Abstract: To resolve the overall food, health and education problems occurring in the world today, international development goals were set that are directly or indirectly associated with livestock sector even more to dairy farming (DFID, 2005). India is endowed with the largest livestock population in the world. Thus, there is a tremendous potential for increasing the milk production through profitable dairy farming. This is possible only by utilizing efficient use of available resources and technology. In an economic and social point of view, increasing the efficiency level in milk production is a highly important area of Indian agriculture and Assam as well. With these backdrops......

Abstract: In addition to the home duties that women have to fulfil every day, today‟s women just like men work full time jobs. Does this suggest a gender role uprising? Working women are faced with contradicting role expectations both at work and home. Attempting to fulfil one role to perfection requires sacrifice of another which in turn result in less attention being given to the other role. The views, values and expectations of the society towards a woman also impacts on and contributes to roles conflict both at home and at work. This in turn results in dissatisfaction either......

Abstract: there has been remarkable occupational changes during recent year. During early days different caste people had distinctive occupational specialization but these caste based occupational specialization has become of lesser importance. Certainly, agricultural activities have dominance in rural areas and only limited persons have involvement in non-agricultural occupation. Day-by-day involvement in tertiary occupation is increasing because of educational development, increasing non-agricultural activities and impact of urbanization. The census of India has broadly categorized population into workers and non-workers and workers have been further divided into main workers and marginal workers. These two groups have been further classified into cultivators, agricultural labours....

Abstract: After the belt and road initiative, China's OFDI has seen a remarkable increase in recent years. It is well known that investors pay a great deal of attention to the institutional framework of the countries in which they undertake an investment, and since receiving foreign capital contributes to the economic growth countries tend to develop sustainable conditions to attract investment inflows into their economies. But a huge amounts of Chinese outward investments go into countries with low institutional quality is raising concerns. Many kinds of research have been made to investigate the relationship between Chinese outward FDI and the quality of institutions in host countries. In general.....

Abstract: This paper tackles the issues related to practices of multinational Firms in Africa. The paper shows that when the CSR of multinationals Initiative want to enter in the concept of social and Economic development they can tend to be poor in terms of environment requirements, social and economic achievements. The case of the Areva group in Niger is presented to shed light on the breach between CSR strategies and the local government in which they evolve. Therefore,Multinational companies are challenged to struggle and internalize negative externalities within their activities as well as participating in economic and social initiatives which will benefit and improve the overall quality of the society. In other Instances when there's high conflict between multinationals and stakeholders'tight regulations can be initiated such as standard of environment, Punishment measures and so on this can in turn prove as effective action to develop Social Responsibility among multinationals.

Abstract: It is an interesting discovery in the literature that Kaine Agary‟s Yellow-Yellow has received less attention with respect to its linguistic style. This research, therefore, undertakes a linguistic- stylistic study of the text with the aim of establishing its style in addition to interpreting its message. Employing Halliday‟s Functional Linguistics and linguistic stylistics as its theoretical basis, the study appraises the major lexical, lexico-semantic, grammatical and graphological features of the text. In so doing, it discovers that the text employs mainly concrete nouns, active and dynamic verbs, first person-pronoun "I", co-ordinate and simple sentences, semi-colon and exclamation marks as its peculiar linguistic features.It also deploys neologisms, sexist tropes, parallel clause structures, Nigerianisms and pidgin to beautify and contextualise the discourse. The research, therefore, submits that Agary plays a major role in the thematisation of the nation‟s ills and the stylistic development of linguistic and literary theories

Abstract: This essay offers a basic framework for analyzing the Libyan transition to democracy. The Libyan transition has covered an extensive time frame during which the state has regressed politically.Chivvis (2014) maintains that the absence of security is challenging an already problematic state building progression in Libya. The Jamahiriya (state of the masses) functioned along relatively weak administrative and political institutions, as such the National Transitional Committee (NTC) hoped, upon assuming power, to reconstruct major state structures and embark on the path to democracy within one year. Five years following the end of the Qaddafi regime and Libya is, nonetheless, in a transition phase. The Libyan transition is remarkable because this is the state‟s first democratic attempt since independence. This essay examines Libyan democratization by looking at the deficit of a modern (post-modern) political elite and the potential of civil society
