"? (The Financial Express, 7 September 2016)1 . Prime Minister Narendra Modi‟s idea of holding simultaneous elections in the country may be desirable but it may not work in a country as vast and diverse as India, according to experts. Recently in an interview to a news channel, PM Modi had said too many elections in the country were coming in the way of the development of the country. Noting that the country is trapped in the cycle of elections, “It is time to take it out of this cycle. It is time to stop connecting everything with politics.”

A data warehouse is a subject-oriented, integrated, time-variant, non-volatile collection of data in support of management's decision making process. Data warehousing is the data management and analysis technology. Data in the data warehouse is preprocessed and presented such that it facilitates the cross functional monitoring and assessment of the overall direction of the organization. Thus, it is the hub for an intelligent management decision support. Successful implementation of a data warehouse requires a high-performance, scale able combination of hardware and software, which can integrate easily with existing systems, so that users can use data warehouse to improve their decision-making. A data warehouse is incomplete until it provides the exploitation tools that enable end users to view analyze and report on data in ways that support their decision-making. Data marts, data mining, data modeling and metadata are some other important concepts attached with data warehousing, the knowledge of which helps to a great extent in data warehouse implementation. Business intelligence data warehouse is the combination of two terms frequently used in the data mining and analysis field. When used together, vendors are trying to emphasize that they offer more services than just data warehousing alone. Because business intelligence can encapsulate a wide variety of services and tools, combining the terms into business intelligence data warehouse reflects that the vendor offers everything an organization needs, including the basics of data warehousing. Many organizations prefer to purchase business intelligence tools and data warehousing as a combined business intelligence data warehouse system in order to increase the efficiency of the integrated system. The key advantages of using a Data warehouse business intelligence system is that it makes it much simpler to analyze and report on the information extracted from the data entered into the system. In the cleansing stage of the data warehousing process, all inconstancies in the data are determined and taken care of before the data enters the ETL stage. The effectiveness of the data warehouse application intensifies especially when the operational data resides in distributed, non-homogenous systems and replace manual data gathering and reconciliation procedures. Therefore, data warehousing can be useful to not only commercial sectors but also to sectors like government, health care, insurance, manufacturing, finance, distribution, education The goal of a data warehouse application in an organization is to increase the effectiveness of the Decision-making and direction setting process. Data in the data warehouse is preprocessed and presented such that it facilitates the cross functional monitoring and assessment of the overall direction of the organization. Thus, it is the hub for an intelligent management decision support. A data warehouse is incomplete until it provides the exploitation tools that enable end users to view analyze and report on data in ways that support their decision-making. The aim of the paper is to generate the knowledge of data warehousing concept and its advantages in the era of globalization. To study the structure and application of data warehousing. Acquiring right information at the right time from the huge ocean of data is becoming difficult day by day. Data warehouse helps to convert the information overload in to meaningful strategic information

Mathematics has aptly been called the Queen of Sciences. Its ubiquity can be easily traced in every walk of life. It is an integral part of school curriculum. In developed countries, innovative methods and techniques are being adopted as a supplement in transacting mathematics curriculum in the wake of paradigm shifts in Pedagogy of Mathematics at school level. It is however a matter of regret that despite its ubiquity and utility in daily life, mathematics is not being taught in its true spirit in our country. Logical thinking, spirit of enquiry, faculty of reasoning, scientific attitude etc. are not emphasized. Adoption of ICT and Avant-Gardism in Pedagogy of Mathematics is in a nascent phase in our country. The present paper discusses the pedagogy of mathematics in the context of Eclecticism besides giving valuable suggestions pertaining to the use of same in the field of Teaching and Preservice Teacher Education programme.

Learning depends on the effective use of cognitive process such as memory and attention, the activation of relevant background knowledge and the deployment of cognitive strategies to achieve particular goals. Learners also need to have awareness and control of their cognition and this is called Metacognition. The label Metacognition was given by American psychologist John Flavell (1976). Metacognition refers to higher order thinking which involves active control over the cognitive processes engaged in learning. Activities such as planning how to approach a given learning task, monitoring comprehension, and evaluating progress toward the completion of a task are metacognitive in nature. Since adults are largely self determining, therefore they can develop metacognitive skills which are an essential element in any program intended to increase their autonomy. With this reference researcher analyse metacognitive awareness skills among B.Ed. Student teachers.

A study was undertaken to enhance the basic understanding of creation of fear and its control in the students. The results showed that fear is instinctive and its knowledge is essential to protect from dangers. Fear which improves is healthy while the one which harms, is unhealthy. Fear is a function of the mind recording the effects of external environment in the form of emotions. We are, in fact, beyond emotional effects but by ignorance we do get affected when we identify with them. The harmful effects of fear can be overcome if we do not identify ourselves with it and act just as a witness. The acceptance of fear, without any judgement , acts as an internal alchemy. Deep breathing and stretching of joints and muscles can aid in alleviating the negative effects of fear. Besides, the value of silence and visualization of successful completion of examination in overcoming it is also stressed
