Abstract: Practice teaching and internship programmes form the basis of teacher preparation in India. However, variations in supervision, mentoring, and collaboration often lead to uneven quality across B.Ed. institutions. This article synthesizes contemporary research and policy literature to explore effective strategies and best practices adopted by B.Ed. colleges in Assam and other Indian states to enhance the quality of practice teaching. Drawing upon studies from the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), National Curriculum Framework for Teacher Education (NCFTE), and empirical research conducted in Assam, the paper identifies five thematic areas influencing quality: mentorship and supervision, collaboration with schools, reflective and experiential learning, ICT integration, and professional development of teacher educators. The review reveals that institutions adopting participatory mentoring models, reflective practice frameworks, and context-based innovations achieve superior outcomes in student-teacher preparedness. It argues for a contextualized approach to quality enhancement, aligning pedagogical practices with local educational realities. The paper concludes with a framework for strengthening practice teaching through evidence-based reforms and sustained institutional partnerships

Abstract: A key player in India’s fight for independence, Subhash Chandra Bose’s militant tactics and extreme political beliefs provided a potent counterpoint to Mahatma Gandhi’s mainstream, nonviolent campaign. This essay offers a historical assessment of Bose’s sociopolitical accomplishments, emphasizing his support for violent opposition to British colonial control, secular nationalism, and socialist economic reforms. It looks at how he led the Indian National Congress, created the Indian National Army (INA), and used the Forward Block as military weapons.It also looks at the ethical issues surrounding his relationships with Affiliation powers and his diplomatic attempts to globalize the Indian freedom cause. The study emphasizes Bose’s lasting influence on India’s liberation story and post-colonial statecraft by examining both his ideological underpinnings and practical deeds. Despite its complexity, his legacy highlights the variety of India’s liberation movement and is still relevant in today’s political conversation.

Abstract: Folk theatre, as a vibrant and indigenous art form, has served for centuries as a powerful medium for cultural expression, education, and moral instruction within traditional societies. Deeply interwoven with rituals, festivals, and everyday life, folk theatre embodies the collective imagination, aesthetic sensibilities, and ethical consciousness of the communities that nurture it. Rooted in oral traditions, it harmoniously integrates music, dance, dialogue, and symbolism to communicate profound social and moral truths in an accessible and engaging manner. This paper explores the role of folk theatre in cultivating aesthetic excellence through the creative interplay of artistic disciplines and its enduring capacity to reinforce social values such as empathy, justice, and community solidarity. Drawing upon historical, anthropological, and performative perspectives, it highlights how folk performances not only preserve cultural identity but also act as vehicles of social critique and transformation. Moreover, in the face of globalization and digital modernity, folk theatre continues to evolve—bridging the gap between tradition and innovation while inspiring new approaches in contemporary education and performance studies. Ultimately, the study underscores the enduring relevance of folk theatre as both an aesthetic pursuit and a moral compass for society.

Abstract: The NPE (1986) is repeatedly said “the status of the teacher reflects the socio-cultural ethos of society and no people can rise above the level of its teachers”. For the achievement of high standard of education as well as well smooth functioning of academic activities, teacher participation is must. The major areas of school administration in which teacher should participate are Planning, Organizing, Communicating, Controlling and Evaluation. The objectives of the study were to ascertain the percentage of teachers taking part in planning, organizing, communicating, controlling and evaluation of administration system in relation to gender, educational qualification and teaching experience. A Descriptive study survey design was adopted for the study. For the study a representative sample of 100 teachers were selected from the 10 secondary schools of Tripura. The samples were collected on the basis of three variables gender, educational qualification and teaching experience through simple random sampling method. For the purpose of data collection, the TPSAS (Teachers’ Participation in School Administration Scale) of Taj (1985) was used. Findings of the study were that in planning there existed significant difference in teachers’ participation in relation to gender variation but non-significant in relation to educational qualification and teaching experience, there did not exist any significance difference in organizing function of teachers in relation to gender, teaching experience, and educational qualification, in respect of communicating role of secondary schools there existed a significant difference in relation to gender and educational qualification but there did not exist any difference in relation to teaching experience, there existed significance difference in controlling functions of secondary schools in relation to gender but there did not existed any difference in relation to educational qualification and teaching experience and in evaluating there existed a significant different in teachers participations in school administration with regard to gender but there did not existed significant different with regard to educational qualification and teaching experience.

