Copyright form
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.
Proof reading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting or conversion errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Ethical Guidelines for the author
• Authors should adhere to publication requirements that submitted work is original and has not been published elsewhere in any language. Work should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co-publication. If articles are co-published this fact should be made clear to readers.
• Copyright material (e.g. tables, figures or extensive quotations) should be reproduced only with appropriate permission and acknowledgement.
• Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors’ own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced.
• Data, text, figures or ideas originated by other researchers should be properly acknowledged and should not be presented as if they were the authors’ own
• All sources of research funding, including direct and indirect financial support, supply of equipment or materials, and other support (such as specialist statistical or writing assistance) should be disclosed.
• Authors should disclose the role of the research funder(s) or sponsor (if any) in the research design, execution, analysis, interpretation and reporting
• The research literature serves as a record not only of what has been discovered but also of who made the discovery. The authorship of research publications should therefore accurately reflect individuals’ contributions to the work and its reporting.
• In cases where major contributors are listed as authors while those who made less substantial, or purely technical, contributions to the research or to the publication are listed in an acknowledgement section, the criteria for authorship and acknowledgement should be agreed at the start of the project.
• Researchers should ensure that only those individuals who meet authorship criteria (i.e. made a substantial contribution to the work) are rewarded with authorship and that deserving authors are not omitted. Institutions and journal editors should encourage practices that prevent guest, gift, and ghost authorship.
• All authors should agree to be listed and should approve the submitted and accepted versions of the publication. Any change to the author list should be approved by all authors including any who have been removed from the list. The corresponding author should act as a point of contact between the editor and the other authors and should keep co-authors informed and involve them in major decisions about the publication (e.g. responding to reviewers’ comments).
• Authors should work with the editor or publisher to correct their work promptly if errors or omissions are discovered after publication.
• Authors should abide by relevant conventions, requirements, and regulations to make materials, reagents, software or datasets available to other researchers who request them. Researchers, institutions, and funders should have clear policies for handling such requests. Authors must also follow relevant journal standards. While proper acknowledgement is expected, researchers should not demand authorship as a condition for sharing materials.
• Authors should follow publishers’ requirements that work is not submitted to more than one publication for consideration at the same time.
• Authors should inform the editor if they withdraw their work from review, or choose not to respond to reviewer comments after receiving a conditional acceptance.
• Authors should respond to reviewers’ comments in a professional and timely manner.
• Appropriate approval, licensing or registration should be obtained before the research begins and details should be provided in the report (e.g. Institutional Review Board, Research Ethics Committee approval, national licensing authorities for the use of animals).
• If requested by editors, authors should supply evidence that reported research received the appropriate approval and was carried out ethically (e.g. copies of approvals, licences, participant consent forms).
• Researchers should not generally publish or share identifiable individual data collected in the course of research without specific consent from the individual (or their representative). Researchers should remember that many scholarly journals are now freely available on the internet, and should therefore be mindful of the risk of causing danger or upset to unintended readers (e.g. research participants or their families who recognise themselves from case studies, descriptions, images or pedigrees).
• The appropriate statistical analyses should be determined at the start of the study and a data analysis plan for the prespecified outcomes should be prepared and followed.
• Researchers should publish all meaningful research results that might contribute to understanding. In particular, there is an ethical responsibility to publish the findings of all clinical trials. The publication of unsuccessful studies or experiments that reject a hypothesis may help prevent others from wasting time and resources on similar projects. If findings from small studies and those that fail to reach statistically significant results can be combined to produce more useful information (e.g. by meta-analysis) then such findings should be published.
• Authors should supply research protocols to journal editors if requested (e.g. for clinical trials) so that reviewers and editors can compare the research report to the protocol to check that it was carried out as planned and that no relevant details have been omitted. Researchers should follow relevant requirements for clinical trial registration and should include the trial registration number in all publications arising from the trial.

