Interplay of Caste Structure and Voting Patterns in Madhubani District of Bihar
type: item
description: The present study examines the intricate relationship between caste structure and voting patterns in Madhubani district of Bihar, a region deeply embedded in the Mithila cultural landscape where caste identities have historically shaped electoral outcomes. The primary objectives of this research are to analyze caste-wise demographic composition of Madhubani and its influence on electoral behavior, and to assess party-wise voting trends across assembly constituencies from 2010 to 2020. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical research design employing secondary data from the Census of India 2011 and the Election Commission of India. The hypothesis posits that caste composition significantly determines party preferences and candidate selection in Madhubani district. Results reveal that numerically dominant caste groups such as Yadavs, Brahmins, and Extremely Backward Classes (EBCs) exhibit distinct party affiliations, with RJD consistently securing OBC-Muslim consolidation while JD(U) and BJP garnered support from upper castes and EBCs. Voter turnout data across three election cycles demonstrates that constituencies with higher SC populations showed different partisan leanings compared to upper-caste dominated areas. The study concludes that despite emerging developmental narratives, caste remains the primary determinant of electoral choice in Madhubani, though inter-caste coalition building has introduced incremental shifts in traditional voting blocs.

Representation Of Women In Marathi Short Stories (1950–2025)
type: item
description: This study examines the literary representation of women in Marathi short stories spanning seven decades from 1950 to 2025, analyzing the evolution of female characterization, narrative techniques, and thematic concerns through feminist literary criticism. The research explores how women characters have been portrayed by both male and female authors, investigating the shift from traditional stereotypes to complex, multidimensional representations. Through close textual analysis of representative short stories across different periods, this paper identifies three distinct literary phases: the conservative portrayal period (1950-1975) characterized by idealized domesticity, the feminist awakening period (1976-2000) marked by resistance narratives, and the contemporary intersectional period (2001-2025) featuring diverse women's voices. The analysis reveals significant transformation in narrative perspectives, characterization depth, symbolic representations, and thematic exploration. Key findings demonstrate evolution from passive, suffering female characters to autonomous protagonists who challenge patriarchal structures. The study employs feminist literary theory to decode gendered power dynamics embedded in narrative structures and examines how women writers have subverted male literary traditions to create alternative imaginative spaces. This research contributes to understanding Marathi literature's role in articulating women's experiences and advancing feminist consciousness in Maharashtra.

Democratic Participation of Youth in India: Challenges and Contributions to Policy Making
type: item
description: This paper examines the democratic participation of youth in India, analysing the structural challenges that impede their political engagement and evaluating their contributions to national policy making. India's youth population, comprising approximately 27.3 percent of the total population in the 15–29 age bracket, represents a demographically significant force; however, voter registration among the youngest cohort (18–19 years) remains critically low at approximately 29.49 percent. The study employs a secondary data-based descriptive methodology, drawing upon data from the Election Commission of India, Lokniti-CSDS National Election Studies, the World Bank, and the International Labour Organisation. Findings reveal persistent disparities in youth voter turnout, limited representation in legislative bodies, and a growing but uneven role of digital platforms in political mobilisation. The paper concludes that sustained institutional reforms, inclusive civic education, and structured youth advisory mechanisms are essential to translating India's demographic dividend into meaningful democratic participation.

The Wellbeing Recipe: A Comprehensive Framework For Enhancing Life Satisfaction And Happiness Through Multidimensional Interventions
type: item
description: This study explores the multidimensional nature of wellbeing through the comprehensive framework of "The Wellbeing Recipe," which integrates eight distinct pillars: physical health, cognitive patterns, emotional regulation, transcendence, social connections, professional fulfillment, financial literacy, and technological balance. The research examines the hypothesis that holistic wellbeing emerges from the synergistic integration of these dimensions rather than isolated improvements in any single domain. A cross-sectional survey methodology was employed with 495 participants aged 18-65 years across urban and rural settings in India. Results demonstrate strong positive correlations between multidimensional wellbeing practices and overall life satisfaction scores. The Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI) scores averaged 80.06, significantly higher than Asian norms. Physical health emerged as the primary happiness determinant (50%), followed by relationships (42%), and professional satisfaction (38%). Statistical analyses reveal that integrated approaches incorporating multiple wellbeing dimensions yield superior outcomes compared to single-domain interventions. The study validates the 4A model (Learning, Attitude, Soul, Action) as an effective framework for sustainable wellbeing enhancement. Findings underscore the critical importance of addressing wellbeing holistically, with implications for individual development, organizational culture, and public health policy in the Indian context.

