Introduction of malls has not been able to replace traditional markets, which are still popular among the pocket conscious people, but has definitely added a new adventure to the shopping experience. The retail sector will see over 34 million sq ft of shopping centre space by the year end, said the report on shopping centre development in India. ‘To the present generation, shopping means much more than a mere necessity and malls are now fast becoming image benchmarks for communities.’ Malls in India frequently open up with great fanfare; the glitzy stores, the ‘deals’ and the simple desire to spend some time in attractive (think novelties such as transparent lifts and escalators), climate controlled environs means that there is sufficient footfall to begin with. At the most, 20 percent malls delivering on the customer and financial counts, one can clearly say that the mall revolution has not been a grand success in India. Keeping the above observation, this paper attempts to focus on the evolution of mall culture in the research area (Mangalore City – Coastal District of Karnataka State) and focus will be on to study the new paradigm of ‘Mall Culture’ and about the evolution & negative trend of Mall Culture

Human trafficking is condemned as a violation of human rights by international conventions. Human trafficking is the illegal trade in human beings for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation or forced labor: a modern-day form of slavery. The word ‘trafficking’ includes the word ‘traffic’, which we often equate with transportation or travel. However, while the words look and sound alike, they do not hold the same meaning. Human trafficking does not require the physical movement of a person (but must entail the exploitation of the person for labor or commercial sex). Additionally, victims of human trafficking are not permitted to leave upon arrival at their destination. They are held against their will through acts of coercion and forced to work or provide services to the trafficker or others. The work or services may include anything from bonded or forced labor to commercialized sexual exploitation. The arrangement may be structured as a work contract, but with no or low payment or on terms which are highly exploitative. Sometimes the arrangement is structured as debt bondage, with the victim not being permitted or able to pay off the debt. This paper is based on a survey conducted among Trafficked Women (rescued) in Mysore city-India.

Today more than ever before, there is ‘gender amidst the scenario of concern’. That is because of the fact that despite centuries of feminist struggles, voices from the margin etc, the present era of neo-liberalism is not free from ‘contradictory’ practices by state and non-state actors as far as women’s issues are concerned. Schemes for women and girl child, and programmes for women entrepreneurship development cannot change the big picture: women are either victimised or caricatured. What is more alarming is that, many perceive feminism to be an outdated ideology at the most to be discussed by women only. This paper tries to relocate feminism in the context of both Millennium Development Goals and Sustainable Development Goals. Taking cue from the global recognition of women’s rights as human rights since 1993, human rights are essential for dignified human existence encompassing rights for fulfilling basic needs as well as for the development of human potential and personality. It is argued that if ‘empowerment’ has to be realised through education for women, then that education has to deal with human rights in general and women’s human rights in particular. In addition the paper also examines the status and rights of Indian women, with a glimpse into the future.

Today the needs and problems of the elderly are rejected to a vast extent and the matter is made worse as government classifies these people based on caste and other socio cultural dimensions. Therefore all the elderly are not seen in the same view. There are various other needs such as Biological, Social, Psycho- Emotional, Security needs and others. The elderly population in India has been rapidly rising. The cycle of age is catching up; the young country will be older in next few decades. The enhancement of medical facilities have pushed the average life expectancy increased to 68 years. In a country like India where elders are treated with utmost respect is now rapidly changing into a westernized world. The following descriptive study not only assesses the physical- psychological problems but also their needs. The sample size consists of 250 respondents above the age of 60.
