Every generation pass on their skills and knowledge to the next generation for their survival, growth and development. Still there is an ever changing need and demand both from the individual as well as the society not just to acquire existing knowledge and skills but also to acquire new ones as our society is very dynamic and it keeps changing. Education is the only means to acquire existing and new skills and knowledge in order to meet the needs and demands of the ever changing world and society in which we live. Since these needs and demands of the society keep changing, it becomes difficult as well as not feasible for the formal system of education to fulfill all the demands through it. It becomes imperative to have an alternate system of education. Alternate system of education emerged sometime during the late nineteenth or early twentieth century to fulfill the existing gap and needs of the individuals as well as the society. These gaps and needs exist due to various reasons like the opportunities available in the main stream education system do not always cater to the needs of individuals from different socio-economic and cultural background, in terms of access to main-stream schools and also to individuals needs of learning style, class structure, teaching methods and evaluation. The teacher is the one who plays a crucial role in the actual transaction, execution and implementation of any educational programme; be it in the mainstream or in the alternative education set up. Teacher education owes the responsibility to prepare such well equipped professionals who could take up the instrumental role in the preparation of teachers who can contribute to different educational set ups. This paper is a case study of an educational institution situated in the city of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh in India. The school conducts its classes using an alternative system of education and it also conducts innovative training practices, for in-service teachers, both for their own school and also for teachers from other schools. This research paper explores the philosophy, innovative practices, problems and challenges of the institute and how it caters to the needs of the students and teachers and the teachers perspectives on in-service teacher education provided by the institution. To know the experiences of the founders and teachers who are parts of the institute, data was collected through semi structured interviews from the founder and director of the institution and also from the teachers of the institution. Observations are taken by the researcher using participatory and non participatory method and data was taken in the form of written field notes. The data is transcribed and analyzed qualitatively and conclusions are drawn.

Inclusion is a step further in main streaming as it presents a means "by which a school attempts to respond to all pupils as individuals by reconsidering and structuring its curricular organization and provision and allocating resources to enhance equality of opportunity to ALL. Through this process, the school builds its capacity to accept all pupils from the local community who wish to attend and in doing so reduces the need to exclude pupils".Leaner diversity means having student with different types of learning styles and needs. Diversity has many dimensions including significant individual and group differences in culture, ethnicity, gender, previous educational experiences, optimal modes of learning and groups of students with unique sorts of challenges as socio-economically disadvantaged, English language learners and students with disabilities.

Rural indebtedness has deep roots in the country. The mounting burden of rural debt has crippled the rural economy. Agricultural strategies are mainly related to farmers with large land holdings. The facilities are not accessible to small and marginal farmers. These conditions adversely affected the small and marginal farmers as they are vulnerable to crop losses and price fall. They take loan to fulfill their agricultural and non-agricultural needs. Therefore, the issue of farmers' indebtedness becomes a matter of intense debate for whole of the country and as well as for Haryana. In this background, the present study was conducted to assess the status of farmers' indebtedness in the Southern region of Haryana State in detail. The results of the study indicate that an average amount of loan of Rs. 162087.00 was taken by respondents from institutional sources and non-institutional (Rs. 67865.00) for the purpose of agricultural and non-agricultural needs. It was suggested that respondents should be motivated for taking loan from institutional sources of loan and encouraged to adopt crop insurance scheme.
