Twenty-first century believes in Holism and not Reductionism, be it on the concept of the Universe, the Nature, the Society or on the process of education. Quality education in 21st century demands a holistic approach with the 4C’s: Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking and Creativity. At the higher education level, Outcome Based Education (OBE) has been clearly defined with graduate attributes, qualification descriptors, course learning outcomes and programme learning outcomes. For attaining this a bottom-up approach should be followed. Problem solving skills are graduate attribute which is holistic in nature and is usually associated with cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains. Proper acquisition of problem solving skills is associated with development of scientific temper. Problem-solving skills and scientific temper are the pre-requisites for developing procedural knowledge and the authors have designed a pool of activities based on strategies to promote these two prerequisites among secondary school students through science learning. At the critical period of secondary level education, the pre-requisites and learner attributes are to be ensured in tune with the recommendations of NEP 2020. Research to innovate effective strategies in this direction gains priority.

Inclusive education programme gives every learner a chance to participate in a learning environment that provides better opportunities to grow up and succeed. Inclusive programs are difficult to develop because they require significant changes to the manner. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated 1.3 billion people have significant disabilities and globally 16% of the population. UNICEF reported that estimated 240 million children with disabilities worldwide. There is a need to provide basic education for their betterment in the shelter of inclusive programmes. Teachers are one of the basic pillars who play an important role in schools and provide the best instruction and education for their students.  There are several barriers related to preparing teachers for inclusive schools in India ( Kumar Amlesh;2021). General educators have limited knowledge and information of special education background, this can often be stressful for teachers. In the sector of inclusiveness all students have the necessary resources in order to be successful. There is a need to improve the teacher education programmes also.

So there needs a persistent improvement of individuals engaged with education. Today, every nation of the world is attempting to be created every which way. Every one of our chiefs and teachers are attempting to move past this issue at the same time, track down them incapable to do as such. Furthermore, this everything is occurring because of our debilitated and deficient instruction approaches and its executions. Also, when our strategies come up short, we revile to others like populace is washing our endeavors and debasement has gobbled up our framework and so on. In this setting when we discuss schooling and its contemporary issues, we ought to initially talk about that what difficulties and issues we have in contemporary world and how to battle those. This present time it is the opportunity to reevaluate about the schooling system. The education ought to be intended for the development of cognizance, instruction for the upcoming scene and schooling for world change. Modernization of educational program, disposal of deadwood, causing understudies to advance without anyone else and take up projects all alone as opposed to be happy with gulping newspaper information, empowering students to develop an exuberant interest in the area, advancing solid educator understudy exchanges, this will be really useful to our schooling. Internal direction to schooling might be supposed to accomplish is an increase of insight, newness, imperativeness, kindness, and clearness of vision. With the new eyesight, the student moves with a balance and reason, sees more , and finds all information and encounters, all data and records, not simply debatable instruments at the assessment shop or work trade, however wonders of disclosure, brightening and insistence. Such understudies will sparkle with the fire of opportunity, in their spirits and the radiance of information in their eyes, and they will likewise be prepared to take part in a Divine being's work of risk and trouble for its sheer delight. They will be 'legend heroes' who will win the future and make it alright for us.

Cognitive Dissonance refers to the psychological inconsistency that people who hold two or more cognitions, and experiences i.e., it is a state of psychological discomfort called cognitive dissonance (Festinger, 1957). Cognitive dissonance started emerging from the age of 2 (Wiesmann et al., 2022) and existed till old age (Cooper and Feldman, 2019). However, adolescence became a critical phase to study cognitive dissonance as this stage undergoes a lot of changes such as psychological and physical changes.

This study investigates university students' attitude towards e-learning at Ravenshaw University, emphasizing gender and academic discipline differences. With the rise of digital education, e-learning has become a pivotal instructional method, yet student perceptions vary. Using a quantitative survey of 260 postgraduate students, the research reveals that 22% of students exhibit a high positive attitude towards e-learning, 54% show a moderate attitude, and 24% have a low attitude. Statistical analysis indicates no significant gender differences in attitudes, suggesting that male and female students view e-learning similarly. However, notable differences emerge between disciplines: Science students demonstrate a significantly more positive attitude compared to Humanities students. This disparity may be due to varying curricula, student engagement levels, and resource availability. The study highlights the need for targeted enhancements to address the challenges faced by students with lower attitudes and suggests that while e-learning is broadly accepted, its effectiveness can be optimized by integrating it more thoughtfully into traditional educational frameworks. The findings support the ongoing development of e-learning strategies that accommodate diverse student needs and preferences.

The most common theme the novels of Anita Desai is the complexity of human relationship, particularly the man-woman relationship. She writes mostly about the miserable plight of women suffering under their insensitive and inconsiderable husbands, fathers and brothers. So the man-woman relationship brings characters into alienation, withdrawal, loneliness, isolation and lack of communication that frequently occurs in her novels. Most of her novel's protagonists are alienated from the world, from society, from families, from parents and even from their ownselves because they are sensitive, high stung individuals. When these characters have to face alienation, they become rebels. Tension, worries, depression, disappointment, anxiety and fear become their lot and they lose their sense of sanity and mental poise, for example Maya in Cry.

