<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Indian education system, third largest of education system in the world comprises of Universities, Colleges, Technical institutions, Institutions of National importance etc. Choosing the right institution for academic activity is always a challenging job. In this context, ranking of Universities play a big role in shaping opinions of current potential students, parents, employers and government about the quality of educational institutions. National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), an initiative of MHRD is the ranking system of India to rank all institutions of higher education in India. The current framework of NIRF works on approved set of parameters and assigned weightage. We propose a user defined framework with our own set of parameters based on survey of national and international ranking system. Weightages are calculated (algorithm based) dynamically by registering the preferences of different stakeholders. A web-portal was developed to capture the responses of different stakeholders, calculate weightages and can be used to assign ranking to the universities on the basis of end-user preferences. The portal was tested by registering responses of school students, colleges students, faculties of universities and parents and calculating the weightages for each parameter run time. This paper presents our methodology ,results of data analytics of survey and performance of our algorithm in evaluating the weightages, importance of parameters and perception of stakeholders of institutes at various levels.</p>

AbstractWhat is distinctive or indistinctive about environmental education in schools and other formal education settings in India? In essence, what is thenessof environmental education in the Indian education system? Our responses to these important questions form the focus of this paper, shedding light on the historical, present and future directions (orness) of environmental education in India. In effect, we attempt to capture thenessof environmental education by considering practice, policy and research developments throughout the various contemporary and traditional environmental education movements. In so doing, we identify a theory-practice gap and a dire lack of research as some of the pertinent issues facing environmental education in India. In conclusion we discuss possible future directions that environmental education might take in addressing these issues.

The robust education system being the driving force of economic prosperity, the question that: What determines educational efficiency? is of special significance. The school education is efficient, if with the optimum use of resources, its students can achieve the maximum academic result. School education differs in terms of resources (inputs) and achievements (outputs). It is possible that school education system may have less input but still be more efficient and vice versa. Thus, the discrepancy between lower and higher performance of school education can be better analysed by efficiency scale rather than the usual performance-based evaluation. This paper applies Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for efficiency appraisal of Elementary School Education in Indian States/Union Territories using State Report Cards/Flash Statistics database of NUEPA and compares derived Efficiency (DEA) Scores and Performance (Educational Development Index-EDI) Scores to inquire whether better educational (EDI) performance does necessarily turn out to be efficient (DEA) performance

The Indian education system is perhaps the largest system in the world catering the need of millions of students of different socio-economic background. Education is globally acknowledged as the most powerful means of empowerment. Education is utmost important for every child irrespective of its gender. It is disheartening that, even in current modern scenario, some people are still against the education of the girl children. Every child has the right to receive elementary education however, Due to many factors girls are forced to leave school while others never have been provided an opportunity to enroll in schools. Among children not attending schools there are more girls than boys and among illiterate adults, there are more women than women. Many girls continue to dropout that adversely affects the efficiency of the education system and respective progressive expectations. The unfinished task in terms of un-enrolled and out-of-school girl child is the manor challenge. Rigorous and continuous efforts are required to bring and retain girl children under the purview of education system. The community and government schemes in this direction, can jointly play a vital role in bringing and retaining girl children to schools for primary and secondary education. To understand the problems and challenges faced by girls at elementary education level the author conducted a study in education zone Magam. The zone progressed significantly but still it has many areas of concern that are primarily responsible for un-fulfilment of the goals of universal literacy. There are number of problems which become hindrance in the way of education of girls but whatever the reason is if significant efforts were taken this problem can be then tackled easily. So, the authors hope that this study can help us to illuminate some of the complexities around education of the girls at elementary level and bring new insight to policy makers and educational practitioners.

Our Indian education system is such that we are taught a lot about history, long fought battles, wars, invaders and kings and rulers who died when and how.  In broader sense, history does not only about dates and battles, it associates and intersperses our past and present with social, cultural, religious and traditional discourses.  Our history spanning over thousand years guide our present and future. Indian writers have given their thoughts flying colors making our history unbelievably great.  They get inspired from our enormously vast past incidents and express them according to their views and idea.  There is no particular parameter which may define the history as fiction.  Indian mythological epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata have been described and redefined in numerous different ways.  India and Indian people have suffered a lot when British army ruled us for more than 200 years.  There were many brave patriots who fought for our independence.  One of such fighters is Rani Lakshmi Bai. This paper explores her life validating history through the novel, Rani.  This novel is written by Jaishree Misra.  Indian writers have explored the life and bravery of this amazingly courageous woman who redefined the womanhood and valor in her own way making a wave for the revolutionary fight for independence.

Abstract Implementation of demonstration method in the teaching of chemistry is assigned as the right strategy to improve students’ achievement as it is proved that the method can bring an abstract concept to reality in the class. The study is conducted to vocational high school students in SMKN1 Pargetteng getteng Sengkut Pakfak Barat at accademic year 2013. The teaching has been carried out three cycles on the teaching of chemistry topic of colloid system. In the study, the class is divided into two class, experiment class and control class. The demontration method is used to teach students in experimental class while the teaching in control class is conducted with lecture method. Both are evaluated by using multiple choise tests before and after the teaching procedures, and the ability of students to answer the problems are assigned as students’ achievements. The results showed that demonstration method improved students’ achievement in chemistry. The students in experimental class who are taughed with demonstration method (M=19.08±0.74) have higher achievements compare with control class (M=12.91±2.52), and both are significantly different (tcalculation 22.85 > ttable 1.66). The effectivity of demostration method in experimental class (97%) is found higer compare to conventional method in control class (91%).

Values are like seeds that sprout, become saplings, grow into trees and spread their branches all around. To be able to think right, to feel the right kind of emotions and to act in the desirable manner are the prime phases of personality development. Building up of values system starts with the individual, moves on to the family and community, reorienting systems, structures and institutions, spreading throughout the land and ultimately embracing the planet as a whole. The culture of inclusivity is particularly relevant and important in the context of our society, nation and making education a right for all children.
