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.

A worker attitude towards work is directly linked to the job satisfaction; a worker who is satisfied with his job performs better and excels at what he does. A study (Harvard University) found that when a person gets a job or a promotion, 85% of the time it is because of attitude, and only 15% of the time because of intelligence and knowledge of specific facts and figures. Employees attitude are vital to organization, because when attitudes are positive they are reason for success of organization and when negative, they are both a symptom of underlying problem and a contributing cause of forthcoming difficulties in an organization. Decaling attitude may result in strike, low performance, poor product quality and shabby customer, work slowdowns, absences and employees turnover.

The study was carried out on 100 randomly sampled high school students (Boys=50; Girls=50) of government schools of Dibrugarh, Assam. It was hypothesized that 1) there is a difference between student's gender and academic achievement motivation 2) there is a difference between students' Socio-Economic Status and academic achievement motivation 3) there is a correlation between the students' family relationship pattern and their academic achievement motivation. Academic Achievement Motivation Test by Dr. T.R Sharma was used to study the level of motivation in the sample. Their socio-economic status was decided by employing the Socio- Economic Status Scale by Bharadwaj. The Family Relationship Inventory by Dr. (Mrs.) G.P. Sherry and Dr. J.C Sinha was used to study the pattern of interactions that existed between the parents and the sample. The result indicated moderate differences in students' gender and their academic achievement motivation. Academic Achievement Motivation varied moderately with the students' socio-economic status. Though a positive correlation existed between upper and middle socio-economic status and high academic achievement motivation, low socio-economic status did not indicate significantly low academic achievement motivation. Significant positive correlations (low to moderate) were seen between parental acceptance and student's academic achievement motivation whereas for concentration no significant correlation was noted. A negative correlation was noted between parental avoidance and academic achievement motivation
