The study of conflicts in the post World War II era has focused more on intra-state conflicts as there has been a significant decrease in terms of inter-state wars in the world. It is in this context that concepts of conflict transformation have been used to examine conflicts. The emergence of civil wars, insurgency, and other forms of inter-state conflicts has gathered interest in terms of solving these problems. North east India has been a region that has been beset with conflict since its integration with the Indian union and ever since the region has witnessed conflict that have been categorized as low intensity conflicts by scholars and researchers who have examined conflict in the region. In this article, an examination of the conflict in north east India is made to provide a clear understanding on the current trends in the region. It also argues that the conflict in the region is waning weak and thereby there is a possibility that conflict in the region might soon be solved. The article clearly puts forward that the conflict which had secessionism and separatism in its early day now seem to be moving towards establishing peace as there is a lack of leadership that is growing within various insurgent groups in the region. Thus the articles posits that conflict in the region is waning weak.

 Abstract

Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) is an education system recently introduced by CBSE, sees its main aim in the overall evaluation of the learners. It was formulated to do away with the exam-centric approach rampant in our evaluation system. The focus of the teaching-learning experience was aimed to gradually manoeuvre from merely being a means to perform well in examinations, to bring a platform of learning. With holistic learning being seen as real education, Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) aimed to bring the focus on developing all aspects of an individual�s personality. The cognitive, effective and psychomotor skills of learners, through recognized as vital aspects of learning, had somewhere evaded the exam-oriented education system. This evaluation system will allow the learners to enjoy their schooling and learning in a stress-free environment. Hence, the investigator thought that it would be desirable to study CCE to wipe out rote learning. Because it has more impact on our evaluation system.

 Abstract

Abstract Misconduct is when an employee does something wrong either by doing something, not doing something, or through their behaviour. This may justify some disciplinary action being taken by the employer. Misconduct is wrongful, improper, or unlawful conduct motivated by premeditated or intentional purpose or by obstinate indifference to the consequences of one's acts. Misconduct can be considered an unacceptable or improper behaviour, especially for a professional person. Misconduct includes something seen as unacceptable as well as criminal offenses e.g. deceptive manipulation."Gross Misconduct" can lead to immediate dismissal because it is serious enough and possibly criminal, e.g. stealing or sexual harassment. Misconduct refers to an action, rather than neglecting to take action, or inaction which could be referred to as poor performance. Government Servants play a very important role to run the administration of the Country. They are important constituents of the administrative set up of the nation. They are pillars of the Government Departments on whose shoulders the responsibility to implement the Government policies lies. They provide public services to the citizens at the grass root level and in the same way, they forward grievances of the public, their representations and demands to higher ups for their effective resolution. It is only because of loyalty of Government Servants. The Government Servants have different work culture and responsibilities as compared to their counterparts in private sector. They are smartly paid, have some kind of privileges and facilities but at the same time they have heavy responsibilities toward the Government in particular and public in general. The responsibility of the Government Employees has increased and become time bound. In order to ensure that Government Employees give their best to the country, some constitutional safeguards have been provided to the Government. However, as many a times, some Government Servants start misusing their official power and position. They start shirking work, do not do their work as per rules and orders and indulge in other kinds of misconduct. Therefore, in order to discipline them and to control them, the concept of Departmental Proceedings is provided in the service rules. The procedure to be followed in Disciplinary Proceedings is generally laid down in Service Rules and Standing Orders made there under. However, the procedure, so laid down, is subordinated to the provisions of the Constitution of India i.e. any rule cannot be ultra-vires the provisions of the Constitution, e.g. Article-309, 310,311 etc. Although the provisions of the Indian Evidence Act,1872, do not apply to the Departmental Proceedings but the principle of Natural Justice has to be followed. Thus, Reasonable Opportunity to defend himself must be given to the person against whom Departmental Proceedings have been initiated. It is also to note that acquittal in criminal proceedings on the same set of charges, per se, does not entitle the delinquent to claim immunity from Disciplinary Proceedings, the Departmental Proceedings against a Government servant starts with the lodging of a complaint with the Disciplinary Authority. On the receipt of a complaint, it is open to the Disciplinary Authority to hold preliminary inquiry to ascertain the prima facie truth in the allegations. The complaint may be made by an ordinary citizen or superior officer of the employee.

