Polyploidy breeding is an effective method for doubling the chromosome number of a species. Genetic variations created can be further used in breeding programme.Polyploidy breeding holds immense prospects in developing desirable varieties in flower crops.With the help of polyploidy, changes in morphology and cytology of plant are observed. Tetraploids are more vigorous and larger in size. Tetraploids produce thick and dark green leaves. Mostly seen consequences of induced polyploidy are increase in size and shape of plants; leaves, branches, flower parts, fruits and seeds. Intensification of flower colour and fragrance is observed in Marigold plants following chromosome number doubling. Chemicals like colchicine, oryzalin, triXuralin and amiprophosmethyl (APM) etc. are used in induction of polyploids. Although colchicine remained the most used for induction of polyploidy. Chromosome doubling using various chemicals was observed in flower crops viz., Marigold, Aster, Orchid, Jasmine, Lillium, Chrysanthemum, Alstromeria, Anthurium, Roseand Gerbera.

We all expect teacher for our kids should be competent and cool. It is teacher educator who helps teacher to develop himself/herself like that. So it is obvious that the teacher educator herself should be enough competent and having normal and well developed personality. Our M.Ed. students who are would be teacher educator and we expect them to be a good teacher educator in future. But just expectations are not enough; we should test them and help them wherever there is need. For that purpose the researcher who is a teacher educator thought of testing own students for emotional competence and neurotic tendency, as both of these characteristics matters a lot specially in teacher education as their students will be working with future teachers. And we all know that students imitate & behave like what they observe rather than what they hear about. The researcher worked on the sample of 30 students. Gave them ‘Emotional Competence Scale’ and “KNPI’ (Kundu’s Neurotic Personality Inventory) to solve and found out correlation between these two attributes. More than 50 % students were ‘average\' in Emotional Competence; 37 % were ‘competent’ and 10% students were ‘incompetent’. And only 20 % students were ‘normal’; 60 % students were ‘slightly neurotic’ and 20 % were ‘moderately neurotic’There was no significant correlation between ‘Emotional Competence’ and ‘Neurotic Tendency’ of M. Ed. students. So the conclusion which is limited to the sample group is neurotic tendency and emotional competence are two separate and independent factor not having relation between them.

TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT

Tanuja Waghmare

Page No.: 2685 - 2694

Management is the process of planning, organizing, actuating and controlling an organizations operation in order to achieve a coordination of the human and material resources essential in the effective and efficient attainment of objectives. Although the concept of quality is very old, today it is perhaps the major preoccupation of organizations world-wide. However, in the recent years, TQM has captured the world-wide attention and is being adopted in many organizations, both profit and non-profit. Step through TQM\'s door and the first person you\'ll want to meet will be W. Edwards Deming, credited as the founding father of Total Quality Management. Deming grew up in the twenties and thirties, a time when all you needed to succeed as a factory worker was the ability to work long hours at extremely boring jobs. Most industrial tasks required little or no formal schooling and illiteracy rates were high.

Goutam karmakar

Page No.: 2695 - 2701

A close look at the growth of Indian English poetry shows that most serious, profound and revolutionary poems are seen after a long way, in this decade as I am talking about poems written by woman. In this postmodern period, we have come across so many Indian woman poets and their poetry shows so many aspects as they find being a woman. Their poetry shows their perception regarding the realities of commonplace and also the problems they have to face in the society they live in. Their poetry sometimes is considered as poetry of self-revelation and confession. They want to create their own space and identity in the family and also in the society. They have broken their long state of silence and celebrate womanhood by breaking the bondage of subjugation to create woman’s existence in the society. So many women poets came out to show these like Kamala Das, Meera Alexander, Imtiaz Dharkar, Gauri Despande, Eunice de Souza and so on. In this paper I want to show how Eunice de Souza shows the gender blindness and discrimination that she has experiences in the male dominated society and how she expresses those with the help of irony and images in her poetry.