The Life After Death, A Journey Into Shadow Realm
type: item
description: This research investigates the phenomenon of life after death through interdisciplinary examination of near-death experiences, consciousness studies, and cross-cultural afterlife beliefs. Near-death experiences represent profound episodes of enhanced consciousness occurring during clinical death, characterized by prototypical features including out-of-body experiences, tunnel phenomena, encounters with deceased entities, and life reviews. The study examined 344 cardiac arrest survivors across ten Dutch hospitals, analyzing prevalence rates, phenomenological characteristics, and associated factors of near-death experiences. Findings reveal that 18% of cardiac arrest survivors report near-death experiences, with 12% describing core experiences. Cross-cultural analysis demonstrates both universal elements and culturally-specific interpretations of afterlife experiences. Results indicate that occurrence of near-death experiences is not associated with duration of cardiac arrest, medication, or physiological factors, challenging conventional materialist explanations. The research contributes to understanding consciousness continuity beyond physical death, with implications for thanatology, neuroscience, psychology, and spiritual studies. This investigation bridges empirical observation with metaphysical inquiry, advancing discourse on human consciousness and existence beyond corporeal limits.

Impact Of Private Universities On The Evolution Of Higher Education
type: item
description: The Indian higher education landscape has undergone substantial transformation since economic liberalization in 1991, with private universities emerging as pivotal contributors to educational expansion. This study examines the impact of private universities on India's higher education evolution from 2010-2022. The research employed a mixed-method approach, analyzing secondary data from AISHE reports, UGC databases, and empirical surveys. The hypothesis posited that private universities significantly enhanced access, diversity, and innovation in higher education. Results revealed that private universities grew from 123 in 2010-11 to 430 by 2021-22, contributing 26.3% of total enrollment. Despite concerns regarding quality and equity, private institutions demonstrated substantial infrastructure development, technology integration, and employment-focused curriculum design. The study concludes that private universities substantially influenced higher education democratization, though regulatory frameworks require strengthening to ensure quality maintenance and equitable access for marginalized communities.

Optimization-Driven and Generative-Assisted Adaptive Artificial Intelligence Systems: A Detailed Review of Methods, Architectures, and Governance
type: item
description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are being instituted in dynamic, uncertain, and safety-critical systems like financial analytics, healthcare allotment, intelligent traffic, cybersecurity and cyber-physical infrastructures. In these directions, traditional machine learning models with fixed training and accuracy-focused goals tend to fail in supporting performance in changing data distributions, rare events, and uncertainty and adversarial cases. To address these drawbacks, more advanced studies have highlighted optimization based-learning, generative-assisted models as well as adaptive AI designs that can evolve continuously, but can be reliable and ethical. The following review provides a synthesis of the state of optimization-enhancement and generative-assistance AI frameworks intended to work on the increase of the robustness, flexibility, and stability of the decisions taken. The paper focuses on anomaly-conscious learning pipelines, evolutionary and heuristic optimization methods, generative data enhancement and stress testing, adaptive signal processing, and governance conscious computer-aided intelligence. The applications in the fields of finance, health care, intelligent networks, and cyber-physical systems are surveyed in order to find common design principles and research issues. The end of the review is the projection of the future swinging on scalable, self-adaptive and ethically controlled AI systems. DOI: https://doi-ds.org/doilink/01.2026-73665134

Psychological Trauma of Terrorism and Armed Conflict In Jammu And Kashmir: A Comprehensive Analysis
type: item
description: The protracted conflict in Jammu and Kashmir has resulted in widespread psychological trauma affecting civilian populations across multiple generations. This study examines the mental health consequences of terrorism and armed conflict on Kashmiri residents, with particular focus on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. The research hypothesizes that prolonged exposure to conflict-related violence significantly correlates with elevated rates of psychiatric morbidity among the population. A mixed-methods approach incorporating quantitative surveys and qualitative narrative analysis was employed to assess trauma prevalence and manifestations. Data reveal that 41% of the adult population exhibits depressive symptoms, 26% shows anxiety symptoms, and 19% demonstrates PTSD symptoms, with over 70,000 casualties since 1989. Findings indicate that collective trauma has permeated daily life, affecting social cohesion, family dynamics, and community resilience. Women, youth, and conflict-exposed individuals demonstrate significantly higher vulnerability. The study underscores urgent need for culturally appropriate, decentralized mental health interventions and trauma-informed care systems tailored to Kashmir's unique socio-political context to address this unprecedented psychological crisis.

