Elaborate design begun to surface in different parts of the world. In mother India the 'panja dari' weaving forms a cultural essentially and yet in facing a several decline as even local favour has dwindled over the past 2-3 decades. Several reasons are being for the showdown of the projected process right from the lowered raw material production of suitable threads to the weaving all purpose dari with complicated designs. The utilization of these daris has for year's dictated their usage. These have been culturally ordained uses of the 'panja' dari.

Socio-economic empowerment has been understood to be the mainstay of development initiatives in India and the developing world. The role of women tends to get underplayed especially in terms of social capital. The work participation of women tends to remain latent and unacknowledged in terms of adequate remuneration. Elements of caste, class and religious grouping tend to further aggravate the position of the women on the socio-economic ladder. Many of the programmes and initiatives taken up by the government and the corporate sector have suffered setbacks due to the invisibility of the women in the social capital of the region. Not only are the women not acknowledged as partners in economic progress they are waylaid on the road to development of women's participation in the district's economy which are considered and which are ignored in the gradation of women's inputs and contribution on a regular established basis.

The apparel industry in India has experienced a tremendous upward surge in exports as well as the domestic market. These trends have been the result of newer markers in the industrial manufacturing processes. Market watchers have analysed these changed circumstances and have come up with a number of observations. These signs indicate that there is scope for improving manifold the current status of Indian based apparel products in the world market. The researcher has closely studied the production process of units in northern India and found the singular gatekeeper to the attainment of optimum sales to be located within the manufacturing process undertaken. The world apparel markets have progressed to the idyll of zero defects. India and more particularly, northern Indian apparel manufacturers have been riding high on the benefits of comparatively cheaper labour and raw material availability. However, the past decade has seen an overwhelming increase in the number of rejections. Several manufactures have been severely hit as they have had to suffer losses because of undue investments made on speculative orders. The researcher has attempted to examine the plight of the apparel units in the perspective of the changed world scenario in apparel purchases. Piles of rejected products have driven manufacturing units to revisit and reconsider their policies, approach and process programmes. This paper looks at the various lacunae and issues that have been afflicting the Indian apparel industry. The reasons, the remedies and the future approach have been examined.

Insomnia is a condition wherein a person has problems regarding his/her patterns of sleep. Falling asleep, being unable to remain asleep are examples of disrupted sleep patterns. Some insomniacs have trouble falling asleep and remaining asleep. The subject must also suffer some degree of impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of daytime functioning such as “tiredness, lack of energy, difficulty concentrating, and irritability”. In this study we have assessed the altered state i.e. sleepiness in real- life situations among insomniacs. For this we took a sample of 200 people, 100 control group and 100 insomniacs and applied Epworth Sleepiness Scale to assess sleepiness. The study reveals that Daytime Sleepiness among insomniacs was more prominent. Our findings suggest that the assessment and treatment of insomnia-related complaints should be included in any overall plan of care designed to optimize sleepiness as well as other important clinical outcomes.

Various committees have worked on it and have recommended required and essential steps in the form of different National Curriculum Frameworks to de-stress students along with other stakeholders including teachers and parents. While modifying aims, methods, means and modes of education as per the changing scenario of the nation, examination has never been neglected or underestimated by concerned reform committees of curriculum frameworks. This paper is an attempt to study different curriculum frameworks published by NCERT in order to analyze the major structural and procedural changes they have introduced to improve and bring reform in examination system.

The contribution of Indian Railways to strengthen National Integration is unprecedented. It is the third largest railway network in the world. It provides connectivity to all the states of the country including urban, sub-urban, hilly, remote areas. It not only links the different regions within the country but also connects India with neighboring countries also such Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh etc. IR is one of the most suitable and economical modes of transportation. It touches the life of the citizens directly or indirectly in one way or the other. A large population of the country is dependent on IR. But the past experiences reflect poor delivery of passenger services resulting in dissatisfaction among the passengers. This adversely affects the relation between the users and the providers of IR.
