Assessing SDG 4 in India: An Analysis of Educational Goals, Performance, and Government Initiatives
Abstract
This study analyzes India's progress toward achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 by 2030, focusing on inclusive and equitable quality education. While India, guided by the National Education Policy 2020 and various government initiatives, demonstrates significant commitment and has made notable advancements in areas such as elementary school enrollment, substantial state-level disparities persist. Key challenges include high secondary dropout rates, unmet learning proficiency targets, and unequal educational attainment for vulnerable populations. The digital divide and infrastructure gaps further impede equitable access. This research, based on aggregated secondary data from NITI Aayog, identifies these disparities and highlights the need for targeted, context-specific interventions. The study underscores that sustained, integrated strategies are essential to realize SDG 4's holistic vision across the nation.

महाराजगंज जनपद में जनसंख्या वृद्धि (2001 – 2011) के स्थानिक प्रतिरूप: एक भौगोलिक विश्लेषण
Abstract
यह अध्ययन महाराजगंज जनपद में 2001 से 2011 तक की जनसंख्या वृद्धि के स्थानिक प्रतिरूपों का विश्लेषण करता है। इस अध्ययन में द्वितीयक आँकड़ों का उपयोग करते हुए जनसंख्या घनत्व, साक्षरता दर, लिंगानुपात और दशकीय परिवर्तन को ध्यान में रखा गया। परिणामों से यह स्पष्ट हुआ कि जनसंख्या में 23.5% की वृद्धि हुई, जो राज्य औसत (20.2%) से अधिक है। 2001 में जनसंख्या घनत्व 699 व्यक्ति प्रति वर्ग किलोमीटर था, जो 2011 में बढ़कर 880 व्यक्ति प्रति वर्ग किलोमीटर हो गया, जिससे संसाधनों और बुनियादी सुविधाओं पर दबाव बढ़ा। Z-Score सांख्यिकी के माध्यम से यह पाया गया कि घुघुली और परतावल जैसे विकासखण्डों में जनसंख्या घनत्व औसत से अधिक था, जबकि लक्ष्मीपुर और निचलौल में यह कम था। साक्षरता दर 46.6% से बढ़कर 61.91% हुई, हालांकि यह राज्य औसत (67.7%) से कम रही। लिंगानुपात में सुधार हुआ, जो महिला सशक्तिकरण के संकेतक के रूप में देखा गया। यह अध्ययन सुझाव देता है कि जनसंख्या दबाव के क्षेत्रों में शहरीकरण, शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं और संसाधनों के प्रबंधन में सुधार की आवश्यकता है। यह शोध जनसंख्या वृद्धि के स्थानिक प्रतिरूपों को समझने और समग्र विकास योजनाओं को लागू करने में सहायक सिद्ध हो सकता है।

मनकापुर विकासखण्ड (गोंडा जनपद) की स्थलाकृति एवं भू-आकृति विशेषताओं का एक भौगोलिक अध्ययन
Abstract
यह अध्ययन गोंडा जनपद के मनकापुर विकासखण्ड की स्थलाकृति और भू-आकृति विशेषताओं पर केंद्रित है, जिसमें यह विश्लेषण किया गया है कि कैसे स्थलरूप, उच्चावच, ढाल, जलनिकासी पैटर्न और मृदा के प्रकार कृषि उत्पादकता, भूमि उपयोग और मानव बसावट को प्रभावित करते हैं। जीआईएस -आधारित विश्लेषण और द्वितीयक डेटा का उपयोग करते हुए यह शोध यह दर्शाता है कि क्षेत्र की स्थलाकृति, विशेष रूप से नदी तटीय क्षेत्रों और जलोढ़ मैदानों, कृषि कार्यों, जल संसाधन प्रबंधन और बसावट संरचनाओं में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाती है। अध्ययन से यह भी स्पष्ट हुआ कि गोंडा शाखा नहर जैसी सिंचाई प्रणालियाँ कृषि में सहायक हैं, जबकि बाढ़, मिट्टी का क्षरण और मृदा ह्रास जैसे पर्यावरणीय मुद्दे क्षेत्र के विकास में रुकावट डाल सकते हैं। यह अध्ययन सतत विकास और प्राकृतिक संसाधनों के उचित प्रबंधन के लिए योजना बनाने की आवश्यकता को रेखांकित करता है, ताकि क्षेत्रीय विकास सुनिश्चित किया जा सके।

