Abstract: Kidney stones are solid crystals formed from urine salts. It is also known as renal calculi. It can obstruct urine flow and cause infection, kidney damage, or even kidney failure, and varies in size and location. Human beings have been affected by kidney stones for centuries, which is a silent cause of renal failure. Mental health problems are more common in patients with kidney stones. For example, depression is three–four times more likely in people living with kidney stones. Patients with kidney stones are much more likely to experience mental health issues. However, this has rarely been addressed by mental health services. Thus, it is time for this to change. People with kidney stone illnesses need to take care of their mental health. Good mental health is vital for people with kidney stones. For some people with kidney stone disease, poor mental health may have been a part of their life before they became unwell which are dealt in this paper.

Abstract: Education has been a central driver of growth and development in Indian society, shaping literacy, social equity, and economic empowerment. In Erode district of Tamil Nadu, the evolution of school education reflects a transition from pre-colonial community-based learning to colonial English-centric schooling, and finally to post-independence inclusive and decolonized education systems. This study examines the historical trajectory of educational growth, policy reforms, and decolonization initiatives, highlighting how schooling has fostered social transformation in terms of equity, cultural identity, and economic opportunities. By integrating historical records, policy analyses, and contemporary educational practices, the research demonstrates that educational growth and development are closely intertwined with societal progress. The findings underscore the importance of decolonizing curricula, community engagement, and inclusive policies to sustain equitable and holistic educational development.

Abstract: Old age is a significant stage of the human life span marked by biological, psychological, and social changes. While advances in healthcare have increased life expectancy, many older adults experience difficulties in adjusting socially. Social adjustment problems in old age arise due to factors such as retirement, declining health, loss of social roles, changing family structures, and reduced social interaction. These challenges often lead to loneliness, social isolation, low self-esteem, and mental health issues. The present study examines social adjustment problems among elderly persons in rural PurbaMedinipur district, with special reference to gender and living arrangement. Using the Social Adjustment Scale for the Aged (SASA), data were collected from 120 elderly individuals. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in social adjustment problems based on gender and living arrangement. Female elderly and those living alone reported higher adjustment problems. The findings highlight the need for supportive family environments and social interventions to promote healthy ageing.

Abstract: This study explores the development of Buddhist monasticism in Bengal during the Pāla Dynasty (750–1179 AD) and its profound influence on the cultural, intellectual, and spiritual landscape of early medieval Bengal. The Pāla rulers’ patronage of Buddhism led to the flourishing of major monastic institutions such as Nalanda, Vikramashila, and Odantapuri, which played a pivotal role in spreading Mahāyāna and Tantric Buddhist teachings to neighboring regions like Tibet, China, and Southeast Asia. This study examines the role of Bengali monastic life in shaping local cultural identities, particularly through architectural design, ritual practices, and intellectual exchange. The research draws on a combination of historical records, archaeological findings, and textual analysis to investigate the lasting impact of Bengal’s Buddhist monastic culture on the broader Buddhist world and its contribution to the region’s cultural heritage.

Abstract: Information and Communication technology (ICT) has become central to contemporary discourses of Inclusive Education, promoted as a catalyst for equitable learning opportunities. Assistive technologies, online learning platforms and adaptive systems are celebrated for dismantling barriers faced by learners with disabilities, marginalized communities and those in remote regions. Yet this optimistic narrative often obscures structural inequalities, cultural erasures and privatization pressures that ICT may also reinforce. This paper critically interrogates the role of ICT in Inclusive Education through the lens of critical pedagogy and global policy experiences. Using a qualitative critical review methodology, it asks: Does ICT genuinely enable Inclusive Education or does it risk reproducing or deepening existing educational inequalities? The analysis reveals that while ICT can expand accessibility and personalization, its effectiveness is constrained by digital divides, Western-centric designs, weak teacher preparation and corporate interests. The paper concludes that ICT is not inherently inclusive; its emancipatory potential depends on systemic equity measures, cultural responsiveness and participatory implementation.
