Corundum of semi precious gem variety occurs within the hydrothermally altered metaultramafites in the retrograde metamorphic terrain of kannur district along the north eastern part of kerala. Samples of semi-translucent to opaque nature with red to crimson red colour are studied through advanced spectroscopic techniques namely FTIR, Raman, Photoluminescence, UV-Visible and SEM-EDAX. Spectroscopic studies coupled with Geochemical perspective indicates the presence of considerable concentration of Cr2+ accompanied by more or less equal amounts of Ti2+, V2+ and Ga2+, along with other ions.

Gandhiji views education as playing a vital role in the reconstruction of Indian society. According to him, education is defined as a technique of transmitting civilization. The etymological meaning of education is to bring out inside to outside, to make inner capabilities of a man to be fully expressed. Accordingly, the function of education is to draw out rather than to put in. Education is the art of developing and enhancing the cultivation of various physical, mental and moral powers of the learner. It is taken as a process, not as a product.

Vietnam is a multi-ethnic country with 54 ethnic groups living together. In which, 38 ethnic groups have a population of over 10,000 people, 16 ethnic groups have a population of less than 10,000 people (very small ethnic groups). While ethnic groups with large populations mainly live in the midlands and plains, where living and production conditions are favorable; then mountainous areas, which account for nearly three-quarters of the country's natural area, are the main areas of residence for most ethnic minorities.
