n attempt has been made to construct and standardize the work motivation scale among the teachers at Asecondary level. A well structured scale was administered among them. The sample consists of 100 teachers at secondary level randomly selected from the schools situated in Pondicherry state. Initially the scale was constructed with 60 statements which are related to Work motivation.

The wireless communication system has made us able to use radio frequencies to communicate information over long distances. We can send voice or video at rates of more than hundreds of megabits per second, and the associated technology has become so inexpensive that many people are able to afford a mobile phone in order to be in constant contact with others. This paper analyses different modulation techniques used for Software defined radio. SDR technologies are important from the point of future mobile communication system because of its reconfigurableand multimode operational capabilities.

Tere is inequality and vulnerability of women in all sphere of life. They need to be empowered in all walks of life. Without the active participation of women, establishment of a new social order may not be a successful one, because women constitute half of the population.

The rising financial scandals, increased reliance on technology, growing competition, rising severity of operational risk losses and introduction of an exclusive capital charge has brought the focus of the global banking industry towards Operational Risk Management. Moreover, a number of previous studies on the subject have indicated an adverse impact of operational risk loss events on the market valuation of affected banking institutions. Thus, effective management of operational risk is essential for any banking institution. Operational Risk Management in banks is considered close to quality management and efficiency management and, hence, adds value for the shareholders and other stakeholders (Credit Suisse, 2003). In view of this, the present paper attempts to investigate the operational risk definition, the role of operational risk management framework and the regulatory architecture of operational risk. Moreover, it is essential for any banking institution to carefully understand and implement these aspects of Operational Risk Management in order to effectively manage their operational risk.

The methodology adopted for this was the pre-test, post-test quasi-experimental research. The sample consisted of 78 students of standard IX from English medium school affiliated to the SSC board. Using the technique of multiple correlation, it was found that there is a large effect of students’ conceptions of mathematics, mathematics self-efficacy, student engagement in mathematics and academic achievement in mathematics on students’ opinion of co-operative learning implementation. Student engagement in mathematics and mathematics self-efficacy contributed approximately 42% of variance in students’ opinion of co-operative learning implementation.

Micro finance sector has passed through long passage from micro savings and micro credit to micro insurance and micro money transfer. This continuing and evolutionary growth process has known an immense opportunity to the rural women in India to reach rational economic, social and cultural empowerment leading to better living standard and quality of life for participating households.

The condition of women in India has never been static; in fact it has been subject to constant change and modification. In the long journey of our civilization women have played a key role in shaping up the destiny of our nation, through their shakti (force) from which emanates male strength. From the days of the ancient Indus Valley civilization to the India of today our women have come a long way; their story is of failure and successes, resilience and robustness, vulnerability and resistance. From Sita to Kannagi and Razia to Laxmibai Indian annals are replete with numerous such instances where women chose to stand up for themselves against societal prejudices to fight for their rights. But what baffles our mind is that whether our country of Devi worshippers really extols its women or is it just religious symbolism that often defies the ground reality? The present paper attempts to demonstrate the factors and stages involved in the evolution of women’s question in India from past to present.

Metacognition helps learners to have control over what and how they learn, which can trigger the development of independent learning. Student success is promoted when students gain greater awareness of their own thinking and learning styles, i.e., when they engage in metacognition. An attempt was made to study about Metacognition in relation to Academic Achievement based on the background variables like gender and type of institution. The present sample consists of 793 prospective teachers of Physical Science from colleges of Education. Data were collected using a self-constructed scale on Metacognition and academic achievement. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Post ANOVA (Waller Duncan) and correlation. The results revealed that there was no significant difference between male and female prospective teachers of Physical Science in their metacognition. Female prospective teachers of Physical Science were better than the male in their academic achievement. With regard to type of institution, Boy’s colleges were better than the prospective teachers of Physical Science from Co-education and Girls colleges of education in their Metacognition. Co-education colleges were better than the prospective teachers of Physical Science from Boys and Girls colleges of education in their academic achievement. There was no significant relationship between metacognition of the prospective teachers of physical science and their academic achievement. But there was significant relationship between metacognition and academic achievement of male prospective teachers alone, compared to females.

Assistive technology (AT) is an area of the curriculum, as well as a tool for learning, in which teachers must demonstrate their own awareness and capacity for learning. In other words, for effective and meaningful teaching in the present information age, the demonstration of teachers’ awareness for instructional use of AT cannot be underscored. The ability of the teacher to be aware of available technology that could be adapted to the classroom is a key to an effective and productive learning environment. This awareness deals with physical, academic and relational factors. Awareness of AT followed by teacher action form the key to a successful teaching process.
