The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Modern Classrooms: Benefits, Barriers, and Responsible Adoption
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing contemporary educational practices by enabling data-driven instruction, personalized learning experiences, and automated academic support systems. Technologies such as intelligent tutoring systems, adaptive learning platforms, and AI-based assessment tools have the potential to enhance student engagement, improve learning outcomes, and support teachers in instructional decision-making. However, alongside these benefits, the integration of AI in classroom settings presents significant challenges, including concerns related to algorithmic bias, academic integrity, data privacy, unequal access to technology, and limited teacher preparedness. This review paper critically analyses existing research on the role of AI in education, examining both its opportunities and associated risks. The paper further discusses ethical, responsible, and context-sensitive strategies for effective AI implementation in classrooms. By addressing pedagogical, ethical, and institutional considerations, the study aims to support educators, policymakers, and stakeholders in leveraging AI to create inclusive, equitable, and meaningful learning environments suited to the demands of 21st-century education.

Principle of Non-Refoulement and Indian Judiciary: an Analysis
Abstract
India has followed vasudhaiva kutumbakam since time immemorial. In 1959, India gave refuge to Dalai Lama with of his one lakh followers. During Pakistan-Bangladesh War approximately 1 crore refugees came to India. India has accepted refugees from various neighbouring countries like Rohingya from Myanmar, Sri Lankan Tamils from Sri Lanka, Chakma from Bangladesh etc. Till 2023, 46569 refugees were registered with UNHRC in India. India has not signed Convention Relating to Status of Refugees 1951 and its Protocol, 1967 still India follows its core principle of non-refoulement by not deporting refugees where they have fear of persecution due to religion, race, membership of a particular social group, nationality, or political opinion. Constitution of India provides various fundamental rights to both citizens and non citizens, ranging from right to life, liberty, equality, etc. By various judicial pronouncements Indian judiciary has read principle of non-refoulement into Article 21. Recently in the case of Mohammad Salimullah vs Union of India, 2021 Supreme Court held that “the right not to be deported, is ancillary or concomitant to the right to reside or settle in any part of the territory of India guaranteed under Article 19(1)(e)”. In this article the authors will dive deep into the principle of non-refoulement from perspective of Indian Judiciary.

Prevalence of Mental Health Problems among Students: A Systematic Review
Abstract
Objectives: Research suggests that children and adolescents are more prone to experience mental health problems, and if it remains undetected, it can badly affect their adulthood. This systematic review aimed to identify the prevalence of mental health problems among students.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Only English articles were searched in Google Scholar, PubMed, and ERIC.
Results: 85 studies were included, covering all the prevalent mental health problems of the students over the last 12 years (2012-2023). Depression and anxiety were the most common mental health problems. The prevalence of depression ranged from 6.2% to 99.2%, and anxiety from 5.2% to 76.7%. Robust prevalence estimation of other MHPs could not be possible because of the minimal number of reports. Additionally, students belonging to developing countries were more likely to suffer from MHPs than the developed countries.
Conclusion: Research on mental health problems of the students mainly focuses on anxiety and depression, leaving important gaps concerning other MHPs. Distinct terminologies, diagnostic criteria, and assessment tools hinder the comparability of outcomes across studies. Further studies should concentrate on using standardized assessment tools and expand their scope to more MHPs.
Keywords: Mental health problems, students, prevalence, systematic review

Role of Media in Shaping Political Awareness in Arunachal Pradesh: A Literature-Based Analysis
Abstract
Media plays a pivotal role in shaping political awareness and democratic participation in contemporary societies. In geographically remote and culturally diverse regions such as Arunachal Pradesh, media influence assumes particular importance in connecting citizens with political institutions and national discourse. This study examines the role of traditional and digital media in shaping political awareness in Arunachal Pradesh through a qualitative analysis based on secondary data and an extensive review of existing literature. The paper explores the historical evolution of media in the state, patterns of media consumption, the role of media in political socialization and electoral participation, and the challenges posed by algorithmic mediation, misinformation, and regulation. The findings reveal that while media has expanded political awareness and civic engagement, its impact remains uneven due to infrastructural disparities, digital divides, and framing biases. The study concludes by emphasizing the need for context-sensitive media policies, enhanced media literacy, and safeguards for freedom of expression to strengthen democratic processes in the state.