Page No.: 2707 - 2711

Mobile phone is widely used by all the sections of people irrespective of gender, caste, religion, race and nation. In India, this mobile telecommunication was introduced in the year 1994 through establishment of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) by enactment of National Telecom Policy. Before the establishment of TRAI, the central government provided the service to the general public through landline mode and that too owned by government. But after the establishment of TRAI, the central government opened the door to the private network services to provide best services to the general public. It means that due to the competition, the private companies come forward to provide best services at a cheap rate. This enables the general public to purchase mobile phone on their own and communicate easily as well as quickly with others as they wish. Therefore mobile phone is the part and parcel of everyone’s life and it became an unavoidable instrument for everybody. The present paper is an attempt to study the using of mobile phone among the rural people in Salem District of Tamil Nadu.

Baishakhi Bhattacharyya

Page No.: 2731 - 2745

Women constitute almost half of the world population. However, their enjoyment of rights equally with that of men is far satisfactory. Gender differences, customs, traditions, social attitudes etc. are mainly responsible for inequality between men and women. Every individuals of the society have equal rights to live, enjoy to equality and to live peacefully in the society .General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10th December 1948. This declaration provides that all men and women are entitled to civil, political, social, and cultural rights without any discrimination. The constitution of India also guarantees the equality of rights of men and women. However, in the sphere of women’s human rights in India, there exists a wide gulf between theory and practice. The women in India in general and Tripura in particular very often have to face discrimination, injustice and dishonor. Though women in India have been given more rights as compared to men, even then the condition of women in India is miserable. The paper will focus on the human rights of women in Tripura and that how all the fundamental rights given to the women are being violated in Tripura, by focusing on the various crimes done against them. This paper also makes an attempt to find out the role of education in promotion and protection of Women Human Rights.

Patriarchy, Feudalism and Colonialism in Sunlight on a Broken Column

Atulkumar M. Parmar

Page No.: 2746 - 2756

According to Simon de Beauvoir: “The curse that is upon woman as vassal consists...in the fact that she is not permitted to do anything; so she persists in the vain pursuit of her true being through narcissism, love or religion.”1 But Attia Hosain’s respects her religion and thus she is not as radical as de Beauvoir. She mentions her views on religion thus: “To me religion was that… well drawing everybody together. It was never out of my mind that I was a Muslim.”2 So in Attia Hosain’s critique of the patriarchal construction of Muslim society is not directed to Islam, rather she opposes the patriarchy for its interpretation of religion as a tool to perpetuate its domination over women. She firmly believes that by just pushing women out of domestic boundaries does not provide freedom for women but their cerebral imprisonment should be wiped out to enhance them. Though she stays in England, Attia’s roots are indigenous. In order to emancipate women she prefers not to imitate the west blindly but she prefers to expose an association of colonialism, feudalism and patriarchy that suppress women as depicted in Sunlight on a Broken Column.

SECURE PACKETS IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS BASED ON FREQUENCY-SELECTIVE CHANNELS

J.Thirumaran & S. Raja

Page No.: 2754 - 2759

Wireless sensor network faces several unique challenges. The scale, resource limitations, and new threats such as node capture suggest the use of in-network key generation. The wireless channel itself can be used to generate information theoretic secure keys. By exchanging sampling messages during device movement, a bit string is derived known only to the two involved entities. Yet, movement is not the only option to generate randomness: the channel response strongly depends on the signal frequency as well. In this work, we introduce a key generation protocol based on the frequency-selectivity of multipath fading channels. We discuss in this paper how to secure packets in wireless networks.

Sustainability, as a term, evolved from the concept of sustainable development. Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, that permit fulfilling the social, economic and other requirements of present and future generations. Sustainable development is high on the agenda in more and more countries in the world during this current era due to significant environment, social and economic problems and opportunities. It is widely believed that higher education is the route to implanting sustainable lifestyles into society and teachers are directly linked to society in many ways. The National Knowledge Commission (NKC) has observed that teachers are the single most important element of the school system and their training is a major area of concern. Therefore, it is important to know that how do teacher educators and future teachers perceive sustainability? What they think toward sustainability and its need in teacher education curriculum. This information provides a sense of pupil teacher needs, wants and expectations for courses that incorporate sustainability topics. In the study, an online questionnaire was also used to gather information. On the basis of result obtained, it is recommended to incorporate sustainability issues/education for sustainable development in various teacher education programs.

