 Abstract

The NEP 2020 was approved by the Union Cabinet of India on 29 July 2020. The Ministry of Human Resource Development formed a committee headed by former ISRO Chairman Dr. K Kasturirangan, who outlined the vision of India's new education system. The New Education Policy addresses challenges the current education system faces such as Quality, Affordability, Equity, Access, and Accountability. NEP 2020 envisions an India-centric education system that contributes directly to transforming our nation sustainably into an equitable and vibrant society filled with knowledge and by providing high-quality education to all. The National Policy on Education (NPE) is a policy formulated by the Government of India to promote and regulate education in India. The policy covers elementary education to higher education in both rural and urban India. NPE 1986 was promulgated by the Government of India by Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. This article emphasizes the major differences between the current education policy i.e., the New Education Policy of 2020 and the New Policy on Education 1986. An attempt had been also made to figure out the challenges in the existing policy that led to the emergence of NEP 2020. The data has been collected through various sources, i.e., journals, reports, print media, and other government websites. This article is purely based on secondary data. Though NEP 2020 has new targets to be achieved by 2035, nevertheless it has its own merits and limitations the efforts have been made to highlight them. As NEP 2020 is one of the most promising policies introduced, the question relies on to what extent the policy's objectives will be achieved.

 Abstract

Social media is one of the most sought-after mediums for the transmission of information these days, let alone for advertising and promotion. It has become like "there is no media without social media" and the most important aspects of this system is influencer marketing. Using the example of the fashion brand H and M (Hennes and Mauritz), this case study focuses on how this brand uses social media and especially influencer marketing to promote its brand and gain communication about its brand from our perspective. The main goal here is to address influencer marketing as a more than reliable marketing strategy, especially for fashion brands. This study also highlights how H and M use arguably the 2 most popular social media for the common man, Facebook and Instagram, to effectively utilize the large base they provide for marketing strategies. With the latest trends in social media, such as the popularity of Instagram reels in particular, this is nothing but icing on the cake when it comes to H and M's interests. We see that the main role of marketing in the fashion industry is to make designs visible and successfully sell them to customers, and what better platform than social media to do this. It is also no wonder that consumer habits, let alone shopping habits, have changed since the birth of social networks. It is also important to note that the fashion buying cycle of the average customer is 6 weeks, which is a very short period of time. In fast fashion companies like H and M, the cycle is even shorter. In addition, it is worth noting the commitments that H and M provide to their loyal customers. This study also provides recommendations on how H and M can increase their chances of future development. This study also provides detailed notes on some of the influencers that H and M worked with and how they did it, and of course the success mantra when it comes to social media, especially influencer marketing.

 Abstract

The beginning of social work not only in India but in Europe and America was concentrated on micro issues of the society. It mainly focuses on the individual concerns by putting individual as a problematic person. However, this approach sees individual as a subject of social work practice. Unlike micro practice, macro social work practices focuses on broad issues which is based on the assumption that environment and the outer structure of the society has certain difficulty and hence, it should be dealt with. The macro social work approach further focuses on challenging the structural inequalities to bring about change in the society. Social work practice in India which was heavily focuses on the functional issues of the society ignored the issues that has emerged from the social structure. Nevertheless, there were few attempts by social work practitioners during 1980's to bring the structural issues in centre of social work practice. The experience of practising social work in rural areas is different from that in urban areas. This has led to the development of a rural specialisation in the social work profession. In this article, the author draws upon his experience of more than 30 years as a social worker in rural settings, to explore the relationship between rurality and professional social work practice and education.

 Abstract

Education, widely regarded as the key to human and societal development, has raised critical issues and emancipated the human thought process in the pursuit of human liberty and dignity. In this sense, a quality higher education should enable personal accomplishment and enlightenment, constructive civic life, and productive human resources for nation building. With this context in mind and the view of educational quality indicators in mind, this paper conducts an empirical analysis of students' perceptions of the quality of higher education in the state of Odisha. The study used a structured questionnaire to conduct a comparative study of 209 students from two colleges in the Puri district. The paper concluded that higher education in Odisha is average, and the quality of higher education is hampered by structural and functional mechanisms, specifically the curriculum structure, libraries, and laboratory facilities, and the function of classroom and teaching facilities. According to the students' opinions, it will be improved by the self-assessment of teachers and management, proper vision, and the facilitation of desirable educational skills among the teachers by the government.
