INTRODUCTION: The growth of the world population, increasing urbanization, rising standards of living, and rapid development in technology have all contributed to an increase in both the amount and the variety of wastes generated by industrial and domestic and other activities. The problems of dealing with greater volumes of often more dangerous waste materials are particularly acute in developing countries where these changes have not been met by improvements in waste management technologies. Plastic is the common term used for a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials it�s used in a huge, growing, range of application from packaging to buildings from cars to medical devices, toys, clothes. This synthetic material composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, and sculpture. Which have high molecular weight Macro molecules by polymerization makes plastic. During manufacturing allows it to be cast, pressed, or extruded into a variety of shapes like films fibers, plates, tubes, bottles, boxes, and much more by application of heat and pressure or force. METHODOLOGY: Quantitative approach was adopted to achieve the objectives of the study, which is felt to be most appropriate in the field of education for its practicability in real life situation. It has the advantage of practicability, feasibility and to a certain extent for generalization. Research design was Descriptive research design. The study was conducted at Gajanana I.P.S police colony, Chittoor. Population includes Housewives residing at Gajanana I.P.S Police colony, Chittoor. Sample size consists of 100 Housewives under inclusion criteria. Non probability convenient sampling technique was adopted based on inclusion criteria. RESULTS: Out of 100 samples majority (59%) were having moderate knowledge, 18per cent were having inadequate knowledge and 23per cent were having adequate knowledge on hazards of plastic usage. There is significant association between level of knowledge of housewives with religion, education, occupation, monthly income, type of family, usage of plastic bag was significant at <0.05 level where as remaining demographic variables (age, source of information) are not showing any significant. So null hypothesis rejected. The mean knowledge score was 1.95 and the standard deviation was 0.642.Based on the findings, it is found that most of the Housewives had moderate knowledge on hazards of plastic usage. CONCLUSION: Association of knowledge on hazards of plastic usage among housewives with their selected demographic variables like religion, education, occupation, monthly income, type of family, and plastic bag usage significant at 0.05 level. Hence HO2 was rejected. And some of the variables have not shown significance such as age and source of information. So null hypothesis rejected. The mean knowledge score was 1.95 and the standard deviation was 0.642. These findings suggested structured teaching Programme will improve the knowledge regarding hazards on plastic usage.

In a period that is apparently soaked with state sanctioned trial of all tints and stripes, it is anything but difficult to fail to remember that evaluations not just measure the execution of understudies, yet additionally unite and upgrade their learning. Evaluation for learning is best clarified as a cycle by which the appraisal data can be utilized by educators to change their instructing systems while understudies change and modify their learning draws near. Successfully executed, developmental evaluations can change over homeroom culture to one that resounds with the victory of learning. In this paper, we present 10 proverbs that show ways that developmental appraisals can be better comprehended, acknowledged, and actualized.

 Abstract

In the Indian social order dalits had not sanctioned any rights on the cultivation of intelligence and acquiring knowledge. This situation has changed after the coming of Christian Missionaries in to our society. Activities of Christian missionaries had brought positive change in the social and spiritual life of dalits. They are providing free education to all caste children�s including dalits. Perhaps it was in the missionaries� schools children of all sections got opportunity to get education. Yet Christian missionary schools inclusive policy faced difficulties. Some Hindu caste people have withdrew their children�s from the missionary schools when children of untouchables began to enter in. This has led to the creation of special schools for dalits children�s. This article discussed on which other agencies, such government and nongovernment organizations work in involved in creating special schools apart from the Christian missionaries.

Blended learning is a formal education program in which the student learns in part through online learning, and partly in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home. The strengths of e-learning include flexibility, personalization, interactivity and adaptability as the ability of the educational process for students with different abilities and demands. This collaborative setting has more enriched learning experience and collaboration among students can be improved upon if group activities rely on information gathered from online resources or lessons. The key to the transformation of teaching and learning that we have explored in this paper will depend largely on a commitment to collaborative leadership and governance structure.

ABSTRACT The present research study on various physicochemical parameters and trace metals in the vicinity of Thuvakudi Village Pond and nearby ground water in Trichy, Tamil Nadu, is a main source of water for irrigation system, other bore wells, industrial use and underground water intake for drinking purpose in near vicinity of the pond by residents envisage an alarming condition of water quality. In this research study the suitability of underground water for drinking and the contamination levels in the pond by human and industrial activities has been investigated in two seasonal variations during pre-monsoon and post monsoon period. The results are compared with various national and international water quality standards and justifying the same with some remedial measures by creating awareness among the living community. An attempt was made to remove heavy metal such as Fe (III) ion by using (CGS-POP) composite made up of Crumb rubber, Graphite and Sawdust mounted on Plaster of Paris. The mechanism is simple adsorption and ion exchange between the trace metal and the adsorbent layer.

 Abstract

The formation of high salt deposit upon heating the water taken from the ground to analyse the Physico-Chemical parameters and to assess the reliability of drinking water quality within the vicinity of Chibombo region in Ten Miles, Zambia at model site. The parameters include water temperature, rain fall, weather conditions, humidity, colour, odour, turbidity, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total alkalinity, hardness, biological oxygen demand (BOD) and minerals studies have been analysed throughout the year 2014 .The results showed that some of the parameters like turbidity, odour and colour are at acceptable limit. The total hardness and the total dissolved solids are not within the permissible limit due to seasonal variation and increased environmental pollutants. It was found that the hardness was high due to the calcium and magnesium mineral contents such as Iron is high with little traces of Copper due to availability of copper deposit at many provinces and leaching from salty rocks beds. It is observed that the water is not suitable for drinking and special attention must be drawn to execute water softener technology such as RO or any other sophisticated ion exchange system is needed for domestic purpose. This research paper discusses and reports the prevailing conditions of water around Ten Miles region, Chibombo district, Zambia.

Abstract � Advertising is a field that has existed since the times of businesses, and as competition grew and more and more people started taking and interest in buying products that they like, from brands they trust, advertising took centre stage, becoming a pivotal source of dialogue from the brand�s side targeted towards the customers and consumers. As advertising grew in popularity the need to make advertisements that were better than the competitors became pivotal, leading brands to come up with new and exciting means of advertising themselves. It also became important to increase the effectiveness of the advertisements by targeting the correct audience and ensuring that the advertisement captured the attention of consumers. From this need, arose advertising agents whose job became to ensure that the brands message was communicated effectively through the advertisements and it reached the target audience. The advertising landscape changed majorly with the development of new forms of technology, namely, Radio, TV, Mobile, Social media etc. Most of these mediums still thrive but some have lost their shine. It is important for advertisers to choose a medium that helps them reach their target market. It is evident that advertising has undergone several major changes over the years, both as a creative process and as an industry. The representation of women and people of colour kept changing and reflecting the values held by the society at that time. The changes in the social norms have changed advertising as a whole, advertising depends on the consumers and the consumers and their likes and dislikes, as well as what is acceptable socially and what is not. Since these things are ever-changing, it can be said that advertising too, is ever changing.
