डिजिटल क्रांति और शिक्षा प्रणाली: एक समालोचनात्मक अध्ययन
Abstract
डिजिटल क्रांति ने आज के युग में मानव जीवन के हर क्षेत्र को प्रभावित किया है, और शिक्षा प्रणाली इससे अछूती नहीं रही है। सूचना और संचार प्रौद्योगिकी (ICT) के तीव्र विकास ने शिक्षा के पारंपरिक तरीकों में आमूलचूल परिवर्तन ला दिया है। इंटरनेट, स्मार्टफोन, और डिजिटल उपकरणों के प्रसार ने न केवल शिक्षा को अधिक सुलभ बनाया है, बल्कि इसे अधिक प्रभावी और लचीला भी बना दिया है। विशेष रूप से भारत जैसे देश में, जहां शहरी और ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों के बीच शिक्षा की गुणवत्ता और पहुंच में बड़ा अंतर है, डिजिटल क्रांति ने इस अंतर को कम करने की दिशा में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई है।
पारंपरिक शिक्षा प्रणाली में जहाँ शिक्षक और छात्र का संवाद मुख्य माध्यम था, अब वह धीरे-धीरे ऑनलाइन शिक्षा और डिजिटल संसाधनों की ओर बढ़ रहा है। ऑनलाइन पाठ्यक्रम, ई-लर्निंग प्लेटफ़ॉर्म, और डिजिटल पुस्तकालयों ने छात्रों और शिक्षकों दोनों को नई संभावनाएँ दी हैं। छात्रों के लिए दुनिया भर के ज्ञान तक पहुंच आसान हो गई है, और शिक्षक डिजिटल उपकरणों की मदद से अपनी शिक्षण विधियों को अधिक प्रभावी बना सकते हैं।

महादेवी वर्मा का नारीवाद: स्त्री अस्मिता और स्वतंत्रता की तलाश
Abstract
महादेवी वर्मा हिंदी साहित्य की प्रमुख हस्तियों में से एक हैं, जिन्हें "छायावाद युग की महादेवी" के रूप में जाना जाता है। उनका साहित्यिक योगदान केवल काव्य तक सीमित नहीं है, बल्कि उन्होंने गद्य, निबंध, आत्मकथात्मक लेखन और पत्र साहित्य के माध्यम से भी अपनी सृजनशीलता का परिचय दिया। महादेवी वर्मा का साहित्य उनके गहन मानवीय दृष्टिकोण, संवेदनशीलता और समाज के प्रति जागरूकता का परिचायक है। वे न केवल एक कवयित्री थीं, बल्कि एक विचारक, शिक्षाविद और सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता भी थीं, जिन्होंने भारतीय समाज में नारी के स्थान और उसकी स्वतंत्रता के प्रश्नों को गहराई से उठाया।
महादेवी वर्मा का नारीवाद उनके साहित्य में स्पष्ट रूप से उभर कर आता है। उनका नारीवादी दृष्टिकोण पश्चिमी नारीवाद की नकल मात्र नहीं है, बल्कि यह भारतीय संदर्भ में स्त्री की अस्मिता और उसकी स्वतंत्रता की खोज पर आधारित है। उन्होंने स्त्री के भीतर छिपी अदम्य शक्ति और उसकी पहचान को समाज के सामने लाने का प्रयास किया। महादेवी ने नारी को केवल गृहलक्ष्मी या त्यागमूर्ति के पारंपरिक रूप में नहीं देखा, बल्कि उसे एक आत्मनिर्भर, स्वाभिमानी और स्वतंत्र व्यक्तित्व के रूप में स्थापित किया।

