Periodic assessment/evaluation of learning outcomes helps in deciding the attainment of students in the subject area, suitability of learning experiences provided, learning strategies adopted and the appropriateness of the curriculum in general. In this regard, it is an integral part of curriculum construction and renewal process. In Environmental Education, evaluation concerns with objectives in Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor domains and hence a teacher should make use of a range of assessment techniques for measuring these learning outcomes. The document „Habitat and Learning‟ of the National Curriculum Framework (NCF, 2005) highlights this by stressing “since the development of appropriate attitudes, skills and values is to be the most significant component of EE in schools, developing a scheme to assess student‟s achievement on these aspects will perhaps be the most crucial in determining the success of interventions through the EE curriculum”. This brings forth the need for grounding student teachers in the use of various evaluation techniques by actually providing them with situations to understand and practice these techniques and tools as part of “Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation process” in Environmental Education. This would help the student teachers understand the present learning levels of children but also how to use them in their day-to-day classroom practice. Based on the text and curriculum, written tests, examinations can be conducted to evaluate one‟s understanding, perceptions, applied knowledge about the subject and the values which one committed for, could be done through summative evaluation. In formative evaluation, apart from measuring the performance through the marks obtained ones‟ understanding about the surrounding environment, environmental concerns, observing best practices and processes can be assessed. This method can be applied to evaluate practice lessons, usage of innovative methodologies, experiments, group studies, brainstorming, observation, interviews, field visits, educating the mass/community etc., which establishes linkage with the immediate environment, and how they develop their perceptions and communication skills in the classrooms. This can help evaluate broadly inside and outside classroom learning. The assignment of developing projects should be based on teacher learners‟ immediate environment. It can be taken up by individual or by group. But it is desirable that the topic which they select should be such that they experience in their day to day life. Through this students‟ performance/ efficiency can be assessed. Whether such innovative practices have been used in Assam is very much questionable. Therefore, this study entitled „The Evaluation Procedures Used in Teaching Environmental Education at the Elementary Level in Assam.‟

Co-curricular activities can play a very important role in achieving these.It is widely agreed that the purpose of Environmental Education is that students shall be trained not only to know the right things but also to behave in the right way. A close relationship between right knowledge and right action is sought for. Here the former is mostly taken care by the curricular activities and the later part is taken care mostly by the co-curricular activities. The curricular activities are mainly cognitive in nature and concentrate on to intellectual development of the students. However, the objective of education is not confined to intellectual development only but also on all round development of personality, i.e. besides intellectual growth, education shall also cater to emotional, physical, psychological and social development.

In a student organization, the designation and the service continuity of ExCo members are mainly determined by subjective voting. On campus, many of these organizations are lack of an objective measurement linking performance to re-appointment while Balanced Scorecard provides the performance measurement in need. We applied inductive reasoning with a qualitative approach, focus groups, to explore alternative perspectives specified for these student organizations. Beyond a reasonable doubt, no participants in the focus groups had an attempt or a reason to whittle the proposed perspectives down, we then accept FARM (Financial, Activities, Reputation and Memberships) as the new performance criteria for the students to vote or not to vote. Most likely, FARM could be generalized to other nonprofit making organizations.

Inferiority complex, over dependency, antisocial behaviour, deviant sexual behaviour, and social outbursts are some of the social problems. The common cause for these problems is social environment of the adolescent. The clash between adult expectation of the adolescents and their own standards result in social adjustment. Social adjustment is also linked with the adolescents' home and school relationship. Poverty, parental indifference, physical and mental disability are also other causes for social maladjustment. Adjustments in social setup, developing interpersonal relationship, positive attitude towards the values are the expected social qualities of a normal citizen in any society. The process of socialisation involves nurturing of likes and dislikes, interests, attitudes, values, goals and aspirations in the hearts of adolescents. If the social needs of the students are not properly fulfilled, they become socially maladjusted. Thus to avoid maladjustment of the adolescent, proper nurturing of social qualities by parents, teachers, peers and elders in the society is to be done. The present research paper has made an attempt to share the thoughts with the intellectual forum and extend help to the student community. It will be helpful for students and teachers at undergraduate and post graduate levels.

NAAC has identified the following seven criteria to serve as the basis of its assessment procedures: Curricular aspect , Teaching-learning and evaluation , Research consultancy and extension , Infrastructure and learning resources , Student support and progression , Governance, leadership and management , Innovations and best practices. The IQAC is a significant administrative body in any educational institution. It contributes to maintaining quality standards in teaching, learning and evaluation. It promotes co-curricular and extra-curricular activities in the college. It is a capable body to administer various academic/educational activities. There is coordination among the stakeholders of the institution, but this still needed more attention and concern to increase such coordination. The IQAC and its coordinator require more autonomy (e.g., academic, financial, and administrative) for better performance. The IQAC has a greater role and responsibility in maintaining quality standards in the whole process of teaching, learning and evaluation.

Gender difference in metacognition has been a controversial issue. Prior researches have shown inconsistent results regarding the differences in metacognitive skills of boys and girls. At the same time some researchers have also observed that until the age of 14, children's metacognitive skills have a substantial domain orientation and beyond the age of 14, metacognitive skills merge into a generalized repertoire across the domains following a period halt in the development, which they proposed as the ‘halt hypothesis’. The present research addresses both these issues of metacognitive development. Six hundred boys and girls reading in higher secondary to degree classes in age group of 15 to 20 years participated in the study. The Metacognitive Awareness Inventories were administered on them to measure their skills in metacognitive knowledge, regulation and executive control. Firstly, the results supported gender difference in the development of metacognitive skill but could not subscribe to any univocal nature of difference. It pointed out that girls are better in metacognitive knowledge while boys are better in metacognitive regulation and they are same in executive control. The results also strongly supported the halt hypothesis but with differences that the halt period may be longer and beyond 15 years of age and also varies with respect to different metacognitive skills.

