1. Right To Health And Medical Negligence Liability : A Review Of Judicial Approach
Bhagyashree A. Deshpande
Right to Health is not included directly as a fundamental right. But according to judicial interpretation, right to health is a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution of India as it is an integral part of right to life. Directive Principle under Article 47 states the right to health and the Indian Judiciary had successfully brought the said right within an ambit of fundamental rights.
Medical profession is considered as noble profession and the doctor is bound to save a precious life of patient. The doctor patient relationship is a based on mutual trust and faith. It is fiduciary relationship. But now-a-days this relationship is getting deteriorated considerably. There are various reasons responsible for this thing such as communication gap between doctor and patient, commercialization of medical services, economic thrust of doctor, greediness of doctor to earn money through cut practice, negligence from the side of medical practitioner, raised expectations from medical practitioners, increased consumer awareness and like that. Negligence means a lack of proper care in doing something. Medical negligence is the negligence from the side of the doctor / medical practitioner. It is negligent treatment to a patient by medical professionals / practitioners. Public awareness for medical negligence is increasing day by day in Indian Society. Negligence is the theory of liability concerning allegations of medical malpractices. The Consumer Protection Act, 1986 (C.P. Act) covers the solution of various problems related to medical negligence and safeguards the rights of the patients. Medical negligence means, negligence resulting from the failure on the part of the medical practitioner to act in accordance with medical standards in practice which are being practiced by an ordinarily reasonable, prudent and competent person practicing the same profession. There are so many examples of medical negligence such as commission of illegal acts beyond the scope of duty of medical practitioner, recklessness in abortion cases, prolongation of anesthesia, failure of eye surgery resulted into complete (total) blindness and like that. According to Charaks Oath (1000 B.C.) and Hippocratic Oath (460 B.C.), medical profession is a sacred profession. Doctors are second God of our life. They are deal with the life of human being and health protection of the patients. “…Heath will finally be seen not as a blessing to be wished for, but as a human right to be fought for…”.

2. Literature: A Powerful Tool for Developing Environmental Sense
Satyendra B. Gadpayale
Literature has always played a vital role in developing environmental sense and creating awarenessin society for Nature and environment.
From the very ancient Epics like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Shivapurana or Krishnaleela, we find rich descriptions related to Nature and natural beauty. The description of God Shankar sitting on Kailas mountain with Nandi (Calf) by his side; a large snake around his neck and river Ganga flowing out through his top of the head or God Krishna playing on his flute; a peacocks feather in his hair; grazing his cows in forest; all these put forth the great company and correlation of Nature and man. The great poet Kalidasa in ancient India had also brought vivid description of Nature in his famous poetic drama ‘Meghdoot’.
3. Bharata’s Pathetic Sentiment And ‘Macbeth’
Anuru Mishra
Bharata, the compiler of the Nayasastra and the first exponent of the aphorisms of sentiment,describes various types of sentiment thoroughly in the Nayasastra. Nothing is known certainly either of Bharata or of his date. However, scholars1 like P. V. Kane, S. K. De, A. B. Keith etc. placed the date of the Nayasastra between 300 A. D. – 550 A.D. Bharata’s theory of the sentiments has become a milestone for the scholars of the ancient andmodern. From Kohala to Jagannath Pandit, all are the admirer of Bharata’s Rasasutra. Bharata’s sixth chapterdescribes eight types of the sentiments (rasa), as erotic (sgara), laughter (hasya), pathetic (karua), furious(raudra), heroic (vira), terrible (bhayanaka), odious (vibhatsa) and marvellous (adbhuta). These above sentiments areoriginated from their respective permanent states (sthayibhava) as love (rati), mirth (hasa), sorrow (soka), anger (krodha), courage (utsaha), fear (bhaya), aversion (jugupsa) and wonder (vismaya).2 Some editions of the Nayasastra (like GOS)3 add one more sentiment, i.e. tranquility (santa), of which the permanent state is tranquility (sama).
4. Depreciation Of Rupees & Its Impact On Indian Economy
Prof. Mahesh Gaikwad
India got freedom from British rule on Aug 15, 1947. At that time the Indian rupee was linked to the British pound and its value was at par with the American dollar. There was no foreign borrowing on India’s balance sheet.The Indian Rupee has depreciated significantly against the US Dollar marking a new risk for Indian economy. Grim global economic outlook along with high inflation, widening current account deficit and FII outflows have contributed to this fall. RBI has responded with timely interventions by selling dollars intermittently. But in times of global uncertainty, investors prefer USD as a safe haven. To attract investments, RBI can ease capital controls by increasing the FII limit on investment in government and corporate debt instruments and introduce higher ceilings in ECB’s.Government can create a stable political and economic environment. However, a lot depends on the Global economic outlook and the future of Eurozone which will determine the future of INR.

7. Information Literacy Programme In Libraries
Tajanne M.D
Today is the era of information explosion. The beginning of the 21st century has been called the Information Age cause of the explosion of information resources. It has become increasingly clear that students cannot learn everything they need to know about their field of study in a few years of college. Information literacy equips them with the critical skills necessary to become independent learners. Too often we assume that as students write research papers and read textbooks they are gaining sufficient Information Literacy skills. This is not so. Information
Literacy skills may be introduced but what is needed is a parallel curriculum in Information Literacy forming a strong foundation of a college education.

9. Indian Classical Music Its Tradition And Importance Of Institutional Education
Swarnamoy Chakraborty
The classical music of Indian Subcontinent has a rich history of thousands of years. But its exact origin can not be authentically traced. Historians of Indian classical music maintain that this music has evolved from the cultural practices of people of antiquity, who used to depend on hunting and, later, agriculture for subsistence and survival. Our ancestral original artist of music in those eras of the remote legendary past used to experience communion with nature and from their communing with various harmonic sounds of surrounding natural, such as the sweet twitting of birds, the rustle of leaves, the ripples of rivers and streams, they devised musical notes and compositions. Nature played the role of guide and structure for them. They extracted harmonics from the wealth of sound of nature.
10. Female Protest And Assertion Of Self In Githa Hariharan’s –The Thousand Faces Of Night
Varsha Vaidya Manjusha Thakre
The concept of self is a brooding concern for many modern women writers. Githa Hariharan, a postmodern feminist writer, voices the same concern in her first novel The Thousand Faces of Night. In the patriarchal system, the identity of woman is that which defines her relation to a male. Either she is a daughter, wife or his child’s mother. She does not have her own independent identity. Now, slowly women have begun to move towards self perception and self expression, not entirely against tradition but within family binding. Hariharan’s The Thousand Faces of Night is a sensitive saga of women struggling to survive in a world of shattered dreams. It is a story of Devi, the protagonist and her desperate search for identity in the traditional Hindu society. Intermingled with Devi’s search is the search of Mayamma, the old caretaker
and Devi’s mother Sita.
