Issue: Dec-Jan, 2014 | Volume/Issue:1/1 | Page No.: 9 - 14

This paper vividly discusses the flaws in the teaching sector, as for as English is concerned.  Is the English being taught in Schools, colleges, Universities make the learner proficient in English? Despite of 12 continuous years of English education a learner at the post graduate level seeks a spoken English institute for his proficiency and seeks the help of another person for writing up his leave letter or any official document.  We live in the technological era, ELT standard has risen, and innumerable institutions have sprouted up.  But we are away from the fact that in most Engineering institutions in India, Language teachers are not the most sought, despite of the fact the employability of the learner depends on his quality of English! It is a pitiable fact, that in every institution Language teachers are deprived of the rights and privileges enjoyed by the major subject teachers.  Look at the very word major subject / minor subject.  Language has always been noted as secondary subject, in most institutions in India, the last hour is reserved for languages! When employability of the learner is the much talked about issue today, their incapability to deliver an English Lecture is what is discussed in every institution then a drastic change, revamping of our system is undoubtedly the need of the hour!

The service industry which forms the tertiary sector is now the leading contributor towards GDP of developed economies and most developing ones. This leaves this sector with maximum competition to deal with. The increased development of service sector makes its essential for the companies to go for betterment of service being rendered.  
“Placing employees ahead of customers” and treating “employees as customers” are key to attain better service quality and hence enhanced customer satisfaction with the latter leading to customer loyalty and eventually repeated purchase intention and most importantly a positive word of mouth. With every company striving hard to earn a place which is more sustainable in this highly vulnerable environment, little it can do to ignore the fact that employees are the backbone to attain the much needed competent advantage. 
This article has come out with an empirical study on the factors which impacts the employee satisfaction and has an indirect relationship towards satisfaction of customers. The study area was a leading retail store in Pondicherry region.

Issue: Dec-Jan, 2014 | Volume/Issue:1/1 | Page No.: 43 - 50

Environmental issues are best handled with the participation of all concerned citizens, at the relevant level. States shall facilitate and encourage public awareness and participation by making information widely available. Effective access to judicial and administrative proceedings, including redress and remedy, shall be provided. Human rights and environmental law have in common that they are both seen as a challenge to, or limitation on, the traditional understanding of state sovereignty as independence and autonomy.  Despite their separate initial stages, it has become more and more acknowledged over the years that human rights and the environment are inherently interlinked. The present paper discusses about the correlation of human rights with environmental harms, climatic phenomena, environmental change etc. It finally concludes with supporting remedies for propounding human rights towards sustainable environmental growth.   Keywords: Environmental values, Human Rights, Climatic phenomena, EIA, Pollutants, Right to Environment.

EFFECTIVE ADMINISTRATION OF THE RIGHT OF CHILDREN TO FREE AND COMPULSORY EDUCATION (RTE) ACT: AN ESSENTIAL STEP TOWARDS ERADICATION OF CHILD LABOUR FROM INDIA

Shazli Hasan Khan

Issue: Dec-Jan, 2014 | Volume/Issue:1/1 | Page No.: 51 - 70

There are many children who are still out of school, the hardest to reach, will be pulled in by the efforts emanating from ‘The Right to Education (RTE) Act”. It is expected that an estimated over one crore children, who have either dropped out of school or who have neither been to any educational institution or school will get free and compulsory education, as it would be binding on the part of local, State and Central governments so as to ensure that all children in the age six to 14 years age group get schooling. But we find that all the efforts made by the Government and Non-governmental organizations are not able to bear any fruits so far as most of the children are engaged in child labour industries and factories. More than 16 percent of the total child population between 5-14 years of age are involved in child labour. In 2010, the International Labour Organization estimated that 12.6 percent of children aged 10-14 in India are part of child labour and more than 20 million children are out of schooling system. One out of every seven children is a victim of some sort of social evil. Rampant child labour is violation of human rights and yet is considered to a ‘necessary evil’ in a developing country like India. Raising awareness of the problem is one of the most important roles for International action to increase educational opportunities for child labourers. Effective administration of RTE-Act, 2009 would be able to solve many of the problems being faced by the children who are working in hazardous small scale and other cottage industries. Community participation and mobilization can also help to eradicate child labour effectively. The author in the present paper tries to highlight the need of free and compulsory education for all children between the age groups 5-14 years, so as to effectively combat the menace of child labour. The present paper also focuses on the role of Nongovernmental organization in eradication of child labour form the Indian society.

M. Brindhamani & T. Manichander

Issue: Dec-Jan, 2014 | Volume/Issue:1/1 | Page No.: 71 - 79

 The term M-Learning, or "mobile learning", has different meanings for different communities. Although related to e-learning and distance education, it is distinct in its focus on learning across contexts and learning with mobile devices. One definition of mobile learning is: Any sort of learning that happens when the learner is not at a fixed, predetermined location, or learning that happens when the learner takes advantage of the learning opportunities offered by mobile technologies. In other words mobile learning decreases limitation of learning location with the mobility of general portable devices. The term covers: learning with portable technologies including but not limited to handheld computers, MP3 players, notebooks and mobile phones. M-learning focuses on the mobility of the learner, interacting with portable technologies, and learning that reflects a focus on how society and its institutions can accommodate and support an increasingly mobile population. M-learning is convenient in that it is accessible from virtually anywhere. MLearning, like other forms of E-learning, is also collaborative; sharing is almost instantaneous among everyone using the same content, which leads to the reception of instant feedback and tips. M-Learning also brings strong portability by replacing books and notes with small RAMs, filled with tailored learning contents. In addition, this kind of learning is engaging and fun. Therefore, it is simple to utilize mobile learning for a more effective and entertaining experience.