Impact of MGNREGA on Rural Income and Employment in the Basar Area of Leparada District, Arunachal Pradesh
Abstract
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) represents a landmark intervention in India’s rural development strategy by legally guaranteeing wage employment and strengthening livelihood security. In geographically remote and economically vulnerable regions such as Arunachal Pradesh, the programme assumes heightened significance due to limited non-farm employment opportunities and seasonal instability in agricultural income. This study examines the impact of MGNREGA on rural income and employment in the Basar area of Leparada district, using primary survey data collected from beneficiary households. The analysis focuses on employment generation, income security, social inclusion, migration dynamics, and implementation challenges. The findings indicate that MGNREGA has played a stabilizing role in rural livelihoods by providing supplementary income, enhancing employment opportunities for women and weaker sections, and reducing dependence on seasonal migration. However, persistent challenges related to wage delays, planning inefficiencies, and institutional accountability constrain the programme’s effectiveness. The study argues that while MGNREGA functions as an important social safety net in the Basar area, its transformative potential depends on improved governance and local-level implementation.

The Fragile Body as Battlefield: Women, Violence, and Power in The Counting House
Abstract
This paper examines The Counting House as a literary interrogation of how women’s bodies become volatile and contested sites within the entangled structures of indenture, colonial capitalism, and patriarchal authority. The novel is read as a text that positions the body simultaneously as a receptacle of violence and coercion and as a fragile yet vital archive of memory and resistance. Drawing upon the theoretical frameworks of postcolonial feminism, biopolitics, and trauma studies, the analysis foregrounds how economic rationality, masculine humiliation, communal surveillance, and reproductive labor shape conditions of embodied vulnerability. At the same time, the narrative is shown to carve out precarious fissures where agency and subversion may emerge, however fraught or fragile. The paper traces the intersections of direct physical brutality with more insidious symbolic and structural violations, attending to the ways somatic memory and the gendered politics of shame and honor regulate individual and collective life. It argues that the novel not only dramatizes the multiple forms of violence inscribed upon the body but also insists on recognizing corporeality as a living historical text, one that preserves counter-histories of trauma, endurance, and survival. By situating embodiment within both the disciplinary logic of the colonial “counting house” and the disruptive potential of resistant subjectivities, the study illuminates the ambivalent role of the body as at once terrain of domination and medium of historical testimony. Ultimately, the novel compels a rethinking of how literature renders visible the intimate entanglements of power, violence, and human resilience.

Traditional Authority and Conflict Regulation among the Nocte: An Analysis of the Ngoathun System in Arunachal Pradesh
Abstract
In tribal societies across generations, people have governed themselves autonomously through customs, shared authority, and collective responsibility, grounded in historical knowledge and lived experience. Long before formal institutions and codified laws existed, these systems of governance were already in place. The Ngoathun stands as a proud example of this tradition of self-governance among the Nocte. It represents a traditional council and judicial system shaped by ancestral wisdom and sustained through cultural continuity. However, despite its central role within the Nocte community, the Ngoathun remains largely undocumented and has received limited scholarly attention.
This paper seeks to understand traditional authority, its structure and functions, and the ways in which conflicts are resolved and regulated within Nocte society. Drawing upon data from primary sources such as oral narratives and field observations, along with secondary literature, the study highlights the importance of indigenous governance systems.

The Ethics o f Refusal: Abduction, Trauma, and Subaltern Womanhood in n Partition Literature
Abstract
The historical rupture of 1947, often termed as “The Partition of India,” was one of the most grief-stricken and deadly massacres. The legacy of this historical divide generates a profound ethical discomfort whenever discussed, as most of its enduring consequences were disproportionately borne by abducted women, marked with the stigma of impurity and communal disgrace. While post Partition recovery operations sought to retrieve abducted women in the name of national honor and rehabilitation, these efforts frequently resulted in further psychological harm. Drawing on Gayatri Spivak’s Subaltern Theory, this paper examines how marginalized voices, particularly those of abducted women, remain silenced and excluded from dominant narratives, and how this structural invisibility compounds trauma. By placing an unnamed Sikh woman’s testimony from Urvashi Butalia’s The Other Side of Silence in dialogue with Amrita Pritam’s Pinjar, the paper argues that recovery often intensified trauma by forcing women to abandon newly formed familial bonds while denying them meaningful reintegration into their natal communities.. The study concludes by reading Puro’s refusal of recovery not as submission or passivity but as an ethically justified response to irreversible loss and structural abandonment. By foregrounding women’s testimonies and literary representation,the study challenges celebratory narratives of recovery and calls for a rethinking of rehabilitation as a site of continued domination rather than healing.

