Geographical Study of the Spatial Distribution Pattern and Changing Dimensions of Literacy in Ambedkar Nagar District, Uttar Pradesh
This research paper examines the literacy patterns and their changing trends in Ambedkar Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh, situated in the Middle Ganga Plain (Awadh region). Using secondary data, the study analyzes literacy from spatial, temporal, and demographic perspectives. The findings show that literacy levels in the district have steadily improved over time, accompanied by a reduction in the gap between male and female literacy rates. The study further reveals significant regional variations in literacy. Urban centers such as Akbarpur, the district headquarters, and the industrial towns of Tanda and Jalalpur record relatively high literacy levels due to better educational infrastructure and socio-economic opportunities. However, disparities remain within the surrounding rural areas, where literacy rates are comparatively lower. The most remote and peripheral rural regions continue to face challenges in achieving educational progress. In recent years, the concept of literacy has expanded beyond basic reading and writing skills to include digital literacy and skill-based learning. These emerging dimensions are playing an important role in enhancing human capital and supporting the district’s demographic dividend. The study concludes that balanced and localized planning strategies are necessary to reduce regional inequalities and promote inclusive literacy development across all parts of Ambedkar Nagar district.

It ends with the idea that talent analytics is key to transforming existing inconsistent patterns in HR into strategic performance-and data-driven decision-making.
Reframing Moral Philosophy through Disabled Ethics: Autonomy, Personhood, and the Politics of Care
This paper critically explores how disabled ethics reshapes traditional moral philosophy by challenging dominant notions of autonomy, personhood, and justice. Positioned against the ableist foundations of Western moral thought, disabled ethics emphasizes inclusion, interdependence, and the lived experiences of disabled individuals. Tracing its intellectual lineage from classical and religious texts to contemporary disability rights movements, the paper contrasts the medical model of disability with the social and relational models. Drawing on key theorists like Eva Feder Kittay, Lennard Davis, Anita Silvers, and others, it argues for an ethics rooted in care, vulnerability, and mutual dependency rather than abstract rationality or independence. The discussion incorporates intersectional and non-Western perspectives—highlighting the cultural, spiritual, and social meanings attached to disability across African, South Asian, East Asian, and Islamic traditions. The study concludes by examining the policy implications of disabled ethics in healthcare, education, and law, advocating for proactive inclusion and participatory justice. Ultimately, the paper redefines the moral landscape to affirm that justice and dignity must account for the full spectrum of human embodiment and interdependence.
Role of Talent Analytics in Strategic Human Resource Decision Making
Since that, talent analytics has become one of the most important tools for helping company was able to better predict their decisions in modern HR people analytics. This paper explores the importance of using talent analytics in HR decision making, and discusses how it is applied to recruitment, employee retention and turnover prediction, performance management, workforce planning, and succession planning.

Key Findings Talent analytics supports evidence-based decision making Reduces turnover Improves employee engagement Strengthens alignment between human resource strategies and business goals But the issues of data quality, analytical capacity, technological capabilities and privacy protection define the success of implementation. The paper further forwards the argument that talent analytics has now moved on from being an overarching support function to establishing itself in the very core of strategy all for more sustainable growth and better outcomes within a workforce.
Kausalwissenschaftliche Struktur-Soziologie Soziale Naturgesetze, Verhaltensverteilungen und die Illusion individueller Autonomie
Dieser Beitrag formuliert eine kausalwissenschaftliche Struktur-Soziologie als explizite Alternative zu interpretativen und konstruktivistischen Paradigmen der Gegenwartssoziologie. Im Zentrum steht die These, dass individuelles Verhalten nicht primär durch intentionale Entscheidungen, sondern durch strukturell erzeugte Verhaltensverteilungen bestimmt ist. Zur Erklärung dieser Verteilungen wird das Konzept sozialer Naturgesetze eingeführt. Diese bezeichnen stabile, kausale Mechanismen, die unabhängig von subjektiven Bedeutungszuschreibungen wirken. Drei fundamentale Gesetzesbereiche werden identifiziert: (1) Macht und Gewalt, (2) Konformität und (3) Massenpsychologie. Der Ansatz integriert Mikro-, Meso- und Makroebenen in einer geschlossenen Kausalarchitektur und zeigt, dass gesellschaftliche Dynamiken als gesetzmäßig strukturierte Prozesse analysiert werden können. Damit wird der Anspruch erneuert und vervollständigt, Soziologie als erklärende Wissenschaft im Sinne einer Sozialphysik bzw. „Physik der Gesellschaft“ zu begründen.
