 Abstract

Empowerment is a process that is both individual as well as group oriented, since it is through involvement in groups that people most often believe to develop their awareness and the ability to organize and take action to bring about change, often leading to improved decision making capacity at home and at the community level, and greater participation in politics. In the process, empowerment will help women make better use of their talents to lead better lives. They do not aim at being superior to men. They respond as equal and cooperate in order to work towards the common goal. It is therefore a process aimed at changing the nature and direction of systematic forces, which marginalize women and other disadvantaged sections in a given context. The process of women's empowerment should be critically linked to the issue of sustainability of their own livelihoods. If and only if a woman's livelihood is ensured in a sustainable manner, would she be a willing stakeholder towards her empowerment. Women's empowerment needs to be both realized as well as assessed are social, political and economic. Women's empowerment and women's education faces a number of social, cultural, economic and psychological barriers which has been highlighted through this paper.

 Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of weight training and resistance training on leg strength among triple jumpers. A total of forty-five inter-collegiate triple jumpers (N = 45), aged 18-22 years, were randomly assigned into three groups of fifteen each: Weight Training Group (Experimental Group I), Resistance Training Group (Experimental Group II), and Control Group. The experimental groups underwent their respective training programs for 12 weeks, while the control group did not receive any special treatment. Leg strength was assessed before and after the training period, and the data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at the 0.05 level of significance. The results revealed that the Weight Training Group showed the highest improvement in leg strength, with a mean difference of 8.95 (Pre-test Mean = 57.70; Post-test Mean = 66.65). The Resistance Training Group showed a moderate improvement with a mean difference of 3.55 (Pre-test Mean = 58.65; Post-test Mean = 62.20), while the Control Group recorded a minimal change of 1.00 (Pre-test Mean = 56.80; Post-test Mean = 57.80). The obtained F-value (12.62) was greater than the table value (3.16) at 0.05 significance level, confirming significant differences among the groups. Post hoc analysis further indicated that weight training was significantly more effective than resistance training and the control condition in enhancing leg strength. The findings conclude that structured weight training using free-weight, multi-joint exercises is superior in developing leg strength essential for the hop, step, and jump phases of triple jumpers. Resistance training, though beneficial, did not produce significant gains compared to weight training. Coaches and physical educators are encouraged to incorporate weight training protocols with progressive overload and sport-specific exercise selection to maximize performance benefits in triple jumpers.

 Abstract

One of the most pressing issues confronting India, a nation that is rapidly industrialising, urbanising, deforestation, and feeling the effects of climate change, is environmental preservation. Government laws and regulations are important, but non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have also had a significant impact on India's environmental initiatives. With a focus on their varied contributions at the grassroots and policy levels, this article explores the important role NGOs play in environmental conservation. In India, NGOs have played a critical role in influencing legislative changes, encouraging sustainable practices, increasing public knowledge of environmental issues, and encouraging public involvement in conservation efforts. Climate change mitigation, pollution control, water resource protection, waste management, and biodiversity conservation are all areas of their work. NGOs also serve as watchdogs, using legal action, such as public interest lawsuits, and campaigning to hold governments and businesses responsible.

 Abstract

The global automotive industry is undergoing a paradigm shift as it transitions from conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs). This evolution is not just a technological change but a critical response to the multifaceted challenges posed by climate change, fossil fuel dependency, and urban pollution. The accelerated development and deployment of EVs are being driven by significant advancements in battery technology, favorable government regulations and incentives, and a growing consumer demand for sustainable transportation. Additionally, the integration of renewable energy sources with electric mobility is reshaping how vehicles are powered, owned, and used. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the driving forces behind the rise of EVs, outlines the technical and infrastructural challenges impeding large-scale adoption, and explores future trends in the EV ecosystem. Drawing from current industry reports, academic literature, and case studies of leading global markets, the study offers a holistic view of how electric vehicles are likely to influence the economic, social, and environmental landscape in the coming decades.

 Abstract

Religion, originating from a Latin term meaning 'to connect,' has served as a fundamental force uniting individuals with each other and with a higher power. It has deeply influenced human civilization from its earliest days, evolving with social and cultural developments while continuing to shape moral and spiritual values. Central values include reverence for life, responsibility, and frugality, which together form the foundation of an ethical and sustainable lifestyle. This essay explores the origins and purpose of religion, the connection between religion and ethics, the moral and philosophical dimensions of religious belief, and the role religion can play in addressing modern challenges, including environmental ethics. For environmental ethics, the research emphasizes that protecting nature requires more than activism or hope; it demands a deep inner transformation and a new way of seeing the world. Besides, it draws various scholarly perspectives such as those of Martineau, Whitehead, and Radhakrishnan; it underscores that religion is not merely a set of beliefs but a guide for personal growth, moral behavior, and social harmony. Then the study concludes by emphasizing the need for a moral and spiritual renewal of religion in the contemporary world.

