The widespread adoption of machine learning techniques in recent years have significantly transformed multiple fields, including healthcare. This paper describes the development of a Drug Information Chatbot that uses ML algorithms, open FDA API and the Drug bank dataset to offer detailed and tailored information on pharmaceuticals. The chatbot's objective is to meet the growing demand for easily accessible and trustworthy drug-related information among healthcare professionals and the general public. After we integrated these varied information types, the platform can strive to render a dynamic and interactive environment to the user for all the statements they need to make on pharmaceutical substances. We prepared a sophisticated chatbot interface, an up-to-date natural language processing algorithm will power the platform, facilitating a smooth interaction between user and machine, allowing one-on-one data retrieval and customer-centered undertaking. We also synced to the open FDA API, which allows uninterrupted access to live uploads and regulatory information, including drug approvals, withdrawals, drug recalls, safety alerts, and warnings. In addition, we used an expansion of the Drugbank dataset adds value to the portal, allowing users to have access to an immense resource of information, within which drug properties, drug interactions, and pharmaceutical mechanisms are included. This research draws attention to the combination of traditional references with contemporary mathematical software packages, showing that the blending of these two facets can lead to a more potent clarification of the new insights. Expected outcomes will be an upgraded customer experience, a higher accessibility level to medication-related content, and the creation of a professional source of knowledge widely demanded by the users, and the public. We can ensure that it can be a powerful tool to transform the practice of pharmaceutical research, be adopted in clinical protocols, and change policy directions in public health.

Before and during the struggle for independence, the agriculture sector was the driving engine of the Indian economy. In the 1960s, an immense technology transfer occurred in the Global South that resulted in increased agricultural production. India introduced High-Yielding Variety (HYV) seeds and increased the usage of fertilizers to bring the green revolution in India.
In this paper, the authors examined the shift in the production of wheat and rice in India in the decades following the green revolution, analysed the production of wheat and rice from the year 1950-51, and observed whether these two factors are still influenced by the green revolution of 1965. The paper also concentrates on the scale of the green movement in India. Time-series analysis and smoothing techniques have been applied to observe the trends and to predict the production for the year 2025. After analysing rice and wheat food grain production data (from 1950-51 to 2023-24), food grain production in India increased after 1965 (the Green Revolution was introduced in India). It has been a remarkable rise. Regression analysis has been applied to check the relation between rice production and wheat production across these years, which comes out to be a close to perfect association. At the moment of the green revolution, the technical advances introduced still impact overall output and rise over time. However, the prediction is showing that this growth may not continue, perhaps, without introducing new technologies as per current needs and taking care of climate change in the country.

At this stage, the learner has transitioned from childhood to adulthood and is prepared to join the workforce and navigate the world. Consequently. The teaching approaches that were effective in elementary school, high school, and even college may no longer be suitable. Andragogy emphasizes aiding adults in learning and enhancing their skills in ways that foster personal growth, while pedagogy is centred on helping children learn and develop in a manner that supports their individual growth. The primary focus of andragogy is on facilitating more effective learning for adults. Andragogy is generally described as the art or science of teaching adults or assisting them in learning. Unlike pedagogy, which refers to the education of children, andragogy is founded on a humanistic view of learners who are self-directed and independent, with teachers acting as facilitators of the learning process. In this theme paper the theoretical concepts of development of Andragogy approach, Principles of andragogy, limitations of andragogy and application of andragogy in teaching are discussed in detail.

Originally spiritual, it is now recognized for its mental and physical health benefits. Pranayama, the control of breath, is a crucial component of yoga that helps regulate the body’s energy and stress responses. Numerous studies have linked yoga with improved mental health, emphasizing its role in reducing stress and enhancing emotional well-being. As mental health is a key factor in learning, it is crucial to explore how these practices can also influence academic performance. This thematic review examines the role of yoga and pranayama as tools for enhancing both student mental health and academic achievement. Drawing from extensive research, the paper establishes how regular practice of these techniques significantly lowers stress, improves concentration, reduces absenteeism, increases engagement in learning, improves emotional stability, and boosts cognitive clarity—all essential for academic success. It discusses quantitative improvements in academic performance alongside qualitative enhancements in emotional resilience, demonstrating how yoga and pranayama bridge the gap between physical wellness and academic outcomes. Recommendations are made for educators and policymakers to adopt these practices within school routines, with further research encouraged to validate the findings of the study through structured programs in various educational settings.

With the reforms in our education system school education has become more inclusive and engaging for diverse learners. To cater for the literacy skills of diverse learners, an intervention that has paved its way in mastering reading skills in a systematic, explicit and cumulative manner is structured literacy approach. Structured Literacy refers exclusively to evidence-based systematic instructional approaches aligned with the science of reading. This instructional intervention model focuses on building and developing the foundational literacy skills of phonemic awareness, letter-sound correspondences, syllables, morphology, syntax, and semantics using explicit, systematic instructional principles. In comparison to traditional literacy approaches, structured literacy incorporates a multimodal approach to instruction engaging multiple senses within instruction, providing learners with a strong foundation in literacy. This research paper includes a narrative review of literature on the positive outcomes of structured literacy approach for enhancing all learners reading abilities within an inclusive learning environment. The findings emphasize the potential of structured literacy approach in order to promote literacy success in academic learning and critical importance of professional development of schoolteachers to advocate for its effective provision and implementation of teaching reading in school. The 21st century education system addresses the need for literacy programs to include global viewpoints and cultural knowledge, moving toward interactive and collaborative learning environment for the educational success of diverse learners.
