Knowledge is power - this insight is at least four centuries old, formulated by philosopher Francis Bacon during the Enlightenment. His statement has lost nothing in terms of relevance and significance: Knowledge is power, and education is the fundamental precondition for political development, democracy and social justice. This paper explores how African writer Ngugi Wa Thiong’o establishes the relationship between the language and power in the process of decolonising the mind. On the other hand, Freire‟s generative themes is a student centered system of learning that challenges how knowledge is constructed in the formal education system and in society at large. Freire’s student centered approach stands in stark contrast to conventional educational practice, which he referred to as the “banking approach” to education. Freire has been able to draw upon and weave together a number of strands of thinking about educational practice and liberation .His theoretical innovations have had a considerable impact on the development of educational practice all over the world.

The most awaited dawn of Indian Independence, along with the gaiety of freedom also brought the gloom of Partition of Indian sub-continent in 1947. The Political and geographical Partition was succeeded by religious fanatism which resulted in unprecedented dance of death and destruction. The religious turbulence threw millions of people haywire across the borders. Women were the victims and the worst sufferers in this communal vendetta of Men to seek revenge on one another. This aspect of the suffering is much focussed to criticise the ‘other religion’. Unfortunately, the suffering induced on Women by the Men of their own community in the guise of ’protectors’, is rarely spoken and recorded. Saadat Hasan Manto recorded this untraversed truth of the suffering afflicted on women in the short story ‘Open It’ (Khol Do). Therefore this paper attempts to speak about this unspoken savagery plagued on Women during the Partition of the Indian Sub-continent.

The nature of laws that govern the financial sector, as well as the quality of the institutions that enforce those laws, will largely determine the shape, size and depth of the financial sector. Of particular importance are the laws and institutions that facilitate/ promote or discourage/inhibit secured lending by influencing the ease with which agricultural and other rural assets can be used as collateral. These laws need to be reviewed and amended from time to time and financial/legal literacy and credit counseling in rural areas need to be continuously provided to users in order to ensure orderly growth of rural financial markets, since these are two issues of particular concern for the development of Rural Financial Markets(RFMs) in most developing countries. The experiences also confirm that mere establishment of an appropriate enabling environment does not guarantee that people will use their assets as collateral or use them prudentially. In rural areas, peoples’ understanding of their rights to own property and utility value of property owned is not adequate for them to seize available opportunities for their socio-economic development that their ownership makes possible. Efforts are, therefore, necessary to make them fully aware/educate potential borrowers as to the rights and responsibilities associated with property ownership, which can help them leverage their assets while understanding the risks in doing so.

Depending on stores or shops, offers branded and counterfeit apparel and accessories to the consumers to buy from. This availability of wide varieties of product confuses and bewilders the average consumer. Counterfeit products are imitations of brand name products. They are the look-alikes or spell alike of actual brand products. Counterfeit products tend to have fake company logosand brands. In case of goods, it results in patent infringement or trademark infringement. Though prohibited, production and availability of counterfeit is growing by leaps and bounds. The growth in counterfeiting clearly has an economic impact in the marketplace and on the manufacturers of brand products and social status of the consumers. This paper discusses various pertinent issues like factors affecting consumer buying decisions and to make consumers aware of taking wise buying decisions, opinions of various stakeholders in the process of branding and counterfeiting.

The result of the study also indicates that strong and powerful brand in the market are those brands whose counterfeits are available on high rate irrespective of its illegitimate. The production of counterfeit apparel and accessories is a crime and its sales are serious threat to both the manufacturers of the branded apparel and accessoriesand for the welfare of the consumers who purchase counterfeit apparel and accessories.Through this study, an attempt is been made to understand need for branding so that the manufacturers, retailers, and ultimate consumers remain unaffected by counterfeit products.

Government data suggests that only one out of every seven children get the opportunity to go to college. The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) for higher education is poor (13.8%). This is a situation to worry so far as higher education in developed countries are concerned. Report suggests that no Indian institute was listed in the top 200 universities in a global ranking. These data are sufficient enough to understand that lack of quantity and quality both are the major challenges to our higher education system. There are some other issues which affect both the quantity and quality, hence higher education. Improper governance decreases the chances of creating additional capacity as well as quality in spite of having policies RUSA. Lack of adequate infrastructure is another major concern that should be taken care, as appropriate physical environment is the basic need for education. Although the job market has increased manifold but still remains far behind from the demand. It is also a matter of concern that majority of students are jobless even after completing higher education. Improper use of human resources is also an issue of concern. Problems are many but we have to find out the solution with a positive attitude to implement those at ground level.

