Proof reading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting or conversion errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Ethical Guidelines for the author
• Authors should adhere to publication requirements that submitted work is original and has not been published elsewhere in any language. Work should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co-publication. If articles are co-published this fact should be made clear to readers.
• Copyright material (e.g. tables, figures or extensive quotations) should be reproduced only with appropriate permission and acknowledgement.
• Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors’ own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced.
• Data, text, figures or ideas originated by other researchers should be properly acknowledged and should not be presented as if they were the authors’ own
• All sources of research funding, including direct and indirect financial support, supply of equipment or materials, and other support (such as specialist statistical or writing assistance) should be disclosed.
• Authors should disclose the role of the research funder(s) or sponsor (if any) in the research design, execution, analysis, interpretation and reporting
• The research literature serves as a record not only of what has been discovered but also of who made the discovery. The authorship of research publications should therefore accurately reflect individuals’ contributions to the work and its reporting.
• In cases where major contributors are listed as authors while those who made less substantial, or purely technical, contributions to the research or to the publication are listed in an acknowledgement section, the criteria for authorship and acknowledgement should be agreed at the start of the project.
• Researchers should ensure that only those individuals who meet authorship criteria (i.e. made a substantial contribution to the work) are rewarded with authorship and that deserving authors are not omitted. Institutions and journal editors should encourage practices that prevent guest, gift, and ghost authorship.
• All authors should agree to be listed and should approve the submitted and accepted versions of the publication. Any change to the author list should be approved by all authors including any who have been removed from the list. The corresponding author should act as a point of contact between the editor and the other authors and should keep co-authors informed and involve them in major decisions about the publication (e.g. responding to reviewers’ comments).
• Authors should work with the editor or publisher to correct their work promptly if errors or omissions are discovered after publication.
• Authors should abide by relevant conventions, requirements, and regulations to make materials, reagents, software or datasets available to other researchers who request them. Researchers, institutions, and funders should have clear policies for handling such requests. Authors must also follow relevant journal standards. While proper acknowledgement is expected, researchers should not demand authorship as a condition for sharing materials.
• Authors should follow publishers’ requirements that work is not submitted to more than one publication for consideration at the same time.
• Authors should inform the editor if they withdraw their work from review, or choose not to respond to reviewer comments after receiving a conditional acceptance.
• Authors should respond to reviewers’ comments in a professional and timely manner.
• Appropriate approval, licensing or registration should be obtained before the research begins and details should be provided in the report (e.g. Institutional Review Board, Research Ethics Committee approval, national licensing authorities for the use of animals).
• If requested by editors, authors should supply evidence that reported research received the appropriate approval and was carried out ethically (e.g. copies of approvals, licences, participant consent forms).
• Researchers should not generally publish or share identifiable individual data collected in the course of research without specific consent from the individual (or their representative). Researchers should remember that many scholarly journals are now freely available on the internet, and should therefore be mindful of the risk of causing danger or upset to unintended readers (e.g. research participants or their families who recognise themselves from case studies, descriptions, images or pedigrees).
• The appropriate statistical analyses should be determined at the start of the study and a data analysis plan for the prespecified outcomes should be prepared and followed.
• Researchers should publish all meaningful research results that might contribute to understanding. In particular, there is an ethical responsibility to publish the findings of all clinical trials. The publication of unsuccessful studies or experiments that reject a hypothesis may help prevent others from wasting time and resources on similar projects. If findings from small studies and those that fail to reach statistically significant results can be combined to produce more useful information (e.g. by meta-analysis) then such findings should be published.
• Authors should supply research protocols to journal editors if requested (e.g. for clinical trials) so that reviewers and editors can compare the research report to the protocol to check that it was carried out as planned and that no relevant details have been omitted. Researchers should follow relevant requirements for clinical trial registration and should include the trial registration number in all publications arising from the trial.

Pages: 23-30 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.

Pages: 13-17 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. Pages: 13-17Shirish K.

Pages: 8-12 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.

Pages: 373-377 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.

Pages: 366-369 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. Pages: 366-369Veerika Sukhija and Prabha Rani (R. B. D. M. M.

Pages: 362-365 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.
