Abstract: The Present article focuses on the in Higher Education in India. Because the 'Gender Bias' is a term commonly used to illustrate how far women have remained in seizing opportunity for improving their level of living. The Law treats women and men as enjoying equal rights. Focusing on gender issues in the context of the social sector development means empowering women as agents of socio-economic change. This paper reveals that there is a considerable difference between male and female in taking their higher education. Even though the importance of learning and grasping a quality education enables the individual to put his or her potential use are clear and which makes a person right thinker and a correct decision-maker the enrollment of women in education that to in higher education is very less. The current picture related to our country shows however that the gender gap remains persistent in literacy rate. Despite the increasing literacy rates of all individuals and of women, the gender gap continues to be inflexibly wide.

Title	:	An assessment of the effectiveness of interventions against gender based violence in Zimbabwe: A case Study of Gweru Urban District (1986-2011)
Country	:	Zimbabwe
Authors	:	Luckson Mashiri, Primrose Rufaro Mawire
	:	10.9790/1959-1431325

Abstract: This research has been informed by the ever increasing cases of gender based violence (GBV) globally and specifically in Zimbabwe. There is an acknowledgement that both males and females suffer from gender based violence, however, studies show that women, especially young women, and children of both sexes are most often the victims. Gender based violence comes in different forms which include rape and sexual assault, violence between intimate partners as well as violence associated with war or political instability. As a response to the devastating effects of gender based violence, there are strategies that have been instituted to try to address the causes and effects of gender based violence. However, these strategies have not been effective enough as gender based violence remain high in Zimbabwe. One major drawback in the studies of gender based violence is the lack of agreed standard in the collection and presentation of data on gender based violence. To effectively curb gender based violence there is need for implementation of laws that have been put in place to curb gender based violence as laws on paper without implementation are just as good as having no laws. There is also need to have strategies that address the underlying causes of gender based violence. This can be achieved through the concept of changing the rivers flow which deals with addressing the underlying causes of gender based violence.

Abstract: Due to construction of Peddagedda Reservoir in the agency area of Vizianagaram district about 184 tribal families from seven tribal villages were affected and displaced. The project affected tribal families were rehabilitated in colonies at five different places, located nearer to the reservoir. After displacement, about 14 families were migrated to other places in search of livelihood. Displaced tribal people were forced to change their traditional occupation, basically for survival and subsistence. This research paper presents a case study of displaced tribal people of the Peddagedda reservoir,who belongs to Konda dora, Manne dora, and Nooka dora tribes. It is an anthropological holistic study, employed Anthropological Ethnographic Methodology for collection of empirical data. The research article is mostly descriptive in nature and comprises of both semantic and scientific explanations. The research paper forms the part of the major research project titled "Displacement, marginalization and exclusion of tribes due to construction of dams and reservoirs in Andhra Pradesh" sponsored by University Grants Commission, New Delhi. It highlights the problems of displaced tribal people, specifically forced migration and occupational change. It also reveals that, how the enforced and involuntary displacement leads to social exclusion, in addition to various impoverishment risks such as landlessness, joblessness, homelessness, marginalization, food insecurity, increased morbidity and mortality, loss of common resources and social disarticulation. All these factors coincide with the Michael cernea's observations on the issue of human displacement on the name of development projects.
