Abstract: Resettlement concerns arising by construction of dams have always remained pivotal in a country's developmental aspirations. Though, governmental agencies upfront provide a well schemed rehabilitation package for the resettled population, instances of disparity between the proposed package and its proper implementation is noted. Most of the reports and studies are subjectively biased as there is a lack of objective tool for assessing the rehabilitation schemes. We have used Human Development Index (HDI) to measure the effectiveness of rehabilitation package implementation on the displaced population of Indravati dam project in India. Data was collected by questionnaire from 300 households of 24 villages and assessment for HDI was estimated with three indices, that is education, life expectancy and real per capita income.

Abstract:Bangladeshi students study English grammar as a compulsory subject from primary to tertiary level of education. Students are taught fixed grammatical rules in different education levels as mentioned in the syllabus. The intention of this paper is to show the status of teaching English grammar in Bangladesh and thereby to discover whether there is any effect of communicative method in teaching English grammar in the mentioned context. The main observations from this study are: Teachers use the grammar translation method in teaching and rarely have exposure to communicative approach. New teaching methods are rarely introduced. Grammatical rules are taught deductively, through direct demonstration in the classroom. Lack of contextual interpretation of grammatical rules is common. Students memorize the exam oriented rules of English grammar. No interesting communicative practices are done. Moreover awareness regarding teaching and learning English grammar in an effective communicative method is not visible.

Abstract: In the recent times, conflicts and violence are regular phenomena in every society. Such conditions often raise questions over the general practices of media and its consequences on socio-cultural practice. It necessitates the need for a dialectical-inquiry of media, culture and violence to arrive at the points of their intersection. While media encourages the culture of modernity, it fails to create a condition for the culture of modernity to prevail and persist.

Abstract:Globalization has had a tremendous impact on every aspect of human life including higher education. In the Indian context education is partially provided by the public sector that is basically funded by the government and partially opened out to the private sector. In recent years there has been a steady growth of the private players in the education market. Most educational institutions now recognize that they need to market themselves in a climate of global competition.

Abstract: The paper empirically examined cash crop production, transport and the Nigerian economy from 1981-2012. The main aim of this study is to determine the impact of cash crop production and transport on the Nigerian economy. This paper estimates the effect of cash crop production, transport and the Nigerian economy via vector error correction model framework, the co-integration test and the OLS techniques. The result shows a significant relationship between cash crop production, transport and the Nigerian economy. The study, therefore recommends that the federal government should increase its allocation to transport, to ensure adequate provision of transport facilities in terms of road signs, traffic light, street light etc.

Abstract: A country's environment and its natural resources play a significant part in its economic growth and development. However, economic activity often uses environment as a dump for waste products. This rapid but polluting growth reduces social welfare and thus increases the cleanup cost. Therefore, ever since the economies have started growing at rapid pace, the issues of effects of such growth on environment have become very crucial. The following essay attempts to understand the concept of sustainable development, the origin and need of it, the problems and the trade off between economic growth and environmental protection.

Abstract:This paper has been written on the basis of qualitative and quantitative data collected from secondary source and discussed work participation of tribal women in India in a descriptive manner. The tribal women have been equal partners with tribal men in the contribution to household economy. Quite often their women do more physical labour in their agricultural fields and forest than that of the tribal men. Tribal women have usually enjoyed a higher social status in their own communities than Indian women in general. Some of the tribes like Khasi in Mizoram and Meghalaya are matriarchal.

Abstract: Hinduism believes that almighty created this universe on water mass; the basis for all living and non living product. Water is a pious element in the Hindu culture which is worshipped and highly respected. Despite of having this spirituality, rivers that are considered holy is degrading considerably in terms of its cleanliness and also holiness. Numerous projects and plans are implemented to conserve them but the bizarre situation still prevails. Government and donor agencies are adopting natural capitalism and inclusive green growth path to address the water security but the output is limited on paper documents. Water resource management is subject of social engineering than civil engineering.

Abstract: Documentary films are considered as one of the "discourses of sobriety" that include all the elements of life. Based on realities, documentary films are mirror of sorrows and sufferings of people and have the universal cultural expression. The mighty river Brahmaputra has nourished the lives of North East India including trans-national boarders in its majestic journey. Like many other 'eco-cinema', many filmmakers have depicted the association between Brahmaputra and its communities from their point of view.

Abstract:Indigenous Knowledge (IK) is a knowledge that originates from life and existing cultural values in an area. Indigenous Knowledge System (IKS) constructed from IK is believed to contain a variety of local knowledge that can be tested as local wisdom which is able to solve various environmental problems. It is indeed high time that a study is being conducted on various matters related to human life in developing the environment in order to examine the extent to which local wisdom has been applied at all stages of planning and developmental design. The natural environment is sometimes regarded as the cause of problems in human life, but still there is potential to address environmental problems.

Abstract: This research discusses the issue of LGBT in the Malaysian society by sharing the experience of a former practitioner of the sexual orientation described generally as LGBT. Using the qualitative method of interview and textual analysis of the interview, the research ask the question of whether this sexual orientation is a natural phenomenon or an ideology propagated by certain quarters as is the practice in the contemporary time. The findings of the research through the interaction with the former practitioner of this sexual orientation show that the issue is a double edge sword which requires caution and understanding from the larger society. However, the research shows that it is not something that is insurmountable as is being portrayed in certain quarters.

Abstract: A very simple understanding of the word "Corporate Social Responsibility" (CSR) is that it is a relationship between business organization and the society with which they interact. Under CSR, business organizations voluntarily embark on various development activities for the welfare of the society which give these organizations additional impetus to get involved in such activities. These are nothing but advantages which every company derive i.e. creation of goodwill, branding, risk minimization, consumer and employment satisfaction, etc. Currently business organizations are involved in different CSR activities like, fostering the growth of education, health care, environment protection, rural development, women empowerment, labour welfare, anti corruption, etc.

Abstract: The practice of corporal punishment is widespread across the world. Asian countries in particular are facing this issue due to poor administrative and managerial policies. The most significant population, affected by any form of punishment is youth. Their social and psychological development is greatly affected by the negligence attitude of teachers and parents. The decision of youth and their attitude towards this practice are central to find, to what extent, they shore up this idea. The study was conducted to find the attitude of youth towards corporal punishment.
