Title	:	Susan vs Friday: Coetzee's Foe
Country	:	India.
Authors	:	Dr. V. Vijayalayan
	:	10.9790/0837-2211100105

Abstract: How differently would the narrative have played out, if a woman was the protagonist of Robinson Crusoe? Whether it was this tantalizing speculation that inspired Coetzee in fashioning Foe is anybody‟s guess. Nonetheless, the introduction of a third character into the island, a female castaway in Susan Barton, is by far the most self-conscious inflection inflicted on Defoe‟s classic. Understandably, critical readings of the text have invariably seized upon Susan‟s portrayal as the focal point of attention. Most such readings, specifically those pursued from a feminist perspective, have tended to commend Susan as an iconic figure. Truth be said, there can be little doubt about the praises heaped on Susan‟s delineation in the narrative. For all practical purposes, it is she who initiates and orchestrates all the main events in the plot. She is for instance, the narrator of the story, the one responsible for the rescue, and most of all, the.........

Title	:	Socio-cultural System of Communication: Imitation, Development and Limitations
Country	:	India.
Authors	:	Dr.R.Vasanathan
	:	10.9790/0837-2211100609

Abstract: A language learner understands the prevalent socio-cultural system of communication. A language continues to be a system in a circle with sounds and emotions. Knowing words also needs the understanding of the sentiments and the emotional appeal that they evoke according to the context. Sometimes words is used in one circle in the same language may not have the same effect in another circle. There is a great difference between one and the other with regard to the use of the language if the socio-cultural components are varied. This paper analyses the system and elucidates its connection with the sentiments and differences, without getting into which effective..........

Abstract: Communities have dependencies on natural resources since ages in the form of various ecosystem services like food, fodder, fuelwood, fresh air, water, medicinal plants and herbs etc. It has been seen that most of the forest areas were conserved by traditional societies with their socio cultural and religious practices. Various practices prevail even today in many parts of the country such as "Tarun Bharat‟ in Alwar district, Bhotia community of Uttrakhand state etc. In the United Nation Conference on "Environment and Development‟ it had been stressed out the contribution of indigenious knowledge............

Country	:	India
Authors	:	K. Harika || R. Ramakrishna

Abstract: The SHG- Bank Linkage Programmewas a proposed by the National Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) to solve failures of Indian government to reach the financial expanding to poor. In February 1992, the launching of pilot phase of the SHG- Bank Linkage Programme (SHG-BLP) could be considered as a landmark development in banking with the poor. In order to further promote this programme RBI issued instructions to banks in 1996 to cover SHG financing as a mainstream activity under their priority sector-lending portfolio. The SHG-BLM has emerged as a dominant model in terms of number of borrowers and loans outstanding. Due to widespread rural bank branch network, the SHG-BLM is very suitable to the Indian context. In this context, the present paper attempts to............

Abstract: As rightly Said That Bureaucracy is an essential and necessary Evil. And the first step to getting the things you want out of life is that: decide what you want. Moreover, if you look for positive things in your life, you will find them definitely. It is the one small deed that accomplishes more than the thousand words. Thus we are in need of two or more subsystems working together to produce more than total of what they might produce working alone. What the subsystem is....

Title	:	Social-Environmental Effects of River Sand Mining: Case Study of Ephemeral River Kivou in Kitui County, Kenya
Country	:	Kenya.
Authors	:	Muiruri Philip Gathogo || Meshack O. Amimo
	:	10.9790/0837-2211103137

Abstract: Sand mining has been undertaken across the world over centuries, with increasing frequency and intensity noted with time. Currently, indiscriminate sand mining is taking place in River Kivou which forms the center of focus of this study. The activity is profoundly driven by high demand for construction sand, high levels of unemployment as well as adverse climatic conditions in the area. Random sampling on the seven active mining sites helped to arrive at three sites. Systematic sampling technique got applied to the selected sites at intervals of 10 meters, with data on width and depth taken. Stratified sampling helped to arrive at a suitablesample size comprising of sand miners, landownersand households. The study involved collection of data on the river channel depth and width at the active sites of mining and on the control sites. Data on some environmental and social variables such as availability of..........

Title	:	Effect of Demonetization on Keynesian's demand for money and Real (Product) Market Changes in Chennai City
Country	:	India.
Authors	:	Navin kumar Jha || Selvaraj. M
	:	10.9790/0837-2211106573

Abstract: The analysis of the Money Demand Functions (MDF) is one of the best approaches to examine the market structure. Recent studies analyze the properties of several MDF in different countries. Lütkepohl and Wolters (1998) or Beyer (1998) investigated whether the MDF would remain stable despite the German unification. Dekle and Pradhan (1999) studied the case of some Asian emergent countries, while Torsen (2002) focused his research on developing countries as, for example, Mongolia. Therefore, the analysis of the MDF is an important subject of investigation for both, academic researchers and policy makers. At the initial stage of the demonetization, though the government of India (present ruling party) came up with various concrete resolutions such as to tackle black money, to lower the cash.........

Title	:	Gender Disparities in Rural works in Mid Hill Agrarian Economy of Himachal Pradesh - An Empirical Investigation
Country	:	India.
Authors	:	Sanjeet Singh
	:	10.9790/0837-2211107486

Abstract: The participation of women in productive or economic labour activities has always been visibly lower than that of men, whether in rural or urban areas. Women in India suffer from a range of discriminatory measures that limit their access to schooling, health care, appreciation and respect for their hard and useful work. As is typical throughout the world, women in India bear the major burden of work in and around the home. In addition to this, in this still largely rural country, women perform much unpaid work in the fields which fails to be reflected in national accounting. The invisibility of much of women‟s work, in the home and the fields, may contribute to their low status and the ill treatment from which they commonly suffer. In the view of gender researchers..........
