Abstract:Perspectives: Physical education takes a crucial role in education. Truly to educate our future generation and to help them to lead healthy and prosperous life, side by side with the general education physical education in its augmented total quality is to be introduced from early school level. Now, to maintain total quality of physical education we have to take scientific footing to discern the attitude of the students as well as the teachers of Secondary and Higher Secondary schools towards physical education as a preliminary step. This one was a longitudinal study carried out through quasi-experimental research design. A sample of 128 B.P.Ed students was chosen from different teacher education institutions of West Bengal by stratified random sampling technique The Attitudes toward Physical Education Scale was administered on the sample in three different phases – at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the session. From the Paired Samples "t" - test it was observed that there was statistically significant increase in the mean of the attitude scores from the 1st phase (M = 98.41) to the 2nd phase of testing (M = 102.01) and again to the 3rd phase of testing (M = 105.24).

Abstract:In the country like India where the discretionary powers are conferred upon administrative institutions. This concentration of power is responsible for the breeding of corrupt practices. As Lord Acton rightly said, "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely". Procedures to seek remedies against administrative actions are woefully inadequate. Courts exercise control over administrative actions, but they have only a peripheral role. The administrative departments themselves have a control mechanism which has been found to be grossly inadequate to redress the grievances of people. Hence, there has been a need to have a strong anti-corruption body free from the influence of the government that can keep a check on public institution. So, a strong lokpal may be the appropriate authority for this purpose. This paper tries to highlight the perspective of Second Administrative Reforms Commission regarding corruption and lokpal.

Abstract:Perfectionism is a personality trait characterized by striving for flawlessness and setting excessively high standards for performance, accompanied by tendencies toward overly critical evaluations of one's behaviour. In physical education teachers training curriculum there is ample scope of rigorous physical activity as well as educational and mental exercise; so the main goal of the present study was to ascertain the impact of this training on management of Perfectionism. To measure Perfectionism of prospective teachers in physical education, Perfectionistic Self-Presentation Scale (PSPS) was administered on students of B.P.Ed. Course in three different phases during the academic session 2006 – 2007. The mean of the 1st Factor of PSPS (i.e., Perfectionistic Self-Promotion: proclaiming and displaying one's perfection) scores of 1st, 2nd and 3rd phase of testing were 50.69, 41.82 and 25.22 respectively. In 2nd Factor of PSPS: (i.e., Non-display of Imperfection: concealing and avoiding behavioral demonstration of one's imperfection) these were 52.90, 44.65 and 28.38 respectively. In 3rd Factor (i.e., Non-disclosure of Imperfection: evading and avoiding verbal admission of one's imperfection) the means were 54.23, 47.64 and 31.14 respectively. We may conclude that the physical education teachers' training programme (B.P.Ed. Course) have positive impact on management of Perfectionism.

Abstract: As a colonial mechanism of exploitation the British under East India Company invented and experimented different land revenue settlements in colonized India. Historically, this becomes a major issue of discussion among the scholars in the context of exploitation versus progressive mission in British India. Here, in this paper an attempt has been made to analyze and to interpret the prototype, methods, magnitudes, and farreaching effects of the three major (Zamindari, Raiytwari and Mahalwari) land revenue settlements in a comparative way. And eventually this paper has tried to show the cause-effects relationship of different modes of revenue assessments, which in turn, how it facilitated Englishmen to provide huge economic vertebrae to the Imperial Home Country, and how it succors in altering Indian traditional society and economic set up.
