The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education, particularly through tools such as ChatGPT, has transformed traditional teaching and learning practices. While some educators perceive AI as a valuable support system that enhances creativity, personalization, and efficiency, others remain cautious; emphasizing the risks of dependency, reduced critical thinking, and overreliance on machine-generated outputs. This study explores the perceptions of in-service teachers regarding the role of AI tools like ChatGPT in enhancing teaching and learning. Using a qualitative thematic analysis of responses collected from practicing teachers, the study identifies both positive and negative orientations towards AI adoption in education. The findings highlight a dual narrative: on one hand, AI is acknowledged as an enabler for lesson planning, personalized learning, and administrative support; on the other hand, concerns are raised about diminished originality, ethical dilemmas, and potential misuse by students. These insights suggest the need for balanced, informed, and critical integration of AI in classrooms, where teacher agency and human creativity remain central. The study contributes to the growing discourse on responsible AI adoption in Indian classrooms and offers directions for professional development programs that equip teachers with skills for ethical and effective AI use.

The present study aims to explore and analyse Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s vision, ideas, and policy prescriptions concerning emancipation and empowerment of the deprived class of society, situating them within his social, economic and political framework. Ambedkar’s thoughts on the issues are not isolated but deeply embedded in his larger vision of societal transformation. His ideas were shaped through a prolonged cognitive process, which was influenced by his experiences of caste-based discrimination and the social surroundings of his upbringing. Significant early influences included his father, who instilled in him a deep respect for rationality, justice, and the rule of law, and his education at Columbia University, which broadened his intellectual horizon, his perception towards life and his attitudes towards humanity. These experiences collectively shaped Ambedkar into a visionary reformer committed to social justice, particularly for the marginalised, deprived lower caste section of society. Dr Ambedkar envisioned an India where unity could be built through the acceptance of diversity and the recognition of the rights of all communities, especially the underprivileged. His realisation of the divisions in Indian society along caste, gender and religious lines emphasised the need for a representative government that safeguards the rights of various social groups in proportion to their population. His vision laid the foundation for the inclusion of affirmative action and positive discrimination measures in the Indian Constitution. Ambedkar identified inequalities rooted in caste, religion and inherited social status as major barriers to progress. He critically examined Brahminical customs and male-dominated structures that restricted individual freedom, denied property rights to women, and enforced caste-based subordination. Central to his critique was the concept of ‘graded inequality’—a hierarchy within the caste system that institutionalised social oppression. Ambedkar proposed and implemented measures to liberate Dalit and underprivileged women from the oppressive structures of caste-based discrimination.

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar spent his entire life for the welfare of the downtrodden, Dalit, marginalized, deprived classes and women of all societies. Therefore, the fundamental economic thoughts presented by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar in the 20th century are still very important in the 21st century. Because he presented his thoughts on a very difficult subject in the form of a thesis in a simple manner. That is why Dr. Amartya Sen considers Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar as a guru in economics. Dr. Amartya Sen's 'Economics of Poverty' is the same as Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar's 'Economics of Poverty'. Babasaheb Ambedkar had presented in his writings how the elements of political science, sociology and religion dominated in his 'Economics of Poverty'. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was an unusually talented personality who did very valuable work in various fields such as law, sociology, political science, anthropology and social work, religion, politics and journalism. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was a social reformer and social thinker, but it is clear from his various works that he was a great economist. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was a deep expert in economics.

The fluctuations of the Indian rupee during British colonial rule posed a major economic obstacle. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar’s publication, "The Problem of the Rupee: Its Origin and Its Solution," offered valuable perspectives on monetary instability and suggested potential solutions. Nevertheless, India was not the only nation facing challenges related to currency. Countries such as China, the United States, and numerous European nations also dealt with similar difficulties, including debates over bimetallism, currency devaluation, and economic dependence. This paper draws comparisons between India's currency challenges and those faced globally, examining historical circumstances, policy measures, and the long-term economic consequences. Further, it analyzes the remedies proposed by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar to achieve stability for the Indian rupee. The study's objective is to offer insights into historical monetary challenges and their potential resolutions, with a particular emphasis on Ambedkar's contributions to India's monetary policy. Additionally, the study evaluates the significance of these historical monetary approaches for modern economic management.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was an important architect of modern India's formation. For sustainable and inclusive development, Dr. Ambedkar proposed the concept of social justice. He expressed thoughts on equality, freedom, fraternity, the abolition of the caste system, and untouchability. He asserted that equal distribution of wealth and equal rights to economic resources are essential. He prioritized issues such as land reform, rural development, labor rights, the public sector, and water management. Education is extremely important for the development of society and the upliftment of individuals. For this, he advocated the principle of "Educate, Organize, and Agitate." Industrialization leads to job creation, economic development, reduction of social inequality, modernization, environmental protection, and labor welfare. He argued that developments in agriculture, availability of drinking water, industrial development, and environmental protection cannot be achieved without water management. He stated that workers should receive proper facilities, exploitation should stop, and their economic conditions should improve. He emphasized values such as democracy, social justice, and national integration. He suggested that if women receive employment, education, and equal rights, their significant contribution to societal development can be realized. He posited that sustainable environmental development will ensure that future generations receive natural resources intact, thus achieving sustainable development.

This paper evaluates the impact of the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) on employment generation across different regions in India. Launched in 2015, PMMY aims to provide microfinance to small entrepreneurs through institutional credit. This study uses secondary data from government portals and bank reports to assess how different states have leveraged the scheme for job creation. The findings reveal that while some regions have shown significant employment gains due to better outreach and utilization of funds, others lag due to infrastructural and administrative constraints.

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, one of India's foremost social reformers and the principal architect of the Indian Constitution, dedicated his life to the upliftment of marginalized communities, particularly Dalits. Among his many concerns was the plight of sanitation workers, who have historically been subjected to severe discrimination and social exclusion. This paper explores Ambedkar’s views on the status, rights, and dignity of sanitation workers, drawing from his speeches, writings, and political advocacy. He emphasized the need to eradicate untouchability, ensure equal rights, and provide dignified livelihoods for sanitation workers. His vision laid the foundation for modern India’s policies on social justice and continues to influence contemporary debates on caste, labor rights, and public health. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution and a pioneering social reformer, dedicated much of his life to fighting against caste-based discrimination and advocating for the rights and dignity of marginalized communities. Among these, sanitation workers, often belonging to the Dalit community, faced extreme social exclusion, inhumane working conditions, and systemic exploitation. Ambedkar recognized the profound social and economic injustices faced by sanitation workers and strongly opposed the caste system that relegated them to "polluting" occupations such as manual scavenging. Through his writings, speeches, and political efforts, Ambedkar argued for the abolition of untouchability, the dignity of labor, and equal rights for all, including sanitation workers. This paper explores Ambedkar’s thoughts on the status of sanitation workers, his vision for their social and economic upliftment, and the legal and constitutional measures he championed to ensure their rights.
