Item Open Access Health Care Spending in India: Pre & Post Reforms Perspective(BOOKWELL, 2014) Laha, Sidhartha Sankar; Mandal, Amal; Laha, Sidhartha SankarHealth is one of the vital indicators reflecting the quality of life and therefore it has been rightly said, 'Health is wealth'. Though preservation and promotion of health is one of the most basic human rights, India is stilllaggingbehind in realising this aspiration. Public health is concerned with the health of the community as a whole. Its key goal is to reduce population's exposure to disease. It has been said that: "Health care is vital to all of us some of the time, but public health is vital to all of us all of the time".Item Open Access Perception of Indian Consumers Towards Green Products(IGI Global, 2020) Chakraborty, Prabal; Laha, Sidhartha Sankar; Sinha, Madhabendra; Das, Ramesh ChandraBoth consumers and corporate houses are paying attention to environmental issues, and green products are gaining momentum as a result. This chapter studies the concept of green marketing along with its important aspects influencing the buying decision of consumers in South Kolkata only. Convenience sampling method was adopted to select the total sample of266respondents consisting of 103 males and 163females with the help of structured open-and closed-ended questionnaires. Both primary and secondary data collection methods were adopted here in this research. Independent variables are environment friendly, packaging, innovative, quality, brand value, and dependent variables purchase intention. A mixed result is observed regarding perceptions towards green products. Thus, based on such findings, no such generalization can be made and have to consider heterogeneity among culture, demographic, geographical variables, which varies from place to place.Item Open Access Concept of Citizenship in India: A Constitutional Evolution(Bharti Publications, 2021) Dey Sarkar, Soma; Bhange, C.

Gender discrimination is a major cause of concern for any feminist or social activist, Different gender roles are ascribed to people by way of this discrimination. Men are given specific roles by virtue of their capacity which women are considered not to have. Women are allotted roles as part of their obligations for the family, society, their living or their very existence, which ,as if ,are not applicable to men. The most crucial relationship which is responsible for the dynamism in a society and hence its progression is that of a male-female partnership in a family. The very term 'partner' indicates an attitude of mutual love, respect, understanding. Now, the situation in a family is where men and women partners are differently occupied in household chores as they are expected to be. But the conflict arises here. Both have complaints of being discriminated. They feel pressurised, stressed. Hence, the small issues rise to larger scales which finally disturb the relationship to any extent as handled Even for those who manage to ignore or suppress matters, the allegations do not vanish but are rather consciously taken care of with individual level of emotional maturity. My point is that the tension remains — whether dormant or active,. In this context, I like to refer to the book 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus' by John Gray, a relation to his success in holding a dignified relation with others. partnership relations are to a great extent successful with the implementation of differential treatment towards the other. By differential treatment, I refer to 'treating differently' as discussed by John Gray. What I want to focus at this crucial juncture of understanding is that 'giving differential treatment' or 'treating differently' is not necessarily 'treating unequally', hence is not necessarily 'unjustified'. If the basic purpose behind Gender Justice or say any other form of Justice for humans is to confirm mutual respect and dignity, then such dignity can surely be guaranteed by treating each other differently if that helps in understanding one another better, if that helps in sustaining a relationship meaningfully. Therefore equal treatment as demanded by Gender Justice is not to be taken literally. Having comprehended the inner import of the term, we may interpret it in the context of partnership relations by saying that every partner in a relation deserves to be treated differently by the other in relation to his/her own, and thereby given equal treatment. Hence Justice towards Gender in a partnership relation is headed towards Justice towards the relationship in which both the genders are involved. If