Analyzing the Likely Impact of Covid-19 on Education System

2024-08-06T07:18:53+00:00

This article has covered how Covid-19 has affected the Indian educational system. Global education systems are impacted by coronavirus. In order to stop the coronavirus from spreading, schools, colleges, and universities were closed. Parents, instructors, and kids all experience challenges when schools close. Thus, one way to keep the educational system going is through distance learning. Distance learning in developing nations is hampered by a shortage of computers, internet access, and network infrastructure. Upon reopening, educational institutions devise plans to make up for lost instruction and welcome back students. Not only has this face-to-face education system in developing nations been impacted by coronavirus. The infrastructures for virtual classrooms, online learning, and broadcast education should therefore be improved in developing nations.

THE EVOLUTION OF FEDERALISM IN ANCIENT WORLD

2024-08-06T07:23:51+00:00

This research paper delves into the evolution of federalism in the ancient world, tracing its origins and development across various civilizations. By examining various city-states, leagues, empires, and kingdoms of the ancient world, the study highlights the diverse manifestations and adaptations of federal principles in early societies.The analysis reveals that federalism, characterized by a division of power between central authorities and constituent units, was a recurring governance model, facilitating political stability and economic cooperation while preserving local autonomy. In Mesopotamia, early city-states and the Akkadian Empire exemplified nascent federal structures, while the biblical confederation of Israel's tribes offered a unique tribal form of federalism. The Greek Achaean League and the Persian Achaemenid Empire further demonstrated the effectiveness of federal systems in complex and expansive territories.In India the governance of the Mahajanapadas, Maurya, and Gupta Empires reflected federalist elements, balancing centralized authority with regional autonomy. The Maya civilization and the Axum kingdom provided additional global perspectives on early federalism.This paper contributes to understanding the foundational role of federalism in shaping ancient political landscapes and its enduring relevance in contemporary governance structures.

THE TRADITIONAL TECHNOLOGY OF EARTHEN POTTERY: A CASE STUDY OF OINAM VILLAGE, SENAPATI DISTRICT, MANIPUR.

2024-08-12T05:50:52+00:00

Oinam village is a Poumai Naga village situated at some 40 kilometers from Senapati District headquarter and 22 kilometers from national highway 39 at Maram town. It is located in the heart of Leopaona area surrounded by Thingba Khullen and Thingba Khunou in the west, Purul in the east, Khongdei and Ngamju in the north and Barak River in the south. Oinam village is located on a hillock with a sloping curve from north to south and east to west. The art of indigenous pottery making is called ‘Pouli’ in Poumai dialect, whereas in Oiname dialect it is popularly called as ‘Orae-La’. According to tradition, only the women folk engage in pottery making and men could only help the women folk in the process of collection of raw materials, firing pot, transportation and selling. Only the Oinam village women folk can practice pottery making. Women married to outsiders cannot practice the art of pottery making. Therefore, pottery making is solely confined within the territory of Oinam village.

In the early days many Naga tribes depended on the earthen wares produced by this village for utensils, to perform rites and rituals. A piece or whole part of earthen pot was used in the past in performing rites and rituals. It is an obligatory item that cannot be missed out. Oinam pottery

are wholly handmade without using potter’s wheel. The potteries are imprinted with unique designs known as “cord-marked”. The use of cord-marked design makes Oinam pottery unique and different from the ones made by other Naga communities. Oinam potteries are unglazed and were predominantly manufactured from three types of materials namely Dongae, Ngashung and Ngahei, which are mixed together in a ratio of 2:2:1. The potters and her family members collected the raw materials by walking 5-6 kilometers to a mine or pit and digging out and carrying back home with cane basket locally known as ‘Lao-Marei’. The black clay is known as Dongea. This black clay act as a glue to the two other types of clay. The two types of clay Ngashung (brown in colour) and Ngahei (red in colour) provided strength to the pottery.

Pottery is the main source of income for the artisans and the poorer section of the society. In early days, the neighbouring Naga villages come to this village and exchange the pot with other commodities. The craft is practice by women only. This craft plays a major role in the economic life of the poor section of the society. The Oinam village was once a commercial hub before the arrival of metal and steel utensils. Thus, pottery industry sustains the village economy in the past. In early days, the potters were respected and honoured in the Poumai society. However, with the introduction of Alunimium and steel utensils the use of earthen wares lost its importance and thus pose a threat to the potters’ source of income and livelihood.

THE TRADITIONAL TOOLS AND IMPLEMENTS USED IN MAKING POTTERY: A CASE STUDY OF LONGPI POTTERY.

