The concept of mutual fund is similar to that of a portfolio which follows the policy of "not all the eggs in the same basket". The pool of funds collected through mutual funds is invested in diversified financial instruments. The funds are managed by professional fund manager who apply their special managing skills in devising superior portfolio strategies for maximum gain of investors at minimum risk. The study is to measure the performance of the selected mutual funds of HDFC and SBI, on the basis of NAV and different parameters, along with make a comparative analysis of performance of similar funds of HDFC and SBI. The period of the study is for ten years commencing from (1-4-2009 to 1-4-2018). Coefficient of correlation is used to get an effective view regarding the NAV movement of the mutual fund schemes. For the purpose of performance evaluation Sharpe Ratio is calculated for the period 3 years. The mutual fund schemes are ranked accordingly on basis of Sharpe Ratio in decreasing order of performance. The equity based funds are generally highly risky but along with they provide higher value of NAV over the period. These are favorable for that investor who is interested to take high risk with comparatively high return. One of the options in the hands of the investors is that they can take the SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) option which helps the investors to equalize the volatility of the market to a certain extent.

 Abstract

So far as human rights are concerned women are the worst sufferers. They are not only marginalized but also ill-treated in most cases. Violence against women and girls is the worst form of deprivation and denial of dignity and equality of rights, respect and resources but also most pervasive human rights violation in the globalized world today. Women face multiple problems at homes and at workplaces, particularly in the informal sector. Low wages, lack of security and sexual harassment are some of the fundamental issues even in India where women constitute 50 per cent of the population. The problem gets confounded when viewed from the legal perspective. Lack of effective legal channels not only slackens the pace of organisation per se but also hinders women empowerment. This paper attempts to study the concerns and conditions of women in India's unorganized sector. While discussing the various exploitative forces and tendencies, the paper also analyses the alternative evaluator and enabling mechanisms for women in general and working women in particular. Based on the findings conclusion is derived that for a changing perception (attitude) and practice (behavior) towards women, our society should strengthen the decision making roles of women rights from the grassroots level. From Panchayats to Parliament - women need to be productively engaged and empowered.

 Abstract

Curriculum, teaching, and learning are all inextricably linked. Understanding each of these ideas and their interrelationships has emerged as an increasing necessity in today's educational system for the achievement of educational objectives. Understanding these linkages will clearly assist stakeholders understand their roles and responsibilities, as well as the need of working together to address the educational requirements of future generations. Curriculum is a guide for the process of teaching and learning that answers problems such as what to teach, when to teach, who to educate, how to teach, and why to teach. These responses are eventually implemented/practiced throughout the teaching process, and as a consequence, learning occurs. Learning is assessed in accordance with the purposes and objectives (Why to teach) that are established when developing the curriculum. If these goals are not accomplished, the curriculum, as well as the teaching and learning process, are re-examined, reviewed, and adjusted as needed. As a result, we can see that there is a cyclical link between these notions or processes. Curriculum may be thought of as a blueprint that we develop for fulfilment.

 Abstract

Ravan: Enemy of Aryavarta is Amish's third installment in the Ram Chand series that explores and redefines the legendary antagonist from the popular Hindu epic Ramayana in a much more modernistic, realistic and humanist fashion to the contemporary readers in the landscape of fictitious genre of mythology. He exercises his creative license to articulate Ravan's tormented metaphorical representation of being a Naga, widely ostracised due to the I will conceived notion of evil karmic interpretation manifesting in his present life. Amish opens the door to multifaceted conceptualisation, misconception and understanding of karma and its nature as a belief and applied theory in the larger philosophical framework of the Hindu way of life. Ravan's disillusionment about Dharma and its neurosis manifest and reverberate at the objectively universal and individual level in the form of adharma and Swadharma, the ongoing negotiation of an individual with an established belief and his perception of it. Precisely explored, contemplated and heavily debated between him and Vedavati. In Amish's caricature, Ravan symbolises the modern man caught in worldly Maya, the materialistic slew of human existence that corrupts the soul. It acts as the fulcrum in his book, balancing both karma and Dharma in the most complex and proficient manner that makes Ravan's character dynamic diabolical and engaging to answer some of the most difficult questions that are very fundamental to human nature and its conception and application in the society. This paper intertwines the concepts of Karma, Dharma and Maya, which are the tenants of the Hindu philosophical school of thought to navigate Ravan's journey in the grand landscape of the popular epic to the readers.

The present study aimed to assess the effect of different series of asanas (Postures) i.e. sureyanamasakara , on body composition Variable of Obese Women. Thirty obese women in Panjab University, Chandigarh hostler age ranged 23-27year were purposively selected for in this study. The participants were divided into 2 groups: the intervention group (n = 15), which undertook a sureyanamasakara practice, and the control group (n = 15). Body composition, including percent body fat (PBF) and body mass index (BMI) was evaluated using digital body composition analyzer. Our results showed that the mean percent body fat (PBF) and Body Mass Index (BMI) of the yoga intervention group were significantly decreased at week 8. In conclusion; a continuous yoga practice had a tendency to decrease PBF and BMI. These findings demonstrate intervention effectiveness similar to that observed in other clinical research and indicate that continuous Yoga practice may be used as an alternative therapy for obesity prevention and health promotion in chubby women.
