 Abstract

Community participation has been identified as a fundamental requirement for the promotion and attainment of sustainable tourism development. However, the involvement of local communities, especially those in remote and tribal areas, in the planning, governance, and decision-making processes related to tourism is generally limited, despite the increasing importance of tourism as a source of income. The present study aims at identifying the major economic, sociocultural, institutional, infrastructural, and skill-related barriers to community participation in tourism development in the tribal regions of Kinnaur and Spiti of Himachal Pradesh, India. A mixed-method research approach was adopted in the present study, and primary data were collected from 250 local community members through structured questionnaires. The results indicate that the five most important obstacles to community participation in tourism development in the study area are the lack of professional skills and training in tourism, lack of financial support, seasonality of tourism income, exclusion of local communities from tourism planning and decision-making, and the domination of the tourism sector by elites. The study recommends the need for authorities to undertake appropriate tourism policymaking to reduce these barriers.

Pain is one of the most common and distressing symptoms experienced by hospitalized children. Despite advancements in pediatric healthcare, pain in children often remains under-recognized and inadequately managed because of developmental differences, communication barriers, and misconceptions regarding children's perception of pain. Effective pain assessment and management are essential components of quality pediatric nursing care, as uncontrolled pain can negatively affect physiological stability, emotional well-being, recovery, and long-term development. Pediatric nurses play a pivotal role in assessing, monitoring, documenting, and managing pain through evidence-based pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions while advocating for child- and family-centered care. This article reviews the concept of pediatric pain, common pain assessment tools, nursing responsibilities, pharmacological and complementary pain management strategies, challenges in pediatric pain management, and recommendations for improving nursing practice. A multidisciplinary and family-centered approach supported by continuous education and standardized protocols can significantly improve pain outcomes among hospitalized children.

 Abstract

Early childhood, spanning from birth to eight years of age, is a critical period for physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development. During this phase, appropriate healthcare interventions significantly influence a child's lifelong health and well-being. Pediatric nurses play a central role in promoting optimal growth and development through health assessment, developmental surveillance, parental education, nutrition counseling, immunization, early identification of developmental delays, and family-centered care. They collaborate with multidisciplinary healthcare teams to ensure comprehensive care and advocate for policies that improve child health outcomes. Pediatric nurses also contribute to preventive healthcare by educating caregivers about hygiene, breastfeeding, complementary feeding, injury prevention, and psychosocial support. Advances in developmental screening tools and evidence-based nursing practices have strengthened the pediatric nurse's role in early intervention programs. This article explores the multifaceted responsibilities of pediatric nurses in promoting early childhood growth and development, emphasizing evidence-based strategies and the importance of family-centered nursing care. Strengthening pediatric nursing services can substantially reduce childhood morbidity and mortality while fostering healthy developmental trajectories.

 Abstract

The usage of digital teaching-learning platforms in education has become an indispensable part of modern educational practices. In India, the Ministry of Education has launched the DIKSHA platform, which serves as a national digital hub for online teaching-learning resources such as e-content, training modules, and assessment materials. Despite its widespread availability, the DIKSHA platform's scope and level of awareness among learners continue to be an important research topic. The current study looks at DIKSHA platform awareness among secondary school students with an emphasis on male and female students. The descriptive and survey study designs were used to investigate students' understanding of DIKSHA's objectives, features, and resources. The study's findings show that the majority of students are highly aware of the availability of e-content and learning opportunities. However, there is relatively low level of awareness regarding the availability of evaluation tools and professional development courses. Furthermore, female students have demonstrated greater awareness than their male counterparts. The report suggests that well-designed, structured, and targeted awareness programs along with ongoing training in digital activities, are required to enhance students' understanding of the DIKSHA platform. The current study also provides useful insights for policymakers, educational planners, and institutions seeking to develop digital teaching-learning activities align with the objectives of National Education Policy 2020.

 Abstract

Despite the worldwide movement toward including people with disabilities, disability is frequently viewed through a "single-axis" lens. This perspective fails to acknowledge the "hierarchy of suffering," where individuals with disabilities encounter compounded oppression resulting from intersecting identities. This research explores the "Matrix of Marginality," analyzing how disability interacts with gender, caste, and socioeconomic status to create distinct forms of systemic exclusion. It also aims to determine how these identities influence access to essential resources and to suggest a comprehensive framework for inclusive policy development. Ultimately, this study offers a model for comprehending disability as a dynamic and socially stratified experience in the Global South.

