The present paper examines the association of student achievement in mathematics with home environment. Three variables connected with home viz. Socio-Economic status of Parents, Education of Parents and Maternal Employment were taken up to study the effect on student achievement. The sample of study consisted of 500 (250 boys and 250 girls) of tenth class students drawn from government and private schools of Jalandhar district. The results of the study revealed that there was significant difference in the attainment of concepts in mathematics between high Socio-economic status group and low Socio-economic status group, also a positive relationship between maternal employment and attainment of students was found on the other hand attainment in mathematics was found to be independent of level of education of parents.

This paper attempts to provide a solution to teaching students with differences. Many teachers resist with finding ways to reach individual learning styles and desires. One teaching method that can accommodate for this variety of learning styles is Howard Gardner\'s Multiple Intelligences. This article attempts to provide a brief indication of the eight multiple intelligences associated with Howard Gardner\'s theory. Each of the intelligences encompasses certain characteristics and these characteristics lend themselves to particular professions, discussed in the paper. The article also suggests specific teaching methods and ways for educators to incorporate the intelligences into their daily lesson planning for practical use in the classroom. This, in turn, allows each child to learn in a way that is associated to his or her strengths, solving the age-old dilemma of how to meet the individual differences of individual students.

Translation studies have become the need of the hour and its development will take place as programmes in world literature expand and the vital role of translation in the propagation of world literature will continue to be highlighted. The etymology of the word ‘translation’ suggests that meaning is picked up bodily from one culture, transported across a frontier, expresses it across the chasm which separates a language from the other and deposited unaltered on the other side. Edward Sapir has rightly said that different languages represent different world views, that it is not simply a question of rephrasing when one moves into another language. The paper will begin by evaluating the Sahitya Academy award winning novel Chemmeen of the Jnanpith winner and Malayalam literary stalwart Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai with a kaleidoscopic view of linguistic provenances. Languages develop over time and words accrue significance. The main challenge faced by the translators is how far they are able to convey the same meaning without causing any damage to the subtle linguistic nuances and cultural flavor to a target language. The intended study likes to throw light upon the role of translation in the field of comparative literature and how it enables us to “read between the lines”. Albeit the medium of expression remains same in translation, it undergoes a tremendous change vis- a -vis contexts when there arises the need of precision, elaboration, addition of facts for the clarity of facts, etc. in a target language from the source language.
Keywords – Translation studies, fisherman community, cultural nuances, linguistic subtleties, comparative literature

India is the birthplace of many different religions. India, being a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious society and multi-cultural society celebrates holidays and festivals of various religions. Throughout the history of India, Indian culture has been heavily influenced by Dharma religions and most influenced are Hinduism and Islamic religions. Conflict between Muslims and Hindus is perhaps nowhere more acute than in India, where historically Hindu and Muslim populations have struggled with co-existence. The culture of India is different and diverse. India\'s languages, religions, traditions, dance, music, architecture, food, festivals and customs differs from place to place within the country. The Indian culture, often labeled as an combination of several cultures. Mark Tully is one the world\'s leading writers and broadcasters on India. Mark Tully has written a lot about India and mostly about its social, political. cultural and religious aspects.Mark Tully\'s analysis of India and its problems are quite disruptive. He makes no attempt to hide the realities. The "Kumbh Mela" by Mark Tully is extracted from his book \'No Full Stops In India\'. Tully, in his essay describes Kumbh Mela as on the greatest religious festivals of India. Lakhs and Lakhs of people gather during this festival. More than five hundred religious organizations take part in it. It is of course a great religious festival, the world\'s largest we are told, but there is much more to it than just the great bathing day, spectacular though that In the essay, Tully describes and focuses about the cultural differences between Hindus and Muslims. This essay portrays a different side of India\'s Cultural diversity and also focuses that after so many years of independence, people of India still live in the cage of blind beliefs and superstitions.

Socio-economic status (SES) is a multidimensional term. Today SES is deemed to be a hyper - dimensional latent variable that is difficult to elicit. Socioeconomic status is a latent variable in the sense that, like mood or well -being, it cannot be directly measured (Oakes & Rossi, 2003) and it is, some-what, associated with normative science. Finally, it converges to the notion that the definition of SES revolves around the issue of quantifying social inequality. However, it poses a serious problem for the researcher to measure the socio-economic status of migrant workers for short duration during the course of the year. Even in the absence of a coherent national policy on internal migration, millions of Indians are migrating from one destination to another with different durations (Chandrasekhar, 2017). The Andaman & Nicobar Islands(ANI) is no exception and a large number of in-migration is taking place throughout the year. Towards this direction, an attempt has been made to examine the socio-economic profile of migrant Muslim workers who have come to these Islands from West Bengal and Bihar in search of earning their livelihood. An intensive study has been conducted to assess their socio-economic well-being, literacy, income, health hazards, sanitation & medical facilities, family size, indebtedness, acculturation, social status, etc. This study reveals that their socio-economic profile in these Islands are downtrodden, nevertheless they are in a better state than their home town.
Keywords: Socio economic profile, health hazards, indebtedness, sanitation, acculturation.

