This paper is a review paper try to discuss the role of peace education in fostering a culture of peace. Wars begin in the minds of men, so it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed. It is not enough to be connected to each other, more than this, we should share our solutions, our experiences and dreams in one great community supported by human rights and fundamental freedoms. Peace is more than the absence of war, it is living together with our differences _ of sex, race, language, religion or culture, it is the result of an ongoing process with constant engineering, vigilance and active participation. A culture of peace leads to sustainable peace. Culture of peace involves a holistic awareness of the changing world in which we live. Sustainable development and social justice, democratic participation, respecting and valuing human rights, equality and equity in social participation and education are the foundation stones to build a culture of peace. Among these, the comer stone is education. Different from general education peace education concentrates on developing values, knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors to live in harmony with oneself, with others, and with the natural environment. But it will be successful only if peace education go beyond theoretical aspect to internalization cognitively, affectively and in skill.

For all the tribes, the religious concepts, terminologies, and practices are different and various, but all the members of these groups contribute to somewhat which is common in them, they are below regular stress from the main prepared religions, like Hinduism and Christianity. Some of this force is intentional, as the missionaries work among tribal group to gain converts. Most of the pressure, however, comes from the process of integration within a national, political and economic system that brings tribes into increasing contact with other groups and different, prestigious belief systems. In general only those tribes that remain geographically isolated in hill and forest regions are able to retain their traditional cultures and religions for longer periods. Those tribes that make the transition away from hunting and gathering and toward agriculture, usually as low-status laborers, find their ancient religious forms in decay and their place filled by practices of Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, or Buddhism. This paper is an attempt to understand the spatial variation in tribal religiosity and it’s co-relation to education and other factors.

A teacher is considered the maker of destiny of a nation. He/she has a two-fold identity, that of being an educator and a life-long learner. As an educator, a teacher needs to be pedagogically sound while as a life-long learner a teacher needs to be a philosopher and have a sound knowledge of Educational Philosophy. The knowledge of Philosophy equips the teacher with the faculty of weltanschauung thereby polishing the acumen and refining teaching skills. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that Philosophy and Pedagogy complement as well as supplement each other. The present paper reflects upon core teaching skills in the light of prominent Pramanas encompassed in Epistemology of some major schools of Indian Philosophy and also throws light on how these skills are interrelated to various Pramanas besides giving valuable suggestions pertaining to the use of same in the field of Teaching and Pre-service Teacher Education programme.

Education is a continuous process and makes a person well-versed with the latest information and knowledge. ‘Commerce’ includes two types of activities, viz., Trade and Auxiliaries to trade. ‘Buying and Selling of goods’ is termed as trade. But there are a lot of other activities that are required to facilitate the purchase and sale of goods. These are called services or auxiliaries/aid to trade viz.- transport, banking, insurance, communication, advertisement, packaging and warehousing. Commerce education is considered as the backbone of business and it should be in tune with the changing trends. Commerce education has to play a crucial role in our society comprising of various political affiliations, religious institutions, economic units where, expertise of knowledge related to the field of commerce is very much essential. The term ‘Achievement’ refers to the degree or the level of success attained in some specific school tasks especially scholastic performances and in this sense academic achievement means the attained ability by the students to perform scholastic tasks, which may be general or specific to a given subject area. ‘Classroom Learning Environment’ or ‘Classroom Climate’ may be defined as classroom conditions, processes and psychological stimuli which influence the educational achievements of the children. It refers to those forces in the environment of the learner which have the potentiality to contribute to academic development of the learner. It may contain psycho-social conditions that characterize the overall interpersonal feeling tones existing within it. They are capable enough to affect the learning of the students. The present study has been conducted to find out whether the perceived stimulation of classroom learning environment by higher secondary students of commerce stream can predict their commerce achievement? The sample for the present study consists of 600 students (male=300 and female=300) selected with the help of multi stage stratified random sampling method from various higher secondary schools situated in Allahabad district (affiliated to U. P. board, Allahabad). For the purpose of data collection ‘Learning Environment Inventory (LEI)’ developed by K. S. Misra has been used and to find out achievement in commerce, the ‘Commerce Achievement Test (CAT)’ constructed and standardized by the investigator was administered on the students. ‘Step-wise Multiple Regression analysis’ technique has been used to find out the predictions. Major findings of the study revealed that five dimensions of classroom learning environment can predict up to the extent of 13.1 % of the variance in commerce achievement and these dimensions of classroom learning environment in descending order are- apathy (6.8%), diversity (3.2%), encouragement (1.6%), democratic orientation (0.9%) and competition (0.6%) respectively.

