The status of women has been a central concern of many reform movements in India. Prior to India’s independence, the organizations and groups that addressed social issues and sought change for women were closely associated with the independence movement. The women’s movement during the 19th century in India emanated from the broader social reforms movement. Consequently, the 20th century freedom movement and women’s rights movement in the post-1970s has brought to the fore a wide range of women’s concerns. The subsequent events like the constitutional promise of gender equality, Towards Equality Report prepared by the Committee on the Status of Women in 1974 have surely promoted women’s concern to some extent. All these achievements were the result of women’s movement groups that worked for the promotion of women’s rights and equality. In the above-stated context, this paper also analysis the issues of women’s justice and equality taken up by women’s groups in pre and post-independent India.

Although many educational institutions at different levels (Schools, Colleges, Universities) have also started blended learning, still most of them are stuck with the procedures which are yet to rejuvenate. The sudden burst of CoronaVirus (SARS-CoV-2) shook the entire world and has interrupted all facets of our daily lives. This situation challenged the education system across the world and forced educators to shift to an online mode of teaching overnight. Many academic institutions that were earlier indisposed to change their traditional pedagogical approach had no option but to shift entirely to online teaching-learning. This study elucidates the importance of online learning and elaborates opportunities & challenges of e-learning modes in the time of crisis. This research piece sheds some light ...

The Sustainable Development Goals with Agenda 2030 is the world’s first comprehensive blueprint for sustainable goals. The recognition of the synergies between health, education and gender equality are among the core goals of this Agenda. The health of people particularly of women throughout the world has remained a matter of concern. No doubt the health of people is improving but our health system has not always understood the factors that influence the health status of women, nor has it addressed women's health issues adequately. There is a number of factors which resist women from availing the health facilities globally. Among the prominent ones include persistent disparities between women and men notably in parts of Asia. In this framework, the current study tries to redefine the health issues faced by women in India. Fu...

It is believed that after Kashmir northeast India is the most volatile and insurgency-affected place in the country. This region is mainly composed of eight states; it is a hilly region of charming beauty and amazing biodiversity. It is also an area with an equally rich multiplicity of tribes, ethnic groups, languages and religions. However, this region has been troubled by insurgent movements ever since independence. Widespread conflicts which are related to the geography of the region, the multi-ethnicity of its population and grounds of discontent economic feeding are the characteristic features of this region. Different factors perpetuate insurgency in this region like the political history of Naga Hills, Merger Agreement of Manipur, economic underdevelopment and autonomy cause of Mizo Hills, an unjust attitude of the...

The sexual harassment results in violation of the basic fundamental rights of women especially right to equality under article 14 & 15 of the Indian constitution and her right to life and to live with dignity under article 21 of the constitution. The present study provides an intensive background of sexual harassment of women in India. The origin of the sexual harassment has been taken from Bhanwari Devi case and an account of Vishaka and Ors. v/s Union of India 1997 judgment is also mentioned in the current study. The current research paper tries to highlight the causes that tend to spontaneous increase in sexual harassment cases from different time perspectives. One of the prominent causes which are highlighted in the present research paper include the male dominated organizational setup i.e. much of the harassment which women face at the workplace isn't "sexual" in content or design but the motive behind this is to show the domination of male folk, inferior job position where women usually wield less hierarchical power in an organizations and men have more sexual harassment serves as one method of the powerful asserting control over the powerless, misperceptions about the friendly nature of a women in an organization by men colleagues and who began to harass those women who are quite friendly in nature and women with higher academic profile and lesser job opportunity when they began their journey to find a job in an organization may it be an educational institute or other private or government sector they are harassed and advanced by sexual favours by the person in charges and for that they are assured to be offered a job and consequently all these causes leads to sexual harassment of women. Sexual harassment has shown a steady increase from last decade to the present scenario with 29.20% cases registered in the year 2015 and which resulted in violation of basic immunities of women at workplace. The data for the present study was elicited from both primary and secondary sources, analysis were done by using particular research method and tool. The results from this research however indicate that in India sexual harassment is still prevalent in the workplace despite attempts to eradicate it. Finally the current study recommends that the need of hour is to take a close look over the issue and provide the preventive measures that could better assess the situation.
