Abstract: Assam's tea industry has an extensive and intricate history. The tea industry in Assam was established by the British company after losing its monopoly in china. It was a very labour intensive industry and for the growth of the tea plantations it was depended on extensive human labourers and suitable land. Through waste land regulations, the British got substantial tracts for tea plantations. The problem, however, was the labourers. This paper evaluates the living condition and what led the labourers to desert the tea plantation that had come to end their suffering in their native homeland. This paper looks into the Commissions published by the British government that helps to understand how the immigration process took place. The paper examines how the early planters confronted the labourers. This research explores how the planters dealt with the issue of labourers deserting their gardens. To comprehend their lives on the tea plantation of Assam, it is crucial to understand the type of abuse they were facing. To prevent any outside influences, the planters placed the immigrants in the restricted tea garden. This paper will explain the difficult living circumstances that forced some people to flee the garden because they could not put up with the abuse.

 Abstract

Contemporary education increasingly emphasizes ethical values, inclusivity, and holistic development along with cognitive development, highlighting the role of teachers in promoting value-based, holistic learning grounded in cultural ethos. In this context, the present study investigates teachers' awareness, perceptions, and implementation of Indian ethos, values, and professional development skills envisaged by NEP 2020. It investigates teachers' understanding of ethical and moral responsibilities in teaching, the role of Guru-Shishya Parampara, knowledge and application of NEP 2020 guidelines, practices promoting inclusivity and values, and attitudes toward evaluation and professional accountability. A structured questionnaire was used to survey higher education teachers on ethics, values, inclusivity, professional development, assessment, and digital practices, with data analyzed through descriptive and quantitative statistical tools. The findings provide insights into the extent to which teachers align their professional practices with Indian ethos and NEP 2020 guidelines. The study adds to the discussion on value-driven teacher professional development and highlights implications for nurturing ethically informed and culturally responsive teaching practices. Subsequent studies may expand the sample across diverse regions and educational strata, employ longitudinal and qualitative methodologies, and integrate perspectives of students, school educators, and administrators to examine the enduring effects of NEP 2020 on holistic, value-oriented education.

Abstract: Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's vision on governance and public policies is deeply rooted in principles of justice, equality, and democratic participation. He championed a governance framework that sought to dismantle entrenched social hierarchies, particularly the caste system, through state-led institutional reforms aimed at achieving social equity. Ambedkar emphasized the role of the state not merely as an administrative entity but as an agent of profound social transformation, advocating representational politics to empower marginalized groups, especially Dalits. His conception of democracy transcended periodic elections, envisioning it as "associated life," where communication, education, and active engagement reshape social realities and foster collective agency. Ambedkar believed that democracy must secure access, enablement, and fairness, integrate procedural equality while acknowledge individual merit and desert. He viewed justice as the foundational pillar of modern societies, requiring initial equality among citizens alongside constitutional and institutional mechanisms to mitigate social dominance and exclusion. Furthermore, his analysis extended to spatial and social dimensions of untouchability, recognizing that physical segregation reinforced social exclusion, thereby underscoring the need for policies fostering inclusiveness in both rural and urban contexts. Ambedkar's governance vision thus embodies a comprehensive ethical-political philosophy, combining normative commitments with practical strategies for institutional redesign to achieve equality, social justice, and democratic pluralism in India.

 Abstract

Wild Vegetables have long been used in traditional healthcare systems and are recognized as valuable sources of bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential. Rivea hypocrateriformis (Desr.) Choisy, a member of the family Convolvulaceae, is traditionally used as a vegetable and for the treatment of various ailments such as cough, headache and skin diseases. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the antioxidant potential of the methanolic leaf extract of Rivea hypocrateriformis using in vitro assays. Antioxidant activity was assessed through DPPH radical scavenging and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assays. The extract was also analysed for phytoconstituents using GC-MS. The extract exhibited concentration-dependent antioxidant activity, indicating its ability to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. The findings support the traditional use of the plant and suggest that it may serve as a valuable natural source of antioxidant compounds with potential applications in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations.

 Abstract

This paper investigate the subaltern resistance in current Tamil Literary fiction through a comparative analysis of two distinct ways of surviving psychologically and structurally, the defiant optimism of Captain Bhairavi as Sivagami in the novel The Dawn by Pon Kulendiren and fatalistic despair of Revathi in Imayam's A Women Burnt. In this framework of materialist feminist criticism and trauma, this paper also explores macro- political war between women and society that determine the boundaries set for women survival by this society. While Sivagami represent the strong mind that suppression of society which she fight against and came back as Captain Bairavi. Whereas Revathi, an engineer turned as ashes because of casteism, poverty and domestic violence that made herself to commit self-immolation in order to reclaim her bodily sovereignty. Through this juxtaposition of hopeful revolution and destructive ash. This paper focuses on the optimistic and pessimistic characters of the women who undergo difficult oppressions, and how the women should overcome by breaking all social boundaries which spoils their future.

 Abstract

The emergence of Thang-Ta in Manipur is deeply rooted in the region's history, warfare and cultural life of its people. It has emerged from the combat system for survival and state administration. 'Thang-Ta' is a composite word composing of 'Thang' meaning 'Sword' and 'Ta' meaning 'Spear.' The evolution from a traditional martial arts system to National sporting event and later becoming a specified school curriculum has a long history of its own. It was banned even from practice for long during the British Colonial Rule. Revival of this art form is a post-independent people led phenomena. During the 1980s and 1990s many new associations and institutions were formed for its revival. Later, it was first introduced as an optional subject in HSLC (High School Leaving Certificate) exam conducted by BOSEM from 2014. This paper would be a plain attempt to bring out the emergence of this Game- Thang-Ta.

 Abstract

The cover drive is an essential, highly technical stroke in cricket, requiring precise temporal and spatial coordination. This study aimed to develop a prediction model for cover drive performance based on selected kinematic variables during the stroke execution phase. Data were extracted from my PhD thesis and collected from LNIPE Gwalior, the N=15 right-handed senior female cricketers of MPCA. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to predict the total cover drive score based on four kinematic predictors: left knee angle, left elbow angle, right elbow angle, and center of gravity (CG). The model demonstrated a high predictive capacity (R2=0.747, F=7.37, p<0.05). Specifically, the left knee angle (p=0.004), right elbow angle (p=0.004), and CG position (p=0.006) emerged as significant predictors of shot proficiency. The resulting biomechanical model provides empirical targets for coaching, talent identification, and technical remediation in cricket batting.

 Abstract

The study of multiplication rings and multiplication modules occupies an important place in modern commutative algebra and module theory. These algebraic structures have emerged from the broader development of ring theory, ideal theory and module theory, providing powerful tools for understanding the relationships between ideals, submodules and algebraic systems. The concept of multiplication rings extends the classical notion of rings by emphasizing the multiplicative behavior of ideals, while multiplication modules generalize this idea to module theory by establishing a close correspondence between ideals of a ring and submodules of a module. The evolution of these concepts has significantly enriched algebraic research and has led to numerous theoretical advancements and practical applications in mathematics.

 Abstract

Multiplication rings and multiplication modules constitute an important area of modern abstract algebra, with significant applications in ring theory, module theory, commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. The concept of multiplication modules extends the notion of multiplication ideals in rings, where every submodule is generated by an ideal of the underlying ring. This property provides a strong relationship between the structure of a ring and the behavior of its modules, making multiplication modules an essential subject for theoretical investigation. The present study aims to explore the fundamental properties, classifications and applications of multiplication rings and modules while examining their role in understanding the algebraic structure of modules over commutative rings.
