 Abstract

Rural education in developing countries continues to face multifaceted challenges including limited infrastructure, acute shortage of trained teachers, inadequate technological resources, and heavy dependence on traditional rote memorization methods. This mixed-methods study proposes and evaluates an innovative pedagogical approach that systematically integrates digital storytelling with indigenous local cultural knowledge to enhance English language learning, reading comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and overall student engagement among rural learners. The research employed an experimental design conducted across three purposively selected rural schools in Telangana, India, where an experimental group (n=45) was exposed to English language instruction through culturally relevant digital stories, while a control group (n=45) followed conventional traditional teaching methodologies. Comprehensive data collection involved pre- and post-intervention standardized assessments, systematic classroom observations, in-depth semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions. Quantitative results indicated statistically significant improvements in vocabulary acquisition (35% vs 12%), reading comprehension (40% vs 15%), and active classroom participation among the experimental group compared to the control group. Qualitative findings revealed enhanced cultural pride, increased learning motivation, and improved teacher-student interactions. The study concludes that combining traditional oral storytelling traditions with accessible low-cost digital technologies effectively bridges the persistent rural-urban educational divide while simultaneously empowering students by validating and celebrating their cultural identity and heritage.

 Abstract

This paper critically examines Mahasweta Devi's Breast Stories, to explore how the sacred feminine, traditionally revered in Indian socio-religious culture, is dismantled and reconfigured within narratives of exploitation, commodification, and resistance. Based on Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's translations and theoretical insights alongside Michel Foucault's concept of governmentality and biopower, the study interrogates the paradox of goddess worship juxtaposed with systemic violence against real women. Devi's works reveal how the female body, particularly the breast, is transformed from a symbol of sanctity into a site of political struggle, labor, and spectacle. Through close textual analysis, the paper highlights how Devi critiques caste, class, gender, and institutional structures that glorify female divinity in myth while erasing women's agency in lived reality. Ultimately, the study underscores Devi's intervention in postcolonial feminist discourse by exposing the deep cultural contradictions that sustain patriarchal domination.

 Abstract

The objective of this paper is to examine the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing educational outcomes, particularly at Foundational stage. This paper also discusses how AI tools can be used to attain learning outcome at Foundational stage. AI offers the potential to personalize learning, foster creativity, and support children's cognitive, social, emotional, and motor development, making it an important tool in education. The methodology used is content analysis of different research papers and journals. In rural areas of India, AI-powered tools like BYJU'S Early Learn and DIKSHA provide personalized, play-based learning experiences and ensure accessibility, even offline. However, challenges such as infrastructure gaps, data privacy concerns, and equitable access need to be addressed for effective implementation. The paper emphasizes the importance of teacher training, ethical considerations, and collaboration among stakeholders to harness AI's full potential. By reviewing current AI tools, the paper highlights their impact and identifies areas for improvement. It concludes by proposing ethical guidelines and recommending that AI should complement, rather than replace, human interaction in the educational process to create balanced and effective learning environments.

 Abstract

The intersection of literature and artificial intelligence (AI) has become a crucial area of inquiry in contemporary scholarship. While AI is frequently associated with technical applications in science, business, and engineering, its role in the humanities--particularly literature--has grown considerably in recent years. AI is now employed both as a tool for literary analysis and as a generator of new texts. This paper examines how artificial intelligence reshapes the study and production of literature, focusing on three dimensions: AI as an analytical instrument, AI as a creative writer, and AI as a collaborator in human literary endeavors. Drawing on recent scholarship and examples of AI-generated works, the article evaluates the philosophical and ethical implications of machine authorship, including questions of originality, authorship, and intellectual property. Ultimately, the study argues that rather than replacing human creativity, AI is best understood as a new medium that both challenges and expands the boundaries of literary expression.

 Abstract

Intentional replantation (IR) is a promising treatment for teeth with persistent periapical pathology when conventional endodontic therapy did not yield result. This report presents a case of a 14-year-old female with a chronic periapical abscess in the permanent left mandibular first molar. Conventional root canal treatment failed due to a persistent periapical infection. The tooth was atraumatically extracted, treated endodontically extra orally with root end filling, and reinserted into the socket and I- PRF was placed. Adjunctive Photo-biomodulation was performed for enhanced healing. Follow-up at three months showed complete periapical healing with no pain or mobility. The placement of PRF and Photo-biomodulation enhanced healing with bone regeneration. With proper technique, IR is a viable alternative to tooth extraction and implants, offering long-term retention and favourable outcomes in endodontic failure cases.

 Abstract

The current study focuses on assessing the influence of a 12-week Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) practice on cognitive flexibility and decision-making abilities in adolescents aged between 13 and 17 years. Surya Namaskar, a classical yogic technique integrating physical movement, breath control, and mindfulness, is believed to contribute positively to cognitive and emotional functioning. For this purpose, sixty school-going teenagers were selected and randomly assigned to two groups: the experimental group engaged in daily Surya Namaskar practice for 30 minutes, while the control group continued their routine without any yoga intervention. Standardized psychological tools were used to evaluate the participants' cognitive flexibility and decision-making both before and after the intervention. The outcomes revealed a statistically significant improvement in both measured cognitive areas among students who practiced Surya Namaskar. These findings suggest that integrating Surya Namaskar into adolescents' daily routines may enhance their mental adaptability and judgment skills, contributing to overall cognitive development and better academic and social decision-making.
