ABSTRACT
T
he world is developing in different dimensions. A number of new issues have to be
addressed to effect social and economic progress of every nation. The most important
one is womens empowerment because in many countries women are marginalized section of the
society .In the beginning as a step towards womens empowerment, financial empowerment of
women through microfinance programs were engineered by a few well thinking planners to generate
income and employment and alleviate poverty especially in the developing countries. The approach
is accepted by the World Bank and other financial institutions as an important tool for poverty
eradication and enhancement of living standards. Moreover, microfinance has come to be regarded
as a supplementary development tool that widens the financial service delivery system by linking a
large rural women population with formal financial institutions through self-help groups.

ABSTRACT
T
he present study aimed at the heteroscedasticity analysis of Inter-state migration in
India. Migration is the geographic movement of people across a specified boundary for
the purpose of establishing a new permanent or semi-permanent residence. The main objective of
this studyis to be the spatial pattern and levels of inter state migration and to understand how
regional disparities in development influences inter state migration pattern in India. This study is
based on 2001 census migration data. In this analysis, two rates were considered namely in migration
and out migration rates. It has been computed separately for both male and female. The researcher
has been used heteroscedasticity Spearman rank correlation, Goldfeld Quandt test, Park test and
percentage for the purpose of analysis and interpretation of the data. Econometric analysis of
heteroscedasticity has been used to find out the linkage between regional disparities in development
and migration. It shows that people mainly moved to the states were have higher growth rates of
urbanization and achieved higher economic development.

ABSTRACT
I
n order to align the various Government services with best practices of the developed
countries, e-governance in developing countries has emerged not only as a useful tool to
make government more efficient; rather its effectiveness ranged, if not restricted from creation of
a decentralized to a corruption free system. In India, through National e-Governance plan several
significant initiatives have already been taken to implement different e-Governance projects across
the country to give Governments internal and external communication a facelift through speed,
accuracy, simplicity leading to operational, economic and environmental efficiency. Realizing the
potentials of e-Governance, the Government of West Bengal has taken up several initiatives to generate
multi-faceted changes in the life of both urban and rural residents. This paper attempts to evaluate
selected e-Governance initiatives of West Bengal in the light of sustainability, against a theoretical
background.

ABSTRACT
T
his study serves to identify the enabling factors that contribute to the sustainability
of green economy, in case of negative factors, the constraints that the development has
faced in achieving sustainability. Due to the economic development and to rapid growth of population,
the ecology and natural environment have been gradually damaged by various pollution problems
threatening public health and living environment. Green Economy and Sustainable Development is
the process by which development is regulated. It does not involve managing the environment
itself, but it is the process of taking steps and behaviors to have a positive effect on the environment
and sustainable development. What do green economy policies, as well as different models of
transition, imply for the continuity or transformation of structures, institutions and social relations
that reproduce or reinforce inequality and vulnerability? In this backdrop the problem of green
economy and development represents a general problem of the mankind, a problem that needs a
modern, systematic and integrative approach for sustainability. The systematic approach for green
economy continuity, transformation of structures and institutions with social relations allows, on
one hand, the global development of the problems according to an adequate policy, and on the
other hand, builds the frame for the solving of the actual problems and for the supervision of the
activity concerning the sustainable development and ecological protection. Further the paper will
be dealt with the performances obtained in the field of green economy and sustainable development
and management depend on the exploitation of the new knowledge sources. By transforming the
green economy model there are two major ways of reducing negative human impact and enhancing
ecosystem services. Conversely, how do existing patterns of inequality and vulnerability obstruct or
facilitate the potential for different approaches to green economy to contribute to sustainable
development and poverty eradication with sustainable future.

COMMUNITY POLICING AND CRIME PREVENTION: A
REVIEW STUDY

ABSTRACT
C
ommunity plays an important role to have peace and security in the society. When
we say peace and security it is important to concentrate on crime rate. When can there
be peace in the society, how are we to protect the society are some of the aspects which needs to be
concentrated. The recent statistics shows us that the rate of crime is in an increasing trend. Why is
it so? Who are responsible? What is to be done? These are the questions to be answered with
appropriate implications to see that the crime rate does not go in the present trend. The main
reason for that is the public-police ratio. Due to the increasing population the number of police
persons is insufficient. In such situation the police cannot control the crime easily and the public
raises the finger on the working of the police. The second reason for increasing crime is the lack of
faith of the public on the police. People do not report for the crime thinking that police will not do
anything which boosts up the moral of the criminals. Both the reasons are very justified.
People today are not in a position to move around alone leaving aside the women and
children when men are not secured. We are in such a society where though the individual has it he
/she is not in a position to enjoy it. For example women are fond of gold ornaments even though
they purchase they dont wear because of the fear of insecurity. They are many instances which can
be quoted like we speak about woman liberation but how safe is a women to move about alone what
stops her is the question to be thought and can it be made possible.
Community has long been invoked as a positive tool through crimes can be controlled.
Sociological analyses of crime and community from the 1930s till date have revealed how patterns
of crime differ from place to place and the study of the area wise crime helps us to know how a
particular type of crime which is in a particular area can be controlled .this is possible only by the
intervention or by the participation of Community. (Evans 1997, Hope 2001, Hope and Foster 1992,
Walklate and Evans 1999).
This paper helps us to know the role played by the community in prevention of crime and
what are the measures to be taken up to make community policing more effective.

