What to choose as one's future career is among the most significant decisions a young person makes in life. Adolescence is an important period during which decision about the future is made and career is carved out, but unfortunately many adolescents experience episodes of career indecision. The aim of this research is to determine if career thoughts, parental support, and career decision-making self-efficacy can predict adolescents' career indecision. The study utilized the descriptive correlational method as its design and the participants were chosen through purposive sampling procedure with 538 adolescent-respondents. Results showed that adolescents' career indecision significantly correlated with career thoughts, parental support and career decision-making self-efficacy. Regression analysis using R² showed that 56% of the variation in career indecision is attributed to predictor variables. Results imply that when adolescents boost parental support and self-efficacy and reduce dysfunctional thoughts they would tend to improve their career indecision. Thus, a career guidance program focusing on the three predictor variables must be developed and implemented as a tool to help adolescents make appropriate career decisions in life.

Monetary policy may either be defined in a broad or in a narrow sense. Defined in a broader sense, monetary policy not only includes monetary measures but also non-monetary measures which have monetary effects. In this sense, monetary policy covers a wide range of policies and measures. It includes not only monetary measures which influence the cost and availability of money but also those non-monetary measures which influence monetary situations. Thus, non-monetary measures such as control of prices or wages, physical control, budgetary measures, income policy measures, etc. would be included within the scope of monetary policy defined in broader sense in so far as their primary aim is to influence the monetary situation.

The famous writer Mr. E. L. Normanton states in his Book titled “The Accountability and Audit of Government” states “without audit, no accountability, without accountability, no control”.The main object of commercial audit is to present before the proprietor or proprietors of the business an accurate statement of the position of affairs together with a Profit and Loss Account showing how this position has been reached. In the case of companies the duty of an auditor is mainly in the interest of the shareholders, who are practically sleeping partners in the business. On the other hand the Government is responsible to spend the money which is collected from the public in shape of Taxes and Levies. As such the Government Audit is rather more important than that of the commercial audit and was recognised during pre-independence era with the introduction of constitutional Reforms of 1919. The necessity and importance of Government Audit has increased day by day as the Governments have involved in more and more activities by using the public funds.

The purpose of this study is to explore self-efficacy and optimism as a predicator of organizational commitment among academicians in private and public sector institutions. Self-efficacy is a belief in one's capacities and the positive attitude towards life.Organizational commitment is state that binds the individual to organization in which they work. Several studies have revealed that self-efficacy and optimism as a significant predictor of employee's attitude to organizational commitment.Literature on the relationship between self-efficacy, optimism and organizational commitment supports the notion that self-efficacy and optimism is an important determinant of organizational commitment.Teacher's Self-efficacy and optimistic behaviour is one of the important variable in education over 25 years now. This variable impacts student's outcome like students achievement scores. In Indian Academic scenario work has been done on self-efficacy and optimism as a predicator of organizational commitment but not much has been done when we compare academicians of private and public sector.Teacher's self-efficacy has been found to relate to positive student and teacher behaviour's, and has a positive effect on educational system and its improvements which leads to the commitment towards the organization.Several studies have shown that academicians from public and private sector institution also differ in terms of their commitment towards the organization.

Inclusive education refers to a system of education in which all children learn together in a regular school or class with their peers irrespective of whether others have difficulties in learning or development. Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) has adopted a zero rejection policy. This means that no child having special needs should be deprived of the right to education and taught in an environment, which is best, suited to his/her learning needs. These include special schools, Education Guarantee Scheme (EGS), Alternative and Innovative Education (AIE) or even home-based education. The major thrust of SSA is on inclusion or mainstreaming CWSN into the fabric of formal elementary schooling. Owing to lack of knowledge, educational access and technology, disabled children were initially treated as unwanted and segregated from other children. Later their education was carried out in special schools. In recent times there has been a shift towards having children with disabilities attend the same schools as non-disabled children. The educationists now feel that each child should be allowed to learn in his own way. The concept of inclusive education has been spelt out in the Salamanca statement and the framework for action on special needs education 1994. It states that all governments have been urged to "adopt as a matter of law or policy, the principle of inclusive education, enrolling all children in regular schools unless there are compelling reasons for doing otherwise". The basic premise is that the school should meet the educational needs of all children irrespective of their disabilities or limitations.

Higher Education is a powerful tool for achieving economic sustainable development. Foreign Education Providers interest is growing rapidly to explore the potential in the Indian education market. Higher education provided by public/private and not-for profit/for profit providers and various forms of imparting education ranging from face to face education to e-learning in internationalization scenario, all this demands for urgent strategic reforms with specific policy guidelines. Some of the recent changes such as replacing Planning Commission with NITI (National Institution for Transforming India) Ayog (Jan, 2015), and Human Resource Development Ministries direction to get clearance of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in future for 'global partnership within the national interest', are initiatives by the newly formed NDA government. Keeping in view the HRD Ministry's announcement to release new policies to revamp higher education, certain facts needs to be considered while formulation. The number of Indian students flying westwards rose to 6% to 1,02,673 for 2013-14, reversing the three year trend of declining number of Indians at US colleges. Last year they contributed $27 billion to the American economy, of which India's share money spent was $3.3 billion. Another study (British Council study) showed that around 30,000 students from India were studying at UK in 2011-12, and increased to 40,000 in 2012-13. Also in many other eastern countries universities the number of international students including Indian students are increasing. However the enrolment status of foreign students in Indian Universities is meager and there is less focus on student and teachers exchange programmes. The estimates are that by 2020 there will be 165 billion people seeking higher education, including 7.2 billion international students. These above situations emphasis to ponder in the direction to attenuate new business requirements for Indian education system, such as marketing and publicity, visa norms, quality of education and trainings at all levels; and make education system more flexible and inclusive for sustainable growth. Effective measures are required in academic and administrative reforms in order to become responsive to the needs and challenges of internationalization in higher education. This paper discusses various aspects of contemporary developments in higher education and recommends guidelines for formulation of appropriate policies.

Academic self-concept is defined as how a student feels about oneself and one's ability within academic setting. Academic self-concept is found to influence not only the school-related activities and achievement, but also the future goals and academic aspirations of students and well-being in general. Given the crucial role of academic self-concept in student's performance and well-being, this exploratory study aims to investigate the influence of academic self-concept on academic achievement of students (180 higher secondary students; 50% girls; aged between14-17) in Dindigul, Tamil Nadu. Academic Self-concept was measured by the standardized Academic Self-Concept Scale while Academic Achievement was measured by annual marks obtained in the current academic year (2014-15). Results show a positive correlation between academic self-concept (ASC) and academic achievement (AA). Gender and domicile are found to influence the correlation between ASC and AA. Findings highlight the need to adapt ASC to achieve AA rather than the traditional and stressful methods, and thus envisioning a positive learning context that enhances student well-being.
