In the present study, the researcher has explored the characteristics of 21st century spiritual and political leaders through a review of literature and case study approach with an attempt to unlock its relevance in the context of the present psychosocial make-up of society. The leadership ideologies of the Political and spiritual leaders were compared and contrasted on the basis ofinterpretations by columnist, editors, writers or readers. From the review of literature on leadership, a primary question that arose was how effective is leadership in the political and spiritual context in the present times? If leadership is a process of giving purpose to collective goals and expending efforts to achieve these goals (Jacobs &Jacques 1990), then does the present day leadership work towards this purpose? The major thrust of the present discussion was to draw the attention of the reader towards the connectivity between John Knights transpersonal leadership model and approaches taken by spiritual leaders and their explanation of how political leadership could be shaped that way. The conclusions and summarizations emphasize on development of empathy and emotional intelligence as key factors so that awareness and insights that emerge from all leaders, would then finally facilitate the transformation process in their followers.

The present article deals with the vision of traditional & modern values in education in India. Indian tradition is a very complex thing and not an articulated or self-consistent or unitary concept, and so are the values incorporated in it. The ideal of education has been very grand, noble and high in ancient India. Its aim, according to Herbert Spencer is the 'training for completeness of life' and the molding of character of men & women for the battle of life. In modern Indian Education thought “Simple living and high thinking” is becoming an outdated nation. Increase in one's needs and desires and the efforts to fulfill them all has become the philosophy of life and education in the modern world. Because of the wave called 'Modernization' many changes occurred in education process. These changes in education process are inevitable. But also it is necessary to consistently comply with the respective culture and tradition and make a substantial connection between what is traditional and what is modern. One should not avoid changes because of tradition & also should not neglect tradition because of modernization. Essential connections should be made in both what is called tradition and what is called modern.

Internet banking allows customers of a financial institution to conduct financial transactions on a secure website operated by the institution. With the rapid and significant growth in electronic commerce, it is obvious that Internet banking and payments are likely to advance. However, it has raised many public policy issues before the banking regulators and government agencies. Interestingly, reliable and systematic information on the scope of Internet banking in Indian context is still not sufficient, particularly what it means to the consumers and the bankers. There is a need to understand the perception of the consumers towards the adoption of internet banking. But the research in the perception of internet banking is scarce and partial. This paper attempts to accumulate literature in order to understand the effect of perception of the consumers on adoption of internet banking. The literature reviewed provides underlying patterns of relationship between internet banking and its influencing factors. Such understanding is relevant for academicians and researchers for furthering the work in this field. The insight into the previous studies, considered for this paper is discussed.

Job satisfaction can be defined as a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one's job or job experiences. Sixty per cent of those surveyed said job dissatisfaction was a leading reason people make unethical decisions at work, second only to lack of personal integrity, according to the 'Ethics and Workplace' survey conducted for Deloitte and Touche, USA. Also, 91% said workers who enjoy a good work-life balance are more likely to behave ethically. Organizational commitment is strength of the feeling of responsibility that an employee has towards the mission of the organization which is an essential criteria for work place values. The present study aims to understand the job satisfaction and organizational commitment of 60 Part-time and Guest Lecturers of Government aided colleges in Kolkata and suburbs of West Bengal. Part time teachers and guest lecturers are the lifeline to most of the colleges in West Bengal. They perform all the duties assigned to them by the colleges with due responsibility. Yet they are in a precarious position so far as their future is concerned. Guest lecturers are worst off in this regard since they are recruited periodically, only in the full academic session every year and dismissed as soon as the slack session begins. The result of this study shows that there is significant difference in job satisfaction and organizational commitment among Part-time & Guest Lecturers. The mean value for job satisfaction has been found to be higher for Guest Lecturers whereas organizational commitment is higher in case of Part time Teachers. From the study, we can conclude that Part time Lecturers are much more committed to their organization, if the variables that are related to their job satisfaction are enhanced, they will perform better and their quality of work life will be enhanced whereas if job security of Guest Lecturers is ensured, then their overall performance and commitment would increase.

In the decades since independence, Indian education has been the site of several attempts to make curricula more meaningful and relevant to the reality of Indian social and economic life. Education has been seen as an important tool of nation building, a space within which the citizen is moulded and shaped, with the values that are desirable in a modern, just and free society. Can Media Pedagogy be an element of the classroom practice, keeping in view the Indian education system? Media pedagogy is considered to be a cutting-edge form of pedagogy which is used by teachers to help students to deconstruct the messages they receive from mainstream media, and analyze them critically. So can we see media being used as a pedagogical tool to engage critical students? The research was centered around the examination of the ways in which media, particularly cinema (educational short films and documentaries), is used as a tool to impact learning outcomes. From the literature, it was gathered that the use of films as a medium to enhance moral learning among children is not something new or ground-breaking as it has been effectively and widely used all across the world. The study has been positioned on the use of film and video in classroom environments as tools to impart education at a time when the knowledge of video has been consistently demystified and where the best videos are available for teachers to use and for students to benefit from facilities which are free to use such as YouTube. As stated in the review of literature, the successful experiments have shown that the films can act as a strong force to bring about social change in the case of children. These experiments aimed at creating innovative and creative educational programmes to create a positive attitude towards formal education and also make education interesting, creative, reflective, purposive and stimulating. The present study aims to look at yet another controlled experiment, The School Cinema project, which aims at providing life skills based training for the children through short films and documentaries. The aim of the study is to find out “The effectiveness of School Cinema in imparting Value Education in comparison to a moral science textbook”. Another major aspect of the study is positioned to understand the relevance of films focused on children and on education in a country like India, which is considered as the world's largest film-producing country and yet it produces very few films in this area. Explanatory research design form mixed methods of research for this study. The methodology is essentially divided into two stages and as the method suggests the quantitative stage is followed by the qualitative phase. Experimental research design is employed to get a clear understanding of the extent to which School Cinema has achieved the intended aims and objectives. The sample selection for the study is non-parametric which is representative/indicative of the population studied. Standard Deviation comparison is used to analyze quantitative data keeping in mind the small sample size.
