For
the fourth time this year the statutory forest clearance panel, Forest Advisory
Committee, (a key environment ministry panel) has green signaled a mining
project in the Naxal-affected Saranda forests of Jharkhand. Saranda forests, is
among 26 districts identified by the central government as most-highly
Left-wing extremism-affected districts with 80% violence in the last three
years. This time this is an iron ore for Rungta Mines. The forest panel has suggested
that 99 hectares, of which 90 hectares be the virgin forest, be diverted for
iron ore mines.
In January 2013 the Forest Advisory Committee
had recommended the diversion of 1500 hectares to allow JSW Steel and Jindal
Power and steel mine iron ore and manganese. In February 2013, the statuary panel
advised the ministry to permit SAIL to mine iron and ore in 243 hectares
of Saranda forests in the Jhillingburu Division. The panel’s recommendation to allow mining in
some 1,800 hectares of Saranda forest might further intensify the environmental
and nexal problem in the Saranda, dense
forest area in the hilly region of West Singhbhum
district of Jharkhand, dotted with huge iron ore
reserves. 855 Squire Kilometer area of the dense Sal forest had been under
Maoist control for more than one decade. Following the reclamation of Saranda Forests
by the paramilitary forces in August 2011, the government embarked on a
development strategy- Saranda development plan or SDP to reduce the risk of
further Maoist insurgency in the area. The main elements of the SDP are: Building
houses, roads, bridge, and implementation of the Forest Rights Act, mobile
health units, watershed development projects and improving access to drinking
water supply. But the fresh reconditions of mining lease might
nullify the government efforts.Currently 9,505 hectares
of land in Saranda forest area has been allotted to private and public sector
companies. Public sector companies have 6,974 hectares and private sector
companies have 2,531 hectare of mines area in possession. Following table shows that production of iron ores
in Jharkhand is much more than actual consumption of iron ore in state.

The
rural development department had
stressed on not to open up the area for mining except by SAIL till such time
that the Saranda Development Plan is fully implemented and the local tribal
population becomes comfortable with the local administration and see the
benefits of development flowing to them in visible and tangible measure. While
Jiiram Ramesh is open to the idea of
Sail mining in the area, his colleague Kishore Chandra Deo is of the view that
there should be a total moratorium on mining in areas most-affected by Maoists.
Deo argues that unresolved land rights and mining were principle causes of
alienation among the tribal population. So far, the local population has no
stake or share in the mining proceeds. The impact on mining on the forests has
been significant. State forest reports show that that between 1997 and 1999,
about 3,200 hectares of forest was lost in the Singhbhum region. Between 2001
and 2003 some 7,900 hectares of dense forests were lost in the East and West Singhbhum districts. So, question arises – what is
the urgency of allotting fresh mines leases in the Saranda forest area when it
is not the only areas where we have mineral resources?

Research
has always been an essential part of human existence. It always starts with
some curious mind questioning the existing parameters and providing all new
conclusions packed with evidences but again ready to be questioned.It’s a driving
force of human evolution. It is an exercise to excel in all spheres of life. We
consider it a proud privilege to promote research, in the form of publication
of the research journal ‘Jamshedpur Research Review’, for the betterment of the
society.
In
this issue of ‘Jamshedpur Research Review’, we have taken up multi-disciplinary
papers to lay focus on all areas. Committing Suicides is a new epidemic that is
invading our society, despite consistent efforts to increase awareness and
enhance life-style management skills. A study by Sudeep Kumar throws light on
suicidal tendencies and community-approach towards its preventive measures.
The study of Prof. Bhaskar Bhawani emphasizes on the need for innovative marketing strategies for banking services to cater the growing demand for rural areas whereas Pinaki Das and Sibaram Chatterjee take up the case study of Paschim Medinipur district to analyse the efficiency and productivity of regional rural banks. It will be interesting as both studies complement each other. Labor migration is a common problem persisting in states like Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Bihar and Odisha. Pramil K. Panda’s paper provides a social economic dimension of agriculture labor migration through different case studies of western Odisha. Raghu, Dhanu, and Niran can be found anywhere in such states. Dr. Prabhat K. Pani has provided an in-depth analysis of quality circles and their future in India.
Maternal mortality scenario prevelant in India is pathetic. Even the census report of 2011 shows no sign of improvement in this regard. Sreeja Jaiswal gives an overall view and recommendations to improve ..Another research scholar, K. Sareef , from Kerala, has come up with very interesting study regarding bibliographic control of Arabic literature in Kerala. It will be useful to all Arabic literature lovers. Manisha Titus explores the farce Indian masculinity in Anita Desai’s ‘Clear Light of Day’ and at the same time succeeds in presenting dominated world of man over woman.