2024-08-24T06:57:37+00:00

Longpi is a general reference to two villages (Longpi Kajui and Nungpi Khullen) in ukhrul district of the Indian state of Manipur. Longpi is about 36 kilometres north of ukhrul, connected by national highway 150. Longpi is surrounded by Sihai in the east, Lunghar in the south, Phungcham, paorei and Peh in the west and Kalhang and Kuirei in the north. Longpi is famous for age old traditional pottery known as Longpi ‘Ham-Pai’. One unique feature of longpi pottery is that the potters make pottery without using potter’s wheel. They still practice the traditional technique of pottery making. It is believed that Longpi Ham-Pai used to be the main cooking utensils and storing foodstuff even for the other neighboring Naga tribes such as the Chakhesang, and Marams before the advent of aluminium and steel pots. Longpi Ham is made from a mixed paste of ground black serpentine stone and a special brown clay. As claimed by the locals, the clay is native to only Longpi village. The black serpentine rock and brown clay are mixed in the ratio three: two if the clay is collected from inside the pit, but if the clay is collected from the ground the ratio is three: three. The mixture is made into a paste by adding water. The shaping of the pot has two steps, (a) shaping the upper portion and (b) shaping the base of the pottery. Depending on the size and design wanted, pots are formed using different techniques. At the time of mixing of the materials, the potters have to cautiously check the presence of other impurities in the paste as it would cause the pots to explode during firing. The following tools are used in the indigenous Longpi pottery. They are: (a) Sopkai, (b) Kapa, (c) Lung-Masam and Lung-Rar, (d) Shimkhur and Suk, (e) Hakha-Naya, (f) Lee-Khu, (g) Ham-Masham, (h) Ham-Khalao, (i) Ham-Matom, (j)Ham-Khalang, (k) Ham-Kapi, (l) Ham-Lel, and (m) Ham-Tadan.

At the time of firing, the potters used special tree leaves known as ‘Machi-Ni’. The shine of the pottery is produced by polishing with these leaves.

VOICES OF RESISTANCE: FEMALE AGENCY IN CHITRA BANERJEE’S THE OLEANDER GIRL

2024-08-29T06:58:02+00:00

This research paper aims to investigate acts of individual resistance by analyzing the behavioural tendencies of various characters in Chitra Banerjee's novel, Oleander Girl. A meticulous examination of certain characters reveals how they challenge the patriarchal hierarchy through indifference, stoic silence, anger, strategic compliance, and assertion. These acts of resistance can be either overt or covert. "declared acts of resistance" refers to actions and gestures demonstrating disagreement or disapproval of the established order in clear and specific terms. Conversely, "undeclared acts" are concealed methods of resistance that operate discreetly. In situations where open confrontation is neither feasible nor desirable, tacit opposition to authority is often preferred. It has been observed that characters in Divakaruni's work resort to such forms of resistance despite their seemingly non-combative nature.

The aim of this research paper is to create awareness of radiation exposure among all in the educational institutes and to suggest the need of framing a radiation safety curriculum or education program at education institutes, where students are learning and adopting the novel gadget and instruments etc. Providing the knowledge of radiation risks not only shows the risks of the radiation hazards but also develops the student's competency of decision making based on assessments.

The Geospatial and Temporal Dynamics of Agricultural Residue Burning: A Regional Study of Haryana, 2017-2023

2024-09-04T05:53:12+00:00

The Green Revolution has resulted in an unprecedented increase in Punjab and Haryana's agricultural production. The Green Revolution's impact extended beyond agricultural production, altering the cropping pattern of a semi-arid state such as Haryana, leading to the replacement of coarse grain crops with rice and wheat. Improved seeds and irrigation facilities contributed significantly to this crop pattern change. The minimum support price and available market for wheat and rice attracted farmers to grow rice and wheat in more and more areas. This sequential cropping patten of rice and wheat gave rise to the tradition of agricultural residues burning by farmers, which is currently causing severe air pollution in the months of November and December in northern India.By restricting the paddy crop cropping time through the Haryana Preservation of Subsoil Water Act, 2009, residues are being burned in the state. The present study focuses on identifying temporal pattern, trend, and hotspot of Haryana state where agricultural residues burning has been ongoing for years. This study utilized data from the MCD64A1 Version 6 Burned Area data product from the Terra and Aqua satellites. Satellite data from 2017 to 2023for the months of October and November, have been selected which correspond to the period after paddy crops and before wheat crops. District- and sub divisional level hotspots of agricultural residues have been identified using QGIS software.

A Spatial Analysis of Land-use Land cover Pattern of Haryana, 1985–2023, using Geoinformatics tools.

