2	{tooltip}Stress Areas and Stress Factors for the School Head Masters{end-texte}Abstract – It is observed that modernization has changed life styles of human beings but at the same time, it is achieved at the personal cost. This cost is captured by a single word “stress”. There is no field where stressful events do not happen and there is no person who has not experienced any kind of stress, even lay people generally use the term stress to refer to various negative feelings. Now a day the situations in educational administration fields, particularly in secondary schools, are different for the headmasters, as the time has completely changed. The headmaster of secondary school is involved in variety of administrative and academic activities and programmes other than classroom teachings and school administration and the headmaster as an academician and administrator has now to manage the teaching more from a shrinking resource base and in the face of explosion of knowledge and skills not seen before. In the recent time expectations of management of the schools, students, parents and society have risen up and the headmasters at secondary schools have to show their performance in better way even under stressful situations. The investigator has made effective attempts through this research work to find out the areas creating stress and stress factors which directly or indirectly affect the school headmasters in particular and school education in general. School Headmasters Stress Inventory (SHSI) constructed and validated by the investigator was used for collecting data for the study. In the beginning the headmasters were asked to respond on stress information response sheet. With the help of the responses on this stress information response sheet investigator could identified stress area and stress factors for the school headmasters. Frequencies and percentage were calculated for selection of first two most stress creating stress factors from responses of 100 headmasters of the sample. As findings; (1) ten major area creating stress are: School management, School staff, Students, Parents, Government, School administration & management, Planning of school programmes, Professional, Society, and Personal development. Thus, it is required for the headmasters of secondary schools that to reduce stress they should keep more social relationship with all the stalk holders of the school like, students, parents, staff members, management, government officers, Nodal officers, etc. all the time. Even headmasters can reduce stress and increase their performance by keeping positive attitude towards life and practicing Yoga and Meditation regularly.{end-tooltip}	Dr. Girishkumar P. Raval

6	{tooltip}Energy Security in Africa and Role of Hydro Power in Zambezi River Basin{end-texte}Abstract – Energy security usually is defined as “reliable supplies at a reasonable price”. It is an important issue in modern era. Rising oil prices, increasing global energy consumption and concern for the environment has led to a renewed interest in alternative energy sources such as renewable energy. Renewable energy currently constitutes about 17% of the global energy mix with hydropower making about 90% of this. So in this context hydropower becomes a good option for providing energy security. The African Continent is endowed with enormous hydropower potential that needs to be harnessed. Despite this huge potential which is enough to meet all the electricity needs of the continent, only a small fraction has been exploited. This could be due to the major technical, financial and environmental challenges that need to be overcome for the development of this resource base. A total of almost 5,000 MW of hydropower has been developed in the Zambezi River Basin. Zambezi River Basin’s hydropower resources have the potential to significantly contribute to solving the region’s power problems. The resource is readily available and produces cheaper and cleaner electricity than other traditional resources such as coal and oil.{end-tooltip}	Anupam Kumar Singh

10	{tooltip}Effectiveness of Social Awareness Programme for Creating Excellence for Sustainable Development: A Case Study{end-texte}Abstract – The National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCFSE)-2000 also highlighted the need for including environmental concerns at all the levels of schooling. At the primary level, Environmental Education (EE) has been integrated suitably into social sciences, languages and science and technology. In 1986, the National Education Policy was declared. It stated: “There is a paramount need to create a consciousness of the environment. It must permeate all the ages and all the sections of society, beginning with the child. Environment consciousness should inform teaching in schools and colleges. This aspect will be integrated in the entire educational process.” Accordingly, the National Curriculum for Elementary and Secondary Education: A Framework-1988 presented the NCERT’s view: “The school curriculum should highlight the measures for protection and care of the environment, prevention of pollution and conservation of energy.” Environmental issues have attracted popular attention and it is felt that education has to respond appropriately to this urgent need of the time. Despite the initiatives, it has been felt that although a fair amount of information about the environment is being given through textbooks, it has not succeeded in generating a concern that may lead to effective action for conserving and further improving the environment. The present research work is dealt with different types of Social issues of human life and its effect on everyday life of residents. It would also be helpful not only to investigate the factors that have since long been affecting the ecosystem of the human kind. It will be also helpful to suggest remedial measures and programs to bring social awareness among the people to learn the art of living and to lead “Environmentally Sustainable” lives.{end-tooltip}	Dr. Hardikbhai D.
