Culturally and socially, marriage is considered as 'primary social institution' and every woman needs to be married in the society. Women who remain single, either by virtue of their situation or fate, are considered 'abnormal'.   Single women consist of several categories as unmarried, widow, separated and divorced.  It was found that the situation of 'other categories of single women' is slightly better when compared to the situation of 'unmarried women throughout their life', especially in the Indian context. They are treated as abnormal, as they failed to conform to the norm of marriage, and are also perceived to become 'problematic' in the society. There appear to be many reasons for women remaining unmarried, like family responsibility, financial constraints, high aspirations in spouse selection and also being career oriented. The present book provides insights on problems of the never married working women. This book attempts to explore and describe the demographic profile of never married women and the difficulties they face in their lives with regard to family relations and work context.  Also, the book throws light on the kind of treatment they get from family members, workplace and the society at large. The book also delves on the levels of their life satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and perceptions on their status in the society.

Sun Tzu, the Chinese military strategist, cautions that one must know ourselves, our enemy and our battlespace. Social Media delivers on all three. The Internet has become a new battlefield in ways that blur the line between war and peace.

Social media today is an quintessential part of our life. It is rapidly growing in popularity and proliferating at an alarming pace. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and WhatsApp have grown into very powerful tools with tremendous impact on daily life and routine. These platforms have the power to influence minds and shape perceptions. Governments and armies around the world are exploring possibilities of adopting it as a strategic weapon. Social media platforms are finding use as tools of Information Operations, Perception Management, Psychological Operations, and Cyber Warfare. It acts as a potent conduit for open source intelligence. Social Media is also emerging as an enabler in "Asymmetric warfare" through the exploitation of people's aspirations, differential development, religious beliefs, and cultural leanings. It has very high penetration levels and a large number of people are connected through sharing experiences, pictures, documents, and media.

Social media is deeply influencing the method of war fighting. It can influence the hearts and minds of a very large audience and may be termed as a weapon of mass instruction and disruption that can have tangible benefits for military planners. The cyber domain threatens regional and national security in ways that are uncommon in the other traditional domains of land, sea, air, and space. Within the traditional domains, these types of actions are relatively recognizable and easier to classify as acts of war, but in cyberspace the underlying intent and attribution of a cyber attack are difficult to discern. Successful social media operations may act as a powerful force multiplier for both conventional and cyber capabilities.

This book is an attempt to highlight the many facets of social media and its impact on contemporary wars/conflicts.

This study analyses the impact of Multi Product SEZs on employment, and export performance .The study focus on the problems faced by the Displaced Families due to the establishment of Multi Product SEZ, at Atchutapuram, with reference to their economic status before and after their displacement. The study examines the utilization pattern of compensation owing to displaced families of Multi Product SEZ, Atchutapuram. The study estimates the determinants of affected person's satisfactory levels of the Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy benefits among the selected sample households.

In this study, the adverse effects of SEZ displaced families are identified and arranged in the descending order of endorsement which include loss of land, public purpose of private commercial ventures is questionable, people without nonfarm skills suffered a lot, grave inadequacy of package of compensation, replacement of farming with private industrial enclaves, disruption to traditional rural life, fragmentation of holdings, growth of real estate business, resettlement and rehabilitation are far from satisfaction, vulnerable sections are further marginalized, loss of livelihood opportunities, diversion of huge amount of water to SEZ threatened food security, forced acquisition of land, women are forced to work more, loss of non-land assets, unemployment for a long period led to severe poverty, the promise of job is the most disappointment, employment is short lived, distress sale of movable assets, speculation in property markets, land reforms in reverse, low work participation rate, purchasing power has gone down due to increase in land prices, out migration, loss of livelihood due to loss of pastures, rate of compensation was uneven across different social categories and occupational shift.

Ultimately the study suggests that SEZ displaced families must be treated as stakeholders rather than as beneficiaries of the program. Social tensions in SEZ areas must be minimized by well attending the interests of SEZ displaced families. The Financial development of the SEZ displaced families must be aimed at through the means of compensation packages offered by the SEZs and Priority should be given for employment of SEZ displaced families with the contractors, as they have lost their land, the principal source of their livelihood.

More sincere efforts are required to save the agricultural land of the periphery villages from contamination due to deposition of fly ash or spread of polluted water of the factory into their land. Immediate compensation may be given to people who suffer from loss of crops due to ecological hazards caused by the factory and death of animals by drinking polluted water. In order to promote skill among the SEZ displaced families Government as well as the SEZ Authorities should make provision of institutional training facilities with the provision of credit facility on easy terms for the same. The Government should come forward with programmes like employment guarantee Scheme or any other wage-employment or self-employment schemes to enable the poor SEZ displaced families at least few days of employment for their sustenance. 'In order to provide gender justice with respect to rehabilitation, proper steps should be taken, so that it could strengthen the right to livelihood and survival of women folk. For this purpose, the gender sensitive data of impacts of displacement and resettlement should be analyzed and corrective measures should be adopted.

AWARENESS, ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

Education is widely valued not only for its intrinsic value in enriching the lives of individuals but also for its functional value in the development of the human capital of a nation. Educational investments in children have been shown to have high private and social returns. The private returns are associated with increased productivity and earnings in adulthood, and with further non-pecuniary gains arising from the greater efficiency with which educated individuals are able to acquire and process information (Rosenzweig,1995). The social premium to education over and above the private value includes further productivity increases arising from knowledge spill over, gains in health for one generation that flow from gains in education for the previous, and the improved functioning of civic society and democracy. Thus, widespread education not only helps growth through productivity effects, but is also crucial to distribution of the gains from growth.

PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS OF TRIBAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EDUCATION

The book 'Problems and Prospects of Tribal Elementary School Education' is an attempt to focus on the crucial problems and prospects relating to school matters at tribal elementary school level.  An attempt has also been made to enquire into the nature and extent of community participation in school affairs at elementary level. This book helps researchers, educational policy makers and planners to emphasize how developing positive attitude towards stakeholders' participation in school matters and engaging them in school affairs is really essential. Besides, it helps to create awareness on parents/community members how their active participation in school matters is vital for the success of their children's schooling.  Therefore, educational policy makers and administrators must initiate plans for the active involvement of parents and community members in all the school related activities. Policy makers should also help the community in awareness creation and then developing a positive attitude that there should be a symbiotic relation between the community and school for enhancing children's learning in elementary schools.