2024-09-04T05:56:30+00:00

Haryana is a small state in northern India that is making its mark in terms of economic development and increasing urbanization. The state's economy is transitioning from agriculture to industry, leading to a change in the state's land use and land cover. The dynamics of land use in a region are an indicator of economic change, but rapid land use change can affect environmental quality. Understanding land use and land cover is essential for determining policies related to sustainable regional development, land management, and environmental protection. This research paper employs modern geoinformation technology to analyse the land use and land cover changes in Haryana state from 1985 to 2023. This study has collected land use-related data from various satellite systems, such as Landsat 4 and 5, Sentinel-2 10 m regulation, IRS, LISS II and III, etc.The land use and land cover classes identified in different satellite data have been converted to the specific land use and land cover classes defined in the European Space Agency's Sentinel-2 data set, which has a resolution of 10 meters. The GIS software, QGIS, has processed all the data. Tables and maps represent the data presented in this study. The land use and land cover analysis of Haryana will help in making land use management and environmental protection decisions by providing an understanding of the magnitude of land use change.

2024-09-09T12:54:31+00:00

The North Eastern area of India is well-known for its rich cultural diversity, which encompasses the harmonious cohabitation of several ethnic groups, dialects, identities, and traditions. Conversely, there has been no shortage of communal bloodshed and ethnic conflicts in this area throughout its history. There have been periodic outbreaks of violence due to the complicated ethnic makeup and a history of animosity amongst groups; this has made maintaining peace and stabilizing the situation extremely difficult. This article explores potential solutions to the problem of communal violence in North East India that are based on ethnicity and looks at ways that people of different backgrounds might live in peace and unity. There are eight distinct states in North East India, each with its own rich history and distinct ethnic population. Nearly 200 distinct ethnic groups call this area home. Among them are the "Nagas, Kukis, Meiteis, Assamese, Bodos, and many more". Ethnicity is deeply embedded in these civilizations' cultural practices, social institutions, and language, and it significantly influences all three. An ingrained sense of connection and belonging is often the root cause of ethnically driven communal violence. People in a community often clash with one another when they feel their economic, cultural, linguistic, or identity rights are being infringed upon. Violence comes out as tensions rise, which can happen as a result of territorial disputes, old grudges, and competition for resources.

छात्रों की शैक्षिक आवश्यकताओं के लिए सूचना-प्राप्ति व्यवहार का अध्ययन

2024-09-10T04:50:29+00:00

छात्रों की शैक्षिक आवश्यकताओं के लिए सूचना-प्राप्ति व्यवहार एक महत्वपूर्ण विषय है जो आधुनिक शैक्षिक परिवेश में छात्रों के सीखने के तरीकों, आदतों और आवश्यकताओं का अध्ययन करता है। यह समझना महत्वपूर्ण है कि सूचना-प्राप्ति के इस व्यवहार को प्रभावित करने वाले विभिन्न कारक क्या हैं, और कैसे ये कारक छात्रों की शैक्षिक सफलता को आकार देते हैं। छात्रों के सूचना-प्राप्ति व्यवहार का संबंध सीधे उनके शैक्षिक लक्ष्यों से होता है। जब छात्र अपने शैक्षिक लक्ष्यों को स्पष्ट रूप से समझते हैं, तो वे अधिक प्रभावी ढंग से सूचना प्राप्त कर सकते हैं। छात्रों के सूचना-प्राप्ति व्यवहार को उनके व्यक्तिगत रुचियों और विशेषज्ञता के क्षेत्रों के अनुसार समझा जा सकता है। कुछ छात्र अधिक स्वायत्त होते हैं और स्वयं से सूचना प्राप्त करने में सक्षम होते हैं, जबकि अन्य को मार्गदर्शन और सहयोग की आवश्यकता होती है। स्वायत्त छात्र अधिकतर इंटरनेट, पुस्तकालयों, और अन्य शैक्षिक संसाधनों का स्वतंत्र रूप से उपयोग करते हैं। वे अपने अध्ययन में समय और संसाधनों का प्रभावी ढंग से प्रबंधन करते हैं। इसके विपरीत, वे छात्र जो अधिक मार्गदर्शन की आवश्यकता महसूस करते हैं, वे अपने शिक्षकों, सहपाठियों और परामर्शदाताओं से अधिक सहायता लेते हैं। सूचना-प्राप्ति के इस व्यवहार में तकनीक की भूमिका भी अत्यधिक महत्वपूर्ण है। डिजिटल युग में, छात्रों के पास विभिन्न प्रकार के ऑनलाइन प्लेटफार्म और संसाधनों का उपयोग करने की सुविधा है। इंटरनेट, सोशल मीडिया, शैक्षिक वेबसाइट्स, और मोबाइल एप्लिकेशन्स के माध्यम से सूचना की उपलब्धता ने छात्रों के अध्ययन के तरीकों को बहुत बदल दिया है। छात्र अब किसी भी समय, कहीं भी आवश्यक जानकारी प्राप्त कर सकते हैं, जिससे उनके अध्ययन में लचीलापन आया है। लेकिन साथ ही, डिजिटल प्लेटफार्मों पर सूचना की प्रामाणिकता और विश्वसनीयता को परखने की चुनौती भी बढ़ गई है।

