Title	:	Federalism and the Creation of Sub-national States in Nigeria: Appraising the State-Creation Exercise under Babangida Administration
Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Abdul-Majeed Alkali (PhD)
	:	10.9790/0837-2201050108

Abstract: The territorial boundaries of the Nigerian federation have undergone frequent changes under military regimes. From 1967, the structure of the federation has been reconstituted five times. The paper seeks to appraise the state-creation exercises under Babangida Administration, with a view to explaining the factors and forces which may have influenced the creation of the 21 - and the 30-state federal structures in Nigeria. The unrelenting pressure for the creation of additional subnational units in Nigeria is a function of the competition amongst federating ethnic groups in the country for favourable allocation of distributive federal resources. Indeed, the insatiable distributive appetite of state proposers would explain why, in spite of the creation of the 36- state federal structure in 1996 the calls for more states have not abated in Nigeria.

Title	:	Reclaiming Root and Reframing History: Diasporic Consciousness in Michael Ondaatje's Running in the Family
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Pabitra Bharali || Dr. Bishnu Charan Dash
	:	10.9790/0837-2201053336

Abstract: Reclamation of root in the original homeland and culture is integral to diasporic consciousness. Diasporas reclaim original identity through 'material' and 'cultural' links. On the one hand, they take up activities of 'maintenance and restoration' of the homeland as agents of development; on the other hand, psychically through memory, vision and myth and linguistically through historical research and literary production, they continue to have attachment to the homeland. The Sri Lankan-Canadian diasporic writer Michael Ondaatje holds a complex cultural position since he considers himself as a 'mongrel of place, race, culture and genres'.............

Title	:	Impact of Remittances on Remittance-Recipient Households' Socio-Economic Behavior: A Study in Moulvibazar District of Bangladesh
Country	:	Bangladesh
Authors	:	Md. Abdul Hye
	:	10.9790/0837-2201054356

Abstract: This study examines the socio-economic impacts of remittance on the remittance-recipient households through a primary survey in rural Bangladesh. We pay particular attention to the households who have received remittances for at least one year but not more than ten years. The size of remittances in Bangladesh is more than $14 billion which is equivalent to about 11 percent of country's GDP. This large amount of remittance has helped shape Bangladesh's economy to a great extent for three decades. This socio-economic impact of remittances on remittance-recipient households is important in the sense that they continue to be a significant source of income for countless families and play a crucial role of co-insurance at times of hardship..........

Country	:	India
Authors	:	Vidya Purandare || Dr.V.H.Bajaj
	:	10.9790/0837-2201056168

Abstract: Development of Water Resources Projects is a complex task & needs huge investments. This makes it imperative to take a conscious, judicious and sound decision for investment and construction of projects. Any casual approach can lead to a variety of problems in execution, time and cost overruns offsetting the economics of the project. It is therefore necessary that projects are planned based on adequate surveys and investigations, well engineered, soundly designed & evaluated based on reliable economics. The benefit cost ratio and internal rate of return are the two techniques which help take decision regarding economic feasibility & sanctioning of projects in India. The Mhaisal lift irrigation project satisfies all the necessary norms & irrigation has been executed since 2004-2005

Keywords: Benefit-cost ratio, discounting, internal rate of return, lift irrigation project, project appraisal.