The Bollywood Industry is estimated to be worth INR 126.4 billion in 2014. Though the share of
other revenue streams is on the rise, domestic theatrical (i.e. box office or ticket window)
collection is dominating one i.e. 74% of overall revenue generation in 2014. Bollywood is a
powerful medium that provides useful and entertaining information on history, civilization,
variety of cultures, religions, socio-economics and politics in various regional languages. India
boasts of more than 12,000 screens enjoying a weekly admission of about 100 million people or
5000+ million per year. Indians view cinema as an important part of their lives. It also provides
them, with its universal appeal, an alternative from the monotony and the hustle and bustle of
their daily lives. In recent times, few films have performed like never before in terms of
collection. In fact, in the recent past, the export sales of many Indian movies were higher than
the domestic sales. This research paper attempts to find out the trend of domestic theatrical
collection of Hindi bollywood industry. It also attempts to identify the weekend collection rate,
successful quarter and success rate of Hindi bollywood industry for the last four years from 2011
to 2014 for the purpose of this research. After the analysis of the study, researcher suggests that
bollywood industry (i.e. hindi cinema) and also the regional cinema has favourable climate, at
present, in India. Nearly 50% of the cost is covered in the first weekend itself from the box-office.
But for the long term success of the film, it is the script department where focus is needed.

WOMEN’S EDUCATION IN NINETEENTH CENTURY BENGALI WOMEN’S WRITINGS

SHOW PDF Certificate
Women’s education was one of the most important social reforms in nineteenth century
Bengal. History books enunciate the role of mostly male and some female reformers in the
development of women’s education. This paper, however, seeks to go beyond the patriarchal
meta narratives and argues that common women not only struggled for and achieved
education, but also used the power derived from education to argue for more widespread
reforms for women in the sphere of education besides reforms in marriage, widow
remarriage, nation building and sartorial reforms. Excerpts from the personal reflective
writings, especially articles in the progressive journals of the era, have been used as
evidence. The paper seeks to establish that education not only granted women a sense of
agency but through writing also equipped them with a means of symbolic resistance which
allowed the women to challenge the patriarchal structures of authority in the society.

B. S. Parimal

Page No.: 375 - 393

SHOW PDF
 The 21st century is known as century of Technology and the aim of technology is to improve the lives of human beings. Assistive Technology can be defined as equipment and software that are used to maintain or improve the functional capabilities of person with a disability.  Technological innovation has dramatically altered the landscape of both preventive and therapeutic approaches to students with dis¬ability.  Assistive Technology interventions measurably enhance students with learning disabilities immediate and long-term academicals performances. Assistive Technology play significant role in prevention and treatment of students with disability. Technical innovation has had a dramatic impact on a central arena of primary dis¬ability prevention: the reduction of serious, disabling injuries in children. In general, children with disabilities rely more heavily than other children on technical interventions, including medications, special¬ized medical and educational services, and a variety of assistive devices. Childhood disability cannot be fully under¬stood without a clear appreciation for the power and machinery of technical innovation in the modern world. Technical progress in both preventive and therapeutic interven¬tions is constantly reshaping the character and prevalence of students with disability and therefore its essential challenge to both the health and education communities. Computer technology has the potential to act as an equalizer by freeing many students from their disabilities in a way that allows them to achieve their true potential. The results reflected an improvement in student achievement as well as an increase in their attitudes about the use of the technology. Teacher’s perceptions also are positive regarding the use of assistive technology to treat Disabled students. Assistive technologies can evoke both positive and negative sentiments from users. The number of students with disability   is increase from 10% (1970s) to 15% (2010) in the technological world (WHO, 2010). Assistive devices and technologies can provide social and emotional benefits to users with disabilities. However, these benefits may be countered by negative side effects, such as stigmatization or feelings of helplessness and dependence on technology.