A Study of Strategy, Organization, and Legacy in the Ahoms’ Military Administration and Wars
Abstract
The Ahom kingdom (1228–1826 CE) represents one of the most lasting and militarily organised states in pre-modern India. This study examines the organization, strategy, and legacy of the Ahom military administration, highlighting how institutional structure and adaptive warfare enabled the dynasty to defend Assam against formidable adversaries, especially the Mughal Empire. The paper investigates the Paik system, the integration of civil and military responsibilities, the hierarchical administrative framework, and the strategic use of river topography in combat. The Battle of Saraighat (1671) and the long-running Ahom–Mughal wars (1616–1682) are two important military incidents that highlight how leaders like Lachit Borphukan came up with innovative strategies and commanded their soldiers. The study investigates the impact of military organization on socio-political integration by integrating diverse ethnic groupings into a centralised state framework. The collapse of the Ahom government is examined in the context of internal insurrections, fragmented administration, an economic crisis, and colonial involvement culminating in the Treaty of Yandabo (1826). This paper contends that the Ahom combat paradigm, when situated within the comprehensive narrative of South Asian military history, amalgamated decentralised manpower mobilisation with strategic central oversight, so creating a distinctive and lasting military framework. . The Ahom legacy offers significant insights into regional state formation, frontier warfare, and the interplay between military organisation and governance in mediaeval Northeast India.

Academic Motivation and Career Aspirations of Undergraduate Students in Tribal Areas
Abstract
The transition to higher education represents a critical phase in shaping academic motivation, career orientations, and life trajectories, especially for students from tribal and geographically peripheral regions. For many, entering undergraduate education signifies not only academic advancement but also an escape from historically limited educational and occupational opportunities. This study examines students’ academic motivation, clarity of career goals, perceptions of institutional support, and evolving future aspirations, highlighting how higher education functions as both an aspirational space and a site of negotiation between ambition and structural constraints.
Using primary survey data collected through structured questionnaires, the study analyses how socio-economic challenges, institutional environments, and exposure to higher education shape students’ outlook towards careers. Quantitative responses reveal patterns of motivation, confidence, and alignment between education and career goals, while qualitative insights reflect changing expectations, awareness of career possibilities, and perceived institutional gaps. Together, the data illustrate the uneven yet transformative impact of undergraduate education in tribal contexts.
Findings show a complex interaction between intrinsic motivation, structural limitations, and emerging aspirations. Students display strong motivation and awareness of diverse career pathways, but financial constraints, limited access to resources, and insufficient career guidance often mediate their aspirations. Institutional support—through career guidance, mentoring, digital resources, and financial assistance—emerges as crucial in translating motivation into achievable outcomes.
By centering students’ experiences within broader socio-economic and institutional frameworks, the study contributes to discourse on higher education in tribal regions. It underscores the need for holistic, context-sensitive interventions that go beyond access to address support, guidance, and equity, positioning higher education institutions as key agents in fostering inclusive development and sustainable career outcomes.

Socio-Cultural Determinants of Academic Performance among Undergraduate Students in Tribal Areas
Abstract
Academic performance among undergraduate students in tribal areas is shaped not only by individual aptitude and institutional resources but also by a complex interplay of socio-cultural determinants. Family encouragement, peer support, household responsibilities, participation in cultural practices, and language barriers collectively influence students’ learning experiences and academic outcomes. These factors operate simultaneously as sources of support and as constraints, creating a distinctive educational context for tribal learners. Family support emerges as a crucial motivational force, providing emotional encouragement, guidance, and, in some cases, practical assistance that enables students to persist in their studies. Peer networks also play a significant role by facilitating collaborative learning, information sharing, and mutual academic guidance, particularly in the absence of formal mentoring structures. However, household responsibilities and community obligations often reduce the time available for academic work and contribute to fatigue and stress. Despite these challenges, such responsibilities foster important qualities such as discipline, resilience, time management, and a sense of responsibility, which can positively influence academic commitment. Language barriers remain a significant challenge for many tribal students, especially when the medium of instruction differs from their mother tongue. This linguistic gap can hinder comprehension, classroom participation, and academic confidence, underscoring the need for targeted language support mechanisms within higher education institutions. The study further explores the types of assistance students perceive as essential for academic success, including sustained family encouragement, mentorship, emotional support, and greater community awareness regarding the value of higher education. The findings indicate that while socio-cultural expectations may sometimes constrain study routines, they also transmit positive values that enhance motivation and perseverance. Addressing these factors through a holistic and culturally sensitive approach is therefore essential for fostering academic engagement, improving performance, and ensuring the long-term educational success of tribal undergraduate students

