While circulation numbers continue to grow across all editions of newspapers, this is more evident in the regional editions, which seem to have a very strong brand following. While the 'instant news' era of 24 hour news channels on television has had its impact on the circulation numbers of newspapers, it is evident that India still 'wakes-up' with a cup of tea and the newspaper. The highest circulated daily in India still remains a regional language newspaper. At the national level, the English language dailies rule. A trend that is picking-up is that of the digital edition of newspapers.

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 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.
