Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has evolved in India from voluntary philanthropy to a statutory obligation under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, mandating qualifying companies to allocate at least two percent of their average net profits toward approved social activities, with education emerging as the leading beneficiary sector. This paper examines the role of CSR in promoting quality education and its alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which seeks inclusive, equitable, and quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all. Using a descriptive and analytical approach based on secondary data from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, NITI Aayog, United Nations agencies, and peer reviewed literature, the study analyses trends in CSR spending on education in India between 2019–20 and 2023–24, as well as the thematic and regional distribution of these investments. The findings indicate a steady rise in CSR expenditure and a strong concentration of funds in education and skill development, but also reveal regional imbalances, fragmented project design, and concerns regarding long term sustainability. The paper proposes a conceptual model that links CSR inputs to educational resources, learning outcomes, and SDG 4 achievements, and argues that closer alignment with public policy, improved geographic targeting, and outcome based evaluation are essential to maximise the developmental impact of CSR on India’s education system.

The Dasavaikālika Sūtra, is one of the primary canonical texts of Jainism. It is the third of the four Mūla sūtra. It lays a strong foundation for understanding communication as a disciplined and ethical practice. It emphasizes on right speech, truthful, mindful and non-violent communication. These principles are primarily intended for ascetics but equally relevant to laypersons. This research article focuses on communication discipline hidden within the Dasavaikālika Sūtra. The paper explores the relevance and applicability of these ancient principles in the context of modern communication including digital platforms and social media. For example: "बहु सुहिं कन्नेहिं बहु अच्छीहिं पिच्छ । न यदिट्ठे सुयं सव्वं भिक्खु अक्खाउमरिहइ ।" Which means, you see a lot through eyes and hear a lot through ears but utter not all what you saw or heard. (Dasavaikālika Sūtra 8.20) This sūtra suggests one to verify what you see or hear before you believe and share it with others. We do face this situation when we come across cooked-up information in social media. The paper highlights how the core teachings of the Dasavaikālika Sūtra can serve as guiding principles to address contemporary challenges such as misinformation, hate speech, disrespectful speech, and others. It encourages verbal restraint, reflective speech, and ethical communication, leading to better communication and improved personality. The study also analyses the psychological impact of these principles, showing their role in reducing interpersonal conflicts and promoting emotional balance, which helps to foster harmonious relationships, build trust, and contribute to mental well-being in both personal and professional lives. The paper concludes that adopting these time-tested principles in the modern world can lead to more responsible, empathetic, and impactful communication, crucial for creating a peaceful and progressive society.

The movement of feminism began in19th and early 20th centuries across the world. At that time the focal point of the movement was gaining women’s suffrage i.e. Right to vote. From then the movement flourished and the focal point shifted to racism and body shaming against women in 1960-70. In parallel, there was a rising reliance on the idea that the main cause of women's historical subordination was the law. Such a conviction served as the foundation for feminist legal theory and jurisprudence. In the opinion of the feminist philosophy of law, there is an influence of patriarchal norms and masculinity standards on the legal system. In India, the first wave of feminism started in 1850-1920 when the sati system was abolished. In the pre-independence era, the second wave of feminism started and the popularity of women’s rights grew. The women were coming forward and setting forth their opinions against patriarchy and the British. With the beginning third wave of feminism in 1992, harassment and the issue of intersectionality became the centre of attention. The establishment of a national commission for women proved to be a milestone in the journey of feminist jurisprudence in India. The judgement of the Bhawari Devi case of Rajasthan, the Shah Bano case, the Mary Roy case of Kerela, the Suhas Kutti case of Tamil Nadu, and The CEHAT v. union of India case deepened and strengthened the roots of feminist jurisprudence in India. Currently, we are in the fourth wave of feminism where empowerment of women has become the focal point. The Indian legal system has benefited much from the feminist legal thought. “A variety of laws, including the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, the Dowry Prohibition Act, the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, the Maternity Benefit Act, the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, the Indecent Representation of Women Act, and the Equal Remuneration Act”, have made it possible for women to advance in all spheres of life. In this paper, the author has made an attempt to discuss the concept of feminist jurisprudence, how India was affected by the movement, the influence of judicial decisions in the light of feminist legal theory on society and the protectionist interpretation of laws for women.

The intersection of women led boutique entrepreneurship and green consumerism represents an emerging area of socio economic transformation within the Indian fashion ecosystem. This paper examines how secondary fashion market data comprising resale platforms, sustainable fashion reports, consumer surveys, and published retail datasets reflects a measurable shift toward eco conscious purchasing and its implications for women boutique entrepreneurs. Grounded in social entrepreneurship theory and gendered consumption frameworks, the study synthesizes secondary evidence from 2015–2024 to map changes in consumer motivations, sustainability preferences, and the operational responses of boutique enterprises. Findings reveal that women boutique entrepreneurs are both influence makers and beneficiaries of the rise in green consumerism, leveraging slow fashion principles, eco-friendly sourcing, and resale or upcycling strategies to differentiate their offerings. Secondary market trends show a consistent rise in sustainable apparel demand particularly among urban, educated, and millennial female consumers which aligns with boutique business models emphasizing personalization, small batch production, and ethical aesthetics. The study contributes by integrating gender, entrepreneurship, and sustainability literature to highlight how women boutique owners can strategically position themselves within the expanding circular fashion economy. Policy implications include the need for capacity building programs, digital sustainability platforms, and targeted support for women led retail micro enterprises. Recommendations for future research and limitations of secondary data dependence are also discussed.

Study habits constitute a central determinant of students’ academic success across school and higher education contexts. Research in educational psychology consistently demonstrates that how students organize learning time, process information, regulate motivation, and interact with instructional environments significantly influences achievement outcomes. This review paper synthesizes classical and contemporary scholarship on study habits, examining conceptual definitions, major components, empirical relationships with academic performance, contextual influences, and pedagogical interventions. Drawing on international research, the paper highlights the role of metacognition, self-regulated learning, learning strategies, environmental conditions, and digital technologies in shaping study behaviours. Challenges in cultivating effective study habits—such as socio-economic disparities, digital distraction, and motivational deficits—are discussed, followed by evidence-based recommendations for educators and institutions. The review concludes by emphasizing that systematic instruction in learning strategies and supportive institutional climates are essential for fostering lifelong learners in knowledge-based societies.

The increasing use of digital technologies has changed the way college libraries provide information and communicate with their users. Earlier, they used conventional print resources, but now students can access e-books, e-journals, online databases, Web OPAC, and other ICT-based services. Social media and mobile communication are additional channels for sharing information with students. The goal of the present study is to examine the use of social media and paperless library services and their contribution to student engagement in selected college libraries. A descriptive survey method was used for the study. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, from which responses from 306 students and 27 librarians were collected, representing educational institutes in Mumbai. Microsoft Excel was used for descriptive and inferential analysis and visual representation. The study found that 76.5% of students visited the library regularly, and 71.2% used both print and digital resources. Students used digital platforms for library-related purposes. The use of the library website/web page was reported by 45.1%, Web OPAC (35.9%) and WhatsApp (29.1%). Institutional libraries offered e-books, e-journals, online databases, and library automation facilities. In addition, Librari-++es offer free Wi-Fi (85.2%), N-list Subscription (74.1%), and RFID (7.4%). It is observed from the above study that students do make use of print resources, Library websites, Web OPAC, WhatsApp, and electronic resources. They participate in user-orientation activities. This highlights the importance of conventional facilities, digital library services, and paperless services.