This paper examines the role of women, their faith and value system in building cohesive communities and examines their initiatives for developing and evaluating social cohesion activities. The term ‘community cohesion’ is increasingly used to denote local action and meaningful relationships between people from different backgrounds. This research sought to explore how meaningful interaction between individuals and groups is affected by differing access to resources, capacity and power between and within groups. The role of women in this regard becomes important as they are the ones who takes the maximum responsibility of upbringing of the child during the child`s formative years of life. These early years of child`s life are crucial for the mental development (including attitudes and prejudices) of the child. Therefore it’s the women, who could develop sound mental health among children who would become the future citizens. The secular values (like tolerance, respect of others etc) inculcated in these formative years among children prove to be a deciding factor in the child`s development in later years. It also depends upon the continuous learning which the mother provides to the children throughout its initial learning stage as well as moral and emotional support from mother which makes the child feel secure, thereby reducing the tendencies of developing aggression towards other people, in the future. The present study explores how faith and religious beliefs can influence cohesion of the society and the development of shared values. The study also suggests that a climate of trust is needed for interaction that leads to shared values and the resolution of real issues. It identifies key issues for the inclusion of women within communities and in leadership positions for National Integration and Harmony. Failure to focus specifically on involving women in formal structures could marginalise and silence their voices. Existing structures may need to be reviewed with input from women as a more effective way of creating sustainable harmony and integration.

The purpose of this study was to develop a valid attitude scale which measures the attitude of secondary school teachers towards human rights. For items writing of scale, criteria given by Thurstone and Chave (1929), Likert (1932), Bird (1940) and Edward & Kilpatrick (1948) was used. The first draft of test containing 52 items was administered on a sample of 208 secondary school teachers selected from government senior secondary schools. The ‘t’ was computed as recommended by Edwards (1957). Thurston (1961) suggested that ‘t’ value equal to or greater than 1.75 may be considered significant. So, the top 44 statements with the largest ‘t’ values (greater than 1.75) was retained as final draft of the scale. The correlation between the scores of the two halves of the attitude scale was computed by product-moment method. The reliability of scale was 0.92 and content validity of the attitude scale was determined while considering the items in the scale in preliminary draft and getting the language of each item checked by language expert.

Quality of any educational system depends to a great extent on curriculum that is transacted. Curriculum and Textbooks have been considered important for improving quality and standard of education. In-fact the crux of the entire process of education lies in its curricular design, structure, organization and transaction modes. The world today seems to be ruled by the cyber world, which besides offering an ocean of knowledge has thrown up may a challenge including displacing the teacher. The teacher, who was the ultimate then, is today treated more as a service provider than a second parent. Education has become a business transaction driven by market principles where student-teacher and the community are the ‘stakeholders’ and classroom interaction, the delivery of ‘goods’. Should the trend continue, what we will produce will be mere commodities without souls. For education to be meaningful, not only is the choice of curriculum with its thrust on essential areas, important but the manner in which it is imported. In today’s context, mere classroom delivery will not suffice. The means is as important as the end. During the last few decades teacher education curricula has come under severe criticism and their weakness have been highlighted. Some educationists feel that they do not fully address the needs of contemporary Indian Schools and society and they do not prepare teachers who can import quality education in schools. Effective curriculum frameworks for initial teacher education aimed at developing professionalism in pre-service teachers are expected to have their base in well-defined standards for various levels of school teachers.

Shashi Deshpande, a well-known Indian woman novelist in English, has eleven novels and four children’s books to her credit. Her novels are simple stories dealing with the lives of the ordinary people, women in particular, with their heads and hearts. Her women are the human beings who breathe and live around each one of us. They belong to the world of flesh and blood. The main thread of her novels is woven around the life of her women with their struggle for self-realization, self-assertion and emancipation. Since Indian society, to a large extent, has deeply been rooted in patriarchy, women have been facing injustice, suppression, oppression, subjugation and exploitation in one way or the other. They are the victims of social ills and evils prevalent in a contemporary society. In spite of being educated, they have been looked down upon with contempt; they have been reduced to the status of a plaything; they have been treated as lifeless objects used to fulfil men’s sexual desire and also as child-bearing machines. Deshpande, who is fighting for the cause of women, gives an outlet to her resentment at injustice done to them in the name of patriarchy.Her women exhibit inner strength, courage, confidence, solidarity and determination in their struggle against the hardships of their lives. They rebel against patriarchy and move on with an urge to turn their dreams into reality. The present article intends to explore the character of Sumitra, the protagonist of A Matter of Time, an epitome of love, strength, solidarity and determination.

Change is complex process riddled with obstacles, barriers, and resistance. Leading changerequires a comprehensive understanding of the change process and an effective application of managerial skills. The present study focuses on analyzing the difficulties that emerge during change process in an organization through an experiential exercise ‘The Change Game’ developed by Lewis & Grosser (2012). It also attempts to study the effectiveness of the exercise in simulating the complexities of leading change in a classroom setting. The experiential exercise was conducted on a sample of 17 post-graduate students of University of Delhi. The data that emerged from the activity and post-activity discussion reflects that a lack of clear communication, trust, transparency, perspective taking, and accountability between the management and the workers are the major difficulties in a change process. The negotiation of power between the managers and workers and the influence of group norms were the strongest barriers. The findings of the present study are based on a single conduction of one experiential exercise.

