ASSESSING THE ROLE OF THE MID-DAY MEAL SCHEME IN STRENGTHENING SCHOOL EDUCATION IN INDIA: A SOCIO-ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE

Author: Sunita Chakraborty

Abstract
The present study attempts to examine the impact of Mid-Day Meal scheme on the development of educational system in the elementary (I-VIII) level in India at both aggregated and disaggregated level during 2011-15. The study chooses three indicators to assess the performance of the educational system in India at elementary level which are- level wise enrolment of school children, drop-out rate of the school children at the elementary level, learning achievement of the school children and lastly gender parity index in India for the years 2011-15. The study explores that for primary classes(I-V), the enrolment for both boys and girls has fallen significantly. It appears that MDMS fails to boost the level wise enrolment in elementary classes and check the drop-out rate of the school children as they proceed to the next level of education. But the scheme is quite successful in improving the learning achievement of school children in India at both primary and upper primary level of

EXAMINING THE REPRESENTATION OF DRUG ADDICTS THROUGH A SOCIO-LEGAL LENS

Author: Anup Bhilare

Abstract
For many decades we have been persuaded to believe that addiction is a blame-worthy attitude and that addicts deserve condemnation in civil society. This ethos of the drug addict created a pathos of disgust and intolerance and has made the government and public to accept the logos of repressive laws for control of drug addicts and addiction. In the light of agenda 2030, when the world aims at leaving no one behind, now it is important, more than ever, to rethink the viability of current narrative and facilitate the social inclusion of drug addicts. This paper aims at highlighting the stigmatisation of the drug addicts that takes place at the hands of the media, society, legal system and how the understanding of addiction as a psychological condition would help to reduce the stigma and pave the way for inclusion and equitable treatment for the drug addicts.

ROLE OF VALUE EDUCATION IN DEVELOPING SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL COMPETENCIES AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Author: Md. Aftab Alam

ABSTRACT
Value education has re-emerged as a cornerstone of holistic schooling, with contemporary educational frameworks increasingly recognising the need to integrate ethical, emotional and social dimensions alongside academic learning. Despite growing policy emphasis, rigorous empirical evidence on the relationship between value education and social-emotional competencies (SEC) among secondary school students in Bihar remains sparse. The present study examined the role of value education in developing social-emotional competencies among secondary school students of Muzaffarpur District. A descriptive survey design was adopted and a stratified random sample of 240 secondary school students (N = 240; 120 male, 120 female; 120 from government schools, 120 from private schools) was drawn from Class IX and X students across twelve schools of Muzaffarpur District during the academic session 2017–18. Two standardised instruments were administered: the Value Education Implementation Scale (

A STUDY OF CONTEMPORARY TRENDS AND CHALLENGES IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Author: Kavita Sharma & Pradeep Kumar

ABSTRACT
Teaching is a dynamic and evolving profession that adapts to changing educational needs, classroom environments, and student learning requirements. However, despite significant technological advancements and societal transformations, traditional teacher-centred approaches continue to dominate many educational settings. In an increasingly globalised and technology-driven world, these conventional methods may not adequately prepare students to meet contemporary academic and professional challenges. Modern education requires learners to develop critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, analytical reasoning, evaluation, and innovation skills, moving beyond the basic acquisition and retention of knowledge. Consequently, contemporary educational trends emphasise learner-centred instruction, technology-integrated teaching, collaborative learning, and the development of higher-order cognitive abilities.

The implementation of emerging educational trends requires educators to

THE ROLE OF LIBRARIANS IN PROMOTING AWARENESS OF OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES

Author: Chetan Anil Bhosekar

Introduction
The world we live is in a state of constant change. Changes are experienced over a significant period in our lives. Due to covid pandemic technological change has become unavoidable. Though readers are reading books, journals etc. they had to shift to e reading. As the reader is not approaching the library, library has to be made available at the doorstep of the reader. Physically taking the library to the reader may be possible in a limited way, but the vast amount of content available in the digital form can temporarily replace the need to be physically serving the needs of the reader. The librarians have to motivate readers to use e resources and provide them with requisite knowhow about available e resources and especially the Open Education Resources (OER) to the students and faculty alike.
While performing these tasks, the librarian felt the need to evaluate the existing awareness about different OERs available to the community so that efforts could be directed in
