It gives us a pleasure that Indian Academic Researchers’ Association made our college as one of the
collaborator in the Seven Days Online Faculty Development Programme on Advanced Research
Methodology on and from 19th July to 25th July, 2020.
When all over India all academic institutions are closed due to COVID-19 Pandemic this FDP involves
the Teachers, Scholars and Research lovers in such an academic endeavour which motivate, encourages and
provide sufficient knowledge on advanced research methodology to the participants. The experienced and
knowledgeable resource persons from different concern of India and even from abroad encouraged and
motivated them with their expertise, so that one participants comments as “ Sir all the sessions were very
informative. Being from humanities background, I don’t have much exposure to empirical research. But this
FDP has awaken my curiosity and desire to know more about other types of research and research methods
of which I had only vague knowledge before. This is why I tried to step out of my comfort zone and
present a paper on behavioural economics.” This is the achievement of this FDP.
I wish after completing this FDP college & University teachers will be more and more involved in the
research activities like “Minor Research Projects offered by the UGC, ICSSR etc. They will participate in
the National and International Conferences seminars with good quality research paper availing the Travel
Grant from UGC or ICSSR. I believe the participants have reached in those standards they will prove it in
near future.

policies and strategy, management and governance are positive attempts to strengthen our knowledge
power in traditional and contemporary academic fields.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of IARA and specially, Dr. Pranam Dhar for
their ongoing commitment to uphold the academic standards to which these progragrammes aspire. During
the last few months, when the entire globe is traumatized due to Covid-19 pandemic, when economic and
educational fields are shattered, teachers and students are under deep agony, this association is trying to
engage them in academic exercises tirelessly, so that the task of knowledge transmission goes on with full
swing.
The way IARA, West Bengal have handled the “Seven Days’ Online Faculty Development Programme” is
commendable. Majority of presentations and paper submissions are of high standards and deserve great
applaud. Hope, as part of IARA’s future strategy it will continue to offer publication space along with

KANCHRAPARA COLLEGE.
The Indian higher education system is the second largest in the world in terms of enrolment, consisting of nearly 30
million students enrolled in 48,500 institutions. The quality of teachers and faculty members will decide the quality
of the students and thereby the next generation manpower. The aim of India’s higher education system is attaining
sustainable development and achieving higher growth rates which could be enabled through creation, transmission
and spread of knowledge.
Higher education at all levels in the country is witnessing a consistent growth pattern marked by the setting up of
new institutions and the improvement of the existing ones. Demand for qualified teachers and faculty members over
the next few years would be substantial and will become extremely critical for states to expand the current
institutional capacities, not only of infrastructure but also of qualified and trained faculty members.
Faculty development programs (FDPs) have proven to be successful for improving teaching skills in higher education.
The FDPs produce promising outcomes in the learning and teaching practices and recommended that teachers in
higher education should attend FDP training activities on regular basis and that the scope of planned FDPs should
include social skills necessary for collaboration, professional growth as well as management, and leadership abilities.
The University Grants Commission has been making proactive efforts to upgrade the knowledge and skills of faculty
members in the institutions of higher education. For the purpose of organizing, faculty development programs,
orientation programs and refresher courses for in service faculty members, the UGC has established and funds a
network of 66 Academic Staff Colleges across the country.
Title of this FDP is Advance Research Methodology.Now, there are some characteristics of qualitative research.
Qualitative research is a type of scientific research. It consists of some characters (1) Seeks answers to a question (2)
Systematically uses a predefined set of procedures to answer the question (3) Collects evidence (4) Produces findings
that were not determined in advance (5) Produces findings that are applicable beyond the immediate boundaries of
the study.Qualitative research is effective in obtaining culturally specific information about the values, opinions,
behaviors, and social contexts of particular populations.
Objectives of any FDP must be(i) Enhance the quality and skill of students/researchers/faculties/Govt. or corporate
officials. (ii) Enhance the quality of researchers and their researches. (iii)To support the different Govt. Policies and
Projects. (iv) To support the scheme of capacity development programme of Govt. of India .
On behalf of Kanchrapara College as a college associated with this programme, I heartily wish its success.

In India education has been given a sacred position and attainment of which is
considered as the pathway to abundance. Over the years the traditional way of
pedagogy has been followed with students attending school/college and interacting
with teachers face to face, there was a personal touch. But with the advent of covid-
19 the whole traditional scenario transformed digitally overnight. Schools, Colleges
and Universities were shut down on government orders without stating a definite
time of its revival and asking to continue with the education in a digital format. The
national lockdown has thus affected 500million students. Digitization of education
implies imparting education to student community via internet, this includes e-notes,
audio/video lectures, live onlineclasses, video conferencing using various online
interfaces. Smartphones, laptops, desktops and smart TVs are all vehicles of
digitalized education. A smart move or digital move to be precise came from The
University Grants Commission or UGC, national higher education regulator,
presented a list of initiatives of the MHRD, UGC and its Inter University Centres
(IUCs) - Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) and Consortium for
Educational Communication (CEC), using which the academic community can
continue with the education digitally in such time of crisis. The initiatives include
SWAYAM, MOOCs etc. If we see commercially, with the upsurge in digital use of
education current scenario states that India is one of the top growing online
education markets and predicted to climb high in billions by 2021. There is always a
two side of a coin hence the digitalization of education as well. This paper
theoretically discusses about the merits and demerits of digitalized education and its
future prospect in India.

The purpose of this study is to find out the factors within organization that affect
employee satisfaction and how much is the intensity. Specifically, I took pay &
promotion, Job safety and security, Training and development and employee
empowerment as the antecedents to see their impact on employee satisfaction and
further the impact of employee satisfaction on Job performance. This can help me to
better understand about the satisfaction level of employees and how employees can
be motivated to perform their job efficiently and effectively to increase the
productivity of the organization. The Sample was collected from different IT
organizations in Kolkata (New town and Saltlake sector v). The questionnaire was
distributed among 250 respondents in Kolkata. The study finds that Job safety &
security, Training & Development, Pay & Promotion, Employee empowerment, Job
Enrichment etc enhance the job satisfaction of employees.