AN EXPLORATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE MALE PERSPECTIVES AND FEMALE PSYCHE IN THE MAJOR NOVELS OF GITHA HARIHARAN

2024-09-12T00:34:24+00:00

Githa Hariharan is a well-known Indian novelist who is noted for her thorough analysis of societal themes, notably gender and identity. This research dives into the complicated tapestry of gender dynamics that can be found within the major works of Githa Hariharan. She deftly explores male perspectives and the female psyche, often in opposition of tension with each other. Her male characters frequently embody societal norms or struggle to break free from them, while her female characters navigate internal and external battles for autonomy, identity, and voice. The purpose of this article is to undertake an exploratory analysis in order to investigate the manner in which Hariharan's books show masculine perceptions in contrast to the feminine psychology. It examines the intricate relationships that exist between her male and female characters, drawing attention to the patriarchal institutions that have an impact on the way they interact with one another as well as the psychological conflicts that her female protagonists may be experiencing. The narratives written by Hariharan frequently feature women struggling to fulfill their personal ambitions, as well as the expectations of society, as well as the limitations that are imposed by modernity and tradition. When it comes to the psychological and emotional landscapes of her female characters, the study focuses on how Hariharan employs these character dynamics to critique and question conventional gender stereotypes. This provides a comprehensive knowledge of the landscapes that her female characters inhabit. Furthermore, the research investigates the ways in which male characters either keep up with or challenge the patriarchal standards that have an effect on the lives of the women in their immediate environment. The purpose of this paper is to uncover the subtle and overt ways in which Hariharan articulates the struggles and resilience of women in the face of a patriarchal society. This will be accomplished by examining the interplay between male and female perspectives in novels such as The Thousand Faces of Night (1992), The Ghosts of Vasu Master (1994), When Dreams Travel (1999), In Times of Siege (2003), Fugitive Histories (2009),and I Have Become the Tide (2019). The findings add to a more comprehensive knowledge of gender discourse in modern Indian literature and give insights into the ways in which writing may function as a vehicle for social change. By examining both male and female characters, the analysis highlights how Hariharan uses myth, storytelling, and cultural narratives to critique traditional gender roles. Her male characters often embody societal expectations, while her female protagonists confront the constraints of patriarchy through introspection and resistance. The study reveals how Hariharan’s use of myth not only reimagines the past but also envisions new possibilities for gender relations making her work a critical contribution to contemporary feminist literature.

हिंदी कहानियों में अभिव्यक्त विकलांग मनोविज्ञान

2024-09-12T00:42:00+00:00

मानव समाज ने अपने भीतर तमाम विविधताओं को समाहित किया है। समाज के इस ताने-बाने में कई ऐसे वर्ग दिखाई देते हैं, जिनका विकास मानव समाज के विकास के बरक्स अवरुद्ध दिखाई देता है। इन्हीं वर्गों में विकलांग वर्ग समाज के सबसे अंतिम पायदान पर नजर आता है। विकलांगता मानव जीवन की एक अपरिहार्य सच्चाई है। जब कोई व्यक्ति जन्म से अथवा जन्म के बाद किन्हीं कारणों के तरह शारीरिक, मानसिक अथवा स्तर पर आंशिक अथवा पूर्ण रूप से किसी कार्य को संपादित करने में समर्थ नहीं होता तब ऐसी स्थिति विकलांगता कहलाती है। समाज विकलांगजनों के प्रति आरंभ से ही नकारात्मक रहा है। सदियों के अन्याय एवं अनवरत शोषण के बाद कुछ हद तक आधुनिककाल में और व्यापक स्तर पर उत्तर-आधुनिक युग में इनकी पीड़ा को अनेक रूपों में वाणी मिली और इनसे जुड़े जरूरी सवालों ने विमर्श के गलियारे में कुछ जगह हाँसिल की। उपेक्षित व वंचित समाज को साहित्य ने संवेदना की भूमि प्रदान कर उनकी वेदना को हमेशा से समझने का प्रयास किया है। विकलांगों की दृष्टि से यदि हिंदी साहित्य पर गौर करें तो बहुत कम रचनाकार इस तरफ रचनारत डिकाही पड़ते हैं। इस शोध-आलेख का उद्देश्य है हिंदी कहानियों में अभिव्यक्त विकलांगों के मनोविज्ञान को समझना, समाज की मानसिकता का विकलांगों के मनोविज्ञान पर पड़ने वाले प्रभावों का विवेचन करना।
