In the current environmental scenario, one is daily exposed to a wide range of chemicals emitted from various origins and people are hardly aware about these and their long term effects. Roundup is a one of these origins. It is a commonly used herbicide in the area of Sangamner taluka of Ahmednagar district. Farmers use Roundup in large amounts to control different weeds and grasses. Chemical nature of Roundup is Isopropyl-amine salt of Glyphosate (41% w/w) and other relative ingredient (59% w/w). International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as "probably carcinogenic in humans" (category 2A) in March 2015. Amongst mammals, glyphosate is considered to have "low to very low toxicity". Hydra, a fresh water coelenterate, is known for its tremendous regeneration capacity and has been extensively explored as a model system for aquatic toxicity testing. It has only two cell layers in the body column; all the cells get exposed to the surrounding medium which makes it susceptible to toxicants present in it, though present in very minute quantities. Here we show that commonly used herbicide Roundup hampers the life process even at low concentrations like 1:1000000 dilution. The adhering capacity of the basal discs was drastically reduced in whole and regenerating hydra after treatment. Also, the cells started disintegrating in both, whole and regenerating hydra at 1:1000000 dilutions within 24 hours post-treatment. Thus, heavy use of such herbicides may disturb the aquatic ecosystem. Our study underlines the importance of precautious use of herbicides like Roundup for the protection of environment, especially aquatic ecosystem.

Bhagavad Gita suggests 'one should always try to manage oneself'.The Bhagavad Gita is a 2,500 year old Sanskrit text that offers profound insight into the deeper practices of yoga. Manual is something which gives you hand on instructions of how to properly use an equipement,. Similarly wordings of Gita explains us how to live life properly within this material worlds and without affecting from it.Gita metaphorically prepares for the battle of spiritual transformation,It explains the many challenges and stages of the yogic spiritual path.Though yoga can help us to live comfortably in our body until a ripe old age, we know that, unlike us, the body was not designed to live forever. All chapters deal with one aspect of Yoga. Yoga and Gita both leads to the goal of self-realisation by daily practising some rituals and self-control. When one leads to control their heart from undesirable things it works as a detachment process which does not effects the height of emotions like depression or aggression.

This study evaluated the psychological attitudes towards Live-in Relationships. This study was conducted in January 2019. The current social conditions & changing normative nature of our society, is altering the attitudes of the youngsters. Generalization can be made on the basis of the results obtained in this study. Thus, we can conveniently say that females’ attitude towards live-in relationship is becoming more positive. The checklist includes 10 questions containing few positively worded and few negatively-worded statements. These checklists were carefully administered to 20 subjects (including 10 boys and 10 girls). Five minutes were provided to each subject to answer the questions. In this way the vital responses of the participants were collected. Even they prefer first livein relationships and then marriage, as a form of social experimentation. Although, there are some limitations of this study. The questionnaire should have consisted more questions. Probability of occurrence of chance errors, sampling fluctuations, influence of other organismic and subjective factors like personality traits of the subjects, mood etc. was very high. This might have biased our results.

Multiple Intelligences (MI) Theory is an amazing approach toward learning. The first scientist who proposed this idea was Gardner who suggested that “the traditional notion of intelligence as measured by IQ testing is far too limited and there are not just two ways to be intelligent, but many ways” (1983, p.51). Based on Gardner’s theory people vary according to their different aspects of their intelligence and learning. One issue which makes people different from each other is related to their intelligence preferences ( Ehrman, 2003). The sample comprised of 200 9 th grade government school students. Adopted Multiple Intelligence Inventory developed by Howard Gardner (1983) was used know the levels of Multiple Intelligence 9 th grade government school students. The results revealed that there was no significant difference between 9th grade government school students in their Multiple Intelligence on the basis of gender, age, habitation mother’s qualification, father’s qualification and income of the family.

Mahatma Gandhi (1868-1948) contribution to the field of educational theory and practice is really outstanding. He has been considered to be a revolutionary and educational thinker of modern India. When we talk about Gandhi ji, automatically certain ideals come to our mind i.e. truth, nonviolence, simplicity, love for all, leadership, dignity of labor and implementation or practicising ideas rather than just propagating them.

Right from the ancient society the women have been treated as second rate citizens. Only during Vedic period the women are given certain respect to participate in the discussions held in Sabha and Samiti. They are at full liberty in case of marriage and settlement. Slowly this trend has been changed. Women have to observe seclusion. They are not allowed to receive education like boys. The teachers have to come to the houses and teach the girls from behind the curtain. In the field of politics the women have played limited role. Very few women are discharged the function as rulers. Utpala queen of Kashmir, Sultana Razia of Delhi, Rudramadevi of kakatiya’s have functioned as the duties of rulers. She was one of the few women to rule as monarch in the Indian subcontinent and promoted a male image in order to do so. But after the enforcement of the constitution of India the position of women has not been changed on expected lines. Fortunately for women Mrs Indira Gandhi was the prime minister for 17 years excluding 3 years between 1977 -1980.Very few female members have acted as chief ministers. At present only one chief minister that is mamatha Banerjee of Bengal is performing her activities in the capacity of the chief minister. Only few ladies have performed their political duties and obligations. But women formed 50 percentage in the population. Problems of women have not been solved. At the local bodies 50 percent of seats in municipalities, panchayat raj institutions have been reserved. Similarly the women are provided reservations and they are elected to the local bodies. Still women are waiting for their opportunity to become member in the parliament. The reservation policy of 33 percentage was not passed. There is no sympathy for women for the political reservations among the political parties. As per various observations some of the political groups have pressurised the government not to pass the women reservation bill. The economic and religious groups are demanding for removal of the women from the political field. These issues will be high lightened in my full paper.

