satisfaction among women teachers, doctors and clerks of bank

the age group of 18-60 years. The author feels that these are the
professions in which much of the stress comes from nature and
quantity of work and lack of recognition. To study job satisfaction
its influencing factors becomes essential because if one knows the
factors influencing job satisfaction then only remedial procedures
can be undertaken to improve satisfaction towards job and reduce

India's fragile foreign policy towards neighbouring nations/
Shibdas Bhattacharjee--New Delhi: Overseas Press (India), 2017
This book approaches to perceive Indias foreign policy towards
the neighbouring nations where the criterion of judgment is
Indias strategic and diplomatic strengths as well as weaknesses.
The study unveils real state and actual strength of Indias sharing
land border with China, Pakistan, Myanmar, Nepal, Bhutan, and
Bangladesh, as well as Indias maritime interests and
relationships with nations like Sri Lanka and Maldives which
bears great significance and larger implications in safeguarding
Indias international border, territorial integrity and maritime
interests in different front and frontiers; North, Northeast,
Northwest and the South-coastal regions as well as the security of
the rest of the nation. The venture exposes the callous approach
of Indias foreign policy think-tank and the failure in articulating
definite policy towards the neighbouring nations and how these
have impacted New Delhis military and strategic interests in the
region and beyond.

Diaspora and second generation adaptation/ Poonam Daga--New
Delhi: Overseas Press (India), 2015
Expatriate writings cover the paradigms of the aloofness of
migrants on the strange land, their herculean efforts of
assimilation, adaptation and acculturation at various levels of
their living in a foreign land resulting into a distinct hybridised
identity. The first generation of immigrants often attempt to retain
their originality in the new land and in doing so they also
compel their off springs to do everything to preserve the native
culture thereby giving birth to double standards in their life.
Jhumpa Lahiri and Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni reflected through
their novels and short story collections the pathos of a split
identity which they had experienced in their own life.
Interpretation of vivid shades of immigrants personalities
through a variety of characters under various situations is the crux
of the world portrayed by Lahiri and Divakaruni. Considering the
characters of successive generations the reading evolves that the
confusion and losses diminish with the descending generation and
thus increase the acceptance for the adopted land. Racial
discrimination, generational clashes, distinct parenting and
relational disturbances are the issues that can be earmarked as the
problems confronted by the people of diasporas.

Mishra, R.K.
49252
Memorandum of understanding in India/ R.K. Mishra and Geeta
Potaraju--New Delhi: Academic Foundation, 2016
The authors observe that though the Government has delegated
financial and administrative powers to PEs (public enterprises) to
a great extent to provide considerable financial leverage for
taking prudent decisions, the result are not satisfactory. It has
been several decades since the MoU system has been introduced
in India in the hope of incentivizing performance, yet there are
considerable numbers of PEs which are languishing in the fair and
good category in terms of performance. Performance challenges
still exist in the public sector enterprises which are mainly due to
inadequate systems, processes, and latest technology. The focus
now is on making the PEs more efficient and competitive so that
they can face the stiff market competition. There is a clear
direction that has been set with the Performance Management
Division taking lead and rolling out the overarching PMS and
implementing RFD. The RFD system provides a comprehensive
framework of performance measurement and management for all
the government departments/ministries, to develop performance
plans in sync with the national priorities and programmes. With
the RFD system in place, it will give greater stability to the MoU
system and make it sustainable.

ensure that everyone, without discrimination, has access to
quality health services. The Right to Health: Theory and Practice
aims to discuss public health and human rights, with a specific
focus on the right to health. Health cases from developed and
developing countries are used to show how different fields
(health, ethics, law, and the right to health), broadly defined,
interact or can interact with one another to improve health
outcomes. It promotes the practical application of the right to