In my paper I have tried to study the 9/11 causes and its consequences revolving around Don DeLillo’s novel Falling Man. The plot of Falling Man revolves around the 9/11 incident in a circular manner which starts from the attack and finishes at the same point and shows the change in an individual in the likes of Keith and other characters greatly throughout the novel. I also intend to analyze 9/11 incident in the lights of science and politics and the loopholes in the system which gave way to the attack. Falling Man is quite symbolical as it represents the falling humanity and falling of ethics and faith at the same time. Throughout the novel, Lianne sees an artist nicknamed Falling Man in various parts of New York, who suspends himself upside-down with rope and a harness in the pose of the man in the famous photograph of the same name by Richard Drew. It is not just the man who is falling from the skyscraper tower but its humanity which declines and divides people on the basis of religion, region or nation.

Jhumpa Lahiri’s novel The Namesake is about self-awareness and discovery of one’s identity between the orthodox tradition of the east and independent lifestyle of the west. The narration is rich with ethnical subtext and reference, laid out in a coherent and crystal clear manner, depicting the events of Gogol’s life at an uninterrupted pace, over a period of about forty years. The novel depicts the life of Gogol Ganguli from birth until middle age, recording his battle to discover his own self as a second-generation immigrant. Gogol initially struggles with his unusual name and later with the traditions his parents assert on upholding.

Politics of a text is couched in the particular language, form and style used in the text.The narrator at the beginning of the novelThe Gypsy Goddess claims that it is not a postmodernist novel. This paper will attempt to show how this novel fits into the definition of postmodernism. Diverse social issues are also dealt with in the analysis of the novel, where the major issue is the Kilvenmani Massacre of 1968. The heinous caste atrocities in a small village are the microscopic representations of the same at the national level. Besides, the rifts from the canonical Indian literary tradition and the emergence of Dalit Literature have also been focussed in this paper.

The UNESCO initiated Faure Report (1972) proposed the adoption of Life Long Education as the master concept of educational policies for both developed & developing countries. A major cause for the growing significance of Lifelong Learning worldwideaims at the present features of the job market. However, Lifelong Learning keeping the basic tenets of learning intact should be far beyond the economic issues & consumerism. It encourages equal participation of the public in learning irrespective of their class, caste, gender & economic status which have significant value implications as well. However, a closer look suggests that the basic protocol of Lifelong Learning is missing in today’s era of globalisation. In most of the developing countries it is viewed as a response to the economic crisis & the challenge of the knowledge economy neglecting the humanitarian values, democracy & citizenship. In gross, what we face today is – “value crisis”.The query whether integration of value education is necessary in lifelong learninginitiated the researchers to conduct a case study on Jute mill workers of North 24 pargana district of W.B. The study reveals that value based lifestyle management programmes have considerably improved the working environment.

Chunking cum acrostics technique based on letters and colours have been developed to assist the geography students of secondary schools to recall the names of all countries of the world spontaneously and accurately with minimum outlay of time and effort. Geography students thus need to be able to memorize the names of countries and continents correctly whenever necessary. This memorising strategy is especially helpful for the students of third world countries where the concept of digital class rooms are not well exercised. The effectiveness of the strategy was measured by administering it upon the students of class nine with respect to the conventional teaching method. It was also observed that the extent of retention of information is greater in case of study group rather than the control group those are not exposed to the treatment.

Today’s pedagogy gives value to the voice of learners and their questions, their abilities of making argumentation and justification, synthesizing and analyzing knowledge and their involvement in the process of inquiring science in a collaborative set-up rather than their ability of rote memorization. With the pedagogical shift in science here pedagogical shift in science teaching is correlated. The movement towards pedagogical shift in teaching-learning of science can be augmented by critically focusing among the teachers and learners, the constraining influences and promoting collaborative efforts aimed at overpowering them. For any qualitative change from the present situation of science education, a shift in pedagogy from a fixed body of knowledge to the process of constructing knowledge is urgently required. It is important to encourage inventiveness, creativity and critical thinking in learner rather than developing competency. NCF 1975, 1988, 2000, 2005, 2009 (NCFTE) and NPE 1986, Policy on teacher education – 2014 all are responsible for pedagogical shifting in science teaching. To achieve this goal learner centric constructivist approach is authentic in present context. Consequent to the implementation of NCF-2005, a shift in pedagogy is taking place in our country. There is also a shift in our understanding of process of learning and about learners in the classrooms.

A broad model of understanding that provides learners of a specific area with viewpoints and rules on how to look at the areas problems and how to solve them is called paradigm. Paradigms gain their status because they are more successful than their competitors in solving a few problems that the group of practitioners has come to recognize as acute. When specify paradigm reaches a stage of maturity and limitations of the paradigm are established, a new paradigm emerges breaking the limitation of the existing paradigm leading to a shift which is profoundly called a paradigm shift. This paper presents the paradigmatic shift that has taken from Behaviourism to Constructivism in field of education.