A Comparative Study of Achievement Motivation and Self-Esteem among Archers with Reference to Gender and Category of Archery
type: item
description: Psychological characteristics of athletes significantly influence sports performance, particularly in precision sports such as archery. This comparative study examined achievement motivation and self-esteem among archers with respect to gender (male and female) and category of archery (recurve and compound). A sample of 200 competitive archers (100 males and 100 females) with minimum two years of competitive experience participated in this study, with equal representation from both recurve and compound categories. Achievement motivation was assessed using the Sports Achievement Motivation Test (Kamlesh), and self-esteem was measured using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Descriptive statistics and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were employed for data analysis. Results revealed no significant differences in achievement motivation based on gender (F = 0.000, p = .987), category of archery (F = 0.022, p = .881), or their interaction (F = 0.062, p = .803). However, a statistically significant gender difference was found in self-esteem (F = 166.575, p < .001), with male archers demonstrating higher self-esteem (M = 35.99, SD = 2.38) than female archers (M = 30.97, SD = 3.06). No significant differences were observed for self-esteem based on category of archery (F = 0.169, p = .681) or interaction effects (F = 0.003, p = .959). These findings suggest that while male and female archers are equally motivated to achieve success, male archers possess significantly higher self-esteem. The study highlights the importance of implementing targeted psychological support programs and interventions aimed at enhancing self-esteem among female archers, potentially improving their confidence and competitive performance.

An Optimized Deep Learning Framework For Brain Tumor Detection And Classification Using Image Processing in Medical Health Society
type: item
description: Now a day’s tumor is second leading cause of cancer. Due to cancer large no of patients are in danger. The medical field needs fast, automated, efficient and reliable technique to detect tumor like brain tumor. Detection plays very important role in treatment. If proper detection of tumor is possible then doctors keep a patient out of danger. Various image processing techniques are used in this application. Using this application doctors provide proper treatment and save a number of tumor patients. A tumor is nothing but excess cells growing in an uncontrolled manner. Brain tumor cells grow in a way that they eventually take up all the nutrients meant for the healthy cells and tissues, which results in brain failure. Currently, doctors locate the position and the area of brain tumor by looking at the MR Images of the brain of the patient manually. This results in inaccurate detection of the tumor and is considered very time consuming. A tumor is a mass of tissue it grows out of control. We can use a Deep Learning architectures CNN (Convolution Neural Network) generally known as NN (Neural Network) and VGG 16(visual geometry group) Transfer learning for detect the brain tumor. The performance of model is to predict image tumor is present or not in image. If the tumor present it returns yes otherwise returns no. DOI: https://doi-ds.org/doilink/12.2025-65799365

A Comparative Study of Reproductive Health Beliefs and Practices among Adolescent Married Girls of Birhor and Kolha Tribes in Oupada Block, Balasore District
type: item
description: Comparative understanding of reproductive health beliefs and practices between different tribal groups is essential for developing targeted, culturally-appropriate health interventions. This descriptive comparative survey assessed reproductive health beliefs and practices among 100 adolescent married girls (50 Birhor, 50 Kolha) in Oupada Block, Balasore District, Odisha. Using purposive sampling and structured interview questionnaires, data were collected on menstrual hygiene, sexual behavior, and nutritional domains. The hypothesis tested whether Birhor primitive tribal group demonstrates more traditional beliefs and inadequate practices compared to Kolha tribe. Results revealed significant inter-tribal differences: menstrual beliefs showed 100% Birhors versus 70% Kolhas believing menstruation is God's gift; practices demonstrated 100% Birhors using only undergarments versus 88% Kolhas using old cloth during menstruation. Sexual behavior comparisons showed 100% Birhors versus 84% Kolhas believing pre-15 pregnancy is safe; contraceptive use was 0% among Birhors versus 70% Kolhas. Nutritional comparisons revealed 90% Birhors versus 54% Kolhas believing forest food alone suffices; both tribes showed 100% alcohol consumption during pregnancy. The study concluded that Birhors face compounded vulnerabilities from extremely traditional beliefs combined with severe resource deprivation, while Kolhas demonstrate gradual modernization with persistent traditional elements, necessitating differentiated intervention strategies for distinct tribal populations.

