Abstract: The present paper focuses on the significance of forest and its resources in the socio-economic life of the Ao-Naga tribe of Nagaland, their traditional knowledge and practices which have aided them in sustainably utilising the forest resources and have thus helped them in conserving the forest. Like most of the other tribal communities, the Ao-Nagas also have an inextricable link with their forest and considers it as one of the most valuable resource as it provides them with all their necessities starting from food, timber, firewood, raw materials for their arts and crafts, fodder for their cattle as well as shelter. Their dependence on the forest and its resources is such that they regard it as the provider, guide, healer and protector and have found ends and means to utilise the resources efficiently.

Abstract: Teacher education is the corner stone for improving quality of education in India. The teacher education programs have to take the first step towards realizing this goal and provide highly trained teachers who are capable of taking on the challenges of the present and the future. The most immediate transformation that the education system is undergoing today is the blending in of educational technology for the purpose of teaching and learning. One of the dimensions of educational technology is online learning technology and student teachers* should be prepared to integrate it into their teaching and learning practices (Sang, Valcke, van Braak, & Tondeur, 2010)[1].

Abstract: The study was designed to examine the relationship between aggression of adolescents and their parental behavior. A sample of 155 adolescent students (80 Boys and 75 Girls) was taken from the different Senior Secondary schools of District Gurdaspur affiliated to CBSE. Aggression was measured by Aggression Scale (Pal and Naqvi, 1983) and Parental Behaviour was measured by Multi Dimensional Parenting Scale (Chauhan and Khokhar, 1997). The results show that there is significant positive correlation between aggression among adolescents and deviant parental behaviour. Findings of the study revealed that parents show more deviant parenting towards girls in comparison to boys in some of the dimensions. The results also throw some light on gender differences in aggressive behavior of adolescents. Keywords: Adolescence, Aggression, Parental Behavior.

Abstract: Despite stiff forest conservationlaws in Nigeria which emanated from old colonial laws and forest ordinancesof the early 19th century, phenomenal numbers of forest species are gradually lost due mainly todemands of timber products. The emergence of Nigeria as party toseveral global biodiversity treatieswas thought to be effective in curtailing loss of species witnessed in all ecological zones of the country. However, reports of several studies indicate that from the tropical forest zone in south to the very northern Sahel extreme, vegetation of Nigeria is continuously degraded.

Abstract: Responsive governance is one of the major attributes of good governance which governments that are elected through the democratic process seek to achieve. This is vitally important in the attainment of their priority responsibilities which is the security of lives and property and protection of the territorial integrity of their state. However, it is noted that though Nigeria is a federal state, it operates a highly centralized federal system which has affected the level of effectiveness of government in critical sectors. The security sector is one of the sectors where the government has fared very poorly in terms of meeting the expectations of the citizenry. The paper relied entirely on secondary data, which were content analyzed and used in the analysis of the situation of the Nigerian security sector.

Abstract: Third-party logistics or 3PL highlights a coordination between the shipper and the third party. If it is compared with the basic services it has more salient offerings, including a variety of service functions and it is characterized by a long term, mutually beneficial relationship. Various studies have done on third party logistics and most of them focused on two categories. The first study on the willingness of the users or the shippers and the costs and benefits related with them while using third party logistics. The second category focused on the elaboration of winning strategies for the third party logistics providers for providing the maximum satisfaction to the user by fulfilling their requirements.

Abstract: Rural women in Odisha play a significant role in agriculture and allied operations. They are actively participating in all range of agricultural activities including pre-harvesting, and post-harvesting. The rural women, besides looking after the family and performing all sorts of household activities, very actively remain busy from dawn to dusk in such agricultural operations which supplements their family income. But despite such a huge contribution, her role has yet not been recognized. A few studies have been made on this regard in the state basically in Odisha. This study is based on a multistage random sampling. In order to carry out the study, a coastal district of Odisha, named Bhadrak is selected as the sample district because of the availability of women agriculture labour

Abstract: Climate change is one of the most important global environmental challenges of the present century. Global warming has been in increasing trend since the 1980, although the earth's average surface temperature has increased by about 1.2 to 1.40F in the last 100 years (Mendelssohn, 2007). Climate change might be a major concern to human being since it affects so many economic sectors as well as different aspects of human life. Negative impacts of climate change on the agricultural sector will be especially dangerous since it is directly related to food security and human health.

Abstract: The leading power giant NTPC (National Thermal Power Corporation) has achieved the bench mark status for Indian power sector at present. In term of its power production and profit generation it has become one amongst the incomparable public sector units in India. Beside this acclaimed status it is quite famous for producing adversities- coal-fired environments, ash fly and coal dust pollution and consequent health risks in its locations. Of many environmental related studies, NTPC's environment impact assessment (EIA) study and its environment policy and management system (EPMS) are unique but lack their actual application in regenerating the ecological health in and around the thermal plants. It is also true that in order to reduce resettlement and rehabilitation cost NTPC project deliberately avoids acquiring households and displacing people faraway from its power plants' locations.
