Abstract:
As an author of this article myself found there is a path in our Indian constitution regarding Article forty five (45) in Directive precept of kingdom coverage (DPSP), which states that every one ought to be equally reachable for education. Since the training is in Concurrent list, the nation has to comply with the middle's training, but it is not mandatory. Now the primary education for kids under the age of 6 to fourteen years has turn out to be the fundamental right underneath Article 21A. The country wide training coverage has made many new educational interventions consisting of the Mid-day meal scheme, Sarva Siksha Abhiyan, NavodayaVidyalas, KendriyaVidyalayas, and so forth. This national training policy specializes in bringing adjustments in the traditional training sample in college and better schooling. The countrywide training policy 2020 has been authorized by way of the union cabinet headed by way of PM Shri. Narendra Modi. Therefore replacing the old country wide schooling coverage, that's 34 years old, to benefit globally aggressive. The policy is nicely framed with five important key areas together with accessibility, equality, exceptional, affordability, and accountability. The United Nations Sustainable improvement 2030 schedule has set a benchmark for the country wide schooling coverage. The countrywide schooling policy is converting the Indian instructional system right into a globally aggressive education machine with the desired flexibility. The multi-disciplinary issue of the countrywide instructional coverage turns into a stepping stone for boosting college students' competencies. Aim of this article is how India's expands their employment globally based on implemented Indian's new educational policy.

Abstract:
This piece discusses the contours of ‘cooperative federalism’ and its implications on national and state governments. Since the middle of the last decade the Union Government is the main source of fiscal deficit, while states have done reasonably well to contain their finances. Since the mid-1980s, states have received relatively lesser share of total revenue, while centre has not taken adequate responsibility in terms of investments on developmental priorities like education and health even though key centrally sponsored schemes like Sarvya Siksha Abhiyan (SAA) and National Health Mission (NHM) have been introduced. Given that our domestic saving rates are not very high, combined fiscal deficit is high and GDP is growing only moderately, prospects of revenue growth is bleak. We would need to spend the resources better. It would be fiscally prudent to provide greater fiscal power to states so that education and health receive greater investment.

Abstract:
Since liberalization, the Indian educational policy displayed a remarkable tendency, an unwavering attachment, and strict adherence towards market fundamental aspects. It goes with a universal approach through Right to Education Act (RTEA) and Sarva Sikshya Abhiyan (SSA). This has resulted in unfettered equity and admission in the primary education system, educational institutions and universities enhancing the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in their tertiary sector. The Annual Survey of Educational Research (ASER), however, reported a major concern for a basic infrastructure tendency for schools, indifferent attitude of teachers, showing high rate of student dropout. At the same time, the higher education sector also showed less commitment towards innovation and research, leading to the poor patent turnout and good quality research articles. This paper explores such tendencies and lack of interest for the educational sector. In this condition, it is necessary to emphasize the unique role played by the private sector, wherein, the initiatives taken by Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS), Odisha, without any governmental support reflecting a unique model of quality education and funding worthy of replication and reproduction on a national scale. The initiative taken by Make in India reflects on the quality of education, concerning the primary stage to reap the high level of demographic share that indicates India’s efforts and aspiration of youth, cutting across religion, class, caste and gender, to respond more successfully to diversity in the classrooms. The Policy for Inclusive Education stipulates the government strategic path for the systematic and special educational needs of every child. This policy builds upon defined Constitution, as per the Agenda of National Development, the Plan of Education Strategy and International commitment to gain national and international goals to create an environment to address the diverse needs of better education.