This study investigated the correlation between emotional competence and teacher self-efficacy among pupil teachers. Emotional competence, which encompasses the ability to understand and manage one's own emotions, empathize with others, and foster motivation and confidence, is crucial in educational settings that emphasize collaboration.  Self-efficacy, defined as an individual's belief in their ability to successfully handle future situations, is also essential for effective teaching. The study involved 200 pupil teachers from both government and private training colleges in Samastipur District, selected through stratified random sampling. Data on emotional competence and self-efficacy were collected using standardized tools. Results indicated significant differences between pupil teachers from government and private institutions in emotional competence. However, no significant differences were observed in their levels of self-efficacy.  Furthermore, a moderate positive correlation was found between emotional competence and self-efficacy. This article discusses the implications of these findings for pupil teacher training and development.

In Keki Daruwalla’s poetry, nature is not merely a backdrop but a dynamic narrative force that shapes the thematic and symbolic dimensions of his work. This article, explores how nature acts as a powerful narrative device in four major works: “Boat-Ride Along the Ganga,” “Fire Hymn,” “Hawk,” and “The Ghaghra in Spate.” These poems highlight the poet’s intricate portrayal of environmental forces, transforming landscapes into symbolic agents of cultural and personal reflection.

“Boat-Ride Along the Ganga” reflects the sacredness and the complexity of human interaction with the river, not only as a site of ritualistic purity but also as a reminder of death and life’s transitory nature. “Fire Hymn” presents nature as an element of destruction and regeneration, where fire becomes a powerful symbol of human suffering, loss, and cleansing. In “Hawk,” Daruwalla employs the predator as a metaphor for predation, authority, and freedom, suggesting an inherent brutality within natural cycles that mirror human violence. Finally, “The Ghaghra in Spate” uses the imagery of a river in flood to depict nature’s unpredictable and uncontrollable power, symbolizing the fragility of human constructions against the forces of nature.

Daruwalla’s environmental imagery is not merely descriptive but deeply allegorical, reflecting broader themes of life, death, violence, and human frailty. By exploring these four poems, the article delves into how Daruwalla’s portrayal of nature provides both physical and metaphysical insights into the human condition, positioning nature as a protagonist in the narrative of human existence. Through his poetic lens, nature serves as a mirror for humanity’s spiritual and existential dilemmas, inviting a reflection on ecological responsibility and the sacred relationship between humans and the natural world.

This study seeks to deepen our understanding of Daruwalla’s environmental imagery, arguing that his use of nature serves to challenge anthropocentric perspectives, offering instead a vision of nature as an equal, if not dominant, force in shaping human destiny.

Stem cell research conducted by developing countries offers the potential to target innovation to local context, make treatments more affordable, and aid in economic development. Propelled by the scientific and economic promise of important new health technologies, stem cell science has produced politicization across the international, regional and national policy domains.

Geographical indications are products of a special kind, which are known for their uniqueness, reputation, and properties that are inherent to them just because of the geographical place they come from. In India, the promotion of GIs has emerged as a vital strategy for driving rural economic growth, leveraging the distinctive attributes of regional products to enhance their value and competitiveness. Firstly, one way GI promotion can address this is by encouraging the preservation of traditional knowledge which will thereby make it possible to reward preserving ancient practices handed over through generations in rural areas. These traditional practices when recognized and protected by GIs sustain rural livelihoods and cultural heritage. Secondly, focusing on distinctiveness in characteristics and origin of GI products ensures improved value addition giving room for higher prices that enable farmers to earn more income. By increasing value added not only do individual producers gain but it also triggers general economic expansion in rural areas.

Moreover, pursuing GI status implies investing in infrastructure plus technology improvements that would lead to an overall improvement in rural infrastructures which is sustainable too. Thus, this paper examines how GIs are used within India and also in International markets, how the government is doing their branding, and how they can be proved to be catalysts for the enhancement of the rural economy. The aim is also to create awareness of why GIs matter for rural development through marketing, illustrating how these can support local communities while preserving their cultural heritage.

This study investigates the influences on moral judgment among Grade 9 students in Odisha, focusing on the impact of educational board affiliation (BSE vs. CBSE), socio-economic status (SES), intelligence, and gender. Utilizing a descriptive survey research design, data were collected from 810 students across Bhadrak and Balasore districts. The Defining Issues Test (DIT) and General Mental Ability Test were employed to assess moral judgment and cognitive abilities, respectively. The findings reveal significant differences in moral judgment based on educational board affiliation, with CBSE students exhibiting higher mean scores compared to BSE students. Socio-economic status also emerged as a significant predictor, with students from higher SES backgrounds demonstrating more advanced moral reasoning. Intelligence was found to be a crucial factor, with higher cognitive abilities correlating with more sophisticated moral judgments. However, no significant gender differences were observed in moral judgment levels. This comprehensive analysis highlights the need for tailored educational interventions that consider these diverse factors. The study underscores the importance of refining curricula and pedagogical approaches to support ethical development, particularly in socio-economically diverse settings. The insights gained can guide educators and policymakers in creating more equitable and effective educational practices, fostering holistic moral and cognitive growth among students