Pages: 326-331 The present study investigated the role of communication satisfaction on organizational commitment of the employees in the automobile sector. The sample consisted of 133 managerial employees from automobile organizations. The communication satisfaction of the employees was measured by a scale (Down & Hazen, 1977) consisting of eight dimensions namely communication climate, relationship with superior, organizational integration, media quality, horizontal communication, organizational perspective, relationship with subordinate, and personal feedback. The organizational commitment scale (Allen & Meyer, 1996) measured the commitment level of the employees on three dimensions namely, affective, continuance and normative commitment. Statistical analyses showed that all the dimensions of communication satisfaction were significantly correlated with affective and normative commitment in the automobile organizations. However, continuance commitment was not significantly correlated with all the dimensions of communication satisfaction. The stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that relationship with subordinate and supervisor communication emerged as a significant predictor of affective commitment. Media quality and relationship with supervisor emerged as significant predictors of normative commitment. Communication climate emerged as the significant predictor of the continuance commitment. The findings have implications for the quality of communication in automobile sector and emphasise the positive relationship that exists between communication satisfaction and organizational commitment of the employees.

Pages: 323-325 Education system is in a transition phase which witnessing drastic changes and reforms in entire education system. And this become possible with the help of Information and Communication Technologies. Information and communication technologies (ICT) have become commonplace entities in all aspects of life. Across the past twenty years the use of ICT has fundamentally changed the practices and procedures of nearly all forms of endeavour within business and governance. Education is a very socially oriented activity and quality education has traditionally been associated with strong teachers having high degrees of personal contact with learners. The use of ICT in education lends itself to more student-centred learning settings. But with the world moving rapidly into digital media and information, the role of ICT in education is becoming more and more important and this importance will continue to grow and develop in the 21st century. In this paper, a literature review regarding the use of ICTs in education is provided and will help us to know the ICT aids to help the stake holders in delivery of quality education. This paper will help us in understanding the concept of ICT and how it is beneficial for teaching learning process.

Pages: 318-322 In Indian context, women are major producers of food in terms of value, volume and number of hours worked. Nearly 78.0 per cent of women are engaged in agriculture as compared to 63.0 per cent of all economically active men. Almost 50.0 per cent of rural female workers are classified as agricultural labourers and 37.0 per cent as cultivators. About 70.0 per cent of farm work was performed by the women. Though they participate in a variety of economic activities yet their potential is still underutilized as most of their work remains unpaid and never measured in socio-economic and technological terms. In this study efforts have been made to recognize the entrepreneurial attributes and to enhance capacity building of women in medicinal and aromatic plants activities in diversified agriculture for entrepreneurship. Hisar district of Haryana was selected purposively having State Agriculture University and other State and Central institutions pertaining to agriculture and allied areas. A sample of 200 respondents was selected from four villages namely Mangali, Kaimri, Rawalwas and Shapur. Results revealed that majority of the respondents reported high category for Creativity (57.5%), Self-confidence (53.5.0%), Change proneness (47.0%) and Rationality in thinking (46.50%) for personal competencies, launching competencies, commitment competencies and managerial competencies, respectively. Significant gain in knowledge of the respondents was observed for all the ten components about medicinal and aromatic plants diversified agricultural activities for capacity building of the respondents.

Pages: 314-317 Sustainable development of any country largely dependents on the health and education of women of that particular society. A higher women literacy rate improve the quality of life both at home and outside home, by encouraging and promoting education of children, especially female children and in reduce the infant mortality rate and so on. There are so many factors are responsible for the low literacy rate of women education in India. Some of the important factors which could be attributed for the present literacy status of women in India are Poverty, social system, girl child as substitute to mother, poor school environment, early marriage, social discrimination etc. To improve the literacy rate of women the Government of India has taken a number of ambitious programme, but still it has certain areas of concern, which are primarily responsible for un-fulfilment of the goals of gender equality, women literacy and women empowerment.

Pages: 305-309 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 Pages: 305-309Anu Verma Puri (Department of Public Administration, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, Haryana ) |

Pages: 294-299 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. Pages: 294-299Samineni Hilda David and Priscilla Keren.

Pages: 290-293 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.

Pages: 279-286 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.

Pages: 276-278 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.