Foreign
Direct Investment (FDI) is considered to be the most attractive type of capital
flow for emerging economies as it is expected to bring latest technology and
enhance production capabilities of the economy (Economic Survey 2008-09). But
foreign investment of any kind might not be that beneficial to the economy. If
foreign investment comes via the route of Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI)
then it might well add to the volatility of stock market of the country without
giving any lasting benefit. So, differentiation between FDI and FPI is all the
more important while taking policy decisions regarding setting the terms and
conditions for accepting foreign capital. Very recently, a committee under the
Chairmanship of Mr. Arbind Mayaram,
Secretary, Dept. of Economic Affairs, has been formed to clarify the domain of
foreign direct investment. FDI in India
has a chequered history. After liberalization, Indian economy witnessed a
phenomenal growth in FDI inflows. The cumulative amount of FDI inflows (total
of equity inflows, re-invested earnings and other capital) for a period
starting from April 2000 and ending on December 2012 stands at USD 280,412
million. Service sectorsaccount
for the maximum FDI inflow (about 18% for the year 2010-11). But nearly 70% of
the flow comes from five countries namely Mauritius,
Singapore, United Kingdom, Japan
and USA
(FDI Statistics, DIPP). About 85% of the total inflows come from top ten
countries contribution to FDI inflow in India. Again, these countries are
regarded as ‘Off-shore Financial Centres (OFC)’ by international bodies like
IMF, FSI and World Bank. So, there is the larking danger of round-tripping of
financial capital into the economy. In this context, present paper attempts to
throw light on the problem of round-tripping and the probable impact of
round-tripping from OFCs through FDI inflow route.
Key
Words: -tripping, FDI, FPI, Round OFC.
PERCEIVED PARENTAL SUPPORT AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IN
BIOLOGY OF SECONDARY SCHOOL TRIBAL STUDENT
Afeef Tharavattath*
This study was conducted to investigate
the relationship between the perceived parental support and achievement in
biological science of secondary school students. The sample was collected from
120 tribal students of Plakkad, Malappuram, Wayanad and Kozhikode
district of Kerala. The sample was drawn using stratified random sampling
technique. Correlation analysis and ‘t’ test was employed to analyse data. The
results revealed that there is a positive relationship between the parental
support and academic achievement. Moreover, there is a significant gender and
type of school difference in the perceived parental support and academic
achievement. Perceived parental support is a boosting factor for academic
achievement for tribal girls than boys.

People
attempt and commit suicide for a variety of reasons, and in diverse social and
personal circumstances. In India
the number of suicide cases per year is increasing at an alarming rate. But, as
a result of prevailing social and religious attitudes suicide is under
reported. Several researchers have studied suicide in different parts of India
to understand the risk factors and protective factors in order to formulate
strategies to prevent this social pathology. In the light of the above, the
present paper attempts to study various aspects of suicide behaviour including
the cause, risk factors and the community level approaches to its prevention.
The study is based on empirical study as well as on secondary literature like
books, journals and web based research within the context of suicide behaviour.
Suicides can be prevented at individual level, family level, community level,
and religious level by teacher, councillors and mass media. Suicide prevention
in India
requires public health interventions. It is high time to make action plans for
preventing suicide on the part of community, government and NGOs.

