 Abstract

Woman in the male dominated society has always been suppressed and marginalised. Specially in a middle-class Indian society, the woman's individual preferences are unheard and unrecognized. They have to remain 'silent' as their sole duty is to oblige the norms and rules imposed on them by the patriarchy. They are the victims of the exploitation and the violence of the man. Shashi Deshpande in her writings very minutely depicts the miserable condition of the woman in this Indian society. She gave the voice to the voiceless and has presented the inner psyche that has always remains unexpressed.

Gender equality and women's empowerment are critical imperatives for achieving sustainable development and inclusive growth in India. Education plays a central role in advancing gender equality by empowering women with knowledge, skills, and opportunities for socio-economic advancement. This research article aims to explore the multifaceted relationship between education and the empowerment of women in India. This paper examines the role of education in women's empowerment in India, drawing on empirical evidence and scholarly research to explore key findings, challenges, and future directions. Despite progress made in promoting girls' education, significant gender disparities persist, particularly in access to quality education, retention rates, and learning outcomes. Socio-cultural norms, economic constraints, infrastructure deficits, and safety concerns continue to pose barriers to girls' education and women's empowerment. However, successful initiatives such as Project Nanhi Kali, Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) Scheme, and Educate Girls demonstrate the transformative impact of targeted interventions and community engagement in promoting girls' education and empowering women. Future research should adopt an intersectional approach, conduct longitudinal studies, and rigorously evaluate the impact of interventions to inform evidence-based policy action. Recommendations include addressing structural barriers, adopting empowerment approaches, fostering multi-stakeholder partnerships, and enhancing data collection and monitoring systems. By prioritizing these recommendations, India can build on existing progress and accelerate efforts towards achieving greater gender equality and women's empowerment, thereby unlocking the full potential of its human capital and fostering inclusive development.

The paper will focus on journey. And this journey is the journey of love of the protagonists of Kalidasa's classical drama, 'Abhijnana Shakuntalam' and William Wordsworth's Famous poem, 'Tintern Abbey'. It is a journey from union to re-union of the lovers, and it gets over three stages of love- Infatuation,Commitment and Spiritualism. These three stages always remind me the three states of mind as stated in the poem 'Tintern Abbey' by William Wordsworth, where the poet discusses the journey of mind- from ignorance to maturity, from physical to spiritual, from subjective to objective, from local to the universal. My target in this paper is to make a comparative study between the poem 'Tintern Abbey' and the drama'Abhijnana Shakuntalam' on the basis of the journey of love of the protagonists.

 Abstract

With the start of financial sector reforms in India during 1990's, the process of globalization and liberalization had started. The concept of corporate governance came into existence all across the globe during that time. Corporate governance in banking is different from other forms of business, as it deals with the money of investors and public at large and important to the economy. Banking has its linkages with the real sector and provides a payments and settlement system in the financial system of the economy. Therefore, Reserve Bank and the government has been continuously trying to improve the state of governance in banking sector by introducing specific Acts and set of guidelines / instructions issued time to time. Corporate governance practices need to be constantly evaluated due to uncertain and complex business environment. Corporate governance norms have primarily focused on the higher responsibility, accountability, transparency, quality, tighter regulation for the board of directors and the increase in shareholders' contribution. The aim of this paper is to provide an insight into the existing corporate governance practices in the banks in India. The present paper analyses the major corporate governance initiatives and guidelines provided by the RBI and other authorities with the areas of concerns.

 Abstract

The awakening of new master morality consciousness in a modern slave is the beginning of subaltern assertion in all walks of mainstream society in India. This new realization provides subalterns with a level playing field in a social milieu, which shows how their tit-for-tat spirit helps them to actualize their dream of being a master in society. To become a master, Arvind Adiga's protagonist uses an Nietzschean "will to power" approach. In Adiga's novel, The White Tiger (2008), it could be found that the hegemonic social structure always helps masters to control and maintain their exploitative social setup, Adiga calls it - "the rooster coop", in which all subservient slaves are trapped. This trap allows masters to implicate extreme pain in the lives of the oppressed and use their slaves as objects. The rise of a new master from such a coop is only possible if the effects of slave morality in the oppressed decline and they develop the will-to-power spirit in their lives. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) is a German iconoclast who shook the traditional conformist thinking with his popular statement- "God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him" to make a way to develop the full potential of a human being through his concept of "Overman" and the "Will to Power". The overtones of Nietzsche's concept of "Overman" and "the Will to Power" could be traced in the life journey of Adiga's protagonist Balram Halwai and his rise from rags to riches. The paper examines the implications of Nietzschean moralistic ideas in Adiga's novel and presents the new avatar of Nietzsche's Overman in Adiga's Balram Halwai and in his aspiration to become a successful entrepreneur.

A bioassay experiment was conducted to examine the effect of alphamethrin on some blood parameters of Channa punctatus. Four concentrations viz. 0.0015625, 0.003125, 0.0125 and 0.025 ppm of alphamethrin were prepared. Lethal value was obtained at 0.025 ppm and all the experimental fish died within 24 hrs. At sublethal concentrations, alphamethrin induced remarkable changes in protein concentration, blood density, bleeding time and clotting time of this fish. Protein concentration was decreased after exposure to 0.0125 ppm alphamethrin for 30 days, while little change was observed in the blood density of fish due to the exposure to alphamethrin, but bleeding times and clotting time were enhanced. The changes became more significant with the increase in concentration of alphamethrin and exposure period. The results suggests that alphamethrin is capable of inducing alterations in the normal haematological values of Channa punctatus. Possible mode of action of alphamethrin in Channa punctatus is discussed.

 Abstract

Insurance occupies an important place in the complex modern world since risk, which can be insured, has increased enormously in every walk of life. This has led to growth in the insurance business and evolution of various types of insurance covers. The insurance sector acts as a mobiliser of savings and a financial intermediary and is also a promoter of investment activities. It can play a significant role in the economic development of a country, while economic development itself can facilitate the growth of the insurance sector. In many developed countries, citizens are to a certain extent protected by social security schemes provided by the government. These schemes offer financial aid to citizens who are eligible on grounds of unemployment, old age, sickness, disability, etc. The social security scenario in India is quite different, having traditionally been the responsibility of the family or community. However, with industrialization, urbanization, breakup of the joint family system and weakening of family bondage, it has become necessary to provide social security arrangements that are institutionalized and regulated by the state rather than the society.
