    Role of Civil Society to Bring Good Governance in India
    (Bharti Publication, 2025) Khurshed Alam
    Civil society is the set of civic rights, including primarily everyone’s right to participate in Public life. Civil society forms the backbone of democracy. Civil society derives its strength from the Gandhian tradition of volunteerism, but today, it expresses itself in many different forms of activism. This paper strongly promotes the idea of civil society as a forum where the public action of individuals or collective groups aimed at social and ultimately national welfare can be conducted. This responsibility also being a general mission of any government makes it imperative to emphasize on and highlight ways for civil society and the government to interact and collaborate to ensure good governance. Civil society refers to formal as well as informal entities and includes the private sector, the media, NGOs, professional associations and informal groups of people from different walks of life.

    The Politics of Gender & Good Governance in India: A Critical Discourse
    (Bharti Publications, 2025) Faizan Haque
    Within the current development paradigm, one of the main challenges is gender disparity in India. It can take many different forms and is a major factor in determining the lives of most women on the Indian subcontinent. Numerous research studies and works published by international organisations have demonstrated the various dimensions of gender inequality that exist in India. In addition to restricting women's access to opportunities and resources, a lack of gender equality jeopardises the chances for the next generation. On the other hand, democracy, decentralisation, and local governance are inextricably related to each other, in which the role of women is a critical factor. Including women in decision-making roles, access and control, and the use of power and authority are all important aspects of mainstreaming gender in local government. Previous studies have indicated that socio-cultural hurdles that had not been addressed by several reform attempts often resulted in women being elected as "proxies" for their male relatives or preventing them from carrying out their representational roles. In essence, governance comprises the traditions, institutions and processes that determine how power is exercised, how citizens are given a voice, and how decisions are made on issues of public concern. This paper tries to find out factors which are responsible for gender inequality in various institutions and good governance in India. The descriptive and content analytical natures serve as the foundation for this research paper. The present paper is based on secondary data which will be collected from various sources like journals, books, reports, articles, internet etc.

    (Sandpiper Publisher, Lucknow, 2025) TAHIR HUSSAIN ANSARI , HUMA SHAHID
    This study looks at the patterns of public spending on education in India with the goal of clarifying financial priorities, distribution patterns, and the effects these have had on educational results over the last few decades. This study does a thorough examination of the variations in educational spending at the federal and state levels using extensive data from government budgets, policy papers, and statistics reports. The research highlights the differences in state-by-state spending on education and looks at how these differences affect educational fairness and quality. According to the study, increases in important educational indicators including student performance, enrolment ratios, and literacy rates are correlated with public spending. Additionally, it evaluates the results of flagship government programs and policies meant to improve educational accessibility and infrastructure. Persistent difficulties are identified by the research, such as in efficient money utilization, regional disparities, and the need for a more focused strategy to meet the particular requirements of underfunded regions. The study's policy suggestions, which highlight the significance of a planned, fair, and sustainable approach to finance, are intended to maximize investments in education.

    Vaccination Hesitancy and Adaptation with Particular Emphasis on Women
    (Bentham Science, 2023) Tahmeena Khan
    The novel beta-coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) emerged in 2019 in Wuhan from bats and later caused inter-human transmission. India is one of the worst- hit countries, where two million casualties have taken place during the second wave of the pandemic. The year 2021 witnessed the more deadly form of the virus. At the same time, there was remarkable progress in vaccine development resulting in the approval of a few vaccines by the governments. The process of COVID-19 vaccination has kickstarted in many countries. The general attitude towards acceptance of the vaccine has been reported in countries like the USA and Jordan. Very few studies have reported the understanding and hesitation regarding the vaccination among the Indian population, and the present study is an attempt to highlight the general mindset, acceptance, misconceptions and awareness regarding the COVID-19 vaccination from the Indian perspective. Being one of the worst-hit countries in terms of COVID-19, it is important to identify the barriers holding the Indian population back from getting vaccinated. This study was done as a questionnaire survey aimed at knowing the general apprehension, and thoughts of the public regarding the vaccination with 308 respondents, precisely of Indian origin. 58.8% (n=181) respondents were non- vaccinated. 45.2% (n=95) respondents reported that their respective employers made vaccination compulsory. 51.5% (n=120) felt that the vaccine is 60-80% safe. The results may be used by the public health authorities to identify the priority group and the barriers holding people back from vaccination.

    INTERSECTIONALITY IN THE WORKPLACE IN INDIA: NAVIGATING THE IMPACT OF RACE, ETHNICITY AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS ON WOMEN'S EXPERIENCES
    (Noble Science Press, 2024) Anas Jameel, Fasih Raghib Gauhar, Waseem Ahmed
    The chapter delves into the complex realities of women in India's professional sphere, utilizing an intersectional framework to elucidate their experiences beyond traditional gender- based analyses. Through qualitative exploration informed by critical feminist perspectives, it examines how factors like race, ethnicity, and socio-economic status intersect to shape women's career paths, encounters with discrimination, and access to advancement opportunities. Highlighting the challenges encountered by marginalized groups such as Dalit and Adivasi women, it underscores the compounded effects of caste, class, and gender in perpetuating workplace inequalities. Despite these obstacles, the research underscores women's resilience and agency in navigating adversity, forming support networks, and advocating for change. By challenging a monolithic understanding of "womanhood" in India, this study underscores the necessity of adopting a nuanced, intersectional approach to comprehend the diverse experiences of women in the workplace.
