Diurnal activity patterns of three breeding herds of wild buffalo were studied in Kaziranga National Park (KNP). A scan animal sampling (Altman, 1974) was used for sampling the activity budgeting. Analysis of the diurnal activity pattern of all herds showed that significantly more time was devoted to feeding activity, than other activities. The wild buffalo in KNP spent a maximum of 48.12% time on feeding activities, followed by moving 21.71%, resting 10.89%, standing 10.26%, and minimum of 9 % in wallowing activities. The result indicates that, feeding is the guiding factor, which has an effect on time allocation in various activities, possesses by the wild buffalo. Marked seasonal variation was found in the time allocation to daily activities. Activity is the behavioral output of an individual or group of animals of a species in response to resource availability and other responses to competition for resources, weather conditions, mate choice etc. Studying activity budgets is also important because it is an indicator of the health of a habitat which reflects the status and distribution patterns of the resources. Thus, the activity budgeting helps to understand the species-specific and site-specific time allocation, it is used as a tool to lay out comprehensive conservation strategy for a species in a particular area.

Culture is closely related to language. It indicates that in learning a language, learners also need to learn about the culture. English is one of the foreign languages which are taught in schools, from primary up to secondary schools. Moreover, there are also kindergarten and playgroups which provide English as the subject. In this case, English is a language which is very important because it is taught in every level of education. For the English teachers, an appropriate teaching strategy is needed to make the students learn English more easily. One of the additional aspects that occur in learning English is the cultural aspect. In learning a language, the learners should also learn the culture of where the language comes. Language is rooted in culture and culture is reflected and passed on by language from one generation to the next .From this, one can see that learning a new language involves learning a new culture. In English, the learners should also know the western culture to use English in the appropriate way. Culture is a shared background as the result of common language and communication style of a society. Culture is asocial practice which produces, circulates and exchanges meanings .In sum, culture is a result of people's thought or imagination so that they make it as belief or customs. Through the belief and customs, human being has the thing called culture. Although culture is broad in meaning and types, people can still study culture through its differences and similarities.

- Information technology and communication has reshaped the existing socio-economic and political systems. Change in Political Participation is explicit especially among the youth and women in this age of ITC. This is because digital age provides ample opportunities for public response in a lightening pace. Public discourses taking place through website have evolved into not only a medium for personal expression and mutual support but also challenges the old political cultures. Now citizen is not shear listener but also a speaker who can influence the public decision making. In the Delhi Rape case the public protest through internet has influenced justice Verma Committee which finally led to Criminal Law Amendment Ordinance 2013 providing death penalty in case of rape. Transforming the ways and means of interest aggregation and interest articulation, ICT has strengthened the inputs of political system. A shift from representative democracy (prone to elitism as observed by Mitchels) to participatory democracy in the digital world is expected by certain scholars. However, Digital divide arising out of poor accessibility and affordability of hi-tech devices and cyber crimes such as hacking create formidable challenge to digital democracy. The future and continuing well-being of level of political participation and civic engagement falls on the shoulders of its youngest citizens. Despite the apathy of youth towards the traditional democratic practices and the cultural displacement some scholars view that the young people may become politically socialized with in the media environment. The expected change in the Political spectrum would be visible by the participation of women and youth. Demographic reports show that by 2020 India would become the youngest country with an average age of 29. As a result of this overwhelming change in the political life a decisive shift in the political culture is certain.

Dalit consciousness in India that originated, among others, from the acute discontent of the Dalits with their wretchedness, could not remain dormant. This widespread feeling was manifested through several organizations and struggles for the emancipation of Dalits. With the passage of time, it became increasingly vocal, vigorous and effective. It started with Khalasi's demand for a lota for drinking water and the following Mutiny in 1857, and culminated in the commencement of the Constitution of India in 1950 and conversion to Buddhism in 1956 of B.R. Ambedkar and his followers. This span of hundred years was full of struggles and achievements of the human rights of the Dalit movement. The study of the Dalit movement for human rights would not be complete unless the chronology of events and achievements of the same are not duly recorded. Therefore, this paper attempts to enumerate in brief certain important events and achievements of the Dalit movement for human rights. Untouchability is a multi- faceted phenomenon. It includes within its scope social discrimination, religious restrictions, educational deprivation, economic exploitation and political persecution. This Paper also attempts to state the events and achievements respectively pertaining to the human rights of the Dalits.

