Critical Analysis of Gaps in the Clinical Establishments Act, 2010: A Policy Implementation Perspective
The Clinical Establishments Act (CEA) of 2010 represents India\u27s landmark attempt to standardize healthcare regulation nationwide, yet its implementation has been characterized by significant disparities and systemic challenges. This policy analysis examines eight critical gaps in the CEA\u27s design and implementation, documenting both structural limitations and procedural shortcomings that have hindered its effectiveness. Using an implementation science framework, we analyze how federalism challenges, enforcement limitations, rural provider burdens, absent patient protection mechanisms, and digital integration failures collectively undermine the Act\u27s potential. Our findings reveal that while the CEA provides an important regulatory foundation, its impact is seriously hampered by patchy adoption, weak enforcement mechanisms, disproportionate burdens on smaller providers, and failure to address key dimensions of healthcare quality and access. We propose targeted reforms including tiered standards for different facility types, integrated digital compliance mechanisms, mandatory patient grievance systems, price transparency requirements, and harmonization of overlapping regulations. This analysis provides essential context for understanding regional implementation variations and developing more effective, equitable approaches to healthcare regulation in India\u27s diverse healthcare landscape
From Learning Style to E-Learning Style: A Paradigm Shift in Digital Era
The swift progression of digital technologies has sparked a revolutionary change in educational paradigms, displacing conventional learning approaches with virtual learning environments. This paper, titled "From Learning Style to e-learning style: A Paradigm Shift in the Digital Era," explores the implications, challenges, and opportunities presented by this transition. For many years, educational techniques have been led by models such as VARK and Kolb which categorise traditional learning patterns. These approaches have been redefined by the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in education, which makes use of digital technologies to provide more individualised and interactive learning opportunities. This study looks at the factors that have caused this change, such as changes in learner demographics, technology improvements, and the effects of major world events like the COVID-19 epidemic. It draws attention to the advantages of online learning, including its improved flexibility, accessibility, and ability to foster interaction through multimedia resources. The study also discusses the difficulties brought about by the digital divide and the necessity of professional development for teachers. The research highlights the efficacy of ICT interventions in enhancing educational results for varied learner groups by examining case studies and real-world applications. The results indicate that although e-learning has many benefits, overcoming its obstacles and reaching its full potential will take a coordinated effort. In order to build inclusive and productive e-learning environments in the digital era, stakeholders are given guidelines in the paper\u27s conclusion
Navigating the Transitional Space Between Tradition and Modernity: The Challenges and Opportunities of Education in Tribal Communities of Peren District, Nagaland
This study examines the shift from indigenous learning to formal education in Peren district, Nagaland, and its impact on cultural continuity. Through qualitative interviews with educators, students, parents, and elders, alongside analysis of existing research and policy frameworks, it explores challenges faced by tribal communities and opportunities for integrating traditional knowledge into modern education. While formal education boosts access to knowledge and opportunities, it often erodes indigenous practices. Using a qualitative approach, the study captures lived experiences and cultural nuances, supplemented by case studies of institutions blending tribal knowledge into curricula. It aims to propose strategies for culturally inclusive education and inform policy discussions on balancing traditional and modern knowledge systems
Pink Tax; Women’s Tax for Being a Woman!

Ajit Doval: Strategic Architecture of Intelligence and Deterrence in the 21st Century A Comprehensive Multi-Theoretical Analysis of India\u27s Transformation Under a Master Strategist
This comprehensive study examines Ajit Kumar Doval\u27s transformative impact on India\u27s national security architecture through multiple theoretical lenses spanning strategic studies, complexity science, cognitive psychology, systems theory, and game theory. Employing what we term "theoretical triangulation," this analysis demonstrates how Doval\u27s approach represents a paradigmatic shift in 21st-century strategic thinking that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. The study synthesizes extensive primary and secondary sources, including declassified documents, strategic analyses, and scholarly works, to present an integrated theoretical model explaining why Doval deserves recognition as a "Tantra-shiromani" (Master of Strategy). Through systematic analysis of his career trajectory spanning five decades, operational innovations, and institutional transformations, this work contributes to the growing body of literature on strategic leadership in an era of complex, multi-domain challenges. The research reveals that Doval\u27s strategic methodology represents a synthesis of Eastern contemplative practices with Western scientific approaches, creating novel frameworks for understanding and addressing contemporary security challenges. Our findings suggest that his innovations constitute more than individual excellence—they represent a fundamental transformation in how strategic challenges are conceptualized, planned, and executed in the modern era
Role and Importance of Comparative Study of Public Administration
The study of comparative public administration, as one of the important branches of administrative sciences, plays a key role in a deeper understanding of administrative and political systems in different countries. This approach provides the basis for evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of various systems by comparative analysis of administrative structures, processes and functions.
