Abstract:The present study was conducted with an objective to assess impact of integrated watershed development programme in Mizoram State of North East India. The study is based on primary and secondary data. Primary data was collected from a random sample of the beneficiary households selected in the watershed area. The sample size was 105 households of the 7 project villages. Equal numbers of households were selected from each watershed village on the basis of systematic random sampling. The survey was conducted during November 2010. This study employed both qualitative and quantitative methods approach for evaluating watershed projects. Author surveyed 7 watershed villages in Mizoram and collected socio-economic data from the watershed officials and primary stakeholders. Jhum cultivation causes serious land degradation and ecological problems in Mizoram. Integrated Wasteland Development Programme (IWDP) is carried out on watershed approach with a theme of land and water resource management. This study has examined its effect on sustainable development of natural resources, environment protection, and improvement of the socioeconomic conditions of the resource poor sections on participatory approach. Generally people in the watershed area are generously appreciated the watershed project because when we compare with other centrally sponsored schemes it is the only scheme reaching to the common poor people's door. They felt that if this scheme is implemented in a systematic and effective manner it will benefit the common people immensely and more productively. The project potential is very high. In order to realize this potential, it needs transparency and efficiency in implementation..

Title : Tat Responses on Achievement Motivation among Tribal and Non-Tribal College Students of Assam
Authors : Manidipa Baruah, Asha Devi
Abstract: The population of Assam comprises of various tribes with their varied customs and beliefs. The current research study investigates the motivational pattern viz. achievement motivation and the differentiating cultural elements prevalent among the Tribal and Non – Tribal college students of Assam residing in Guwahati city. The sample consisted of 240 college students (120 tribal and 120 non-tribal) ranging from18-24 years, 60 males and 60 females for both tribal's and non-tribal's. Attempts were made to include all the prominent tribes of Assam viz. Bodo Kachari, karbi, Miris, Lalung, Dimasa Kachari and Rabhas.. Thematic Apperception Test and a semi structured interview schedule were used to gather information about their family types, parental deprivation, parental relations, settlement pattern and ecology. Mean, Standard Deviation, and t-test were the statistical measures adopted in this 2x2 factorial design study. In addition to this discriminant analysis has been worked out to strengthen the predictive validity of the obtained data. Results from TAT scores reveal significant difference among the two cultures on achievement motivation. Tribals were found to have low achievement motivation as compared to non-tribal students. Further the study yielded an interesting finding that tribal females are high achievers as compared to males, whereas among non-tribal's males are high achievers. Discriminant analysis results depicts n-achievement as the potent factor which has the highest weight (.811) that resulted in determining the competence and skill of the non-tribal students over the tribal students.

Title : Wordsworth As A Humanitarian
Abstract: The sufferings and the oppression of the French people caused sorrow and concern in the heart of every sensitive soul in Europe. Wordsworth was one of the staunch supporters of the French Revolution. He had a close experience with the Revolution. But the tragic aftermath of the Reign of Terror and Napoleonic wars cooled his revolutionary zeal. Even though he never accepted political or social oppression, in the eyes of the radicals he became known as a traitor and an escapist. Wordsworth was not a traitor or an escapist. He was a humanitarian who throughout his life struggled for human welfare. This research article will study Wordsworth as a humanitarian.

Title : Human Rights, Health, Gender and Sexuality
Authors : Sri. Keshabanada Borah
Abstract:The role of women in the development of a nation is very important now a day. In the world half of the
populations are women. Women the mother of mankind pivot around the family, society and humanity itself
evolves. It is said that if a man is educated one person is educated but if a women is educated, the whole family
gets educated. Therefore for the survivability of the mankind and the world, the protection of the rights of the
women is utmost concern. But in today"s world where exploration of science and technology makes every thing
possible, women occupy a secondary position in every field of the society. Here a little attempt has been made
to examine the gender based discrimination among women and to provide some remedial measures so that
women"s right could be protected.

Title : Past & Present Crime, Violence, Migration In South Africa
Authors : Flourish Itulua-Abumere
Abstract: It is widely recognised that defining ethnicity is not always easy. Peach (1996) noted while birthplace is an unambiguous category, ethnic identity is more mercurial. Critically ethnicity is contextual rather than absolute. One may be Black in England, British in Germany, and European in Thailand. A person may be South African by descent but British by upbringing so that his or her census category might be either Black-African or Black Other. Thus ethnicity is a situational rather than an independent category. (Madge, 2001).
