Kaushiki Tripathi and Manisha Agarwal (Department of Psychology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh)

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.

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.

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.
