Haryana, despite being an economically strong State of India, is suffering from the problem of inter-district disparities in health infrastructure. Among twenty one districts of the State, a few are endowed with better health facilities while others are lagging behind. Consequently, it becomes necessary to study the district wise availability of health infrastructure in terms of hospitals, health centres, beds in medical institutions, doctors, nurses et cetera in State of Haryana so that inequalities can be understood and remedies can be offered. Keeping in view this backdrop, the present study is attempted to examine the inter-district disparities in health infrastructure in Haryana. For this purpose, ten indicators of health infrastructure are selected and their Coefficient of Variation, Ratios and Deprivation and Development Indices are worked upon. At the outset, statistical values of Coefficient of Variation confirm the gaps in the availability of health facilities in various districts of Haryana and variations are found to be highest in case of the available beds in medical institutions followed by hospitals and dispensaries. Further, the findings highlights that in most of the districts, the ratios of health infrastructural indicators including doctor, nurse, bed, hospital, Primary health centre, Community health centre, dispensary to population are insignificant and exploring wide imbalances. Finally, the deprivation as well as development indices of health infrastructure reveal the discrepancies in districts with regard to health infrastructural development. On the basis of these indices it is found that the districts including Bhiwani and Hisar are developed while Rohtak, Sirsa, Karnal, Jind, Sonipat are experiencing moderate level of development in health facilities. Lastly, the third category of the districts are Palwal, Mewat, Panipat, Faridabad, Rewari, Fatehbad, Panchkula, Kurukshetra, Gurgaon, Mahendragarh, Kaithal, Ambala, Yamunanagar, Jhajjar which are underprivileged with regard to the development of health infrastructure and thus, looking for immediate attention with concrete plan of action from Government of Haryana.

The aim of this research was to find out the relationship between Big Five Personality Factors (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism) and Motivated Learning Strategies used by students aspiring for careers through civil services' competitive examinations. To find out whether there existed any gender difference was also studied. Two scales namely, Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire developed by Pintrich, Smith, Garcia, and McKeachie (1991) and NEO-Five Factor Inventory: Short Form developed by Costa, Jr. and McCrae (1992), were used for this study. The total number of sample was 199 (135 Males and 64 Females) and was taken from civil services' competitive examination centers at Pune and Ichalkaranji. In case of male students, the motivational orientation was significantly correlated with conscientiousness (r=.2; p<.01) and extraversion (r=.2; p<.01) and non-significantly correlated with openness to experience (r=-.1), agreeableness (r=-.049) and neuroticism (r=.05). In case of female students, the motivational orientation was significantly correlated with conscientiousness (r=.39; p <.01) and extraversion (r=.2; p <.01) and non-significantly correlated with openness to experience (r=.014), agreeableness (r=-.09) and neuroticism (r=-.12). The relationship of learning strategies was non-significant with openness (r=-.13) and agreeableness (r=-.03) and was significant with conscientiousness (r=.5; p<.01), extraversion (r=.48; p<.01) and neuroticism (r=-.4; p<.01) in case of male students. In case of female students, the relationship of learning strategies was non-significant with openness (r=.04) but was found significant with conscientiousness (r=.62; p <.01) and extraversion (r=.37; p<.01), agreeableness (r=.43; p<.01) and neuroticism (r=-.46; p<.01). No significant difference was found among male and female students regarding motivational orientation (z=.59) towards civil services' competitive examinations but in case of learning strategies, a significant difference in favour of girls was found (z=2.16; p<.05). Regarding Big Five Factors, significant differences were found between males and females in case of conscientiousness (z=3.59; p<.01) and agreeableness (z=2.87; p<.01). For other factors, namely, openness (z=.57), extraversion (1.24) and neuroticism (.08), no significant gender differences between civil services' aspirants were found.

Differences between High Achievers and Low Achievers on cognitive, motivational, emotional and environmental variables were examined. The sample comprised of eighty school students (N=80) drawn from a Kendriya Vidyalaya School located in Puducherry. Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM), Study Involvement Inventory (SII), Reynold's Adolescent Adjustment Inventory (RAASI) and Parent Involvement Scale (PIS) were the instruments administered. The two groups differed on emotional attributes. Notably, differences were observed between the High Achievers and Low Achievers on the dimensions of aggression, abasement, antisocial behaviour and anger control problem. The findings underscore the role of emotional adjustment in academic achievement and allude to the complex interplay of emotion and cognition in learning. Identification of specific noncognitive factors has implications in developing effective guidance and counselling programs, targeted intervention designs and in the planning of teacher education, training and development of educational modules and policies.
