There is no doubt that social media has gained wider acceptability and usability. It is also becoming the most important communication tool among students, especially, at the higher level of educational pursuit. Social media is viewed as having bridged the gap in communication. Among the social media, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and others are gaining popularity. Herein, with this paper, the researcher is focusing on the impact of WhatsApp on the college students. WhatsApp and other social networking sites are seen as 'Global Consumer Phenomenon' with an exponential rise in usage, within the last few years. Therefore, this study is intended to provide insight into emerging phenomenon of addiction to WhatsApp. The findings indicate that extroverts appear to use WhatsApp for social enhancement, whereas introverts use it for social compensation. Negative correlates of WhatsApp usage include decrease in real life social community participation and academic achievements as well as relationship problems, each of which may be indicative of potential addiction.Full Text

Most of the public is aware that use of public transport is better for environment and also cost beneficial. However, number of privately owned vehicles has been on continuous rise. Therefore, detailed benefits as well as setbacks of privately owned vehicle and PMPML buses are analyzed in order to study public opinion on preferred mode of local transport in the areas of PMC and PCMC. Public opinion about what steps and improvisations in PMPML would shift the demand towards public transit is also studied. Also, efforts already taken by PMPML in order to popularize public transit have been studied. A detailed study of the recently implemented BRT system has been done in this research paper.Keywords