Abstract:
Aim: This study was carried out to find the optimum fertilizer requirement and best planting method for higher productivity and profitability of Indian mustard. Methodology: A field trial was performed during the rabi season of 2019-20 on a sandy-loam soil at Agricultural Farm, Palli Siksha Bhavana (Institute of Agriculture), Visva-Bharati, Sriniketan, Birbhum, West Bengal. The treatments comprised of three methods of sowing, i.e., transplantation, broadcasting, and line sowing in the main plot and four nutrient managements, i.e., 60:30:30, 70:35:35, 80:40:40, and 90:45:45 (N: P2O5:K2O kg ha-1) in a subplot and replicated thrice in a split-plot design. Growth economics parameters were evaluated. Results: Transplanting method with the nutrient management 90 kg N, 45 kg P2O5, and 45 kg K2O ha-1 was significantly superior in terms of growth attributes, yield parameters, productivity, and profitability over other methods of sowing and nutrient management in lateritic soil of West Bengal. The transplanted mustard crop produced higher yield because it got the longest reproductive period and required nutrient level, i.e., 90 kg N, 45 kg P2O5, and 45 kg K2O ha-1. Interpretation: Finding appropriate method of sowing under different nutrient levels can be done using growth, yield attributes, and yield. Yield and profitability were found maximum under 90 kg N, 45 kg P2O5, and 45 kg K2O ha-1 over other nutrient levels and transplanting method of sowing of Indian mustard was better than broadcasting, and line sowing method in the present experiment under the lateritic soil of West Bengal. Key words: Indian mustard, Laterite soil, Nutrient management

Abstract:
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) plays a vital role in the Indian agriculture, industry and export trade. It commonly known as til and also called as “queen of oilseeds” has been known to be one of the earliest domesticated edible oilseeds used by mankind. It is grown in wide range of environments extending from semi-arid tropics and subtropics to temperate regions. A field experiment entitled “effects of irrigation and nutrient management on summer sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)”,was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station, Brinjhagiri, Chatabar of Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Siksha ‘O’ Anusandhan (Deemed to be University), Bhubaneswar (Odisha) during summer season of 2021. Treatments included three irrigation levels (I1: 2 irrigations at 21 and 63 days after sowing, I2: 2 irrigations at 21 and 42 days after sowingand I3: 3 irrigations at 21, 42 and 63 days after sowing) are treated in main plot and four nutrient management (N1: 100% RDF, N2: 100% RDF + 2 t/ha FYM, N3: 100% RDF + 2 t/ha FYM + Jeevamrut @250l/ha and N4: 75% RDF + 2 t/ha FYM + Jeevamrut @250l/ha) are treated in sub plot were experimented in split plot design replicate thrice. The experiment was conducted with the variety of TKG-21 followed the spacing of 30 cm × 10 cm. The experimental soil was sandy loam in texture with the pH of 5.65 and EC of 7.33 ds/m. The recommended dose of NPK was given 30:15:15 kg ha-1. From the experiment, highest seed yield (643.49 kg ha-1), haulm yield (1820.13 kg ha-1) and harvest index (26.04%) was obtained in I3. N4 (75% RDF + 2 t/ha FYM + Jeevamrut @250l/ha) showed second highest seed yield (652.21 kg ha-1), haulm yield (1882.07 kg ha-1) and harvest index (25.74%) which is at per with N3. Highest water use efficiency (2.72 kg ha-1 m-1) was calculated in I2N3. Hence, it can be conclude that cultivation of sesame under75% RDF + 2 t/ha FYM + Jeevamrut @250l/ha with 2 irrigations at 21 and 42 days after sowing proved better in terms of yield, economics and water use efficiency.

Abstract:
This paper provides an analysis of the education promises made in Treaty 7 by the Crown and federal government of Canada. Signed on the banks of the Bow River at Blackfoot Crossing in 1877, the treaty was desired by both government officials and Indigenous Nations in what is now southern Alberta—the Tsuu T’ina, the Stoney Nakoda, and the Blackfoot Confederacy: Siksika, Piikani, Kainai. As this thesis will demonstrate though, Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples viewed the meaning of the treaty in conflicting ways. This paper focuses on the creation and management of the schools in the Treaty 7 territories from 1877, the year Treaty 7 was “signed”, to 1923, the year in which industrial and boarding schools were merged to form the new category of “residential school” and the decade in which government policy for schools for Indigenous peoples began to take a new, less ambitious direction. The implementation of schools by the Department of Indian Affairs and their church partners, the type of education that was being offered to First Nations peoples, as well as First Nations responses will be examined.