Abstract
The term ‘Social inclusion’ is being frequently used in recent discussions in the field of
economic development. Opposed to the idea of ‘Social exclusion’ which literally means shut
out, indicating keeping major section of oppressed and deprived people out of the main stream
of development; there by refusing them to avail the fruits and proceeds of development. On
the other hand ‘Social inclusion’ refer to a pattern of growth which tries to include all sections
of the people in development process. This approach of development is also known as
“Inclusive or sustainable growth.” It is not a new approach so far as Indian economy is
concern. Though the inclusive growth approach has been followed in India since
independence, social exclusion remains a constant bone of contention for balanced total
growth of the country. The proceeds of development virtually went in the hand of a very few
rich people. On the other hand majority of the people, especially the weaker section of the
people including, women, tribal and religious minorities remained virtually deprived, even
from basic necessities of life like food, shelter, education, health etc.
It is be noted that while the S.C., S.T, O.B.Cs have been awarded some opportunities for their
upliftment : no such provisions for reservation have been allowed to the Minority Muslims,
there by excluding them from the main stream of development. So a study of the “process of
social inclusion of the Muslim becomes essential through out India. But the present study is
limited only to West Bengal.
Objective of the present study is to point out the social exclusions of the Muslims from the
developmental process and to trace the background, and the projects relating to social
inclusion of Muslims in India in general and in West Bengal in particular.
The Methodology adopted for the purpose of the present study in “Document analysis”. The
available books and important Government documents like “Gopal Sing Committee report,
P.M.s 15 point commission report and other various government reports have been studied in
detail. The Sachar Committee recommended some measures. The Ranganath Misra
Commission recommended reservation of Muslims in central and state Government services.
The Government of West Bengal accepted the recommendation and announced 15%
reservation for the Muslim in the O.B.C category of West Bengal Government services.

Abstract
A digital divide is any uneven distribution in the access to, use of, or impact of
Information and Communication Technologies between any numbers of distinct
groups. These groups may be defined based on social, geographical, or geopolitical
criteria, or otherwise.
The digital divide is the gap that exists between individuals who have access to
modern information and communication technology and those who lack access.
As nationwide lockdowns have constrained and minimized the physical mobility and
interactions of people, the virtual world has gained greater prominence in our
everyday life contributing positively towards digital divide. In the post covid 19 era
the time has already started demanding compulsory digital divide among all the
stakeholders in almost all sectors of the country specially in education sector.
In the present article the author has made an endeavour to unearth the underlying
factors contributing to this compulsory digital divide. The present study is based on
secondary data available in public domain. The time period of the study does ten
years comprise five years each before and after covid 19. The article ends with some
fruitful concluding observations which are the outcome of the instant study.

Abstract
Pandemic is an outbreak can last for a long period of time. Experts considers some
contagious disease may processed extend to the pandemic. This out breaks spreads
across the countries or continents. History has shown that almost every country in
the world has suffered the brunt of the catastrophe of the past. In terms of
experience, many countries have taken very serious steps to deal the pandemic.
Albeit, many developing countries have limited financial and technical resources to
cope with this. Death attributes of a pandemic has been much higher in these
countries in compare to developed countries. Pharmaceutical interventions such as
vaccine and antiviral agents are less likely to be available in here. The public health
and clinical infrastructure of these countries are often inadequate to deal with normal
circumstance.
This paper has tried to illustrate that how developing countries have been affecting
as a result of pandemic, causes of detriment & some recommendations to combat
pandemic situation.

Abstract
Teacher education is an essential component of the educational system. Teacher
education programs are one of the means of organized education. It trains would be
teacher and in-service teacher as well. A nation is built by its people and citizens are
molded by the teachers and the teachers are made by teacher instructor. The
intention of the present paper is to improve the teacher education quality in Tripura
by focusing on the up-and-coming issues and related concerns. Teacher education is
meeting a lot of challenges due to the varying needs of learner and society. Quality of
school education is depends on quality of teacher education.Therefore it is high time
that every stakeholder related to teacher education to share their views to develop
the quality of teacher education. We are conscious that Tripura has to address the
need of supplying well qualified and professionally trained teachers in large numbers
in the coming years and at the same time the huge backlog untrained teachers (about
21,000 above) in the system. Moreover, every year about 5500 students are
completing their graduation from different Govt. degree college of Tripura and among
them about 3000 aspirants are willing to pursue teacher education programme
(B.Ed.). But considering socio-economic structure at present in Tripura two
Government teacher training institute specifically IASE-Kunjaban and CTE-
Kumarghat are providing Pre-service teacher education programme (B.Ed.) where
intake capacity 250 only. The present educational situation of the 21st Century has
become prone to emphasizing more on quality rather than quantity. In facing up to
many challenges to teacher education in Tripura, this article will provide the scope for
new teacher education for the upcoming. In this article an endeavor to bring together
the main issues facing teacher education in Tripura relating to the capacity,
motivation and accountability of teachers to achieve improvements in learning
outcomes of learners, UEE, Right to Education and quality education.

Abstract
“The nature of yoga is to shine the light of awareness into the darkest corners of the
body and mind”.
In the wake of unprecedented gloom, nihilism and depravity that man has been
thrust into the abyss of, the only possible respite from the supposedly inextricable
clutches could be the path of yoga or yog, a sublime connection of the self with
supreme consciousness , an awakening of both the mind and body ; it doesn’t merely
entail rhythmic movement of bodies but also an equal collusion with the mind,
establishing a yog or connection with positive energies all around, rooting out all
negativities or evil forces that create commotion within ourselves, an essential
imbalance between the mind and body that is the crux of all bodily ailments, often
causing depression and suicidal tendencies in human minds, as seen in the sudden
spate in number of suicides or homicides in Covid scenario. An awakened self,
manifested through a healthy body, can feel adequately equipped to perform the
noble task destined by Creation. It is by giving up or, stripping ourselves off all
earthly encumbrances like desire, greed, anger, jealousy and ‘vaulting’ ambition can
we establish a divine conjugal with the Eternal, yog being instrumental in helping us
to cleanse ourselves to launch forth on the pathway of epiphany.

Abstract
The socio-economic progress of a country cannot be fully recognized if its women are
confined to subordinate position and if their potential remains unexposed. No nation
can evolve better if half of its inhabitants are severely underprivileged in terms of
basic necessities, livelihood options, access to knowledge and political existence.
Women are an integral part of the Indian economy, both at the national and
household levels. Compared to their male counterparts, Indian women contribute a
lion’s share of their earnings to basic family maintenance with the outcome that
women’s earnings positively and immediately affect the incidence and brutality of
poverty. Micro-credit is an effective instrument for poverty alleviation, human
development and social empowerment. With micro-credit, self-help groups come into
forefront. These are financial intermediary committees usually composed of 10 to 20
local women or men between 18 to 50 years which are community based groups
who are usually women from similar socio-economic backdrops, all voluntarily
coming together to save small amounts of money on a regular basis. These groups
are self-imposed which are formed on areas of common interest so that they can
think, organize and operate for their development.
The present paper makes an attempt to recognize the impact of micro-credit and
empowerment through SHGs in the light of a small scale survey from Howrah district
of West Bengal.
Keywords: Gender equality, poverty alleviation, micro-credit, SHGs, empowerment.

