Li-Lan Chuang, Ph.D.Abstract: Background: Breastfeeding promotes the physical and mental well-being of both mothers and infants. However, mothers may encounter numerous challenges that lead to early cessation of breastfeeding. Nurses play a key role in supporting and assisting mothers to achieve successful breastfeeding. As part of maternity nursing education, breastfeeding content is included in the undergraduate nursing curriculum. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the learning effectiveness of using an online educational game platform on breastfeeding, developed by a Department of State Health Services, as a supplemental learning tool. Methods: A quasi-experimental, two-group pretest-posttest design was adopted. Participants were third-year nursing students enrolled in a maternity nursing course at a university of science and technology in northern Taiwan. The intervention group used the online English-language game platform with Chinese translation support. Instruments included a demographic questionnaire, Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale in Chinese and the System Usability Scale (SUS). A total of 156 students were recruited: 102 in the intervention group and 54 in the control group. The mean age was 21.53 (±0.78) years, and most participants were female (85.5%). |

Arvind Kumar ,Dr.Sanjeeva Kumar PandeyAbstract: This study studied the relationship between self-acceptance and academic achievement among ninth graders in the Begusarai District. Stratified random sampling was employed by the investigator to choose the sample. Participants were 300 ninth-grade students from 4 schools in the Begusarai District. The research instruments utilized for data collection were the Self-Acceptance inventory developed and standardized by Dr. Kakkar (Patiala, 1984), and the data acquired consisted of the IXth grade students' average quarterly examination scores. The t-test and Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient were utilized for data analysis. Standard IX Dalit and Non-Dalit students exhibited no significant link between Self- Acceptance and Academic Achievement. |

Dr. Sandeep KaurAbstract: Primary education in South Asia faces a persistent crisis stemming from inadequate foundational Early Language and Literacy (ELL) development, fundamentally rooted in the complex, multilingual educational environment. This paper scrutinizes the diverse sociolinguistic landscape, utilizing a foundational 2019 UNICEF study and current research syntheses (2020–2025). The analysis confirms that a significant proportion of children are taught through a non-native Medium of Instruction (MoI), which results in a "double learning disadvantage" (Jhingran, 2019). This disadvantage arises because students achieve social fluency (BICS) relatively quickly but neglect the crucial five to seven years required for mastering Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP), essential for deep conceptual understanding (Mohanty, 2024). Recent, progressive policy shifts, notably India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, now strongly endorse mother-tongue instruction until at least Grade 5 (Behera et al., 2025). The study establishes that language is the primary medium for thought, making strong L1 literacy skills essential for equitable learning outcomes. It proposes that Mother-Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB MLE), reinforced by UNESCO’s 2025 guidance, is the most effective strategy. The paper critically concludes that this policy intent is continuously sabotaged by structural failures, including resource scarcity, insufficient teacher training, and powerful socio-economic resistance to L1 schooling (Ali & Fernando, 2023). A three-pronged action plan is proposed to bridge the significant gap between high-level policy and fragmented classroom practice. |

Mr. Dhavale Sidhant Madhavrao Dr. Balaji MudholkarAbstract: This research paper presents a detailed historical account of how rural development schemes in India emerged, evolved, and gradually reached the grassroots level, with a special focus on their implementation in Parbhani District of Maharashtra. It begins by tracing early community development efforts before independence, which laid the foundation for later rural interventions. After independence, the Government of India introduced a series of programmes aimed at nation-building and improving agricultural productivity, especially during the 1950s and 1960s. Over time, the priorities of rural development shifted from increasing food production during the Green Revolution era to implementing poverty alleviation programmes for the rural poor during the 1970s to the 1990s. In the period after the year 2000, the focus moved toward rights-based entitlements, social protection, and rural infrastructure expansion. The paper explains how each phase of development brought significant changes in policies as well as administrative structures. In Parbhani District, these schemes were gradually adapted to local needs and institutionalized through the coordinated efforts of the Zilla Parishad, block-level departments, and Gram Panchayats. These institutions played essential roles in local planning, selecting beneficiaries, distributing funds, and monitoring progress. The study emphasizes how local conditions such as drought, resource limitations, political factors, and levels of community participation shaped actual implementation by presenting Parbhani as a smaller reflection of the national rural development process, This narrative highlights that national policies become meaningful only when interpreted and applied at the district and village levels. The paper therefore contributes to a deeper understanding of how rural development policies are transformed into practical action in everyday rural life. |

Dr Anita BhattAbstract: Ancient grains, particularly millets, are emerging as potent instruments of global influence in contemporary international relations. Against the backdrop of rising concerns over food security, environmental sustainability, and cultural preservation, these resilient crops are reclaiming a central place in global discourse. Millets offer sustainable solutions to pressing global challenges such as climate change, nutritional insecurity, and public health disparities, positioning them as catalysts for international cooperation and development. This paper explores how millets can foster international cooperation and sustainable development. It asks two research questions: (1) Can millets serve as instruments for building global partnerships that promote sustainability, food security, and cultural exchange? (2) How does India’s cultural and regional influence shape global perceptions and adoption of millet-based cuisine? The study introduces “Millet Diplomacy”—using millets as tools for international collaboration and global influence. It highlights India’s leadership through policy advocacy, development programs, and cultural diplomacy, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Two hypothesis guide the research: a) Millet-based initiatives can create new diplomatic partnerships focused on food security and climate resilience, b) India’s global promotion of millets, including the International Year of Millets (2023), can strengthen South–South cooperation and influence global food systems. By examining production trends, policies, international initiatives, and culinary practices, the paper identifies challenges and suggests strategies to use millets as bridges between nations. |
