From a hospital in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, 32 patients with renal failure, who had just started dialysis, were selected by Purposive Sampling method. There were 20 male and 12 female in the age range of 28-55 years. The entire sample was assessed using Case Study Schedule and BDI (Beck, 1971). A brief tailor-made modular psychological intervention was administered on the entire sample individually for 8 sessions, 4 sessions before dialysis and 4 sessions after dialysis. They were re-assessed using the same tools soon after 8 sessions of psychological intervention (Assessment II). The subjects practiced the psychological intervention using Relaxation Therapy CD. After 4 months, a follow up assessment, Assessment III was done using the same tools with Case Study Re-assessment Schedule. Only 30 subjects were available for Assessment III as one had passed away and one was not available after transplantation. Though the subjects had 'Moderate to Severe' depression in all the 3 assessments, the differences in mean BDI scores of the subjects (Assessment I=28.26, Assessment II=23.62 and Assessment III=20.56) were statistically significant, indicating a significant reduction in depression.

The effective position of any organization depends on employees who exhibit spontaneous behaviours that are beyond formal job description, but which are essential for organizational effectiveness. Such extra role behaviors are called as organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB). It is considered as an important factor influencing the organizational success. There is also ample literature regarding the potential dysfunctional consequences of OCB. Most measures used for measuring OCB have been developed in a Western cultural context, and a very few OCB scales are developed in the context of educational institutions. The aim of the present study is to validate the scale which was used to measure OCB in educational institutions in foreign culture and also to draw suitable OCB scale for educational institutions in India. The research design involves assessing the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the measure of OCB scale when used in Indian engineering institutions. A survey design was used to collect the required information. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted to assess the factor structure of OCB. 655 full-time teachers working in 41 engineering colleges located in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India participated in the study. An acceptable three-factor measurement model was derived. It is expected that the scale will serve as a useful tool for researchers and practitioners for measuring teachers' OCB in Indian engineering institution settings.

The small scale industry today constitutes a very important segment of Indian economy. The development of this sector came about primarily due to the vision of late prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru who sought to develop core industry and have a supporting sector in the form of small scale enterprises. Small scale industry has emerged as a dynamic and vibrant sector of the economy. Today, it accounts for nearly 35% of the gross value of output in the manufacturing sector and 45% of the total exports from the country. In term, of value added in the manufacturing sector, the sector's contribution to employment is next only to agriculture in India. Industrialization is the only answer to this present state of disrupted economy. The problem is of the approach which should be direct, utilitarian and pragmatic. Such industries do not require huge capital and hence suitable for a country like India. The small scale industries have a talent of „dispersal.‟ They can be accessible to the remote rural areas of the country and do not lead to regional imbalances and concentration of industries at one place, which is responsible for many economic resources such as entrepreneurship and capital. The planners and the economists in India took recourse to small scale industry because most of these industries existed in the traditional form, which symbolize our heritage and past glory. These still serve as the back bone of our economy, which is mostly rural. It is with this view that an assessment of growth, development and working of small scale industries in the specific region is attempted in this research study. However, before entering into an analytical study of this project, it is necessary to examine the concept of Small scale industry as it has come to be, today, in India.

The motive of the present study was to measure the level of job involvement of college teachers. A total number 240 college teachers working in different colleges of Kolhan were included. Purposive sample was used for sample selection. Factorial design 2x2x2 was used in this study. The sample was based on two genders (Male & Female), two nature of college viz; (Constituent & Affiliated) and two designations (Reader & Lecturers) Job involvement scale developed by A.P. Singh (1984) was administered among the sample to access the job involvement. ANOVA was applied to calculate the data. The result revealed that both gender, both designation & both nature of management differ significantly on their level of job involvement. Furthermore the interaction effect is also discussed.

Student learning in primary schools is one of the most consideration issues for families and those who they are in education system. In psychology they are a lot of ways, methods and scholars for better learning of students. Since, environmental capacities can help us to find new approaches to enable students to achieve their learning potential. A phenomenological method implemented in this paper to identify all effectiveness and weakness concepts for student learning in primary school. In fact, we want to link phenomenological method to environment and student learning help us to make big umbrella to integrate all visible and invisible dimensions of learning. By the better words, reconstruct new subjects point of view and relation between theoretical and practical knowledge in teaching and learning. Students learning in primary schools essentially require involvement, including engagement with the environment and thus for the student to “be in place”. Within the our framework of phenomenological environment aesthetics, learning environment can be described through the concept of place as the meaningful center of human space. Furthermore, all phenomenological methods explorations are through human life style and experiences in any situation and everywhere. Then, phenomenological environment and learning help us to understand relation between theoretical and practical knowledge and know our potentials in environment to increase students understanding.

Since 1960, the Indian government has described the country's Naga insurgency as a grave threat to domestic security. The major causes of continuing insurgency in Nagaland is an Ethnicity, Economic development and political system. The insurgent have made their people promised that their struggling for their own rights .So the Naga people continue to be sympathetic towards the insurgents. The study of the sustaining dynamics behind Naga violence suggests that the rebels are growing operationally stronger due to profits derived from organized crime. The administration in the area has not been able to meet the demands made this demographically complex area.

The purpose of the present study was to find out the significant differences on emotional maturity of secondary school teachers in respect to sex, locations of schools and types of schools of teachers. It was hypothesized that there would be no significant differences on different aspects of emotional competency between male and female teachers, between rural and urban schools teachers as well as those of Govt and private schools. For it, 400 secondary school teachers were selected randomly; out of which were 200 were male and 200 were female teachers. Out of the total sample, 200 teachers (100 male and 100 female) were from rural schools and 200 (100 male and 100 female) were from urban schools. Similarly, 200 teachers were taken from government schools and 200 were taken from private managed but recognized schools. All these teachers were administered Emotional Competency Scale devised by Bhardwaj and Sharma for measuring emotional maturity. The results reveal that significant differences exist on some dimensions of emotional competency between male and female teachers, rural and urban school teachers as well as teachers of the government and private schools.
