COVID-19 imposed a great threat to individuals as well as mental health professionals. The virus had an impact across all aspects of our lives. It had an impact on the well-being and mental health of individuals as well. In these difficult times, it can be a possibility that there could be an increase in the prevalence of various psychological conditions particularly depression, anxiety, and stress. Thus, this study aimed to examine the relationship between depression, anxiety, and stress among female students. DASS-21 was used to measure the scores on the variables among 343 female students across India. The participants (18 years & above) enrolled in a full time university course were included in the study. The questionnaire was employed through various web-based platforms and social media sites. Results based on Pearson Product Moment Correlation indicated that depression, anxiety, and stress are significantly correlated to each other. It can be concluded that the pandemic has had a great impact on the mental health and well-being of individuals.

Suicide, a major preventable public health issue, poses a challenge to each and every nation and society. Suicide statistics are available for almost all age groups and the under reporting of suicide data is still a challenge. Suicide statistics for India as reported by National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB, 2020) mention that 1,53,052 people committed suicide in the year 2020. Furthermore, students account for 8.2% of total suicides in India (NCRB, 2020). Considering the scenario, it has become the need of the hour to study the underlying factors. The present study made an attempt to explore the relationship between academic stress, loneliness and suicide ideation among university students. The sample of the present study comprised of 200 (N=200) university students falling in the age group of 19-26 years. Academic Stress Scale (Kumar et al., 2022), Loneliness Scale (Russell et al.,1980) and Suicide Ideation Scale (Beck, 1991) were used to measure the variables. The findings established a significant positive correlation between academic stress, loneliness and suicide ideation.

Are we living in a world where opportunities and possibilities are equal affairs for both men and women? Is the corporate world sensitive enough to let women be women? Are working women still the 'women' they were once thought to be? Does gender equality really exist or is it just a myth disguised as reality? What organisations and their leaders actually believe, think, feel, and do in the garb of providing equal rights for women in the workplace, encouraging gender diversity, revised policies and guidelines, is the reality that exists that no one wants to talk about. The present article throws light on these concerns and pushes the reader to constantly question the reality of the world we are living in and to reflect on the part they, as members of this society, are playing in it.

Beauty culture techniques are very common in almost every Indian household and girls learn this art from their elders and beauty specialists. PMKVY is on generating job possibilities and entrepreneurship especially grey collar (knowledge workers), pink collar (waiters, retail clerks, salespersons) and rust belt workers (construction) besides white and blue collars. Training is effort initiated by an organization to foster learning among its workers, and development is effort that is oriented more towards broadening an individual's skills for the future responsibility. It provides a systematic improvement of knowledge and skills which in turn helps the trainees to function effectively and efficiently in their given task on completion of the training. The study was conducted in Hisar district in Haryana state purposively. A total of 120 respondents were selected from four training centres, i.e., 30 respondents from each training centre.

The relationship between gender and clothing is complex and ever-evolving. For centuries, clothing has been used to signify gender roles in many societies. Clothing styles, colours, and materials have been associated with certain genders, and these associations have changed over time. For example, traditionally, women's clothing was more colourful and decorated, while men's clothing was more utilitarian. Today, both genders are free to express themselves through clothing in ways that were not possible in the past. However, clothing is still often used to signify gender roles, with men's clothing typically being more structured and women's clothing more fluid. Moreover, clothing is also used to convey social status and power, with some clothing items being deemed “appropriate” for certain genders. Ultimately, clothing is a tool to express identity, and the ways in which it is used to signify gender roles and identities can be complex and ever-changing. Religious clothing has been a part of most cultures and societies throughout history. Wearing religious clothing is an outward sign of devotion to a certain faith or belief system. It is also often a symbol of commitment to a certain religious community.

Humanity is empowered when women are empowered. Gender equality was a specific goal outlined in the Millennium Development Goals. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which replaced them and were adopted in 2015, set goals for the global community over the following 15 years. These global objectives have a strong emphasis on including women and gender in every goal, from "Zero Hunger" and "No Poverty" to "Quality Education," and have one target that is especially geared toward women. A very fundamental indication of women's equality and empowerment is education. Relevant indicators include literacy levels among women, gender disparities in literacy, and enrollment and dropout rates in elementary schools. Women contribute to the labour force and the household through their work. While some of this labour is acknowledged and rewarded, the majority is not listed and is still unpaid. The current study was designed to reflect three various economic strata in Hisar, Haryana, through urban areas. From each strata data was collected from 60 respondents. This paper revealed that overall Chi- square value was found significant thus indicating that both level of education and economic participation was associated with gender and in both high as well as medium ES households, more females opted for arts (39.7% & 31.6%, respectively) compared to males (33.3% & 30.0 % respectively). More males were working as labour (19.8%), compared to females (10.0%), while more females were non-working (40.7%) compared to males (14.2%). On an overall basis, this study showed a difference in educational and financial status of male and female in various economic strata (ES).

Schools are an important platform in terms of their crucial role in the spheres of cognitive, language, emotional, social, and moral development of a child. However, the role of schools in the emergence of emotional and behavioral problems has generally been overlooked. There is a growing recognition that schools may play a significant role in producing psychopathology, especially due to the formative influence of schools on normal as well as pathological development in children. Therefore, it becomes imperative to view the school system from the perspectives of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention with reference to child mental health. The present paper highlights on the role of school in child and adolescent mental health.

Overweight and obesity are ranked as the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. Around 38% of people worldwide who are five years of age and older are predicted to be overweight or obese in 2020. This percentage is projected to rise to 51% by the year 2035. Additionally, it is expected that the economic costs of being overweight and obese would rise from 1.96 trillion US dollars in 2020 to 4.32 trillion US dollars in 2035. In a 2022 study of people from 34 different countries, obesity came in fifth when it came to the top health issues confronting their nation, trailing COVID-19, mental health, cancer, and stress. For general health and longevity, it is imperative to maintain a healthy body weight. Regular exercise and a balanced eating regimen can maintain your body as young-looking as possible as you age.