The perspectives of children (7 to 12 years) towards selected aspects like the type and description of music classes being attended, attitudes towards their music education, benefits and challenges faced with regards to their western classical and English popular music education in Mumbai and suggestions about some teaching methods/styles that could be incorporated in their music lessons, were explored. Judgmental sampling was used to select the sample size of 40 children. A selfconstructed interview schedule was used for the children attending western classical and/or English popular music classes. The data was analysed quantitatively (frequencies) and qualitatively (theme extraction and thick description). The subjects of music classes attended by the children were piano, violin, vocals, guitar, recorder, etc. which were individual and/or in a group. Majority of the children who went for other classes besides their music class stated that they enjoyed their music class the most. The common challenge that was found amongst children was the ‘music practice time’ the child invests in. Through this study, it can be acknowledged that even though Western Classical and English Popular Music education in Mumbai has its challenges, there are multiple overall benefits for children.

Yet lessons learned the hard way are lessons never forgotten. -Don William The present paper illustrates how to plan effectively for teaching prose in English. The design and strategy of the lesson can be planned prior to the teaching class. Teaching prose is something different from other subjects since development of language learning is focused here. So a teacher should emphasis in enriching vocabulary of the class. In order to gather students’ attention in the class a teacher can develop 5E lesson plan. It is a lesson plan based on theory of constructivism. In other words it can also be called as “activity based lesson”.

The character of Willy Loman will be under scrutiny. Aristotle has made several remarks about the definitions of drama, and tragedy as well; he sets down solid parameters about the „ideal‟ protagonist. Naturally, many have deviated from that character profile. Aristotle often makes clarification about the „elevated‟ position of his protagonists, and how the protagonist needs to have a tragic flaw “Hamartia” in order to set the stage for his grand downfall, as Aristotle believed that the only true form of drama was tragedy. Willy Loman is quite the painful thumb in this line of thought. His character completely lacks all the hallmarks of any sort of elevated position. His ideals aren‟t lofty, nor are his actions grand, but in this abnormality of his lies, greatness, ambitions, and his dreams. His inability to fulfill those dreams is sadly, his tragic flaw, and ultimately, his desire to manifest those dreams around him results in his downfall.

Due to fast expansion of educational facilities at all levels of education, the teacher is expected to understand his/her role in all its dimensions and play it effectively in order to meet the institutional demands. They have to welcome and accept new thoughts and trends entering in the domain of the educational institution. Generally, the teacher performs three functions, viz., impart instruction, provide examples and put impression on the pupils. A teacher has to present a model performance to watch and imitate so that students take an active part in learning. Besides teaching, the teacher performs much work in the institutions. His work may be a task, a duty, or an accomplishment. It may be a mental, physical or both. The work has not only an economic and mechanical aspects but it also has a psychological aspect. The teachers’ job related behaviour plays a significant role in shaping his work-values. In this reference, the present study will serve in motivating the teachers in analyzing their work environment and in identifying their work-values having positive or negative effect on their working conditions including their task of teaching and other jobs.

The Indian leaders were aware of the need of revolution in the political status of India, but at the same time, they were deeply concerned with the basic problems of the form and character of their future free society and their new culture. Therefore, the question of social reconstruction was discussed in its depth and that of culture from the viewpoint of the consequences of the impact of the west on the traditional and the emergence of the modern. Indian independence was not regarded as a matter of bread and butter alone, but far more as a search for the new ideals of life. In short, the question was what the Indian to live and die for was. 20th century witnessed the grand narrative of human freedom and Swaraj. Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Rabindranath Tagore, Aurobindo Ghose, M. K. Gandhi, Mahmud-al-Hasan and B.R. Ambedkar were few of the stalwarts that defined what meant “Indian Renaissance”. For them Culture, Education and the makings of Indian Nationalism were intertwined. These men were not merely political leaders, they were equally makers of opinion and their importance has to be judged as much by the ideas – moral, social and political, which they propounded as by the activities, which they organized. Nationalism, at least then, meant moral nationalism. Morality was the base of education and nation making. The question is: Have we forgotten this today?

