In recent years considerable attention has been made by the psychologists, psychiatrists and mental health professionals on the psyche of women and their mental health but due to the lack of awareness by women about their condition the status of their mental health has not so changed and facilitated as it should be. Not only in India but in almost parts of the world the condition of women is more or less same. Truly speaking women are struggling and trying their best to prove them on social records .One side of the coin reveals that women are highly appreciated and regarded on the outer realm of society but the other side manifests that the actual situation is very pitiable. Keeping these views in consideration this major project funded by the Indian Council of Social Science Research, New Delhi is started by the author and during data collection and roaming in the whirlpool of literature it has been noticed that pooling across age, marital status, job status and many other demographic conditions the situation of women is not so well and it has caused many physical deformities and psychological problems in them.

With school-going adolescents spending most of their wakeful hours in school, the teachers are the ones who have the best opportunity to pay attention to their day-to-day activities and recognize their problems. Teachers help in building resilience among children who are at risk for psychosocial development like the children of incarcerated parents. Resilience is influenced by factors at various levels, namely, individual, family, school, and community. The present study tries to understand the factors contributing to the resilience of the prisoner's children as perceived by their teachers. Semi-structured interviews with 12 teachers who teach prisoners' children were conducted. Thematic analysis was carried out to analyze the data. Risk and protective factors exist at individual, school, and community levels. The study's findings revealed that protective factors buffer the effect of risk factors that may affect the healthy psychosocial development of the prisoners' children. Lack of protective factors at the family level was identified through the interview. Although many risk factors and protective factors were influencing psychosocial development, the presence of emotional problems in children, neglect of these children at family and community level, and social support at school and community were noticed. The findings from the present study can inform policies to support prisoner's children and direct interventions for these children.

Are you an adult? It is a difficult question to answer and it becomes even more complicated if you are an Indian women who is in the age group of 18-25 years. Even though this period of life, i.e the bracket of 18-25 years, has been termed by popular literature as Emerging Adulthood, however it’s worth contemplation whether the ‘popular literature’ which is majorly developed in western socio-cultural contexts, can be used to understand women in this age group in Indian socio-cultural settings which are replete with layers of complexities and multiplicities. This research paper attempts to answer various unanswered, unexplored questions including analysing the nuances of adulthood and womanhood. This research paper is an outcome of the doctoral research work primarily based upon exploring the existence and nature of Emerging Adulthood in the Indian socio-cultural context. For this research study, the mixed research methods approach was adopted and the data was collected and analysed in two phases. The first phase was primarily quantitative in approach with ‘social survey’ as the main method and knowing about the existence of Emerging Adulthood in India as the main objective. In the second phase of the research work, representative sample from the targeted population was interviewed, followed by narrative analysis. This analysis has come up with some interesting findings related to the gender differences in the process of identity development during emerging adulthood, for instance, the way women experience this phase of life is completely different from the experiences of men. This not only gives way to the possibility of a separate theory for identity development of women during emerging adulthood but also questions the very basis of the way certain psychological constructs are defined and understood from ages. This paper focuses upon developing a theoretical perspective on identity development of women during Emerging Adulthood. It provides a theoretical framework emphasising various aspects of identity development of women in India. This theorisation will not enrich the present theoretical frameworks of understanding identity development but it will also provide an alternate perspective of understanding identity development as process, the perspective of women in India.

Elections are of great importance for democracies like India, where the chosen representatives link the citizens with the government. Political behavior of voters has been explained by various socio-economic and psychological models. Bandwagon effect, underdog effect, and various other psychological correlates contributes in voting choice. Apart from this, there are various socio-economic and demographic reasons that may have a significant impact in making a reasoned voting choice.The present study is aimed at evaluating the influences in elections and the voter’s perception of political parties and leaders. The present study was done on 900 respondents selected randomly from different constituencies of Haryana, with equal number of males and females. Results indicate that influence of family or parents is significant in decision making towards voting for a particular party or candidate. However, benefits in terms of economic gains and voting appeal on the basis of religious and communal statements was denied by the respondents. The awareness of voters about political environment was moderate and the impact of personality and communication skills of the political leaders was also considered as a determinant of voting choice. Some influences like parental advice in voting are positive in nature for rational decision making in voting related matters, whereas some other influences like voting for financial gains should be avoided for the effective management of democratic status of a nation.

Starting in 2005 as a budget carrier, GoAir had smooth sailing in tough Indian aviation market. Positioned as a conservative but consistent airline GoAir was focussed more on generating profit than capturing the market. With the aim of raising funds for expansion, the low cost carrier had plans to come up with its IPO in the year 2020. But since last year, situation had become challenging for the airline due to multiple issue ranging from rising fuel cost, shortage of pilots, delayed delivery of aircraft from the airbus manufactures, engine issues and unstable leadership. The situation became more serious in the recent months due to absence of revenue earning caused by travel restriction on account of global pandemic. The airline had no other option, but to take several cost cutting measures to stay afloat. Starting with termination of the contracts of expat pilots to sending employees on temporary leave without pay, the GoAir top management also took major pay cuts. GoAir’s promoters continued to seek financial assistance with the government so as to improve the position of employees and safeguard airline from being grounded. GoAir also had rounds of talks with banks, lessors and suppliers for the same purpose. Now, the CEO of GoAir is in tight situation as he is given the task of coming up with a survival plan for the airline. He is in tight situation as he has responsibility towards employees in paying compensation to them when cash inflow is badly affected and on the other hand, keeping the airline alive in the current scenario. Even after withdrawal of restriction, social distancing and hygiene concern will not allow it to operate in its fullest capacity for few months. What would be the survival plan in this situation? Would it be possible for GoAir to keep people in payroll, paying salaries and wages amidst travel restrictions or would it resort to layoff in order to survive? Or would there be a new compensation structure to retain critical talent? What steps would the airline take to show its investors, customers and the government that it cares about them?

Cannabis sativa is believed to be one of the oldest plants man has cultivated. But throughout the history it was subjected to the lots of debates for its ethical use. This plant has provided a way to look into the number of medical challenges from analgesia to weight loss and promising clues to treating medical syndromes including seizure disorders, anorexia, chronic pain, cancer, nausea and various infectious diseases that remain challenges for 21st century medicine. This plant is being cultivated in India since ancient times. Old texts (like Ayurveda) hail the plant as sacred and medicinal. It has travelled all over the world across different cultures for medicinal, recreational, religious and commercial purposes. Its use and cultivation decreased since the British Government prohibited its use in 1930s. The resin obtained from the plant contains over 60 cannabinoids and 400 different chemicals of which Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the major chemical with psychoactive properties. There are some natural receptors for THC found in human body called the ‘endocannabinoid system’ which helps in maintaining biological harmony in response to changes in the environment. This is also known as the gateway of drugs. Studies claim that good percentage of adult people abuses the drug and also a high prevalence rate of cannabis use is reported in India. This study review will focus on history of cannabis and its potential for the new scientific investigations as a therapeutic agent. The study will also focus on the need for the Indian government to encourage the researchers to explore the potential of cannabis as more countries in the world allow the use of medicinal cannabis.
