Since the birth of Hindu Varnra or caste system, Dalits have been segregated from the rest of community through the inhuman and arbitrary practice of untouchability. The ancient Hindu religious scriptures have been responsible for the ageless and endless pain and sufferings of Dalits. The theological world view justified the desirability and utility of this kind of social structure as it sought legitimacy from religion and its ancient scriptures. All those scriptures and their interpreters recommended absolute faith in them and in the interpretation that Varna or the caste system was willed by God or it was one of divine creations. The state power and organized religion imposed on them social, cultural and mental restrictions through superstitions, myths and punishments. The literature produced by Dalits revolt against the religious discourse of their respective countries. Therefore, the Dalit literary figures have lost faith in the religious ideologies and struggled hard for carving out some breathing space for their brethren. Some writers have made their poetry as a vehicle of propaganda against the hypocritical Hindu value system. The present research paper studies some selected Gujarati Dalit poetry where such protest against religious discourse is observed.

In this research article an attempt has been made to critically analyze the latest TeachR -Rankingand Accreditation Framework for TEIs (June, 2017) in Indian context. The main purpose of this framework is to evaluate the existing teacher education institutions on the basis of four components i.e. physical assets (Total score 10 out of 100), academic assets (Total score 20 out of 100), teacher & learning quality (Total score 30 out of 100) and learning outcomes (Total score 40 out of 100). On the basis of this evaluation, TEIs will be ranked and classified in one of four categories A, B, C, and D. Category A and B institutions comprise those fit to continue delivering teacher education. Category A institutions will be granted more independence over their functioning through a reduction in regulatory oversight. Category C and D institutions are those whose quality of education is found to be insufficient. While Category C organizations will be granted one year to meet the necessary standards, Category D organizations will need to stop admitting new students immediately and shut down in an orderly manner. The main purpose of proposed TeachR framework for accreditation and ranking of TEIs has been created with a view to provide a regulatory environment that enables and encourages TEIs to strive for academic excellence. As TEIs improve, they will produce better teachers who will in turn drive improved learning outcomes for students across the country.

Clean India and Green India are the two sides of one coin, i.e., sustainable development in India. Clean India or Swatch Bharat Aviyan (SBA) was the dream of the father of the nation. Mahatma Gandhi was mindful of the poor position of Indian rural people at that time and he dreamt of a cleaner India, where he emphasized on cleanliness and sanitation as an intact function of surviving. In June 2014, the then President of India Pranab Mukherjee in his address to Parliament said, “For ensuring hygiene, waste management and sanitation across the nation a “Swachh Bharat Mission” will be established. This will be our tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on his 150th birth anniversary to be celebrated in the year 2019”. Recently, the Narendra Modi Government is trying to establish the “Swachh Bharat Mission”. Green India mission is a National Mission under eight Missions of the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC), recognizes that climate change phenomena will seriously affect and alter the distribution, type and quality of natural biological resources of the country and the associated livelihoods of the people. Lying close to the models of sustainable Development, this paper is an attempt to magnify the Green and Clean India as a model of Sustainable Development.

The present investigation was aimed to study the level of occupational stress among special education school teachers in relation to their gender. Here, a sample of 120 special education school teachers (60 males and 60 females) was selected from 15 special schools of Delhi, Haryana and Rajasthan states through simple random, purposive, convenience and cluster sampling methods. The survey questionnaire Occupational Stress Index developed and standardised by Dr. A.K. Shrivastava and Dr. A. P. Singh (1981) was used for measuring levels of occupational stress among special education school teachers. Percentage analysis, t-test were employed for data analysis. A higher percentage of special education school teachers were found to be experiencing moderate to high level of occupational stress. The dimensions which causes occupational stress are role conflict and ambiguity, powerlessness, low autonomy, low participation in decision making, little colleague social support, high professional expectations, less security, facilities, nature of job, prestige, intellectual stimulation, advancement and emolument and contingent punishment by the administrator. Besides, perceived level of occupational was also found to be related to gender of special education school teachers. A significant difference in mean OSI scores of male and female special education school teachers (t=2.45 which is significant at 0.05 level of significance) was found. The higher value of mean OSI scores (i.e. 126.54) of male special education school teachers than the value of mean OSI scores (i.e. 116.72) of female special education school teachers indicated that the male special education school teachers perceives high level of occupational stress at their workplace in comparison with the female special education school teachers.Thus, authority of the institutions, state managing body and personnel engaged with the administration of the special education institutions are advised to give due consideration to the above factors while planning about educational management. If the national desire for higher quality of education is to be brought in reality, there must emerge, a national concern for and commitment to a higher quality of the educational environment of the special education school teachers.

Academic excellence refers to the growth of an individual with regard to his or her academic or intellectual skill. Learners from higher education form the workforce of the nation, and hence would need to be equipped with the skills relevant to the felt needs of the society. However, there exists a large skill gap between what the employers look for in potential employees and the skills which higher education cultivates in the learners. This gap must be bridged, and the roadmap may be through changing the approach to curriculum transaction in higher education. Learners in higher education are adult learners, and learn most effectively when learning is self directed, stems from their own experience and is relevant to their life. Hence, a shift from pedagogy to andragogy might lead to more effective learning outcomes. This paper explores this paradigm shift from pedagogy to andragogy in higher education.
