Page No.: 1108 - 1117
Administrative discretion is need and inclusive growth is the purpose. It must be the slogan and aim of every country. Administrative discretion can become curse for the country if it transform in arbitrariness. Administrative discretion is useless if it unsuccessful to get the inclusive growth. Mostly countries had adopted the concept of welfare state. To fulfill this purpose administration had required for some discretion. Administrative discretion is a means to get the aim of welfare state. India also had adopted the welfare concept. So the power of administrative discretion had also conferred for administrative officers. Administrative discretion was given to get the inclusive growth. I want to say through my paper that administrative discretion and inclusive growth both are going to parallel in India. There are many problems in sits way e.i. corruption, misbehavior, negligence and arbitrariness. Professor Dicey thought that administrative discretion is against Equality, and it becomes the cause of arbitrariness, discrimination and unjust so the purpose of inclusive growth may be fail. Key Words- Arbitrariness, Discretion, Welfare, Ministerial Action, Rule of Law.

Page No.: 1141 - 1150
The present study has been conducted to highlight the impact of change in relative humidity on the moisture contents of different kind of woods. Quite often, one finds that the doors and window frames exhibit different dimensions in the month of rainy seasons and hot summers. Such problems are more prominent in the areas witnessing significant changes in relative humidity level over the entire year period as compared to those where relative humidity remain in a constant range throughout the year. The engineers and interior decorators are therefore required to take into consideration this behavior of wood while using wood for constructing furniture, wooden floors and ceiling ,etc. to prevent any deformity in the structure at a later date. Preventive measures such as leaving gaps between two adjacent pieces of woods or filling up with some other material may be used to deal with this kind of problem. Further, the amount of dimensional change also varies with the kind of wood being used. The study has been conducted in Delhi-NCR region which faces phenomenal changes in the relative humidity level in one year time and therefore many people experiences such problem in their wooden doors and windows. Under this study, different pieces of Teak and Black Oak wood having same dimensions were exposed to varying level of relative humidity in different months and the change in their dimensions were recorded. Statistical tests – t-test and ANOVA were used to test the statistical differences in the dimensions and inferences have been drawn. Based on the observations, meaningful conclusion and suggestions have been made.

Internet is becoming a widely accepted channel for information exchange and networking. It is experiencing tremendous growth and development in its size and numbers of users all over the world. The benefits of the internet have been widely researched and include keeping in touch with friends, making vacation plans, managing finances, assisting with educational needs etc. Despite the positive effects of internet, there is growing literature on the negative effects of its excessive use. The goal of this research is to examine the degree to which the students are addicted to Internet usage and the impact of Internet addiction (IA) on their academic success and mental health. While most young people today are consistently exploring all phases of Internet connections, there is a plethora of debate as to what constitutes leisurely use of the Internet and where the border lies between such use and a non-transient addiction. Therefore, our first goal is to determine a concise measurement for IA that will distinguish levels and usage patterns that will stipulate when one should be considered addicted and when not. As a result, we developed a comprehensive set of questions to measure this degree of IA. Key Words : Internet Addiction Academic Performance And Mental Health

It is interesting to know the kind of initiative that has taken by the state Government for the Empowerment of Vendors in Goa. The State Vendors policy, Strategies, Programmes are the political Manifestos during the Municipalities or Corporation election of the political parties which forms the Local Self Governments. It is out of these Strategies that the Political parties the makers of Government boast and claim of having extended basic amenities, financial and a rapid expansion of infrastructural development in the Market area. However, what the political party promises during the entire election period and the propaganda that follows for the entire election year are conveniently and deliberately forgotten once they form the Government. Though there are certain constitutional safeguards Which are provided for protection of vendors right there is in fact no Significant Economic and Social awareness required for the fulfilment and achievement of lofty objective that are enshrined in the various provisions of constitution and even the tiny vibrant state like even Goa is not exception to it. The Present condition of the Vendors in Goa is such that their various developmental policies, Strategies, Programmes are not implemented during the successive five year plans and therefore, it has also had adverse impact on their socio-economic mobility. Their unsecured livelihoods position in terms of lack of legal entitlements & have push them into deep economic vulnerability. This paper therefore, discusses the implications of the new Act’s and Protection of livelihood of the Vendors and further attempts to address the issue which will enquire, whether such act will finally lead to the inclusion of these people into the National mainstream. This is based on books, journals, and newspaper. The data collected from Goa Trade Unions Confederation of Goa is also used here. Keyword: - Livelihood, Good Governance, Policy, Legal status.

