REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN MAO FOLK-TALES: A GENDER PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

This paper explores the portrayal and influence of women in Indian folklore, specifically within the Mao society. It delves into myths and folktales, highlighting the significant roles women play in creation narratives and familial dynamics. Through examples like the legend of Dzϋlimosϋro, the text illustrates the intertwining of the spiritual realm, the natural world, and mankind, emphasizing women\'s central position. It also examines how cultural values are conveyed through tales, such as endurance, forgiveness, and the importance of familial promises. The discussion extends to specific stories like \"Bunio and Koshuni\" and \"Asha,\" analyzing their moral dimension and societal reflections. Themes of sincerity, betrayal, and the struggle for recognition permeate these narratives, shedding light on the multifaceted roles of women within Mao society. The paper also highlights the importance of oral traditions in preserving cultural heritage, focusing on the Mao village of Makhel as a cultural hub. Furthermore, it addresses the under-researched topic of women\'s influence in folklore, emphasizing the need for further exploration and analysis. Ultimately, this study aims to shed light on the nuanced representations of women in Mao folklore and their enduring impact on societal values and norms. The abstract concludes with a call for further research into the representation of women in folklore, aiming to uncover latent causes of injustice and misrepresentation in their lives.

EXAMINING KANT’S INFLUENCE ON MODERN METAPHYSICAL THOUGHT AND EPISTEMOLOGY

Abstract

Kant\'s epistemology centers around the notion that while humans experience the world through sensory data (empiricism), the mind plays an active role in structuring these experiences via innate categories and concepts (rationalism). He posits that knowledge arises from the interaction between sense experience (phenomena) and these mental structures, which leads to his distinction between the noumenon (things as they are in themselves, beyond human experience) and the phenomenon (things as they appear to human perception). In metaphysics, Kant challenges traditional assumptions by arguing that the human mind cannot know the ultimate reality (noumenal realm) but only the reality as structured by human perception and understanding. This limits metaphysical inquiry to the realm of phenomena and reshapes metaphysical debates regarding existence, causality, and substance. His Transcendental Idealism redefines the limits of human cognition and continues to influence modern philosophy, from existentialism to post-structuralism.

A STUDY ON STRATEGIES FOR STUDENTS TO HANDLE PEER PRESSURE AND ROLE OF TEACHERS

Abstract

Peer pressure is something that all adolescents have in common and is difficult to escape. Peer pressure generally applies to youth, especially teenage children. People are social animals, so peer pressure is a part of human nature; some teenagers are more likely to get influenced and change under pressure, whereas others are better able to resist and stand on their ground. This Research will focus on various factors influencing the behaviour of teenagers encountering peer pressure. The outcome of the Research will benefit the students, the school administrators, the teachers, and especially the parents concerned about their children\'s behaviour. This study will also help the school administrators or a few psychiatrists to decide the Action-plan for adopting the measures to be taken to recover the deteriorating moral values and academic performance of the students.

A RESEARCH STUDY ON THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCES THE RANDOM MOBILITY OF FEMALE STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES BETWEEN DIFFERENT ACADEMIC FIELDS

Abstract

The variables impacting the random mobility of female students with disabilities across several academic domains in higher education are examined in this study. The research looks at how these students\' educational paths are shaped by intersecting issues with gender, disability, and academic choices. While switching across academic disciplines may be a reflection of individual goals and adaptive techniques, structural obstacles and a lack of support—rather than well-informed choices or preferences—are often the driving forces behind mobility for female students with disabilities. According to preliminary research, discriminatory behaviors in several academic sectors, insufficient support networks, and inaccessible infrastructure are often the causes of mobility. For example, STEM fields provide more obstacles because of their rigorous technical or physical requirements, lack of accommodations, and gender prejudice. Conversely, disciplines like the humanities and social sciences, which are seen as more inclusive, are often used as backup plans, even if they don\'t initially fit with the students\' interests or professional aspirations. The research emphasizes how important it is to create a more equal and inclusive learning environment for female students with impairments so they may pursue their careers without unnecessary obstacles. Enhancing institutional support networks, offering mentoring possibilities, increasing faculty and peer awareness, and putting specific policies into place to close accessibility gaps across disciplines are some of the recommendations. In order to guarantee that academic mobility becomes a matter of informed choice rather than necessity, this study identifies crucial areas for intervention by analyzing the variables influencing random mobility among female students with disabilities. In order to support a higher education system that enables all students to succeed in their selected academic and professional routes, the results are intended to educate institutions, instructors, and policymakers.

A RESEARCH TO EXPLORE THE EFFECT OF EDUCATION QUALITY ON STUDENT RETENTION IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

India\'s high rate of higher education dropouts puts individual goals, institutional effectiveness, and society growth at risk. This thesis examines higher education dropout rates in India using an advanced research methodology that considers academic, institutional, psychological, and socioeconomic factors. Using main and secondary data, the study examines the effects of financial limitations, academic readiness, institutional support, and sociocultural norms on dropout rates. The findings show that financial worries continue to affect student attrition, particularly for those who are struggling financially. Academic obstacles include learning disabilities and a lack of preparedness raise dropout rates. Resource limitations, out-of-date curriculum, and staff assistance all affect student retention. Additionally, female and underprivileged students are disproportionately impacted by sociocultural concerns including gender norms and family responsibilities. The study emphasizes the need of comprehensive strategies that include these interrelated factors. Among the recommended changes are more courses, financial assistance, academic support, and regulations pertaining to gender and cultural awareness. Counseling and mentoring are highlighted as strategies to reduce psychological barriers such as loneliness and stress. This thesis adds to the corpus of literature by analyzing issues with student retention in India and suggesting remedies. The information provided helps policymakers, educational institutions, and stakeholders create focused programs that promote India\'s educational development objectives.

A STUDY TO RECOGNIZE THE BARRIERS TO CRICKET PARTICIPATION IN RURAL SCHOOLS AND URBAN SCHOOLS

Abstract

With a focus on the various factors that prevent students from participating in cricket, this review study examines the barriers to cricket participation in both urban and rural educational institutions. Examining the socioeconomic, physical, cultural, and psychological barriers that schools face in both urban and rural settings, the study synthesizes existing literature. Student involvement in cricket is occasionally hampered in remote schools by a lack of facilities, a shortage of trained coaches, financial constraints, and cultural norms. On the other hand, despite having greater resources, urban schools face difficulties like high academic pressure, crowded schedules, and competition from a wide range of extracurricular activities. Furthermore, the influence of current sports trends, gender prejudices, and socioeconomic disparities are important factors influencing participation rates in both situations. In order to boost cricket participation and promote inclusion in both rural and urban school settings, the document highlights the need for particular activities, such as regulatory changes, improved infrastructure, and community involvement. To increase young children\'s love and accessibility to cricket, a complete approach that addresses these challenges is required.
