Author: Prakash Kumar Sahoo

DOI Link: https://doi.org/10.70798/Bijmrd/03110003

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated an unprecedented disruption in global education systems, necessitating a rapid shift from traditional classroom-based learning to online and remote education. This research article examines the transition to online education during the pandemic, exploring its implications on learners, educators, and educational institutions. The study highlights the opportunities, challenges, and limitations of this shift, with a focus on accessibility, engagement, and pedagogical effectiveness. Drawing on empirical studies, surveys, and institutional reports, the article analyzes how the pandemic has accelerated the adoption of digital learning technologies and reshaped educational paradigms. Key findings suggest that while online education has fostered flexibility and continuity, it has also exacerbated existing inequalities, posed technological challenges, and required significant adaptation by educators and learners alike. The article concludes by discussing strategies for optimizing online education post-pandemic and integrating digital learning into resilient, inclusive, and future-ready educational frameworks.

Author: Dr. Sathyadevan Sen

DOI Link: https://doi.org/10.70798/Bijmrd/03110004

Abstract: Physical activity is increasingly recognized as a key factor in supporting adolescents’ mental well-being and academic success. This study examines the relationship between physical activity participation, psychological health, and academic achievement among adolescents aged 13–18. A descriptive research method was adopted, and data were collected from 250 students through a standardized questionnaire. The findings indicate that regular engagement in physical activity contributes to reduced stress and anxiety, improved concentration, memory retention, and overall academic performance. However, sedentary behavior, screen dependency, and academic workload emerged as barriers. The study emphasizes the need for schools and families to promote active lifestyles as a contributing factor to both mental and academic development.

DOI Link: https://doi.org/10.70798/Bijmrd/03110005

Abstract: Sustainable Business Practices and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) have become essential components of modern organizational strategies. As businesses increasingly face environmental challenges and societal expectations, the focus has shifted from traditional profit-maximization to responsible and ethical operations. Sustainable business practices emphasize the efficient use of resources, reduction of environmental impact, and long-term economic viability, while CSR involves voluntary contributions toward social welfare, employee well-being, and community development. This abstract highlights the significance of integrating sustainability and CSR into business policies to enhance corporate reputation, ensure regulatory compliance, and promote sustainable development. It concludes that adopting these approaches enables organizations to create value not only for shareholders but also for society and the environment, thereby achieving a balanced and inclusive growth model.

Keywords: Social Responsibility, Businesses, Community Development, Environment, Sustainability and CSR.

Author: Ms. T. Agnees Mary & Dr. A. Edward William Benjamin

DOI Link: https://doi.org/10.70798/Bijmrd/03110006

Abstract: This studyinvestigatedthe mental health among Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) students and its variation across selected demographic variables in Tiruchirappalli district, Tamil Nadu. A sampleof 295 B.Ed.students was selected from different teacher education institutions using a stratified sampling approach. Mental health was assessed using a standardized mental health scale covering key dimensions such as academic stress management, self-esteem and confidence, emotional balance, and social adjustment. Descriptive statistics and t-test /ANOVA were used to analyse differences in mental health across gender, locality, type of institution and educational qualification. The findings indicated no statistically significant difference in overall mental health with respect to gender and locality. However, type of institution and educational qualification showed significant differences in some specific dimensions, particularly academic stress management and self-esteem and confidence. Students from certain institution types and with higher prior qualifications reported relatively better capacity to manage academic stress. The study highlights the need for targeted mental health support within teacher education programmes, with special attention to institutional climate, academic pressure and counselling services. Implications for teacher educators and policy makers are discussed.

Keywords: Mental Health; B.Ed. Students; Teacher Education; Academic Stress Management; Self-Esteem And Confidence.

