Parents are the most responsible persons in the upbringing of the children. Positive parenting supports a child to become good person and citizen. We always think seriously about the value-based education, formation and training given to the children to be effective citizens of the society. However, we think less of the formation and education given to the parents who have to mould the behaviour and character of the children. In the modern society where the challenges to family life are more, where the parents struggle to meet the expectations of the children, a parent should be equipped to handle the responsibility of parenting with proper knowledge, attitude, aptitude and skills. If so, parents need proper training and education. Mixed methodology is used for the study. The result of this study shows that majority of the parents do not have any orientation or training in preparation to their marital life or parental responsibility. Hence, the study comes out with the most important suggestion of need and importance of parenting education in the modern society.

Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible. (United Nations Human Rights, 2020). Sex workers’ rights encompass a variety of aims being pursued globally by individuals and organizations that specifically involve the human health, and labour of sex workers and their clients. This study draws upon the experience of sex workers in the field of “sex work as a job” and their understanding about Human Rights with reference to Amnesty International Policy. This case study tries to understand multiple and interjecting forms of discrimination and exclusion faced by sex workers, their views about “sex work” as job, their understanding of their rights to leave the job when they choose to, their perception on the need of decriminalizing sex work and the accessibility of sex workers with respect to judicial system and health care. The study was conducted in Trivandrum District, Kerala. The study reveals that sex workers are extremely harassed in the society and policies relating to human rights of sex workers exist but the implementation and knowledge about it is low.

Credit is essential for rural development, especially for farming sector. Financial requirements of the farming sector have increased tremendously over the last few decades due to the extended use of fertilizers, improved seeds and mechanization. Credit flows for rural economic development initially made through cooperative societies have contributed much to the improvement of the financial condition of agriculture and rural economy. Institutional credit has been viewed as an important instrument for serving rural development especially in the agricultural sector. The role of banking institution in rural development in India has undergone vast changes since the nationalization of major commercial banks. The study evaluated the economic effectiveness of rural credit among farmers in Kasaragod district. The analysis on agricultural production, income, standard of living, saving and investment of farmers before and after credit revealed the effectiveness of rural credit. The result shows that rural credit influenced agricultural production level, income, standard of living and saving of farmers effectively.

Present study is an attempt to assess the radioactivity level and thereby obtaining the radiological parameters in and around the Rajapuram cashew plantation, an endosulfan spread area, Kasaragod in order to understand the associated health risk to the residents of the area. The external gamma radiation survey has been carried out using a sensitive portable plastic scintillometer (UR-705). The radiological parameters viz. absorbed dose rate (D), annual effective dose rate (indoor & outdoor), and excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) were calculated, compared with the reported values elsewhere and possible conclusions are drawn. The values of radiological parameters are well within the permissible limits except the annual effective dose rate (indoor). The study clearly indicates that, the potential carcinogenic effects and the probability of occurrence of cancer to the inhabitance due to gamma radiation exposure is insignificant. The results of these systematic investigations are presented and discussed in detail in the manuscript.