We
live in an age of unprecedented levels of violence, with constant threats posed
by intolerance, fanaticism, dispute and discordance. Ethical action, peace and
welfare are facing new challenges. A strong need is being felt by
educationists, philosophers, scientists and political leaders to rejuvenate the
human values, which may bring long lasting peace on this planet. The purpose of
education goes beyond the propagation of knowledge. Delor’s Report (1996) on learning to live together
as the central pillar of education proposes that education must be geared to
promote a culture of peace, tolerance, democratic values, human rights and
duties among students. With the reality of the alarming increase in violence in
school life, the National Curriculum Framework (NCF)–2005 strongly advocates
education for peace at all levels of schools. In this backdrop the present
paper tries to epitomise the concept of education for peace in the light of
NCF–2005. In the final section, approach, strategies,
activities and teacher’s role in education for peace in the landscape of school
education are also addressed as envisaged in the NCF–2005.
Key Words : Education, Peace, Human Values, Harmony,
NCF–2005.
CURBING CYBER CRIMES BY INDIAN LAW
* Researcher in Computer Applications at NIT,Jamshedpur and working as Assistant Manager, Vigilance in
Tata Steel Limited, India
In last decade the exponential growth of
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has significantly replaced the
paper based communication with e- communication. But, at the same time, with the development
of this new technology risk of cyber crime is also increased. Cyber crime can
be defined as “Criminal activity
directly related to the use of computers, specifically illegal trespass into
the computer system or database of another, manipulation or theft of stored or
on-line data, or sabotage of equipment and data.
In year 2000 Indian government introduced
the Information Technology (IT) Act,
Objective was to define the use
and misuse of digital medium in the country as well as to bring
the cyber crime under the ambit of Indian law. The paper presented here, attempts to explain the
nature and dimensions of various types of cyber crimes-taking place
today and also
thrash out its curbing through
present cyber laws in the country.

MATERNAL MORTALITY AS A HUMAN RIGHT VIOLATION: INDIAN
JUDICIARY’S RESPONSE TO MATERNAL MORTALITY AMONGST DESTITUTE WOMEN IN INDIA
Sreeja
Jaiswal *
The paper analyses the maternal mortality scenario prevalent
in India
and goes on to construe maternal mortality as a human rights violation
especially of the right to life, right to health and principle of equity and
non discrimination.
The paper then examines India’s
obligations towards improving healthcare facilities for women and reducing
maternal mortality under various International Conventions it has ratified. The
next section deals with analyzing landmark maternal mortality cases in India
which has held maternal mortality to be a human rights violation. The article
concludes by providing recommendations for improving the maternal mortality
situation in India.
It makes a case for adopting the human rights based approach for tackling
maternal mortality.

This paper examines the migration of
agricultural labourers in the Indian countryside in the aftermath of Green
Revolution. By taking the case study of a Western Odisha
village it finds that recurring drought that resulting in the failure of crops
year after year and the consequent unemployment enforced a large number of
people from the neighbouring districts to move out of their villages in search
of jobs. In the meantime, the beginning of agricultural modernization in the
Hirakud Dam Command Area provided them the much needed opportunity to come and
work in the farms of the local landlords. Due to their sufficient skill in
agricultural works, willingness to work even for fewer wages than the prevailing
market rate, obedient and clientelestic attitude, the landlords started
patronizing them as an alternative work force to counter the monopoly of the
local labourers, which in turn helped the migrant labourers to settle down at
the place of destination permanently. It is also found from the study that many
of them were marginal peasants, tenants and share-croppers at their native
places but drought has compelled all of them to leave the places of origin even
abandoning their immovable properties like land and house.

To
fight Global warming Kyoto
protocol suggested Carbon trading as one of the innovative tool. In India carbon trading is gaining more and more
importance day by day because of existence of India in Annex II countries (Having
no emission reduction target) and opportunity of earning foreign currency
through carbon trading. And the business of carbon trading is increasing faster
than the IT and BPO sectors. In this article I have tried to concentrate on trading
of surplus and deficit carbon units arising on household level i.e. Personal
carbon Trading (PCT) and its different aspect. There are several models of PCT
but all of them have same objective to reduce the emission at individual level
as well as reduction of emission at national level as a whole. But they are
different according to their approaches and scope. For successful
implementation of the scheme public acceptability, government support and
technological base is very important. But considering present India’s situation it is very
important to develop the required infrastructure and political consensus before
implementation of the scheme.

PRODUCTIVITY INDEX.

