 Abstract

The word 'Bhakti' is an enigmatic term to define. It is construed both as individual devotion as well as a socio-religious and literary movement, which makes it distinctive from other movements. As a social movement, it critiqued the upper caste orthodoxy or class hierarchy and believed in the equity and oneness of humankind. As a religious movement, it emphasized personal devotion to God without any mediation and the possibility of salvation for all through good deeds and austere living. As a literary movement, it provides a considerable impetus for the efflorescence of vernacular literature and liberated poetry from the eulogies of kings, infusing it with the themes of spirituality. Unlike other movements, it endeavoured for both the individual and the social upliftment of the lower strata of society. The word 'empowerment' has myriad connotations; however, the apt version of empowerment is when a person is not the victim of any complex--cast complex, religious complex, social complex, or any other. The Bhakti movement offered the marginalised subjects a platform to fight against all socio-religious inequalities and consequently helped them to come out of these imposed shackles or complexes. This paper reviews the Bhakti movement as a sui generis movement for the empowerment of ghettoised and marginalised subjects in all respects. It also explicates how the Bhakti movement helps us to cater to and tackle the current scenario of India, characterised by acute polarization and extremism.

 Abstract

Food is one of the most basic needs for human existence. Age-related dietary needs differ from those of childhood. Because children in developing nations like India do not receive enough nutrition, infant mortality rates are higher there. For this reason, it is essential to feed children enough food. For children, milk is the most important food because it provides them with energy and supports healthy growth and development during this critical period. Breast milk was considered a great food for newborns even in the Vedic Period. After delivery, the Rigveda advises nursing while reciting mantras. A number of ayurvedic publications highlight the benefits of breastfeeding under the heading of jatakarma. According to Ayurvedic literature, Stanya or breast milk, is one of the updhatu of rasa. Breastfeeding offers numerous health advantages to both the mother and the child. As soon as the baby is born, breastfeeding should start. The best method of providing care for a newborn is breastfeeding. Besides the overwhelming attachment it creates, breast milk is the perfect diet for them. This review concentrated on the idea of Stanya, or breast milk, as it was mentioned in Ayurvedic literatures and how important it is in the modern world.

 Abstract

Women's empowerment is a crucial process aimed at granting women access to and control over material and informational resources. This concept, first articulated in 1985 by Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN), empowers individuals, groups, and communities to take charge of their circumstances, thereby enhancing their quality of life. Women constitute an essential part of the labor force, and their economic involvement is intricately linked to overall development. The level of women's integration into economic development serves as an indicator of economic independence and social status. Women's empowerment encompasses equipping rural women with the necessary skills to undertake various tasks independently or collectively, granting them improved access to and control over societal resources. Empowerment is recognized as a pivotal strategy for enhancing the well-being of individuals, families, communities, as well as governmental and non-governmental agencies. It is crucial to continually refine women's empowerment strategies to ensure they are effective and yield tangible results. Notably, income earned by impoverished women tends to be prioritized for essential life needs, underscoring the significance of women as focal points in development efforts. When women work together in groups, it fosters a newfound sense of solidarity and cooperation, contributing to their economic independence.

 Abstract

Ductile Design is one of the most important aspects of RCC design in modern days. Earthquake can cause huge damage to life and property. Several attempts are made nowadays to increase the resistance of structures against earthquake forces (also termed as Seismic Forces). Ductile Design is one such design concept which if properly maintained on any structure can make the structure seismic resistant. More over ductile design also increases the strength and load carrying capacity of the structure. Ductile Design is done as per the guidelines and provisions provided in IS 13920 but at times for small buildings and structures, cost becomes an issue for constructing the building by following all the provisions provided in IS 13920 along with IS 456. This paper mainly provides a set of standard guidelines collected from various sources; which if maintained during the construction work, then the structure can also become earthquake resistant to some extent without any significant increase in the total cost of construction.

 Abstract

Learning disabilities are complex neurodevelopmental conditions that significantly impact a child's academic performance and socio-emotional well-being. The support and involvement of parents in remedial therapy play a crucial role in enhancing the child's overall development and educational progress. The purpose of this research is to explore the diverse perspectives of parents who have children with learning disabilities and their experiences with the school in terms of provision of services. The data for the study was gathered from 12 parents who agreed to participate in the study via a self-created Google form. The analysis reveals what all provisions, facilities and support the parents get from the school. Most of the parents responded positively reporting that the school provided the provisions and necessary facilities along with a motivating environment for the child. However, the evident fact was that there were few parents who were aware of the complete framework of legal facilities and services that a student with a learning disability has a right to.