Mental health is a vital component of overall health and significantly influences students' academic achievement, interpersonal relationships, and quality of life. College students experience numerous academic, social, financial, and emotional challenges that increase their vulnerability to mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, and substance misuse. Despite the growing prevalence of psychological disorders among young adults, mental health literacy remains inadequate, and stigma often prevents students from seeking professional help. Psychoeducation is an evidence-based educational intervention that enhances awareness, promotes healthy coping strategies, reduces stigma, and encourages timely help-seeking behaviors. This article reviews the importance of psychoeducation in improving mental health awareness among college students, discusses common mental health issues affecting this population, explores barriers to mental healthcare, and highlights the role of educational institutions and nursing professionals in promoting psychological well-being. Various psychoeducational approaches, including classroom teaching, peer support, digital interventions, workshops, mindfulness training, and counseling services, are discussed. The article concludes that comprehensive psychoeducation integrated into college health programs can significantly improve mental health literacy, strengthen resilience, reduce stigma, and foster a supportive campus environment.

 Abstract

Cultural competence is an essential component of quality mental health nursing care. Mental health nurses work with individuals from diverse cultural, ethnic, religious, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, making culturally sensitive care fundamental to achieving positive patient outcomes. Cultural beliefs significantly influence patients' perceptions of mental illness, help-seeking behavior, communication styles, treatment adherence, and recovery processes. A lack of cultural competence may lead to misdiagnosis, ineffective communication, stigma, and healthcare disparities. Holistic mental health nursing integrates physical, psychological, emotional, social, spiritual, and cultural dimensions of care to address the unique needs of each patient. This article discusses the concept of cultural competence, theoretical frameworks, barriers, strategies for culturally competent practice, the role of mental health nurses, challenges, and future directions. The article emphasizes evidence-based nursing interventions that promote culturally safe, patient-centered, and holistic mental health care. Strengthening cultural competence through education, reflective practice, organizational support, and policy development can significantly improve mental health outcomes and patient satisfaction.

 Abstract

Migration has become an important demographic and economic process in Uttarakhand, especially in its Himalayan districts. Large-scale temporary and permanent out-migration has changed rural livelihoods and settlement patterns. This study looks at the patterns, causes, and social and economic effects of migration in the state using secondary data from census records, government reports, and existing literature. The findings show that migration mainly happens because of limited job options, low agricultural productivity, land fragmentation, insufficient education and health services, poor infrastructure, and growing human-wildlife conflict in the hills. Meanwhile, urban centers attract people due to better job opportunities. Migration has led to rural depopulation, an increase in partially abandoned villages, labor shortages, and more women taking on agricultural roles in the hills. At the same time, remittances from migrants are important for supporting household incomes and reducing economic risks. The study points out that migration in Uttarakhand highlights long-standing regional development gaps. It stresses the need for specific development strategies for the hills to tackle the root causes and encourage sustainable economic growth.

This critical study evaluates the status of inclusive education for rural girls at the primary education level in India (Classes I-V) in direct relation to Sustainable Development Goal 4.5 (SDG 4.5). Utilizing secondary quantitative data from Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+) reports covering 2021-22 through 2024-25, alongside national educational policy frameworks, this paper analyzes national performance trends across three core indicators: primary level enrollment, Gender Parity Index (GPI), and dropout rates. The empirical analysis reveals a gradual decrease in overall primary enrollment from 12.18 crore in 2021-22 to 10.44 crore in 2024-25, primarily driven by demographic transitions and enhanced student tracking under UDISE+. Concurrently, the Gender Parity Index consistently remained above parity (1.03 to 1.05), reflecting substantial structural progress in girls' educational access. However, dropout rates exhibited temporary fluctuations (peaking at 7.8% before stabilizing near 0.0%-0.3%), underscoring persistent socio-economic, infrastructural, and cultural vulnerabilities in rural areas. The study concludes that achieving complete inclusion under SDG 4.5 requires sustained, targeted interventions, including gender-segregated sanitation, financial incentives, community engagement, and gender-responsive pedagogy.

This paper explores the social life of the Nagas as depicted in the Nilamata Purana, focusing on their evolving relationship with humans and their role in shaping the cultural and social foundations of early Kashmir. Rather than viewing the Nagas as purely mythological entities, the study examines their active participation in the region's sacred geography and community development. Through narratives involving figures such as Jalodbhava, Candradeva, and King Nila, the text reveals how the Nagas mediated between divine will and human need, gradually enabling a shift from conflict to coexistence. The paper also investigates the social organization of the Naga community, as evidenced by extensive genealogical records and leadership hierarchies, suggesting a structured and functioning society. Themes of hospitality, spiritual authority, and cosmic regulation emerge throughout the text, reflecting the Nagas' significance beyond myth. The research highlights the Nilamata Purana not only as a religious text but also as a valuable source for understanding the cultural memory and early societal imagination of Kashmir, where the Nagas served as both symbols and agents of social order, environmental guardianship, and ritual continuity.

