Abstract:India began liberalizing its economy and in particular, it's manufacturing sector over a decade ago with the objective of making Indian Industries more efficient and globally competitive. Towards this end, the Government has been pursuing three sets of reforms:- one, deregulation, delicencing, decontrol and debureaucratisation of industrial licensing system; two, liberalizing foreign trade and currency transactions and three, instituting several measures to facilitate foreign direct investment inflows. All these measures were launched in the year 1991 and since then, further liberalizations have been introduced every year with each new budget. Now the question arises that had economic reforms had an impact on Indian industry? In order to answer this question, we examine trends in industrial production for the period 1950-51 to 1989-90 and 1990-91 to 2011-12 using the latest available estimates of the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) released by the Central Statistical Organization and Economic Survey, Government of India. The results shows that the decade of 1950's, industrial efficiency was relatively higher; however, in the 1960's and 1970's there was severe retrogression in industrial growth. The period of 1980's was marked by industrial recovery. However, the pattern began reversing themselves in 1990's. But now, particularly after 2002-03, the Indian industry have started showing some signs of improvement in its performance, thus providing some evidence that these reforms seems to be working.

Abstract:Different management styles are in vogue in the management world and are practised by educational managers to enhance individual and collective efficiency of employees. The study surveys the efficacy of participative management style that to what extent it is effective in the modern educational requirements. The study was conducted on one hundred elementary and secondary schools' educational managers of public and private sectors. The data were collected through a questionnaire regarding the type of management educational managers/administrators practise in their organizations. The results reflect that private sector school managers prefer participative management style to others for effective output and achieve various academic and administrative benefits as compared to public sector educational managers who appear to be reluctant to practise participative management style and their practised approach manifests that they like to remain dominant in administrative affairs. But through participative management style millions of public sector students could be given harmonious educational environment which is friendly, accommodating and helpful in their academic career and could bring back the golden days of public sector schools. Hence, the study suggests that public sector school managers should be offered management courses frequently so that by implementing participative management style quality education could be ensured.
Key Words: Management, educational managers, collective efficacy, participative management,

Abstract:Although a literary term used primarily to ridicule somebody or some issue Satire has been used very effectively by the satirical media in Pakistan through various late night T.V talk shows. This article examines the role being played by T.V talk shows amalgamated with satire, irony or caricature to either develop the perception of the people or get them familiarized with on going socio-political, socio-economic and educational issues/happenings in Pakistan. The qualitative study was conducted, through focused group interview, on 100 University students. The subjects apparently appear to be appropriate sample because they represent a majority that remains unmoved because of monotony in various talk shows but is capable of steering socio-economic, educational and democracy boat in the right direction if attracted properly to un-talked issues in the country. In the light of the findings of the study it is concluded that such monotony takes the general masses, especially youth, away from ongoing debatable issues of Pakistan but the mimicking media has brought the same general masses and youth back to feel concerned about such issues to form their opinions. Further, the subjects suggest that free media in Pakistan is at growing stage and socio-economic, socio-political or educational, etc., issues may not be discussed bitterly but in a light tone and manner to educate people rather to irritate. Hence, mimicking media could be a very positive effort by T.V channels to educate people of Pakistan where much is to be done in social sector so that they may contribute effectively to make Pakistan socially, economically, educationally and politically a stable and progressive country.
Key Words: Mimicking media, satire, irony, caricature, socio-economic, socio-political, educational, light tone

Abstract:Investigation of creativity in the context of learning is receiving much attention of researchers. In this context, an approach to study is an important factor to study creativity. An approach to study is a multidimensional construct. Among those different dimensions, deep approach has been selected particularly as a factor in the present study to investigate creativity in the context of learning physics. Major objectives of the study were to investigate how different sub- dimensions of deep approach (namely deep processing, use of evidence, relating ideas, and intrinsic motivation), and also deep approach, as a whole, are related to creativity in physics- both in the bi variate and multivariate levels.
Key Words:Coefficients of correlation, Creativity in physics, Deep Approach to Study, Multiple Regression Analyses, Sub-dimensions of Deep Approach.

Abstract:When writing about gender bias, it is important to define and understand the term Gender is defined by the American Heritage Dictionary of "Classification of Sex", and bias is defined as "Preference or prejudice". Thus gender bias is separation of gender in a way which prefers our sex over the other. Gender bias is one of the major issue in many countries and largely in India. This practice is as old as society. A great political thinker Aristotle himself discriminated by stating "Women not have strength as men and they are not eligible for outside work. Until 1875 women were not legally defined as persons in The United State (U.S.) and they are denied by visiting until early 20th century. Today also religion not allowed women to lead free life. Muslim women put burkhas on their face. Hindu religion also put many restriction on women. All this fad indicates that how women were faced discrimination since the early age.

Abstract:Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) with respect to Indian firms can be viewed as a strategic factor which ensures that firms have the social license to operate business, to mitigate reputational and operational risk and finally guarantee that their business keeps progressing upwards. The Government of India facilitates such top organization with the freedom and good will to extend their support towards the development of their organization and the society at large. But, how far it is being carried out is a million dollar questions that only deep probing would clarify. A survey conducted by the Sirota Survey Intelligence (2007) affirmed that employees who are satisfied with their organization's commitment to social and environmental responsibilities are likely to be positive and more productive than those working for less responsible employers and when employees are positive about their organizations' CSR commitment, their engagement rises to 86 percent.

Abstract:V.S. Naipaul, one of the greatest Caribbean writers in English, has been a great novelist and travel writer. Expatriate writing occupies a significant position between cultures and countries. It generates theory and defines positions as it constructs a new identity which negotiates boundaries and confines and relates to different temporal and spatial metaphors. Cultures travel, take root or get dislocated and individuals internalize nostalgia or experience amnesia, Writers living abroad live on the margins of two societies and cultural theory is today being created by people who live on the margins. Naipaul himself admits that his magnificent obsession is India. On one hand we find Surekha Dangwal substantiating Naipaul for his expatriate outlook and on the other we find that Rai Sudha has a contrary view to hold on Naipaul. Naipaul recaptures the idyllic world of his childhood, but it is only an old childhood Hindu world he can peacefully and joyously relate to. Indian landscape has come in for lot of appreciation from V.S.Naipaul. The Dal Lake, Shimla, Jammu and Kashmir, Vijayanagar Empire, Bombay, Calcutta, and Goa harbour are meticulously described. V.S.Naipaul's opinion on India is a prejudiced one.
