My notion of information management is that it is concerned with policies, measures and actions concerning creation, processing, management and use of information in an organisation; and with quality of the relations between those policies, measures and actions. With the fast pace of development in the field of information technology the archives of the future are going to be less of paper and more of machine readable records. The compact medium of storage of these data is being seen by many panacea of future archiving problem. With the present computer age and widespread use of computer generated data, electronic records have come to assume a distinct of their own.

While mainstream historiography has often marginalized women's involvement, their participation was critical in shaping both the independence movement and the future trajectory of women's rights in India. Women were active in various spheres, including social reform, literacy campaigns, and political activism, and were pivotal in challenging British colonial rule. The late 19th and early 20th centuries, marked by the rise of modern nationalist movements like the Indian National Congress (INC), provided women with a platform to assert their rights and challenge traditional gender norms. Figures such as Sarojini Naidu, Kasturba Gandhi, and Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay exemplified the spirit of resistance, engaging in civil disobedience, boycotting foreign goods, and advocating for constitutional reforms. Women were key participants in significant movements like the Non-Cooperation Movement, Salt Satyagraha, and Quit India Movement, where they not only led protests but also organized grassroots campaigns. Their involvement in these movements was transformative, as it not only contributed to the nationalist struggle but also challenged the prevailing societal perceptions of women. Despite facing repression and violence from colonial authorities, women continued to fight for their rights and social justice. This study highlights the often-overlooked contributions of women in the freedom struggle, underscoring their essential role in shaping India's path to independence and laying the foundation for future battles for gender equality and justice.

conditions, global environmental concerns, and its commitment to sustainable development. The journey of India's environmental policy
can be traced back to its post-independence era, where economic growth was prioritized, often at the expense of environmental
considerations. Early policy frameworks lacked a coherent environmental focus, with limited institutional mechanisms for protecting
natural resources. However, in the 1970s, influenced by the global environmental movement and events like the 1972 Stockholm
Conference, India began to formalize its environmental approach, marking the beginning of policy reforms aimed at balancing
development with ecological preservation. Important milestones in India's environmental policy include the establishment of the
Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) in 1985, the promulgation of the Environment Protection Act (1986), and the National
Forest Policy (1988), which aimed to curb deforestation and promote sustainable land use. The 1990s and 2000s saw India increasingly
engaging with international environmental frameworks, including the Rio Earth Summit (1992) and the Kyoto Protocol (1997), and
emphasizing the integration of environmental concerns into the developmental agenda. Despite these advancements, the impact of
environmental policies in India remains mixed. While there has been notable success in areas such as wildlife conservation, pollution
control, and biodiversity preservation, challenges like deforestation, water scarcity, and industrial pollution persist. The growing
pressures of industrialization, urbanization, and climate change present ongoing challenges in policy implementation. Additionally, the
tension between economic development and environmental sustainability continues to be a contentious issue. This paper examines the
historical evolution of environmental policies in India, assesses their impact on ecological conservation, and explores the ongoing
challenges and future directions for achieving a balance between growth and sustainability.

helped in the religious-social reform movements in India in the nineteenth century, who aspired to spread their religion
among the Indians. He tried to accomplish this task through discourse, teaching, medicine, organization and service
and indirectly contributed to the development of social awakening, equality and feelings of freedom. His work is
considered moderate in terms of results. Some scholars are of the opinion that the modern Indian social and religious
reform movements have been in large part a response to the moral challenge of Christianity and the response to the
concept of human personality expressed primarily in Christianity. Missionaries have been considered the initiators of
social reform and social conscience among Indians in the 19th century. He also took initiative in organizing India's
public philanthropic activities. There may be a difference of opinion as to the real nature and value of the contribution
of the missionaries in the field of social reform in India, yet there is no doubt that the missionaries were the forerunners
of organized social reform movements even before they became an active force in Indian life. The contribution and
influence of Christian missionaries in modern India has been analyzed in the research paper presented.