Bharatha Rathna Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar was a man of versatile genius, great economist, constitutionalist, social reformist, a political thinker, a champion of downtrodden and above all a great humanist. All through his life he struggled to establish the basic principles - Liberty, Equality and Fraternity in all walks of life in the society. To achieve these he used his mental calibure and followed constitutional methods. His entire life was of great struggle to emancipate the exploited people. He had taken utmost care to draft the liberal Constitution, making the citizens of this nation to enjoy the fundamental rights without any discrimination on the grounds of caste, colour, and creed, place of birth, religion or sex. His notion of democracy made him to stand unique among the modern thinkers of democracy. For him, democracy is `a way of life wherein revolutionary changes in the socio-economic code of life of the people are brought about without bloodshed`. This itself is a testimony for his conviction in the establishment of liberal democratic system. This system to him should bring an end to all sorts of discrimination and thereby establishing a casteless society because he believed caste is a hindrance to the growth of individual and the democratic system.

The effect of exopolysaccharides of Azospirillum isolates viz., Azo-16, Azo-19, PS-24 and PS- 28 and certain ISR inducing chemicals viz., Salicylic acid, Jasmonic acid and Azibenzolar on the enhancement of plant growth and bio-control against blast disease in lowland rice crop was studied under in-vitro condition. It was observed that the application of EPS, collected from Azospirillum isolates and Pseudomonas isolates, augmented the height of rice plant and reduced the blast disease incidence in lowland rice to a higher level when compared to the application of ISR inducing chemicals alone. Eventhough, the application of ISR inducing chemicals was found to reduce the blast disease incidence, as in the case of purified EPS application of Azospirillum isolates and Pseudomonas isolates, but did not augment the growth of rice plant and clearly revealed the absence of phytostimulatory activities of ISR inducing chemicals.The study on the optimization of different concentrations of purified EPS viz., 100, 200, 300 ppm on the blast disease incidence of rice revealed that the application of the same at 200 ppm concentration could effectively controlled the disease incidence to a higher level when compared to other concentration. The results of the present study clearly revealed the effect of Azospirillum and Pseudomonas EPS on the enhancement of host plant growth as well as the bio-control against Pyricularia oryzae whereas the application of ISR inducing chemicals confined with reduction in blast disease incidence alone. Moreover, the Azospirillum and Pseudomonas EPS at a concentration of 200 ppm level could be optimized as effective one for the control of blast disease in lowland rice.

India has a rich heritage of pilgrim centres. The Pandarpur is one of the famous pilgrim centres of Maharashtra. It is also called as Dakshin kashi where Bhima River is flowing by taking a shape of crescent moon therefore, it is famously called as Chandrabhaga river.Lacks of devotees visit to Pandharpur every year during Ashadi, Kartik, Magh and Chaitree yatras. These devotees use the water of Chandrabhaga for taking holy bath and other human activities. The human interference is increased enormously during these days. It may lead to deterioration of water quality. To study the effect of water quality the samples were collected in between and after the yatra days. The physico chemical parameters such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, total hardness, total alkalinity, calcium, turbidity etc. were analysed for the study. Dissolved oxygen, total hardness and turbidity greatly showed variations during yatra days and after the yatra day's sample. The quality of water gives indication of intensity of pollution in the water

-In this paper an attempt has been made to analyse the livelihood patterns and identify the main factors which make livelihood sustainable in two selected villages of Murshidabad district of West Bengal. Sustainable Livelihoods are derived from people's capacity to make a living by surviving shocks and stresses and to improve their material condition without jeopardizing other's livelihood option either now or in the future. This requires reliance on both capabilities and assets for a means of living. A Comparative analysis of the livelihoods of the two villages have been made in this paper .The study reveals that only one third of the households of both the villages (34.8 per cent in Khoshbagh and 32.6 per cent in Majhardiar) have sustainable livelihoods which are achieved by adopting some strategies such as agricultural extensification, agricultural intensification, livelihood diversification, more work and migration. Government also helped the people to improve their livelihoods by providing extra facilities to the BPL card holders through PDS and 100 day guarantee of work to the job card holder needy people. Self Help Group also support people's livelihood by providing them loan at lower interest. People also deposit their saving in the SHG. The study finds that livelihoods are more vulnerable in Majhardiar village (67.6 per cent) due to its flood proneness than the other village Khoshbagh (65.2). Arsenic contaminated ground water and infertile soil are the major hindrances for the sustainable livelihood in Khoshbagh. This paper present a detailed analysis of the five types of assets and also deals with the livelihood strategies adopted by the people for making their livelihood sustainable. It is clear from the study that interrelation of all these five capitals namely human, physical, natural, social and financial lead to sustainable livelihood. Beside regular source of income the more is the diversification of income more sustainable is the livelihoods. The study finds that the households which are solely depend on earning from vendor, daily labour, agricultural worker, bidi worker, van driver are more vulnerable than the other people engaged in government services, business and farming. Due to flood proneness, irregular source of income and lack of Govt job people of Majhardiar are bound to diversify their livelihoods. Desired livelihood outcomes for better level of living, improved food security, more income and more sustainable use of natural resources may be achieved only when the livelihood is Sustainable.

