Abstract: This paper defines open access literature as digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. It also discusses the open access publishing models which are open access journal ("gold road") and open access repositories or institutional repositories ("green road"). It goes further to discuss the concept of research productivity which is viewed as a means by which academics contribute their own knowledge to the existing body of knowledge. The paper stressed some justifications of open access in research productivity as to maximize the uptake, usage, applications and impact of the research output of your university; to measure and reward the uptake, usage, applications and impact of the research output of your university (research metrics); and to collect, manage and showcase a permanent record of the research output and impact of your university. The paper maintained that: Lack of research skills in modern methods, lack of equipment for carrying out state-of-the art research, overloaded teaching and administration schedules which leave little time for research, difficulty in accessing research funds and diminishing ability of seasoned and senior researchers to mentor junior researchers due to brain drain as the main factors responsible for the decline. The paper concluded that Librarians have extensive skill sets often developed over many years. Librarians may not believe that "scholarly communication" or "open access" has much relevance to their research productivity. There is no doubt about the fact that Open Access provides global visibility for researchers, their research output can be accessed globally free of charge. This will in turn give room for easy-share of ideas, results and inventions to build upon.

Abstract: Language and word decoding skill along with cognitive processes underlying reading comprehension difficulties of children were investigated by means of two different studies. In study1, good and poor comprehenders of Grade V of some Odia medium schools of Cuttack, Odisha matched for age and intelligence (measured by RCPM) but differing with respect to their reading comprehension skill were examined for their proficiency in word decoding and PASS (Planning – Attention – Simultaneous – Successive) processes in which the poor comprehenders were deficient. Both the reading skills also showed significant relationship with each of the four PASS processes. In study 2, on the other hand, good and poor comprehenders of Grade IV of some English medium schools of Cuttack, Odisha matched for their age and overall intellectual functioning in terms of PASS processes (measured by CAS) were studied further for their proficiency in word decoding and each of the four PASS processes separately. Poor comprehenders were found deficient not only in word decoding, but also in simultaneous processing while their competence in the remaining three processes was absolutely normal. Both the reading skills also showed significant relationship with the simultaneous process. The results have been discussed in terms of proficiency in the requisite linguistic skills along with competence in the cognitive processes that ensures successful accomplishment of the tasks at hand and suggestions have been made for possible remediation of the problems in that direction.

Abstract: Marriage as an institution is an ancient one, during prehistoric times, there was nothing called "Marriage". The Caveman simply dragged the woman of his choice to mate with and procreate. Despite the absence of rituals and ceremonies, the caveman was as possessive about his woman as today‟s husband. As the world became civilized, human beings realized that primitive ways had to be discarded and a more sophisticated way of mating had to be adopted. This brought about a kind of selectivity and sticking around with one partner, thus developing the system of marriage. Much later, rules and laws of marriage and societal norms began to appear. Monogamy was imposed on men, and women were given legal rights against bigamy but even then she was still the inferior partner and rarely had a say in important matters.

Abstract: There is growing consensus among scholars that non-formal education offers a solution to the deficiencies of formal education and contributes to the developmental needs of developing countries. The growth in numbers and range of non-formal educational initiatives post-2000 is creating an upsurge in adult education and lifelong learning across the world. In India, the ambit of new initiatives in non-formal education is being increased to include larger numbers of disadvantaged and excluded groups to address the social and gender imbalance. While this paper maintains a global orientation, the focus is on the conditions and problems of non-formal education in India and its significance in the context of skill development and employability. It aims to contribute to the development of theoretical insights on increasing regarding employability opportunities through skill development.

Abstract: The Non-verbal communication is conveying of emotions, feelings, and messages through actions and expressions rather than words. In our daily life the Non- verbal communication and the verbal communication go hand in hand. In fact sometimes it's our expressions and body language that expresses our emotions better than words. Facial expressions are the most common way of non-verbal communication.Non-verbal communication is the process of communication through sending and receiving wordless (mostly visual) cues between people. It is sometimes mistakenly referred to as body language (kinesics), but nonverbal communication encompasses much more, such as use of touch (haptic) and distance (proxemics). Non-verbal communication includes those important but unspoken signals that individuals exhibit, specifically: body language (encompassing carriage/posture, appearance, listening, and eye contact), hand gestures, and facial expressions.