Employee Promotion Criteria analysis using Adaptive Linear Neuron Methodology Promoting employees to next category is to be done carefully, otherwise, it can lead to repercussions in the organization. For instance, if an employee who is not good, is promoted to the next level, he may not be able to perform well in the next level. Also, good employees, who are not promoted may leave the organization with dissatisfaction. This project aims at developing a tool for identifying the employees to be promoted, using measurable criteria like hardwork index, Delivery Index. Hard work index is calculated by using positive factors like: Additional hours spent during last year, Additional week end days (either sat/sun), Additional total week ends, Compensatory Leaves not Utilized. Negative factor like LOPs are also considered during the calculation. The delivery index is calculated by considering the positive factors: Number of on-time deliveries, Role played during delivery (Crucial/Important/Medium/Low), and Number of delayed deliveries as a negative factor. PyQt tool is used to create the Graphical User interfaces. All the Front end code is generated automatically by PyUIC.

 Abstract

Thyroid disease is a commonly occurring disease. Thyroid disease can result from conditions that cause over-or under-function of the thyroid gland. The overactive thyroid is known as Hyperthyroidism and the underactive thyroid is known as Hypothyroidism. A TSH test is done to find out if your thyroid gland is working the way it should. TSH stands for �Thyroid Stimulating Hormone� and the test measures how much of this hormone is in your blood. However TSH test is not enough to detect all the problems of Thyroid. Additional tests like T3 test and T4 test need to be carried out. A T3 test measures the blood level of the hormone T3 (triiodothyronine), and T4 test measures thyroxin. A Naive Bayes classifier is a probabilistic machine learning model that�s used for classification task by using Bayes theorem of probability. It is a supervised learning algorithm which makes predictions for new data using Bayes theorem. Naive Bayesian Classification is used to classify the given sample and detect the thyroid problem.

 Abstract

Energy has become an important and one of the basic infrastructures for economic development of a country. Every sector of the national economy-agriculture, industry, transport, commercial and domestic-needs inputs of energy. Thus, consumption of energy in all forms has been steadily rising all over the country. In this background, there is urgent need for the country to develop a sustainable path of energy development. Promotion of energy conservation and increased use of renewable energy sources are the two best options for the same. India is a country with more than 1.3 billion people accounting for more than 18% of world�s population. In recent years, India�s energy consumption has been increasing at a relatively fast rate due to population growth and economic development, even though the base rate may be somewhat low. In India most of the power generation is carried out by conventional energy sources, coal and mineral oil-based power plants which contribute heavily to pollution and emissions. Also, the conventional energy resources are depleting, which is a very severe problem which affects economic development of our country due to dependence on other countries for conventional resources. Thus, it is essential to tackle the energy crisis through judicious utilization of abundant the renewable energy resources. India has great potential to accelerate the use of its endowed renewable resources to power its growing economy with a secure and affordable energy supply. India, with its vast population and limited natural resources for meeting its energy requirements, needs to maintain its momentum of growth and this can be made possible only with a clear strategy for use of best possible energy options available. India needs to have a long term strategy for meeting its energy needs by 2030 and a short term goal of 175GW by 2022 which can be small steps towards attaining energy security by 2030. This paper describes the current scenario and future needs of India with respect to renewable energy resources.

ABSTRACT Indian English literature (IEL) is the body of work by writers in India who write in the English language and whose native or co-native language could be one of the numerous languages of India. Its early history began with the works of Michael Madhusudan Dutt followed by R. K. Narayan, Mulk Raj Anand and Raja Rao who contributed to Indian fiction in the 1930s. It is also associated with the works of members of the Indian diaspora who are of Indian descent. It is frequently referred to as Indo-Anglian literature. (Indo-Anglian is a specific term in the sole context of writing that should not be confused with Anglo-Indian). As a category, this production comes in the broader realm of postcolonial literature�the production from previously colonized countries such as India.

In foreseeable future plastic material will be very different than those that are used today. With increasing requirement of sustainable development, it is need to design manufacturing process by adopting principles of Green Chemistry. The plastic preparation process is carried out by using green resources for which clean removal is possible. Biggest advantage of biodegradable plastic is its decomposition is achieved when bacteria in environment naturally metabolize the plastic. This paper critically aims at comparative study on quantitative analysis in terms of yield and qualitative analysis in terms of colour brightness by using starting material in the form of starch such as cornflour, rice, Manihot esculenta (arrowroot), tapioca sago (sabudana), barnyard millet(bhagar), water chestnut(shingada)etc.
