The fundamentals of living are being learnt on none other than through the acquisition of language, and the widely developed literature universally. The introspection of the self and the retrospection only always create room for further development in any dimension in general and in ethical point of view in particular. The development of the universal culture solely depends up on the development of the language. This paper focuses on the how each and every stage of the evolution process is governed by the ethical values with a special reference to origination and sustenance of the Indian culture. For Indian life style, philosophy and for the nurturing of ethical values, the epics like Ramayana, Bharatha and Bhagavatam and various forms of literature like Upanishads, Aaranyakas have laid the corner stone, and given the continuous renaissance through their language with a splendid stature and enriched with affluent literature. This paper throws light on the systematic and conceptual analysis on the ethics and values through introspection and retrospection in the Indian literature and Indian culture with an underlying observation on the chronological impact on the value enrichment.

Road safety is an important aspect which requires immediate attention in transportation engineering. Use of safety indicators/surrogate safety measures for traffic safety in transportation engineering has been increasing day to day. Safety analysis can be done in two ways-reactive point of view and preventive point of view. Researchers are more interested in traffic safety analysis with preventive point of view than reactive point of view. Reactive approach needs significant number of detailed crash data analysis, crash frequency, etc., which are quite expensive and also errors can occur while collecting crash data like understanding of crash failure mechanism, manual error in recording crash data, etc. In developing countries like India, it is quite difficult and expensive to get large and reliable crash data base due to lack of funds and technology. One of the objectives of safety analysis in preventive point of view is to derive safety indicators/surrogate safety measures which help to understand and analyze the crash phenomena. Some surrogate safety measures which are frequently used are time to collision (TTC), deceleration rate, post encroachment time (PET), maximum speed, speed differential, merge area encroachments (freeway on ramp merging), variable driver reaction time, etc. In the past, various works on identification of safety indicators has been carried out for homogeneous and lane discipline traffic in developed countries. However, such studies for heterogeneous and no lane disciplined traffic which exists in India is missing. This motivates to identify the suitable safety indicator for Indian Traffic. Three parameters like longitudinal headway, lateral headway and percentage overlap will be evaluated as their use as safety indicator for Indian traffic. Due to heterogeneity and absence of lane discipline vehicle interact with other vehicles in its neighborhood not only in longitudinal direction but also in lateral direction. Using combination of safety indicators conflict event are evaluated. A relation between traffic flow (volume) and conflicts is proposed that is, when traffic flow increases conflicts also increase and vice versa. Data collected from real world traffic stream is evaluated in order to determine the conflicts.

A close ended questionnaire was sent to them out of which 50 could be collected back duly completed. The questionnaires were analyzed through graph. Findings-Through the analysed responses of the employees it could be found out that Performance Appraisal System in BSNL is not transparent, though the Appraisers are usually unbiased. Greater weight age is given to the recent performances. Although, there are fixed standards to evaluate the performance but those are not clear due to the subjectivity of the topic. Most of the employees want that 360 o feedback system should be introduced. Research limitations/implications-Due to time constraint and hectic schedule of BSNL employees sometimes it was difficult to interact with them. The respondents were reluctant while filling questionnaire, although they answered the question but the response was not very satisfactory.BSNL is a large Organization and more detailed study could have been done by having large sample size. Employees delayed in submitting the feedback form so it effected the time in compiling and analyzing data for findings and suggestions .Some information could not be revealed due to its highly confidential nature. Originality/value:-so many studies have been conducted to identify the satisfaction level of employees regarding performance appraisal throughout the country.
