This set of abilities is called Information Literacy which is actually the vehicle for autonomous and lifelong learning. Resource based learning is a methodology that allows students to learn from their own confrontation with information resources. Such active learning provides a means by which teachers are able to tailor information resources, learning activities, the location of those activities and expected learning outcomes to the needs and abilities of each child. In developing these abilities, teachers and teacher librarians work cooperatively to combine knowledge of the curriculum, knowledge of individual students' needs and competencies and knowledge of information sources, resources and technologies.

Environmental degradation and depletion of natural resources has created havoc to the nature. Human beings exploited the environment for their personal motives. The destruction created to the environment is irrevocable. But still, protecting it from further damage is very essential for the survival of human and other species on Earth. Exploitation of the nature is beyond the endurance now. People have gradually realised the relevance of the nature and it’s retaliation against senseless exploitation. Now it is the time to pay off for what humans have done. Human greed through Industrial exploitation results in plundering of the natural resources and creating awareness among employees to engage in green behaviour can mitigate the environmental problem. Employee engagement is crucial for retaining productive employees in an organization and there are different types of it. Employee Green Behaviour (EGB) is the pro environmental behaviour that the employees engage in. This is one of the several methods in which environment could be protected. The research method used in the present EGB analysis is exploratory in nature. This paper explores the significance of employee green behaviour which plays a major role in protecting the environment. Also, it analyses the benefits of green behaviour for the employees as well as the environment.

Where Capitalism goes management education follows. Management concepts, theories and practices emerged to meet the needs of capitalist praxis. Management as a branch of knowledge evolved as the result of interaction between economics and engineering. Managers do things rightly, while business leaders do the right things. Decision sciences and psychology extend support to the growth of business management studies as decision making became more challenging and capitalist praxis became more complex. World wars were fought and won, cold war emerged and disappeared and unipolar world gave way to multipolar world. Technology played a crucial role in these mega changes. Management education could not keep pace with these vast and rapid changes. Management educators say that there is a crisis in management education. Economic growth and economic development do not mean the same thing. Economic growth is defined as increase in national income and per capita income. Economic development is a broader term. Economic development is defined as a process in which poverty, unemployment and inequalities decline. A country remains underdeveloped mostly because it remains an undermanaged country. Its natural resources and human resources remain undermanaged and underutilized. An underdeveloped country will become a developed country when it is managed well. As development economics emerged as a separate branch of economics, development management should emerge as a special branch of management science. The present paper is a small step in this direction.
