Enrollment and Retention in elementary education system depends upon various educational and socio-economic variables. In this paper, a statistical analysis of enrollment and dropout rates those are factorized on various socio-economic variables referred to as factors here. The major findings revealed that engagement of children in agriculture work, poor economic condition of parents, engagement of children in grazing cattle and marriage of children in early age have influence over enrollment and dropout rates in Rajasthan. By controlling these four socio-economic variables, dropout rate can be decreased and enrollment rate can be increased to a great extent in Rajasthan. The data for enrollment and dropout rates and many other educational variables across Rajasthan for the year 2010 are considered. <#LINE#> @ @ Mukherjee D., Reducing out-of-school children in India, National University of Educational Planning and Administration, Delhi (2011) @No $ @ @ Basumatary R., School dropout across Indian state and UTs: An econometric study, Int.

Sundarban is famous for its trees, deer and also for its world renowned Royal Bengal Tigers. The people who live nearby the Sundarban are engaged in honey collections, cutting woods and gollpata, fishing, catching crabs and shrimps and collecting snails for their consumption and livelihood. Among all these professionals, ‘mowals’ are the most vulnerable groups. This group of people needs to face many challenges from the beginning to the end of their journey towards honey collection. Need of money, security, honey market and many other obstacles they defeat with their excellent intelligence and indigenous techniques such as by taking loan from ‘mohajon’, staying in group to avoid attack of wild animals. By using observation and informal discussion along with secondary data, the researcher wants to know the challenges and coping strategies of ‘mowals’ throughout their honey collection process in Sundarban. <#LINE#> @ @ Ahmed M.U., Underlying Causes of Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Bangladesh, A report of Global Forest Coalition (GFC), the Netherlands (2008) @No $ @ @ Sarker K., Fisher Livelihoods in the Sundarbans.

The present study is placed in this context to examine the influence of SNS on interpersonal relationships of college students and also to construct a profile which can capture the college students’ usage pattern of SNS. Five hundred college students were selected from both Bangalore and Mysore cities for generating primary data; questionnaire and interview schedule methods were used for the said purpose. In the present study the concept of social network and social networking sites are explained in detail through sociological perspective. A greater section of this article is dedicated for discussing the growth of SNS in India, particularly among the college students. It was found that the usage of SNS has effect on interpersonal relationships of college students, particularly with their members of family, friends and teachers. It was also found that due to the availability of SNS the communication between college students and their members of family, between college students and their friends has increased. In this study college going students’ usage pattern of SNS, their purpose of usage of SNS, the amount of the time they spend, their preferred SNS, degree of their trustworthiness of online friends and much more interesting aspects have been dealt keeping the scientific research as base. It provides an outlook for investigating the technological implications on society in the domain of sociology. <#LINE#> @ @ Boase J., Horrigan J.B., Wellman B. and Rainie Lee, The Strength of Internet Ties: The internet and email aid users in maintaining their social networks and provide pathways to help when people face big decisions.

The problem of water shortage occurring in many urban centres of the world and Jorhat town is no exception to it. Therefore, the present study employs ‘Shortage of Domestic Water in Jorhat Town of Assam’. The main objectives of this study are to highlight present sources of supply of domestic water and to investigate gap between demand and supply of domestic water in the town. The data base of this study consists of both primary and secondary sources. The result pertains that all the municipal wards are not covered by the piped water connections and thus people still collecting water from other sources which are not safe for domestic consumption, fully contaminated. <#LINE#> @ @ Jury W.A. and Vaux H., The Role of Science in Solving the World’s emerging Water Problems, PNA102(44),15715-15720 (2005) @No $ @ @ Yoo S.H. and Yang C.Y., Role of Water Utility in the Korean National Economy, International Journal of Water Resource Development15, 527–541 (1999) @No $ @ @ Loukas A. and Mylopoulos N., Effects of Hydro technical Works Development and Water Resources Management on the Availability of Water Resources of Pinios river basin; In Moutzouris, C., Christodoulatos, C., Dermatas, D., Koutsospyros, A.D., Skanavis, C. and Stamou, A.

Equality and liberty – elements which are very important for giving people a chance to lead a happy and meaningful life, have constantly come under threat because of these institutions which have divided the nation and afflicted large sections of the population for a very long time. The Mandal Commission, headed by Bindheshwari Prasad Mandal (M.P.) was established in India, in 1979, by the Janata Party government under Prime Minister Morarji Desai with a mandate to identify the socially or educationally backward. It considered the question of seat reservations and quotas for people to redress caste discrimination, by using eleven social, economic, and educational indicators to determine backwardness. This essay is a critical examination of the Mandal commission report, its intent, execution and aftermath with respect to the values of equality and liberty. <#LINE#> @ @ Arkoday Roy, Creamy Layer: The Mandal Commission View - The Present Day Exclusion, February 13 (2011) @No $ @ @ Aruna Singh, A comment on the recommendations of the Mandal commission, August (1984) @No $ @ @ Satija Kalpana and Patel Mohan, Mainstreaming Women Employment and Human Development in Kheda District India- Sustainable Livelihood Approach to Poverty by UNDP, I.

One of the biggest challenges posing the industry is to attract and retain the talent. One of the strategies adopted to counter this challenge is to rehire former employees. While most of the companies do re hire former employees, surprisingly, the entire process is adhoc. This paper tries to highlight the importance of process based rehiring to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of rehiring. The paper also presents some of the facts that were collected during the research work on trends and effectiveness rehiring of former employees in Indian industries with a special focus on knowledge industry like Banking and Finance, IT/ITES, Healthcare etc. In conclusion, Regardless of whether a company is big or small, the benefits of rehiring former employees can be numerous; there's less training time, they have pre-existing knowledge of the company's culture and if they work for you, they don't work for your competitor. But bringing back an employee can have its drawbacks too. There may be lingering feelings of anger or betrayal, or it could create resentment on the part of former employees. Also, it's important to keep in mind that there was a reason why the employee left the first time.<#LINE#> @ @ Mike Nxele, Challenges of Talenct Acquisition and Retention in an Era of Brain Drain, http://www.ituglobalsymposium2008.info/Doc 19 (2008) @No $ @ @ Dwane Lay, Rehiring Ex-Employees, http://leanhrblog.com / (2012) @No $ @ @ Yasmin Taj, Re-Hiring Ex-Employees?, http://loungerecruiters.wordpress.com/, (2007) @No $ @ @ Dr. John Sullivan, Boomerangs: The Strategic Process of Rehiring Your Former Employees, Part 1, www.ere.net, (2006) @No $ @ @ @No