Abstract
Cancer is a major impact on society across the world. It is the second leading cause
of death in both developing and developed countries. The global cancer burden is
estimated to have risen to 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths, or one in 5
men and one in 6 women worldwide develop cancer during their lifetime in 2018.
Nowadays, the main treatments for cancer such as surgery, chemotherapy, and
radiation has not proved to be highly effective due to more side effects and costs.
Therefore, complementary and alternative therapies are required with better efficacy
and lesser side effects, naturally-derived anticancer agents, or availability.
Phytochemicals are modern and science-based herbal medicine at its very best.
Phytochemical applies scientific research and the highest professional standards to
the practice of herbal medicine. Phytochemical encourages and adapts to a recent
worldwide growth in scientific information on plant drugs and their effective and safe
use. One potential complementary method with conventional cancer drugs involves
the utilization of medicinal herbs and phytochemicals. The possible therapeutic
benefits include, but are not limited to apoptotic, antiproliferative, anti-angiogenic,
and anti-metastatic effects effects, of which have been demonstrated in in-vitro
experiments and some clinical trials; more clinical trials need to be done. Scientists
everywhere the planet are concentrating on the herbal medicines to spice up immune
cells of the body against cancer. An overview of how phytochemicals and medicinal
herbs can be designed for the ultimate removal of cancer cells without harming
normal cells of the body.

Abstract
This article represents a compartmental mathematical model portraying the
dynamical behaviors of novel coronavirus (2019-nCov) pandemic to convey
predictions about the control of the infection in India. Present-day emergency of 2019-
nCov situates the India also the whole world inavigorous threat. The model consists
two equilibrium points: a disease free and an endemic equilibrium. We computed the
basic reproduction number (R0). Basic reproduction number is used in the study of the
model simulations and predictions.Furthermore,the analysis points out that the
infection persists in the system forR0> 1.A sensitivity analysis has been performed
and the sensitivity analysis reveals that we need to pay proper concentration on the
most influential parameter, infection transmission rate, since it has the most effective
impact to mitigate the basic reproduction number R0 bellow 1 and thus the infection
will be diminished from the system.Numerical simulations strongly endorse with the
analytical findings.

Abstract
Nilssonianigricans(Anderson,1875), the black soft shell turtles, are found only in the
holy lake of the 15th centuryTripurasundari temple at Udaipur, 55 km from Agartala,
Tripura. The lake kalyansagar has been the natural habitat for this indigenous species
of turtles for over 500 years. The species declared extinct in the wild by the IUCN Red
list in 2002. Death of several numbers of turtles together were reported after
construction of the cemented embankments of the lake in 1998 that spoiled their natural
habitat. As a result, the turtles could not bask in the sun to shed fungus moult from their
body. This heat is crucial for the turtle to give birth also. Scarcity of places for laying eggs
has also occurred. Parts of the constructed embankments sssdemolished in September
2014. This created space for the turtles to nest, to lay eggs on the shore. The turtles
used to come up to the shore looking for crumbs left by visitors and tourists. Devotees
fed them with puffed rice and biscuits as part of their rituals.Moreover they pollute
the water everyday by throwing plastic packets and other things.This study has
taken to observe the present conservational status of this species in the lake,
including daily feeding, and other available status. To check the water quality water
samples have been collected and analysed different parameters of the water quality.
Key Words: Nilssonianigricans, extinct in the wild, kalyansagar, embankment of lake,
turtle death, quality of water, conservational status.

Abstract:
The COVID pandemic has forced the world to a standstill in many aspects. The
infective nature of SARS-COV2 and its potential fatality has forced policymakers
around the world to build emergency health infrastructure and come up with
draconian measures to tackle the pandemic. However, in spite of knowledge of the
epidemic, the reaction of the general public is often lackadaisical. The researcher
argues here about the irrationality in the behaviour of general public regarding the
control measures of the Pandemic that does not fit the model behaviour of Homo
economicus. Firstly, the features of wrong interpretation of risk is visible, with people
over estimating the risk of death from COVID, when the risk in fact is lesser than
many other diseases like Tuberculosis. The second important factor that is found is
that in spite of perceived risks people are often not following simple measure like
wearing masks, that is suggestive of postponing of responsible behaviour to a
behaviour that may cause immediate gratification, technically termed as hyperbolic
discounting in behavioural economics. Thirdly, a herd behaviour is seen in many
places that is reflective of social norms to be powerful drivers of human behaviour.
Like in containment zones many of the people are reluctant to report their symptoms
influenced by each other. Thus in many steps of the control measures, people are
systematically irrational, so a position of “libertarian paternalism” may help nudge
them to follow better practices.

Abstract:
We are well aware of the concept of Digital marketing which basically uses the
internet and web based services for the purpose of spreading product and service
related information to the prospects. With the growth and advancement of internet,
availability and affordability of net connectivity, the use and success of digital
marketing is increasing by leaps and bounds. Viral Marketing can be defined as a
by-product of Digital Marketing where the advertisements on the digital platforms are
seen, shared and re-shared by viewers in such a way that it gets viral over the web
platform. This can be defined as a low-cost or no-cost mode of promotion using the
digital platform. In a nutshell, therefore, the rise in number of netizens is the principle
cause behind the greater usage and success of Digital & Viral Marketing. The term
netizen is a relatively new term which refers to a blend of the terms ‘Internet’ &
‘Citizens’ referring to the regular or keen internet users. Studies have been conducted
to find out the reasons as to why people share such advertisements and make them
viral. Most studies confirm that it is predominantly the nature of the ad-content which
makes netizens share the advertisement and make it viral.
This paper seeks to explain the concept of viral marketing and discuss the
advantages, usage and success stories of viral marketing in recent times.

Abstract
Bearing all negative effects on our life, COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent
global shutdown possess some positive prospects. It has been reported that due to
the forced restrictions, air pollution levels in various cities all over the world has
drastically reduced during the lockdown phase. It is imperative to note that high air
pollution causes respiratory health problems including shortness of breath, chronic
respiratory disorders, pneumonia, asthma among both children and elderly.
There is a dramatic decrease in the rate of clinic visits due to asthma and non-
asthma respiratory illness during lockdown compared to pre-lockdown days.
Furthermore, it has also been reported that the highest number of COVID-19
(which directly affects the respiratory system) cases were found in the most
polluted areas with lower recovery rate. Moreover, it is reported that transmission
dynamics of COVID-19 is due to air pollution-to-human transmission rather than
human-to-human transmission and cities with more than 100 days (exceeding the
limits set for PM10) of air pollution have a very high average number of infected
individuals.
Therefore, lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic strongly reminds us to realize the
impact of air pollution on human health and address this threat as a priority. In
post-lockdown phase, governments and their regulatory bodies worldwide should
come up with focused and urgent measures to minimize air pollution and thereby
curbing the impact of this pandemic as well as any other that comes up in future.
Keywords – COVID-19, Lockdown, Air pollution, Asthma, Respiratory health