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is redefining education by altering the methods through which students learn, engage, and remember information. Currently, the media is omnipresent and significantly influences students’ life. Social media, television, video games, and music are examples of media that can engage kids’ attention. Students frequently dedicate extensive hours to screens for academic purposes, leisure, or social interaction. This chapter examines how AI functions as a potent instrument for student empowerment, facilitating personalised learning, augmenting motivation, and promoting lifelong education. AI-driven adaptive learning systems customize information to meet individual requirements, allowing students to progress at their own speed. Intelligent tutoring, immediate feedback, and Gamified educational experiences enhance engagement and self assurance and can offer tailored support to pupils, augment student involvement, and boost educational results. Numerous recent research papers have investigated the possibility of chatbots as AI conversational agents in higher education. Machine Learning significantly contributes to educational research by generating predictive analytics, advanced learning systems, and datadriven decision-making processes (Emuoyibofarhe, 2025). Moreover, AI promotes inclusivity by supporting students with disabilities and linguistic obstacles, so providing fair educational access. In addition to conventional classrooms, AI is instrumental in skill enhancement, career counseling, and lifelong learning, providing students with essential competencies for a dynamic labor market. Ethical considerations, such as data privacy and AI bias, are addressed to guarantee appropriate AI integration in education. As AI advances, it possesses significant potential to transform lifelong learning, enhancing accessibility, efficiency, and student-centricity in education. This chapter examines the revolutionary influence of AI on education, emphasizing its contribution to cultivating a culture of self-directed, lifelong learning.

Abstract: English occupies a pivotal position in India as both a medium of instruction and a marker of social mobility. In the districts of Paschim Medinipur and Purba Medinipur, West Bengal, the language mediates students’ educational opportunities, career ambitions, and sense of modern identity. This empirical study compares the perceptions of secondary-school students from the two districts regarding the role of English in shaping their personal and social aspirations. Using a mixed-methods design, data were collected from 300 students (150 from each district) through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and focus-group discussions. Quantitative analysis revealed that students in both districts associated English with status and employability, yet Paschim Medinipur students demonstrated slightly higher communicative confidence and access to digital English resources. Qualitative findings indicated that English functions not only as an academic requirement but also as a symbol of self-worth and future possibility. The study concludes that unequal infrastructural and pedagogical conditions shape how learners construct linguistic identity, and it recommends context-responsive English-language policies that link communicative proficiency with inclusive social development.

Abstract: This study examined the spatial patterns of small indigenous freshwater fish (SIFF) diversity across major river systems of West Bengal. Field surveys were conducted between 2022 and 2024 across 12 representative districts covering the Ganges–Hooghly, Bhagirathi–Madhumati, Teesta, Damodar, and lower coastal river systems. Standardized multi-habitat sampling (cast netting, seine, electrofishing where permitted, and local fisher interviews) yielded 78 SIFF taxa belonging to 14 families. Species richness and diversity indices (Shannon–Wiener H′, Simpson D, Pielou’s evenness J′) were calculated for each district and river reach. Geospatial analysis using GIS and river-network based interpolation identified clear longitudinal and lateral gradients in diversity: headwater and midreach wetlands supported higher species richness and endemism, while lower reaches near urbanized and agricultural areas showed reduced diversity and altered community composition. Multivariate analyses (NMDS, cluster analysis, and redundancy analysis — RDA) revealed that habitat heterogeneity, water quality (dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity), and land-use patterns were the principal correlates of SIFF diversity. The study concluded that conservation priorities should target midreach floodplain wetlands and less-disturbed tributaries; community-based management and restoration of riparian buffers were recommended. Findings were discussed in the context of regional conservation and fisheries management.