The importance of this type of study is not only in identifying the best practices and efficient models of public administration, but also in identifying common global challenges such as administrative corruption, bureaucratic inefficiency and how to improve democratic governance. The comparative study of public administration also enables researchers and policymakers to assess the impact of cultural, economic, and political factors on the functioning of administrative systems and to provide innovative and evidence-based solutions for structural reforms. This type of study, especially in the era of globalization and the increasing complexity of governance issues, is considered an essential tool for promoting transparency, accountability and efficiency in government institutions.
In this article, while explaining the theoretical foundations of the comparative study, examples of successful international experiences and their impact on improving decision-making and policy-making processes in different societies have been analyzed
Talent Management Practices in Aligarh’s Emerging IT Sector: A Quantitative Analysis (2018–2023)
Aligarh, a western Uttar Pradesh city, is evolving from its "Lock City" heritage into an IT hub, driven by Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) and the Uttar Pradesh IT and Start-up Policy 2020. This study examines talent management practices in Aligarh’s IT sector (2018–2023), focusing on recruitment, training, retention, and engagement amidst skill shortages and brain drain to hubs like Noida. Using a quantitative approach, 200 respondents from 10 IT firms, including TechBit Solutions, were surveyed via a 40-question, 5-point Likert scale questionnaire based on Collings and Mellahi’s (2019) framework, achieving a 90% response rate (Creswell, 2014). Secondary data from HR records and the Aligarh District Industries Centre validated findings (Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, 2024). By 2023, 20 firms employed 1,500 professionals, a 13.4% CAGR from 800 jobs in 2018, with 70% formal employment but only 20% female workers (Table 3.2.2a). Respondents mostly aged 25–35 with bachelor’s degrees, included software developers (50%) and data analysts (20%) (Table 3.3.2). Survey results showed moderate recruitment satisfaction (mean: 3.2), frequent training (mean: 3.8), moderate engagement (mean: 3.4), and a 10% turnover rate, with training correlating strongly with retention (r = 0.65, p < 0.01) (Table 3.4.2). Only 24% of the workforce is skilled in AI, limiting scalability (Google, 2023). Recommendations include streamlining recruitment with digital platforms, expanding AMU’s AI and cloud computing training, offering competitive retention incentives, and establishing IT parks via public-private partnerships. Policymakers should enhance infrastructure and gender-inclusive policies to boost diversity. Qualitative research could further explore stakeholder perspectives, supporting Aligarh’s sustainable IT growth

The Use of Transitional Devices in the Writing of ESL Learners: A Case of Bolgatanga Girls’ SHS Students’ Essays
This paper investigated the use of transitional devices by students of Bolgatanga Girls Senior High School. The objective set for the research was to identify the kind of transitional devices that appear in the writing of senior high school students. To achieve this objective, the researcher employed a case study approach. The researcher used interviews and observation of students’ scripts for the collection of the data for the research. Essays of students were sampled for the extraction of the transitional devices used by the students. The data that was obtained was analysed based on the themes that emerged from the research question. The findings of the study showed that Bolgatanga Girls’ Senior High School students used transitional devices of different categories in their writing tasks. The findings of the study revealed that the students contextually and semantically used connective devices appropriately, which make their essays to achieve coherence and cohesion. It was shown by the study that even though the students used the connective devices appropriately, they overused some of the transitional devices, while they avoided some. The study also showed that compound connective devices were sometimes misspelled by the students by writing them as separate words. The findings indicated that teachers of English language placed too much emphasis on the external examination; they also employed teacher-centred methods in teaching; they do not adopt process approach to teaching transitional devices to the students and the students also failed to undertake reading task on their own. The study recommended that teachers of English should teach transitional devices as a distinct topic and adopt a learner-centred approach to teaching transitional devices to their students