विवाहिता व अविवाहिता छात्राध्यापकों के संवेगात्मक बुद्धि का अध्ययन
शिक्षा के वास्तविक और व्यापक अर्थ में उसके उद्देश्य भी बहुत व्यापक और बहुआयमी है जो शारीरिक, मानसिक, सामाजिक विकास के साथ-साथ नैतिक, चारित्रक, व्यावसायिक तथा आध्यामिक विकास तक विस्तीर्म है। इस स्थिति में शिक्षा के सभी रुपों औपचारिक, अनौपचारिक तथा निरौपचारिक के द्वारा उसका प्रमुख उद्देश्य व्यक्ति का सर्वांगीण विकास ही होना चाहिए। शिक्षा ही वस्तुतः किसी राष्ट्र की प्रगति का मानदण्ड है। कोई भी राष्ट्र अपने दक्ष मानवीय संसाधनों द्वारा समूह बनता है। शिक्षा व्यक्ति के सामाजिक जीवन का एक महत्वपूर्ण अंग है जो उसे अपने जीवन के लक्ष्यों की प्राप्ति में सहायता करती है। शिक्षा मानव सभ्यता की सर्वाधिक मूल्यवान धरोहर है। समस्त विश्व को एक सूत्र में पिरोने तथा मनुष्य और मनुष्य के बीच सद्भाव की स्थापना में शिक्षा की बड़ी-बड़ी भूमिका है जिसे नकारा नहीं जा सकता है। किसी भी क्रिया की तरह शिक्षा भी तथा व्यवहार दोनों का संश्लेस है। वास्ताविक अनुभवों की प्रक्रिया में हमारे सम्मुख अनेक समस्याएँ उत्पन्न होती हैं। इनके समाधान का पहला पक्ष होता है इस पर विचार करना तथा दूसरा पक्ष है उपयुक्त सिद्धान्तों का निर्माण करना। शिक्षा के विभिन्न पक्षों का तादात्म्य जीवन के इन्हीं आधारभूत प्रश्नों के समाधान खोजने का प्रयत्न करता है।
पुरुष व महिला छात्राध्यापकों के मूल्यों का अध्ययन
जब हम शिक्षा की बात करते है तो शिक्षा का तात्पर्य व्यक्ति को ऐसी शिक्षा से है जिससे व्यक्ति में सामाजिक शिक्षा, सांस्कृतिक शिक्षा एवं संवेगात्मक शिक्षा का विकास हो सकें। इन सभी बातों को ग्रहण करने हेतु व्यक्ति को एक शिक्षक की आवश्यकता पड़ती है जो छात्र को सर्वागीण विकास कर सके। यहां शिक्षक की बात आती है तो इसके विषय में हम प्राचीन में अपने पुराणों को देखते है जिससे स्पष्ट होता है कि शिक्षक का स्थान महत्वपूर्ण होता था तथा शिक्षक को गुरु की महता थी तथा छात्र का स्थान गौण था। परन्तु आज की शिक्षा बाल केन्द्रित शिक्षा पद्धति हो गई है। इसका तात्पर्य यह होता है शिक्षा में जितनी भी परिवर्तन क्यों न किया जाये परन्तु शिक्षा का मूलभूत उद्देश्य यथावत बना रहता है। प्राचीन काल में शिक्षा के माध्यम से जहां व्यक्ति के चारित्रिक एवं व्यक्तित्व का विकास होता था तथा इसका नागरिक कर्Ÿाव्यों का बोध भी कराया जाता था। प्राचीन कालीन शिक्षा पद्धति यद्यपि में यह कह सकते है कि आधुनिक शिक्षा पद्धति का रूप बदला है परन्तु मूल्य और आदर्श नहीं बदलते है इस प्रकार शिक्षा एक ऐसा माध्यम है जिसके द्वारा मानव के व्यवहारों व उनके व्यवहारों में परिवर्तन लाया जा सकता हैं।
Trend Analysis of Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) along the Ganga River Corridor (2 Km Buffer) of Prayagraj City during 1985- 2025
This study focuses on the analysis of Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes in Prayagraj over the period 1985–2025 using a 2 km buffer zone approach along the ganga river corridor. LULC assessment plays an important role in understanding patterns of urban growth, environmental change, and regional development planning. The study classifies the area into four major categories: water bodies, agricultural land, built-up land, and sandy areas. A comparative analysis across different decades shows significant changes in land utilization patterns. The built-up area expanded considerably from 76.22 km² in 1985 to 387.26 km² in 2025, indicating rapid urbanization and increasing population pressure. In contrast, agricultural land experienced a continuous decline over the study period from 1231.73 to 902.14. Water bodies also showed a slight decrease, shrinking from 55.13 km² to 51.01 km², whereas sandy areas increased from 151.07 km² to 173.74 km². These transformations reflect growing human intervention around the river corridor and emphasize the importance of sustainable urban development and effective riverfront management practices in the region.
