Crop Combination Regions in Etah District: A Geographical Analysis
Abstract
The research of the cropping pattern in the study area indicates that Kharif, which is also referred to as summer monsoon crops, are usually sown in June or July and reaped in October or November. Rabi crops, in contrast, refer to winter season crops that are sown in October or November and reaped in March or April. Collectively, these two categories of crops encompass over 98 percent of the whole cultivated land, leaving virtually no space for Zaid crops, which are cultivated from March to June. Practicing the simultaneous cultivation of many crops on the same piece of arable land, also known as combination crops, and harvesting them in succession is a highly intriguing part of cropping patterns.
The district's administrative subdivisions consist of five Tahsils, namely Etah, Kasganj, Patiyali, Aliganj, and Jalesar. The Etah district comprises a total of 15 Blocks, namely Kasganj Amapur, Sahawar, Soron, Shitalpur, Sakit, Nidhauli Kalan, Marehra, Patiyali, Sidhpura, Ganjdudwara, Aliganj, Jaithra, Awagarh, and Jalesar.
The analysis of the land area in the Etah district is mainly influenced by the interaction between physio-economic parameters, which are obtained from the general land use pattern, and the historical and current form of land use in different categories. This analysis also considers the economic value generated by each category of land. The agricultural farms in the Etah district constitute the main economic aspect of land usage in the district, as evidenced by observations. Therefore, it is inevitable that the importance of the land use region discussed in the subsequent paragraphs will be assessed based on the economic circumstances.

जनसंख्या प्रवास प्रतिरूप एवं आर्थिक परिवर्तन: कुमाऊं मंडल का एक भौगोलिक विश्लेषण
Abstract
भारत के उत्तरी भाग में स्थित उत्तराखंड राज्य का निर्माण 9 नवंबर 2000 को हुआ था इस राज्य की भौगोलिक दृष्टि से विशेष स्थलाकृतिक विशेषताएं हैं। जिसके आधार पर इस राज्य को 2 मंडलों गढ़वाल एवं कुमायूं मंडल में विभाजित किया गया है गढ़वाल मंडल में 7 जिले हैं जबकि कुमायूं मंडल में कुल 6 जिले शामिल हैं। उत्तराखंड राज्य सबसे तेजी से विकास करने वाले राज्यों में से एक है। कुमाऊं क्षेत्र के पहाड़ी जिलों में लम्बे समय से प्रतीक्षित विकास ने इन जिलों के विकास को कुमाऊं क्षेत्र के अन्य मैदानी जिलों की तुलना में पीछे धकेल दिया है। इसके परिणामस्वरूप इन जिलों से प्रमुख कार्यबल का लगातार पलायन हुआ है, जिसमें बड़े पैमाने पर इन क्षेत्रों के पुरुष, युवा शामिल हैं। इससे इन जिलों की अर्थव्यवस्था पर दबाव पड़ा है। कुमाऊं क्षेत्र के पहाड़ी जिले मुख्य रूप से कृषि पर निर्भर हैं, उद्योगों की स्थापना मुख्य रूप से क्षेत्र के दो मैदानी जिलों में हुई है, जो इस क्षेत्र में प्रवास का प्रमुख कारण है। पलायन का प्रमुख कारण कुमाऊँ क्षेत्र के पर्वतीय क्षेत्रों में स्वरोजगार के अवसर प्रदान करने के लिए सरकारी पहल की कमी, पर्यटन और कृषि को बढ़ावा देने में विफलता है। अधिक आर्थिक अवसरों से लाभान्वित होने के लिए कुमाऊं क्षेत्रों में शहरों की ओर प्रवास सबसे अधिक दर्ज किया गया है।

