Abstract: The paper examined the various administrative reforms in Nigeria and identified the factors affecting the implementation of reforms. These were with a view to providing insight into why the reforms are not yielding the required results. Primary and secondary sources of data collection were utilized for the study. The results showed that about 24 administrative reforms have been implemented in Nigeria. The results revealed that factors such as bribery and corruption (99%); the concept of federal character (69%); insecurity (94%); and the discipline of execution (98%) affected the implementation of administrative reforms in Nigeria. The study concluded that the problem with reform is not in the theory but in the lack of attention to reform implementation.

Abstract: The earliest settlers of the present state of Assam were the Bodos. They moulded powerful kingdoms in different names at different places in ancient and medieval periods. The Asura and Danava dynasties found mentioned in the Epics and Puranas, Salasthambas, Palas, Burmanas in ancient period and Chutiyas, Koches, Kacharies and Tiprahs in medieval period were all belonged to the great Bodo race. But all these powerful kingdoms are now represented by remnants of Koch kings of Bijni, Mongaldoi, Raja of Rani and Beltola.Since the ascendency of the Aryan race into Assam, all these kings by the influence of Brahmins became Hinduised caste of Kshatriyas except their subjects who did not follow their suit. But in recent times, the Neo-Vaishnavite religion was able to influence the common Bodo people to become saranias after they were being proselytized into this new faith..............

Abstract: This work sets out to investigate the behavior of tone in the affixes involved in the formation of three aspects in Aguata Igbo. The dialect group comprises of three main dialects; Amaiyi, Orumba and Aguata. Three respondents are selected to represent each dialect. The data are collected through personal interview and analyzed descriptively to find out how these aspects are realized in each dialect to ascertain their level of similarities and differences. In the findings, there are variations both in the affixes and in the tone patterns indicating that they are different (though related) dialects of the Igbo language, contrary to popular notion that they all speak the same dialect

Abstract: Charles Dickens could never dissociate himself from the remembrances of the heart-rending experiences of his childhood.The early novels of Dickens were an attack on the harsh Victorian society. He portrayed a realistic picture of the brutalities prevalent during the era. The later novels on the other hand were subjective in tone. Even though Dickens's own experiences provided the necessary information for the plots of his works, yet the two most autobiographical novels are David Copperfield and Great Expectations.

Abstract: Mahatma Gandhi came on this earth with his message of truth and non-violence (ahimsa) at a time when the forces of aggression and violence reigned supreme on earth. Mahatma Gandhi taught us what Christ and Buddha had longed to teach long ago. He became an immortal spirit who guides us through the path of peace and non-violence. Gandhi was born in a middle class orthodox Hindu family of Gujarat, at Rajkot. Having received his early education in India, he went to London where he qualified himself as a barrister-at-law.Mahatma Gandhi was the exponent of the cult of Ahimsa or Non-violence. Like the Buddha, Christ and Chaitanya he too believed in the ultimate victory of Non-violence over violence.Force or violence, according to him, is madness which cannot sustain.

Abstract:There are extreme world views amongst the philosophers of different periods of history and the response of postmodernism in this regard is really a fatalist one. Postmodern world view is diametrically opposed to the modern worldviews. It attempts to view reality in a new way. It does not believe any kind of definite description and thus the modern intellectual outlook is radically rejected by it. Thus it can be said that both in our understanding of knowledge and science, postmodernism brought a revolution. In this paper I shall try to explain the postmodern attitude towards modern worldview and finally depict their own explanation of the universe.

Abstract: The modern technological state aims at reconciling the conflict between the environmental values and the development goals by adopting the sustainable approach for economic development. Environment Impact Assessment process is an instrument in reconciling this conflict by implementing the concept of sustainable development as it ensures public participation in environmental decision making in India. It is a legal strategy which evaluates the potential beneficial and adverse impacts of development projects on the environment, taking into account environmental, social, cultural and aesthetic considerations. It determines the viability of a project. The present paper critically analyses the role and scope of the participation of people in environmental decision making in India with special reference to Environment Impact Assessment process in India.