Dalits, Christianity, and the Search for Social Mobility in India
Abstract
In order to promote social mobility, this sociological study looks at religious conversion to Christianity among Dalit groups in India. The study makes the case based on historical and contemporary analysis that conversion signified a break from caste hierarchy as well as a route to wealth accumulation through missionary education. However, the existence of caste in Christian institutions and larger Indian culture fundamentally limited this "ladder of mobility" revolutionary potential. A three-tiered theoretical framework is used in the analysis: 1) faith as an ideological weapon. 2) education as capital conversion and 3) limitations as structural reproduction. This study uses historical archives, ethnographic research, and current survey data to show how the Dalit Christian experience is dialectical, experiencing both ongoing marginalization and partial emancipation at the same time. The study advances notions about social mobility, religious conversion, and the extraordinary tenacity of caste as a social system.Keywords: education, caste, religious conversion, social mobility, Dalit Christians.

English as a Prestige Language and Its Impact on Tribal Language Use: A Field-Based Study
Abstract
The increasing dominance of English as a global and national prestige language has significantly reshaped linguistic hierarchies within tribal societies, where language functions as a core marker of identity, cultural continuity, and indigenous knowledge systems. This study examines the role of English in accelerating language shift and ecological imbalance in tribal linguistic contexts, with particular reference to patterns of language use, intergenerational transmission, and community attitudes toward indigenous languages. Drawing on both secondary sources—such as sociolinguistic literature, policy documents, and UNESCO reports—and primary data collected through a field survey of 60 respondents from tribal communities, the study provides an empirically grounded analysis of contemporary language dynamics. The findings indicate that English operates not merely as a communicative tool but as symbolic and socio-economic capital, strongly associated with education, employment, and upward mobility. This prestige has led to a functional redistribution of languages, wherein English dominates formal domains such as schooling and administration, while tribal languages are increasingly confined to domestic and ceremonial spaces. Such domain restriction has weakened intergenerational transmission and diminished the perceived value of indigenous languages, particularly among younger generations. The study argues that the unchecked expansion of English threatens the sustainability of tribal linguistic ecosystems by marginalizing indigenous languages and eroding culturally embedded knowledge systems. It concludes by emphasizing the need for ecologically balanced language policies, mother tongue–based multilingual education, and community-driven revitalization initiatives to ensure that linguistic modernization does not come at the cost of cultural and linguistic diversity.

Insights from Ancient Indian Education: Fostering Skills and Values for Holistic Development
Abstract
The purpose of education is to protect and nurture a child’s mind and not mere academic excellence. Moreover, in the present scenario, education should aim to prepare a child for life through accomplishment of an intelligent, self- disciplined and resilient mind. Several research studies have highlighted the need of enriching the quality of education system. Considering the mental, physical and emotional well-being of students, New Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is targeting on holistic development by imparting 21st century skills in each learner which a major role in witnessing an era of intense global transformation. Ancient Indian education system (AIES) involved the best teaching learning practices and stands globally high and noble which aimed on cultivation of character, personality development since it was skill and value based. Therefore, this paper aims to revisit some of the major teaching learning practices of ancient Indian educational system that could be focused for imbibing life skills and values considering the practical applicability to improve the quality of present educational system.

Impact of Modernisation on Local Ecology: A Case Study of Upper Subansiri District, Arunachal Pradesh.
Abstract
Modernisation has increasingly shaped development trajectories in ecologically sensitive regions of India, particularly in the hill districts of the North-East. Upper Subansiri District of Arunachal Pradesh represents a fragile socio-ecological landscape where infrastructure expansion and changing livelihood patterns have intensified interactions between development and the natural environment. This study examines the impact of modernisation on local ecology through a primary survey-based analysis, focusing on community perceptions of environmental change. The research is based on data collected through structured questionnaires comprising both closed-ended and open-ended questions. The study explores key ecological dimensions, including forest degradation, changes in water resources, wildlife disturbance, landslides, and the transformation of traditional ecological practices. Findings indicate that a majority of respondents perceive significant environmental changes linked to modernisation, particularly due to road construction, village expansion, and increased use of non-biodegradable materials. Forest loss and fragmentation have contributed to declining availability of forest-based resources, while drying of natural springs and pollution of small streams have intensified water insecurity. Increased soil erosion and landslides during the monsoon further reflect ecological instability in the region. The study also reveals a shift in community dependence on forests, driven not by ecological recovery but by reduced access and changing consumption patterns. Respondents expressed concerns regarding the environmental sustainability of current development models and emphasized the need for community-based forest management, planned construction, and stricter environmental regulation. Overall, the findings highlight the cumulative and interconnected nature of ecological impacts resulting from modernisation and underscore the importance of integrating local knowledge and participatory approaches into development planning in ecologically fragile regions.