Exploring Disability and Psychological Suffering in Rohinton Mistry’s Family Matters
Rohinton Mistry's Family Matters is a sensitive depiction of disability, ageing and psychological pain in an average Parsi family. In this novel, it is the character of an old man who is finally able to receive the truth about his existence, as he is living with Parkinson's disease that reveals the emotional and psychological suffering of a disabled person in a society that expects the able-bodied, and in which rigid social norms prevail. Mistry skillfully portrays the dysfunctional family dynamics and the way a disability causes dependency, isolation and loss of dignity. Nariman's state highlights the prejudices and discriminatory attitude of the family and the larger community, where disabled and ageing bodies are often seen as a burden, rather than a person worthy of care and respect. The novel also explores the oppressive systems in Indian society, such as institutions and cultural norms and expectations, and the obligations and responsibilities of family members which also leads to emotional suffering and disconnection. As Nariman grows ill and becomes more and more reliant on others, Mistry condemns the lack of empathy that the Parsi community has for the elderly, sick, and disabled. There are also elements of disillusionment, nostalgia, identity crisis and social exclusion in the narrative, which allows a physical disability to intertwine with a psychological trauma. Family Matters not only conveys the emotional plight of the disabled person and the anxiety of the family member, but also provides a powerful insight into the fragility of man, the sacrifices he makes, and the value of kindness in today's world.

Understanding the Patterns of Marital Dissolution in Mizoram, India
This study analyses the geographic, demographic, and socio-economic variations of divorce among ever-married women in Mizoram, based on secondary data from five rounds of the National Family Health Survey, conducted during 1992-93 to 2019-21. Descriptive statistical techniques, particularly bivariate analysis, have been used to identify variations in divorce prevalence by place of residence, age, educational attainment, occupation, household wealth, and number of living children. The prevalence of divorce in Mizoram fluctuated over the past three decades, with a persistent gap in urban and rural areas, with the former consistently reporting a higher prevalence. Notable inter-district variations are also observed, with Lunglei district exhibiting the highest prevalence in the most recent rounds. The divorce rate was highest among the age group 20–24, and generally declined with advancing age. Variations are also evident in relation to educational level, with women possessing secondary education as well as those employed in sales exhibiting a relatively higher divorce rate. Household wealth exhibits modest variation, with both the poorest and richest groups displaying the highest prevalence in varying periods. The divorce rate is also high among women with fewer or no living children, compared to others with two or more living children. The results of this research draw attention to the complexities involved in the phenomenon of divorces in Mizoram, which require a multidimensional policy approach that focuses on diversity. Future research incorporating multivariate and qualitative approaches is recommended to further elucidate the determinants of divorce in Mizoram.

Environmental degradation and conservation issues in the Aravali Hills: A Case Study
One of the oldest mountain ranges, the Aravali Hills have an important ecological role in maintaining environmental balance as they prevent desertification, provide shelter and habitat for biodiversity, recharge groundwater, and limit air pollution in North India. But the sustainability of this fragile ecosystem is now increasingly being challenged by rapid urbanization, illegal mining, deforestation and unplanned infrastructure development. This case study details the environmental degradation of Aravali Hills and its ecological, socio-economic and communication aspects. The study is secondary in nature, where the study has been done by going through academic papers, environmental reports, newspapers, Government publications, and media content related to the Aravali ecosystem. The analysis shows that illegal mining, encroachments and urban sprawl in areas like Gurugram, Faridabad and Delhi NCR have borne a heavy burden in terms of habitat loss, groundwater depletion, biodiversity loss and air pollution. The results also show that environmental degradation has additional socio-economic impacts such as decline in agriculture, water scarcity, health problems, and impacts on livelihood opportunities. The study also emphasizes the importance of traditional and digital media to influence the public discourse on the Aravali crisis. Investigative journalism, social media activism, visual storytelling and online campaigns have raised awareness and civic engagement among the public. In the case of the media, however, it tends to be event-driven and doesn't always lead to long-term policy action. The study finally suggests the need to strengthen the environmental governance, implement conservation laws effectively, plan sustainable development and involve citizens and media institutions in ecology for long-term sustainability of the Aravali ecosystem.