ABSTRACT
A
Double Taxation avoidance agreement is an agreement entered into between two
countries in order to avoid taxing the same income twice, promote exchange of goods,
persons, services and investment of capital. International juridical double Taxation can be generally
defined as, The Imposition of comparable taxes in two or more states on the same tax payer in
respect of the same subject matter and for identical periods. Its harmful effects on the exchange of
goods and services and movements of capital technology and persons are so well known that it is
scarcely necessary to stress the importance of removing the obstacles that double taxation present
to the development of economic relations between countries. Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement
is a tax treaty that India has with 101 countries. In simple language, what it means for an NRI is, if
he/she is a resident in any of those 101 countries and is paying taxes on the income earned in that
country, then he/she is eligible for a lower deduction of tax on income earned in India in that
financial year.
In the present scenario Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement in India with Tax Haven
countries are misused by the individual, corporate etc. to be more specific, India is also in the list of
nations who loses huge revenue because of tax havens. Though the Government had entered into
DTAA with tax haven countries, there is lack of transparency and lack of establishment of effective
exchange of information in tax matters. It does not generate enough revenue from both tax and
non-tax sources. This contributes to budget deficit on an annual basis and impacts negatively on
development and economic growth, creating a culture of aid dependency. Limited revenue
mobilization may result from failure by governments to rally enough taxes through revenue
administration.

ABSTRACT
A
trade deficit occurs when the value of a countrys imports is greater than the value
of its exports. This means that the countrys balance of trade is negative. Obviously, a
trade deficit is caused when a country cannot produce all it needs. However, the true causes run a
little deeper than that. A country cannot have a trade deficit unless other countries are willing to
loan it the funds needed to finance the purchases of imports. Therefore, a country with a trade
deficit will most likely have a current account deficit (CAD). The largest element is the trade deficit.
When the country imports more goods and services than it exports, another element is a deficit in
net income, when foreign investment income exceeds the savings of the countrys inhabitants. This
kind of foreign investment gives the direction towards economic growth. However, if they do not get
a return on their investment with a reasonable amount of time, they will withdraw their funds,
causing anxiety.

ABSTRACT
T
he English term Tribe is derived from the Latin word tribus designating a particular
kind of social and political organization existing in all the societies. Originally, it was
used to imply three divisions among the early Romans. Later on, it was used to mean the poor or
the masses. In English language, the word appeared in the sixteenth century denoted a community
of persons claiming descent from a common ancestor. In India, the term tribe has legal and
administrative connotations. British census officials-cum-anthropologists first used the term tribe
for the purpose of enumerating social groups in India and the term was used from 1881 to 1931
censuses. The Government of India Act, 1935 used the term backward tribe. The Indian Constitution
has retained the terminology with slight modification using Scheduled in place of Backward.
India has been rightly described as a melting pot of race and tribes. The tribals in India are
an integral part of the Indian civilization. Various elements in the ancient civilization of India were
contributed by the tribals. The tribal culture blooms in the isolated highlands and forests of India. It
is not easy to define a tribe or a tribal society conclusively and by any standardization in this regard
is very difficult. A tribe is a social group with territorial affiliation, endogamous, with no specialization
of functions, ruled by tribal officers, hereditary or otherwise, united in language or dialect, recognizing
social distance with other tribes or castes, without any social obligation attaching to them. Ideally,
tribal societies are small in scale and are restricted in the spatial and temporal range of their social,
legal, and political relations, and posses, morality, a religion and world-view of corresponding
dimensions. A tribe may be a collection of families bearing a common name, speaking a common
dialect and occupying a common territory, yet is not usually endogamous. A tribe is a group of
people occupying a contingent territory and having a feeling of unity deriving from numerous
similarities in culture, frequent contacts and it also have community interest. They also have faith
in a common ancestor.

