This study was guided by the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference between the views of students about the role of teachers’ attitude and attribute in fostering their self-esteem. A self developed questionnaire was used as an instrument to collect the required information, data was collected personally. Validity and reliability of the instrument was checked through a pilot run. The respondents of the pilot study were from the population but were not included in sample. The questionnaire was found reliable with a Chronbach Alpha value 0.83. This study was descriptive in nature. All the students studying at secondary level constituted the population of this study. Keeping in view the total strength of the students in different schools at secondary level, 815 students of class 10th were sampled using proportional allocation technique. Chi Square was used for data analysis. The collected data was tabulated and interpreted in the light of objective. Significant difference was found as the respondents agreed regarding the role of teacher’s attitude and attribute in fostering students’ self esteem. It was concluded that the role of the female teachers was more effective as compared to male teachers regarding their attitude towards their students in fostering self-esteem. <#LINE#> @ @ Rosenberg M., Society and the adolescent self-image.

This subtle remark emphasizes the substantive requirement of agricultural progress as the basis of long-term economic development. Development in general and particularly in agricultural sector has to be sustainable, inclusive and perpetual. However, the irony is that the peasantry which feeds the entire humanity and creates the source for their survival, today themselves faces a crisis of extinction. Farmers suicides represents the most tragic culmination of this crisis. Facing crop failures, drought, lack of easy credit, high input cost etc., farmers are battered by indifferent administration and apathetic political class and slaughtered by a three pronged attack of indignity, non recognition and humiliation. <#LINE#> @ @ The Indian Express, Sunday (2013) @No $ @ @ Sainath P., In 16 years, farm suicides cross a quarter million, The Hindu(2012) @No $ @ @ Farmers' suicides in India, Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2013) @No $ @ @ Thozhilalar kooodam, A blog on labour issuesin india, (2013) @No $ @ @ Rhinehart V.

Since time immemorial, the story of human rights has been the story of human wrongs. More than one-sixth of India’s population, approximately 170 million people live in sub-human existence, shunned by much of the society because of their position as ‘untouchables’ or ‘Dalits’ literally means ‘broken’ people. National legislations and constitutional provisions serve only to mask the realities of discrimination and atrocities faced by the ‘society created sub-humans’ living below ‘pollution line’. The present paper tries to find the nature and magnitude of atrocity on Dalits. It has dealt with the conceptual category of ‘Human Rights’ and ‘Dalit’ and its historical underpinning for being discriminated. It also deals with the sociological and legal constraints for Dalits getting justice. The paper also endeavours to trace the compatibility of Human Rights with social order in villages and has tried to trace the nature and magnitude of Human Rights violation of Dalits. <#LINE#> @ @ Baxi Upendra (ed.), Right to be Human, Lancer International, New Delhi,185 (1987) @No $ @ @ Bajwa G.S., Human Rights in India: Implementation and Violations, Anmol Publishers, New Delhi ( 1995) @No $ @ @ Macfarlane L.J., The Theory and Practice of Human rights, Maurice Temple Smith, London, 6 (1985) @No $ @ @ Ray Arun, National Human Rights Commission of India: Formation, Function and future Prospects, Vol. 1, Khanna Publishers, New Delhi, 8 (2003) @No $ @ @ Vincent R.J, Human Rights and International Relations, Cambridge University Press, New York (1986) @No $ @ @ Shelby, David.

It is an important assumption that the Media speaks for the people, represents the interests of the society, and serves as a check on the government. This process holds government accountable and transparent. Through this function the media helps to ensure good governance. But in changed social milieu the sanctity of media has been questioned in every society. As a largest democracy, it is very alarming in India. The menace of Paid news is the latest and much discussing moth-eaten condition in the sphere of mass media in the country. The phenomenon of ‘paid news' goes further beyond the corruption of individual journalists and media institutions. In this situation how can the media discharge their watchdog function in a democratic system?. How the Media can speak for the people, represents the interests of the society. And how can ensure the good governance?

Counselling in schools is definitely the bridge that might fill this gap. The area of school counselling in India is very young and needs to spread and establish itself. The norms for it’s practice have to be laid down, the need for school counselling requires a proper recognition and all efforts need to be put together to utilize this very important psychological skill in preventing and in responding to the various psychosocial needs of the school children. The present paper seeks to review an emerging area of counselling in schools in India. The objectives of the paper are, to stress the need for counselling in schools in India, to trace the history of school counselling in India, to scrutinize the current position of counselling in the Indian schools, to analyse the norms to be laid down for the practice of counselling in the schools in India.

The purpose of this paper is to provide practitioners with application-oriented information on how PRA tools were utilized to help communities take ownership through group analysis, planning, and action, with the added benefit of improving cooperative efforts between outsiders and insiders. PRA technique like mappings, group meetings, village assembly, problem priority chart and people initiated action plan, seasonal calendars, trend and change analysis, survey and transect walk were applied in the said village. In this present study, 15 student social workers with one fieldwork supervisor conducted the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) camp of 10 day (3days training and 7 days camp) in the said village. After this PRA the student social workers were again placed in the same village to take follow up of planned task. This study also attempts to share with the participants about the significance of PRA in participatory rural development. <#LINE#> @ @ David Brown, Mick Howes, Karim Hussein, Catherine Longley and Ken Swindell, participatory methodologies and participatory practices: assessing pra use in the gambia, ODI- Agricultural Research and Extension Network, AgREN- Network Paper No. 124,1-15, (2002)http://www.odi.org.uk/sites/odi.org.uk/files/odi-assets/publications-opinion-files/5204.pdf @No $ @ @ Robert Chambers, Institute of Development Studies, Brighton, The Origins and Practice of Participatory Rural Appraisal*, Pergamon, World Development, 22(7), 953-969 (1994) http://www.google.com/url?sa=tandrct=jandq= andesrc=sandsource=webandcd=1andved=0CCgQFjAAandurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alnap.org%2Fpool%2Ffiles%2Fchambers-pra.pdfandei=MfnPUt63BoyErAfggo CYDwandusg=AFQjCNEzP4SbW3XXO3r5MFCyMiB10zBkxwandbvm=bv.59026428,d.bmk @No $ @ @ Developing A Micro Plan, SAS-3, Module 3A, Session: Understanding Participatory Planning, Developing a Micro Plan, pp 1-8, http://www.silaka.org/current/pecsa/sas3/ 3aa_dmp_eng.pdf (2013) @No $ @ @ ‘Drushti’ - Stree Adhyayan Prabodhan Kendra, national commission for women new delhi, an evaluation of impact of shg on the social empowerment of women in maharashtra, pp 5-6 http://ncw.nic.in/pdfreports/shg-maharashtra.pdf (2013) @No $ @ @ Robert Chambers and Irene Guijt, PRA - five years later, Where are we now?