Bijendra Kumar

Page No.: 2825 - 2830

Innovation and reform are the two key factors in the development and progress of any education system and its practices and processes. New strategies of teaching and learning are being thought and practiced as most important inputs to bring about qualitative improvement in the education. Cooperative learning is one such approach which makes the students to learn as group to maximize their own and each other’s’ learning. The focus of this strategy is on inter- personal exchange of opinions, intellectual challenge, critical thinking, higher level reasoning-the skills which are highly valued in the age of globalization. It is being increasingly felt that thinking process of students is being suppressed by competitive learning environment prevalent in schools. The cut throat competition encourages negative interdependence. The school curriculum has to aim at not only enabling learners to acquire knowledge. The development of intrinsic values and emotional intelligence of learners are equally important. The cooperative learning helps in all round development of personality if applied systematically.
The paper focuses on the benefits of cooperative learning, provides insights into various cooperative learning strategies, their use in classroom situations and highlights a number of essential elements that must be met for deriving success from cooperative learning strategy.

 Indian rural marketing has always been complex to forecast and consist of special uniqueness. However many companies were successful in entering the rural markets. They proved that with proper understanding of the market and innovative marketing ideas, it is possible to bag the rural markets. It is very difficult for the companies to overlook the opportunities they could from rural markets. As two-thirds of the Indian population live in rural areas, the market is vast than expected. For the companies to be successful in rural markets, they have to overcome certain challenges such as pricing and distribution. This paper on rural marketing gives examples of two companies who were successful in rural areas with their innovative marketing strategies. They found the way-out for the challenges to become successful. They believed that it is patience which is important to gain loyal customers than entering the rural with aggressive marketing. By introducing the products in to rural markets, companies are not changing customers\' tastes and preferences but their habits which is most challenging and in which case if the customer is dissatisfied, it will become more difficult to regain the trust or may be never possible.

SELF GOVERNANCE IN EDUCATION SYSTEM

Vindeshwari Pawar

Page No.: 2895 - 2899

 Self-Governance may be defined in terms of freedom to prescribe courses of studies, methods of teaching and evaluation.   Autonomy and freedom with reference to academic, financial and administrative should be accompanied by accountability. Self-Governance as like in autonomy is to give opportunity to the teachers and students to make innovations like utilize their creative talent, improve the standards of teaching, examination and research and quickly respond to social needs. The autonomy is expected to provide a better framework through a decentralized management culture. Autonomy, when exercised with the sense of responsibility and accountability will inevitably lead to excellence in academics, governance and financial management of the institutions. If it does not lead to this, it can be safely concluded that autonomy has been misused.  Academic autonomy is the freedom to decide academic issues like curriculum, instructional material, pedagogy, techniques of student’s evaluation. Administrative autonomy is the freedom to institution to manage its own affairs with regard to administration. It is the freedom to manage the affairs in such a way that it stimulates and encourages initiative and development of individuals working in the institutions and thereby of the institution itself. Financial autonomy is the freedom to the institution to utilize the financial resources. Autonomy and accountability are two sides of the same coin. Generally speaking, a self-governance college as conceived in the present context has freedom and authority in academic matters.  Briefly stated, it has the right to decide what to teach, how to teach and whom to teach. One of the significant things that most self-governance colleges have done has importance from the point of view of employment possibilities for the students who pass out. They have started courses in applied subjects, which are in demand in the employment market. Some universities have introduced application-oriented subjects as subsidiary or minor subjects. Many autonomous colleges have made use of the greater freedom that now they have to introduce a variety of subjects.Hence, the concept of self-governance was meant to promote academic independence as well as excellence. Autonomy encouraged the introduction of innovations in order to improve standards of education, and gives quality assurance in higher education.
Keywords: Self-governance, Education system, Pattern of study

Page No.: 2917 - 2923

 Interest in Japanese Lesson Study as a model for professional learning is growing worldwide. Many countries are using lesson study after the required adaptations. Lesson Study is a form of teacher professional development that originated in Japan and has been cited as a key factor in the improvement of their mathematics and science education (Stigler & Hiebert, 1999). The Lesson Study process included preparing, observing, and critiquing mathematics lessons in the context of solving fractions tasks. By conducting Lesson Study, we anticipated that these teachers would develop greater insight into students’ mathematics, which would influence their classroom practices. Therefore, the researcher decided to see the impact of Lesson Study on the mathematics teaching.
The objectives of this research work were to orient the primary teachers regarding the process of Lesson Study, to implement lesson study for Mathematics in one standard (one unit) of Mathematics and to study the improvement in the Mathematics teaching. This is a qualitative research where Interview technique was used to collect the data from six Mathematics teachers directly involved in the process of Lesson Study. It was also supplemented with the lesson observations, group discussions and reflections on the teaching. The collected data was analysed qualitatively.
The lesson study group setting provided an encouraging environment and for the teachers to cooperate, collaborate, discuss and share their teaching knowledge and experiences. The participant teachers articulated that their content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge were enhanced and the classroom teaching of mathematics was improved.

