Abstract:Today the world is called a global village. This is attributed to the rapid growth of civilization and revolution in Information Technology. Nagaland a remote northeastern state in India was very recently unknown to the outside world. But thanks to the Internet and other forms of Information Technology, Nagaland is today a part of the global village. Different forms of media have invaded the lives of the Nagas today. However, the foray of social media into the Naga society has differently impacted their thoughts and actions. Social Media has been criticized for a lot of reasons in many countries, but the purpose of the study is to define positive aspects of a particular social networking blog, whose sole aim is to work for social upliftment. The finding of this study suggests that youths in online communities actively follow campaigns and participate in social movements. Overall, the findings show that through social media networks, youths can mobilize people of different communities and regions for a common cause.

A relational database was generated on the GIS platform and a generalized score was given to each parameter to categorize the block to measures the educational development status. Result of the study showed average pupil-teacher ratio was 29.31percent in the district, while the district had 24.43 percent female teachers at primary level and 29.42 percent at upper primary level. Results also illustrated that schoolteacher ratio (rho – 0.52), school-student ratio (rho – 0.44), school-classroom ratio (rho – 0.60) showed positive and significant relationship with the average per cent of passed student. However, blocks of the eastern part of the district are attaining highest facility compare to the western part at both the primary and upper primary level.

Abstract: The scope of judicial review of administrative action has been the central theme of discussion in administrative law. Initially common law countries including India adopted the doctrine of wednesbury reasonableness to review administrative action. But subsequently under influence of civil law systems and Strasburg jurisprudence the doctrine of proportionality is being gradually accepted as the standard of judicial review by the common law countries. There are two models of proportionality namely the British Model or the state limiting conception of proportionality and the European model or the optimizing concept of proportionality. Of the two the European model is more objective and hence preferred. The Indian Supreme Court accepted the doctrine of proportionality in the year 2000. Yet even today the Indian legal system has not come to terms with the doctrine. There is hardly any case where the doctrine has been practically applied. The need of the hour is to increasingly apply the doctrine of proportionality to review administrative action in India.