In the teaching-learning process, the act of reading has to be given adequate importance. It is through reading; a student has the chance of improving one’s vocabulary and comes across the style of presentation. Students read more widely and think more deeply as they grow. The new thoughts call for words they have never used before, and more complex and more subtle arrangements, of words, phrases and sentences, and so there is a need for refining and extending the reading skills, as teacher educators, the author has found that the more one reads, these aspects get registered in the mind and is spontaneously reflected in their speech and writing. A good reader is often seen as a good writer as well as a good speaker. How well we teach a second language will depend on how well we teach reading English.

“Politics without Principles, Education without Character, and Science without Humanity and Commerce without Morality are not only useless, but also positively dangerous.” Right to education means that these rights-holders can stand up and that something can be done. Right to education for all is one of the biggest development challenges faced by the International and National community today. Right to education is the most important part of the human development. It is the foundation of free and fulfilled life. Education plays an important role in building a good society; it also promotes good governance and transparency in a state. The growth and development of a state is primarily dependent upon the quality of education given to the people. Right to education has been universally recognized since the UDHR (The Universal Declaration of Human Rights) and has since been enshrined in various international conventions, treaties, constitution and development plans. In some cases, the right exists along with the assumption that the user should pay for this right, undermining the very concept of a right. On the other hand, the right exists in theory, but there is no capacity to implement this right in ground reality. Right to Education is facing various hindrances like, teachers, buildings infrastructure, water and government support. The fulfillment of right to education can be assessed using the 4A‟s which asserts that for education to be meaningful right; it must be available, accessible, acceptable and adaptable. The question is whether right to education is available, accessible, acceptable and adaptable? This paper analytically evaluates right to education under RTE Act, 2009 in the light of 4A‟s framework.

A substantial body of research emphasizes the importance of humor in teaching processes however, research on the reasons for non-use of humor in academic contexts has enjoyed scant attention. Addressing this gap, this study examines the reasons for instructors’ humor avoidance taking into account student perceived benefits of using humor in academics. Data were collected through an open-response questionnaire. Participants were asked to provide their views on: (a) the reasons some instructors avoid using humor, and (b) the benefits of using humor in classes. “Humor is not in their personality,” “they lack competence to create humor,” and “they are more syllabus-oriented” were the most frequently cited reasons for the non-use of instructor humor Particularly, verbal humor such as wordplays, funny stories, puns, and content related jokes play an important role in learners’ development of (socio) linguistic and sociocultural competence.. Perceived benefits of instructor humor were placed into three major categories: Psychological, Social and Instructional. Implications of these findings are explored within the content of second language education.

Earlier advertisements were informative in nature and were used to convey the properties of the products and their general usefulness. Price information became a part of advertisement in order to bring home the point about it being affordable and competitive.

Educating girls is equated with educating a family and so as educating a nation. Societies across globe though accord importance to education of girls, yet disparities and inequalities are noticed against girls and women. Equality of educational opportunities is fundamental to national development. It is more pertinent in the context of education of Muslim girls who are away from the mainstream of development --being born as girl and grown up with minority status. Due to efforts made by the government in last decades through DPEP and SSA programmes, states have achieved certain targets successfully in terms of educating girls in general and marginalised girls in particular. Though access has been widened and enrolment pattern has moved upward yet retention and achievement of girls in general and Muslim girls in particular has become a major concern for all states in the country. In order to enable Muslim girls to draw maximum benefits from education system, enrolment, retention and achievement are equally important. Muslim girls need extra care and attention in terms of enrolment and supporting their retention at primary stage. Therefore, enrolment pattern and retention of Muslim girls have become major concerns for the society. A number of factors has been examined and identified as the potential correlates of enrolment and retention at primary stage. Studies conducted earlier though provide sufficient empirical evidences on enrolment and retention, hardly any systematic attempt is noticed in relation to enrolment pattern and retention of Muslim primary school girls. In order to give a fillip in the existing literature on education of Muslim girls, an attempt has been made to study enrolment pattern and retention status of Muslim girls at primary stage. The present study was carried out among 500 Muslim primary school girls in five Muslim Concentrated Districts of Uttar Pradesh. Results of the study revealed that there exists variation in admission pattern and age of enrolment of Muslim girls in primary classes. It is found that retention rate of Muslim girls in selected primary schools is below the satisfactory level and Parents’ wish is the single most factors responsible for retention of Muslim girls in all selected schools. Though schools and government have taken corrective measures in terms of encouraging enrolment pattern and retention rate, yet much ground is still left out to be explored where need for involvement of parents and community is highly warranted.

The paper explores feminist tendencies among the northern Nigerian male novelists and uses Gimba’s Sacred Apples as a representative study to depict how male novelists champion the cause of women liberation. Feminist theory is used in the analysis of the primary text. From the onset feminism has been and still is the way forward for the emancipation of women from male subjugation and this suggests social freedom that ensured equal treatment of all sexes. The findings revealed that there is growing gender consciousness among the northern Nigerian male writers of the three generations discussed in the paper. Because instead of the female authors, it is the male writers who are portraying the ways in which the patriarchal male dominated society of the northern Nigerian region oppresses women.