For the development of the country or state we need to build quality teachers, more quality schools, increase the retention of students. Though there are many schemes and plans made by the Government but these plans are not implemented fully especially in Uttarakhand Primary School level. At Primary District School level dropout rates are high. Plans are made by the Government but they are not implemented properly nor monitored accordingly. There are many other factors like environment and lack of proper human resources which are affecting the dropout rates of students. Awareness about importance of education and the proper ways through which education can be imparted efficiently for that step need to be taken. Education should be imparted without any gender biasness and social disparity as education is for all. For that Government has to take sudden strict actions and implement all the schemes and plans efficiently.The present study suggests that even if government makes plans they are not fully implemented and results are not up to the mark. Student retention is very less according to the expectations. Primary schools are being closed due to less number of student enrollments in schools. For that qualitative teachers needs to be recruited in large number and proper facilities needs to be provided. These things need to be taken into consideration and proper monitoring as well as vigorous checking of these plans has to take place for reducing the dropout rates of primary students in Uttarakhand.

This paper examines the role of women, their faith and value system in building cohesive communities and examines their initiatives for developing and evaluating social cohesion activities. The term ‘community cohesion’ is increasingly used to denote local action and meaningful relationships between people from different backgrounds. This research sought to explore how meaningful interaction between individuals and groups is affected by differing access to resources, capacity and power between and within groups. The role of women in this regard becomes important as they are the ones who takes the maximum responsibility of upbringing of the child during the child`s formative years of life. These early years of child`s life are crucial for the mental development (including attitudes and prejudices) of the child. Therefore it’s the women, who could develop sound mental health among children who would become the future citizens. The secular values (like tolerance, respect of others etc) inculcated in these formative years among children prove to be a deciding factor in the child`s development in later years. It also depends upon the continuous learning which the mother provides to the children throughout its initial learning stage as well as moral and emotional support from mother which makes the child feel secure, thereby reducing the tendencies of developing aggression towards other people, in the future. The present study explores how faith and religious beliefs can influence cohesion of the society and the development of shared values. The study also suggests that a climate of trust is needed for interaction that leads to shared values and the resolution of real issues. It identifies key issues for the inclusion of women within communities and in leadership positions for National Integration and Harmony. Failure to focus specifically on involving women in formal structures could marginalise and silence their voices. Existing structures may need to be reviewed with input from women as a more effective way of creating sustainable harmony and integration.

Noise is an unwanted product and a type of atmospheric pollution. It has a serious effect on human health but not received the exact degree of legal concern as devoted to other kind of pollution like, air, water etc. Though several provisions are available on the issue of noise pollution in India but these are in scattered form viz. in the law of torts, Air Act etc. Our Judiciary has also given less attention on noise pollution. No separate mechanism is there to monitor and control the problem of noise pollution. Therefore, there is urgent requirement to give required degree of legal concern to this form of pollution to maintain a decent quality of human life. In view of the above, this paper tries to outline the role of existing laws and the perception of judiciary and its efforts in context to right to be free from noise in India. To achieve enshrined objectives in this paper, the analytical approach on the laws and judicial interpretation has been applied.

Slums are bye-products of urbanization and industrialization. Slum is an area emerging with the industrialization and urbanization, where the buildings are unfit for human habitation, overcrowded, lack of ventilation, light or sanitation facilities or combination of these factors leading to backwardness. Slum dwellers suffer from economic hardships, lack of education and absence of health infrastructure, ill-effects of overcrowding, pollution and rootlessness characteristic of large metropolitan cities. In spite of the fact that they are living in the developing/growing or expanding metropolitan cities, and they contribute significantly for the development of the cities, their socio-economic conditions are different and backward. Moreover, their conditions and characteristics vary across regions.
The concept of slums and its definition vary from country to country depending upon the socio-economic characteristics of each society. Irrespective of location, whether in the core of the city, in the form of old dilapidated structures or in the outskirts, in the form of squatting, slums have often been characterized. Physically, slum is an area of the city with inadequate housing, deficient facilities, overcrowding and congestion. Socially, slum is a way of life, a special character which has its own set of norms and values reflected in poor sanitation, health values, health practices, deviant behaviour and social isolation. Slum is defined as that area, where the buildings are in any respect unfit for human habitation, or by reason of dilapidation, overcrowding, faulty arrangement of buildings, streets lack of ventilation, light or sanitation facilities or combination of these factors, are detrimental to safety, health or morals (Slums Improvement and Clearance Act, 1956). Slums are not fit for settlement and are a danger both for residents and the urban population living nearby. The authors analyses would like to the Slums and Urbanization in India.