for the purpose of healthy partnership, genderisation or essentialisation is needed in treatment, it is not opposed to justice in any way. Attitude is important. Interpretations are important. "Love is magical, and it can last, if we remember our differences..”Item Open Access Mental Stress Coping in Pandemic Situation: Perspectives of Samkhya-Yoga Philosophy of Education(Authors press, 2021) Dutta, Rupnar; Rauth, Amit; K. ArunlalThis paper deals with the crucial question that how to cope up with our increasing mental stress in this pandemic situation due to the outbreak of COVID-19 across the globe. The main objective of this paper is to discuss, how we can trounce our mental stress in the Samkhya-Yoga perspective. Samkhya-Yoga is a very noteworthy school of Indian Philosophy. The core goal of the Indian Philosophy is to achieve ‘Mokṣa’, i.e., liberation from pain, sorrow, sufferings, etc. All of these belong to diverse mental states. The indispensable aim of the said school of philosophy is to liberate ourselves from every painful states of mind. Mind is here equivalent to ‘Citta’. According to their vision, this liberation is achievable only through Yoga. Yoga is nothing but the ‘Cittavṛtti- nirodhaḥ’. This paper have discussed the nature of Citta, Cittavṛtti or Mind fluctuations, different states of Citta and the educational process by which we withdraw the transformed Citta from external world. If we are able to withdraw Citta from everything, our mind or Citta can feel the ‘Ēkātmatā’ or Oneness with the self and then only there will be Sat-Chit-Ānanda or Existence-Consciousness-Bliss which ultimately show the avenue to surmount our mental stress.Item Open Access Political Trust, Democracy and the Pandemic: The Indian Scenario(Authorspress, 2021) Chakraborty, Ranjita; Rauth, Amit; K. ArunlalSince the last fifteen years there has been a vigorous debate on the nature of democracy in the entire world. Academic debates have focused on questions ranging from the trends seen, emergence of authoritarianism coupled with decline in popular sovereignty and thereby leading to the question of "political trust". In fact, the very idea of democracy has come under the scanner. Amidst this, the pandemic has not only renewed our interest in democracy but we have also witnessed a decline in respect to the values of democracy by the governments in the name of managing the crisis along with strong dictatorial tendencies and usurpation of freedom. It is against this backdrop that the paper seeks to reflect upon the nature of democracy worldwide and in India 10 particular. It would also focus on the trends related to political trust in India.Item Open Access Education of Lifelong Learning in the Age of Covid-19: A Review Perspective(Serials Publications (P) Ltd., 2021) Laha, Sidhartha Sankar; Ghosh, Tapan Kumar; Bagchi, Kanak KantiItem Open Access Can MGNREGA be a Tool for Rural Livelihood Recovery after COVID-19?(Authorspress, 2021) Laha, Sidhartha Sankar; Bhuimali, Anil; Ghoshal, Sujoy KantiItem Open Access Chow mahinay dui maile bon khaya phelche ছও মাহিনায় দুই মাইল বন খায়া ফেলছে(Debarati Mallik, 2021-01) Mukhopadhyay মুখোপাধ্যায়, Urbi উর্বী; Mondal, SusantaItem Open Access Liberalisation of the Indian economy and the demand for resources by state governments in federal India(Victorious Publishers, 2021-02-14) Jana, Arun K; Verma, Saroj KumarItem Open Access Dharmiyo akhyane prothom bhromon kahini : Bijoyram Sener Tirthamangal ধর্মীয় আখ্যানে প্রথম ভ্রমণ কাহিনী : বিজয়রাম সেনের তীর্থমঙ্গল(Bangiya Sahitya Samsad, 2021-03) Paul পাল, Sharmistha শর্মিষ্ঠা; Maitra, Manik; Mondal, TapashItem Open Access Decoding democracy(Jadavpur university, 2021-03) Basak, Jyotish Chandra; Mondal, Samar KumarItem Open Access Rashtratatter ruprekha: bhabbad, udarbad, marxbad o gandhibad রাষ্ট্রতত্ত্বের রূপরেখা : ভাববাদ, উদারবাদ, মার্কসবাদ ও গান্ধীবাদ(Progressive Publishers, 2021-05) Bera বেরা, Rabi রবি; Mukherjee, PradiptaItem Open Access Vidyasagar o songbad - samayikpatra বিদ্যাসাগর ও সংবাদ - সাময়িকপত্র(Banglar mukh, 2021-07-30) Bera বেরা, Manjula মঞ্জুলা; Paul, AshokItem Open Access Citizenship reflecting on the shifts and fluidity(Adhyyan Books, 2021-09) Chakraborty, Ranjita; Muhindro, L.Item Open Access Duti kahini ekti golpo anyoti kissa:chetan-abocheton moner dwondo দুটি কাহিনি একটি গল্প অন্যটি কিসসাঃ চেতন-অবচেতন মনের দ্বন্দ্ব(Prabahaman Banglacharcha, 2021-09-24) Khatun খাতুন, Hasnara হাসনারা; Naskar, Sanat KumarItem Open Access Vidyasagarer samajbhabna বিদ্যাসাগরের সমাজভাবনা(Kamalini Prakashan Bibhag, 2021-09-26) Bera বেরা, Manjula মঞ্জুলা; Chattopadhyay, Jyotsna
