Govarthini* and N.V. Amudha Devi** ABSTRACT The present study examined the efficacy of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) in assertiveness and social maturity among college students. One hundred (100) students participated in the study. They were assessed on Rathus Assertiveness Scale and Social Maturity Scale. Fifty two students were selected and exposed to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for a duration of 45minutes to 1hour every alternative day (week days) for a period of 2 weeks. After completion of 6 sessions, they were reassessed with the same two measures. The Cognitive Behaviour Therapy comprised of psycho- education, self-monitoring, cognitive rehearsal, role play/modeling, and homework assignments. Significant difference was seen on three phases i.e., Pre, Post and Follow-Up. Mean, S.D, Repeated Measures MANOVA was computed to analyze the data. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy was found to be effective in enhancing the level of assertiveness and social maturity among college students. Keywords: Assertiveness, Social Maturity, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). Assertiveness is an interpersonal communication skill that can be learned and practiced in an ongoing way.

Social Maturity permits more detailed perception of social environment which helps every human being to influence the social circumstances and develop stable patterns of social behavior. Hence, both assertiveness and social maturity plays a vital role throughout life. Therefore, it is

The very first Bank-financed project, the Damodar Valley Project, approved in 1954, was inspired by the TVA model, and aimed at building water infrastructure and institutions which would provide a springboard for economic growth and poverty reduction in a poor region. From the Bank’s perceptive this was (and would be today) an ideal project – it was a vehicle for bringing the best ideas from other countries and adapting them to India; it was a combination of infrastructure and institutional developments. There were very clear benefits. The project did finance infrastructure which has provided power, flood protection and irrigation services to the region. And the project was instrumental in the formation of the Damodar Valley Corporation in the 1950s. But there were failures, too. The DVC turned out to be quite different from the TVA, with states clawing back major activities and the DVC ending up as basically a power generation company with little responsibility for water management192. And there was no demonstration effect, with no other river basin organizations following the DVC model. (In fact not a single river basin authority has been established under the 1956 River Boards Act.) In many ways the Damodar Valley Project presaged half a century of Bank experience with water development and management in India, an experience in which the defining quality is the contrast between lofty aspirations and modest achievements.

A systematic exploration of western feminism & feministic theories underlines seven types of feminist thought that had also some impact on the women of emerging countries like India. These are: Liberal, Marxist, Socialist, Radical, Psychoanalytical, Existential and Post-modem feminism. It also brings out various socio- political, historical and economic factors that led to the emergence of new woman in 19th century.
