Kashmir valley has been witnessing killing, strikes, protest demonstrations, curfews, human right violations and many other forms of violence from last few decades. Past literature has confirmed that one of the main outcomes of exposure to violence is the increase in the level of aggression. Aggression can be defined as any behaviour intended to hurt or harm someone. In adolescent girls aggression is not a unitary construct: it can be physical, verbal or relational. Emotions that adolescent girls internalise frequently emerge as anger and this anger is then acted out as aggression towards self or others. The present study tries to compares the level of aggression among girls of Jammu and Kashmir Regions. The sample of 100 students studying in 11th and 12th standard with age range between 15-19 years was taken. The data was collected from two groups living in two regions; Kashmir (considered to be high affected region) and Jammu (considered to be relatively low affected region).Aggression scale developed by the researcher ,was used to assess the level of aggression of both the groups of girls. Students t-test was used to compare the groups. The findings suggest that two groups of girls differ significantly in terms of their aggression level, with girls from Kashmir region showing significantly higher level of aggression as compared to girls from Jammu region.

Education should be about more than just information giving, storing and regurgitating, if it to prepare us for a fast moving , ever changing world and lives which will see futures we can currently hardly predict. It is probably fair to say that there are few challenges and crises in the human situation which are to do with a lack of information, we are creating it at an incredible, exponential rate. Human happiness however, will be much more to do with our ability to build relationship, to cooperate with others to work effectively, to solve problems, to think and act independently and responsibly, to predict and plan to take decisions and manage consequences to continue learning, especially from experience, to accept and welcome diversity, to manage change, to mature through life stages, to maintain our health and well being and support others to do the same. The focus of this paper is to create the awareness of positive life skills and to find out the opinions about implementation of positive life skills education, positive life skills curriculum, issues & challenges for B. Ed. students.

The present study was designed to compare male and female school students on the basis of their self esteem and level of aggression. The study also attempted to find out the difference among tribal and non-tribal school students in regard to their self esteem and aggression. Therefore, the study was carried out at Agartala, the capital of Tripura, a small state in the North Eastern part of India where people of different religion, caste, and community live together. Overall 200 school students (100 male and 100 female students) from both tribal and non tribal community were selected purposively and data were collected from them using Basic Information Schedule, Self Esteem Inventory and Aggression Scale. The findings revealed significant difference among male and female school students in regard to both the mental health variables, indicating that male school students possessed high self-esteem as well as high aggression in comparison to their female counterparts. Again tribal school students possessed low self-esteem but high aggression than their non-tribal counterparts. The paper suggests that for mainstreaming the culturally and socially isolated tribal population proper counseling services should be provided to them particularly to the female tribal school students to enhance their self esteem which will in turn help them to achieve academic success as well as to adjust more adequately with the outer world.

Jammu and Kashmir, the northernmost border state of India has reached approximately 1.25 Crore population (Census, 2011) which is an increase of 23.71 percent from the past decade. The sharp increase in population growth and decline in mortality rate has increased pressure on the educational system by way of increasing the demand for access to education. The state which has a literacy rate of 68.74 % has been grappling with many problems including poverty, lack of resources for maintaining the huge educational infrastructure and the continued violence which has hit the education sector badly since past 20 years. Special and inclusive education is in practice in J&K as it is in the other states of the country. But the State Government has not been able to do much for special children in the state. The present paper would try to focus on the Status, Challenges, Responses and Prospectus with regard to Jammu and Kashmir. It would also explore issues like bias against children with special needs, insufficiency of funding, no access to expertise and public services and the parental biases towards children at special needs.

This study examines parental factors and achievement motivation and its relation to performance of adolescents. The sample comprised of sixty students of class 11th. The research is based on their expected and achieved scores of class-10. To assess achievement motivation and parental factors the questionnaires are used. Data was analyzed using two way analysis of variance and multiple regression statistical analysis. Results indicated that High performance group of students have more achievement motivation in comparison to Low performance group of students. The scores on parental factors are also high in High performance group. Amongst the four parental factors, Parental approval emerged as the most significant predictor of achievement motivation and performance followed by resources made available by parents, parental encouragement, and parental pressure. The high performance group girls are more future oriented with high level of aspiration as their expected and achieved scores are less discrepant, however, the same is not true for low performance both boys and girls. They expected more and achieved less than their expectation. These findings imply that in the order to improve children's education, parental approval warrants the future orientation.

Drawing upon the Job Characteristics Model (Hackman & Oldham, 1975) and the fact that employees can be motivated without necessarily spending money, the study focused on proposing a program for an enhanced intrinsic motivation in the workplace by highlighting, articulating and assessing the job characteristics and job satisfaction of the 228 respondents in the four Catholic institutions within Metro Manila. Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS, 1976) and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaires (MSQ, 1977) were used to measure the Job Characteristics and Job Satisfaction of the respondents, respectively. The respondents were only those on regular employment and non-academic. Results indicated that although there is some remarkable difference in the job characteristics and job satisfaction of the respondents (the two measurable variables) yet there is a 2-tailed correlation between them. A program for the enhancement of an intrinsic motivation was proposed from the analyzed results.

Today, teams and organizations face rapid change ever before. Globalization has increased the markets and opportunities for more growth and revenue. However, increasingly diverse markets have a wide variety of needs and expectations that must be understood if they are to become strong customers and collaborators. Most organizations don't know how to prepare their employees to handle these changes effectively and thereby increase the organization effectiveness. The role of leaders plays an important role in bringing change initiatives in the organizations. The present paper aimed at explaining the importance of leadership effectiveness in bringing organizational change by exploring various theories and research studies.