For this establishment of oneself in equanimity (selflessness) is a pre-requisite. This will lead to 100% participation in one’s duty. The duty could be in educational or any other professional sphere. The foundation of karmyoga lies in utmost dedication towards duty, responsibility and selfless service. Dedication to teaching by teachers coupled with dedication to learning by students will result into development of excellent centres of education.

TEACHER: A SOCIAL ENGINEER AND NEW DIRECTIONS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY TEACHERS

Sandeep Kumar Sharma

Issue: Dec-Jan, 2014 | Volume/Issue:1/1 | Page No.: 147 - 153

The word “Teacher” means a person who teaches in a school, whereas a person need
not work in a hospital to be doctor and need not appear in court to be an advocate, so teaching
refers to a process taking in a place or institution. It is consider being a profession rather than
service. But, it should be classified as service through profession or a professional service.
The tendency of the teachers should be such that they should realize the fact that each child sitting in front of them as a student is not a bundle of flesh, it has ‘urge’ for a search in it. The
duties and responsibilities of teachers should be of missionary zeal which brings satisfaction
to both teacher and the learner. The satisfaction should be mutual and reciprocal. But the
satisfaction of teachers depends upon mostly in the outcome of the efforts and performance of
a student. Swami ji has innumerable words for the teacher. Much weight is given to
piousness and characters of the teachers than the competence. Vivekananda says that the teacher should posses certain qualities. These are: A teacher should be a ‘tyaagi’ in the real
sense of the term. He should posses a sound moral character and led an ideal life. He should
remember that example is better than precept. Therefore, he should influence his pupils
through his ways of living, feeling, behaving and doing. A teacher must be dedicated to the
teaching profession with a view to rendering selfless service like an ancient guru. The teacher
should love his pupils. He should be sympathetic to his students. Without the sympathy he
cannot teach to the pupil. A teacher must have a machinery zeal and angelic motive behind
the act of teaching. The role of a teacher is like a gardener, who prepares a ground for his
plants, protects them, gives manure, water and makes the plants grow.

Tanu

Issue: Dec-Jan, 2014 | Volume/Issue:1/1 | Page No.: 154 - 160

The word Globalization refers to mechanism of international integration arising from the
interchange of world views, products, ideas, and other aspects of culture. Advances in
transportation and telecommunications infrastructure, including the rise of the telegraph and
its posterity the Internet, are major factors in globalization, generating further
interdependence of economic and cultural activities. There has been a rapid economic
growth in Asia after embracing market orientation-based economic policies that encourage
private property rights, free enterprise and competition. particular, in East Asian developing
countries, GDP per head rose at 5.9% a year from 1975 to 2001 (according to 2003 Human
Development Report of UNDP). Like this, the British economic journalist Martin Wolf says that incomes of poor developing countries, with more than half the world’s population, grew substantially faster than those of the world’s richest countries that remained relatively stable
in its growth, leading to reduced international inequality and the incidence of poverty.

SOCIO-CULTURAL EXPLORATIONS IN SHASHI DESHPANDE'S "THE DARK HOLDS NO TERROR

Babu Nampalli

Issue: Dec-Jan, 2014 | Volume/Issue:1/1 | Page No.: 161 - 167

In Shashi Deshpande\'s novels, we can find the variety of characters too. In
Deshpande\'s literary world there are characters taken from almost all the sections of life.
They are medical practitioners and writers, educated housewives, uneducated ones and
maidservants. Besides poverty, bereavement and such other common adversities, there are
some causes of suffering exclusively for the female. Deshpande renders with sympathetic
understanding the variety of suffering a woman has to undergo. Sometimes the suffering is
attached to the social taboos, and sometimes the women are silenced in the name of family
honor, and are compelled to digest torture. Shashi Deshpande usually describes Indian
women in her novels. That is why the condition of women in our families. Shashi Deshpande\'s
sincere attempt to break the silence of women has been widely acclaimed in home and
abroad. Her clear understanding of human relationship, her close observation of the way of
the world, her unbiased attitude to dogmas and movement enforced me to do the present
attempt in this direction.
Key Words:Sympathetic understanding, maidservants, dogmas, social taboos.

