 Abstract

The two neighbors, India and Bangladesh, are organically linked- with their common heritage and shared history, common memories of tragic loss, and the separation of families on a massive scale following the Partition of India in 1947. India and Bangladesh are not just neighbours, but are bound by an umbilical connection of ethnicity and kinship. India attaches highest importance to bilateral relations with Bangladesh because of our shared history, heritage, culture, language, physical proximity and passion for music, literature and arts. Also, Rabindranath Tagore created the national anthems of both Bangladesh and India in 1905 and in 1911 respectively. However the bilateral relations between the two Nations formally started after the Bangladesh liberation war, 1971 which had played a key role along with the Mukhti Bahini, thus helping East Pakistan (as called then) to separate from Pakistan and emerge as an independence nation. India was the first country to recognize Bangladesh as a separate and independent State and established diplomatic relations with the country immediately after its independence in December 1971. The two nations can together play a significant role for the development and prosperity of the entire subcontinent and beyond. The edifice of this unique relationship between the two neighboring nations are based on the unwavering faith in democratic values, principles of liberalism, egalitarianism, secularism and respect for each Other sovereignty and integrity. The cordial relation is reflected through multidimensional expanding relations between the two countries in the four decades, the two countries have continued to consolidate their relations, and have built a comprehensive institutional framework to promote bilateral cooperation in all areas. The relations between the two countries have been characterized as a special relationship although some disputes remain unresolved. The historic land boundary agreement was signed on 6th June 2015 which settled decades old disputes, while negotiations are still ongoing over the sharing of water of the Trans Boundary Rivers. In this context my paper would traces the disputes on the Trans Boundary river water sharing between the two countries.

 Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the effect of physical training and a combination of physical and yogic training on motor fitness component of college level Handball players. 45 male players from Alipurduar district in West Bengal, India, aged 18-20, were randomly selected for the study. The study was conducted using a true random group design, consisting of a pre-test and post-test. The participants were divided into three groups: physical training (Experimental Group 1), combined physical and yogic training (Experimental Group 2), and control group (Experimental Group 3). Pre-tests was conducted on Abdominal muscular strength. The experimental groups participated in their respective physical training, combined physical and yogic practices for six weeks. Post-tests were conducted on this dependent variable after six weeks. The analysis of variance (ANCOVA) statistical technique was used to test the adjusted post-test mean differences among the experimental groups. Scheffe's post hoc test was used to find paired mean significant differences (Thirumalaisamy A. 1995). The descriptive analysis revealed that performance-related factors influenced both the physical training group and the combined group equally. Both groups had chances to develop physical factors, and the incorporation of yogic exercises with the training was found to be the prime source for such significance. The study highlights the importance of incorporating yogic exercises in sports training for improved motor fitness.

 Abstract

The impact of media on children today is a multifaceted issue with both positive and negative implications. This abstract examines how various forms of media influence children's development, behavior, and attitudes. Positive effects include educational benefits from well-designed content, fostering cognitive growth and cultural understanding. However, negative impacts encompass exposure to inappropriate or violent content, potential for cyberbullying, and skewed perceptions of body image. The role of parents in guiding media usage and promoting media literacy is crucial. To mitigate negative effects and enhance positive outcomes, a balanced and informed approach to media consumption is essential for children's well-rounded development.

This paper presents a study on the use of Excel Solver techniques for solving quadratic optimization problems. Quadratic optimization is a mathematical optimization technique used to solve optimization problems that involve nonlinear objective functions and/or nonlinear constraints. Excel Solver is a widely-used tool for optimization problems, and it has made it easier for researchers and practitioners to apply quadratic optimization to a wide range of problems in various fields. We demonstrate the effectiveness of Excel Solver in finding optimal solutions to quadratic optimization problems and compare the results to other optimization techniques. Our findings indicate that Excel Solver can be an effective tool for solving quadratic optimization problems and has significant potential for use in a wide range of applications.

Women's agency and social status affected their standing in family planning decision-making. Given the magnitude of the family planning programme in India, there is a need to strengthen the coordination of all its aspects, focusing on planning, programmes, monitoring, training and procurement. Women's intent of using family planning services/methods was influenced by multiple factors such as socio-demographic characteristics. Fear of side-effects of contraception methods, access to information and support, and cultural and religious beliefs hindered the use of modern methods of contraceptive. Undesirable attitudes of service providers influenced underutilisation of family planning services. Ineffective contraceptive choice counselling, particularly for poor section of the community and high-risk groups were reported. While considering inter-pregnancy interval, some of the women opted for induced abortion to terminate unplanned pregnancy however, had meagre acceptance for using modern contraceptive methods. There is a need for greater male participation both as enablers and beneficiaries and also address the sexual and reproductive needs of the youth. It is imperative for the government to ensure the prioritization of family planning in the national development agenda.

 Abstract

Financial inclusion (FI) refers to the provision of financial services in an accessible and straightforward manner that is also reasonably priced and able to serve a sizable portion of the underprivileged and low-income population. For India to become a major player in the world of the socially and economically underprivileged groups, FI is a necessity. In the current situation, financial institutions serve as the cornerstones of development, growth, and advancement. This study's objective is to investigate how FI affects economic expansion. Various multiple regression statistical approaches are used to analyse secondary data. The study's findings indicated that the number of bank branches and the credit deposit ratio have a favourable and significant impact on India's GDP. The findings also indicated that the expansion of ATMs had a little effect on India's GDP. This research makes an effort to investigate the FI in India as a whole.

 Abstract

Education is crucial for human growth in a rapidly changing society. Despite India's economic growth, the country faces socio-economic challenges. Education is seen as the key solution to address these obstacles and propel the nation forward. The National Policy on Education 1986 and the Programme of Action 1992 aimed to provide free and compulsory education of satisfactory quality to all children below 14 years of age. However, these policies fell short of addressing the challenges at a global level. The National Education Policy of 2020, approved by the Government of India, replaces the 1986 policy after 34 years. It introduces significant reforms, including renaming the Ministry of Human Resources and Development as the Ministry of Education. The policy proposes changes in the regulation and governance of the education system to align with the goals of the 21st century. It allows foreign universities to operate in India's higher education sector and re-structures regulatory bodies like the Universities Grants Commission and the All India Council for Technical Education. The policy emphasizes the use of mother tongue or regional language as the primary medium of instruction up to Class 5 and promotes formative assessments and peer review systems. It establishes a National Assessment Centre and aims to create a more contemporary and future-oriented learning experience. It aims to bridge gaps in India's education system and achieve the Sustainable Development Goal of 2030 for inclusive and quality education. NEP 2020 seems to be positive in theory but in practical it is challenging. This paper highlights both opportunities and challenges in National Education Policy 2020.

 Abstract

The value of customers has evolved into a crucial component of preserving competitive edge in the retail sector. In the age of new retail, the value of customers is intimately tied to innovations like services with value and original business models in addition to how much a product costs. In this article, we examine how revenue-sharing agreements and customer value affect the collaborative investment in innovation and pricing decisions made in a retailer-supplier supply chain. First, we discover that only the provider Stackelberg game achieves equilibrium in the non-cooperative game. Contracts for revenue sharing, however, are unable to synchronise the supply chain in a competitive game. We discover that there is a particular equilibrium for the Nash bargaining product when taking into account the bargaining strength of supply chain participants. Additionally, revenue sharing agreements can synchronise the supply chain to maximise consumer excess. When the supply chain is coordinated, the profit is divided among the participants according to their negotiating strength.