 Abstract

The playing ability of volleyball athletes is a multifaceted outcome influenced by a variety of physiological, psychological, and biomechanical factors. Among these, motor fitness variables play a crucial role in determining the overall performance of athletes. This research investigates the relationship between key motor fitness components--such as agility, speed, muscular strength, explosive power, endurance, and flexibility--and their predictive value on the playing ability of women volleyball players. A sample of collegiate-level women volleyball players was assessed through standardized motor fitness tests, and their performance was evaluated by qualified coaches using an objective rating scale. Statistical methods, including correlation and regression analysis, were employed to examine the extent to which these fitness components could predict volleyball performance. The results indicate that certain motor fitness variables, particularly agility, explosive power, and muscular strength, show significant correlations with playing ability. The findings of this study have implications for talent identification, training program development, and performance enhancement strategies in women's volleyball. This article concludes with recommendations for coaches and sports scientists on incorporating specific motor fitness assessments into routine training for optimizing player performance.

 Abstract

Inclusive education focuses on providing equal learning opportunities to all students, including those with disabilities or from diverse backgrounds. Its goal is to ensure that every learner feels valued, supported, and able to participate fully in a regular classroom. It emphasizes respect for diversity, social inclusion, and the development of each student's potential. Teachers are at the heart of inclusive education. They are responsible for creating a welcoming environment, adjusting teaching strategies to meet varied needs, and working closely with families, special educators, and the broader community. Through their efforts, teachers help foster a classroom culture based on empathy, cooperation, and mutual respect. For inclusion to be effective, certain measures must be in place. These include curriculum adjustments, use of assistive tools, and the creation of Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). Regular training and professional development are also crucial to help teachers support all learners effectively. Involvement from families and community networks adds further strength to this approach. However, challenges such as a lack of resources, large class sizes, and limited teacher training can hinder progress. Addressing these issues with better support and awareness is essential. Inclusive education is a powerful step toward equality and meaningful learning for every student.

 Abstract

This article would like to show a blueprint of Sufistic culture by exploring their theory, beliefs and religious practices which spread out all the corners of Indian land in about 7th century A.D. onwards. The research employs Sufism is a popular sect which has developed as a separate mystico-philosophical or spiritual tradition of Isl?m, but not a separate religion like Isl?m. The study further recommends that Sufism is a process of the purity of heart and also is a process that amplifies unconditional love towards all classes of men. Many Sufi saints came into India by using both sea and silk routes from other countries (especially from Arabian and Persian) of the globe to preach the religious practices like Isl?m. In the course of doing this, the Sufi saints had to make some rules or directions i.e. Silsilahs or Orders for maintaining a good relation all over the masses. The study highlights each Silsilah or Order has several Khanqahs which mainly provide social service to all without any discrimination of caste, creed and religion. Thus the findings indicate that the Sufis have been building up a strong brotherhood and communal harmony among Indian people throughout the centuries.

 Abstract

India's irrigation system has long been a cornerstone of the country's agrarian economy, integral to ensuring food security, supporting livelihoods, and driving rural economic development. The importance of irrigation is especially evident in a country like India, where agriculture is still the largest sector of the economy, contributing significantly to GDP and providing employment to over half of the workforce. Despite the heavy reliance on the monsoon season, irrigation has emerged as a critical countermeasure against the unpredictability of rainfall, making it essential for stable agricultural production. This research explores the evolution and significance of India's irrigation infrastructure, its challenges, and its contributions to the Indian economy. Specifically, it delves into how irrigation influences agricultural productivity, rural employment, and overall economic growth, particularly in the context of a rapidly growing population and escalating water scarcity issues. The study also examines the state of current irrigation infrastructure, identifying gaps and future prospects for development. By reviewing relevant literature, case studies, and existing policies, the paper outlines both the positive and negative outcomes of irrigation systems, providing valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders involved in India's agricultural and water resource management sectors.

 Abstract

There is a demand for resilient building designing due to the increase in natural disasters. Traditional building approaches are inadequate for these natural disasters. The purpose of resiliency building designing is to not only prevent structural loss during extreme events but also to ensure rapid recovery of functionality and reduce economic disruption and preserve human lives. The paper presents comprehensive investigation on the principle, scheme, and invention that underpin resilient structure. Disaster-specific designing schemes include earthquakes, floods, fire resistant isolation systems, flood-elevated structures, aerodynamic building form. Smart self-healing material, Building Information Modeling (BIM)-integrated disaster simulation, and real time structural wellness monitoring are some of the technologies explored in the paper. Green substructure, renewable free energy system, and low carbon building material are seen as a key nerve pathway to a future-proof city. The benefit and lesson learned from real-world application of resilient designing are shown in this research. Higher upfront cost, insurance policy gap, and public awareness deficit are some of the critical challenges. Performance-based codes, technological invention, and community of interests-driven preparation reinforcement resiliency as an embedded rule of building designing. Future direction suggests a growing function for artificial intelligence service, adaptive material and urban resiliency model in shaping disaster resiliency.
