SWAMI VIVEKANANDA once said "Traveelling through many cities of Europe and observing in them the comforts and education of even the poor people, there was brought to my mind the state of our own people, and I used to shed tears. What made the difference? Education was the answer I got". Therefore, to a nation education is the best investment on its precious human resource for the all-round development of its people. Hence the founding fathers of our constitution had laid down that the state should introduce free and compulsory education for all children below 14 years of age. However it is unfortunate even after six decades of the Republic, today we still have 35 per cent illiterates in our population. It is heartening, at least after over six decades of Independence the road block preventing the nation's march towards all-round prosperity is being cleared through the Right to Education (RTE) Act 2009 which provides for free and compulsory education for children between six to 14 years of age.

“A society that is unable to respect, protect and nurture its women and children loses its moral moorings and runs adrift.” (The Hindu- Opinion Sept, 15 2012 ) Dalit is a designation for a group of people traditionally regarded as untouchables. Dalits are those classes of people who are not only considered as untouchables but also deprived of their basic right to life. According to Ancient Indian System, Dalits, basically are those people which does not belong to any of the four castes i.e. Brahmin, Vaishya, Kshayatriya, Sudhras. They are outcastes or out of the four castes and tend to do such impure works such as sweeping roads, cleaning toilets, removal of rubbish etc. They are not a single particular caste or class of people but are divided into many small groups, due to their nature of work. They have been, on many occasions, deprived of their basic necessities and rights.

The government of India initiated the National Programme of Nutritional Support to Primary Education (NP-NSPE) on 15th august 1995. The objectives of the scheme are to help the improvement of the effectiveness of primary education by improving the nutritional status of primary school children. Initially, the scheme was implemented in 2408 blocks of the country to provide food to students in class I-V of government, government aided and local body run schools. Under this programme, a cooked mid-day meal with 450 calories and 12 gram of proteins is provided to all children enrolled in classes I to V. In October 2007, the scheme included students in upper primary classes of VI to VIII, and the name was changed from National programme for Nutrition Support to Primary Education to National programme of mid-day Meals (MDM) in schools. In this scheme, meals are cooked on-site by local cooks and helpers or self-help ground. This system allows for minimizing waste and better monitoring (e.g. by parents or teachers). Here, the research wants to know what the teachers actually think about the Mid-day Meal Programme.

Development is a concept loaded with value judgements. No generally accepted definition exists, nor do we have a convenient means to measure the rate of development. Now the per capita income growth has been discarded as such. Basically, developmental planning is an interdisciplinary field and requires holistic approach. The sustainable development calls for giving equal attention to natural, economic and political aspects as well as specific socio-cultural factors.

Efficient utilization of water is crucial to agricultural production for meeting of challenge or feeding the ever increasing millions of human population in our country. Agriculture sustains life where as irrigation sustains agriculture for it oils the wheels of agriculture. This paper is focused on how to develop agriculture by irrigational facilities in Ashti Taluka of Beed District.

Myth has become a profoundly significant literary device of the modern and postmodern literature. Myth actually serves the role of a platform upon which the past could be better understood and the present is better realized. This is why MirciaEliade has appelated myth as ‘a continual present’. While discussing about the relevance of using myth in Joyace’sUlysses Eliot stated: In using the myth, in manipulating a continuous parallel between contemporary and antiquity, Mr. Joyace is pursuing a method which others must pursue after him … It is simply a way of controlling, of ordering, of giving a shape and a significance to the immense panorama of futility and anarchy which is contemporary history.(Dial)

Proper Rehabilitation and Resettlement to the satisfaction of persons displaced by Thermal power Plants, appear to remain an elusive ideal. It is a knotty area with many fuzzy angles in which Electrical Engineers, trained in handling power turbines, grids, load feel out of their depth. Computerization could help to limited extent, but the problem escapes the disciplines of hardware sciences. In this paper, some of the problems in the Human Relations between Management and displaced groups, are mentioned. Then some of the causes are analyzed, and finally some suggestions are made as to how this problem can be approached from a more humane angle. Whether displaced persons can be ever rehabilitated to a standard of living and quality of life, equivalent to or better than the one they enjoyed before the advent of the plant, remains unanswered. At this moment we do not know.

