The present paper attempts to review the status of women in Hindu law. In the early Hindu society the status of women was an enviable one. They could avail of the highest learning and there were many seers and philosophers among them. Ghosha, Apala, Lopamudra, Vishwvara, Surya, Indrani, Yami, Romasha - all these names highlight the position and the esteem which Hindu women enjoyed in the Vedic period. At that time there was not a single area where women did not take part or excel their counterpart's - men.Hindu Society has a flexible social structure. The social System of Hindus is based on Vedic and sastric ideology. The wife in Vedic literature occupies the position of 'ardhangini'. It suggests that there was equality between men and women in the Vedic period. But in the later periods after the invasion of foreigners and mixing of the exterior ideas women were given the inferior position.

Dyslexia is characterized by an unexpected difficulty in reading in children and adults who otherwise possess the intelligence, motivation and schooling considered necessary for accurate and fluent reading. Recent epidemiologic data indicate that like hypertension and obesity, dyslexia fits a dimensional model. In other words, with in the population, reading ability and reading disability occur along a continuum, with reading disability representing the lower tail of a normal distribution of reading ability. Phonological dyslexia is an acquired reading disorder characterized by a severe impairment in reading nonwords, with otherwise normal (or near normal) reading of words (Sartori et al., 1984). The present paper reviews phonological deficit hypothesis in dyslexia.

The work environment is complex constructs in the organizations consisting of different perceptions, attitude, value, and beliefs which play a significant role in moderating the relationship between work stress and job satisfaction. The major objective of study was to study occupational stress with respect to age and job satisfaction. The sample of 120 (N = 120), 60 male and 60 female physicians of the government hospitals, was randomly selected from the government hospitals in Chandigarh. Occupational Stress Index (Srivastava and Singh, 1981) was used to measure the level of job stress and Job Satisfaction Inventory (Singh and Sharma, 1999) was used to measure the attitude of the physicians towards their job (job satisfaction). Three levels of age (24-29, 30-35, & 36-41) and three levels of job satisfaction (Low satisfaction, moderate satisfaction, & high satisfaction) were taken to see if they differ on occupational stress. Two way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to analyze the data. The findings explored that younger age group had significantly higher level of job stress as compared to the elder age medical professionals. Moreover, highly satisfied participants had revealed significantly lower job stress than low satisfied participants.

The primary objective of the study was to examine the gender differences on the three social motives viz., Achievement (n Ach), Power (n Pow), and Affiliation (n Aff). The total sample consisted of 200 urban adolescent boys (n = 100, M age = 13.77, SD = .132) and girls (n = 100, M age = 13.84, SD = .123). The age range of the subjects, who were drawn from five coeducational schools of Chandigarh city, was 13 15 years. The Adapted TAT (after McClelland et al., 1953) was used for the measurement of the three needs. It consisted of 6 pictures which served as stimulus cues for eliciting stories from the subjects. The TAT protocols obtained were scored by the method of content analysis. The data were then subjected to t tests. Results obtained revealed that female adolescents were significantly higher than male adolescents on intrinsic achievement motivation, fear of success, fear of failure, and need for achievement. Male adolescents were significantly higher than their female counterparts on need for affiliation. The male group also scored significantly higher on hope of power whereas the female group was found to be significantly higher on fear of power. Results are discussed in terms of child rearing practices and changing gender roles. The findings areof particular relevance to Educational and Developmental Psychology.

The aim of study was to evaluate effectiveness of UGC Xth plan scheme of adventure sports among universities and colleges of India. An evaluative survey was conducted on a sample of 1959 subjects, selected on purposive sampling basis from universities and colleges of India. It was found that only 138 universities and colleges of 18 states and 3 UTs organized adventure sports activities for their students during UGC Xth plan period of adventure sports. Results of study further shows that in total 1932 men and women students from Indian universities and colleges participated in adventure sports activities during UGC Xth plan scheme period of adventure sports. Conclusion of various government and non government organizations surveys shows that there were 5762 universities and colleges in India recognized under 2(b) and 12(f) of 1956 UGC act excluding medical, agriculture and private universities and colleges during scheme period. Out of 1932 participants 1624 were male and 308 were female where as findings of study shows that 11867095 male/female students were enrolled with above 5/62 institutions during time period of UGC Xth plan scheme of adventure sports. Results of study concluded that organization level was 2.40 percent and participation level was 0.01 percent collectively as well as respectively among universities and colleges and their students in India during UGC Xth plan scheme period of adventure sports. Introduction of scheme in mid of the Xth plan and uneven organization / participation shows lapses in implication of this well structured plan. Even organization / participation first time in such a large country like India may be encouraged. It is suggested that for overall development, harmonious development and to build up confidence of Indian youth these games must be introduced more effectively in XIth plan by UGC for youths of India.

