Data were collected from all available EVS students in these schools and research sample comprised of 504 students. The division of EVS and non-EVS students was 252 and 252. For academic achievement, 8th class result announced by Punjab Examination Commission (PEC) in 2012 was considered. Social skills like cooperation, assertion, flexibility, interpersonal skills, and self control were measured through a self developed rating scale named as Rabbani Social Skills Rating Scale (RSSRS). The instrument was close ended consisted of 35 Likert type statements on four point scale as (1 = never, 2 = occasionally, 3 = often and 4 = very often). The instrument was administered in class room situation. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The results of the study showed that non EVS students were academically better as compared to their EVS counterparts. However EVS students showed continuous improvement in the academic as well as in social skills as they progress from class 6th to class 8th. The study showed that there is strong positive relationship between academic achievement and social skills both for EVS and non-EVS students. It was recommended that Government should increase the budget allocation to promote EVS programs and Punjab Education Foundation should make further efforts to improve the quality of instruction in EVS program in order to better address the educational and social needs of EVS students. The government should make certain arrangement to improve the parent education level.

The negative effects of media are seen in terms of media changing the people’s outlook on life. Media have changed the cultural and moral values of society. A majority of the audiences believe in what is depicted by the media. The negative effects of media in particular on children are manifested in terms of their changing mental set-up and the declining quality of their lifestyle. The media that is easily accessible to even small children exposes them to things they need not know and will not understand. This article explains deeply about the Negative effects of media on Society.

Effect of Family Control on Firm Value and Financial Performance Evidence From Non-Financial

Effect of Family Control on Firm Value and Financial Performance (Evidence From Non-Financial Sector of Pakistan) This study is conducted to analyze the relationship of Ownership Structure with Firm Performance in non- financial companies listed at Karachi Stock Exchange during the period 2008 to 2013. The basic focus in this study was related to the performance of family firms as compared to non-family firms. The distinction between both types have been explained in literature review with the help of definitions given by different authors and scholars. Keeping in view the research aims and objectives the researcher has taken non-financial sector of Pakistan as population/ unit of analysis. Afterward, the researcher has adopted simple random sampling technique in accordance to research requirements and extracted a sample of 120 firms for analysis purpose. All these firms are listed on Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE). Tobin's Q, ROA and ROE have been used as a proxy variable to explore the firm value and firm's financial performance. The researcher has incorporated 8 independent variables i.e. firm type (family/ non-family), ownership concentration, founder/ descendent firm, age, size, growth, leverage, and interest coverage ratio. Sophisticated data analysis techniques such as descriptive, correlational, panel data regression analysis have been used. Panel Data technique has also been employed to identify the significant relationships among the variables. Results showed that Family firms are negatively correlated and Non-Family firms gives better performance. Whereas Concentrated Ownership has shown significant relationship but negative correlation with proxy variables (ROA = -0.1627; ROE = -0.0381; Tobin's Q = -0.0938). On the basis of results obtained through data analysis it is concluded that Firm Performance critically depends on Managerial Ownership. Panel data analysis has shown that firm leverage and size has no relationship with proxy variables while remaining independent variables have significant relationship with performance variables. Agency problems arise due to increase in Managerial Shareholdings in Pakistani context, which ultimately affects the performance of the firms.