Financial Cyber-Fraud Tactics Targeting Elderly Victims in Delhi: A Secondary Data Based Sociological Study
type: item
description: The rapid growth of digital financial services has undoubtedly made everyday transactions more convenient and accessible. But this growth has also made older people more likely to fall for cyber-related financial scams. Adopting a sociological perspective, this study explores the nature and impact of financial cyber fraud targeting senior citizens in Delhi, drawing upon empirical research, government records, and policy analyses. The findings reveal that social engineering remains the most common method used to commit such frauds, alongside phishing, vishing, SIM-swap attacks, QR code manipulation, and UPI-based scams. Beyond limited levels of digital literacy, the study identifies age-related factors such as trust, social isolation, and structural inequalities embedded within India’s rapid digitization process as key contributors to seniors’ vulnerability to cyber fraud. The research also highlights significant underreporting of these crimes in Delhi, which can be largely attributed to inconsistent institutional responses and limited awareness of existing reporting mechanisms. Importantly, the consequences of cyber fraud extend well beyond financial loss, leading to reduced digital participation, diminished autonomy, and considerable psychological distress among older victims. The study concludes that age-sensitive interventions are essential to ensure the safe and equitable participation of senior citizens in India’s evolving digital financial ecosystem. Such interventions should include inclusive technology design, targeted digital and financial literacy programs, regulatory reforms, and accessible as well as responsive reporting and redressal mechanisms.

From Sanatan Thought to Sustainable Futures: Philosophical Anchors of Viksit Bharat 2047
type: item
description: The word “Sanatan” in Sanskrit means eternal, timeless, or without beginning and end, while “Dharma” means that which upholds or sustains moral law, duty, and right conduct. Thus Sanatan thought points to universal truths and ethical norms believed to be valid for all beings, beyond changing social or political systems. The Vision 2047 of Viksit Bharat is the Government of India’s comprehensive blueprint to transform the nation into a fully developed country by its centenary of independence in 2047. This vision addresses economic growth, social progress, environmental sustainability, and good governance, aiming to ensure prosperity and opportunity for every citizen. Key principles such as Dharma (Universal Order), Ahimsa (Non-Violence), Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (“the world is one family”) and Sarvodaya (upliftment of all), provide both ethical guidance and practical frameworks for harmonious coexistence with nature and society. These anchors underlie the holistic, inclusive, and balanced approach needed to achieve Viksit Bharat, which aspires to combine economic prosperity, social cohesion, and environmental stewardship. Modern sustainability movements and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) echo ancient Indian practices of conservation, reverence for nature, and social justice. Philosophers from the Rig Veda, Upanishads, and epics like the Bhagavad Gita have articulated ecological ethics and personal responsibility. Movements such as Gandhian Sarvodaya and Chipko draw directly from these traditions, shaping Indian environmentalism and progressive policy making. The integration of classical Dharmic principles with modern developmental paradigms offers a robust philosophical foundation for innovation, decentralized governance, ethical leadership, and equity in India’s future trajectory. This article examines the spiritual, philosophical, and practical linkages between Sanatan thought and sustainable futures, analyzing their implications for education, governance…