The
main challenge before a developing nation is to bring up sustainable growth. In
any economy, the financial sector is the main engine that drives economic
growth through the effective allocation of resources to productive units.
Indian financial sector is dominated by the banking sector that contributes
significantly to the level of economic activity, as empirically established by
Jadhav and Ajit (1996). Since independence Indian banks have gone through three
major changes: a period of consolidation of banks (up to 1966), a period of
stagy expansion in both geographical and functional terms (from 1966 to mid –
1980s) and a period of consolidation (from mid- 1980s to 1991). Banking sector
nationalization in 1969 played a pivotal role in accelerating economic
development in the country. This facilitated rapid expansion of banking sector
in bothgeographical and functional terms. On the
other hand, in order to cater exclusively the credit need of rural poor and
priority sectors, RRBs were set up as per recommendation of the working group,
chaired by M. Narashimam, appointed by the Govt. of India in 1975 with an
objective to develop agriculture, village industries and other productive
activities in rural areas by providing credit and other facilities particularly
to the priority sector which uplift the socio-economic conditions of the rural
people. These banks were set up as institutions which combine the local feel
and familiarity with real programmes, which co-operative banks possess and the
degree of business organization, ability to mobilize deposit, access to central
money market and modernized outlook which commercial banks hold. The main idea
behind setting up these banks that the resources mobilized in rural areas would
be used for lending in rural areas.
INDUSTRIALIZATION IN WEST BENGAL DURING LEFT FRONT - A SEARCH FOR ANSWERS TO
SOME QUESTIONS
Dr.
Kajalbaran Jana*
* Assistant Professor of Commerce, Tamralipta Mahavidyalaya, West Bengal
It is very popular debate that
industrialization in West Bengal did not took
place during the Left front regime because of their faulty policy. Whether is
true or false is a matter debate and controversy. But it is true that Freight
Equalization Policy and the Industrial Licensing Policy of Central Govt. mostly
governed by the Congress Party were major component of industrial backwardness
of various states including West Bengal. But
During Nineties the so called introductions of new Economic Policy of Central
Govt. creates opportunities the West Bengal Govt. to under take
industrialization move of their own space and right pace. But these
industrialization moves creates confrontation to the land owners and peasants
who makes their livelihood on these lands. Oppositions led
by Trinmool Congress took this opportunity as anti Govt. strategy as
well as anti Left Front moves by creating movement against land acquisition.
Nandigram and Sigur were most upsetting
incidences before Left Front to under take industrialization in the state. In this very situation it has been
tried in this article to find out some answers to mostly frequent question
arisen Left Front towards Industrialization.

This
paper seeks to pick up two major arguments/criticisms against the long-term
survival of quality circles in India,
and to examine how valid they are in predicting the future of quality circles
in the country. The first and foremost criticism against quality circle is that
it is an alien concept, originated in Japan
which has a distinctively different culture from that of India. Therefore, the concept is
not likely to succeed for too long in India. The second argument is that,
quality circle is basically a group oriented activity, it cannot therefore
function for too long in a country like India where people tend to be more
individualistic in nature.
It
is important to realize the essential pre-conditions for the success of quality
circle in any organization can be explained better in terms of the managerial
philosophy rather than 'national culture' or even 'the organizational culture'.
If Human resource development and quality circle call for identical
prerequisites/requirements for their implementation and if human resource
development can succeed in Indian organizations, there is no reason why quality
circles cannot.

January 2000, put into place a participatory and interactive framework of
governance popularly known as ‘Bhagidari’. It is a good governance initiative
of Government of Delhi that recognizes the importance of collaboration between
citizens and the Government for addressing existing and future issues affecting
the quality of life in the city. As environmental quality is a major casualty
in Delhi due to
spiraling population; this is one of the biggest priorities for the city
government. The Government has tried to respond to this problem through
Bhagidari. This paper primarily deals with the role of ‘Bhagidari’ in
protecting the environment of Delhi.
RURAL MARKETING
STRATEGIES FOR BANKS
ISSUES AND PROSPECTS

Though there has been a marked proliferation of banking
services in the rural areas as a result of social or state compulsion, business
from rural branches has not taken off significantly. The reason for this
lopsided state of affairs is, simply, because of wrong focus and faulty
strategies adopted by the commercial banks. Rural dynamics are altogether very
different, the sub-economy at work, the needs and wants of the rural
population, their attitude and mindset are all substantially different.
Strategies which work in the urban set-ups can never work in the rural world.
So there is a strong need to evolve rural specific strategies particularly in
the domain of operations and marketing. Bankers should take note of the fact that
gone are the days when commerce and business concentrated only in metros and
towns. Today, with the substantial increase in the purchasing
power of the rural communities and saturation of the urban market, the scenario
has reversed. Fortune now lies at the bottom of the pyramid and bankers should
form the base of this economic pyramid. The current paper studies the changing
paradigm of the Indian rural markets and attempts to suggest effective
marketing strategies for bankers operating in the rural sector.

