The challenge arising from the 'social dimension' is that conceptually it is not prescriptive. It does not describe explicitly what to do. Instead, the notion of social dimension is normative. It sets out a lens from which to view the world. A social dimension is a holistic approach to improving the performance of work life. It postulates that there are intrinsic links among, social, environmental and economic and well-being (Torjman, 2000). Switch in any one dimension will have an influence upon the other dimensions. From a social perspective, consistent performance cannot be sustained without a healthy environment and is equally unlikely in the absence of a fool proof system. While the desired objective of human sound is clear, it is not easy to establish precisely which parts to include in the social sphere. Its relationship to the economic dimension, such as quality of work and level of income, are more prominent. But its relationship to the environment and the environment and economy together is more difficult to articulate (One could argue that environmental challenges are primarily social issues in that they are essentially a function of human behavior). Besides understanding the relations among the environmental, economic and social spheres, there are questions as to whether specific social actions are more consistent with the concept of sustainable development than others. While there are no definitive answers, there appear to be some key directions that arise from a studied interpretation of the concept.

The purpose of the study was investigating perceptions of teachers and students about teachers' pedagogical content knowledge, teachers' practices of PCK, and correlates of practicing PCK with academic result of students. This research was conducted based on mixed research design (descriptive survey & correlational) and quantitative research approach. 74 Teachers were comprehensively considered and 257 students were selected randomly as respondents of the study. Adapted questionnaires with a five likert scale were administered. Document review was also used to extract Students' cumulative grade point average from the registrar. Data analysis was made by using standard deviations, arithmetic Means, independent t-test, and Pearson correlation and regression coefficients. The result indicated that there was no statistically significant mean difference between teachers self-rating and students rating on teachers' classroom practices of PCK; all the constructs of PCK practices and students cumulative grade point average have statistically significant relationships. And last the cumulative effect of classroom practices of PCK was found to be with R-square=22.9 which accounts 22.9 % effect for students' academic result. This paper argued that provision of continuous and transformative professional training, arranging workshops and subject specific rigorous supervision to teachers on their practices of PCK should be given priority to improve quality of teaching and effective learning.

The questionnaire was prepared and modified into google form for data collection. The “Mann Whitney U” test was used to assess effectiveness of students by using instructional tools between the 2 groups', viz., Rural and Urban, which was computed based on p-values, analyzed by using IBM, SPSS version 25. To ascertain constraints, the content analysis, frequency and percentages were used. The knowledge, attitude and awareness showed urban students were more significant than rural expect extent of use of instructional tools. Constraints faced by the students who are from rural areas are internet connectivity and lack of infrastructure facilities and require more training compared to urban. It can be deduced that compared to rural, the students from urban learning environments were having more effectiveness in use of instructional tools during COVID.

COVID-19 which originated in the city of Wuhan, China was declared as pandemic by WHO in February, 2020. It spread at an alarming rate and created the situation of panic all over the world, which forced most of the countries including India to go for complete lockdown. All the industries were affected but hotel industry was one of the worst hit. Mass cancellations of accommodations and bookings were faced by hotels. They had to pay salaries even without earning a penny. Some projects which were at initial stage were called off from the fear of losses. The industry was given no relief by government even in stimulus package. Even after re-opening of hotels the occupancy rate stayed very low. The revenue per available room fell drastically and so did overall revenue of the industry. Half of the industry was left unemployed. As the international travel was restricted so the FTAs also decreased drastically. Present study highlighted the issues and challenges faced by hotel industries during corona period in India, which will guide the policy makers in planning policies and strategies regarding promotion of hotel industries in better way

The world is leading for economic developments still there are many women who haven't got the same literacy as men as well as are far behind in labor participation and earnings. This study provides the insight of why women empowerment is the need of the hour, how SHGs and Micro enterprises have helped the women to develop globally over the time and what are the other needs that need to be tackled for smooth developments in near future. The study focuses on the facts that gender discrimination has been driven down due to women empowerment except for the poor and unprivileged households, where patriarchy still exists. Also it is shown in the study that how the empowerment of women provides them considerable status and decision making power in the family and influences their opportunities as equal to men counterparts.
