The study was conducted in four state agricultural universities of India viz., Punjab Agricultural University ( PAU), Ludhiana, Punjab (North), Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University (ANGRAU), Rajendra Nagar, Andhra Pradesh (South); Assam Agricultural University (AAU), Jorhat , Assam (East) and Maharana Pratap University of Agriculture and Technology (MPAU), Udaipur, Rajasthan (West) to study the perceptions of the faculty regarding the gap between the prevailing and expected organizational climate. The data collected from 216 faculty members revealed that the gap in the prevailing and expected organizational climate in the communication was perceived to be the highest and least in case of management of rewards and interpersonal relationship by the faculty. Significant gap between prevailing and expected climate in all the three dimensions of communication, management of rewards and interpersonal relationships can lead to future discord and affect the health of the selected organizations.Keywords

Advances in technology have caused vital changes in many domains of societal and individual life. No doubt that the internet has become a powerful tool for communication purposes, to exchange ideas and even useful to participate in local, national and international networking. Internet pattern focuses items such as profile of the students and place of accessing internet and time spent on accessing it. The main aim of the study was to examine the gender differences in internet usage pattern among male and female respondents of the university. Proportionate random sampling technique was used to draw a sample of 200 students representing male and female respondents. Questionnaire was used as a data collection tool and the results revealed that majority of the male respondents were accessing internet in the hostels while female students were accessing at home. The average time spent on using internet was found to be maximum in case of male respondents. The difference in time spent on accessing internet between both the genders was found significant while mean time of surfing internet at different places was found significant in case of college computer lab, university library and friends’ home. Male respondents were more active than their female counterpart on accessing internet so it is recommended that female respondents should be made aware about the facilities provided by the university and library resources and capacitated to use them.Keywords
