The cable television industry in India is poised for one of its most significant development in the last decade ─ a transformation to the Digital Addressable System (DAS) for television distribution. Cable operators in a DAS regime would be legally bound to transmit only digital signals so that each user in the network would be uniquely identifiable to the service provider. Digital television is expected to provide the consumer access to a higher number of TV channels, customized tariffs, availability of broadband, other value-added-services and enhanced user experience through better viewing quality and consumer service. TRP figures provided by TAM is considered as the holy Bible for media planners, advertisers and television channels.

The economic empowerment of women is being regarded these days as a sine qua non of progress for a country; hence the issue of economic empowerment of women is of paramount importance. In India, the work participation rate of women is less than half that of men. Despite efforts made towards economic empowerment of women, majority of the active female population continues to be confined to micro, small-scale enterprises and the informal sector. This paper discusses the ways to attain economic empowerment for the women and emphasizes on the need to bring attitudinal changes in the society. In the end the paper emphasizes that economic empowerment of the women will result into a chain of developmental process.

India has the world's youngest work force with a median age way below that of China and OECD countries. Half the population of India was younger than 25 in 2010. It will change to half the population being under 28 in 2030, making India a very young country for the next 20 years. Employability of graduates coming out of our educational system is becoming a matter of great concern with numerous studies observing only 25% of the general graduates across all streams having employable skills. National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) has been given an onerous responsibility of skilling 150 million learners across 20 high-growth sectors, which would be impossible without the spread of Technical and Vocational education. Technical and Vocational education in a broad sense lay down the foundation for innovation and know-how, resulting in a lower unemployment rate and subsequently boosting India's economic growth in the 21st century.

Child abuse is a state in which a child (below the age of 18 years) is maltreated physically, emotionally, sexually and economically. These various types of child abuse lead a child in many long term traumatic stages. Children may face trauma that threatens their integrity, safety, level of confidence, self-esteem, social life and so forth. The effects of trauma are broad, encompassing fear, anger, sadness and humiliation. It is a globally prevalent phenomenon. The women and child development ministry-survey revealed that 53.22% of children reported having faced one or more forms of sexual abuse. It was also found that over 50% children were subjected to one or the other form of physical abuse and every second child reported of facing emotional abuse. In 83% of the cases parents were the abusers. In a number of joint studies conducted by UNICEF and the Ministry of Labour, 75% of the children reported treatment by staff as bad and 91.7% reported provisions of necessities as bad. In Mumbai 75.4 % reported bad treatment by staff and 53.2 reported that provisions were poor. One million children are trafficked into prostitution, in Asia every year; child abuse affects children in a number of ways, such as higher rates of psychiatric and psychological disorders as PTSD, depression, suicidal tendency, antisocial behaviour and so forth. Though there are certain acts as 'National Policy on Children, 1974'; 'Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 and recently government passed 'The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012', but due to lack of awareness and proper implementation in these acts, cases of child abuse are increasing day by day. So the gravity of the situation demands that the issue of child abuse be placed on the national agenda.

In recent years, inclusive education has risen to prominence, which changed the traditional roles of teachers, from using a “talk and chalk” method, to being more pupil-centred. The role of teachers in mainstream schools has become more varied and challenging.

The questionnaire was administered to 74 students and 31 Faculty Members of a post graduate programme in management studies. Data collected was analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. Findings show that both teachers and students of management education prefer the challenger style followed by compiler style and then counsellor style. The study emphasizes the need to match and adapt styles preferred by both students and teachers. The study emphasizes the need for rigorous research so that the challenger style can be enhanced.

The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), the central proposition of finance for the last thirty five years rests on assumption of rationality. But it has been proved that people are ruled as much by emotion as by logic and selfishness. As behavioral finance suggests, everyone makes the best of a bad situation and the situation in the stock market has never been ideal for anyone. The study is based on the primary data to study investor behavior for rationality in financial decision making. In order to test the investor rationality, the factor analysis is used on the data collected through questionnaire filled by the investor for extracting the different behavior characteristics of investors. Some investors were given the questionnaire to fill out in personal and the data from some investors were collected through the e-mail. A total of 100 subjects were included in the survey selected randomly from different places as Rohtak, Sonepat and Jhajjar according to convenient approach. The survey instrument included 44 questions on the devise aspects of investor rationality for financial decision making. After collected the data through a five point scaled questionnaire, the scoring is done on the scale and the factor analysis was used to reduce the variables in fewer factors reflecting homogeneous characteristics variables.

Anger and alienation are two areas of major concern in the current changing times marked by people living lives without feeling connected with their significant others, and exhibiting marked lowered frustration tolerance in reacting in social and familial interactions. It is important to tap the young adults so that appropriate help can be provided at the age when they are individuating and forming a stable personality. In contemporary times health has become an area of major concern and the most basic aspect for the same is the BMI. The current paper explores anger in relation to alienation and BMI, also referring to the socio-demographic variables. The research was performed by using standardized psychological measures on a sample of 70 individuals and the results obtained were analyzed using correlation, t-test and ANOVA. Anger and alienation were found to be highly positively correlated but gender differences and mediating effect of BMI was absent. Results and their implications are discussed in detail in the present paper.
