This study aimed to find the effectiveness of Zoom Supported Instruction in learning Matrices and Determinants and to assess the attitude of students towards Zoom Supported Instruction. Experimental method was adopted for this study with a sample of 180 Higher Secondary students belonging to 11th standard who were randomly selected from three schools. Out of these 180 students, 90 students were selected for the experimental group (Zoom Supported Instruction) and the remaining 90 students were selected for the control group (chalk and talk method). The pre- test and post- test were conducted using the Quizizz application. The attitude towards Zoom Supported Instruction was collected through a 5 point likert scale with the help of google forms. The results showed that the control group students achieved better than the experimental group students (Zoom Supported Instruction) which indicates that chalk and talk method is effective when compared to Zoom Supported Instruction. This might be due to the fact that students are more familiar with the chalk and talk method than the Zoom Supported Instruction. Due to the familiarity with the chalk and talk method, students might have performed better. However, Zoom Supported Instruction can be used in times of crisis to ensure that students do not suffer when offline classes are unable to be held and to further strengthen students' understanding. Some students in the classroom may find that the time allotted is insufficient. As a result, the teacher wishes to improve learning and provide more practice for that type of student. At that time, the Zoom Supported Instruction can be used.

Women rights are human rights. There is no necessity for this statement if there are no gender inequalities in the society. The patriarchy is responsible for an unequal world cutting across boundaries be developed or less developed, black or white, rich or poor. Women’s equal dignity and human rights as full human beings are enshrined in the basic instruments of today’s international community. From the Charter of the United Nations’ endorsement of the equal rights of men and women, to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the subsequent international treaties and declarations, the rights of women are made central to the vision of a democratic society. However, the fine words of these documents and the Vienna Declaration in 1993 and the declaration of Beijing in 1995 stand in sharp contrast to the daily reality of life for millions of women. There are several issues which suppress the prominence of women in public life. Of the 1.3 billion people living in poverty, 70% were women; the majority of the world’s refugees are women; female illiteracy is invariably higher than male illiteracy. Women and girl-children are treated as commodities in cross-border prostitution rackets and the pornography industry. Millions of girls are still subject to genital mutilation, while women in every country are regular victims of domestic violence. In many countries, women lack access to reproductive health care and every day women are targeted in armed conflicts. Women’s economic, social and cultural rights continue to be neglected. Women’s major contributions still remain invisible and unpaid and unaccountable. Their services are taken for granted, while similar service by men are recognized and adds to GDP. Her rights to claim her contributions to be included in the GDP remains unaddressed as this it is a discrimination and violation of human right. Above, all the female infanticide and foeticide are widely found cutting across the society. Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women has been passed long back but whether it is functioning with full vigour applying its provisions is a question. The women who are supposed to constitute half or more than half of the population given the scientific fact that women must be biologically strong tend to be declining in number due to son preference and other issues associated with men. There are states and districts in India particularly the developed states showing a decline in sex ratio accounting for less than 800 per thousand males. The theoretical reasons for such declining sex ratio is increasing son’s preference, but what is actually attributed is the dowry, security of girl children, etc. and for many others reasons we as the member of society is snatching the women’s rights that is right to survive……….. Our basic right- right to life. Hence, women’s rights must be protected as human rights as it is necessary for the proper development and progress of the society

The country has been impacted by shifts in society, the economy, and the lives of its citizens. The average age of the world's population is increasing, which is a problem in many regions of the planet because it results in an increase in the number of elderly people. In India, becoming older was never considered to be anything to be concerned about. In spite of this, the topic of ageing has recently arisen as a major social concern. Family institutions are currently facing issues in today's society relating to demographics, economics, and structures. Because of the ways in which society has evolved, people of a certain age, who are more frequently referred to as "the elderly," face a particular set of difficulties. This research article explores the difficulties linked to adjustment that older women who reside in care homes face, as well as the facilities that are available to help them.

