Impact of Human Capital Development on Economic Growth in Nigeriainventionjournals
The study examines the impact of human capital development on economic growth in Nigeria. The study sought to find out how human capital development (education and health) contributes to economic growth (GDP, unemployment and employment rate) in Nigeria. Investment in Education and health are always not considered in Nigeria which limits the economic growth in Nigeria thereby not contributing to gross domestic product in Nigeria. Poor consideration of human capital development result to high level unemployment, low GDP and low employment rate in Nigeria. The main objective is to examine the impact of human capital development on economic growth in Nigeria. Time series data were collected from secondary source from 1999-2015. The Ordinary Least Square was adopted and finding reveals that human capital development and economic growth in Nigeria is insignificant. The study also found that human capital development contributes to unemployment rate in Nigeria but does not contributes to GDP and employment rate in Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that Nigeria government should re-strategies its human capital development policies and develop a programme to solve human development needs in terms of education and health since there is insignificant relationship between human capital development and economic growth.

Housing finance in india challenges and issuesTapasya123
House is a centre and domestic device for mankind's moral and core
development ever since the dawn of evolution and civilisation. Housing is
one of the basic requirements that human beings need. Good housing is a
pre-requisite for human development and welfare. It provides shelter,
security, amenities and privacy to the human beings for decent living.
There are many things that people would find difficult, if not impossible to
do without good-quality housing. Housing shortage is a universal
phenomenon. Without good housing, people cannot realise their full
potential and carry on the life they want to lead. Good housing reflects the
general welfare of community, whereas bad housing leads to serious
consequences such as diseases, immorality, and juvenile delinquency.
Housing is also an investment activity and provides impulsion to economic
growth. It has both forward and backward linkages. Because of its forward
and backward linkages, even a small initiative in housing will drive
multiplier effect in the economy through the generation of employment and
demand. Housing finance is not a new concept in finance sector of India. It
has developed rapidly during last few decades due to the enthusiastic
interest of Government to cut-short the housing problem of the country.
Although, present environment of finance sector seems to be suitable for
uninterrupted growth of housing finance market, but there are few general
problems, which create challenges and issues directly and indirectly. This
paper is an attempt to reveal such problems and challenges in India.

A Unique Training Methodology of RUDSETIs in Promoting Self Employment among ...iosrjce
Training programs with emphasis on practical learning, targeted at the unemployed youth, who
make a proactive beginning to learn the chosen-skill, play a crucial role in their skills and economic
development. Such skill (technical) trainings, offered as a capsule, along with and adequate focus on
motivational, managerial and financial literacy inputs bring the desired change in the unemployed youth which
reflects in their taking up self-employment ventures for their own economic prosperity and their respective areas
as well. The very fact was proved beyond doubt by the establishment and spread of Rural Development and Self
Employment Training Institutes (RUDSETIs) in 1982 and thereafter in select locations across the country. The
success of the model culminated in replication of it with the name Rural Self Employment Training Institutes
(RSETIs) across India at the behest of Government of India with the support of respective State Governments.
This vividly tells that the qualitative short-term crash training courses (Entrepreneurship Development
Programs-EDPs) of these RUDSETIs, ranging from one week to six weeks’ duration, offered under a congenial
learning ambience leads to rich value-addition among the unemployed youth which results in their going back
to their respective areas after the training with high self-confidence and starting small business enterprises
either on their own or with some bank finance. While the paper examines, in general, the role being played by
the RUDSETIs with their unique training methodology in promoting self-employment among the unemployed
youth, it does so, in particular, to understand in detail the activities of one of its units located at Vetapalem (now
shifted to Ongole) in Prakasam District of Andhra Pradesh, India.

Meghdoot Housing Agency
There is no doubt that India is struggling with housing problems due to the increased urbanization as well the general growth in population. In this regard, it is appropriate to find housing agencies that will work tirelessly to address the housing problem in India. There are many housing agencies that can be used to address the runaway housing problem in India. However, the most suitable of all is the Meghdoot housing agency (Ahluwalia, Kanbur, Mohanty, 2014). This agency has been chosen due to the fact that it is capable of assisting the government in developing low-cost houses for the middle and low-class workers in the city of Mumbai. This paper identifies and discusses the core values of the agency, the vision, and mission of the agency, and its key stakeholder with respect to its commitment to addressing the housing problem.
Question I
Meghdoot housing agency is a well-established housing agency situated in Mumbai whose core values are delivering quality affordable houses, commitment, consistency, and reliability. However, it is important to understand the extent or the degree to which these core values are aligned with social change in the city of Mumbai. Therefore in this regard, the agency’s core values are fundamentally established to help people improve their lives by building low cost or affordable houses that can either be bought or rented by the low-income community. This involves special programs that the agency has in place to meet the needs of the under-served population (Ahluwalia et al., 2014). The core values of the agency support the needs of the people in different ways. For instance, the agency’ core values support its vision as well as reflecting what the agency values the most; providing low-cost houses. Equally, the help the agency in making important decisions regarding the quality of the houses constructed.
Question II
Like many other agencies across the world, Meghdoot housing agency has a compelling mission that has enabled it to reach an expansive population. The mission of the agency is to offer its customers best deals in residential and commercial properties. This proves to be an important input in guiding the decisions of the agency regarding the construction of residential properties that would be acquired at affordable costs. There is no doubt that the mission of the agency is aligned with its core values. For instance, the agency’s mission enables it to develop strategies that consistently meet the needs of the people (Sengupta & Shaw, 2017). Elsewhere, the mission statement promotes social change in the sense that it guides the decisions of the agency regarding the construction of low-cost houses so as to eradic.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