alled Al-jahiliya, when killing of daughter-child was a common incident as well a
sin Arab country, women were considered as property and didn’t have right of
citizenship. In that very time Hazrat Muhammad came out and he took various
steps to save the Women’s’ dignity. If we want to explain women-issues from
Quranic point of view, we have to consider the perspective at first. In Quran there
were some impartial ayats but there are also some ayats where Islamic feminism is
regarded as self-contradictory. In present world women’s position is in the bottom
of the society. Simonede Beauvoir explained in her book ‘The Second Sex’ women
situation in society with existential ethics, she said were human being as we
overcome nature. For conceptual differences feminists have be on formatted into
many heads. Feministic agitation was initiated on 8thMarch, 1857 by raising some
women-centric demands. That agitation was cruelly repressed by the police. To
remember that day, 8th March is celebrated as women’s day. Muhammad says,
“seeking knowledge is mandatory for every Muslim”. So both sex are equal in
searching for education. Khadija was a wealthy trade women who exported good
sasfarawayas Syria. Aishah, was very talented and possess edan incredible
memory. Inislam, marriage is a legal contract between aman and woman. Both the
groom and the bride are to consent to the marriage of the irown free wills. Women
in the Quran are important characters and subjects of discussion in the stories and
moral thoughts in Islam. The situation of the women at present has become worse
compared to that witnessed in various religious books like Bible, Vedaor Quran.
Since the meaning of the word ‘Feminism’ has been changed from time to time by
many factors, some have to change our mentality, Every woman have to achieve
their right by proper tactics, logic and ethics. Beauvoiral so admitted men’s
dominance and that’s why advised women to be man in life. Feminist Begam
Rokeaal so told that to express the progress of women we compare with the men’s
position in the society otherwise women’s progress can’t be measured.

Abstract
The present study was carried out in a macrophyte infested pond of Tripura to observe the
density and seasonal variations of zooplankton during a period from March 2017 to
February 2019. Physico-chemical parameters of the studied pond water were also noted
and their impact over the density of zooplankton was also observed. The present
observation revealed the presence of 15 species of rotifer and 8 species of crustacean
zooplankton. The identified rotifer species were Brachionus angularis, Brachionus
calyciflorus, Brachionus rubens, Brachionus falcatus, Brachionus forficula, Brachionus
quadridentata, Keratella tropica, Keratella cochlearis, Lecane luna, Lecane depressa,
Monostyla bulla, Monostyla lunaris, Trichocerca longiseta, Trichocerca cylindrica, Asplanchna
sp. and Euchlanis dilatata. Amongst different rotifer species, Brachionus sp. was the most
predominant. The identified crustacean zooplanktons were Ceriodaphnia reticulata,
Ceriodaphnia cornuta, Ceriodaphnia laticaudata, Alona rectangula, Kurzia longirostris,
Chydorus sphaericus, Mesocyclops leuckarti and Mesocyclops edax. Amongst different
cruatacean species, Ceriodaphnia sp. was the most predominant. The seasonal variations of
the rotifer density in the studied pond showed its highest density (600 ind/l) in the winter
and lowest density (279 ind/l) in the summer in both the study periods. On the contrary,
the seasonal variations of the crustacean zooplankton showed its highest density (148
ind/l) in the summer and lowest density (34 ind/l) in the winter in both the study periods.
The simple correlation coefficient showed water temperature(r = - 0.9573, P<0.01) has
negative and significant correlation with the zooplankton density. However, the stepwise
multiple regression analysis showed that water temperature (P<0.01), dissolved oxygen
(P<0.05), bicarbonate alkalinity (P<0.01), dissolved organic matter (P<0.01) and phosphate
phosphorus (P<0.05) have significant correlation with the density of zooplankton in the
studied macrophyte infested pond. The study infers that the density of zooplankton varies
with seasons and suitable macrophyte substrata and optimal conditions of the physico-
chemical parameters conjointly act for the zooplankton density of the studied pond.
Key words: Zooplankton density, Seasonal variations, Macrophyte infested pond, Physico-
chemical factors.

Abstract
The economic development of a country involves utilization of its resources for
increasing the productive capacity of the country. But in most of the developing
countries such utilization of resources is rather difficult due to the scarcity of
domestic capital and hence there is a need to attract the foreign capital.
Foreign direct investment is one of the oldest and recognised channels for
importing capital and technology from the developed countries into the developing
countries like India. Foreign direct investments especially through multinational
corporate has been a subject of animated discussion both in home and host
countries. Foreign is a nebulous concept. In wider sense it denotes wide spectrum
of international business arrangements, but in essence it entails flow of capital,
technology, skills and enterprises from one country to another. Such flows,
although a new phenomenon, have assumed significant in the wake of the needs
and desires of contemporary developing countries to push up their growth rates. In
India, like any other developing countries, the role of foreign direct investment is
debated tremendously and effortlessly.
Today, when all efforts are being made to develop the economy, the government
and the people expect the foreign firms to play a more positive role in the economic
development of India. But the entry of the foreign firms in Indian market has forced
various sectors to face the immediate challenges given by them. Therefore in this
context it is needed to analyse critically the impact of foreign direct investment on
various sectors in India. The issues like increase in prices, sustainable growth,
technology upgradation and employment generation needs to be addressed.
Keywords: sustainability, employment, technology upgradation, economic

Abstract
Epic is always the great source of World Literature. Ramayan and Mahabharata,
the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, are the treasure house of literary
elements .Based on Ramayan and Mahabharata, many works in different genre of
literature have been developed over time. The Indian Sanskrit drama has made a
significant contribution to the study of Classical Indian Literature. Kalidasa’s
Abhijnanashakuntala is one of them. Abhijnanashakuntala is also known as The
Recognition of Shakuntala or The Sign of Shakuntala. It is the best drama of
Kalidasa. The story of the play is adopted from the epic Ved Vyasa’s Mahabharata.
Kalidasa has dramatized the story of Shakuntala narrated in the epic
Mahabharata. Though the source of the drama is Mahabharata, Kalidasa has
presented the story of Shakuntala with minor changes in the plot. In the
epic Mahabharata and in the play Abhijnanashakuntala, the story of Shakuntala
is presented with thematic diversity. It is the story of divine love which has brought
a disaster as well as a sweet fruit of union. This is not something new. It has been
presented in Classical Indian Literature many times. But in Mahabharata and
Abhijnanashakuntala, it has been presented on greater moral value. Since identity
forms the basis of exploitation as well as struggle, this process is begun to be called
“identiitism”. The present paper is an attempt to form a comparative perspective on
the story of Shakuntala and a significant attempt to give a literary representation to
the study.
Keywords: Epic, Drama, Classical Indian Literature, divine love, union.

Abstract
The concept of microfinance originated in the nineteenth century and was
conceptualised by Lysander Spooner who wrote for the first time the benefits of
small credits to entrepreneurs and farmers as a way of alleviating poverty.
Microfinance is “the provision of a broad range of financial services such as
deposits, loans, money transfers, and insurance to small enterprise and
households”-Asian Development Bank. Nowadays, microfinance has become an
important mechanism to generate income and employment opportunities to a large
section of underprivileged populace and plays a key role in poverty alleviation in
emerging economies.
The growing political and economic significance of emerging economies such as
Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) provide a general context for
the future of microfinance.
In this context, the study dwells upon the following objectives:
 To study the evolution and growth of microfinance in emerging economies
namely Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
 To identify the opportunities and challenges associated with the growth of
microfinance in BRICS nations.
The study is descriptive in nature and is entirely based on secondary data collected
from various reports, articles, journals and websites of World Bank and ADB. The
study has been divided into the following sections:
Section I : Introduction.
Section II : Evolution and Growth of Micro Finance in BRIC countries.
Section III : Opportunities and Challenges of Microfinance in BRIC countries.
Section IV : Conclusion and Suggestions.