Language learning is a continuous and steady process of surrounding impact. It started from fetus form and infant stages. The seed of language and culture shapes the audible and visual mindset of the students from childhood. The language of parents, family and vicinity sharpens the edges of language learning procedure. The basic mindset of the speakers' bents spontaneously towards his or her native language. Even the constructive, contemplative and common shafts of thoughts sparks voluntarily and easily in native language pertinently. But to speak in non- native language without any language culture is an acrobatic exercise. English is the window of the world. A language of modernity. The extension area of it is very wide. Western Vidarbha Region is situated in Maharashtra. Being a Marathi language speaking region, to speak in non- native language is an acid test to the Marathi language students. The preview about English language is full of thorns but the growing craze and importance is yet unsubsided. The traditional thinking about English and its uses on educational level is still alive but the role of ICT has taken a drastic change in English language perception. All ICT products using its keys of synchronization in English have softened the comprehension of English language among students of Westrn Vidarbah Region. It is a different measurement for the same thing at a time about English language to think is abortive and to feel is acceptive.

Individuals are identified and discriminated on numerous bases by science as well as behavioral sciences. These peculiar traits which make a person stand out from the rest of the population are of exceptional significance in the arena of law and criminal justice. Identifying any person by his/her physical feature is very easy and the characteristics are observable to any human eye. But there may be cases were looks could be deceptive and physical traits could be fallible, as in case of twins. Twins have been studied ardently for decades now to introspect the role of nature and nurture in humans varied number of times in behavioral sciences. Twins, specifically Monozygotic Twins have been believed to share closely similar DNA and this makes a ground for an interesting piece of work as the genetic make is expected to be more or less the same.

A Coalition government consists of two or more parties who must compromise on principles and share a mandate. This mostly occurs due to a single party unable to gain majority of seats. Like Indian National Congress (INC), the National Conference in Jammu Kashmir has dominated the whole political system from very beginning. However due to emergence of regional political parties coalition governments were also formed in Jammu and Kashmir. This research paper provides an overview of the functioning of coalition governments in the Jammu and Kashmir during the 1986 and 2002 and also discussed the Rajive-Farooq accord.

Guru Nanak's system is a whole-life system like Islam and Judaism, and takes an integrated view of the spiritual and empirical aspects of life. Consequently, it categorically rejects monasticism, asceticism and withdraws from life. It sanctions a householder's life with full social participation and social responsibility. Brotherhood of mankind and equality of men and women and of all castes are repeatedly emphasized in the divine hymns and the lives of the Sikh Gurus. It is a radical departure from the Hindu social ideology of Varna Ashram Dharma. From the beginning of Sikh tradition, women have held an important place. Sikh history holds stories of the many women who helped in many ways to shape the faith. Women have been active and central subjects in Sikh history and they are remembered in prayer and song along with their male counterparts. Until Guru Nanak's time women in Indian society had long played a subordinate role. The inferior status of women, however, did not fit into His vision of total equality for all people.

The term settlement geography is derived from the German 'Siedleness Geography', which involves the study of visual imprints made by man upon the physical landscape in the process of occupancy. Geographers study settlement enables and their spatial patterns for analyzing sequence of change in the cultural landscape. In the aim of present study, an attempt has been made to study the relationship between physical and cultural factors and manmade factors the distribution of rural settlements. To study the site and location of rural settlements. It is found that, in the study region, most of the rural settlements are located near the water bodies. These settlements are called wet point rural settlements. In the western part of the study region more numbers of rural settlements are located in hilly areas on the spur and foot hill site away from the water bodies such settlements are called dry point rural settlements.

India is a country where the trafficking of women and children occurs frequently and the incidents are seemed to be correlated with the economic social demographic and natural factor among other. Trafficking is one kind of migration meaning to recruitment of children and women within and across the national boundaries for work, marriage or services by means of violence, threat of violence. The widespread contemporary exploitation of men, women and children is unacceptable to people of conscience the world over. Traditional approaches to preventing trafficking in human beings, to protect and assist trafficked persons and bring criminals to justice have had some small impact on the global phenomenon, but not enough. That even one young person is denied the benefits of childhood, that one young woman are subjected to the brutal humiliation of sexual exploitation and that one man becomes the slave of a cruel taskmaster in another country are clear signals that we must renew both our resolve as well as our initiatives to protect those who are vulnerable.

