Abstract
One of the basic truths in education is that the quality of education depends largely upon the quality of the teacher. Whether the teacher be seated at one end of the proverbial log with the student perched at other end-uncomfortable positions for both of them or whether the teacher is in the best equipped room of a most modern school: whether the teacher is at work with a small group of students or is on the television screen that is seen by tens of thousands. Whether the teacher is a person or whether the teacher is a programmed text-book; it is unlikely that the students will get a superior education unless the teacher is superior. Teacher’s effectiveness can be enhanced, but the most ingenious plans of inspired administrators and the best array of instructional devices are of little avail if the teacher is “ignored”, unskilled or indifferent. And what is teaching? Ah! There you have the worst paid and the best rewarded of all vocations. By mercenary standards teaching is poorly paid.

Abstract
If the problems faced by sugar cane growers are effectively and efficiently addressed, a big chunk of the problems faced by the sugar industry as a whole will have been addressed. Unfortunately some of the said problems remain unaddressed till date although remedies have always been at hand. Yet some problems remain unaddressed since finding a solution acceptable to all stakeholders of the sugar industry is not easy. Be that as it may, nothing prevents the government from helping the cane growers improve their bottom lines by accessing new strains of cane or for that matter from exposing the growers to superior cane harvesting technology. The researcher also concludes that cane pricing reforms cannot drag on for years. The reforms have to be finalised promptly and implemented effectively. Otherwise, the reforms will defeat the very purpose they are supposed to serve. Until the reforms are fully implemented, the government and the regulator will have to periodically initiate stop-gap measures perhaps to be replaced by another set of reforms. Completion of the sugar cane-pricing reforms will address the cyclical downturn in sugar prices. The most vital reform has to be the computation of sugar cane price in line with a revenue-linked formula. Announcement of state-advised price or SAP should precede the crushing operations. Unfortunately, the opposite happens most of the time, giving rise to avoidable uncertainties. Often Karnataka’s state-advised price (SAP) is far ahead of the fair and remunerative price (FRP) prescribed by the government of India. If the SAP differs widely from the FRP, one of the two must be true: either SAP has been computed erroneously or FRP has been computed unfairly. Given that FRP is worked out by a better equipped team – better equipped in terms of the inputs required for computing the price, it is obvious that the government of Karnataka has gone overboard in pricing the sugar cane in order to remain politically correct. Further, its stipulation that the price be paid upfront rubs salt into the sugar millers’ wound. A slight difference between SAP and FRP is understandable but a conspicuous difference is indicative of biased pricing on the part of the state government. It is necessary to reduce the idling sugar inventory by moderating sugar production without at the same time affecting the livelihood of the sugar cane growers. This can be ensured by actively promoting and incentivising the export of raw sugar.

Abstract
Micro finance is called as providing small finance to low income population, including people and self- employed who could not access banking services. Poverty is one of the major problems in a developing country like India. Its main objective is to enable the poor to have a permanent access to banking services, not just borrowing but also savings, insurance etc. Micro finance is generated with the belief that access to financial services will help to come out of poverty. The growth of micro finance is pushed by government and non-governmental organisations and it is expected to play a significant role in poverty alleviation and rural development. Hence, Government of India has taken very many steps to alleviate poverty and bridge the gap between rich and poor so that the poverty is eradicated and the standard of living of the poor will improve. In this paper, it argues that the contribution of Microfinance institutions in poverty alleviation strategy in Vellore district.It shows that both access to finance and provision of micro credit will enable the poor in the district to satisfy their basic consumption needs, manage their risks in a better way, can build their assets gradually and steadily, develop their small enterprises, develop their income earning capacity and improve their standard of living. Micro finance also can contribute to allocation of resources in an efficient manner, promote markets, and to adopt technology. Thus microfinance helps to improve the standard of living, quality of life and thereby promote economic development. Hence, this paper tries to assess the functioning of microfinance intuitions and the impact on the poor in terms of socio-economic development.

Abstract
Higher Education Institutions undergo fundamental changes due to globalization, growing competition for funding and staff as well as increasing institutional autonomy. These changes are linked to new responsibilities requiring greater managerial and leadership competences (Pellert 2007). In view of the fact that the investment for employees accounts for the largest share of institution expenditure, human resource is the most valuable asset of higher educational institutions and gains importance in university affairs (Evans & Chun 2012). The practices of human resource management like recruitment, selection, orientation, training, performance appraisal, compensation and retirement will take place in every Institution. Now-a- day’s even smaller organizations are having a separate HR department to bring the best of the employees. In this regard it is necessary to understand the effectiveness of HR practices on the employees’ performance. Starting from recruitment till retirement employees are passing through the various HR practices. In this regard it is important to know the level of impact of HR policies and practices. Observation, Interview and Questionnaires has been used for data collection. The initial understanding of the HRM was done with observation. The various policies and practices followed were analyzed through personal interviews of the HR executives. Finally the level of impact of HR policies and practices was examined with the help of structured questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed with the help of AMOS 7 & SPSS 22 (Statistical Package for Social Science). After checking the reliability and validity of the questionnaire statistical tools like descriptive statistics, correlation, regression, One-way ANOVA and Chi-square were used. This case study will definitely provide a platform to the organization to understand its employees’ opinion and suggestive improvement towards their HR policies and practices.

Abstract
The model is proposing to broadly manifest ideologically consistent thinking which currently seems missing in a large segment of the public on the surface "crystallized" ideology in the entire population may seem dangerously divisive and potentially explosive; but when ideological inclination (i.e. the balance of freedom and equality) is applied to concrete political situations in the making of actual decisions, the balance can be each time re-assessed, or for that matter, each time re-estate, given the leadership and circumstances of the given situation. The point here is that because of this re-casting of the ideological balance, with each judgment, any criticism of the model that would presume polarization falls into an "ecological fallacy". This fallacy suggests that there is great evidence that the vote from an aggregate perspective is remarkably stable; but the evidence is that approximately one in four change their vote. The perceived evidence for vote stability is only "circumstantial" (Brown, in conversation) because the individual volatility mostly cancels itself out giving the impression of stability. Any attempts at drawing conclusions about polarization then, too, misrepresents the complex nature of circumstance and the delicate nature of the personal balance between the two values of freedom and equality.