Sovereigns of Restraint: Masculine Archetypes and Hunter Heroes in Five Mising Folktales
Abstract
Abstract
Masculine heroism in Mising folktales is less about spectacular killing than about guardianship and the quiet work of keeping a shared world habitable. Hunters and near hunters claim authority by obeying taboos, securing witnesses, staging verifiable proofs, and using tools to deter rather than annihilate predators. Through close readings of five tales—Man Follows His Destiny (No. 43), Cleverness of a Fox (No. 83), A Man and a Tiger (No. 86), Mi and Rogo: Buffalos Have Their Habitats in the Plains (No. 89), and Karbang and Karsang (No. 60)—the paper advances a stewardship model of masculine archetypes: protector hunters bounded by fate, legal tricksters who privilege verification over force, sovereign craftsmen who rely on technological deterrence, ritual-obedient providers, and vigilant partners who navigate nocturnal hazards. Propp’s morphology clarifies interdiction and trial but underplays oath, proof, and ritualised place; Lévi-Strauss’s structuralism helps map binaries mediated by artefacts and oaths; Turner’s performance theory frames crisis scenes as social dramas with audiences; and Connell’s masculinity studies and Goffman’s sociology explain how masculine authority is staged, witnessed, and oriented to care rather than bravado. The paper proposes a set of Mising-centred “action regimes”—deterrent display, oath verification, taboo direction, fate restraint, and nocturnal discernment—as more faithful classificatory tags than imported motif lists for capturing these tales' moral pedagogy.
Keywords: Mising folktales; masculinity; hunter heroes; structuralism; ritual theory

Ancient Wisdom for Modern Policy: The Relevance of Kautilya in Democratic India
Abstract
Kautilya’s Arthashastra, composed around the 3rd century BCE, stands as one of the earliest and most systematic treatises on governance, statecraft, and economic administration. It delineates a comprehensive framework for political order, rooted in the welfare of the people and the moral responsibility of rulers. Despite being written in a monarchical context, Kautilya’s ideas hold enduring significance in the democratic and bureaucratic structure of contemporary India.
This paper explores how Arthashastra’s principles — particularly those relating to welfare, accountability, diplomacy, and ethics — can guide modern governance. It critically analyses parallels between Kautilya’s administrative strategies and India’s present policy mechanisms such as Good Governance Mission, Digital India, and Mission Karmayogi. The study employs descriptive and comparative methods to highlight the continuity of Indian political thought from ancient to modern times. It concludes that Kautilya’s pragmatic yet ethical vision of governance provides valuable insights for addressing 21st-century challenges such as corruption, bureaucratic inefficiency, and policy accountability.

Landscape and Body as Sites of Trauma in Hijam Guno’s Khudol
Abstract
The paper investigates the embodiment of trauma in both the landscape and the human body in Hijam Guno’s Khudol, one of the significant Manipuri literary representations of the civilian experience of the Second World War (WWII) in Manipur. Despite the Battle of Imphal being one of the deadliest episodes of WWII in South Asia, scholarly attention to Manipuri civilian experiences remains limited. Through a close reading of Khudol and drawing on trauma theories by Sigmund Freud, Cathy Caruth, and Judith Herman, the study examines how the novel conveys the psychological and corporeal aftermath of war. The scarred and depopulated landscape becomes a site of collective memory, while the protagonist’s disfigured body embodies the lingering effects of trauma. By foregrounding regional wartime experiences, the paper positions Manipuri narratives as vital counterpoints to dominant military and colonial histories, demonstrating how Khudol preserves and reimagines the traumatic legacy of WWII through its portrayal of wounded bodies and devastated terrains.

A Study on Guwahati City Secondary School Teachers’ Job Burnout
Abstract
Present study is descriptive in nature, investigates the level of Job Satisfaction of Teacher Educators working in Private B.Ed. Colleges and affiliated to Gauhati University and Private B.Ed. College, Dibrugarh University. A sample of forty teacher educators was chosen and standardized tool (Teacher Job Satisfaction Questionnaire- TJSQ) was used to collect relevant data. Majority of the teacher educators working in Private B.Ed. Colleges under both the Universities have shown low level (68.50% Gauhati University, 62.25% Dibrugarh University) of Job Satisfaction or they are less satisfied with their jobs. Whereas, more than thirty percent (31.50% G.U, 33.75% D.U) teacher educators have shown high level of Job Satisfaction which is less in number as compare to that of low level. The t-value was calculated as 1.97, which is ‘not significant’ at both the levels of confidence (0.01 & .05 levels). Therefore as per the null hypothesis that : there is no significant difference in level of Job Satisfaction among the teacher educators of Private B.Ed. Colleges affiliated to Gauhati University and Dibrugarh University, Assam was accepted. It can be concluded that there was a slight difference of two percent in high level and of six percent (not significant) in low level of Job Satisfaction among teacher educators working in Private B.Ed. Colleges, may be due to some inter-personal reasons. All teacher educators of Private B.Ed. Colleges have shown near about equal type and level of Job Satisfaction.