President
Pranab Mukherjee on April 25, 2013 gave his assent to Sexual Harassment of
Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) law. The law can
lead to higher penalties and even cancellation of licence or registration to
conduct business. The new law brings in its ambit even domestic workers and
agriculture labour, employees in both organized and unorganised sectors. National
Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) recorded 9961 sexual harassment cases in 2010, and
8570 in 2011.But the actual number of
sexual harassment cases are many times more than these numbers. Post
liberalization, India
has a significant women workforce in the Banking, Financial Services and
Insurance (BFSI) sector apart from the business process outsourcing
industry. In economically underdeveloped
states like Jharkhand, percentage of women workforce is bigger than male outer
parts. Government has brought about the new law into force early this year with
many terming it as a “big legal breakthrough” ensuring safety of women at
workplace. The article presented here, aims to analyze the provisions of Sexual
Harassment of Womenat
Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) law in the backdrops of Bhawari Devi and Vishaka case.

community. Resources in Arabic language in Kerala, is scattered in libraries
attached to Islamic Institutions, kuthb khanas, madrassas, masjids, personal
libraries of scholars, and Arabic Colleges. It includes manuscripts, copper
plates and digital resources. It should be bibliographically controlled,
digitized and preserved for future generation. ALT and ICT will help us to
complete this tedious task. It will
open a new window to the wide area of information studies and research. The
work will be a great help to research scholars, students at various levels,
faculties of Arabic departments, academicians and the community as a whole.

Traditionally
and mythically assigned roles of man are that of a caretaker and nourishment
provider but selfish male prerogatives in patriarchal society become cause of
incessant female suffering. The paper examines the Indian Masculinity in Anita
Desai’s Novel ‘Clear Light Of Day’ and
explores how women are exploited by men in their families because of
their prerogative of being a male in tradition bound pro-patriarchal Indian
society. Woman who do not comply by pro-patriarchal rules are labelled as transgressors
but men like Raja, Bakul and Misra brothers are not. Self-centred men like Raja
transform home from haven into a site of endless exploitation and anguish. The
paper will explore Bim’s cause of suffering and revert the gaze towards Raja.

The issue of
representation plays a very important role in socio-cultural understanding of a
group. When the issue of representation is related with Language, it becomes
all-the-more important, because language is system that makes us ‘homo
sapiens’. We, as a linguist, consider the spoken language primary and invest
all our energy in understanding the spoken language. At the same time, we
employ various scripts to represent this spoken language in a written form
which makes language not only standard but also powerful. In the present world,
the written form of language plays a very important role in developing
cognition and value of a given variety of language. Present paper, discusses
this symbiotic relationship of language and script. It also tries to identify
the political implications behind the development and/or selection of the
script for a specific language. The paper delivers the idea that any
standardization process is essentially political one.

The warlis, according to Indra Munshi are
largely concentrated in the tehsil of Dahanu, Palghar, Talasari, Mokhada,
Wada, Jawahar, Murbad, Shahapur and Wangaon. Some of the warlis are
also located in the adjoining district to Nashik. ‘It is generally
belived that the warlis once inhabited the region near Dharmapur.
Megasthenes describes this region as the varalata and thus, perhaps, the
warlis acquired the name that they are known by today [sanskritkosa 19,608]’
‘Warli tribe is basically a branch of
bhil tribe. They have been migrated from north. warlis are not untouchables
they are clearly in the process of being assimilated in to Hindu society’ . The
warlis speak an unwritten warli language which belongs to the southern zone of
Indo-Aryan languages mingling Sanskrit, Marathi and Gujarati words. The
word warli derived from warla meaning “piece of land” or field.
The main problems to be faced if the
tribe is to prosper and progress are, in the opinion of the author(K.J.save),
poverty, drink and the influence of their bhagats, that is seers or
medicine men. The warlis completely identify themselves with nature and their
identifications with the forest are legendary.The Koli Raja, popera invaded
the warli Kingdom of jawahar . popera demanded
only that much of land that warli king
agreed to this demand, since he felt that it was a reasonable demand to make. popera
then covered the entire kingdom of jawahar with the cattle hide and
thus the warlis lost their
