Title | : | Failure of Formal Education in India – A Blessing for Child Labour? |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr. K. Chandrasegaran |
: | 10.9790/0837-1630722 |
Abstract: In this article an attempt is made to examine the education policy of the State in relation to children below the age of fourteen in India. It is specifically related to child labor and more so, in the context of the need for protection of their rights through appropriate measures more particularly, via compulsory education. The discussion is wrapped in three sections. The first one brings in the influence of education on the growth and development of mankind, the second one devotes to the scheme of 'wholesome childhood' envisaged in various provisions of the Constitution and finally, the discussion exposes the dual speak of the State. The critical part of the analysis highlights the difference between formal and non - formal education and further unravels the sympathy of the State towards non - formal education to favour employment of children in the name of social justice but in reality to sustain child labour.

Abstract: The use of social media like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube is a prevalent phenomenon among Nigerian university students. This work particularly examined the use of social media among students of selected universities in South-East Nigeria. The study was conducted using survey research method, with 300 as sample; multi-stage sampling technique was applied to draw the samples and questionnaire was the measuring instrument. Tables, mean, a pie chart and standard deviations were used for data presentation and analyses. The study found out that students use social media for purposes of getting entertainment, education/information; they use social media to discuss national issues, engage in cyber crimes and expose themselves to pornography. So, the students' use of social media reduces the time they devote to their studies. From these findings, the researchers recommended that there ought to be social media Acts that would stipulate the dos and don'ts in the students and public uses of social networking sites in Nigeria.

Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the women's SHGs under IFAD support in Ukhrul District, the North Eastern Region of Manipur State, India. SHGs in 10 villages of the study area were selected for the study purposively. Data collection methods included survey and analysis of Status Report (UDCRMS/IFAD). The technique used was personal interview with SHG leaders, representatives, and key IFAD staff. The tools comprised an interview schedule. A focus group discussion was also held with the SHGs members at the village level. The results revealed that though the SHGs confounded by many regional complexities, there is a better and faster spread in its growth and development. In the context of Ukhrul District's traditional institution, women do not have much say in decision making and credit is considered as man's domain. However, this position is slowly reversing by means of building the confidence of the individual members through forming SHGs.

Abstract: Mahatma Gandhi was a difficult person, quite adamant and stubborn with his principle of non-violence but eventually it was non-violent resistant that won freedom for us, the Indians with all dignity, respect and awe. Gandhian concept of freedom is necessary more than anything else in the present day conflict torn world; a world where man is pitted against man, nation against nation and religion against religion. If we strive for freedom, then Gandhian principles are the pre-requisite which will lead us to that freedom. Freedom is the sum total of self-respect, self-restraint and maturity as preached by Gandhi and which can alone be attained through non-violence. History bears evidence where freedom was won by waging war at the expense of lives; however history has also shown freedom or 'swaraj' can be achieved through Gandhian non-violence. This non-violent way of life may bring an end to internal struggle or disputes in several parts of the world which is being frequently witnessed today. With this aim in view, our present paper is an attempt to analyse Gandhian concept of freedom and non-violence to indicate its potential contribution to the present day society.

Title | : | Export Growth and Poverty Reduction in Nigeria |
Country | : | Kenya |
Authors | : | Ovikuomagbe Oyedele, Uduakobong Eddy-Ewoh |

Abstract: This study examines the effect of the growth of total exports on poverty reduction in Nigeria for the period 1980 to 2010. Using the ordinary least squares (OLS), after correcting for stationarity and heteroskedasticity biases, the results show that the growth rate of total export value or earnings is positively significant to explain changes in the real gross domestic product per capita used as a proxy for poverty. Thus an increase in the total export value increases the real gross domestic product per capita and thus reduces poverty. The total export volume however is not significant. Separating the total export volume into oil and nonoil exports, nonoil export growth was found to have a positive effect on the real gross domestic product per capita while the effect of oil export growth is negative. However, both were insignificant. The study concludes that a diversification of Nigeria's export from the predominantly oil exports to incorporate nonoil exports that have a higher export value going by the world market price is expedient.

Abstract: The study aims to analyze the factors influencing the women rights in Sind. The right to education is recognized as a human right by the United Nations. In this study we analyzed all those factors, bad policies, religious ground, social and cultural limitations, lack of interest, and lack of access to it and analyzed their effect on female education enrollment in Sukkur city. The study was a quantitative research so strategy of research was survey and questionnaire. The target population for the study was large and diverse therefore stratified random sampling technique was used. The main tools for data collection were questionnaires and interview schedules. Document analysis was also used in the study. Data was analyzed statistically. Our results suggest that the lack of good policies, income of the family, education of the parents and distance of school from home have a significant impact on the schooling decision for girls. The paper will contribute to the literature in such a manner that it investigates the factors that affect schooling decisions for girls.