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Rural Youth Development in India: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis

Author: Dr. R. Selvamani & Dr. R. Mangaleswaran

DOI Link: https://doi.org/10.70798/Bijmrd/03110007

Abstract: Artificial intelligence is reshaping rural development, yet youth impacts in India remain understudied. A systematic review and meta-analysis synthesized empirical studies on rural Indian youth. Methods followed PRISMA 2020 standards for transparent selection and reporting (Page et al., 2021). Outcomes covered leisure, mental health, education, gender attitudes, service use, and hygiene. Random-effects models aggregated standardized mean differences and assessed between-study heterogeneity. Educational and health knowledge showed large positive associations (d=0.77, p<1e-5). Gender and social attitudes displayed moderate positive associations (d=0.40, p<1e-5). Health and hygiene practices showed moderate gains (d=0.46, p<1e-5). Service use and violence outcomes showed negative associations (d=-0.38, p<1e5). Leisure and mental health exhibited small, nonsignificant changes (d=0.04, p=0.08). Associations favored cognitive and attitudinal domains over service engagement or safety behaviors. Results indicate correlations, not causes, and may reflect access barriers or disparities. Policy design should strengthen beneficial domains while addressing service uptake challenges. Evidence provides a structured basis for evaluating AI within rural socio-economic change.

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Rural Youth Development, Knowledge Outcomes, Gender Attitudes, Service Barriers.

Yoga, Vyayama, and Krida in the Terracotta Temples around Santiniketan: A Reflection of Folk Art and Culture

Author: Mohammad Razzaque & Samiran Mondal

Abstract(सारांश): शांतिनिकेतन और उसके आसपास के इलाक़ों में स्थित प्राचीन टेराकोटा (पक्की मिट्टी की) मंदिर सिर्फ़ धार्मिक आस्था के केंद्र नहीं हैं, बल्कि वे अपने समय के समाज, जीवनशैली और लोक परंपराओं के सजीव दस्तावेज़ भी हैं। इस शोध का उद्देश्य यह समझना है कि इन मंदिरों की दीवारों पर बने योग (योगासन), व्यायाम (शारीरिक कसरत), और क्रीड़ा (खेलकूद) से जुड़े चित्र किस प्रकार से उस समय के लोगों की सोच, उनकी दिनचर्या और सामुदायिक जीवन को दर्शाते हैं।

मैंने शांतिनिकेतन के आसपास स्थित प्रमुख मंदिरों — जैसे सुरुल सरकार बड़ी, मानसामंदिर, इलमबाज़ार के पाँच मंदिर, श्रीनिकेतन का लक्ष्मी-जनार्दन मंदिर और घुड़िसा मंदिर — का प्रत्यक्ष दौरा किया। वहाँ पर मैंने न केवल चित्रों का अध्ययन किया बल्कि स्थानीय लोगों, श्रद्धालुओं और मंदिर से जुड़े बुज़ुर्गों से बातचीत भी की। उनसे मिली मौखिक जानकारी, परंपराएँ और उनकी यादें इस शोध का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा बनीं।

इन मंदिरों की टेराकोटा कला में कुश्ती, तीरंदाज़ी, ध्यान की मुद्रा, घुड़सवारी, और बच्चों के खेल जैसी अनेक गतिविधियाँ दिखती हैं। ये सिर्फ़ सजावट नहीं, बल्कि एक ज़माने की जीवनशैली की झलक हैं। यह शोध इस बात को रेखांकित करता है कि भारतीय समाज में शारीरिक और मानसिक विकास को किस तरह से धार्मिक और सांस्कृतिक जीवन का अभिन्न हिस्सा माना जाता है।

इन मंदिरों और उनके चित्रों को न सिर्फ़ संरक्षण की ज़रूरत है, बल्कि इन्हें समझना, दस्तावेज़ करना और आने वाली पीढ़ियों तक पहुँचाना हमारी सांस्कृतिक ज़िम्मेदारी भी है।

Keywords(मुख्य शब्द): शांतिनिकेतन, टेराकोटा मंदिर, योग, व्यायाम, क्रीड़ा, लोक कला, सांस्कृतिक अभिव्यक्ति, बंगाल की विरासत, शारीरिक संस्कृति, मंदिर शिल्प
