Abstract: The tribals of India constitute about 8.2% of the total population. Even though, tribals are not perceived as untouchable 'lower caste Hindu' population by the mainstream upper-caste Hindus, they are marginalized and considered as backward and primitive 'jati' or caste with a pariah status (Mitra, 2008). This perception however, did not help the tribals. Whereas, lower caste Hindus enjoyed minimal opportunities to integrate with mainstream society and to share few common custom and traditions, the tribals have been excluded and isolated from the mainstream society (Mitra, 2008). The Koragas are one of the primitive tribes perhaps the poorest among the scheduled tribes in Karnataka and Kerala faced serious problems such as povertyillhealth ,malnutrition, morbidity leading to mortality together with deforestation, exploitation result in depopulation of the particular primitive tribe.

Abstract: The traditional values of getting a good job in a reputed organization being loyal to their staff, being loyal to their organization and of long term Company Staff with a single Company Staff are all going the way of the do-do bird. This is not a result of a degenerating of standards or social values; it is a response to a natural evolution in the market place. In the past we thought institution could be handled scientifically according to the Newtonian physics notions of cause and effect. Current trend say that institutions are best viewed as natural systems, which need to change in response to both the environment and the changing, makeup of the system involved.This is easy to say it is not easy to do. The vast majority of people still believe that a job-based society is the norm and science this is the only system they know their values reflect this belief. A Major task for corporations and governments over the next few decades will be one of moving people and their values into the more organically organized work place. Where jobs exist they will rarely have a standard job description or a fixed place in an institution chart. People will move within and among institution to the places they are needed and where their interests lie. When more people are needed, they will be brought into the system in any number of ways. When people are not needed, they will move out of the institution. The concept of job security of a thing will be the past.Everyone has experienced that how job services of librarian particularly in educational institution has eroded over the past few years. Hence the researcher is interested in studying how institutional climate ensure job security and build good morality among librarian in the work place Organization.

Abstract: Land use and land cover change have been among the most important perceptible changes taking place around us. Although the magnitude, variety and spatial heterogeneity of changes taking place have made the quantification and assessment of land use and land cover changes a challenge to scientists [1]. Information on land use/land cover in the form of maps and statistical data is very important for spatial planning, management and utilization of land. With the changing times and increasing demand on the availability of information on land use/land cover, it becomes necessary to have a standard classification system, precise definition on land use/land cover and its categories, uniform procedures of data collection and mapping on different scales over Indian region [2]. Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are the essential tools in assessing and analyzing land use/land cover changes. These tools also provide the synoptic information on land use/land cover, mapping of land use spatial distribution and the detection of changes by means of multi-temporal analysis. This article seeks to examine the distribution of different land use/land cover categories and their changes occurring from 1970-1971 to 2010-2011, trend in land use/land cover changes in Binpur-II block, Paschim Medinipur district, West Bengal (Fig. 1). The importance of Remote Sensing and GIS techniques in mapping the change detection has also highlighted.

Abstract: In this postcolonial progress-philic age, "progress" in India (and in many other parts of the world) has come to acquire a special meaning which invokes increased marginalization of the already marginalised sections of society, realised through well-orchestrated acts of displacement, insufficient rehabilitation and relentless brutalization of rivers, forests, hills and its indigenous inhabitants. However, all this is done in the name of the "greater common good" with the professed intention of benefitting the entire nation in general and, the poor and the vulnerable in particular. However, in practice, such developmental drives have shown a completely different face proving grossly "ecocidal" and enormously destructive to indigent humans. Development projects of this nature, which include big dams and aggressive mining industries, have brought unforeseen miseries of unimaginable magnitude to the poor tribal populations and the dalits who are systematically disenfranchised, uprooted, displaced and just left to die. These subaltern social groups which invariably have to bear the brunt of the state-sponsored developmental discourse -concretized in behemoth-like projects- have largely disappeared into the irredeemable anonymity of history. Arundhati Roy, in a series of cerebral and polemical essays, has not confined herself to a cosmetic exploration of their plight. She has endeavoured to move beyond the sketchy generalities, the schematic formulations and has tried to reclaim the largely encroached space of these subaltern groups who are hardly heard and even less understood. In this paper I try to show how in the post-developmental (or, anti-developmental) mode, Roy contests and denudes the largely misleading state-backed development discourse, bolstered and seconded by a highly motivated corporate-sponsored cornucopian narrative.