A Study on the Relation between Teacher Burnout and Teacher Effectiveness among the Private College Teachers of Assam
Abstract
The current study examines the connection between teacher effectiveness and burnout among private college teachers in the Nagaon district, Assam. High workloads, administrative requirements, and stress related to the job are frequently linked to teaching in private higher education institutions. These factors can lead to burnout and have an impact on teaching effectiveness. A quantitative descriptive-correlational research design was used in the investigation. Using the random selection technique, 105 teachers from 5 private colleges in the Nagaon district were chosen as a sample. The Teacher Effectiveness Scale by Dr. Shallu Puri and S.C. Gakhar was used to measure teacher effectiveness, while the Teacher Burnout Scale by Madhu Gupta and Surekha Rani was used to measure burnout. The link between the variables and their dimensions was investigated using Pearson's Product Moment Correlation. The results showed a strong inverse association between teacher effectiveness and burnout, suggesting that reduced teaching effectiveness is linked to higher levels of burnout. Effectiveness was positively correlated with personal achievement but adversely correlated with depersonalisation and emotional tiredness. The study highlights the necessity of stress management techniques, professional development initiatives, and institutional interventions in order to lower burnout and improve teacher effectiveness at private colleges.

History, Memory and Trauma: Writing Against Erasure in Han Kang’s Human Acts
Abstract
This paper explores how Han Kang in her novel Human Acts (2014) writes against historical erasure of the Gwangju massacre perpetrated by the state in May 1980. This paper argues that this novel is an attempt to subvert the official historiography of the Gwangju massacre and bring to light the truth about state brutality legitimized in the name of subduing communist involvement from North Korea. The narrative centres around different characters whose lives become inextricably entangled during those fateful days leading to the eventual suppression of the protest through extreme violence by the army. I will also argue that the characters resist official historiography by telling their own history through individual and collective remembrances. The novel critiques the wilful negligence of the then governing officials to acknowledge the violent atrocities committed against the people of Gwangju during the 1980 democratization movement, and the absence of the so called ‘conscience” in these perpetrators. This paper will also argue that the novel is a reminder of the deepest wounds of history and to never forget, considering the contemporary South Korean Political scenario. I will also argue that the characters, including the writer are resilient against violence and injustice through their own separate individual efforts. The novel tells a profound story of resilience, human empathy and resistance against state brutality.

Muslim Women’s Education in Colonial India
Abstract
The education of Muslim women in colonial India came out at the point of interaction between the imperial education policy, community reform, and the socio-cultural standards. The literature in the wider fields of disciplinary colonial history, gender studies and sociology of education is that access to education among Muslim women was defined by disproportionate interactions with Western knowledge, religious traditions, and competing imaginings of modernity. The fundamental issue discussed in the academic literature is the relentless marginalisation of Muslim women in colonial educational systems, even though the institutions and reformist practises have been extended in the nineteenth and the first part of the twentieth centuries. Basing on literature-based and analytical studies, the reviewed materials show that colonial policies inclined themselves to pay more attention to communal considerations, elite interests, and supported gendered expectations according to which women received education that was limited to domesticity, moral training, and controlled literacy. Simultaneously, Muslim reformers and women activists bargained these restrictions by carefully pushing schooling, women institutions, and curriculum changes, which were in keeping with the religious and cultural standards. The case studies conducted in the region, especially those conducted in Bengal and North India, underscore the fact that the discussions on purdah, law, as well as the identity of the community directly affected the educational attendance and performance. All in all, the literature indicates that the educational experiences of the colonial times were crucial in the social positioning and identity formation of Muslim women as well as their future empowerment patterns. The historical knowledge offers a critical interpretive perspective of inequalities faced by Muslim women in South Asian education today.