In Comprehending the essence of Humanity believed to be transpired into the Cyborg world. This paper will establish the social construct of evolution in humans which has been pictured, believed and assimilated in today's world of Technology. By exploring the Cyborg world presented by Donna J. Haraway, in her works such as 'A Cyborg Manifesto', 'Simians, Cyborgs and women' and 'when species meet', these works will elicit the reality of a future we are living in now, wherein we are perceived and identified as Cyborgs. This reality enabled by scientific advancements entail all realms of our existence, such as political, social, religious and cultural, that can be influenced and affected by this approach. My argument gravitates towards the optimistic approaches along with philosophical notions in order to salvage the possibility of a humane Technoculture in today's world and the future. Donna J Haraway's essay is pregnant with hypothetical question of a world of Cyborgs and in the ways it's going to blur the boundaries between man and the machine and man and animal. And hence, essentially breaking these boundaries could be the solution to a humane Technoculture.

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Breast milk is the perfect food for human infants. It is markedly different from, and uniquely superior to, artificial baby milk. Superiority of human milk is due to its superior nutritive and protective value. It provides total nutrient requirement for the first six months of life. It also prevents malnutrition and allows the child to develop fully. But when there is not enough mother's milk available due to some reasons like mother has insufficient milk glands, has had past breast surgery or is taking medication (eg: chemotherapy for cancer) and has an infection that could spread to her baby through breast feeding. For these babies an alternative must be sought. Breast milk is the main source of food for the baby, which is necessary for its growth and development. every mother looks forwards for a healthy baby. Breastfeeding also allows mother and baby to bond emotionally. WHO Recommended exclusive breastfeeding for first 6 months and continue till two years of age along with weaning. Background of the study: - Breast milk that has been expressed, pasteurized and stored in sterilized conditions is safe and healthy for babies. The milk in the human milk bank is collected from donor mothers on the third day after giving birth, if they fulfil certain safety criteria that have been set by the hospital. The milk bank has one refrigerator, one sterilizer and two pasteurizers. The steel containers are washed and sterilized in the sterilizer. The containers are then sent for collection of milk. The technician washes her hands, and labels the containers. The milk is pasteurized in the pasteurizer for half an hour at the prescribed temperature. A sample is taken and sent to microbiology department for testing for infections. After the report comes the milk is stored in the freezer at -20 degrees C. Milk thus collected can be stored for 3 to 6 months in prescribed conditions. Objectives of the study: - To assess the pretest knowledge regarding Human milk Banking among the postnatal mothers at selected rural area. To assess the effectiveness of information booklet on knowledge regarding human milk banking among the postnatal mothers at selected rural area. To determine the association between post-test knowledge scores & demographic variables among the postnatal mothers at selected rural area. Methodology: - A study was conducted on 60 among postnatal mothers a Quasi- experimental, one-group-pretest-post-test research design at selected area rural areas and the samples for the study were selected by using convenient sampling method. A tool was prepared to assess the effectiveness of informational booklet on knowledge regarding human milk banking among postnatal mothers which was divided into two parts i.e., Part 1 of demographic data and part 2 of structured questionnaire regarding knowledge on human milk bank. The content validity was done by various experts and the reliability of the tool was obtained by using Parallel Form method of reliability. A pilot study was conducted on 06 samples to check the feasibility of the study, and it was found to be feasible to conduct main study. The final data for main study was collected over 60 samples. Result: - in this study, At the time of pre-test, 35% of the postnatal mothers had poor knowledge, 61.67% of the mothers had average knowledge and 3.33% of them had good knowledge regarding human milk banking. Then post-test, no one of the postnatal mothers had poor knowledge, 28.33% of the mothers had average knowledge and 71.67% of them had good knowledge regarding human milk banking. Which, signifies the positive difference between the pretest and post-test. Conclusion: - This Study concludes that informational booklet is helpful to improve knowledge regarding human milk banking among postnatal mothers in selected rural areas.

Spiritual care has always been central to pastoral ministry, yet pastoral leadership today also includes increasing organisational and administrative responsibilities. This study examines whether Spiritual Care and Growth functions as a marker of effective pastoral leadership by exploring the perceptions of pastors and congregants regarding ministry effectiveness. A convergent mixed-method design was used, involving 28 pastors and 336 congregants through structured questionnaires, together with semi-structured interviews with retired senior pastors. The analysis indicates that Spiritual Care and Growth emerged as the strongest indicator of ministry effectiveness. It also received the highest rating from the congregants and was the only leadership dimension in which congregants rated pastors higher than pastors rated themselves. Taken together, the findings suggest that congregants understand pastoral leadership primarily through spiritual care, guidance, pastoral presence and relational involvement rather than through organisational responsibilities alone. The findings further suggest that spiritual care remains central to effective pastoral leadership, while organisational and administrative responsibilities fulfil their purpose when they support the church's pastoral ministry of nurturing, guiding and caring for God's people.

