Abstract: Learning theories that evolved from the behaviourist, cognitivist and the constructivist paradigm, when applied in mathematics classroom with appropriate teaching strategies, lead to lower and higher order thinking skills in students. In the present study, the investigator developed an Instructional package for the mathematics topic "Real numbers‟ of the class IX level. The package was mainly structured with constructivist strategies like generalization, visualization and estimation along with cognitivist teaching strategies for concept clarity. It was implemented by the investigator on class IX students of the GSHSEB school, India. The same topic was taught to a statistically equated Control group by the conventional method. T-test was used to compare the pretest and the posttest scores for each of the levels – comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation for the Control and the Experimental group. A significant difference in the mean for all the levels except for the evaluation level, was observed in the Experimental group.

Abstract: Development is a wide expansive concept. It can broadly be categorized into three perspectives – political, economic, and social/moral. This paper, however, looks at economic development narrowing the discussion to women‟s economic development and the challenges women face in Nigeria as a result of their exclusion from policy formation. This paper is aimed at highlighting the gender-specific impact of development strategies and policies; the role of the United Nations (UN) in bringing women into the development process- as active participants and potential agents of change in global political economy and development. Economic development here means that people should be able to satisfy their material needs more or less adequately. They should participate in decision-making process.........

Abstract: Philosophy as a discipline amongst other things provides the needed skills for rigor in critical thinking on a wide range of issues both of ancient and contemporary concerns. These it achieves using the instrumentality of logic from an ontological framework. Her unique and painstaking training opens up the students to independence in reasoning outside the box with clarity of purpose and forthrightness. In a world of information and communication technology at its best, there are enormous potentials to be explored in the area of compelling and engaging prowess in writing especially since there is a dearth of white collar jobs. Thus this work attempted to show in a lucid manner, how critical reflective thinking with the right mix, can be an entrepreneurial hub.

Abstract: This paper discusses the status of mental illness in Kenya from an educational perspective with regard to awareness, and attention to school pupils experiencing mental disorders. In most cases such pupils drop out of school through expulsion for misbehaviour, stigmatization if the mental illness is obvious, or inability to cope with curriculum. Yet education is a right for every child born in the Universe. According to World Health Organization, 4 in 10 people are likely to suffer from a mental illness in their life time. Majority of the world population are children and adolescents and consequently, the number of children experiencing mental issues could be higher than that of adults. While attempts have been made to address for mental health for general public, there are few programs tailored for children, especially in Kenya where health budget is wanting. This paper discusses the need to involve the community, teachers and the students as a way of broadening the field to assist the youth in addressing mental health issues.

Abstract: This research paper aims to study the role of National Institute for Transforming India (NITI) Aayog in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Human Development. India is home to nearly 17% of the population of the world and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) progress and achievement in the East and South Asia Region will be impacted by the demography in India. The role of national and sub-national agencies in India may also serve as a best practice for cross-country references for other nations. Another important aim is also the convergence India has achieved through the NITI Aayog in setting the National Development Agenda and matching it up with the SDGs.

Abstract: This paper deals with the economic ideas which were proposed by the father of Indian constitution Dr. Bhim Rao Ambadkar1. His economic contributions in public finance, agriculture economics, state management system, problems of labours, Indian caste system & economic development are a few which are discussed in this paper. Economic thoughts of Babasaheb did not gain so much of popularity in the main stream economics, the reason being that he was more popular as a dalit leader rather than a trained economist. But this does not reduce the importance of his thoughts. The significance of his economic thoughts can be judged by their adoption at various level of India's economic development

Abstract: Although written over 400 years ago, Hamlet remains one of the most imitated and relevant plays in contemporary society. Interpretations of Shakespeare's classic tale of revenge have appeared in some surprising places: children's TV shows and movies, the popular Sunday comic strip, the popular TV series about a corrupt biker gang, and other well-known shows, movies, and best-selling contemporary novels. William Shakespeare wrote Hamlet around 1600, telling the story of a prince grieving the death of his father and the too-quick remarriage of his mother to his uncle. The play uses mental health issues, both real and fake, as a means of illustrating.......

Abstract: India's democratic system of government was influenced by the independence movement in India, which placed a strong focus on freedom and self-rule. However, issues like inequality and corruption continue. Tensions between religious and ethnic groupings have been exacerbated by the partition of India in 1947, which was accompanied by acts of communal violence. Although the Green Revolution changed India's agricultural landscape, it also led to environmental deterioration and farmer inequity. Although caste-based discrimination was made public by the Dalit movement, marginalised populations still experience social and economic inequalities.......

Abstract: The paper describes the definition as well as the nature of two religious groupings-the church and the sect, and an attempt has been made to answer the questions–what is a sect? What is a church? What kind of relationship exists between the two? In what respect, both are similar or different? What is their attitude towards the world? Can a sect be routinized into a church?.

Abstract: Currently, a political literary discourse is essential given the political upheavals that have engulfed African nations. In order to influence and redirect cultural behavior, beliefs, and values, the creative writer may utilize his work to critically assess contemporary political conditions, since the author is often seen as an emancipator of the people. As a result, literature has the ability to influence people's views on politics and how to effect political change. Using the structural functional approach to literature, the study examines a few selected works to show how political concerns have been recurrent themes in both pre- and post-independence Africa. The use of English in political circles and the various literary techniques used by African authors to address the threat of oppression and poor leadership in post-independence Africa are also examined in this paper.