Abstract: As populations migrate, natural resources are exhausted, and the climate changes, many of the major issues of the twenty-first century are linked to changes in the spatial structure and character of the landscapes and habitats of Earth’s surface. Geographical science research has the potential to make a significant contribution to monitoring, analysing, and preparing for these changes. Over the past 20 years, the geographical sciences have grown rapidly due to shifting research goals and technological advancements. The geographical sciences today include contributions from economics, biologists, epidemiologists, geologists, computer scientists, and others. There is still much to be done to comprehend the changes that Earth will face in the twenty-first century, notwithstanding the potential of recent discoveries in the geographical sciences. The Earth’s surface has always changed as human cultures and physical systems have developed, but in recent decades, the rate and scope of these changes have increased to previously unheard-of proportions. The enormous, quick changes taking place on Earth’s surface offer a sensible place to start when thinking about strategic research directions in the geographical sciences, with the aim of comprehending how, where, why, and how quickly changes are happening, as well as any potential ramifications.

Abstract: The journey of Bengali women from domesticity to activism during India’s independence movement reflects one of the most significant transformations in the socio-political history of the subcontinent. Rooted in a patriarchal social structure, women’s roles were initially confined to the private sphere of family and household duties. However, the nationalist movements beginning with the Swadeshi Movement of 1905, the Non-Cooperation Movement (1920–22), and the Civil Disobedience Movement (1930–34) gradually drew women into the public sphere, where they not only participated but also assumed leadership roles. Figures like Sarojini Naidu, Basanti Devi, and Bina Das redefined political activism by challenging colonial authority, leading protests, and inspiring others through their speeches and sacrifices. The 1947 Partition further highlighted women’s contributions—both explicit, such as organizing relief camps and mediating communal tensions, and hidden, through roles as couriers, shelter providers, and underground activists. Many women endured displacement, violence, and trauma, yet continued to rebuild communities in Bengal, symbolizing resilience. This transformation marked a decisive shift in gender roles, challenging the colonial as well as indigenous patriarchal frameworks. By the time of independence, Bengali women had carved a unique identity that transcended domestic boundaries, reflecting courage, sacrifice, and political consciousness. This historical trajectory demonstrates how women’s agency became a central force in the nationalist struggle, influencing postcolonial debates on gender, justice, and empowerment.

Abstract: The concept of study habits as a determinant of learning effectiveness has been a central theme in educational psychology and pedagogy for decades. Study habits encapsulate the consistent behaviors, strategies, attitudes, and environmental factors that learners employ to acquire, organize, and retain knowledge. This conceptual paper offers a comprehensive analysis of study habits, exploring their theoretical foundations, dimensions, determinants, and implications for learning effectiveness. It examines how cognitive, motivational, and environmental variables interact to influence students’ study behaviors and subsequent academic achievement. Drawing upon classical and contemporary theories of learning, this paper investigates the dynamic relationship between study habits and learning outcomes, emphasizing the importance of metacognitive awareness, time management, goal orientation, and self-regulated learning. The article concludes with a synthesis of pedagogical implications, intervention strategies, and directions for future research, underscoring that effective study habits are not innate but cultivated through continuous reflection, support, and adaptive educational environments.

Abstract: The rapid expansion of digital technology has significantly influenced the lives of adolescents, especially secondary school students. Electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops have become essential tools not only for education but also for entertainment and communication. In urban centers like Patna, where digital access is growing, students’ reliance on gadgets has seen a notable increase. This study aims to analyze the multifaceted impact of electronic device usage on the academic performance, social behavior, and physical well-being of secondary school students in Patna. Using a mixed-method approach combining quantitative survey data and qualitative interviews, the research identifies patterns in device usage and their direct and indirect consequences on students’ daily lives. The findings reveal that while electronic devices enhance learning opportunities and improve access to information, excessive and unsupervised usage contributes to poor academic concentration, reduced academic achievement, and increased distraction during study hours. Socially, prolonged gadget use leads to limited face-to-face interactions, decreased participation in outdoor or group activities, and behavioral changes such as irritability and isolation. Physically, students report issues such as sleep disturbances, eye strain, and a sedentary lifestyle, often leading to weight gain and lack of fitness. The study emphasizes the urgent need for structured guidelines from schools and parents to promote balanced and responsible gadget usage among adolescents. Recommendations include digital literacy programs, scheduled screen time, and integrating physical and social activities in daily routines. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how electronic gadgets shape the holistic development of secondary students and calls for collaborative efforts to foster healthier digital habits in the student community of Patna.

