Human values can be arranged into a value system which ts "an enduring organization of beliefs concerning preferable modes of conduct or end states of existence along a continuum of relative importance" (Rokeach, 1973, p. 5). Teachers in India have the role of building the personality of today's youth. They need to display an ideal conduct which consists of an integrated value system so that they maintain their personal balance and integrity to deliver their duties sincerely. Hence, there is a need to study the value orientation of college teachers. The present study IS undertaken with the objective of understanding the value orientation of college teachers and their socio demographic correlates. A sample of 100 college teacher (male 50 and female 50) within the age range of 28 to 60 from Govt and private aided colleges of Northern Karnataka,i.e.,Hubli and Dharwad city areas are selected through purposive sampling technique. Rokeach's Value Survey developed by Rokeach in 1968 which consists of lists of 18 Terminal and 18 Instrumental values that are to be ranked based on the importance to the subject as a guiding principle of their life, was used to assess the value orientation of the sample. The results reveal that Most preferred terminal value s of college teachers are Health (Rank 1), A comfortable life (Rank 2) and National Security (Rank 3). Whereas the most preferred Instrumental values are Honest (Rank l) Ambitious (Rank 2) and Clean (Rank 3). Gender difference in both the values are studied and socio-demographic correlates are discussed. Implications are suggested.Keywords

Doctors working in government organizations have been contributing to the public against all odds amidst various types of stressors. There is a strong need to identify these stressors and understand their experiences in order to help them deal with it effectively. Hence, in the present study is an attempt is made to understand the level of stress and also to identify the specific personal and work related factors that may contribute to the occupational stress of Doctors. Occupational Stress Index (Srivastava & Singh, 1984) along with a Bio-data sheet (which includes the information related to other personal and work related factors) were administered on a sample of 100 Doctors. The sample consists of Doctors (M=60,F=40) within the age group of 30 to 60 years employed in government organizations in Hubli, Dharwad and Belgaum cities of Northern Karnataka. The scrutinized data was subjected to descriptive analysis and Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis using SPSS (9.0). descriptive statistics reveal moderate level of Ocuupational stress on 12 dimensions of OSI. Among the variables entered in the regression model-expressed Job satisfaction and Caste and religion have emerged as significant predictors of the occupational stress among doctors. Results are discussed in detail and the implications are suggested.Keywords

A study was conducted during 2019–20 to document the predominant tree species, biomass, carbon stock and sequestration of undisturbed natural forest lands (40 years) across the 18 mandals of the Vikarabad district (3386 sq. km area with 109,325 population) of Telangana state. Results revealed that the predominant tree species consisted of Eucalyptus grandis, Tectona grandis, Azadirachta indica and Ficus benghalensis. The highest total biomass, carbon stock and sequestration were registered with Eucalyptus grandis (179.08, 89.54 and 328.62 tonne ha–1 respectively) followed by Ficus benghalensis (140.66, 70.33 and 258.10 tonne ha–1 respectively) and Tamarindus indica (51.60, 25.80 and 94.68 tonne ha–1 respectively) and minimum with Pongamia pinnata (0.31, 0.15 and 0.57 tonne ha–1 respectively). Deviation in volume, carbon stock and sequestration was due to the variation in height, girth and biomass of individual tree species. The results identified the potent tree species with high C stocks and sequestration for regions with similar climates and useful for environmental education to the people for climate change mitigation.Keywords
