Abstract :
The current instability and socio-economic problems that have afflicted Nigeria so far can be traced to the country’s flawed democratization and electoral processes. In it over five decades of independence, Nigeria is yet to witness an orderly and constitutional transition programme totally free from controversy. The country’s history of democratization and electoral process since 1923 till date is shrouded in utter controversy. Elections, which ordinarily should guide citizens to choose those who should be their leaders, have most times been abused by overzealous politicians who crave for power at all costs. This study therefore seeks to investigate the contradictions and challenges inherent in the politics of democratization and electoral process in Nigeria. Based on available evidence on Nigerian politics, this paper argues that the implementation of its electoral programme and the win at all syndrome of the politicians have made the enthronement of a virile and an enduring democracy in Nigeria almost impossible.

Abstract :
Cyber Revolution today seems to have an edge over Cultural Revolution in myriad ways. Life without technology appears like a dreary desert devoid of energy and vibrancies. The slavish nature of cyber world has necessitated everyone to keep pace with the changing world, leading us to depend on (genetically modified food, mineral water, iodized salt, pesticide-bred vegetables, and adulterated sweets) various means of artificial life. While cyber world has added colours to life, it is fast approaching as an identity marker where fiction takes over fact especially with the younger generation. The change of entire cultural outfit of the world has also transformed the epistemic realities of the pragmatic order by overhauling the crest of power politics. It is time for all of us as stakeholders to realize how we can keep pace with the changing realities and balance the topsy-turvy of the world linguistically, psychologically, without discouraging the advancing wings of technology, which has become a living reality.

The present paper deals with the problems that are encountered during English training of first year students in the Engineering colleges of Madhya Pradesh. The methods to infuse language skills at all levels have been discussed along with tools of communication in detail, to suit engineering students. For assessment of English competence, some established rubrics have been dealt superficially. Focus has been on integration of engineering education than considering Communication Skills as a part of engineering.

Abstract :
Constraint optimization problems are encountered in numerous applications. There are different areas like Engineering design, structural optimization, VLSI design, economics & allocation problem can be applicable constraint optimization problem approach. In this present paper we have developed advance solution approach through extended Saddle points, Lagrange multipliers and penalty methods for solving constrained-optimization problems. Here studies some new theorems have been stated and simple proofs have been given. The method can be directly used to solve practical problems.

Campuses across the country have become a fertile ground for fiction. After the turn of the IITs and the IIMs, the trend is now catching up in JNU. The young alumni of various colleges around the country are in the race to write the greatest Indian campus novel. These novels are a huge success among the alumni fraternity, college goers and those who wish to set foot in those campuses. They give a sense of déjà vu and are selling like hot cakes.

Abstract :
The Partition of India, which took place in August 1947 with the emergence of Independence, divided the country in two new nations i.e. India and Pakistan. This incidence devastated the life of innumerable people who were forced to migrate and even many of them lost their lives in the process. This horrific event is marked not only in the history of India and Pakistan but also in the world history. The communal fanaticism and frustration of losing their loved ones made the people forget their sense of humanity, compassion and love. Khuswant Singh has very aptly portrayed the psychology and the actual condition of the common people who suffered the havoc of Partition through his novel ‘Train to Pakistan’. The Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs who used to live with each other in brotherhood before Partition failed to have the same feelings of unity as well as harmony for each other during Partition. But at that time of chaos also there were some people who sacrificed their life to save the victims and proved that however strong the feeling of hatred is but it could never overpower love and humanity.

Abstract :
Recent development in nano –science have opened up new direction in chemistry to allow the synthesis of new nano-materials which could not be obtained by conventional means. This shows application in various fields. Nano particles have been used as a physical approach to alter and improve the effect in the properties of some types of synthetic chemical pesticides or in the production of bio-pesticides directly. This paper aims to study the use of nanopesticides in an eco-friendly way. The present paper examines the toxicity due to chemical pesticides within the environment and it discuss the type of toxicity possible. The paper also argues that the application of eco-friendly, pesticides and Nano- based pesticides should be feasible. It concludes that to minimize the hazardous effect of pesticides , attempt should be made to develop plant based pesticides as a safe alternative and for better result.

Abstract :
The first menstrual bleeding is known as Menarche. It marks the beginning of the reproductive phase in a woman"s life. It serves as an intermediate health outcome that affects the women"s wellbeing at later stages of life. It is also considered as an indicator of quality of life. This study was a cross sectional retrospective (i.e. recall) study carried out in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh India. Multistage sampling technique was used to identify the sampling units. The data was collected from adolescent students (aged 10-19 years) from grade 7-12. Adolescent girls born in U.P and experiencing menstruation were selected for the study. The study estimated the age at menarche. The estimated average age at menarche was 12.24 years ± 1.15 years (95% CI, 12.11 years -12.38 years). The menarche ages ranged between 10 and 12 years for about 49%, and between 13 and 14 years for 51%. It was seen that a maximum number of girls experiencing an earlier onset of menarche (between 10-12 years) belonged to middle socio-economic stratum. The results support the trend of lowering of age at menarche as one move from lower and middle, to higher economic group.