English is an integral part of every school curriculum in India. The subject English
has been made compulsory second language in the curriculum of Tripura Board of
Secondary Education. English is a foreign language. So, extra care and effort on the
part of teachers are essential for improvement of the present condition.
Language skill means expert knowledge of the language. In English there are four
basic language skills such as listening, speaking, reading and writing. Educational
performance is affected greatly by the language skill of the students especially in
case of English. It is often wrongly assumed that a good speaker is a good writer.
This need not necessarily be so for speech and writing is different modes of
communication. All normal human beings learn to speak their Mother-tongue, but
not everyone be masters in writing even in his mother tongue. And when it comes
to English or any other foreign language it is much more difficult for persons
holding mother tongue other than English. Eventually in performing various tasks
showing the execution of language based capabilities and also to evaluate all such
performances, nothing except English writing skill is judged.
Though content really matters a lot, still mastery over the writing performances is
crucial for every performer at any time. Therefore, a good knowledge on English
language as well as the writing activities may keep finer relation to identify writer’s
abilities. The present study tries to find out the writing skill of secondary school
students of West Tripura District through their test performances in English.
Key Words: English, secondary students, writing skill, test performance, West

Abstract
The effect of sodium chloride (NaCl) either alone or in combinations with sodium
silicate (Na2O3Si.9H2O) were studied on growth and metabolism in 21 days old
mungbean (Vignaradiata L. Wilczek) seedlings. With increasing NaCltoxicity, there
was a significant decrease in root and shoot elongation and biomass production in
the test seedlings with respect to water control. The levels of total protein and
ascorbate were also decreased in the test seedlings with respective increasing
toxicities. NaCl toxicity affected the activities of different antioxidant enzymes in the
test seedlings. Activity of polyphenol oxidase increased whereas catalase and
catechol peroxidase activities decreased. Again in the growing test seedlings,
oxidative stress was observed and levels of malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide
were enhanced whereas ascorbate content decreased. Joint application of sodium
silicate (2mM) with NaCl treated test seedlings showed significant alterations on all
parameters tested under the purview of NaCl treatment alone leading to better
growth and metabolism in mungbean seedlings. Thus silicate in low concentrations
helps to ameliorate salt contaminated damage on growth and metabolism in
mungbean seedlings.

Abstract
Nanoparticle mediated drug delivery is an emerging area of research now a days. In
our present study, we emphasized on the mode of interaction of a widely used drug,
Quercetin with frequently worked metallic nanoparticle, Gold (Au). At first five –OH
groups have been attached separately with gold atom and energy minimization was
performed using Avogadro Software for windows system. From this, we found that
the –OH groups present at 7 position of ‘A’ ring, 3’ and 4’ positions of ‘B’ ring are
most suitable site for gold atom to bind. In the next level of study, a gold atom has
been interacted with two quercetin molecules at a time. The gold atom was
attached to –OH group of 7 position of one quercetin molecule and 4’ position of the
other. The calculated energy was found to be 482.319 KJ/Mol. Further, gold atoms
were interacted with all –OH groups of quercetin molecule at a time to see its
stability and the structure was found to have quite stable with an energy level of
218.074 KJ/Mol. Lastly we tried to make a quercetin–gold nanoparticle model
structure which mimics the actual nanocomposite synthesized in vitro where one
gold atom was interacted with two quercetin molecules and the other –OH groups
of quercetin molecules were again attached with gold atoms. This structure
possesses energy of 439.880 KJ/Mol. The bond lengths and bond angle of
interacting C, O and Au atoms were measured to characterize the complex.

Abstract
The society, in which individuals live, is a platform in which individuals undertake
various kinds of research in Natural sciences and Social sciences; etc. The
outcomes of such researches have to address the social issues and for the benefit
of mankind and the larger society. All researches, besides complying with the
conventional/ traditional ethical research practices, have to focus on “How the
Researches will enhance the well-being of the individuals and the society in
general”. They should address what is ‘Good’ for the people and their well-being
explicitly. The researches, for that matter, should not only enhance knowledge in
the various domains but also should be a cause for the betterment of the society
and change. In today’s context ‘Doing Good’ is the greatest clarion call. In other
words, the ‘Questions’ of well-being should be the solid foundation and foreground
in any kind of research. The researchers should have a clear understanding of their
social responsibilities and the social consequences of their research. Any research
is worthwhile when they imbibe the general responsibility to the public and the
society. They should transpire Social transformation, Social change and Social
action.
At the outset, any kind of research undertaken by researchers should visualize the
positive impact of their researches in economic, social and environmental spheres.
In otherwords, they should have a focus on economic, social and environmental
well-being of all in the society. They should have consistent positive impact on
safety, health and welfare of the people. Moreover, any research should not only be
undertaken for furtherance of knowledge but also for the well-being of the society.
They should address, on the otherhand, the well-being and inclusive growth all
stakeholders. In today’s context, the responsibilities of researchers extend beyond
upholding the ethical standards of professionalism. On the otherhand, their
responsibilities extends towards societal goals and values. This conceptual paper
simply addresses and stresses that any kind of research should imbibe the element
of ‘Good’ and ‘Benevolence’ of society at large.

Abstract
Indian railways from the beginning year of 1853 is providing both passenger and
freight transportation. Before Independence its freight carriage was mainly directed
towards ports centre after being sourced from interior areas but afterwards
railways commodity circulation changed proportionately more towards internal part
of Indian economy. From 1951-2002, railways functioned with nine zonal railways
which had been merged earlier from various state railways prior to 1947 and later
on, improvement in operational efficiency requirement led to next round of zonal
reorganisation after 2002 forming seven new zones. But its freight carriage
continued over different regions covered by above zonal railways. Supply of freight,
demand for freight and mobility of railways operation measured by zonal
originating freight, terminating freight and net tonnage kilometer are expected to
change over time from 1966 to the recent years. This is true both for entire Indian
railways and all its zones in haulage of aggregate freight traffic as well as separately
for eight bulk commodities coal, raw material to steel plants, pig iron and finished
steel booked from steel plants, iron ore for export, cement, foodgrain, fertiliser and
mineral oil, accounting for majority of bulk commodities and rest commodities.
Since railways carry freights at mass scale compared to other transportation
modes, it can give us some direction in which macro-economic development is
going in different regions served by various zonal railways. From these
perspectives, this paper makes an effort to study whether performance of Indian
Railways role in freight transportation is expanding over time to cater for the needs
of new spaces of Indian economy both at aggregate and disaggregate level.

