Pages: 310-312 Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam established a unique connection between science and spirituality. He believes that Science is the recent boon of God and science has bestowed upon mankind. Our duty is to invent the scientific concepts and use it for the benefits of all. It is how science is used by man that makes it a blessing or a curse. For instance nuclear energy can be used for generation of electricity and also for making bombs. Fertilizers can be used for agriculture to improve the yield while the same chemicals can also be used for chemical weapons. Science leads to technology and the leaders in the society decide how to use that technology. The convergence of science and technology with spirituality is touted to be the future for both science and technology, and spirituality. The science that we work with today must have the innovativeness, foresight and the vision for it to be the center of technology that we develop tomorrow. Efforts towards building the nuclear bomb, infrastructure, and research on related technologies have been undertaken by India since World War II. Origins of India's nuclear program dates back to 1944. After Indira Gandhi became Prime Minister in 1966, the nuclear program was consolidated. In 1980, the return of Indira Gandhi to power and the nuclear program began to gain momentum. While Pakistan began exercising the brinkmanship, the nuclear program of India continued to the advance level. Initiation the launch of the missile programme began under Dr. Abdul Kalam, an aerospace engineer. Pokhran-II was the series of five nuclear bomb test explosions conducted by the Indian Army's Pokhran Test Range in 1998. This Paper focuses on the Scientific contribution of A.P.J. Abdul Kalam in a detailed manner. |

Pages: 8-11 In one third part of India, socio cultural and economical development is severely affected due to maoist movement, but the biggest loss is young generation's not getting elementary amenities to grow well. Youth is deprived of getting good education and fearless environment. State Government established six residential schools where students from Maoist conflict exposed districts get education and other basic facilities. Present study tends to explore the degree to which intellectual capacity, emotional and social intelligence would collectively and comparatively predict adjustment among these Maoist conflict exposed youth. The sample comprised of total 360 students, 225 male and 135 female with the age range of 16 to 18 years identified from Prayas, residential schools. All the students have passed high school and are from officially declared maoist hit districts. Students are randomly selected from four different schools. Descriptive statistics including Mean, Standard Deviation, Product Moment Correlation and Multiple regression analysis were obtained. The results indicated significantly high association between the independent variables and adjustment with intelligence taking the lead(r=0.69) followed by social intelligence (r=0.68) and lastly emotional intelligence (r=0.60). Also, all the three independent variables are significantly inter correlated. Emotional intelligence and social intelligence was positive and significant (r=0.73), Emotional intelligence and intelligent quotient was positive and significant (r=0.67); social intelligence and intelligence quotient was also positive and significant (r=0.84). Total contribution of all the three intelligences is 52.2% to the criterion variable, while comparative contributions as revealed by the Beta results showed abstract intelligence contributed more (B =0.36) than Emotional Intelligence (B = 0.16), Social Intelligence (B = 0.23). Findings of study indicate that psychosocial correlates play important role in the process of adjustment. |

Pages: 15-20 Reality television show has become a dominating social phenomenon. It transforms regular people into celebrities. Particularly, reality shows of child performers, focusing on singing are enjoying a wide spectatorship. Many participants face immense pressure during the time of filming affecting their psychological well being. The aim of the present study is to explore I) the temperament and character profile; and II) direction of aggression and reaction to frustrating situations of two groups, namely, junior reality television show performer group and control group children. To reach the objectives, both male and female children between 7 to 13 years of age have been chosen and matched on relevant variables. The tools used for this purpose were Rosenzweig picture frustration study (RPFS) and junior temperament and character inventory (JTCI). Data were evaluated using independent sample t- test and Pearson correlation of coefficient. Results indicate that the, junior reality television show performer group has higher novelty seeking, higher intropunitiveness and lower ego defence than control group children. High novelty seeking of the RSG performers may direct them to take part in the reality television shows and low ego defence helps them to learn and accept the daily struggle which they are likely to face before every performance on reality show. Correlation between the scores on RPFS and JTCI reveals that the reality show performers' obstacle dominance (RPFS) is positively correlated to their reward dependence score and persistence (JTCI) score. |
Pages: 21-26 India is often touted as a young country with a sizeable population dividend. However, Indian adolescents, who will be the working population in the future, are fraught with several personal, social, and emotional challenges. The current study aimed at examining how perceived stress, optimism, and self-concept were associated and their relative significance in predicting mental health. The Perceived Stress Scale, Life Orientation Test- Revised, Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale, and the Mental Health Inventory were used to survey 670 adolescents in Puducherry. The results showed that perceived stress was positively associated with negative domains of mental health, while optimism was positively associated. The regression analysis revealed that perceived stress, optimism, and all domains of self-concept except physical appearance significantly predicted mental health. Boys reported better life satisfaction and more freedom from anxiety, while girls reported higher levels of intellectual and school status and popularity. The results underscore the need to consider how adolescents view themselves and their future to help them cope effectively with the normative life-course challenges they face along with the various parental, societal, and peer influences which cause them distress. |
Pages: 27-31 The basic purpose of this paper is to study the impact of companies' annual results announcement on optioned stock returns relative to returns from stocks without options. If the proposition of information reflecting in options market earlier than spot market holds good, then there should be least impact of any information on returns from stocks with options relative to stocks without options. Using Standard Event methodology suggested by Brown and Warner (1985) and Kothari and Warner (1997) we find convincing evidence that announcement of companies' annual results do not significantly influence the returns from stock with options. However, returns from stocks without options have been significantly influenced by annual results announcement. This reinforces the observation that any stock related private information gets reflected in the options market before it gets reflected in stock market. However, in case stocks without options, as there are no other venues to act upon any private information, the impact of the same gets reflected in stocks prices themselves. |
Pages: 32-38 'This paper is an empirical study conducted in the Santhal Pargana division of the state of Jharkhand. A survey was carried out across the six districts of Santhal Pargana region to assess the socio-economic conditions and difficulties faced by the Santhal women in their own region as well as migrant labourers in nearby Bengal region. Structured schedule was employed during field visit along with informal open ended discussions. The study concludes that Santhals are on the brink of development process and face poverty and destitution in various ways. Their vulnerability is much evident from the findings of the study particularly related to wages, health, safety nets provided by the government and various forms of harassment they encounter as migrants. Their migrant nature of work as agriculture labourers makes them more vulnerable towards sexual abuse and harassment at the hands of the landlords. Such harassment can be of multiple forms from physical to economical and others. Many times they often end up in huge debts from the landlords. Similarly, in their own region they have very different type of issues particularly related to poor agriculture lands and irrigation facilities, minimal financial support and often large families to feed. Hence, the findings shows that conditions of Santhal women remain more or less the same as compared to earlier timed as discussed in the literature review. There is huge scope for improvement through some of the policy approaches, developing micro and mini enterprises at village levels and proactive engagement from state machineries. |
