2	{tooltip}An Experimental Study for Material Removal Rate in EDM Using Tool of Graphite, Copper & Silver{end-texte}Abstract – The electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of the latest non-traditional machining processes, based on thermoelectric energy between the workpiece and tool. The performance of the process, to a large extent, depends on the tool material, workpiece material & manufacturing method of the tool. A suitable selection of tool can reduce the cost of machining. The performance of EDM is find out on the basis of Material Removal Rate (MRR), Overcut (OC), Tool Wear Rate (TWR) and Surface Roughness (SR). The important machining parameters of EDM which affecting on the performance parameters are discharge current, pulse on time, pulse off time, arc gap, flushing pressure, voltage and duty cycle. Taguchi design of experiments is used to conduct experiments by varying the parameters current, pulse on time and pulse off time. The process performance is measured in terms of Material Removal Rate (MRR). In this research EDM experiment using Graphite, Copper & Silver tool & AISI 304 Stainless Steel workpiece has been done for optimizing MRR and reducing cost of manufacturing. Finally it is found that the copper tool is more suitable. In certain characteristics silver tool gives better performance but the cost becomes high for machining so keeping in mind cost and other some characteristics a graphite tool is more suitable than silver tool. The experimental results indicate that the current significantly affects the MRR followed by pulse on time & pulse off time.{end-tooltip}	Priyesh N. Santoki et al.

Amli Lift Irrigation cooperative was registered in year 1992. There are 100 percent tribal members in this irrigation cooperative. AKRSP (I) had completed the construction of lift irrigation project and started irrigation in year 2000. They had done series of trainings for the members of lift irrigation cooperative society for motivation. Last five years analysis shows that, irrigate an acre land average expenditure was Rs.1000. If any farmer wants to irrigate his land, he should be sure to get additional production worth Rs.1000 due to irrigation. Due to these development work there were positive impact seen at Amli village some them summarised: Increased area under irrigation from 10acres to 104 acres; Income increased per household: Rs.30, 600; Every month payment received for milk selling from milk cooperative: Rs.48,000; Amli lift irrigation cooperative proved that the lift irrigation can play important role in enhancing livelihood of tribal people. This successful example can be replicate and scale-up in tribal area of South Gujarat.{end-tooltip}	Umesh Desai

7	{tooltip}The Attitudes of B.Ed. Trainees towards Privatization in Teacher Education{end-texte}Abstract – There is no doubt that privatization will give quality education but it opposes a basic constitutional right i.e. right to equality. Because it will lead to upliftment of upper class or economically strong people. Poor student will continuously decline from main stream. The question that arises is that why cannot government provide free higher education? We are all aware of the fact that any individual who only had his primary education is not eligible for earning the bare minimum that is required for his or her survival. So researcher has decided to study the attitudes of parents towards Privatization of education.{end-tooltip}	Manisha Chaudhari