The current study is a controlled manipulation of the main processing requirements involved in continuous versions of the task that influence dyslexic and non-dyslexic readers' naming speeds. Continuous formats are the original formats used by Denckla and Rudel (1976a, b). In this format, items are presented in a 10 x 5 matrix, and the participant is required to name the items from left to right as quickly as possible, starting with the top lefthand letter and finishing with the bottom right-hand letter. The discrete format involves individual presentation of RAN items in a constant location. It therefore represents a less complex task, in which visual processing and retrieval of only a single item is required. Using this format, it is therefore possible to remove extraneous processing requirements involved in the continuous RAN, such as visual scanning and sequencing of multiple items (Wolf, 1991, p.128). Advocates of continuous formats argue, however, that it is precisely these additional processes that make RAN a consistent predictor of reading fluency.

India has an amorphous middle-class of about 300million people who can afford to by life, health and disability and pension plane products. Of this only 20% have insurance. Even in this small group who do have insurance, only 25% of their need and financial capacity is covered. The remaining 80% have no insurance cover. This paper shows that publicly disclosed mutual fund portfolio holdings contain valuable information about stock fundamentals and future returns. We develop a model to efficiently aggregate this information across actively-managed funds with differential skills to predict individual stock returns. It also understands that how financial markets are also affected by the 'financial behaviour' of investors. With the reforms of industrial policy, public sector, financial sector and the many developments in the Indian money market and capital market, Mutual Funds which has become an important portal for the small investors, is also influenced by their financial behaviour. Hence, this study has made an attempt to examine the related aspects of the fund selection behaviour of individual investors towards Mutual funds. It helps to understand the consumer behavior towards various financial services like insurance and mutual funds. The report enhances the knowledge on how various marketing concepts are learned. This paper will also help to understand the investors facet before investing in any of the investment tools and thus to scrutinize the important aspects for the investors before investing t hat further helped in analyzing the relation between the features of the products and the investors requirements. There is enough scope for the investors to invest money in mutual funds for the longer returns with a lesser risk factor. After analyzing the data we can say that a Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost. This study attempts to establish a model by which to measure attitudes and behavior towards investment risk when positive information is presented, investor perception on structured notes is lower with higher expected remuneration. The present study is descriptive in nature, as it seeks to discover ideas and insight to bring out new relationship. Research design is flexible enough to provide opportunity for considering different aspects of problem under study.

This paper is based on the review of various research papers. The main focus of this paper is to observe “The Indian Life Insurance Sector in Present Scenario”. The paper is being divided into four parts. First part explains the role of the insurance sector in socio-economic development of an economy, role of the Insurance sector in the savings particularly in the long-term savings or investment. Second part of the paper explains the privatization and liberalization of the insurance sector and the history of the Indian life insurance. Third part explains the review of literature and methodology which is exploratory in nature. The data is secondary and collected from the various sources such as journals, annual reports, and websites from the year 1986 to year 2009. The fourth part of the paper which is the final part also, concludes the main findings of the study which are such as, after the privatization and liberalization of the insurance sector IRDA has huge responsibility very first to avoid all the pre nationalization speculation activities and concentration of insurance firms only to urban segment and secondly to avoid malpractices in the funds investment activities. As the insurance sector is very important part of the financial market and financial market stability play a vital role in the stability of the whole economy. On the other side the biggest challenge is to provide all the players (domestic or foreign) the “level of playing field”. To control other problems such as the “price-war” among the firms and simultaneously many developed countries insurance firms has reached almost at the saturation level now they can try to capture the maximum market share in India.