INDO-PAK TRADE RELATIONS

Hemant Kumar Pandey & Mohd Margub

Page No.: 2956 - 2968

With the trade normalization process between India and Pakistan gathering momentum since November 2011, new opportunities for enhancing bilateral trade have opened between the two countries. This study estimates the trade potential between India and Pakistan, and examines how this potential can be realized. Using the Trade Possibility Approach for all items traded, followed by selecting only those items in which the countries have a Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) to export, the trade potential between India and Pakistan is estimated to lie between US$10.9 billion and US$19.8 billion. Of the US$10.9 billion trade potential, India’s export potential accounts for US$7.9 billion and import potential US$3 billion. With a large number of items belonging to the negative or sensitive lists, the study estimates the trade potential accounted for by these items. Sector wise analysis depicts that bilateral trade shall receive a boost if the textile sector is liberalized in both countries, with Pakistan liberalizing its automobile sector too. In the services sector, trade possibilities have been identified in Information Technology (IT), Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), health and entertainment services. The study finds that this trade potential remains unrealized largely due to impediments in transport and transit facilities, restrictive visa regime, continuation of large informal trade flows, and presence of ‘perceived’ non-tariff barriers to trade between India and Pakistan. As the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) regime between the two countries is liberalized, the study identifies sectors which hold potential for investments, and are likely to deepen the trade linkages between India and Pakistan.


IMPACT OF GST (GOODS AND SERVICES TAX) ON INSURANCE SECTOR OF INDIA

Ragini Agrawal

Page No.: 2969 - 2973

Banking and Insurance: There is an increase in service tax by 3%. The service tax on banking service and insurance was pegged at 15%, which is now replaced by GST of 18%. There are three major kinds of life insurance products – Term insurance plans, Ulips and Endowments (including money back). The applicability of service tax (in the current format) on their premium is not similar in all three of them. , 25 per cent of the premium in the first year and 12.5 cent of the premium in subsequent years. So, if the premium of an endowment plan is Rs 100, the GST of 18 percent will be applicable on the 25 percent of the premium i.e. on Rs 25, so, Rs 4.5 will be GST amount. The impending implementation of GST would undoubtedly impact one’s personal finances especially when it comes to financial services, albeit marginally. From the present rate of 15 percent, the GST on banking, insurance and investments such as real estate, mutual funds will see a hike of 3 percent as the GST will now be 18 percent on them. Key Words: GST, Insurance Sector, Banking Services, Service Tax.

Titanium (IV) complexes of type [(?5-C5H5)2 TiCl (L)] have been synthesized by the reactions of bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV)dichloride with Schiff bases (LH) derived by the condensation of 5-(substituted aryl)-2-hydrazino-1,3,4-oxadiazole and indoline-2,3-dione in tetrahydrofuran in the impendence of triethylamine. All these complexes are soluble in PhNO2, DMF and DMSO.The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, electrical conductance, magnetic susceptibility, UV-Vis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and XRD spectral techniques. Low molar conductance values indicate non-electrolytic nature of the complexes. The spectral data indicate 5-coordinate geometry for the complexes. XRD pattern evince that the complexes have monoclinic crystal system and particle sizes were found in the range 42.32 nm (nano-size). In vitro antifungal activity of synthesized compounds was evaluated against fungi Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Colletotrichum falcatum and In vitro antibacterial activity was determined by screening the compounds against gram negative (P. aeruginosa, S.typhi) and gram positive (S. aureus and B.cereus) bacterial strains using minimum inhibition concentration method (MIC) by serial dilution technique. The titanocene (IV) complexes have higher antimicrobial impact than the parent Schiff bases. Keywords: Titanocene, IR, NMR, XRD, Antimicrobial