Satellite-Based Vegetation Monitoring in Charkhi Dadri District: Trends of Deforestation and Afforestation from 1995 to 2024
Abstract
Using high-resolution satellite imagery from USGS Landsat 5 and Landsat 9, this study looks at the vegetation dynamics of Charkhi Dadri district, Haryana, India, from 1995 to 2024, with an emphasis on afforestation and deforestation patterns. By using spectral analysis and indexes like the NDVI, these datasets were crucial in identifying changes in the vegetative cover. According to the report, urbanization, mining, and agricultural growth were the main causes of the deforestation that resulted in the loss of 545.08 sq. km of vegetation. This is the study's unfavourable conclusion. Afforestation operations, on the other hand, resulted in the recovery of 160.85 sq. km, indicating that reforestation efforts were successful in some places. 323.55 square kilometres have unaltered vegetation, whereas 351.88 square kilometres are completely devoid of vegetation.
The district's southern and southwestern areas, where deforestation is most prevalent, show a net loss of vegetation, according to these data. In spite of that, reforestation initiatives in the central and northeastern regions demonstrate beneficial ecological interventions. Vegetation patterns in Charkhi Dadri are greatly influenced by the semi-arid environment, little groundwater, unequal rainfall distribution, and human activity.
In order to address the high pace of deforestation, this study highlights the necessity of more robust conservation laws, sustainable land use practices, and improved afforestation initiatives. It emphasizes how crucial it is to strike a balance between environmental sustainability and development in order to preserve the district's ecological integrity and keep its primarily agrarian economy.

The Ethical Vision of Tiruvalluvar: A Timeless Contribution to World Philosophy
Abstract
Tiruvalluvar, the illustrious poet-philosopher of ancient Tamil Nadu, occupies a revered place in the literary and ethical traditions of India. His monumental work, the Tirukkural, consisting of 1330 couplets, provides an enduring guide to moral living, statecraft, and personal virtue. This classical Tamil text stands out for its universal relevance, addressing themes that resonate across cultures and historical periods. Structured around the three pillars of human life—virtue (Aram), wealth (Porul), and love (Inbam)—the Tirukkural transcends religious and social boundaries to offer ethical principles that guide both rulers and commoners alike. This article explores Tiruvalluvar’s life and historical context, the structural brilliance and thematic range of the Tirukkural, and its continued significance in contemporary discourse. Through textual analysis and interpretations by leading scholars, the study highlights the timeless values enshrined in the Tirukkural and Tiruvalluvar’s lasting impact on global ethical thought.

नशे की समस्या कितनी गंभीर : एक समाजशास्त्रीय दृष्टिकोण
Abstract
आप अक्सर ही ऐसी कहानियाँ सुनते होंगे कि फला आदमी के नशे की लत ने उसके पूरे परिवार को तहस-नहस कर दिया। आपने मुकेश हराने का वो विज्ञापन भी जरूर देखा होगा जिसमें वो तंबाकू सेवन के खतरनाक परिणामों के बारे में चर्चा करते हैं। इसके साथ ही आप अक्सर ऐसी खबरें पढ़ते होंगे जिसका मजमून ये रहता है कि कच्ची शराब ने ली लोगों की जान! नशे की ये लत कितनी खतरनाक है, भारत दो प्रमुख ड्रग उत्पादक क्षेत्रों- गोल्डन क्रिसेंट (ईरान-अफगानिस्तान-पाकिस्तान) और गोल्डन ट्रायंगल (थाईलैंड-लाओस-म्याँमार) के बीच स्थित है, जो इसे अवैध मादक पदार्थों की तस्करी के लिये संवेदनशील बनाता है। इस रिपोर्ट में यह भी कहा गया है कि भारत दुनिया के सबसे बड़े अफ़ीम बाज़ारों में से एक है। हमारे यहाँ शराब, देशी शराब, अफ़ीम, हशीश और मारिजुआना स्वतंत्र रूप से उपलब्ध और उपयोग किए जाते थे। हमारे राजा और उनके दरबारी वरिष्ठ जन नशा करने के लिए इन पदार्थों का उपयोग हुक्के में करते थे। लेकिन उन दिनों लोग इनका प्रयोग कम मात्रा में करते थे और नशीली दवाओं का प्रयोग कोई गंभीर समस्या नहीं थी।

From Global Capitalism to Local Humanism: Deendayal Upadhyaya’s Alternative to Western Models of Growth
Abstract
This paper explores Deendayal Upadhyaya’s philosophy of Integral Humanism as a sociological alternative to Western models of development, particularly global capitalism and socialism. It examines how his vision of Local Humanism integrates material, moral, cultural, and ecological dimensions of human life, emphasizing holistic well-being, social harmony, ethical economy, and cultural rootedness. Through content analysis of Upadhyaya’s writings and relevant sociological literature, the study identifies key themes such as the upliftment of marginalized populations (Antyodaya), self-reliance (Swadeshi), and ecological sustainability. The paper argues that Upadhyaya’s ideas offer a human-centered, ethically grounded framework for envisioning Viksit Bharat 2047, challenging reductionist development models that prioritize profit or industrial growth over human dignity. By re-embedding development within cultural, ethical, and community structures, Integral Humanism provides a constructive blueprint for sustainable, inclusive, and socially cohesive growth, offering insights relevant for both India and the global development discourse.

