 Abstract

Amitav Ghosh, an eminent figure in contemporary Indian-English literature, delves deeply into the complex tapestry of nationhood in his works. His novels explore the intersections of history, culture, and identity, unravelling the multifaceted ways in which nationhood manifests in personal and collective experiences. This paper investigates the theme of nationhood in Ghosh's novels, focusing on The Shadow Lines (1988), The Glass Palace (2000), and the Ibis Trilogy (Sea of Poppies, 2008; River of Smoke, 2011; Flood of Fire, 2015). Through these texts, Ghosh interrogates the concept of borders, colonialism, migration, and cultural hybridity, offering a nuanced perspective on the emotional and intellectual dimensions of belonging to a nation

 Abstract

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the closure of educational institutions and a shift from physical classrooms to virtual classrooms. This study examines the challenges faced by English language teachers in adapting to virtual classrooms during the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores the preparedness of teachers and the strategies they employ to overcome these challenges. The study adopts a qualitative research approach and utilizes open-ended questionnaires, interviews, and documentation as data collection instruments. The paper reveals the challenges experienced by English language teachers, like sudden shift to online teaching, lack of adequate technological infrastructure, digital literacy, engagement and interaction, assessment and feedback, emotional and psychological impact, and hybrid teaching models. Despite these challenges, teachers have implemented various strategies such as using interactive online tools, creating engaging activities, maintaining regular communication with students, and providing additional support. The study emphasizes the importance of teacher adaptability and positive mindset in effectively teaching English in virtual classrooms during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 Abstract

Nonlinear equations are integral to a wide range of real-world problems in fields such as physics, engineering, and economics. Solving these equations presents challenges due to the potential for multiple solutions and sensitivity to initial conditions. This paper explores advanced numerical methods for solving nonlinear equations, focusing on Newton's method, the secant method, and homotopy continuation. These methods are evaluated based on their convergence rates, accuracy, and applicability to different types of nonlinear problems. Our findings indicate that while Newton's method offers fast convergence near the solution, its performance can degrade with poor initial guesses. The secant method, which does not require derivative information, provides a robust alternative with slower convergence. Homotopy continuation, though computationally intensive, excels in finding multiple solutions to nonlinear systems. The paper demonstrates that these advanced methods significantly improve the efficiency and reliability of solving nonlinear equations, making them invaluable tools in both theoretical and applied mathematics. Their applications extend to fields such as optimization, cryptography, and engineering, where solving nonlinear systems is crucial.

 Abstract

This study investigates the practices of classroom interaction in English language teaching at the secondary level, with a specific focus on Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVS) in the Hyderabad region. The research centers on 9th grade students and English teachers, analyzing how various interaction practices impact students' English proficiency and engagement. The study identifies key classroom interaction dimensions, such as teacher-student dialogue, peer collaboration, instructional methods, and feedback mechanisms, to understand their role in enhancing students' language skills and motivation. The findings suggest that purposeful and structured classroom interactions significantly contribute to students' language acquisition and communicative confidence. Insights from this study provide practical recommendations for fostering positive, interactive environments in English language classes to support effective learning outcomes.

 Abstract

India faces a significant challenge of balancing its rapid economic growth with an urgent need to address the issue of climate change. India's economy is majorly associate to its natural resource, with climate-sensitive sectors like agriculture playing a crucial role. Climate change impacts on India's natural resources could be far-reaching, disrupting the distribution and quality of these assets and adversely affecting people's livelihoods. India's diverse agricultural landscape, comprising 15 Agro-climatic zones, supports various seasons, crops, and farming systems. For many Indians, agriculture is the primary source of livelihood, making it highly vulnerable to climate change. The sector's sensitivity to climate variability means any climate change will significantly impact Indian agriculture directly and indirectly.Central government has taken steps to support farmers, providing facilities like a dedicated television channel and call centres to educate and inform them about weather conditions, soil health, and the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. The Ministry of Agriculture and the National Action Plan for Climate Change play pivotal role in agricultural governance, ensuring gradual but steady growth in agricultural production. Sustainable agriculture holds great potential for meeting food security requirements while improving farmers' livelihoods by enhancing their net incomes and resource productivity. This paper highlights the potential for agricultural growth and adaptation to climate change and the process of agricultural governance in India.

 Abstract

In Andhra Pradesh, the economic implications of acquiring land for local farmers are extensive and diverse, frequently upsetting customary livelihoods and increasing social vulnerability. Farmers are mostly displaced out of their farming regions via acquiring land, which is an important source of revenue and food safety for them. Because it is difficult for numerous farmers to locate another job after being forced to relocate, particularly in areas where farming is the main industry, this relocation causes a loss of income. Since these connections are essential for supplying social and financial support, the breakdown of social media networks and community connections increases the negative impacts even more.

 Abstract

This study examines the geological features of the Lansdowne area in the Garhwal Lesser Himalaya. Age of the rocks are Precambrian to Paleozoic. The Lansdowne region showcases intricate geological features, encompassing various stages of deformation, and notable compositional changes from granite-to-granite gneiss and augen gneiss. Detailed field analyses of the rock formations and geological structures suggest significant tectonic movements which are marked by the presence of fault, joint sets, and fault gouge zones. The lithological variation in the rocks to understand the different tectonic activities and metamorphism in the area. The central part of Lansdowne, which is characterized by porphyritic granite, shows less intense deformation. This study highlights the importance of geological structure of the thrust area. The shear sense indicators determine NW-SE direction of the rocks and transportation of the area along SE direction along the Lansdowne thrust.
