 Abstract

Classroom engagement and placement outcomes are two of the most significant indicators of institutional effectiveness in higher education. In today's competitive academic environment, faculty members are expected not only to deliver theoretical knowledge but also to develop employability skills, critical thinking abilities, communication competence, leadership qualities, and industry readiness among students. The changing demands of the global job market have transformed the role of teachers from traditional instructors to facilitators, mentors, and career guides who actively contribute to the holistic development of learners. This research article examines the role of faculty strategies in improving classroom engagement and enhancing placement outcomes among students in higher education institutions. The study explores innovative pedagogical practices such as collaborative learning, flipped classrooms, experiential learning, mentorship programs, industry-academia interaction, skill-based training, project-oriented teaching, and technology integration as effective methods for increasing student participation and professional preparedness. The theoretical foundation of the study is primarily based on Alexander Astin's Student Engagement Theory and the Constructivist Learning Theory associated with Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. Astin's theory emphasizes that students achieve better academic and professional outcomes when they actively invest physical and psychological energy in learning activities, while constructivist theory highlights the importance of active participation, collaboration, and experiential learning in knowledge construction. These theoretical perspectives support the argument that learner-centered faculty practices significantly influence students' intellectual growth, communication competence, confidence, and employability skills.

 Abstract

This paper presents a comparative study of William Shakespeare's Hamlet and Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's Devdas, examining how two culturally distinct texts construct tragic protagonists shaped by internal flaws and external pressures. Both protagonists - Hamlet and Devdas - are iconic figures whose inability to act decisively leads to their downfall. While Hamlet's procrastination is intellectual and philosophical, Devdas's indecision is emotional and psychological. Grounded in Aristotelian theory and modern interpretations of tragedy, the study explores the evolution of the tragic hero from classical nobility to psychological and social realism. Hamlet is analysed as a Renaissance tragic figure whose intellectual indecision, moral hesitation, and existential reflection function as hamartia, leading to delayed revenge and catastrophic consequences. In contrast, Devdas represents a modern Indian tragic protagonist whose emotional fragility, pride, and inability to resist rigid social hierarchies result in self destruction and unfulfilled love.

 Abstract

Groundwater depletion has emerged as a critical challenge in the semi-arid regions of Andhra Pradesh, particularly in the Rayalaseema region. Muddanur Gram Panchayat (GP), located in Muddanur mandal of YSR Kadapa district, faces irregular rainfall, high runoff, and declining water tables. This paper explores the application of staggered trenches and dugout ponds as community-based water conservation structures in . Staggered Muddanur trenches on hill slopes reduce runoff and enhance infiltration, while dugout ponds in valley bottoms collect rainwater and recharge groundwater. Integrating these measures at the micro-watershed scale can improve water security, support agriculture, and strengthen climate resilience in the GP.

 Abstract

Increased popularity of herbal hair oils and polyherbal formulations, especially in the management of scalp disorders and hair growth, has been driven by the increasing need in dermatology and cosmetology is the use of natural and safer alternatives. A common belief of conventional synthetic products is its side effects and so a transition is being undertaken to more dependable plant-based remedies that have a therapeutic and nutritional effect. Phytochemicals, including flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins and phenols, are also crucial in increasing hair follicle activity, improved scalp health, antioxidative stress as well as antimicrobial activities. The objective of this narrative review is to combine previous literature on the phytochemical profiling and the comparative efficacy of polyherbal formulations of hair oil in scalp health and growth of hair. The method is grounded on an extensive literature-informed synthesis of existing research based on pharmacological activities, formulation strategy and reported results without adhering to a rigid systematic review guideline. The results are that polyherbals formulations show a synergistic-effect and an increase in hair density and scalp condition as well as a dandruff reduction. Such considerations point to the possibilities of phytochemical-abundant herbal oils as recommended and safer substitutes in hair care, with the necessity of further standardization and clinical confirmation

CR oral drug delivery systems are controlled release Systems that are meant to ensure that the plasma drug concentrations are constant, that dose is reduced and that patients adhere better than other conventional formulations. Nevertheless, predictable drug release and a dependable in vitro-in vivo relationship is one of the major challenges in pharmaceutical development. The goal of the present research was to optimize a new formulation of controlled release and develop a strong in vitroin vivo correlation (IVIVC) to determine in vivo performance based on in vitro data. The systematic design of experiments (DoE) was used to maximize formulation variables such as polymer concentration and matrix composition. The ready-made formulations were tested by in vitro dissolution investigations by using standard USP apparatus and in vivo pharmacokinetic tests to measure such parameters as Cmax, Tmax, and AUC. The optimized formulation showed a regulated and maintained drug release pattern with enhanced pharmacokinetic functioning. It was found that there was a high correlation between the in vitro dissolution and in vivo absorption with an IVIVC of level A which is high predictability of the model. The results affirm that the optimized controlled release system improves therapeutic efficacy, provides long-term effects of drugs, and also lowers the dosing rate, thus making it a promising approach to enhanced delivery of drugs orally.

 Abstract

The elderly population in India is increasing rapidly, creating major challenges related to healthcare access and affordability. Most elderly people live in rural areas and belong to economically weaker sections of society. Many suffer from chronic diseases, reduced mobility, and lack of proper healthcare facilities. Social factors such as gender inequality, widowhood, illiteracy, and dependency further affect their health conditions. The study examines the major barriers faced by elderly people in accessing affordable healthcare services in India. It also analyzes the role of income, employment, insurance coverage, and social support in determining healthcare access. The research is based on descriptive and analytical methods using secondary data from reports, surveys, and health studies. Findings show that limited financial protection, low awareness of welfare services, and inadequate rural healthcare infrastructure increase the vulnerability of elderly people. Government initiatives such as Ayushman Bharat have improved insurance coverage, but significant gaps still remain. The study concludes that stronger healthcare policies, improved awareness, and accessible geriatric care services are essential for ensuring healthy aging in India.