also known as NREGA was come into force on 1st April 2006 in 200 district in
India. Dhalai district of Tripura was the one of first 200 whereas MGNREGA was
implemented. The remaining district of Tripura was notified under MGNREGA with
effect from 1st April 2008. The objectives of Act are
1. To enhance livelihood security in rural areas by providing at least 100 days of
guaranteed wage employment in a financial year.
2. MGNREGA is to create durable assets (such as roads, canals, ponds and well).
3. To reduce or stop rural-urban migration.
4. MGNREGA is to empowerment of the rural womens` by giving them some
economic independence.
5. The Act aims to follow the Directive Principles of State Policy enunciated in Part
IV of the Constitution of India as right to work under Article 41.
In respect of Academic research, it has focused on many dimensions of the
MGNREGA: economic security, self-targeting, women's empowerment, asset
creation, corruption, how the scheme impacts agricultural wages. An early overall
assessment in the north India states suggested that MGNREGA was "making a
difference to the lives of the rural poor, slowly but surely. Since as a largest
employment scheme of the world, it has lots of difficulties or challenges while
implementing the Act to deal with above cited point of view from all side i.e.

The Indian life insurance industry is one of the fastest growing insurance
industries in the world and with the entry of private life insurers after year 2000,
witnessed compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 15 percent in FY 2020
(IBEF Report,2020). As of now, there are 24 private life insurers giving tough
competition to each other and striving hard to gain more proportion of market
share. The present study has empirically examined the factors which influence the
choice of Indian customers towards investment in different life insurance
companies. The research is descriptive in nature and depends on both primary and
secondary data. A well-structured questionnaire was designed based on five point
Likert scale and total sample size was 250 selected through convenience sampling
method from three different cities i.e. Jabalpur, Bhopal and Sagar region of
Madhya Pradesh. The study conducted on those respondents who owned at least
one or two life insurance policy of different life insurance Company. Company
market reputation and trust, product price and features, policy terms and
conditions, claim settlement ratio and sale services were some of the factors found
to be significantly influence Indian customers while selecting any life insurance
company. The paper concludes that majority of people are aware with the
importance of taking life insurance policy but they have shown preference towards
that company which is more trustworthy, offers unique product features at
reasonable premium price and gives better sales services.

Abstract
The present paper proposes to concentrate on Sister Nivedita’s contribution to the
evaluation of the status of women in Bengal through proper education and
empowerment. It was nothing but a miracle that how could Memsahib Margaret
Elizabeth Noble, the brilliant and successful educator of late Nineteenth century
Britain be transformed into Sister Nivedita, the prime source of enlightenment of
the status of subjugated women as well as the girl children of West Bengal in
particular. At the then time the status of women was very much cocooned and
concerned. The status of women was envisaged by the law of Manu. According to
this law the duty of the women was mainly confined to worship her husband as
“God” i.e. in Bengali “patibrata” and she enjoyed no liberty to go beyond the four
walls o their husband’s house. In a nutshell, the role of women as a daughter, wife
and mother was thoroughly dependent on the dominating male of the then period.
After the invitation of Swami Vivekananda to come to Kolkata for the cause of
women who had to continue to live in an inferior status without proper education,
Sister Nivedita positively respond her Guru and performed continuously for the
betterment of this subjugated women. As the result of her deep Endeavour, the
concept o women hood has changed in recent time. Now women play the diverse
role in the family as well as in the society and country also. Now a women
particularly when she is educated, seeks emancipation from the dehumanizing
structure of patriarchal society. The person who contributed much to kick off the
process of empowering women through educating them is none but Sister Nivedita.
The present study mainly upholds how Sister Nivedita toiled much to empower
women in Bengal through educating them to become self sufficient.

combination. Only those articles were included which reported the onset and
progression of heart muscle damage along with active positive diagnosis of COVID-
19 in patients.
Result: SARS-CoV-2 mediated disease condition shows primarily three types of
cardiac pathophysiology such as mild, reversible left ventricular damage with chest
pain, rise in enzymatic and inflammatory markers like cardiac Troponin I (cTn I),
and B-type Natriuretic Protein and preserved ejection fraction; acute myocarditis
with ventricular hypokinesia and impaired ejection fraction; fulminant myocarditis
with cardiomyopathy and heart failure. The mode of damage seems multifarious
with acute systemic inflammation being the most common followed by hypoxia,
myocardial infarction and direct viral damage.
Conclusion: Cardiac damage ranged from mild to end-stage heart failure with some
form of left ventricular dysfunction prevalent.

Abstract
The Covid-19 outbreak is affecting every possible sector in a manner that is both
unpredictable and demanding. Education sector being a part of a spontaneous
process is also under its heavy influence. The very future of our country is sitting
at home waiting for schools and colleges to open. In these tough times, teachers
had to come up with new methods and redesign the whole teaching process. In
order to improvise and adapt with the existing communication gap that was visible
between teachers and students due to the nationwide lockdown, online teaching
methodology seemed promising and fruitful. However, every coin has two sides and
so has online teaching. Uttarakhand being a state full of rural areas and remote
locations witnessed numerous challenges for both teachers and students. To get a
wide perspective of teacher’s side, the researcher conducted an online research
with over 100 participants (govt. teachers) from education sector. With the help of
snowball sampling method, the researcher drew conclusions based on the response
of those 100 participants. Basic questionnaires were circulated among every single
participant in order to understand the nature of online teaching from ground level.
It was found out that a large percentage of participants found online teaching
convenient and effective. Contrary to that, a significant amount of participants
believed that offline teaching was still the best way to teach their students.
However, almost every participant agreed upon the dynamic change that this
lockdown had brought upon their teaching method. Based on these responses,
counter arguments were drawn by the researcher to cope up with the challenges
that were prominent during the period of online teaching in lockdown.

Abstract
The use of mobile (cellular) phones has increased worldwide during the last decade
especially in children and adolescents. Several studies have investigated the impact
of mobile phone exposure on cognitive performances on human being. Children are
of special interest due to their developing nervous systems. The aim of the present
study is to examine the effect of playing game in mobile phone on cognitive
performance in primary School going Bengali boys of Tripura. Ninety Four (94)
apparently healthy school going Bengali Boys (Class I to V) sedentary students
having mean age of 9.4 ± 1.85 years, body height of 130.5 ± 9.29 cm and body
weight of 25.6 ± 6.56 kg were selected from the participated volunteers in the
present study on the basis of random sampling from the different schools of
Udaipur subdivision of Tripura. A self-made questionnaire was used to collect their
health status, physical activity status, socio-economic status and playing games in
mobile phone use history. A mobile based App (Dungan, 2014) for the stroop III
was used for the cognitive performance which is actually modified ‘Stroop color
word’ test based on the original Stroop test (Stroop, 1935). For reaction time
another mobile based app (Benesoft, 2016) was used. The mean height, weight
and BMI (Body mass index) of the present subjects are shown comparable with the
25th percentile value of Height, weight and BMI of the Indian children of the
comparable age shown in the ‘standard Indian Academy of the Pediatrics’ (IAP)
‘growth chart’ (2015). Whenever subjects cognitive performances are compared
according to their playing games in mobile phone (mobile users 49 and 45 non
users), it has been interestingly noted in the present study that there are no
significant difference found between two groups. So, in the present study there is
no significant difference in cognitive performance of the children of mobile phone
users and non-users in terms of playing game. Therefore, it can be concluded
playing game in mobile have no role in the cognitive performance in the present
study. Although, subject size of the present study is less, for further conclusion at
least we need large no of sample.
Key words: Cognitive performance, stoop test reaction time, mobile phone, playing

