Researches in learning of English as second language has seen many innovations in terms of development of the five skills of language learning, namely, Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing and Thinking. It is only after sufficient development of the first three, that proficiency in the last two skills of language learning can be achieved. If not in sequence, then at least simultaneously. In a revolutionary step, with regard to English language, the Government of Delhi in April 2000 introduced English as a second language from Class I in all of its schools. To implement its decision effectively, the government delved into the task of developing English textbooks and training its teachers on language content and pedagogy accordingly. The present study seeks to understand and assess the performance of VIII standard government school students in English language, post this decision. For this purpose, focus of the study was on assessment of writing skills among students of Class VIII studying in three government schools of the walled city area of Delhi. A Language proficiency test was developed and administered among the students to understand the proficiency attained in English.

Charles Dickens, the greatest English novelist of the Victorian Era, attempts to draw the attention of his readers with the theme of poverty, one of the central problems in some of his novels. Mulk Raj Anand, an eminent Indian writer in English, is notable for his depiction of the lives of the poorer castes in traditional Indian society in his novels. The present article aims at making a comparative study of the poor and oppressed people in the novel Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, and Untouchability by Mulk Raj Anand. The problem of poverty was very serious in English society of the late 19th century, and so Charles Dickens chose this theme as one of the central themes of some of his novels including Oliver Twist (1839). This novel represents the Victorian English society where the poverty is next to enormous wealth. Mulk Raj Anand’s debut novel Untouchability exposes the oppression, injustice, exploitation to the whole community of the outcastes in India. This novel covers the span of a decade from 1930 to 1940 when poverty, slavery and the inhuman exploitation of the masses were at the peak. Both the writers in their novels focus on the poor, suffering and wretchedness of the poor. The outcastes are exploited by almost all on the economic level too. To both the writers, exploitation of man is immoral and impermissible, particularly the poor and the illiterate. Both of them depict the lifestyle of the poor and the upper class.

Aabstract:The grant of financial from financial institution is basically similar to credit grant by bank, in consumer financial institution, assurance is necessary to assure that the debtor is able to fulfill his obligation according to the financial contract signed by the parties. Beside trust assurance, in financial contract, material assurance contract is also done in moving object in fiduciary contract. It is regulated in Fiduciary Act, as moving object assurance contract institution on the basis of trust, with the provision that the object which ownership is to be transferred, will still under the authority of the owner or debtor. The certificate of fiduciary is made in Indonesian in front of Notary, and in order to use publicity principle for the creditor as the fiduciary receiver then Fiduciary certificate must be registered in Fiduciary Registration office so that the fiduciary has executorial power, similar to the verdict with its legal power. Financial institution as creditor on its own authority can execute the assurance object of the consumer/debtor for paying the debt if there is some failure in fulfilling the contract from the debtor side. Fiduciary contract provides the owner with a preliminary right or preferential right. It is a fiduciary right receiver to take the payment of the debt on execution of the fiduciary object. This right will not be lost by bankruptcy or liquidation of the debtor.

The modern technological state aims at reconciling the conflict between the environmental values and the development goals by adopting the sustainable approach for economic development. Environment Impact Assessment process is an instrument in reconciling this conflict by implementing the concept of sustainable development as it ensures public participation in environmental decision making in India. It is a legal strategy which evaluates the potential beneficial and adverse impacts of development projects on the environment, taking into account environmental, social, cultural and aesthetic considerations. It determines the viability of a project. The present paper critically analyses the role and scope of the participation of people in environmental decision making in India with special reference to Environment Impact Assessment process in India.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the support system in effect to enhance the effective implementation of inclusive education. The trends of on job teachers‟ training, provision of peculiar educational inputs needed to implement inclusive education are examined. The study involved a sample of 44 teachers and 11 principals from 11 schools selected from three zones namely Wolaita, Sidama and Hadiya of southern regional state of Ethiopia. Questionnaire, interview, observation and document analysis techniques were used to collect the necessary data. The research target schools were selected as they are labeled as schools of high number of recorded student with special needs in the region. 11 teachers who teach in special unit classes were purposefully selected to be interviewed while 33 teachers who are teaching in the so called inclusive classes were randomly selected to fill questionnaires. School principals, interview participants, were selected by availability sampling. The data collected by these instruments was analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. As the research is intended to describe the support system available to implement inclusive education, it is designed to be descriptive survey. Descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage were used to analyze the data collected from the questioners and document analysis while the data from the interview and observation were analyzed qualitatively. The result of the study showed that teachers who teach in the so called “Inclusive classroom” do not get on job training throughout their teaching career life time while teachers of special unit classes received limited on job training but not enough to make them teach beyond “O” classes. Hence, teachers‟ and directors‟ perception towards offering inclusive education found to be distorted. It seems placing students with and without physical disabilities in a single classroom or teaching students with physical disabilities in separated classroom is perceived as the end of offering inclusive education among teachers and school principals. Overwhelming majority of the schools has no school structure responsible to special needs related issues. The schools strategic planning is not inclusive education oriented. The implementation of pedagogy is not supported by assistive technology to address the special learning needs of students with special needs. The overall limited support provided to the school dominantly comes from the neighboring special schools and the modalities of offering special needs education in schools is the replica of these nearby supporting special schools. As a result the kind of special unit classes arranged for students with physical disabilities are limited to special unit classes of deaf and blind students in Hadya and Wolaita zones respectively to replicate the deaf and blind supporting special schools in these zones.