Education and development relationship in Punjab/ Maninder
Singh Sarkaria--Mumbai: Himalaya Publishing House, 2016
Education and development of a country go hand in hand and one
cannot exist without the other. Using secondary data on various
variables such as literacy rate, drop-out rate, number of teachers,
enrolment, pupil-teacher ratio, NSDP, per capita income, fertility
rate, population growth rate, incidence of poverty and
unemployment, etc. and primary data collected through survey of
1520 households from urban, semi-urban and rural habitations of
Punjab, the study has observed that expansion of education is
positively correlated with growth in NSDP as well as per capita
income. Educational progress is inversely related to poverty as
well as unemployment. There is a negative relationship between
educational growth and fertility rate, population growth rate and
child/infant mortality rate. Rise in the literacy rate has favourable
impact on life expectancy. The study strongly supports the view,
that the planners in the country should devote more resources to
education and they should refrain from applying cuts on
education budget.

Gender parity in education and employment: a global perspective
/ Shashi Bala--Noida: V.V Giri National Labour Institute, 2017
Gender based discrimination in education is both a cause and a
consequence of broader forms of gender inequality in society.
This book is divided into three sections. The first section reviews
gender parity in education and employment at global level and
discusses global initiatives undertaken for reducing gender
inequality. Gender inequality in education is examined in terms
of out-of-school children, total enrolment in different levels of
education, youth and adult literacy rate, gender parity index on
the basis of gross enrolment ratio, etc. for the world as whole.
Gender inequality is shown in different countries on the basis of
employment by education level. Section two reviews the gender
parity achieved in education and employment in India. After
giving historical view of educational development, it looks into
the major initiatives undertaken by different ministries and
organisations for education, employment and human
development. The study also suggests important policy and
programme concerns which will help close the gender gap in
education and employment.

perception of residents about the same gathered from four major
towns of the region i.e. Amritsar, Srinagar, Faridabad and Shimla.
Urban development in North-Western region of India comprising
Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and
Chandigarh is at cross roads. Urban development seems to be
neglected in urban policy planning over successful planning eras.
The onset of liberal regimes in promoting development of real
estate markets, beginning of low interest home loans, lack of
strong regulation of land and housing deals seems to have made
them the commodity for speculation. Housing problem seem to
acquire serious dimension in the wake of rapid urbanization,
commodification of land.

35 Understanding international counter terrorism: a professional's guide
to the operational art/ edited by A. Hunsicker--New Delhi: Overseas
Press (India), 2015
49259
This manual attempts to lay out a comprehensive strategy of how
to deal with a whole gamut of possible terrorist incidents. It
covers from bombing and hostage taking, to NBC (Nuclear,
Biological and Chemical) Terrorism, what needs to be done
before, during and after an event. This manual combines what
minimally needs to be understood about Operational Counter
Terrorism by the government-level policy maker, while at the
same time helping the personnel on the first responder level who
are planning to cope with what must at least initially seem like an
overwhelming attack. The author feels that the only way to
effectively deal with terrorism is to have a thorough
understanding of its present-day characteristics such as who is
involved and what weapons and tactics are the terrorists likely to
be using.

Caste identities and the ideology of exclusion: a post-script on the
humanization of Indian social life/ Sebastian Velassery and
Reena Patra--New Delhi: Overseas Press (India), 2016
The present study is purported to examine and understand the
Indian caste system as the unique ideology of exclusivist doctrine
which has its distinctive and continuous impact on Indian social,
political and cultural life. This study intends to re-look at the
humanization claims of the social and political activists of India
and argue that the existing conditions prevailing in this country,
despite having attained political freedom, is not conducive yet, to
achieve human freedom; the reason is that Indian society is
overshadowed with caste considerations and its metaphysical
trappings where an individual is recognised and accepted in terms
of his caste or ethnicity. This book explores the social, political,
economic and cultural contents of Dalit transformation and the
way such transformation has paved way for the resurgence of the
human spirit. A central element in the humanization debate in the
Indian context is the aspirations and struggles of the marginalised
masses (Dalits) for a new identity and humanity based on the
values of equality, social justice and human dignity.
