Abstract: Organizing rural women through Self Help Groups and equip them to earn income by the formation of microenterprises have created an economic revolution in Odisha, India. Empowerment of women through microenterprises in rural Odisha can challenge their traditional practice and culture to effectively promote their well being. The present study addresses women empowerment through microenterprises in Cuttack district of Odisha. In this research work, field data were collected from rural women based on their working pattern, economic condition, family background, education level, and size of the family. Descriptive Statistics including frequencies, percentage, mean and standard deviations were carried out to draw meaningful interpretation of the results and to find out the reasons for joining the microenterprises. The result of the study revealed that microenterprises programmes have had greater impact on both social and economical aspects of the rural women in Odisha. The successful functioning of microenterprises provides economic independence to women leading to their empowerment.

Abstract: Yorùbá movies producers seem to have devoted much attention to the visual quality and the thematic thrust of their works to the detriment of some seemingly unimportant aspect of their products. One of these neglected or underestimated aspects is the issue of subtitles, the written translations of the dialogues in English Language. This paper selects seven Yorùbá movies for a detailed evaluation. Errors in concord, spelling, tense, aspect and wrong selection of words are very rampant in these movies such that one wonders why such neglect and carelessness should be allowed in such movies that are very rich in thematic thrusts and excellent in visual quality. These errors are not only highlighted, they are discussed, analysed and attempts have been made to propose what should have been the correct versions of the wrong translations that are pointed out. This paper throws a big challenge to films producers to pay attention to this important issue and allow specialists in different areas so that their products will not be lacking in quality.

Abstract: Christians and Muslims both claim brotherhood with Jesus, son of Mary. Their respective arguments are based on the Bible and the Qur'an. Prophet Muhammad (SAW1), whom Muslims hold as the seal of the prophets, even goes further to say in one of his hadiths that no other person is closer to him, both in this world and in the world to come, than Jesus. The Holy Qur'an makes mention of his name more often than that of Muhammad (SAW) through whom it was revealed. A comparative study of this prominent religious figure would therefore be of great interest, using the Bible, the Quran and the Hadiths of prophet Muhammad (SAW) as primary sources.

Abstract: For many poor people around the world migration is a way of life, and has been for centuries. But globalization has radically altered the scale of migration: people are now more aware of opportunities elsewhere and it has become easier for them to travel. The seasonal migration of agricultural labourers is not a new phenomenon in Karnataka and India. Britishers had mobilized labour force for commercial crop production, mining and for other administrative purposes during their rule. As a result of the defective policies of agricultural development the regional disparity is increasing even after independence leading to the increase in the seasonal migration of agricultural labourers. In the state of Karnataka there is a wide gap between South and North Karnataka as far as development is concerned and this regional disparity has become a political issue. Many social, economic, political and psychological reasons pull them to migrate for survival and improvement of livelihood. This paper is an effort to identify some of the main causes for the agricultural labour migration from north Karnataka to south Karnataka

Key words: North Karnataka, South Karnataka, agriculture labour, regional migration.