Algorithmic Management and the New Digital Panopticon: A Study of Food Delivery Workers in Urban India
Abstract
This study investigates how algorithmic management creates a “digital panopticon” for food delivery workers engaged with Swiggy and Zomato in Varanasi. Drawing on a sample of 50 delivery partners selected through purposive sampling; the research employs a mixed-method design combining structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that algorithmic controls, such as real-time GPS tracking, automated order allocation, customer-rating systems, and incentive-linked surveillance, shape workers’ labour processes, autonomy, and everyday decision-making. Most participants reported constant pressure to maintain performance metrics, fear of penalties, and limited ability to negotiate work conditions. The study also uncovers psychological strains associated with continuous monitoring and the normalization of self-discipline, as workers adjust their behaviour to meet algorithmic expectations. While algorithmic systems enhance efficiency and speed, they simultaneously produce precarity, heightened work intensity, and a sense of invisible control. The research concludes that platform work in Varanasi exemplifies a new regime of digital labour discipline, where surveillance and data-driven managerial techniques restructure worker–platform relations.

“Negotiating Tribal Identity in Formal Schooling Systems” : The Sociology of Non-Formal Education.
Abstract
This paper investigates the sociological significance of non-formal education in conserving tribal identity and shaping aspirations among India’s indigenous communities. Drawing upon qualitative and ethnographic insights, it argues that non-formal educational spaces—rooted in community practices, skill-based learning, and indigenous knowledge systems—serve as transformative platforms that simultaneously strengthen cultural identity and enhance pathways for social and economic mobility. While formal schooling often alienates tribal learners through linguistic barriers and culturally distant pedagogy, non-formal education offers culturally resonant learning opportunities that support community empowerment. This study demonstrates how non-formal educational initiatives challenge dominant narratives of tribal marginality by fostering agency, leadership, and alternative developmental imaginaries. The paper concludes that non-formal education enables tribal communities to negotiate modernity on their own terms, blending tradition with contemporary aspirations.
Keywords: Non-formal education, Tribal identity, Aspirations, Indigenous knowledge, Agency, Modernity, Tribal communities, Informal learning, Sociology of education.

Small-Scale Industries and Future Prospects in Assam
Abstract
Assam, a state known for its rich cultural heritage and abundant natural resources, has been making steady strides in industrial development in recent decades. Among the various sectors contributing to the state’s economic framework, small-scale industries (SSIs) have emerged as a crucial segment. These industries not only provide employment opportunities and stimulate local economies but also help preserve traditional crafts and innovate in new fields. This comprehensive article examines the development, economic impact, government policies, success stories, and future prospects of small-scale industries in Assam, drawing on the available literature and documented sources. Assam’s small-scale industries (SSIs) play a vital role in fostering inclusive economic growth by integrating rural and urban economies. These industries encompass a diverse range of activities, including traditional handloom weaving, handicrafts, food processing, and agro-based products that capitalise on the state’s abundant natural resources and skilled artisan communities. By promoting entrepreneurship and skill development at the grassroots level, SSIs significantly contribute to reducing regional disparities and unemployment. Moreover, they serve as a platform for preserving Assam’s unique cultural identity through the continuation and modernisation of indigenous crafts, thereby attracting both domestic and international markets.The Assam government has implemented various supportive policies and schemes aimed at strengthening the SSI sector, such as financial incentives, infrastructure development, and marketing assistance. These initiatives have helped many small enterprises overcome challenges related to capital access, technology adoption and market reach. Success stories from the region highlight how SSIs have adapted to changing economic conditions by embracing innovation and diversifying their product lines, enhancing their competitiveness. Looking ahead, the future prospects for Assam’s small-scale industries are promising, provided there is sustained policy support, increased investment in skill enhancement, and improved linkages with larger value chains to scale up production and market penetration in the future.