भारतीय भाषाओं से हिन्दी में अनुवाद: स्थिति, चुनौतियाँ और संभावनाएँ
Abstract
भारत एक बहुभाषी देश है, जहाँ संविधान द्वारा 22 भाषाओं को आधिकारिक मान्यता प्राप्त है। हिन्दी, जो देश की प्रमुख राजभाषा है, विभिन्न भारतीय भाषाओं से अनुवाद के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण माध्यम बन चुकी है। प्रशासन, शिक्षा, साहित्य, मीडिया और मनोरंजन जैसे क्षेत्रों में अनुवाद की बढ़ती आवश्यकता देखी गई है।
भारतीय भाषाओं से हिन्दी में अनुवाद ने ज्ञान, संस्कृति और परंपराओं के आदान-प्रदान में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई है। तमिल, बंगाली, मलयालम, मराठी, पंजाबी और राजस्थानी जैसी भाषाओं की महान कृतियों के हिन्दी अनुवाद ने साहित्यिक समृद्धि को बढ़ावा दिया है। रामायण और महाभारत जैसे महाकाव्य भी विभिन्न भारतीय भाषाओं में अनूदित होकर जनमानस तक पहुँचे हैं।
हालाँकि, अनुवाद की प्रक्रिया में कई चुनौतियाँ भी सामने आती हैं। संस्कृत, तमिल, मलयालम और अन्य भाषाओं की जटिल व्याकरणिक संरचना, सांस्कृतिक संदर्भ, मुहावरे और शैलीगत विशेषताएँ हिन्दी में सटीक रूप से अनूदित करना कठिन होता है। पंजाबी और राजस्थानी जैसी भाषाओं के विशिष्ट मुहावरों और लोक-संस्कृति को हिन्दी में सटीक बनाए रखना एक जटिल कार्य है। आधुनिक युग में मशीन अनुवाद (Machine Translation) और कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता (AI) आधारित तकनीकों ने अनुवाद प्रक्रिया को सरल बनाया है, लेकिन सांस्कृतिक और भाषायी गहराइयों को समझने में ये अभी भी सीमित हैं। मानव अनुवादकों की भूमिका अब भी अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण बनी हुई है। भविष्य में, अनुवाद की प्रक्रिया को अधिक व्यवस्थित और तकनीकी रूप से सक्षम बनाने की आवश्यकता है। इसके लिए सरकारी, शैक्षणिक और साहित्यिक संस्थानों को मिलकर कार्य करना होगा। अनुवादकों के प्रशिक्षण, भाषायी शोध, और साहित्यिक अनुवाद के मानकों को सुधारकर भारतीय भाषाओं और हिन्दी के बीच संवाद को और अधिक समृद्ध किया जा सकता है।

Threads in Reform: The Transformation of Women’s Dress in Colonial Bengal
Abstract
During the colonial period, Bengal experienced many social and cultural changes due to the influence of Western education and values. One significant area of change was in the way women dressed. Traditionally, Bengali women wore a simple saree, often without any garments underneath, which was not always considered modest or practical—especially for appearing in public. With the growth of new ideas about women’s roles in society, many reformers and women themselves began to rethink the question of appropriate clothing. Some adopted blouses, petticoats, and even gowns. Others developed new ways of draping the saree, such as the ‘Brahmika saree’, which balanced modesty, mobility, and cultural identity. This period marked the beginning of a new awareness among women about their appearance, respectability, and role in society.

The Spiritual Dimension, The Sacred Dualities: Exploring Religion in Mahapatra’s Poetic Landscape
Abstract
Jayanta Mahapatra, one of the poets who have made the Indian English Poetry a novel scene in itself, paints a poetic terrain, influenced by two religious paths, which is his own Christian ethos and the prevalent Hindu ethos in Odisha. This sacred duality comes to the forefront of his poetic investigation in which the instruments of spiritual symbols are also as much anchors of his culture as they are instruments of social criticism. In such poems as Dawn at Puri, Indian Summer, and Hunger, Mahapatra uses imagery of Hindu rituals, but couples that imagery with a more abstract theme of marginalization, the oppression of women, and existential suffering. In the Imagist accuracy and allusion, he is critical about the falsehood of the religious practices that co-exist in the surroundings of poverty, caste discrimination, and patriarchal social systems. Though Hindu sacred geography gives much of his poetic vision form, his Christian vision sets a perspective and gives a touch of distance enabling him to challenge and recontextualize spiritual traditions. In this paper, I will discuss how the bicultural spiritual identity of the poet Mahapatra is referrable to his poetic-making processes as well as to his light on the intersections of faith, suffering, the human state, etc.

Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment in Contemporary India: Policies and Progress
Abstract
Gender equality and women empowerment have become central themes in the discourse on inclusive development in contemporary India. Over the years, various constitutional provisions, legislative measures, and policy initiatives have aimed to uplift the socio-economic and political status of women. The paper critically examines the trajectory of women’s empowerment in India by analyzing the impact of flagship schemes like Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, Mahila E-Haat, and Stand-Up India, among others. It also explores how these initiatives have contributed to improving access to education, health, employment, and decision-making for women across urban and rural sectors. Despite significant progress, persistent challenges such as gender-based violence, wage gaps, low female labor force participation, and underrepresentation in politics remain prevalent. This study emphasizes the need for sustained implementation, grassroots engagement, and gender-sensitive governance to translate policy intent into tangible outcomes. The paper concludes that while India has made strides in fostering gender equality, achieving true empowerment requires a multi-pronged, culturally sensitive, and inclusive approach involving all stakeholders.