Abstract: Educational aspiration is a critical indicator of individual motivation and social mobility. Among tribal adolescents, it represents both a psychological construct and a sociological phenomenon shaped by intersecting forces of culture, socio-economic status, identity, and educational opportunity. This paper explores the socio-psychological dimensions of educational aspirations among tribal adolescents, emphasizing how social structures, family environments, community expectations, and self-perception interact to influence the pursuit of education. Drawing on theoretical frameworks such as Social Learning Theory (Bandura, 1977), the Expectancy-Value Model (Eccles & Wigfield, 2002), and Cultural Capital Theory (Bourdieu, 1986), the study critically examines how aspiration formation and realization are mediated by psychological factors such as self-efficacy, motivation, self-concept, and resilience, within the constraints of socio-cultural realities. The discussion underscores the need for culturally sensitive educational interventions that nurture aspirations while addressing systemic inequities that continue to marginalize tribal learners.

Abstract: In contemporary academic environments, procrastination has emerged as a pervasive psychological and behavioral issue that impedes student achievement and well-being. Emotional Intelligence (EI)—the ability to perceive, understand, regulate, and utilize emotions constructively—has gained recognition as a critical psychological construct influencing academic motivation and self-regulation. This article explores the interrelationship between emotional intelligence and academic procrastination from a psychological perspective. Drawing on theoretical frameworks such as Mayer and Salovey’s (1997) model of emotional intelligence and Steel’s (2007) temporal motivation theory, the discussion elucidates how deficits in emotional regulation, self-awareness, and motivation contribute to procrastinatory tendencies. Furthermore, empirical findings are reviewed to highlight EI as a potential predictor of academic procrastination, offering insights for educational psychologists, teachers, and policy-makers seeking to foster emotional resilience and academic discipline among students.

Abstract: People today frequently seem to become lost in the plethora of modern and contemporary art movements, just as art was continuously redefined throughout the 20th century. Therefore, we will give a thorough and chronological summary of all the major art movements of the last 150 years in this article. We’ll address the urgent topic of which movements are most pertinent today and elaborate on why art history has become so complex over the past 50 years by offering the required perspective and context. The quest for classical depiction and perfection gave way to the expressive, frequently rebellious character of modern and contemporary tendencies in the development of fine arts. With its emphasis on realism, idealization, and tradition, classical art changed as artists started to question accepted conventions and represent societal changes through fresh viewpoints and media in movements like Abstract Expressionism and Cubism. Significant shifts in the social, political, and philosophical spheres propelled this shift, creating a varied and frequently disjointed art world that is still developing today.

Abstract: Social competence represents the capacity to interact effectively with others, encompassing skills such as communication, empathy, cooperation, conflict resolution, and adaptability. Its development is not confined to a specific age but unfolds dynamically from early childhood into adulthood, shaped by family, peers, education, culture, and broader socio-economic factors. This paper explores the trajectory of social competence, starting from the formative playground years where foundational interpersonal skills are learned, to adolescence where peer influence and identity formation become critical, and into adulthood where these skills underpin professional success, intimate relationships, and civic engagement. Drawing upon theories of child development, including Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, Erikson’s psychosocial stages, and Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, the study highlights the interplay between individual dispositions and environmental contexts. The article also examines the role of schools, extracurricular activities, and digital interactions in fostering or impeding social competence. Understanding this developmental continuum is essential for designing interventions that promote healthy social functioning, prevent maladjustment, and equip individuals to navigate the complexities of modern society.
