Education is an essential tool for achieving economic sustainable development. Skill requirement in the global labour market and internationalisation is changing the world of higher education. In Indian scenario higher education is experiencing tremendous expansion due to growing employment opportunities. The emergence of GATS and global level education providers have opened threshold for global competition and partnership. Due to foreign regulatory bill approval in Sept, 2013 with certain modifications in UGC regulations, foreign universities interest is growing rapidly to explore the potential in the fast growing Indian education market. There is also an urgent need in India to meet the rising demand for higher education due to demand of workforce which meets global standards.

The findings suggest that in order to achieve the goals there has to be substantial expansion of quality education and training of students for raising employability and productivity. Business practices in universities and colleges have to be attuned to new business requirements such as marketing and publicity, improving quality of education and trainings at all levels; and make education system more flexible and inclusive for sustainable growth.

Role and responsibility of a leader is vital in every industrial sector. For the sake of responsibilities, they compromise with their physical and mental health. The study is aimed at assessing the general health of mid-life leaders in addition to conventional physiological parameters. Eighty four leaders (mean age 52.01±5.73) underwent Self-management of Excessive Tension (SMET) intervention for 5 days and were assessed with General Health Questionnaires and medical parameters. GHQ change was found to be significant at p<0.001. Similarly, the trend in other clinical variables such as SBP (expand all these) (p<0.001), PR (p<0.001), RR (p<0.001) and weight (p<0.05) were lower whereas DBP (p>0.05) was higher. The general health was significantly improved for top level leaders and is suggestive of better leadership development through SMET intervention.

Mere academic knowledge without deep rooting in moral and spiritual values will only fashion lop-sided personalities who may become rich in material possessions, but will remain poor in self-understanding, peace, and social concern. Emphasizing this fact, Swami Vivekananda said, “Excess of knowledge and power, without holiness, makes human beings devils.”In order for values education to become part and parcel of main stream schooling, the closest possible links need to be found between it and the world of teachers and schools. Teaching has undergone a revolution over the past decade or so. Updated research into the role of the teacher has uncovered the true potential of the teacher (and, through the teachers, the school) to make a difference. Much of this research insight is captured in the notion of 'Quality Teaching', a perspective that speaks of intellectual depth, inter-relational capacity and self-reflection as being among the factors that characterize the kind of learning that makes a difference. There are important synergies between these perspectives and those of values education. Making these links has potential to release the true power of values education and to elevate it to a mainstream issue for all schools. The address will explore these links and demonstrate how other frameworks and resources available to teachers can be incorporated into a comprehensive and powerful values education for all schools Students are led to believe that by developing the ability to gather, store, and retrieve vast information, they stand educated. But, Swami Vivekananda points out, “Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested all your life. We must have life-building, man-making and character-making assimilation of ideas.”

All the members of the society irrespective of their age, economic status, gender, potential, personality as well as disability contribute towards the development of the nation-state. Earlier education was only meant for normal children, with educational expansion and rising standards, even more students are now being transferred into special education. Many educators were against the concept of special education and segregating the special children and they were of the view that special education is not in accordance with the principle of Equality. In integrated education, special services for special children within the regular school setting are provided. In India, integration is a worthwhile move and a very satisfying trend for exceptional children.

The research study aimed to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and age in a sample of 120 managerial personnel, drawn from IT and Telecom sectors, belonging to two different age groups: 24-26 years and 46-48 years. Data were obtained using Lussier's 14-item job satisfaction questionnaire which yielded scores on different parameters related to job satisfaction, viz., pay, job security, social interaction on the job, quality of supervision, and opportunities for growth. Results revealed that the older employees were relatively more satisfied on various facets of job satisfaction as compared to their younger counterparts. This finding was interpreted in terms of decreasing discrepancy between desired and perceived job attributes with increasing age. The relationship between the two variables in question was discussed with reference to other significant variables particularly generational differences in the work force. The findings have implications for quality of work life and human resource management.

Developing information technology (IT) strategy that supports and is supported by business strategy is critical for generating business value in today's organizations. In the face of rapidly changing business conditions and continuously evolving IT, however, organizations have yet to learn how to develop an effective IT strategy. With information technology (IT) going mobile, thanks to the deployment of faster and more reliable broadband networks, we are experiencing yet another technology driven transition. Included in the paradigm shift is an approach, which might be called “IT for all,” that we have seen across each analyzed company. Successful enterprises focus on building a specific skill set or niche, using innovative IT to adapt and expand their specific market needs. There is very little research that is concerned with studying the ways in which Information Technology supports Business Process. While analyzing the results obtained when applying this framework to a case study in order to reflect about the advantages and hurdles in implementing IT in any business organization and scope of IT in industries

International financial markets were facing a rough time in 1970s. In response of this, the central bank governors of G 10 countries established a Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices which was later renamed as Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. This committee works for enhancing the financial stability by improving the quality of banking supervision worldwide. In 1988, Basel I norms were adopted to strengthen the soundness and stability of the international banking system and to mitigate competitive inequalities. In June, 2004, BCBS published Basel II guidelines, which were based on three parameters-Capital adequacy requirements, supervisory review and market discipline. In 2010, Basel III guidelines were released in response of the financial crisis of 2008, to strengthen the banks which were under-capitalised, over-leveraged. The present paper begins with building a common understanding of the concept of Basel norms, then an attempt is made to understand the impacts of Basel norms on banking system in India.