India is an agriculture oriented nation. A large no. of people in the country depend upon agriculture for their livelihood. But in India, it is not so easy for the farmers to earn sufficient income as agriculture depends upon uncertain weather and other biological factors. Low productivity or crop failure due to such unfavourable conditions result in poor economic condition of farmers. Less income or no income at all and high loans taken for agriculture add on to their misery. They find themselves trapped in such a situation where the schemes of the government do not reach to them effectively and thus they find themselves left with no other option but suicide. Moreover low agriculture productivity affects the agribusiness activities as well which in turn has a direct bearing on the national income of the country. In such scenario, agricultural insurance becomes a need to improve the condition of the farmers, support them economically and thus saving their lives which will ultimately benefit the country.

The problem of rising unemployment and existence of mass poverty are still one of the biggest challenges especially before the underdeveloped and developing economies like India. Unemployment and poverty are two sides of the same coin. Unemployment is non-availability of jobs, despite the willingness and eligibility of a person. Unemployment is a multidimensional concept. It has various consequences such as poverty, low income and standard of living, denial of opportunities, frustration, and no dignity and self-respect in the society. The objective of economic planning in India has been to generate more and more employment opportunities, to alleviate poverty and to ensure at least minimum standard of living to the countrymen. The Government of India and also state governments have launched and implemented various programmes during the planning period for achieving the objective of employment generation and poverty eradication.

Seed from Salvia hispanica L. or more commonly known as chia is a traditional food in central and southern America. Currently, it is widely consumed for various health benefits especially in maintaining healthy serum lipid level. Chia is a good source of polyunsaturated fatty acids: omega-3 and omega-6, soluble dietary fiber. It also contains appreciable amount of proteins and phytochemicals. Nutritional value of chia is the reason why it is used in prophylaxis of several noninfectious diseases such as obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cancer and diabetes. The present work analyzes the effects of dietary chia seeds during postnatal life in offspring exposed to a sucrose-rich diet (SRD) from utero to adulthood. Chia was able to prevent the development of hypertension, liver steatosis, hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia. Normal triacylglycerol secretion and triacylglycerol clearance were accompanied by an improvement of de novo hepatic lipogenic and carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1 enzymatic activities, associated with an accretion of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the total composition of liver homogenate. Glucose homeostasis and plasma free fatty acid levels were improved while visceral adiposity was slightly decreased. These results confirm that the incorporation of chia seed in the diet in postnatal life may provide a viable therapeutic option for preventing/mitigating adverse outcomes induced by an SRD from utero to adulthood.

Existentialism, a quite contemporary dogma apparent in the philosophical and literary work of Sartre, was much in vogue in the European literature dating back from mid-twentieth century. Existentialism dealing greatly with the alienated trepidation, preposterousness, prejudice, escapism, over attraction for liberation, started becoming the subject matter of almost all the writers of the modern age. As an avant-garde novelist, Anita Desai in “Fire on the Mountain” exhibits a strong inclination towards the existentialist interpretation of the human predicament.” Desai’s characters of Nanda Kaul, Raka and Ila Das are studies of women in the utter maze of isolation and ennui. The novel espouses the universal human struggle for survival, especially in the face of a never ending spiral of human failures and misfortunes.

Fast food restaurants regularly come up with sales promotional offers to increase sales during a particular period. The success of such campaigns is decided by how widely these offers are publicised, before and during the promotional period. Hence decision making for engaging right media to convey the offers becomes critical. The paper aims to study various options of media that the target group are exposed to, and study the preferred medium out of them as per ranks given. The target market is particularly the youth or college going students who are exposed to thousands of messages daily from various firms. The college students seek information about such offers as they have to manage their expenses on limited monthly allowances. It was found that youth eats out frequently. They choose restaurants with offers over the ones that don’t. SMS is the most preferred medium followed by outdoor media. Reliability on friends or word of mouth publicity was the least. The paper concludes that expenditure on sending SMS and buying outdoor media should continue. Innovations in types of sales promotional offers should be introduced in such a way that potential for word of mouth publicity is tapped, e.g. referral schemes.

Mysticism is an important component of religion, representing its experiential dimension. The term itself is of western origin, adopted by Christianity, evolving over time and extending in meaning only in the nineteenth century to include experiences of encounters with the ultimate nature of Reality in religions. Thus, a category of mysticism has developed, which can be studied in a comparative manner. The study of mysticism has further given rise to various questions related to study of mysticism and various perspectives of dealing with the phenomenon. As mystical experiences are essentially associated with states of mind beyond rationality, there is a general attitude of scepticism connected to study of mysticism. However, this scepticism must be overcome. In the present-day context, when mystical practices are gaining a new level of popularity over the world, it is not only necessary but also quite possible to study mysticism comparatively and to some extent, directly.

Education will instill in them right civic sense. Success of democracy depends on its citizens. Hence democracy needs its citizens to be educated. People can cast their valuable vote properly if they are educated and politically conscious. So all the citizens must be educated at least minimum level.