The default risk arises from a borrower's failure to pay interest or principal or both on loans and securities as promised. It is the potential that a bank borrower/counterparty fails to meet the obligations on agreed terms. There is always scope for the borrower to default from his/her comments for one or other reason resulting in crystalisation of credit risk to the bank. Credit risk is inherent to the business of lending funds to the operations linked closely to market risk variables. The objective of credit risk management is to minimize the risk and maximize bank risk adjusted rate of return by assuming and maintaining credit exposure within the acceptable parameters.

In this paper, we construct a three sector static general equilibrium model of a small open economy with special consideration to the EPZs. The paper examines the impact of FDI on the output levels of different sectors and also on the incidence of employment in the EPZs. Here we have shown the possibility of expansion of EPZ as well as level of employment in that sector. Finally we have shown that social welfare of our small open economy may improve.

Indian Constitution and many of the legislations emphasized gender equality. But, in reality gender equality is not achieved and females are getting lower status in society. Employment, especially in teaching is increasingly participating by women in modern days. Teaching profession gave women economic independence.

It was found that women teachers have gained equal status in their families, but not in society, as majority of the women teachers are getting inferior treatment from their male colleagues.

:In the present investigation, alterations in acid phosphatase activity of Bellamya bengalensis subjected to acute toxicity of copper (96 hrs LC during summer season= 0.60 ppm) over a period of 30 50 days (exposure period) was used to assess toxicity. Samples of digestive glands were collected from both exposure and control groups and subjected for biochemical analysis of enzyme activity. There was generally a gradual increase in the levels of acid phosphatase activity in digestive gland when compared to respective control groups. Significant differences were observed in acid phosphatase levels in the copper treated gastropods with an increase in the exposure of time to the copper. Our results demonstrated that, acid phosphatase enzyme may be sensitive to heavy metal and can be affected by heavy metal ions hence it can be used as a biomarker to evaluate toxicity in aquatic organisms.

Marriage is a social union or legal contract between individuals that creates kinship. In the Indian classical myths, we find that marriage is a sacred relationship between two individuals. The relationship between a couple is essentially a relationship of the souls. In the ancient Indian scripture eight different types of marriage have been documented. But in modern society marriages and weddings in India is very different from what it was years ago. In modern society marriage is generally divided into two kinds—arranged marriage and love marriage, though other types marriage is also found in some regions in India. In our society marriage has some important aspects—physical, social, psychological and moral, economic and legal. Marriage is far more profound than our contemporary culture would lead us to believe.

In Vedic culture, a teacher is considered the most honorable and respected person in the society. The position of a guru is equal to God. That is why Guru-Bramha, Guru-Vishnu, Guru-Devo Maheshwara. Teacher is a creator. In ancient Indian tradition, Gurukul was famous for continuing education. Students were joining Gurukul at age of 5 or 6 years. They completed their education in the care and guidance of teacher. Saint Kabeer also sings about the greatness of teacher. He told us, “ If teacher and God both give sakshatkar, first of all I bow to guruji. Because I don't know about God with out teacher”. Teacher imparts the knowledge about greatness of God to the student. He emphasizes the extent of super-power in this universe. With-out teacher we can't learn. For any child, the first teacher is his\her mother. After the mother, it is the family that functions as a teacher and inculcates human and moral values. The teacher in the class room is honored with the third position as instructor and guide for any child.

The discourse of marginality has become intrinsic to postcolonial literature. “Marginality is the condition constructed by the posited relation to a privileged centre” (Ashcroft et al 102). The process of breaking the “centre” shows the framework of marginal experience. It resists domination and dismantles the oppressive discourses of power. Marginality based on gender, class oppression, cultural and racial differences has formed the content of mushrooming range of postcolonial narratives.

Hypsometric analysis of watershed (area-elevation analysis) has generally been used to reveal the stages of geomorphic development (stabilized, mature and young). Hypsometric integral quantifies the geologic stages of development and erosion prone-ness of the watersheds. Hypsometric integral is estimated by the graphical plot of the measured contour elevation and encompassed area by using empirical formulae. In the present study, hypsometric integral values were estimated for Man River Basin which is a tributary of PurnaRiver located in Akola and Buldhana districts of Maharashtra
