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.

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.