responsible way. – World Bank
Banking institutions and government policy makers of developing nations consider
financial inclusion as an emerging paradigm of economic development.
Atamnirbhar Bharat has collateral-free automatic loans for ₹3,00,000 and street
vendor schemes providing liquidity leverage ₹500 crores.Reserve Bank of India
(RBI), has released National Strategy for Financial Inclusion 2019-2024, to follow a
target-based approach, a bank-led model to achieve the highest level of financial
inclusion in India. Specific financial inclusion scheme of Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan
Yojana (PMJDY), has banked 39.95 Crore beneficiaries. CRISIL index, the
score’sIndia 58 out of 100, with 14 districts scoring 100. Also, inclusive growth
targets cannot be achieved without financial inclusion, which is related with the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), like poverty eradication, food security,
reducing inequality, and others. Thus, it is important to know the relation between
financial inclusion and determining economic variables.
The panel data study examines, the significance of variables determining the
financial inclusion, based on secondary data from RBI, using SPSS software. Data
variables are population, gender ratio, branch penetration, Deposit-Credit ratio,
and literacy rate. The study highlights the impact of each variable on financial

Abstract
Accounting is the process of recording, classifying, summarising, analysing and
interpreting financial transactions and communicating the results thereof to the
users interested in such communication. It is a service activity to provide
qualitative financial information and it is useful in making economic decision.
Advancements in Computer technology have dramatically improved accounting
systems and transform economic life. Computer technology deals with the
application of computers and the other telecommunications equipment to store,
retrieve transit and manipulate data. Applying Computer technology in the context
of business it is designed to help management in their stewardship function,
support management in their day to day operations and decision making. The
advancement of Technology has lead in the creation of the computerised
accounting systems which is commonly adopted by Business entities at present.
Thus, entities need to improve their systems in order to match their information
needs for better decision making. With the advent of computer based accounting
systems accountants have to cope with the resulting complexity of the flow of
information through the accounting systems. Traditional accounting procedures
did not accommodate sophisticated Processing devices that came with the
computer based accounting system. With the introduction of computer to many
business applications, those business areas that involves repeated task which are
often monotonous to human errors ( cash, inventory control, payroll, etc) are
increasingly being simplified accurately by combining the cost effectiveness,
simplicity of use, efficiency, reliability and accuracy of the computer to obtain,
analyse and interpret data information for efficient business decisions. This paper
highlights the impact of Information Technology on Accounting Systems.

The aim of the present study was to see the effect of life skill training on Impulse
Control among adolescents with socioeconomic deprivation. Such an effect of the
life skill training is related with gender variation. The research was performed by
pre-test and post-test on 20 adolescents (12 females and 8 males).Research
instrument include Sriwastava and Nydoo’s Impulse Control scale. In the present
study we follow the manual of Life Skill Training promoted by Inspiration (Save The
Children), who prepare their manual following the manual of WHO and UNICEF.
For the demand of the present study some changes have been done in the training
procedure. The training was given for 3 months, 2days in a week. The Impulse
Control scale was administered twice- first before the training and second after the
training. The result shows that there is a significant effect of life skill training on
Impulse control among the adolescents with socioeconomic deprivation. Results
also reflect that there is a prominent effect of life skill training across the gender.

Abstract
India is one of the most progressive country in the world. From the time
immemorial the creative people of India keep on creating a new sphere of historical
productivity struggling against hostile environment thereby keeping the wheel of
heritage ins constant motion. With a view to quenching the thirst for illimitable
curiosity and quest for exploring the hitherto unknown, men put themselves in the
undertaking of delving deep in to the recesses of evens studded primitive history
and journey towards the transformation of known history to the history anew
produced as per the demands of vigorous necessity. The contribution of Science
and Technology to the field of history to shape it in a new mould cannot be denied.
The study of Science of ancient and medieval period has extended the periphery of
history. The historical treasure of the past leads the present towards a new and
more enriched discovery of history in the near future. In this article, I have
undertaken Descriptive method and comparative study simultaneously.
Qualitative method is also followed as my area of discussion here on different
discoveries, aspects, events of middle Age. The arrival of scientists like Aryabhatta,
Barahamihir, Sushrut, Charak, Nagarjun accelerated the flow of science culture of
ancient India.After the arrival of Islam at Middle Age, India has come in contact
with Arabic science.And it influenced enormously Astrology, Astronomy,
Mathematics, Medical science thereby pave the way of technological usage in every
aspects of life. The study concludes that from Ancient times to Medieval, historical
culture of Science & Technology helped India to reach the pick position in the
whole world. We can set a clear image that the technological way seeded by the
ancient scholars had a continuous and leading impact towards the Medieval era.

Abstract
This study is basically an empirical analysis based on secondary data published in
various reports and databases. It is undeniable that Indian economy after post-
reform period has enjoyed tremendous growth in service sector. However, for the
growth of a developing country the status of education, health, productivity and
degree of globalisation are considered as crucial factors in the era of globalisation.
Further, innovation and invention also act as positive factors for economic
development and wellbeing of the people of any developed or developing country. A
number of literatures are there for measuring the impact of several factors on
growth and wellbeing. In this study we have made a modest attempt to measure the
impact of such variables on the economic growth of India since economic reforms
(from 1995 to 2018). For this purpose we have considered life expectancy at birth
as a proxy of health, mean years of schooling as a proxy of levels of education, total
factor productivity (TFP) and globalisation index (KOF) as independent variables
and growth in GDP (measured in constant US$) as dependent variable. Further, we
have done a multiple regression analysis for finding out the impact of such
independent variables on the rate of growth in GDP.

knock can also be felt on the education sector as well .Education was also on a
deep verge towards back foot as the interactivity between the teachers and students
was put on hold , due to lock down. The stay at home process acted as a boon to
not only recharges the environment but also to the self development of the
individual by getting nourished to the new learning dimensions. Sooner, online

Abstract
The Betta Kuruba of Mysuru District located in rural Karnataka have traditionally
been associated with a forest dwelling way of life, capable of working on bamboo
and thriving on other minor forest products like honey and small game. Betta
Kuruba lack the basic attainment of education status and skills of settled
agriculture which are the prerequisites for economic empowerment in the region.
Forced out migration, lack of natural resources in the existing habitat, near
alienation from the ambit of development policies, have resulted in an abysmally
low education status among them. The present paper therefore tries to locate the
issue of tribal education among the Betta Kuruba, within the larger contemporary
discourse between notions of self identity on one side, and the various forces of
modernity on the other. By doing so, the paper tries to take into account the coping
mechanisms that the Betta Kuruba are striving to develop to bring about a
plausible negotiation between the fast modernizing education process and a deep
rooted self identity which has its own implications for their overall socio-economic
status. For this purpose the researcher tries to bring to the fore the intricate mesh
of inter linkages that underlie their education status and the various factors that
ultimately determine their developmental status. These mechanisms apparently act
as a fulcrum between the sustenance of their age old social institutions, and a
compulsive and impending change brought about in their life as an outcome of an
abrupt shift in their education attainment.