Abstract: Researchers have made conclusive findings on the benefits of using music in the language learning classroom. Merged with the right pedagogical approaches, music can be a contributive factor to the learning of new vocabulary, certain word and phrases enable teachers to elicit interpretive meaning from students, experiential learning can also be sparked up where students can use their own experiences to explain the main message of the lyrics of the whole song. Teachers can also use music to supplement the reading material studies prior to listening to the song. The reading material must have ties with the music chosen. Through good planning, and strategies which enhance the four language skills, music and its lyrics and the literary text, can indeed create a very enjoyable classroom atmosphere. This, in itself would optimize learning.

Abstract: This paper interrogates the nexus between internal migration on the one hand, and ethnicity and internal security on the other. Relying on both primary and secondary sources of data, it seeks evidence for the relationships between internal migration and security in Nigeria by examining the various security implications of uncontrolled Fulani herdsman ship of cattle in South-West Nigeria, using Ekiti State as case study. The paper emphasizes the roles that public policy, community leadership and institutional action can play in streamlining relations between migrant groups and host communities in situations where government has not been directly involved in moderating relations between such groups of people. The paper then assesses the implications of this development for national unity, security and development. Finally, the paper makes recommendations for resolving the issues thrown up in the analysis.

Title | : | Ragang based Raga Identification system |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Awadhesh Pratap Singh Tomer |
: | 10.9790/0837-1638385 |
Abstract: The paper describes the importance of Ragang in the Raga classification system and its utility as being unique musical patterns; in raga identification. The idea behind the paper is to reinvestigate Ragang with a prospective to use it in digital classification and identification system. Previous works in this field are based on Swara sequence and patterns, Pakad and basic structure of Raga individually. To my best knowledge previous works doesn't deal with the Ragang Patterns for identification and thus the paper approaches Raga identification with a Ragang (musical pattern group) base model. This work also reviews the Thaat-Raagang classification system. This describes scope in application for Automatic digital teaching of classical music by software program to analyze music (Classical vocal and instrumental). The Raag classification should be flawless and logically perfect for best ever results.

Abstract: In Malaysia, about 166,188 fishers (locals and foreigners) do not fully enjoy the protection and benefits that other segment of workers are getting although by law they are entitled to be treated as legitimate workers. The ILO Work in Fishing Convention (the Convention) and its accompanying Work in Fishing Recommendation is about providing fishers the right to have decent working condition on board of fishing vessels. Although Malaysia, a party to the Convention, does not rectify the Convention, some local laws are already in place to tackle the fisher's matters. The objective of this paper is thus to perform Gap Analysis (comparative analysis) which helps to determine whether the current local laws are consistent with the provisions contained in the Convention. It is found that in general, the existing local laws are adequate to ensure fishers receive reasonable attention from their employers; however it is up to the authority to enforce the laws.

Abstract: The environment plays an important role in the development of children. The paper specifically focuses on the influence parents have on the development of their children whether they are biological, adoptive, or guardian parents. In terms of the parental role in development, the paper examines how parents influence the emotional, moral, and social development of their children. As children grow up, there are many aspects of their lives which influence and affect their development and behaviors. One of the most important facets during this time period of development is the parental figures in their life. They play a large role in the social and emotional behaviors a child will possess during childhood and later in life as well. The way a parent socializes may have a slight amount to do with their genetic makeup, but due to the child's interactions with and observations of, the parents contribute more to the social and empathy related development than heredity does .When children observe their parents emotions, they feel that that is how they should be reacting as well.

Abstract: The study of spatio-temporal distribution of rural markets in Bekwarra Local Government Area of Cross River State of Nigeria was conducted to identify and explain the order that exist in the pattern of distribution of rural markets in space, time and function as well as commodities offered for sale and the spheres of influence of markets in the area. Data used for this research were obtained from field observation, measurements and questionnaire interviews. A total of 472 persons were interviewed in the eleven markets covered in the study. Data collected were presented in tables and maps. The hypothesis on the spatial distribution of markets was tested using nearest neighbor statistics while the one on the difference between mean distances of same-day markets and adjacent-day markets was tested using students t-test. The outcome of the study shows that markets in Bekwarra Local Government Area are randomly distributed. Same-day markets were found to be more widely spaced than adjacent-day markets. All markets adopt a 5-day periodicity regime and fall under two temporal cycles. Three classes of markets were identified; local, state and national markets. Agricultural produce and local craft products are the major commodities offered for sale in the markets. The paper recommends spatial re-organization of market centers to enhance their viability and to remove unhealthy competition for patronage.