India had the great benefit of starting its journey under the leadership of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru during the defining years of its freedom, and a great line-up of visionary and sagacious men and women provided effective leadership in the task of consolidating democracy and in laying the institutional foundations of the republic. Jawaharlal Nehru, as president of the Indian National Congress, declared in 1936that India's ultimate objective was "the establishment of a democratic state;" a sovereign state Which would promote and foster "full democracy" and usher in a new social and economic order.

'गाव'च्या कविता असे जरी या संग्रहाचे शीर्षक असले तरी त्यात 'गाव' च्या कविता, 'माय' च्या कविता, पावसाळी कविता, झाडाच्या कविता आणि शिवाराच्या कविता असे काही विभाग आहेत. अर्थात या वेगवेगळ्या विभागातील सर्व कवितांच्या मार्ग कार्यरत असलेले एक अंत:स्थ, कृतिशील सूत्र आहे. एकूणच ग्रामीण जीवन हे कृषिनिष्ठ आहे, शेतकरी आणि त्याचे जीवन हा ग्रामीण जीवनाचा मूळ आधार आहे. शेतकज्यांचे जीवन म्हणजे कष्ट, दारिद्य्र, हालअपेष्टा यांचा जणू वसा-वारसा आहे. पाऊसपाण्याची अनिश्चितता, त्यामुळे वाढणारी नापिकी, दिवसेंदिवस ग्रामीण निसर्गाची होणारी बेसुमार हानी, परिणामी शिवाराला येणारी अवकळा, शिवाय हे सारे असे प्रतिकूल असले तरी या साज्यांच्याबद्दल असणारा कृतज्ञता भाव या संग्रहातून स्पंदन पावतो आहे.

Information about the temperature of Land and its changing nature is very much essential in soils and land management practices. Land tunes song more preciously song of life (Das, 2015). And Surface Temperature of Land is an important climate variable, related to surface energy balance and the integrated thermal state of the atmosphere within the planetary boundary layer (Jin 1996). So, land management is an important practice, in these context mapping of Land Surface Temperature (LST) should be one of the most forth coming job in modern era. Now a day the evidence on latent heat exchange encouraged many researchers to focus on deriving LST and LULC relationship. In this study I have tried to monitor the temporal trends as well as spatial characteristics of Land Surface Temperature and it relation with land cover land use in Bankura district, West Bengal, (India) using Landsat images Geographic Information System (GIS) and District Statistical Handbook of Bankura (2004 & 2012).

This paper is an attempt to understand the Water is the most critical input for enhancing agricultural productivity, and therefore expansion of irrigation has been a key strategy in the development of agriculture in the country. Irrigation in India refers to the supply of water from Indian rivers, tanks, wells, canals and other artificial projects for the purpose of cultivation and agricultural activities. In country such as India, 64% of cultivated land is dependent on monsoons. Land and Water are the two most important natural resources in the development of Agriculture. The success of the agriculture mainly depends on proper and scientific utilisation of these resources. Crop productivity can be best optimised on watershed basis when these resources interact in a synergetic manner.For soil and water conservation on agricultural lands, both agronomic and mechanical measures are deployed, such as contour farming, management of soil fertility, water nutrient interrelationship, balanced IPNS system and micronutrients.

Human beings are born equal in dignity and rights. These moral claims are articulated and formulated in what is today known as human rights. Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. The origin of human rights may be found both in Greek philosophy and the various world religions. In the Age of Enlightenment the concept of human rights emerged as an explicit category. Origin of the idea of human rights in India though the Rig-Veda Period. The term Human Rights refer to those rights are considered universal to humanity, regardless of citizenship, residency status, ethnicity, gender, or other considerations. The present topic is a burning issue and has a great significance in the world especially the developing nations like India. The experience of the last five decades in the area of human rights has become a matter of deep concern. The early history of human rights movement can be traced from 13t century. India was closely and actively participating in all these developments, Finally Government of India introduced the Human Rights Commission.

“Few human rights abuses are so widely condemned, yet so widely practised. Let us make (child labour) a priority. Because a child in danger is a child that cannot wait.”
