Perception is regarded as a driving force of decision making in household management of water
quality for a good life. A negative perception of the existing water consumption will lead to adopting
self-management by the household in its all concern. This paper aims to investigate the factors
affecting the perception of the household towards quality water consumption through the
determinants of adopting water quality management technology in urban area. In this regard,
primary data has been collected through systematic sampling and analyzed by a logit model. The
result shows that most of the households shows concerned about water quality supplied by public
authority. The monthly income of the household, years of education ofthe family head, source of
water, age of family head and location of the house are the significant factor in determining the
perception to adopt a water quality management technique. A majority of the households doesn’t have
any knowledge regarding the chemical contamination of water. The slums regions are more prone to
water-related issues.

The pursuit of English language competence is of utmost importance in today's globalized society, where
success depends on the ability to effectively communicate across boundaries. The quest for English
language proficiency holds immense significance in today's globalized world, where effective
communication across borders is a prerequisite for success. In this pursuit, the roles of teacher perceptions
and pedagogical approaches are pivotal, shaping the trajectory of language learning for students.
Teachers, armed with their beliefs, attitudes, and instructional methods, wield the power to cultivate
linguistic competence in learners. By understanding the dynamics of these factors, educators can better
equip themselves to guide their students toward a more profound and effective grasp of the English
language. Researcher utilized a qualitative research methodology can provide a deeper understanding of
the teacher perceptions and pedagogical approaches in fostering English language proficiency, uncover
the nuanced ways in which teachers perceive their roles in enhancing students' English language skills.
The result indicated that teacher perceptions and pedagogical approaches are intertwined factors that
shape the journey to English language proficiency. Positive perceptions combined with student-centered,
research-based strategies create an environment where students are more likely to engage, communicate,
and flourish in their language development. By embracing a variety of pedagogical approaches and
aligning them with teachers' perceptions and professional development, educators can create powerful
learning experiences that empower students to become proficient English language users.

The difficulties that women working in NTO encounter are described and discussed in this paper.
Community norms, unwritten stereotypical views heard and learned through socialisation, family and
parental values all pass on socio-cultural taboos to subsequent generations. These taboos may lead to
the rejection of decision-making, or they may shoulder the burden of these taboos while employed by
NTO. This paper presents the respondent's viewpoint on societal taboos, the expectations they have
for society's treatment of them, and strategies for breaking down these barriers. Additionally, the
idealised, conventional, and conventionally modern images of women that are created by social
media could become taboo in certain circles.

The effect of Marzano's Teacher Supervision Model on mathematics instruction to reduce anxiety
among students in secondary schools is examined in this article. Using a systematic review approach, the
study finds that the model has an effective impact on teaching strategies, improves critical thinking abilities,
lowers math anxiety, and helps students develop holistically. It examines four interconnected themes: the
model's impact on instructional practices, its encouragement of conceptual understanding and critical
thinking, its potential to lower math anxiety and boost student self-confidence, and its effects on math
performance. These results illustrate the model's all-encompassing potential for influencing critical
thinking which is essential while studying mathematics.

Education is a fundamental human right for all individuals, regardless of ethnic background, and it is
crucial for the sustainable growth of the nation as a whole. When we examine global history, we can see
that only those countries which provided comparable educational opportunities for both men and women
were capable of achieving advancement. We cannot develop into a developed nation without properly
educating our girls African proverbs such as "If you educate a man, you educate an individual, but if you
educate a woman, you educate a nation" serve as a reminder of the relevance of education for girls.
Allowing women the liberty to choose what kind of life they select for themselves starts by providing them
with education. The days when people believed that enrolling girls to receive an education was not
required are no longer prevalent in today's society. The purpose of this paper is to outline the current
situation and issues affecting girls' education in India and suggest possible solutions for these issues. The
study as a whole is based on secondary sources, which include various kinds of articles, reports, research
papers, books, government websites, and digital world materials etc. There are four sections in the paper.
The importance of girls' education in India and its historical context are highlighted in the paper's first
section. The paper's second section examines the current state of girls' education in India. The third
section of the paper goes into detail on the important initiatives and programs that the Indian government
and the states have taken to improve the education of girls as well as the various issues that this sector
encounters in India. The final section of the paper makes recommendations to eradicate constraints on
girls' child education in India.

