Tourism has grown exponentially in the 21st century and continues to be one of the rapidly growing industries in the world in terms of revenue generation and employment opportunities. It covers not only travel services and boarding-lodging activities but a wide range of independent but related sectors like transport, accommodation, food and beverage, and entertainment, among others. Modern tourism is diversified and includes several odd types of tourism, like slum tourism, dark tourism, and sex tourism. This paper analyzes the case of slum tourism to Dharavi, India’s commercial capital and largest city as well as the benefits and disadvantages that such kind of tourism has. It also attempts to understand the opinion of the common people and slum dwellers on slum tourism, while observing if the ten principles of the “Global Code of Ethics for Tourism” (GCET) have been fulfilled in the country. The results show that overall, the principles of GCET are fulfilled but much is still left to be done. On the other side, most of the slum residents accept slum tourism as a reality that brings more benefits than damage to their living environment and are of the opinion that tourism brings prosperity to them and to the country.

In India, family members are preferred as the caregivers for persons with mental illness as there are extremely limited alternative facilities. Patients with mental illness need assistance or supervision in almost all of their activities which often places a major burden on their caregivers, thereby placing the caregiver at a great risk. The present study was done to understand the effects of age on the caregivers of patients with different psychological and psychiatric disorders. The total sample size of the study was 228. The data was collected from Gujarat with the help of Behaviour and Symptom Identification Scale-32. The results imply that there is no homogeneity between the variances with respect to the age groups. Also there is a significant variance of.004 between the life challenges over different age groups. People belonging to 51-60years of age face maximum challenges as opposite to people belonging to 31–40 years of age.

Consistent increase in the rate of psychosomatic and mental diseases and the feeling of dissatisfaction with life in general among majority of people in present day world very well reflects the ill consequences for high psychosocial stress being experienced by the present generation. In the recent years while on one hand the quality of life has increased on the other hand the stresses involved too have gone up. Stress thus becomes inevitable in life, and with increasing problems, aspirations and uncertainties associated with socio-economic, political and cultural upheavals, it is only likely to increase. Though analysis of data on the basis of these variables does not show any significant statistical difference on any of the role stressor which means that the groups of role occupants in the management education system find themselves struggling equally to meet the varied role demands. But on relative comparison the responses on the various dimensions can help in identifying possible stressors for college students which can eventually help in developing stress intervention programs for business school. Hence on the basis of the findings we shall discuss the various stressors and the possible associated factors that are presumed to be causing these.

Therefore looking at all these and many more of such issues the government needs to ensure that for the smooth functioning of the act and for the benefit to reach the much needed sections of the society, some more detailing and alterations in the act is required. The weaker section of the society who actually needs to get the benefit is hardly informed about the act and its provisions. Therefore a lot of effort needs to be made both on part of the government, NGOs and alert citizens to make the underprivileged people aware of their rights, the facilities and the services being provided. If we are looking towards an educated India we really need to put in a lot of effort to ensure that the benefits reach the needy and the target of being a literate country is achieved.