In order to prepare the country for the challenges of the twenty-first century, the New Education Policy [I986] reinterpreted education's role as an instrument for the development of the country's human resources. One of the many inventive solutions included in this new policy is distance learning. According to the New Education Policy, lifelong learning is a desired educational goal. Education and learning style are closely linked because the way individuals learn can greatly impact their educational experience. An individual's preferred method of obtaining and processing information is referred to as their learning style. There are several different theories and models of learning styles, but some of the most common include visual, auditory, logical and kinesthetic/tactile. Numerous initiatives to conduct learning style research have been made in the 19th century. According to numerous studies, every person has a unique learning style, and various learning styles can affect how students "perceive, recall, understand, and solve problems" (Messick, 1976). Teachers must offer material in a manner that suits students' preferences if students desire a greater say in how it is presented; otherwise, their efforts will be futile (Gregoric, 1985). Researchers tried to identify and isolate specific characteristics of the learners in an effort to characterise the distinctive processes of learning (Keefe, 1987; Messick, 1976). For the present research, only four types of learning styles have been taken into consideration that includes visual, auditory, kinesthetic and logical. The present study was done to know the correlation between learning styles and academic achievement of B.Ed. distance learners. The sample size for the present study was comprised of 300 B.Ed. distance learners from YCMOU and IGNOU. The Tools used for collecting the data were the Learning style scale and Academic Achievement Results of the Students. Data were analysed by using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation. A significant correlation between the learning styles of English and Marathi medium was found. It was also found that there was no effect of learning style on Academic Achievement of B.Ed. distance learners as per Gender, age, or with regards to type of school. Conceptual definition of learning style- The way a person naturally or habitually acquires and processes information in a learning environment is referred to as their learning style. The cognitive, emotive, and physiological aspects of a person's capacity for learning are included in their learning styles. (Bodi, 1990) Operational definition of learning style - Learning styles here would be a set of observable characteristics or behaviours that indicate how an individual prefers to learn. There can be various learning styles. Here four types of learners have been looked into that is Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic and Logical. Keywords: Learning style, Academic achievement, B.Ed. distance learners

The 21st century has witnessed a tremendous flow of international investment, trade and financial transactions along with the integration and openness of international market across the globe. The developing countries are trying to attract foreign capital to boost up their domestic rates of investment and also to acquire new technology and managerial skills. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a long term investment made by a firm or individual in one country with all the risks and profit opportunities. It is an outcome of the mutual interest of multinational firms and host countries. Free flow of FDI eventually attracts huge foreign exchange, promotes industrialisation and international trade, enhances the GDP and Per Capita income and accelerates the socio-economic development of people and the nation as a whole. In the context of India, introduction of LPG on one hand and proactive and positive mind set of the planners on the other have further opened the economy for free inflow and outflow of investment into its different sectors. India is also considered, as the best investment destinations even by the trade block economies. Besides, free flow of FDI is considered as an indicator for economic development that results in increase in GDP, leads to trade openness, generates huge employment, enhances per capita income, boosts exports, and reduces wholesale price index and also exchange. Though scores of studies were carried out on FDI but studies on FDI inflows and their impact on the select economic variable using Multiple Regression Model are very scarce and scanty. The current study is an attempt to fill this gap. Keywords: Foreign Direct Investment, GDP, Multiple Regression Model, Economic Development.

The paper explores the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic and the subsequent closure of schools globally. The pandemic has caused irrevocable damage to the education system in human history affecting almost every country worldwide. The presented paper is an effort to understand and analyze the impact of learning loss, and its adverse effect on the learning outcomes of the upcoming generation. The loss of learning so caused is not simply the curricular learning that children's world had acquired if schools would have remained open but also include the ability to read, the ability to write and the ability to discuss; since all these abilities are the foundation to further learning. The author has reviewed various such studies done worldwide and the interventions carried out. Findings of these studies suggest that there is an adverse impact on marginalized children, girl children and children of migrant labourers. It also emphasizes the impact of learning loss in terms of language skills (reading, writing, speaking) along with the mathematical ability of the children. Another insight of the study is about the psychological stress on students, parents and caregivers due to the long closure of schools which is exponentially higher for vulnerable families. The catastrophe of education is also seen in learning poverty (the inability of a student to read and understand a simple story by the age of 10). This learning poverty is feared to be increased from 53% in low and middle-income countries to up to 70% due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The review comes out with various kinds of research done in this field and there is a need to take urgent action for minimizing the impact on all the stakeholders.

Education Policy lays particular emphasis on the development of the creative potential of each individual. It is based on the principle that education must develop not only cognitive capacities - both the ‘foundational capacities ’of literacy and numeracy and ‘higher-order’ cognitive capacities, such as critical thinking and problem solving – but also social, ethical, and emotional capacities and dispositions. The Digital India Campaign is helping to transform the entire nation into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. While education will play a critical role in this transformation, technology itself will play an important role in the improvement of educational processes and outcomes; thus, the relationship between technology and education at all levels is bidirectional. National Education Policy 2020 recognizes the importance of leveraging the advantages of technology while acknowledging its potential risks and dangers. It calls for carefully designed and appropriately scaled pilot studies to determine how the benefits of online/digital education can be reaped while addressing or mitigating the downsides. In the meantime, the existing digital platforms and on-going ICT-based educational initiatives must be optimized and expanded to meet the current and future challenges in providing quality education for all.