In crop production, the importance of Zn was realized due to raising its deficiency from intensified
agriculture, increasing prevalence of high yielding crop varieties, multiple cropping. These factors have
combined to create large gaps between the soil Zn supply and crop requirements. The zinc deficiency in
the soil adversely affects crop yield and nutritional quality. Zinc levels had significantly beneficial effect
on the straw / dry matter yields of the rabi crops over control in both crop seasons. The best results in
linseed, lentil and cabbage were obtained at 7.5 kg Zn ha-1, in wheat at 10 kg Zn per Ha and in berseem
at 5 kg Zn per Ha. Zinc uptake was highest in wheat crop. The uptake of Zn by these crops increased
significantly with its addition over control in both the years.

The education of children with intellectual disability is a multifaceted challenge for both parents and
educators. The involvement of parents has a substantial impact on the education of children with intellectual
disabilities, so contributing to the Social Role Valorization of both the kid and their family. The primary
objective of this paper was to examine the current body of literature pertaining to parental involvement in
the education of children with intellectual disabilities, as well as their role in promoting Social Role
Valorization. Fifteen studies pertaining to the issue, published between 2008 and 2022, were considered for
analysis. The publications selected for review were sourced from Google Scholar utilising the keywords
"Parental Involvement" and "Social Role Valorization." A comprehensive analysis was conducted on a total
of fifteen papers, which were picked from an original pool of 26 articles. The publications that were
excluded from consideration were those that focused solely on one of the two fundamental concepts, either
parental participation or societal role valorization. The findings of the study indicated that parents who
demonstrated a strong interest in and provided support for the education of their child with intellectual
disabilities reported a greater presence of positive experiences in their lives and occupied more socially
valued roles compared to parents who showed no interest in their child's education. The review also
proposed that the implementation of a meticulously customised Individualised Family Support Plan (IFSP)
could potentially increase the probability of Social Role Valorization among families with children who
have Intellectual disability.

The present paper chiefly deals with Gandhi’s concept of satyagraha and non-violence. Whenever we hear about aggressive outburst in society for social injustice or any other reason, one immediately brings Gandhi amidst the contrast. Gandhi’s principles remained much discussed issue among moderates and extremists since the beginning. Merely getting our desired result by any means without consideration of ends is not, according Gandhian ideology, an appropriate way of dealing with socio-political exploitation and injustice. But still many people are of opinion to apply brute force if we may achieve satisfactory result. This contradiction leads us towards the dilemma what Gandhi thinks of satyagraha and how it can be applied in the struggle for truth. Therefore, it is noteworthy also to look at how it can be practiced in extreme cases. The paper elaborates what is the scope of satyagraha in battling with social injustices and discriminations through non-violence and soul-force. Whether widening the range of sympathy and self suffering would be suffice to eradicate all social evils is a recurring question and how much it is probable to get transformation in opponent’s heart. Thus, it might be interesting to excavate how Gandhi felt and interpreted the concept of truth and non-violence.

Marine biodiversity in India encompasses a diverse array of ecosystems, species, and genetic resources, playing a crucial role in the nation's natural heritage and ecological balance. The legal framework governing marine biodiversity primarily consists of legislations such as the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972, Forest (Conservation) Act of 1980, Environment (Protection) Act of 1986, Biological Diversity Act of 2002, and Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) notifications. These laws aim to regulate activities affecting marine biodiversity and promote sustainable practices. However, despite the existence of these legal instruments, India faces significant challenges in marine biodiversity conservation, including overfishing, habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change impacts. Insufficient enforcement, inadequate monitoring, and coordination gaps further hinder effective conservation efforts. This paper discusses the legal framework, key challenges, and emphasizes the need for integrated approaches and collaborative efforts to ensure the sustainable management and preservation of India's marine biodiversity.

The act of killing someone without a courtroom trial is known as a mob lynching. A crowd punishes and torments a person who is thought to have committed an act of hostility. A hate crime that targets individuals with certain identities or forms is mob lynching. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, and human dignity are all violated by mob lynching. It also violates Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantees the fundamental right to life. In India, witch hunts, intolerance, caste, religion, geography, and politics are the main causes of mob lynching. From the 1857 uprising to the 1947 partition, there have been numerous instances of mob lynching in community and religious disturbances. Although there isn't a national legislation against mob lynching, victims' rights to justice under the constitution and their human rights are protected.