IS FEMALE REALLY THE SECOND SEX?
ECOFEMINISM AS VOICE OF THE VOICELESS
Dr.V D.Radhakrishnan

ABSTRACT
T
here is an increasing trend of looking down upon women as the second sex. In fact,
this reveals the inability of the contemporary society to cope with difference. Some people
view this inability as similar to the development paradigm that leads to the displacement and extinction
of diversity in the biological world. The patriarchal model of progress achieves at the cost of diversity,
thereby pushing society towards monocultures, uniformity and lack of heterogeneity. In this perverted
logic of progress, even conservation suffers. Agricultural development continues to work towards
erasing diversity. Ecofeminism holds the view that an attractive calculus of productivity and skill
can be built that respects, not destroy diversity. In many Third World societies, biodiversity is
simultaneously a means of production and an object of consumption. Ecofeminists argue that
patriarchal societys values and beliefs have resulted in the oppression of both women and nature.
It blames the androcentric dualism man/woman. This dualism distinguishes men from women on
the grounds of some alleged quality such as larger brain size, and then assumes that this distinction
confers superiority upon men. Similarly the anthropocentric dualism humanity/nature is the ultimate
source of anti-ecological beliefs and practices. It distinguishes humans from nature on the grounds
of some alleged quality such as possession of an immortal soul or rationality, and then assumes
that this distinction confers superiority upon men. Ecofeminists identify logic of domination in
these arguments. They argue that the patriarchal society asserts this domination by presenting
their master model that women have been associated with nature, the material, the emotional, and
the particular, while men have been associated with culture, the nonmaterial, the rational, and the
abstract. Here, we see a convergence between the feminists and ecologists, preparing a common
ground of struggle for equity-social, economic, cultural and political.

and is a finite and valuable resource upon which we depend for basic amenities of
life. Soil, especially the topsoil is classified as a renewable resource because it is
continuously regenerated by natural process at a very slow rate. With increasing population, the
dependency for arable land to produce food, fiber and fuel wood is also increasing. Hence, there is
more and more pressure on the limited land resources which are getting degraded due to over
exploitation. Agriculture, being the main livelihood of rural India, natural resources management
with sound environmental principles is essential for protection and conservation. In this context an
attempt is made here to study the status of land soil resources with respect to land capability, Land
irrigability soil class, soil depth, soil texture, soil slope, soil gravelliness soil degradation and soil
quality in Dharmavaram mandal of drought prone Anantpur district, Andhra Pradesh.

ABSTRACT
E
conomics is used to explain human behavior based on the rational choices of
individuals acting in their own self-interest through getting information. The economics
of information is quietly different from classic goods and services viz.., cars, restaurant meals, or
pencils. Information good have been differed from other goods by its different features. Basically
information has large fixed costs of producing the first unit and relatively lower marginal cost for
producing additional units. The value of information depends on when it is sold. Information when
sold is still retained by the seller; information when purchased cannot be easily returned. And
information can be enjoyed by more than one consumer without a decrease in the amount produced.
Social networking sites are online spaces that allow individuals to present themselves, expressive
their social networks, and establish or maintain connections with others. Social networking sites
now rival search engines as the most visited sites on the Web; Facebook now has close to half a
billion users. The key features of such sites are user-constructed public or semi-public profiles, a
set of connections to other users on the system, and the ability to view and follow ones own
connections as well as the connections of others.

prosperity. In modern economy commercial banks play an important role. These days
the function of commercial banks is confined not only to advancing loan to the public and accepting
their deposits, they also contribute in accelerating the economic development. A strong banking
sector is important for flourishing economy; however the problem of NPA is an alarming threat to
the banking industry in our country sending distressing signal on the sustainability and endurability
of the affected banks. Thus there is a need to study the position of NPA in commercial banks.

ABSTRACT
A
s a Company grows, relying on manual HR systems to manage activities like worldwide
safety, benefits administration, payroll and succession planning become unwidely. More
firms are therefore automating and integrating their HR systems into human resource information
systems (HRIS). Thus HRIS is defined as interrelated components working together to collect, process,
store and disseminate information to support decision making, coordination, control, analysis and
visualization of an organisations human resource management activities.

ABSTRACT
T
he newly formed Indian government has increased the railway charges to the tune of
14%, and wants to improve the Railways in general and passenger amenities in particular.
In this connection a study has been conducted to know the satisfaction levels of passengers towards
the on board amenities in Indian railways. India has the largest network of railways throughout the
country. Indian railway network is the largest in Asia and the second largest in the world. Andhra
Pradesh has an extensive railway line to cover all the parts of state and also its surrounding States.
The trains which travel from one state to another state would pass through Andhra Pradesh, and all
the passengers would get chance to visit Andhra Pradesh. The state today has progressed in all the
aspects and railways played a significant role in developing industries and tourism in the state. The
major problem faced by Indian railways is frequent accidents with old and outdated tracks, wagons
and some single line routes. There is also negligence of employees due to lack of regular training
and control. Many passengers have to reach the destination very fast and have to catch the connecting
trains / air / bus. But they are facing problem when the trains are running late and sometimes
sudden cancelations. This causes not only the cost but also dissatisfaction of the passengers unlike
in advanced countries. The main aim of my research is to identify the attributes which passengers
use to evaluation the service quality of Indian railways and passengers satisfaction.