Abstract:
This paper aims to investigate the entrepreneurial traits of Indian students enrolled in the Application of IT in Agriculture ELP (Experiential Learning Programme) at Siksha "O" Anusandhan University. Additionally, it seeks to determine the relationship between the students' entrepreneurial traits and socio-economic characteristics. Three entrepreneurial traits—decision-making ability, leadership ability, and information-seeking behavior—are incorporated in this study to establish the student entrepreneurial profile. Utilising pre-tested questionnaire with a 3-point Likert scale, convenient sampling was employed to get the results. Information was gathered from the Siksha 'O' Anusandhan University. A total of 34 surveys were sent via Google Form to all university students enrolled in the Application of IT in Agriculture ELP programme, and 16 of those surveys were determined to be appropriate for the investigation. Majority of the students demonstrated a medium level of leadership, information-seeking behaviour, and decision-making skill. Only undergraduate students with an ELP background in the Application of IT in Agriculture are eligible for this study, and the sample consisted of only one university. It is possible to do additional research with students from various courses and streams. Studies at different universities might be carried out to compare the degrees of entrepreneurial traits among the students. This study offers a deeper understanding of the course materials that work best for encouraging students to develop entrepreneurial traits and the materials that should be added to further develop the potential of entrepreneurs.

Abstract:
Hyde, Natalie. Cryptic Canada: Unsolved Mysteries from Coast to Coast. Toronto, ON: Owlkids Books, 2012. Print.Many of the ‘unsolved mysteries’ in Cryptic Canada are not mysteries. Most of the chapters are about well-known archaeological or historic sites where there are always more questions to be asked but their main mysteries have been solved. Others fall into the realm of pseudoscience. The ‘mysteries’ presented are: the Oak Island Buried Treasure, the ice mummies of Sir John Franklin’s crew on Beechey Island, L’Anse aux Meadows, the tunnels under Moose Jaw, The Freemasons in Winnipeg, ships sunk in the Great Lakes and the Majorville Stone Circle. The authority of the content of this book is highly variable. For most of the chapters, the facts are well-known, and the material is presented factually. For example, The Great Lakes Triangle, where many ships have ‘disappeared’, is known to have very bad storms and magnetic anomalies that disrupt navigation equipment. The only mystery is the location of the sunken ships. Often the stories are supported by a question and answer with an expert. In the case of the Beechey Island ice mummies, the expert is Dr. Owen Beattie, the distinguished anthropologist who led the excavation. For the Tunnels of Moose Jaw, the expert is the cast director for a group that does re-enactments of the illegal alcohol operations during the Prohibition period. We are not told if that person is an historian. The most disconcerting of the mysteries presented is that of ‘Canada’s Stonehenge’, correctly known as the Majorville Medicine Wheel or by its Siksika name, Omahkiyaahkohtoohp. Hyde presents this as a celestial calendar. Medicine wheels are Indigenous ceremonial structures. They are quite common in Alberta, some of them built in the past century. These “modern Blood Indian structures were built to commemorate the death place of, or the last tipi occupied by, a famous warrior”1 and are unrelated to calendars. The Royal Alberta Museum cites two astronomers who point out that Indigenous prairie people probably timed their ceremonies simply by observing the night sky and would have had no need for a celestial calendar. This book is colourful and nicely designed. Background colours and textures vary and text boxes overlay images. Both Matt Hammill’s cartoon drawings and modern and archival photographs are used to illustrate the text and tell the stories. The text succinctly captures the main concepts of each history/mystery and the language is appropriate to the upper elementary target audience.While this work can be viewed as just a harmless bit of fun, it may be a child’s first introduction to these histories. With the unfortunate distortion of the stories to emphasize as mystery, things which are not mysterious at all, and the unevenness of the authority of some of its resources, this book would be a good choice only as an alternative for libraries that already have authoritative historical texts. “What is a medicine wheel?” Royal Alberta Museum, 2013 http://www.royalalbertamuseum.ca/research/culturalStudies/archaeology/faq.cfmRecommended with Reservations: 2 stars out of 4 Reviewer: Sandy CampbellSandy is a Health Sciences Librarian at the University of Alberta, who has written hundreds of book reviews across many disciplines.

Sondhi, Sunil. "Sabda Brahma: Science and spirit of Language in Indian Culture Study of language and communication has been an important concern in India’s intellectual and cultural tradition. All streams of Indian philosophical thinking included in their considerations the basic problem of language and communication. While the seeds of the study of language in India may be traced in the Rig Veda, and the study of the structure of language as authoritatively established in the Ashtadhyayi, a full-fledged statement and discussion of a science and spirit of language was given in Bhartrihari’s Vakyapadiya. It was Bhartrihari who first systematically equated Brahma (Absolute Reality) with Sabda (language), going on to argue that all language arises as a manifestation of the Sabda Brahma.