Page No.: 1185 - 1189
Often in any domain we seek the help of Experts for better decision making and a systematic approach. But these ‘Experts’ are very few in number and this limited availability on other hand may lead to a stagnation in the decision making or problem solving. What can be done as a remedy here? If we are able to explore and transmit the so called ‘Expert Knowledge’ to the novices, to an extent these sorts of difficulties can be solved. It is here where Expert Novice studies can be thought as an alternative. Expert Novice studies involve natural contrasts between individuals at relatively high performance levels in a given domain (academic, discipline, profession or hobby) and individuals at a low performance level in that given domain. In the teaching learning scenario if such researches are implemented it could serve as a better solution for taking right decisions at right time. This paper throws light to Expert Novice studies as a research strategy and its role in educational research.

Page No.: 1247 - 1253
In the paper, the researcher attempted to assess Professional Adjustment status of teachers working in Government and Private institutions on a sample of 792 teachers. Teachers have been classified into two categories viz. government and private teachers. To evaluate the status of professional adjustment of teachers, a tool viz. "Manual on Teachers Professional Adjustment" was used which was prepared and standardized by the investigator. The reliability and validity of the tool were found 0.89 and 0.66 respectively. On the basis of percentile rank and professional adjustment scores, professional adjustment status of teachers have been classified into three levels viz. well-adjusted, average-adjusted low-adjusted. Analysis of data was done by t-test and 2 test through SPSS version 13.0 and Prism 3.0. This study reveals that there is a significant difference between professional adjustment of government and private teachers. Even, proportions of professional adjustment between two groups are statistically significant at three levels of adjustment. The serious concern is that only 12-19% teachers are well-adjusted, 13-13% teachers are low adjusted and around 6470% teachers are average-adjusted. The result clearly shows that the teachers who are working in government institutions are professionally better adjusted than the teachers working in private institutions.

The new challenges are there and the engineering profession has to face it, confirming the need to restructure engineering curricula, teaching and learning practices, and processes, including assessment. Engineering graduates possessing merely technical knowledge is no longer a guarantee for a successful career. As a professional, the aim of the student is to succeed in the career path they have chosen for themselves. They want to be the best at what they do and move forward. However, sometimes students might wonder why they are not getting the “breaks” they need. Basically they have the hard skills; the technical knowledge and skills that will ensure that they do their job to the highest level of quality. And while all countries are facing this dilemma, India is also struggling the most. It has been argued that most Indian engineering educational institutions are struggling with the systemic problem of centralization coupled with an archaic examination system that is detrimental to student learning. This article examines some internationally renowned educational institutions that are embracing the growing importance of non-technical subjects and soft skills in 21st century engineering curricula. It will then examine the problems that India faces in doing the same. The 21st century has arrived, bringing with it new social, economic and environmental challenges. The world has become a global village. The new challenge for engineering is how to produce goods and services, and develop infrastructure, without damaging the environment.\' Carbon footprint\' is the new buzzword in any engineering project. In the last century, there were three constraints: humans, material and money. Engineering education needs a new paradigm if it is going to successfully train future engineers to fulfill society\'s new demands.

Context administration in pervasive/epidemic computing environments must reflect the particular qualities of these environments, e.g. dispersion, mobility, asset obliged devices, or heterogeneity of context sources. Despite the fact that various context models have been displayed in the writing, none of them backings these necessities to a sufficient degree in the meantime. In this work, we exhibit a complete furthermore incorporated methodology for context modeling in pervasive computing environments . The proposed scheme flawlessly integrates two underlying cryptographic primitives, blind mark and hash chain, into a profoundly adaptable and lightweight authentication what\'s more key station protocol. The scheme gives express common authentication between a user and a service while permitting the user to namelessly cooperate with the service. Separated service access control is additionally empowered in the proposed scheme by arranging mobile users into diverse service bunches. In this work, we examined security issues and their current results in the mobile ad hoc network. This study depicts the crucial problems of ad hoc networking by providing for its related exploration foundation including the idea, gimmicks, status, and requisitions of MANET. Neighborhood Discovery (ND), namely, the discovery of devices directly reachable for communication or in physical proximity, becomes a fundamental requirement and a building block for various applications.

