Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming international trade and economic policies by enhancing efficiency, decision-making, and market competitiveness. AI-driven technologies, such as machine learning, big data analytics, and automation, are reshaping global trade by optimizing supply chains, improving risk assessment, and streamlining regulatory compliance. These innovations enable businesses to predict market trends, enhance trade negotiations, and minimize transaction costs, leading to more seamless cross-border trade.AI also plays a critical role in economic policy formulation by providing governments with data-driven insights for trade agreements, tariff regulations, and economic forecasting. Predictive analytics help policymakers anticipate economic shifts, assess the impact of trade policies, and mitigate risks associated with financial crises. Additionally, AI enhances customs procedures through automated inspections and fraud detection, reducing trade barriers and improving global commerce. Despite these advantages, AI in international trade poses challenges, including ethical concerns, data privacy issues, and potential job displacement. The reliance on AI for economic decisions raises questions about bias in algorithms and the digital divide between developed and developing economies. Moreover, the integration of AI into trade policies necessitates global cooperation to establish regulatory frameworks that ensure fair competition and security. AI is revolutionizing international trade and economic policies by improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing decision-making. However, addressing challenges related to ethics, regulation, and economic disparity is essential to maximize AI’s benefits while mitigating its risks. As AI continues to evolve, its role in shaping global trade and economic strategies will become increasingly significant, necessitating balanced policies that promote innovation while ensuring inclusivity and fairness in international commerce.

Abstract: Scheduled Tribes are groups that are economically, socially, and geographically secluded. Sincere and coordinated efforts were made for the economic and educational advancement of Tribes throughout the post-independence era. In spite of these efforts, the tribes’ educational achievement is much worse than that of the Scheduled Castes. According to research on tribal education, policymakers gave culturally connected education minimal consideration. This has had a direct effect on their general educational condition and resulted in dropouts. The paper’s goal is to compare the gender parity index, dropout rates, gross enrolment ratio, and literacy rate in Alipurduar with those in India in order to examine the effects of socioeconomic position on tribal education. One of the most important prerequisites for creating persons and a country is education. It is essential to the growth of human capital. Character, abilities, and information are imparted via education. In order to meet the requirements of the Directive Principles of State Policy, Indian administrations increasingly depended on literacy campaigns that emphasized the 3Rs (reading, writing, and math) after gaining independence. The study critically evaluates the educational condition and statistics of Tribes in Alipurduar and across India in light of the New Education Policy 2020, which is expected to be implemented soon.

Abstract: This study explores the critical link between innovative educational perspectives and student well-being, specifically focusing on happiness and self-efficacy. Traditional pedagogical approaches often prioritize rote memorization and standardized assessments, potentially neglecting the development of students’ intrinsic motivation, emotional intelligence, and sense of competence. This paper argues that adopting innovative educational perspectives, such as project-based learning, inquiry-based instruction, personalized learning pathways, and social-emotional learning integration, can significantly enhance student happiness and self-efficacy. By fostering agency, collaboration, and authentic engagement, these approaches empower students to take ownership of their learning, develop a growth mindset, and cultivate a belief in their ability to succeed. The abstract highlights the potential of these innovative models to create a more positive and supportive learning environment, leading to improved academic outcomes, increased resilience, and ultimately, greater overall well-being for students. Further research is needed to empirically validate these claims and explore the specific mechanisms through which these educational perspectives contribute to student happiness and self-efficacy in diverse learning contexts. This paper explores the intersection of innovative educational perspectives with student happiness and self-efficacy. It examines how pedagogical shifts, such as personalized learning, project-based learning, gasification, and mindfulness practices, impact students’ sense of well-being and their belief in their own abilities. By synthesizing existing literature, this paper aims to highlight the theoretical foundations and empirical evidence supporting the positive relationships between these innovative approaches and student flourishing. Furthermore, it discusses potential challenges and future research directions in this area.

Abstract: Ecotourism offers a sustainable pathway for rural development, particularly in ecologically and culturally significant regions like the Jhargram District of West Bengal. This study evaluates the impact of ecotourism on sustainable development by employing the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework, which integrates environmental, economic, and socio-cultural dimensions. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources. Primary data were collected through structured household and business surveys, tourist interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and key informant interviews (KIIs) across three key regions—Jhargram, Belpahari, and Gopiballavpur—covering 415 respondents. Secondary data included previous works of researchers. Sentinel-2 imagery, district statistics, and Census reports. Remote Sensing and GIS techniques were used to analyze land use/land cover changes from 2017 to 2023, forest cover variation, and solid waste management in ecotourism hotspots. The study also assessed tourismrelated employment, income diversification, and cultural impacts on local communities. Results highlight that ecotourism contributes significantly to employment generation, skill development, and preservation of tribal culture, while promoting environmental awareness. However, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, seasonal fluctuation in income, and environmental degradation persist. Spatial analysis identified zones of ecological stress and conservation potential. Thematic analysis of stakeholder perspectives revealed the importance of community involvement and policy support. The study concludes that a holistic, data-driven strategy—combining geospatial monitoring, economic assessment, and sociocultural engagement—is essential for enhancing the sustainability of ecotourism in Jhargram. Such an approach can serve as a model for other rural ecotourism destinations aiming for inclusive and balanced development.

Abstract: This study explores the representation of mythical figures through a feminist lens, focusing on how the concept of ‘Yakshasis’ or she-monsters has contributed to contemporary understandings of self-identity. It examines the ways in which these figures challenge traditional narratives, offering a feminist perspective on the construction of individual identity. It  examines both the positive and negative portrayals of mythical Yakshasis, focusing on the depiction and re-imagining of shoe-demon figures in the Indian subcontinent. It offers a comparative analysis of Yakshasi representations through phallocentric historical and postmodern perspectives. This study draws upon Puranic texts and key Indian epics, including the Ramayana and Mahabharata, to explore these themes. The major objectives of the paper are:  to critically analyse the falseness of met narrative which concretizes any construction, and to reconstruct those images which are dull in senses. The paper includes methodology of materialist, feminist, and micro historical based analysis. The degree of presentation recommends trying to change the perspective and interpretation of feminine versions of feminine gender, especially mythical ‘she’ characters that are inculcated in deep inner conscious or subconscious mind. The paper highlights the concept of incredulity towards metanarrative by taking the references of ‘she’ mythical figures in the area of gender studies. It presents certain analogies between mythical she-monsters and today’s feminist thinking in a wholesome way. Both, feminist and mythical representation had shared concerns in nature, nurture and productivity. Empowering women by taking monster figures as metaphors is key to the theme of the paper.

Abstract: The long half-life of pesticides and their possible environmental hazard have led to a rise in soil and water contamination from their breakdown products. Consumers’ awareness of the possible health impacts of artificial chemicals in food has grown in recent years. The primary goal of the introduction of pesticides was to prevent and manage diseases and insect pests in field crops. Naturally, at first, the use of pesticides decreased pest activity and cleared the path for an anticipated increase in crop output. Concurrently, the augmented use of chemical pesticides has led to environmental pollution, with multifaceted long-term consequences for civilization. The purpose of this research is to explore the potential benefits of utilizing pesticides as well as their drawbacks. The research comes to the conclusion that, in order to reduce the use of synthetic pesticides, it is imperative to support organic farming methods and look for biological pesticides or bio-pesticides that may effectively manage agricultural pests.