Abstract:
The past is the prologue. We must understand where we have been before we can understand where we are going. To understand the Blackfoot Nation and how we have come to where we are today, this thesis examines our history through Indian eyes from time immemorial to the present, using traditional narratives, writings of early European explorers and personal experience. The oral tradition of the First Nations people was a multi-media means of communication. Similarly, this thesis uses the media of the written word and a series of paintings to convey the story of the Blackfoot people. This thesis provides background and support, from the artist’s perspective, for the paintings that tell the story of the Blackfoot people and the events that contributed to the downfall of the once-powerful Nation. With the knowledge of where we have been, we can learn how to move forward.

Abstract:
This research is focused on the teachings of the First Nations people which are grounded sacred stories and which continue to be recalled and recited through oral tradition. The teachings and lessons derived from the sacred stories can be described as ways of knowing. The study explores the persistence of the traditional ways of knowing as a source for influencing First Nations individuals toward greater cultural identity and strength in their present lives. The thesis addresses the value of Peigan ways of knowing as a tool for creating greater meaning in life; for enhancing spiritual wisdom; and for developing insight into and appreciation of First Nation oral traditions. As well, the thesis explores Peigan ways of knowing as an available resource for empowering present day Peigan youth. In researching the First Nations ways of knowing, one Plains Indian group, the Peigan, of which the writer is a member, was used as reference source. The Peigan First Nation belongs to the Blackfoot Confederacy and presenlty resides in southern Alberta on the Peigan Indian Reserve. All participants of the research are members of the Peigan First Nation. The research will begin with an overview of the writer's personal experiences as a student in on-reserve and off-reserve school settings, and later as a worker in the counselling profession. The purpose and significance of the study will be presented as well as the research design within the qualitative methodology. Four individuals were selected as interview participants who were born and raised on the Peigan Reserve. The literature review will reflect current research on the significance of story in the First Nations culture and conclude with the presentation of the recent history of the North Peigan people. The interview data will then be presented with emphasis on the themes that surfaced. Six major themes arouse, which included, renewal and transformation, significance of sacred stories, transmitting culture through story, path of life, the teacher and learner relationship, and finally, the vision for Peigan-Blackfoot youth. The final chapter of the study begins with a summary of the findings and an overview of the themes that details finer points making up the major themes. The implications of and recommendations following the study precede the study's conclusion.

Abstract:
The radical transformations attendant upon the imposition of colonial rule on the Siksikaitsitapi or Blackfoot of northern Alberta and southern Montana are examined in this dissertation in order to emphasise the threads of continuity within a tapestry of cultural change c.1870-1920. The dissertation traces cultural persistence through the analysis of texts of history and literature that constructed Blackfoot subjectivity in the half-century following the end of traditional lifeways and settlement on three reserves in Canada and one reservation in the United States of America. This interdisciplinary thesis has been undertaken jointly in the School of History and Philosophy, and the School of English, Media and Performance Studies. It combines the tools of historical research and literary criticism to analyse the discourses and counter-discourses that served to construct Blackfoot subjectivity in colonial texts. It engages with the ways in which the Blackfoot navigated colonisation and resisted forced acculturation while adopting strategies of accommodation to ensure social reproduction and even physical survival in this period. To this end, it presents four case studies, each focusing on a discrete process of Blackfoot cultural transformation: a) the resistance to acculturation and cultural revitalisation as it relates to the practice of Ookaan (Sun Dance); b) the power shifts ushered in by European contact and the intersection between power and Blackfoot dress practices; c) the participation of Blackfoot "organic intellectuals" in the construction of Blackfoot history through the transformation of oral stories into text via the ethnographic encounter; and d) the continuing links between Blackfoot history and literature, and contemporary fictional representations of Blackfoot subjectivity by First Nations authors. This thesis acknowledges that Blackfoot history and literature have been constructed through a complex matrix of textual representations from their earliest contacts with Europeans. This dissertation is a study of the intersection between textual representations of the Blackfoot, and resistance, persistence and cultural revitalisation 1870-1920. It seeks to contribute to debates on the capacity of the colonised Other to exercise agency. It engages with views articulated by organic intellectuals, and Blackfoot and other First Nations scholars, in order to foster a dialogue between Blackfoot and non-Blackfoot scholarship.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis compares the ancient games played by the Blackfoot confederacy and the Hopi Pueblos and examines their contemporary application. A literature review resulted in the aggregation of 34 Blackfoot games and 34 Hopi games. The 68 games were clustered into games of dexterity, guessing games, amusement, and games in legend. Twenty games were selected to be compared in the areas of equipment, purpose of play, how the game was played, number of participants, the gender allowed to play, the age of participants, season of play, the length of time to play the game, scoring, and how a winner was declared. This study also examines, through the literature review, personal communication and Internet information that the ancient games of the Blackfoot and the Hopi have contemporary application, which may be achieved with slight variations. Additional information on the composition, origins, linguistic families, possible tribal associations, and some European encounters of the Blackfoot and the Hopi was provided. This information is included as context to aid in the exclusion of games that may have been adopted from the Europeans. The thesis concludes there is an urgent need to identify the ancient games of Blackfoot and Hopi before knowledgeable elders are gone. Also it is recommended that this not be the end of the study of the games, but that it only be a beginning on which to build.

