Learning is a long and endless process. With each passing day, an individual keeps on learning the art of living. As a social being, he keeps on acquiring knowledge, skills and experience directly or indirectly from various agencies-Formal or Informal. He keeps on modifying his behavior and develops an attitude towards life. The Formal institutions play a very important role in the life of an individual. They create a greater impact directly where as the role of society is indirect. But with the balance in the knowledge, experience and acquired skills through direct or indirect sources, a person can develop various qualities necessary to make him self-reliant and strong to pave his way in the society. He is in a better position to handle the worldly issues with more confidence. The more he learns, the better he earns in the sense that if an individual is given an opportunity to understand and learn in a conducive environment, it will be helpful to improve the critical thinking, decision-making and problem solving abilities of an individual irrespective of the age. Since schools forms an integral part in the life of an individual and directly touch the life of an individual, more focus should be given on the teaching-learning methods to connect each phase of their life with the other in compliance to the needs of the society

The term parent-child relationship refers to the unique and enduring bond between a caregiver and his or her child. To understand the parent child relationship, we must look at the ways that parent and children interact with one another physically, emotionally, and socially. Think about your parents. How did your relationship with your parents contribute to who you are today, or did it? Many psychologists believe that the relationships between parents and children are very important in determining who we become and how we relate to others and the world. The study examined the relationship among undergraduate students. The sample included 160 both male and female out of which were 79 males and 81 females. The 10 dimensions of the scale namely: Protecting, Symbolic Punishment, Rejecting, Object Punishment, Demanding, Indifferent, Symbolic Reward, Loving, Object Reward, Neglecting were considered for analysis. The results reveal that there is no significance difference between the parent-child relationship in girls and boys of age 18-21.

Inclusion is a term which expresses commitment to educate each child, to the maximum extent appropriate in the school and classroom. It involves bringing the support services to help and assist the child (rather than shifting the child to the services) and requires only that the child will benefit from being in the class (rather than having to keep up with the other students). Proponents of inclusion generally favour newer forms of imparting education. Full inclusion means all students regardless of handicapping condition or severity will be in a regular classroom/program for whole time. All services must be taken to the child in that setting. Inclusive education has been internationally recognized as a philosophy for attaining equity, justice and quality education for all children especially those who have been traditionally excluded from mainstream education for reasons of disability, ethnicity, gender or other characteristics. Inclusive education is defined by UNESCO as a process of addressing and responding to the diverse needs of all learners by increasing participation in learning and reducing exclusion within and from educational. This means that all children have the right to a quality education that caters to the extent possible to their individual needs. Some countries have been successful in promoting inclusive education practices and policies that remove barriers and create conditions which enable all children to learn. However in poorer developing inclusive countries the process of creating an inclusive system is more difficult. Factors such as lack of available funding, administrative and policy level support, trained personnel and evidence based strategies pose challenges that can slow down progress. In the previous part of this paper author discussed about what is meant by evidence based strategies. In the present paper an attempt has been made to discuss about such evidence based practices and strategies in detail.

Motivation is defined as the inner state of an individual that causes him to activate and engage in a behavior. Motivation, such as in this case, is a prime reason for a person to successfully achieve an a certain goal. This study focuses on the goal of ensuring optimal educational performance and solving pressing engineering problems through the agency of knowledge and personal effort. The unachieved of this goal manifests itself in anxiety and despair for students on the one hand and frustration for teachers on the other. Consultations with engineering professors reveal that the trend of declining motivation among engineering students is more common than previously thought and may indicate the existence of a psychosocial cause for declining employability and performance in core engineering jobs, besides policy and funding related issues. The precursor to the larger issue of drop-outs and shortage of engineering talent is truancy in college, severe neglect of academics and loss of interest in classroom modules. The main focus of this study is to examine the most recurring reasons for dilatory behavior in engineering colleges, failure to seek employment in core engineering jobs and reasons for joining engineering courses in the first place. Findings highlights motivational issues faced by new-generation Indians enrolled in premium institutes as engineering students which can be considered in charting new changes in engineering education in changing times.

