The article outlines four generations of theorizing and research on work and learning within the Finnish school of activity theory. The main focus of the paper is on the evolution of the unit of analysis through the four generations, from mediated action to a collective activity system, to multipleinterconnected activity systems, and most recently to heterogenous work coalitions aimed at resolving wicked societal problems. We examine how learning and agency are conceptualized in each generation, and what kinds of interventions are conducted in the projects presented as examples of the four generations. We conclude that the four generations of activitytheoretical studies of work and learning continue to co-exist. To meet the challenges of work in today's world, activity theory must seriously engage in the development of its fourth generation, building on ideas and instruments developed by the preceding generations.

• 15. Personal Observation The Rohini District Court started functioning on February 2006 and is much modern in its infrastructure. Every court room is properly furnished and air-conditioned. There were seats for the visitors for the open trial. The District Court is built in the area measuring 75,000 sq. yards upto fifth storey. It consists of 56 courts and various branches which include one Library, Delhi Legal Aid Services (DLAS) Office, Mediation Centre, one Copying Agency, Record Room, Office of Bar Association, Nazarat Branch, Conference Hall, Administration Branch, Bail Section, RTI Cell, Computer Branch, ACMM Office, Account Branch, ACJ Office and various other Branches and Lawyers Chambers. Different court rooms were dealing with different types of cases. In some court room only cases related to rape were being tried while in some court room only cases related to NDPS Act were being tried and so on. There was a police officer at the entrance of the court room without whose permission nobody was allowed to enter the court room. The people concerned with their cases were waiting outside the court room and the police officer was making call to them. Every accused person was taken to the magistrate by a police officer. There were seats outside the court room also for the people. The atmosphere inside the court room was quite and calm. Everyone was doing his duty quietly. Nobody was allowed to talk on phone in front of the magistrate. Everybody has to pay due respect to the judge while entering the court room. The steno of the judge was maintaining the orders of the judge. The reader to the judge was maintaining all the case files of the cases being heard in the court and was prompting the judge with the various cases and other documents. The naibcourt was maintaining the attendance register for the witnesses and the accused and assisting the reader with the maintenance of case file.
• 16. Critical Analysis “Justice delayed is justice denied” The first and the foremost problem that is being faced by the Indian judiciary are of speedy and fair trials. Almost all the cases that were being tried in our court room were being adjourned either due to lack of proper investigation or lack of witnesses/proofs or on the appeal of the lawyers. In my three day visit to the Rohini District Court, the judgement was pronounced by the judge in only a few cases. This has led to increase in burden over judiciary. Thus, there is an urgent need to look upon this problem. Another major problem that I observed inside the court room was of the hostility of the witnesses. The witnesses were changing their statements at the last moment. This is another important factor that leads to delay in giving justice. A few people were fighting inside the district court complex regarding their case and were abusing each other. No appropriate steps were taken by the security guards to stop these fights. There was negligence in security at the entrance gate of the district court complex. Some people were entering the court without the security check of their belongings and the security officer was not taking the note of the same. No proper parking management system was there outside the district court complex which was creating problem for the nearby residents. Moreover this was creating traffic problem also. The walls of the court complex had the marks of tobacco spits and no penalty was being imposed on the culprits.
• 17. SUGGESTION S Though the judiciary is doing its best in establishing a true democracy, it needs some reforms also:  There should not be much delay in giving the judgements of the cases as this leads to increase in burden over the work of judiciary. The investigation agency i.e. the police and the prosecution play an important role in this. They must do their work sincerely and timely to curb this problem.  Strikes by the prosecution should be avoided so that speedy trails can be done.  Security department should do its duty properly as court complex is of great importance.  Parking system outside the court complex should be managed properly either by MCD or some private player.  No doubt that was complete silence inside the court room and everybody was paying due respect to the judge but the same should be followed outside the court room by the litigants in order to maintain a peaceful environment.  Encourage alternative dispute redressal system to resolve the petty disputes, family disputes etc. to decrease the workload of the judiciary.