आध्यात्मिक संगीत मानव सभ्यता की सबसे प्राचीन और समृद्ध सांस्कृतिक परंपराओं में से एक है, जिसने सदियों से मनुष्य के मानसिक, भावनात्मक, सामाजिक और आध्यात्मिक विकास में महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई है। भारतीय दर्शन में संगीत को केवल मनोरंजन का साधन नहीं माना गया, बल्कि इसे आत्मा और परमात्मा के मध्य संवाद स्थापित करने वाला एक प्रभावशाली माध्यम स्वीकार किया गया है। वैदिक परंपरा में "नाद-ब्रह्म" की अवधारणा इस तथ्य को स्पष्ट करती है कि सम्पूर्ण सृष्टि ध्वनि और स्पंदन पर आधारित है तथा संगीत मनुष्य को उसकी आंतरिक चेतना से जोड़ने की क्षमता रखता है। भजन, कीर्तन, गुरमत संगीत, सूफी संगीत, मंत्रोच्चारण तथा ध्यान-संगीत जैसी विभिन्न आध्यात्मिक संगीत परंपराएँ व्यक्ति के अंतर्मन को शांति, संतुलन और सकारात्मक ऊर्जा प्रदान करती हैं। प्रस्तुत शोध-पत्र में आध्यात्मिक संगीत की अवधारणा, उसकी ऐतिहासिक पृष्ठभूमि, विभिन्न स्वरूपों तथा मानव जीवन पर उसके बहुआयामी प्रभावों का विस्तृत अध्ययन किया गया है। अध्ययन का मुख्य उद्देश्य यह स्पष्ट करना है कि आध्यात्मिक संगीत किस प्रकार व्यक्ति के मानसिक तनाव, चिंता और अवसाद को कम करने में सहायक सिद्ध होता है तथा उसके नैतिक, सामाजिक और आध्यात्मिक मूल्यों के विकास में योगदान देता है। इसके अतिरिक्त, शोध-पत्र में यह भी विश्लेषित किया गया है कि आध्यात्मिक संगीत ध्यान, योग और आत्म-साक्षात्कार की प्रक्रियाओं को किस प्रकार सुदृढ़ करता है। यह अध्ययन वर्णनात्मक एवं विश्लेषणात्मक शोध-पद्धति पर आधारित है, जिसके अंतर्गत प्राचीन धार्मिक ग्रंथों, संगीतशास्त्रीय साहित्य, आधुनिक शोध-पत्रों तथा मनोवैज्ञानिक अध्ययनों का उपयोग किया गया है। विभिन्न विद्वानों के मतों के आधार पर यह निष्कर्ष प्राप्त हुआ है कि आध्यात्मिक संगीत व्यक्ति के मस्तिष्क में सकारात्मक परिवर्तन उत्पन्न करता है, भावनात्मक संतुलन स्थापित करता है तथा जीवन के प्रति सकारात्मक दृष्टिकोण विकसित करने में सहायता प्रदान करता है। इसके अतिरिक्त, यह सामाजिक समरसता, सांस्कृतिक एकता तथा मानवीय मूल्यों के संरक्षण में भी महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाता है। आधुनिक युग में बढ़ते भौतिकवाद, प्रतिस्पर्धा, तनाव और मानसिक विकारों के कारण आध्यात्मिक संगीत की प्रासंगिकता और भी अधिक बढ़ गई है। वर्तमान समय में संगीत-चिकित्सा, योग, ध्यान और मानसिक स्वास्थ्य कार्यक्रमों में आध्यात्मिक संगीत का व्यापक रूप से प्रयोग किया जा रहा है। यह न केवल व्यक्ति को आत्मिक शांति प्रदान करता है, बल्कि उसे आत्म-चिंतन, आत्म-अनुभूति और परम चेतना की ओर भी प्रेरित करता है। अतः यह कहा जा सकता है कि आध्यात्मिक संगीत मानव जीवन के सर्वांगीण विकास का एक सशक्त माध्यम है, जो व्यक्ति के मानसिक, सामाजिक और आध्यात्मिक उत्थान में अत्यंत महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान देता है तथा उसे जीवन के वास्तविक उद्देश्य और आंतरिक सत्य की अनुभूति कराने में सहायता प्रदान करता है।