Abstract
Availability of land and water resources has been declining day by day in over
populated countries such as India. In our agro-based country, production of food
grain without endangering ecological resources is a big challenge. So, integrated
paddy cum fish farming has a necessary prospect for both food security and
income generation of farmers. Present study focuses on various positivities and
constraints associated with paddy-cum-fish cultivation by the farmers in Sitai
Block in Coochbehar district in West Bengal. Purposive and simple random
sampling techniques were adopted for this present study. Farmers were personally
interviewed with structured questionnaire. A purposive selection was made on the
trained beneficiary farmers under Integrated Waters watershed Management
Project implemented by Assistant Director of Agriculture in that block. A random
selection was based on other non-beneficiary local farmers who have also adopted
the integrated farming system too without any institutional support but just by
observational practice on the previous group. Different statistical tools were used to
evaluate the income generation and socio-economic status upliftment of the
practicing farmers group. It was revealed that beside financial upliftment, group
practice approach came out in the particular area which can be restructured as
large venture like cooperative formation in near future. Extensional guidance,
insurance facilities can involve more farmers in such eco-friendly farm income
generating activity.

Now all over the world facing a biggest problem as-well-as international crisis on
Covid-19 pandemic situation and presently millions of people around the world are
also facing financial insecurity with job losses. The problems are also faced by the
total travel- tourism and hospitality related business and industry as well. The some
of the related business are like transportation- airlines, car rental, water transport,
coach services and railway. Accommodation- hotels, shared accommodation, hostels,
camping, bed and breakfast, cruses, farm houses, time share accommodation. Food
and beverages- restaurants, caterings, bar& cafes, night clubs. Entertainments-
casino, shopping. Other services- financial services, travel agents, tour operators,
online travel agencies, educational etc.The concepts of travel and tourism are very
closely linked,both the travel industry and the tourism industry with hospitality have
significant overlap.Tourism is generally regarded as the act of travelling to a
different location, for either business or pleasure purposes.The industry was
flourishing day by day, but was put to nearly an end due to the lockdown phases
because of pandemic. Government of various countries was doing enough along the
years to boost the tourism and hospitality business around the world,but now the
setback is felt well. GST is a non-discriminatory tax, and its effect is felt across
verticals.Cost reduction and abolishment of cascading taxes was the prior objective
of it,and stands true for the tourism and hospitality industry as well.In this paper
we tried to highlight the revenue generation and its impact on GST during pre and
post pandemic period across the world and how the industries laid themselves in a
logged position due to the break of the pandemic disease.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of metal nano-particles by various microorganism is an emerging
area of research in nanotechnology. The development of eco-friendly technologies in
material synthesis is of considerable importance to expand their biological
applications. Nowadays, a variety of inorganic nanoparticles with well-defined
chemical composition, size, and morphology have been synthesized by using
different microorganisms, and their applications in many cutting-edge technological
areas have been explored. Synthesis of nano-particles by bacterial strains isolated
from soil samples have been reported earlier. In the present study, soil isolates
were used for extracellular biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNP).
Consequently, AuNP were formed due to reduction of gold ion by bacterial cell
supernatant. The UV–Visible spectrophotometry and DLS (Dynamic Light
Scattering) data of the bacterial as well as chemically synthesized AuNPs were
recorded. The process of extracellular synthesis may lead to the development of an
easy bioprocess of Au NP production.

The social, economic, & cultural progress has changed the stand of a woman in the
value system. But in spite of all these changes today women are still struggling to
make their own identity & the most challenging thing they face is to balance their
work & personal life. With advancement in technology & constant connect with
office in the lieu of increasing competition among employees has blurred the
distinction between family, work & social life. The requirement of a harmony
among all the factors has become acute. Work life balance is increasingly gaining
importance due to the necessity to attain equilibrium between work, family & self.
Work Life balance means the capacity to schedule the hours of professional and
personal life so as to lead a healthy and peaceful life keeping the values & beliefs
intact. The major objective of this study was to understand the various factors
influencing the work life balance the study also intended to ascertain the degree to
which these factors contribute to work life balance. Though there are many
industries which could have been taken for the purpose of research but in
thisstudy, we focused on banking industry since they comprise a sizeable
proportion of women employees. Data was collected from a sample size of 150
which was taken from both public & private sector banks across the city Kolkata
using a structured questionnaire of Pareekh & Purohit (2010). In order to ascertain
the different factors which, influence the work life balance the research will be
carried out in two phases: The first phase was based on secondary data which was
taken from various journals, magazines, past research work; the second phase was
based on pilot study. The analysis was carried out using factor analysis, Mann-

Abstract
The objectives of this study is to analyze earning per share and dividend per share of 3 FMCG
companies- Hindustan Unilever, ITC and Dabur over a period of 5 years and to examine which
company has better EPS and Dividend Per Share and finally to find out the correlation between
EPS and Dividend per Share intra company and inter companies. The study is done on the
basis of the secondary data collected from the audited Statement of Profit & Loss and Balance
Sheet along with associated schedules and annexure available in the published Annual Report
of ITC, Hindustan Unilever and Dabur as published in economic times and the EPS and
Dividend per share as published in goodreturns.in. The available data is analyzed and
compared Intra Company and Inter Company wise. For examining the relationship between
EPS and Dividend per share of each company statistical tool Rank Correlation is used. For
calculating the comparatives between the three FMCG companies Scoring Method is also used.
The findings on the basis of statistical tool are that for ITC the correlation between EPS and
DPS is a perfect positive correlation, whereas for HUL and Dabur the correlation is nearly
positive perfect correlation of +0.9. As per the analysis the paper concludes that the position of
HUL is the best on the basis of EPS and DPS. The market share of HUL is also more compared
to ITC and Dabur. If we compared ITC and Dabur, ITC is in a better position but Dabur have a
steady increase unlike ITC which had a downfall in between. Also it is evident from the study
that Dabur have given a huge dividend in one year in between for attraction of shareholders.
Keywords: Rank Correlation, Scoring method, Earnings per Share (EPS), Dividend per Share