Diversification is the new mantra banks must chant; must be new flag-ship of the banking industry. Indeed, diversification is the law of life today, the law that will take counties beyond the danger zones of clinging to one type of business year in and year out. Certainly, the old ways of doing cannot, and should not be abandoned in one stroke; this will be like throwing the baby with the bath water. But new ways have to be discovered and new practices have to be implemented. The purpose of the study is to identify need for diversification in Indian banking sector and its implication. Findings of the study suggest that diversification has to be a strategy, well planned and well executed. An overdose of diversification will create a problem for any sector.

Entrepreneurship is the process of starting a business or other organization. The entrepreneur develops a business model structure, acquires the human and other required resources, and is fully responsible for its success or failure. Entrepreneurship operates within an entrepreneurship 'economic system or we can say ecosystem. In recent years, "entrepreneurship" has been extended from its origins in business to include social and political activity. Entrepreneurship within an existing firm or large organization has been referred to entrepreneurship and may include corporate ventures where large entities spin off subsidiary organizations. Entrepreneurs are leaders willing to take risk and exercise initiative, taking advantage of market opportunities by planning, organizing, and employing resources, often by innovating new or improving existing products. More recently, the term entrepreneurship has been extended to include a specific mindset resulting in entrepreneurial initiatives, e.g. in the form of social, political knowledge entrepreneurship. According to Paul Reynolds, founder of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor "by the time they reach their retirement years, half of all working men in the United States probably have a period of self-employment of one or more years; one in four may have engaged in self-employment for six or more years. Participating in a new business creation is a common activity among U.S. workers over the course of their careers. In recent years, entrepreneurship has been claimed as a major driver of economic growth in both the United States and Western Europe. Likewise, the asian countries also exercise the entrepreneurship in order to promote the economic growth.

Haryana is predominantly a farming state involving 65% of population in agriculture directly or indirectly, in spite of recent industrial development. The state has achieved a notable growth in its agricultural sector, which made Haryana self reliant in food production. But, the farming community is vulnerable to various types of risks and uncertainty in terms of prices and yield of their product. In worst case scenario their entire effort may go waste in the event of a natural calamity. The weather conditions and market oriented environment in general happen to woeful to the stability of their income. The insurance is one the robust tool developed by economics to overcome the risk. But insurance is a financial product and required minimum awareness to get the understanding of its complexity. At present, crop insurance coverage in India is 23% only. States like Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh (western region) are low crop insurance coverage areas. The main reason for low coverage is farmers having little awareness about insurance schemes. They are not aware of how the scheme works. One reason for under-penetration of crop insurance in Haryana may be the most parts of the state are covered under irrigation facilities that protect farmers from conventional weather risks. To insulate farmers against risks in agriculture, government has launched several schemes such as National Agricultural Insurance Scheme and weather index based crop insurance schemes. Recently to stabilize the farm income and overcome the distress among farmers due to crop failure present Indian government has also taken number of steps to promote crop insurance among the farmers. In this process it has also launched a carefully designed crop insurance policy named as Pradhan Mantri Fasal BimaYojana which is accessible and economical to all variant of farmers. The coverage of insurance schemes seems to be limited among the farmers primarily due to lack of full information. In this paper, we have tried to examine about the awareness condition of the households regarding crop insurance. The study has reported the results of a survey of 567 farmers in Haryana conducted to assess their awareness level about various facets of crop insurance and its schemes. The paper also tried to explore the factors affecting farmers' decisions regarding crop insurance. The study found that awareness level of farmers about crop insurance is low due to lack of information.

Over the last two decades, organizational culture has become a buzzword in today's business life. The concept reflects the main norms, customs, traditions and tactics that both senior and junior employees share. Hence, it has become a main determinant for organizational current objectives and future orientation. As organizational commitment determines all employees-employer ties, this concept has attracted much attention in both academic and practical management arenas. Accordingly, and by using quantitative analysis, this study explores the relationship between organizational culture traits and organizational commitment approaches in the context of public primary schools in Menoufia, Egypt. Correlation and regression results show a strong positive association between the culture traits and approaches of organizational commitment.