The Role of Academic Stress and Psychosocial Adjustment in the Cognitive Maturation of Senior School Students
type: item
description: Academic stress has emerged as a critical concern affecting adolescent development in contemporary educational environments. This study examines the role of academic stress and psychosocial adjustment in the cognitive maturation of senior school students. The objectives were to assess the prevalence of academic stress, examine psychosocial adjustment levels, evaluate cognitive maturation patterns, and analyze the interrelationships among these variables. A descriptive correlational research design was employed with a sample of 400 senior secondary students from government and private schools using stratified random sampling. Data collection utilized the Academic Stress Scale, Psychosocial Adjustment Inventory, and Cognitive Maturity Assessment Tool. The hypothesis proposed that academic stress negatively correlates with cognitive maturation while psychosocial adjustment positively influences cognitive development. Results revealed that 63.5% students experienced moderate to high academic stress, and significant correlations existed between psychosocial adjustment (r=0.58, p<0.01) and cognitive maturation. Discussion indicates that balanced psychosocial adjustment serves as a protective buffer against stress-induced cognitive impairment. The study concludes that holistic interventions addressing both academic stress and psychosocial factors are essential for optimal cognitive development among senior school students.

Artificial Insemination And Human Rights In India
type: item
description: Artificial insemination has emerged as a significant biomedical procedure that aids in overcoming infertility challenges. Specifically talking about India, the application of Artificial Insemination is intertwined with constitutional provision, human rights considerations and socio-cultural dynamics.The constitutional provisions in India underpinning Artificial Insemination are primarily rooted in the right to life and personal liberty as enshrined in Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. This article is interpreted to include the right to reproductive autonomy. However, the absence of the explicit legal frameworks governing Artificial insemination creates ambiguities, leading to potential human rights violation. NGOs have been instrumental in highlighting these issues, advocating for clearer legislation and ethical practices in Artificial Insemination to safeguards the rights of all stakeholders, especially women. NGO’s play a pivotal role in the Artificial Insemination landscape in India. Organizations such as the Indian Society for Assisted Reproduction (ISAR) and the All India Institute of Medical Science(AIIMS) have been at the forefront of promoting ethical practices. The necessity for special legislation on Artificial Insemination in India is understood by the socio-legal vaccum that currently exist. Such legal provisions are crucial to protect the rights of women, prevent exploitation, and ensure that Artificial Insemination practices adhere to the highest ethical standards. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has issued guidelines on Artificial Insemination as well to regulate and standardize assisted reproductive technology in India. The guidelines mainly focus on consent, age limit, Screening, Donor Sperm, Anonymity, Counseling, record keeping, qualifications and Ethics. DOI: https://doi-ds.org/doilink/11.2025-88946679

विश्वविद्यालय पुस्तकालयों में आईसीटी अपनाने का मूल्यांकन: छत्तीसगढ़ से साक्ष्य
type: item
description: सूचना और संचार प्रौद्योगिकी के तीव्र एकीकरण ने वैश्विक स्तर पर शैक्षणिक संस्थानों में पुस्तकालय सेवाओं को मौलिक रूप से बदल दिया है। यह अध्ययन भारत के छत्तीसगढ़ राज्य के विश्वविद्यालय पुस्तकालयों में आईसीटी को अपनाने और लागू करने की प्रक्रिया का परीक्षण करता है, जिसमें बुनियादी ढाँचे की उपलब्धता, सेवा वितरण तंत्र और डिजिटलीकरण के दौरान आने वाली चुनौतियों पर ध्यान केंद्रित किया गया है। एक वर्णनात्मक सर्वेक्षण पद्धति का उपयोग किया गया, जिसमें संरचित प्रश्नावली के माध्यम से छत्तीसगढ़ के आठ प्रमुख विश्वविद्यालयों के 120 पुस्तकालय पेशेवरों से डेटा एकत्र किया गया। इस परिकल्पना ने प्रस्तावित किया कि संस्थागत प्रकार और संसाधन उपलब्धता के आधार पर आईसीटी अपनाने के स्तर में उल्लेखनीय अंतर होता है। परिणामों से पता चला कि जहाँ 76% विश्वविद्यालय पुस्तकालयों ने स्वचालित संचलन प्रणालियों और डिजिटल कैटलॉग सहित बुनियादी आईसीटी बुनियादी ढाँचे को लागू किया है, वहीं केवल 42% ही संस्थागत संग्रह और वेब-आधारित संदर्भ सेवाओं जैसी उन्नत सेवाएँ प्रदान करते हैं। पहचानी गई प्रमुख चुनौतियों में अपर्याप्त वित्त पोषण, अपर्याप्त तकनीकी प्रशिक्षण और खराब इंटरनेट कनेक्टिविटी शामिल हैं। अध्ययन का निष्कर्ष है कि अपनाने के प्रगतिशील रुझानों के बावजूद, व्यापक आईसीटी एकीकरण में पर्याप्त अंतराल मौजूद हैं, जिससे छत्तीसगढ़ के उच्च शिक्षा पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र में डिजिटल पुस्तकालय सेवाओं को बढ़ाने के लिए बुनियादी ढाँचे, व्यावसायिक विकास कार्यक्रमों और नीतिगत ढाँचों में रणनीतिक निवेश की आवश्यकता है।