The objective of this thesis is to examine the archival documents that may be considered by the Supreme Court of Canada if the Treaty 7 Nations were to challenge the Federal Government on the Treaty’s content and meaning. The impetus for this thesis is two-fold. Firstly, recent decisions by the Supreme Court of Canada, in relation to Aboriginal historical treaties, have demonstrated a shift towards legally recognizing the sovereignty of First Nations. As more First Nations challenge the Federal Government on their fulfillment of treaty obligations, Supreme Court decisions will become more elaborate and exhaustive, providing many Nations with an opportunity to address treaty concerns in a more substantive manner than in the past. Secondly, the Blackfoot are my neighbours and I am very honoured to relay part of their story.

Full text
Abstract:
In Canada and New Zealand there are increasing calls for recognition of aboriginal rights which previously were ignored or denied because of the application of English law to concepts of property rights and ownership. English legal principles are vitally important in Canadian and New Zealand society, but there has always been room for local adaptations which could have recognised the existing practices and rights of the indigenous peoples. The English law makes various assumptions about ownership of rivers, dividing them into bed, banks and water, and applying various tests of adjoining occupation, tidalness and navigability to determine rights. Aboriginal property rights have been guaranteed and protected by various mechanisms such as government policy, treaty, and the courts, but there is uncertainty about the status of rivers. The form of the survey definition of reserves and rivers is also fundamental to how property rights may be determined. This thesis examines the situation of rivers in Canada and New Zealand through common law, treaty provisions and through what is now, a developing body of applicable and recognised customary/Aboriginal law. From these three legal foundations, a case study approach focuses on the practical situation of the Siksika people on the Bow River in southern Alberta, and the Kai Tahu on the Taieri River in Otago. This investigation concludes that there are various legal mechanisms by which indigenous people may claim rights to the rivers with which they have a relationship; by resorting to English common law principles; by applying new and developing conceptualisations of customary and aboriginal rights doctrines; by appealing to tribunals examining treaty agreements; or by direct negotiation with the Crown. All of these processes require evidence of past and current relationships, use and occupation of rivers by the indigenous claimants. Current undisputed possession and control may be a satisfactory outcome, but ultimately an acknowledgement of ownership may depend on politically negotiated settlements.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation examines the uses, functions, and meaningfulness of traditional personal names and naming practices in Niitsitapi (Blackfoot Indian) culture. The current study indicates that Niitsitapi personal names appear to play a major role in capturing and conveying various aspects of traditional Niitsitapi sociocultural knowledge. Niitsitapi personal names thus appear to form an integral part of Niitsitapi oral tradition, and also seem to play a powerful role in establishing and maintaining Niitsitapi conceptualisations of individual, as well as social and cultural, identity. This dissertation supports the position that, in addition to their nominative function, names contain and communicate sociocultural meaning, based on their associations with a wide range of non-linguistic factors which form part of the sociocultural environment within which they are used. The methodological approach stresses the importance of studying personal names in cultural context and strongly emphasises the use of indigenous knowledge as a means of explaining personal naming phenomena from a native cultural perspective.