गाजियाबाद जनपद के मुरादनगर विकासखंड के प्राथमिक विद्यालयो के अध्यापकों की दृष्टिकोण में मध्याह्न भोजन योजनाः जागरूकता, दृष्टिकोण, क्रियान्वयन की समस्याएँ तथा विद्यालयी वातावरण पर प्रभाव का एक अध्ययन
इस अध्ययन शोध का उद्देश्य उत्तर प्रदेश के गाजियाबाद जनपद के मुरादनगर विकासखंड के प्राथमिक विद्यालयो में कार्यरत अध्यापकों के मध्याह्न भोजन योजना के प्रति दृष्टिकोण जागरूकता, क्रियान्वयन, समस्याएँ, तथा विद्यालयी वतावरण पर प्रभाव का विश्लेषण किया गया है। मध्याह्न भोजन योजना भारत सरकार की एक महत्वपूर्ण समाजिक कल्याण योजना है, जिसका मुख्य उद्देश्य प्राथमिक स्तर के विद्यार्थियों के पोषण स्तर में सुधार करना, विद्यालयों में नामांकन एंव उपस्थिति बढ़ाना तथा समाजिक समानता को प्रोत्साहित करना है। योजना का सफल क्रियान्वयन में अध्यापकों की भूमिका अत्यतं महत्वपूर्ण हैं क्योंकि वे न केवल शैक्षिक गतिविधि से जुड़े होते है, बल्कि योजना के संचालन निगरानी एवं अनुशासन बनाये रखने में सक्रिय भागीदारी निभाते हैं। इस अध्ययन शोध में गाजियाबाद जिले के मुरादनगर ब्लाक में स्थित 102 प्राथमिक विद्यालयों में से 60 को शामिल किया गया है जिनमे से 150 अध्यापकों का चयन किया गया है। शिक्षकों से साक्षात्कार अनुसूची के माध्यम से आकड़े एकत्रित किये गए है।अध्ययन के निष्कर्षों से ज्ञात हुआ कि अधिकांश अध्यापक मध्याह्न भोजन योजना को विद्यार्थियों के स्वास्थ्य एवं विद्यालयी उपस्थति में वृद्दि के लिए उपयोगी मानते हैं। साथ ही, उन्होंने यह भी स्वीकार किया कि योजना से सामाजिक समरसता का बढ़ावा मिलता हैं। हालांकि कुछ अध्यापकों ने भोजन की गुणवत्ता, स्वच्छता, समय-प्रबंधन तथा शैक्षिणिक कार्य में व्यवधान जैसी समस्याओं की ओर भी ध्यान आर्किषित किया है। इस अध्ययन से यह निष्कर्ष प्राप्त होता है कि यदि मध्यान्ह भोजन के क्रियान्वयन में प्रशासनिक सहयोग, पर्याप्त संशाधन, नियमित निरक्षण तथा अध्यापकों पर अतिरिक्त गैर-शैक्षणिक दायित्व का बोझ कम किया जाय, तो यह योजना अधिक प्रभावी रूप से अपने उद्देश्यों को प्राप्त कर सकती है। यह शोध भविष्य में निति निर्माण एवं योजना के सुधार हेतु उपयोगी सिद्ध हो सकता हैं।
Electoral Behaviour of Voters in Nungba Assembly Constituency: A Socio-Political Analysis
The paper analyses the voting behaviour of the people of Nungba Assembly Constituency, Manipur, on a socio-political basis from the findings of an empirical survey supported by the electoral records from 1972 to 2022. Voter turnout is high (often above 75%), but the political landscape in Nungba is complex. Important factors are ethnicity, credibility of leadership, the continuing underdevelopment and the role of national and regional parties. Research shows that the expectation of transparent and accountable leadership and equitable development are recurring aspirations of the voters, often subverted by deep-seated practices of clannism, vote buying, and manipulation of democratic processes by state and non-state actors alike. The survey responses show an increasing distrust in political promises and a belief that government schemes seldom reach the most marginalised communities. The recent voting trends are consistent with the broader national trends, showing a clear departure from Congress's dominance and a move towards the BJP. It also reviews the impact of legal and institutional reforms on electoral integrity and highlights the progress achieved and the challenges to overcome, such as the lack of transparency in campaign financing and the criminalisation of politics. The analysis is based on the contemporary literature and stresses the urgency of systemic reforms, civic education, and the empowerment of the marginalised groups in order to narrow the gap between the aspirations of the voters and the political realities. Overall, the findings suggest that while Nungba voters are highly engaged, genuine democratic progress will depend on sustained institutional reform and the emergence of ethical and community-oriented leaders.