मैत्रेयी पुष्पा और ममता कालिया के कथा साहित्य में नारी दृष्टिकोण का तुलनात्मक अध्ययन
type: item
description: प्रस्तुत शोध पत्र मैत्रेयी पुष्पा और ममता कालिया के कथा साहित्य में निहित नारी दृष्टिकोण का तुलनात्मक विश्लेषण प्रस्तुत करता है। दोनों लेखिकाएं समकालीन हिंदी साहित्य में नारी विमर्श की प्रमुख हस्ताक्षर हैं, किंतु उनके कथा संसार में स्त्री जीवन की अभिव्यक्ति भिन्न सामाजिक-सांस्कृतिक संदर्भों से उद्भूत होती है। मैत्रेयी पुष्पा का कथा संसार ग्रामीण और निम्न वर्गीय स्त्रियों के संघर्ष, उनकी जैविक आवश्यकताओं और पितृसत्तात्मक व्यवस्था के विरुद्ध विद्रोह को केंद्र में रखता है, जबकि ममता कालिया शहरी मध्यवर्गीय नारी की आंतरिक द्वंद्व, वैवाहिक संबंधों की जटिलताओं और आधुनिकता के दबावों को उजागर करती हैं। यह अध्ययन विउपनिवेशीकरण और नारीवादी सिद्धांतों के परिप्रेक्ष्य में दोनों रचनाकारों के कथा साहित्य का विश्लेषण करता है। शोध में पाया गया कि मैत्रेयी पुष्पा की रचनाओं में देहवादी और प्रतिरोधी स्वर अधिक प्रबल है, जो परंपरागत नैतिकता को चुनौती देता है, जबकि ममता कालिया की कथाओं में मनोवैज्ञानिक यथार्थवाद और आत्मान्वेषण की प्रवृत्ति अधिक दिखाई देती है। दोनों लेखिकाओं की रचनाएं भारतीय नारीवाद के बहुस्तरीय स्वरूप को प्रकट करती हैं और यह स्थापित करती हैं कि नारी मुक्ति का कोई एकल आख्यान नहीं है।

Cost Efficiency and Benefit Analysis of Municipal Bio-Methanation Programs in Madhya Pradesh
type: item
description: Municipal bio-methanation programs in Madhya Pradesh represent innovative waste-to-energy solutions addressing environmental sustainability and resource recovery imperatives. This study examines cost efficiency and comprehensive benefit analysis of bio-methanation initiatives across urban local bodies in Madhya Pradesh. The primary objective focused on evaluating cost structures, operational efficiency, and multidimensional benefits including economic, environmental, and social returns. The methodology employed comparative cost-benefit analysis of operational plants in Indore, Bhopal, and state-level data encompassing capital expenditure, operational costs, revenue streams, and externality valuation. We hypothesized that bio-methanation programs demonstrate superior benefit-cost ratios exceeding 1.5 when accounting for environmental externalities and social benefits. Results revealed unit processing costs declining from Rs 814 per tonne for 15 TPD plants to Rs 276 per tonne for 550 TPD facilities, establishing significant economies of scale. Benefit-cost ratios ranged from 1.38 to 2.84 depending on externality inclusion, with annual net benefits of Rs 28-42 crores for large-scale facilities. Discussion emphasizes greenhouse gas mitigation valued at Rs 8.2 crores annually, employment generation of 450 jobs per 550 TPD plant, and avoided landfill costs of Rs 12 crores. This study concludes that bio-methanation programs deliver exceptional cost efficiency and comprehensive benefits, justifying public investment and policy prioritization for Madhya Pradesh municipalities.
