India and Russia have enjoyed close and long-term relations which are marked by mutual respect and benefit. These relations have been especially vigorous in the field of Space technology cooperation. While India gained by strengthening of her strategic security scenario, Russia received much needed economic recompense. India’s ISRO and Russia’s Federal Space Agency ROSCOSMOS built extensive ties. The nature of cooperation in the space technology has been such that the benefits flowed to extended areas such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), telecommunications, military technology, fundamental research and also resulted in growth in investment. As the time passed, India and Russia embarked on the path of joint development of technology initiatives like Brahmos supersonic missile system. This paper attempts to explore the engagement between these two important global players over the period of time by highlighting the fruitfulness of symbiotic nature of this robust relationship. The paper is mainly based on the secondary sources and supplemented by various government policy papers, agreements, notifications, press releases and also media coverage of the Indo-Russian relations in previous decades. The paper will contribute to a broader understanding of development of a unique relationship and the opportunities which lie ahead.
Key Words: Space Technology, Strategic Security, Economic benefits, ISRO, ROSCOSMOS, Brahmos.

Space exploration has benefited society to find solutions to some crucial problems like resource management and weather predictions. Women are increasingly participating in space programmes all over world including in India. India can boast of many women achievers in the field of space exploration. This has become possible mainly due to grit and hard work of these women. The present paper throws light on works of achievers like Tessy Thomas, T K Anuradha, Sharmila Bhattacharya and Kavya Manyapu who have excelled in space exploration both at home and abroad. Paper also investigates trends in overall participation of women in total workforce of Indian space agency and finds it unsatisfactory. It is pointed out that India’s ISRO can take a lesson from its American counterpart NASA to balance the gender disparity in workforce and to cherish achievements of its women leaders. At the same time paper also highlights the scheme Women Scientists Program which is helping women to achieve balance in their career and family responsibilities

treacherous conditions for self-preservation. Despite being vilified, he earned admiration and loyalty from his companions. His
military career showcased exceptional leadership, characterized by his personal involvement in battles alongside his soldiers.
Notably, his courageous resistance prevented the collapse of the Holkar state against formidable adversaries like the Peshwa and
Shinde. While some of his methods were brutal, they were driven by a need to maintain authority and deterrence.
Holkar’s vision extended beyond warfare; he sought cooperation among Marathas to counter British influence, albeit thwarted
by internal discord. Despite his continuous engagement in warfare, Holkar made efforts to stabilize and promote prosperity in his
domain, fostering relationships with business communities and ensuring the protection of commerce. His interventions to resolve
disputes and support traders demonstrate a commitment to stability and economic growth.
While Holkar employed harsh measures for revenue generation, such actions were typical of rulers of his time. Thus, while Holkar
exhibited ruthless traits, he also demonstrated leadership qualities and initiatives for governance and prosperity, challenging
simplistic portrayals of him as a mere “devil” or “monster.”

The rural press is often a vernacular newspaper. One of the most crucial responsibilities of press is to set agenda for the Development of society. The Press including rural press can formulate a developmental perspective or approach by bringing about a debate at various levels of society. However, in India the rural press has not been able to educate the farmers to adopt the improved practices. It has not been able to fight the evil social practices, feudal tendencies, superstitions. Nor it has promoted scientific tempore or international awareness. Right to Education, global warming are some of the areas where rural press can have great impact. The financial difficulties faced by rural press can be tackles by introduction of concept of cooperative in rural press. Rural press can also have partnership with mainstream dailies to improve managerial and professional efficiency.

Within this historical landscape, Dr. Maharajkumar Raghubir Singh, born in 1908 in the princely state of Sitamau, emerged as a notable historian with a steadfast commitment to objective history writing.
The paper explores Dr. Raghubir Singh's nationalist sentiments and his dedication to uncovering the history of the Marathas, a dominant power in the subcontinent for nearly a century. His notable work, "Malwa in Transition," reflects his expertise in heuristics and linguistics, as he meticulously collected and scrutinized original sources to present ground-breaking findings.
Dr. Raghubir Singh's contributions extend beyond historical narratives, as he expressed his views on the philosophy of history, introducing ideas from foreign scholars like Spengler and Toynbee to Hindi-speaking audiences. His focus on understanding the culture and language of the regions he studied, particularly Marathi for the history of the Marathas, exemplifies his dedication to genuine historical research.
The research highlights Dr. Raghubir Singh's role in elevating Maratha history's significance within the broader narrative of Indian history, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive study of the 18th century. Furthermore, his meticulous analysis of documents, collaboration with other historians, and establishment of the Raghubir Library underscore his commitment to scholarly rigor.
In conclusion, Dr. Maharajkumar Raghubir Singh's legacy lies in his pioneering efforts to bring mathematical accuracy and a scientific approach to the research of Maratha history in Malwa, making invaluable contributions that continue to inspire generations of historians.

The narrative unfolds with the inception of medical education in Goa and the subsequent development of the School of Medicine and Surgery by 1842. A pivotal shift occurred in 1835 under Governor-General Lord Bentinck, leading to the abolishment of existing institutions and the directive for a new medical college to align with European standards. This marked a transition from vernacular languages to English as the medium of instruction, reflecting Macaulay's influential education policies. The founding of the New Medical College in Calcutta in 1835 represented a watershed moment, with the integration of Western and Ayurvedic teachings. Challenges included societal resistance to cadaver dissection, overcome by innovative teaching methods. The narrative extends to the establishment of medical colleges in Madras and Bombay, shaping the trajectory of medical education in India. The abstract encapsulates a comprehensive historical account, addressing the nuanced evolution of medical institutions, cultural challenges, and the transformative impact of Western medicine on India's healthcare landscape.

Among their primary concerns were organized violent attacks by the native population, prompting the British to employ a strategy of weapons control. The belief was that disarming the natives would give the British administration a decisive advantage. This strategy involved raiding suspected arms hoards and forcing civilians to surrender objects that could be used as weapons.
The southern Maratha region, particularly Satara, became a focal point of contention. Exploiting the turmoil of the revolt, Rango Bapuji sought to weaken British rule and restore the authority of the Satara court. Organizing support and secret stations in Maharashtra and Karnataka, Rango aimed to place either the adopted son of Chatrapati Pratapsingh or Shahu on the throne. The rebellion involved coordination with various communities, financial arrangements with zamindars, and the manufacture of weapons.
As news of the revolt reached Satara, the British initiated a crackdown, leading to arrests and executions. After quelling the rebellion, the British decided to disarm the native population in the Satara region, issuing detailed proclamations with severe consequences for non-compliance. The orders included surrendering weapons to the government, melting down weapons, and limiting the possession of certain materials. The British aggressively implemented this policy, confiscating thousands of weapons and cannons, melting them down, and maintaining detailed records.
The success of the British in suppressing the revolt can be attributed, in part, to their effective implementation of the strategy to disarm the natives. By rendering the opposition toothless and preventing the possession of weapons, the numerical supremacy of native fighters was neutralized against the well-armed British units.

This struggle between two dominant powers created a peculiar political condition in India. The British were able to demonstrate superior military and administrative capabilities and overpowered Matathas in series of battles. By 1818 the Maratha power was completely shattered and the British replaced them as the masters of Deccan region. The Bombay Presidency incorporated Maratha territories and the superior administration of Mountstuart Elphinstone ensured stable British control over the region. Special care was taken to prevent regrouping and rebellion by the Maratha sardars. The administration was quickly reorganized and lower-level officials were coopted to run the mundane affairs of the region. This paper is an attempt to analyze and review the process of transformation or the power from the Marathas to the British and relevant administrative changes.
