Foreword
Dear Reader,
The world is never perfect and this is applicable to academic institutes because quality education is a
journey and not a destination, rather there are only commas but no full stop. The holistic development of
any institute in the higher education system needs full involvement of the faculty ranging from academic
to administrative activities. To make the institutes vibrant, the faculties are expected to go beyond that i.e.
in research and publication. As an old Chinese proverb says, “It is better to light a candle than to curse
the darkness-” All of us have heard suffocating details of the problems that plague the research
scenario in higher education system presently. But what is needed is a series of concentrated and
sustained steps to deal with these challenges for the creation of a culture of research. There is a positive
correlation with the value added by its education and research landscape. Such research adds to the
knowledgebase of society, contributingtosustainedgrowthmomentum.
A research publication alone is not sufficient, it is the adequate and appropriate dissemination
of knowledge through the research work published that will make a difference. Since the impact of
research and knowledge is best seen, when it is shared in diverse languages, both national &
international. Both through conferences and research publications, research findings need
encouragement for being debated before being disseminated. It is only when through discussions a
constructive feedback is provided, that the research quality can improve. Today, there are various
research journals published in every sphere of education, teacher education, technology, science,
sociology, psychology, philosophy, health sector, arts, etc. But how to know the quality of these research
journals there requires the journal citation factors. With this objective our college has added one more
feature in our multidisciplinary international peer reviewed journal. Initially, it was only with ISSN status,
gradually various features were added to the quality of journal. In 2014, the journal received an impact
th
factor score from Global Impact Factor, Australia and now with the journal's 14 consecutive
publication, we have been listed in the database of EBSCO, USA. We have eminent international
personalities on the Advisory Board and a prestigious team of subject experts. We, the Editorial Board
members take this opportunity to provide platform to researchers to continue contributing in our
esteemedpublication.
We express our heartfelt thanks to the Senior Editor,
International & Indian), the Editorial Review Board and the Managing Editorial Team for their relentless
efforts in making the journal meet its international standards. We congratulate the contributors of
papers/articles for passing throughthetestof Editorial ReviewBoard.

We are thankful to Shri Chandrasen Merchant for generously supporting us financially, for last
fourteen years. Without the moral support and active encouragement of the Managing Committee of
our college, it would not have been possible for our team to bring out such an intellectually enriching
publication. We specially thank our Managing Trustee and other members for being a constant source of
motivationfor us.
Dear Researchers, start preparing your research papers for the next year and submit them to us
by 28February, 2016.
With warm regards
Yours truly,
Dr. Harshada Rathod (Principal)

They are based on original work, academic rigour and relevant suggestions from
peer reviewers. In this issue there is a fine balance of empirical and theoretically
sound articles, literary critiques, macro-level trend analysis and micro level studies

We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the
more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more we are capable of
seeing.