Satvinderpal Kaur

Issue: Dec-Jan, 2014 | Volume/Issue:1/1 | Page No.: 168 - 173

Development of the country can never be possible without ensuring expansion of education among masses. Education is one of the pillars on which the whole edifice of social sector reforms rests on. The huge number of the people who are disadvantaged from education means a colossal waste of human resources. Human development is a growth paradigm that is about creating an inclusive society which includes the people who are disadvantaged socially, physically or mentally. Inclusiveness aims at building capabilities and self-esteem in the citizens so that they lead better lives, and significantly contribute for the progress of society. Besides many efforts made to universalize the education to all, but the target to bring all especially who remain disable and disadvantaged from many aspects could not be achieved. Inclusive education in India is in forefront with many emerging challenges and constraints. The present paper using data from the secondary sources discusses the need and status of inclusive education in India. Keywords:inclusive,disadvantages

Navleen Kaur & Ms. Priyanka Chandra

Issue: Dec-Jan, 2014 | Volume/Issue:1/1 | Page No.: 182 - 193

Child Labour is the pattern of engaging children in economic activity for part time or full time basis.
This robs children of their childhood. It is detrimental to their physical and mental development.
Children in every society have always participated in the economic activities. They have been
assisting their families at home, in farms and shops, etc. All work is not bad for children. Some
activities do make a positive contribution to their development, prepares them for their future tasks
and help them to pass on the traditional skills from one generation to another. Therefore, there is a
difference between child work and child labour. The reasons giving birth to child labour are poverty,
illiteracy, scarcity of schools, ignorance, socially regressive practices, blind customs and traditions,
migrations, corruption amongst employees and government labour organization. The present study is
an attempt to know the reasons of child labour in a modern city like Chandigarh, which is also an
education hub in the upper north region of India.

BREAKING SILENCE: CHALLENGING MASCULINE HEGEMONY

Ahuja Sandeep

Issue: Dec-Jan, 2014 | Volume/Issue:1/1 | Page No.: 182 - 188

One of the most dominant trends visible in Indian English Fiction during the last couple of decades is that there has been a continuous and concerted attempt to give voice to those who have been marginalized for centuries.   The rise of feminism has been the most conspicuous movement that has led to a tremendous shift in the treatment of themes, characterization, tone, tenor and idiom in the Indian English fiction. The appearance of Women protagonists displacing the male hero signaled the dawn of new era that was characterized by a challenge to  the male hegemony and patriarchal oppression, and  breaking of the deep and long silence of women subjugated for centuries. Kamala Markandya, Anita Desai, Nayantara Sehgal,  Shashi Deshpande move away from idealized and stereotypical characterization of women and present in their novel  women protagonists realistically depicting them as  individuals trapped in humdrum of life struggling and surviving in this oppressive male dominating society. The present paper is a modest attempt to study the female protagonists of these writers: to come to an understanding of their lives, their hopes, their psychic trials and tribulations, their desperate attempts to find meaning of their existence, and their quest for identity in this, hitherto, alien masculine world.

Education for sustainable development (ESD) is a term used by the United Nations and is defined as education that encourages changes in knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to enable a more sustainable and just society for all. ESD aims to empower and equip current and future generations to meet their needs using a balanced and integrated approach to the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Agenda 21 was the first international document that identified education as an essential tool for achieving sustainable development and highlighted areas of action for education. ESD is a component of measurement in an indicator for Sustainable Development Goal 12 (SDG) for responsible consumption and production. SDG 12 has 11 targets and target 12.8 is By 2030, ensure that people everywhere have the relevant information and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature. One version of education for Sustainable Development recognizes modern-day environmental challenges and seeks to define new ways to adjust to a changing biosphere, as well as engage individuals to address societal issues that come with them In the International Encyclopaedia of Education, this approach to education is seen as an attempt to "shift consciousness toward an ethics of life-giving relationships that respects the interconnectedness of man to his natural world" in order to equip future members of society with environmental awareness and a sense of responsibility to sustainability. Keywords – Sustainable Development, Education, Policy Makers

Dazy Zarabi

Issue: Dec-Jan, 2014 | Volume/Issue:1/1 | Page No.: 193 - 213

Life skills for students with special needs are very important and valuable forthem to get in education. This skills education program is a part of life skill. It is expected that training in life skills will enable to live independently. This skill training focuses on the various skills to produce a product in the form of real objects that are beneficial to life. By learning the various skills expected, children with special needs can gain a perceptual experience, appreciative experience, and creative experience. Adolescence is a period when the intellectual, physical, social, emotional and all the capabilities are very high, but, unfortunately, most of the adolescents are unable to utilize their potential to maximum due to various reasons. They face many emerging issues such as global warming, famines, poverty, suicide, population explosion as well as other issues like alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual abuse, smoking, juvenile delinquency, anti-social acts, etc. that have an adverse effect on them and others too, to a large extent. The cut-throat competition, unemployment, lack of job security, etc. are some of the major concerns for the educated and as a result, they are caught in the mad race. This new challenge requires immediate and effective responses from a socially responsible system of education. ‘Education’ is important, but education to support and live life better is more important. It has been felt that life skills education bridges the gap between basic functioning and capabilities. It strengthens the ability of an individual to meet the needs and demands of the present society and helps in dealing with the above issues in a manner to get desired practical behavior. Imparting life skill training through inculcating life skill education will help youth to overcome such difficulties in life.