Page No.: 1429 - 1439
Fraud is a crime where the purpose is to appropriate money by an illegal form or method. Fraud leads to large losses to businesses or States or individuals. Since its detection is complex, there is not yet a fraud detection framework that can detect and prevent fraud in an efficient& accurate way. Almost any business enterprise that involves money and services can be compromised by fraudulent acts. Such areas as Capital Markets, Social Security, Insurance, Telecommunications, Financial Institutions, and Credit Cards are examples of where fraud may occur and where, in the recent past, there has been an effort to develop methods to combat this type of financial fraud. Each one of the areas has specific characteristics; therefore, a single solution that may be deployed to fight fraud in Credit Cards cannot be applied to Insurance industry. As a consequence, one of the approaches to fight fraud is to pursue a model that describes fraudulent behaviors, or, better, create mechanisms that distinguish fraudulent from non-fraudulent behaviors.

Page No.: 1513 - 1520
Technology innovation is an important feature of teaching and learning in the 21st century. Integration of new technologies into education has been a chief concern in many countries. The introduction of technology to the field of education has entirely changed the traditional way of teaching and learning by revamping and practicing technology in the field of education. These innovative practices include use of computers, audio-visual aids, web portals, internet browsing, digital textbooks, mobile connectivity, video conferencing and webinars, etc. With advancements in technology and the push from industry to have a well-educated and highly specialized workforce, the importance of the integration of technology has reverberated throughout education (Barcelona, 2009; Proserpio & Gioia, 2007). No doubt Government of India is investing a huge sum of money on equipments as well as on teacher training, yet adaptation of technology in each and every classroom is a topic of research. This study took into account all such factors which affect the use of technology in education.

Alka Dutt & Rajat Kr. Sant
Page No.: 1533 - 1542
In present scenario of teaching, many teaching methodologies are available over past 1980s onwards and all are intended to make a student to shine more. This kind of teaching and learning methodology are helpful to both under-graduate as well as post graduate students to enhance their independent learning skills and teachers to achieve more in the teaching field. The different types of learning methodologies are as follows: Group Learning, Peer learning and Self Learning. The first category of group learning is the way to learn over groups, whether it may be a small or large group. This is also known as Shared-Learning, so, that the group learning methodology creates a way of student to expose their knowledge with others in group and share their ideas with one and another. The second category of learning is called peer learning, in which the peer learning methodology is used as a learning/teaching toolbox, which is used to improve the learning independence to learners as well as allow them to share their ideas to other peers' over the network. The common term of peer is considered to be the bi-directional perceptions; both the ends can act with same principles and power. The final category of learning methodology is called Self Learning, in which it meant for reactive teaching and learning principles. This self learning principle issued for two diverse norms, one is for boosting the reactive teaching nature and the other one is for an alternative to the dependent teaching and learning nature. By using the self learning principles all the students can improve their knowledge by means of available sources such as internet, smart mobile phones and etc. For all this paper is intended to analyze the teacher education programs based on three different kinds of learning methodologies such as group learning, peer learning and self learning. These different types of learning approaches are collaboratively called Intelligent Combined Learning Approach, which provides an enhanced learning and teaching skills to the teachers and make the students well in good manner.

ADVANTAGES OF E-LIBRARIES
Girand Singh
Page No.: 1573 - 1579
Digital libraries, designed to serve people and their information needs in the same way as traditional libraries, present distinct advantages over brick and mortar facilities: elimination of physical boundaries, round-the-clock access to information, multiple access points, networking abilities, and extended search functions. As a result, they should be especially well-suited for the
disables. However, minorities, those affected by lower income and education status, persons living in rural areas, the physically challanged, and developing countries as a whole consistently suffer from a lack of accessibility to digital libraries.
This paper evaluates the effectiveness and relevance of digital libraries currently in place and discusses what could and should be done to improve accessibility to digital libraries for the disabled persons (divyangs).
Higher education researchers have developed several models to explain how students choose whether to attend college Past research on college access has been theoretically grounded in economic and sociological arguments, but both theoretical models acknowledge the importance of information. Human capital investment theory explains college choice by assuming that people are rational actors who decide whether and where to attend college, with the intention of maximizing their expected benefits and minimizing their anticipated costs. These rational actors are expected to make the best decision given the information they have; however, “differential access to information” affects their abilities to make the best decision for themselves of social and cultural capital suggest that the predisposition to attend college is mediated through social networks that support college attendance and access to cultural knowledge that is derived from class or cultural statuses. Structural barriers make it harder for people outside the designated social network to access resources that support college attendance, including information resources and supports
