Vivekananda believes that evolution in human personality during recorded time has been social rather than biological; it has proceeded not by heritable variations in the species, but mostly by social, intellectual and moral innovation transmitted to individuals and generations by imitation, custom or education. This paper focuses on the Swami Vivekananda’s orientation towards the concept building of modern management. The Indian tradition provides a very rich of concepts and ideas in the domain of personality development. These ideas have been presented elaborately in the Vedas and Upanishads which are the richest sources of understanding personality development in ancient Indian thought. The issues of self, soul, human nature, human existence, and human experience in terms of what they are, what they mean, how they are determined, their manifestation in the human being an...

Cities are a part of the fundamental changes in the society leading to socio-economic development and modernization. The cities, irrespective of their size, provide possibilities of varied occupations and collective services, such as health, education, cultural, technological, commercial or industrial services and thus act as focal points of development opportunities. In spite of Raipur’s prominent role in the economy of the region, urban population and especially the urban poor face serious problems due to population pressure, deterioration in the physical environment and quality of life. Eventually, the size and spread of slums in this area not only help us to identify that they are not anomalous and pathological phenomena on the urban setting but also a manifestation of urban poverty that is still predominant in the urban economy in India.

This is so because environmental degradation has affected especially the common property resources such as land and water on which depend the subsistence and well-being of the local community. The study area being the foremost coal producing region of the country also ranked high in the record of environmentally degraded region. Huge areas in the Raniganj and Jharia coalfield in India have become ruined due to abandoned and active mine surface and underground mines. In open cast mines, waste resources are usually stacked as huge dumps in the surroundings. These, coupled with coal dumps, cause noteworthy visual impact. Large vicinity of forest, farming land, and pasture land has been transformed into colliery colonies or into uncultivated land due to rapid expansion of the coal m...

On a commercial scale mainly British companies started it in India. From its very first day exploitation of coal reserve started and it resulted into the environmental degradation through various ways. It is a topic of research importance because now a day the environmental problem is a burning global issue. Now a day if one observes any coal-mining project in India the truth aforesaid will automatically reveal. There is destruction of vegetation, soil resource, water resource; underground resource and great intensity of various pollutions have been observed. In short an inhuman treatment is meted out to the environment by modern civilization. The Raniganj Coal Field of Eastern Coal Field Ltd. and Jharia coalfield of BCCL are not an exception in this regard. Eminent Research scholars have done many research works in India regarding coalfield. But here the author wants to emphasize the environmental impact of the Raniganj and Jharia...

To achieve these objectives social development policy must focus on the human person, equity, social justice and security together with social cohesion, respect for human rights and non-discrimination and finally the participation of the people in the whole range of development policies. Social development calls for strategic investments in health, education and social services, and necessitates access of the underprivileged to means of economic well-being.

The researcher’s attempt in this paper is to find out the connection of addictionrelated stress and social disintegration of the migrant workers with the wide web of exploitation of labour through an empirical analysis. The intoxicants are the only medium for the migrants to leave the sufferings behind them for a time being. This paper highlights the push factors as the fabricated trap to exploit the migrants physically, socially and mentally for surplus production with cheap labour.

The idea of creating a healthy society is no longer a debatable luxury; its significance has been grasped by policy shapers worldwide. In a developing nation like India, medical services play a very important role in the well-being of their citizens and indirectly play a very important part in the economic and overall development of the nation. The medical education system is suffering from misdistribution, traditional curriculum, poor assessment, neglected research and lack of faculty development programmes. „Vision 2015‟ has potential for creating substantial change in Indian medical education. A stronger strategic approach will ensure a solid foundation for the improvement in the health status of India.

The supreme truth of all that is a being or an existence beyond the mental and physical appearances we contact here. Beyond mind, life, and body there is a spirit and self containing all that is finite and infinite, surpassing all that is relative, a supreme absolute originating and supporting all that is transient, a one eternal. A one transcendent, universal, original, and sempiternal divinity or divine essence, consciousness, force, and bliss is the fount and continent and inhabitant of things. Soul, nature, life are only a manifestation or partial phenomenon of this self-aware eternity and this conscious eternal. But this truth of being was not seized by the Indian mind only as a philosophical speculation, a theological dogma, an abstraction contemplated by the intelligence. This chapter indicates the central characteristics of Indian culture as it has grown from its beginning t...

However, the existing regulatory framework in India is not adequately developed or in tune with international standards that the extractive industries sector have been putting together. It is thus crucial for the Indian coal industry to consider changes in its regulatory environment to make it a par with the international standards to meet the critical requirement for energy security. In fact coal mining society is passing though havoc changes due to Government’s newly introduced multifold policies. The industrial relation now has changed immensely than the previous practices. Coal industry, which contributes 67 percent of total energy requirements of our country. After two phases nationalization the industry witnessed certain developments, which have implications for the human recourses management and industrial relation. In the beginning of the 90s one important event was the introduction of the new economic policy and this has a great influence over the coal mine sector. Impact of the policy Change is the introduction of a number of private operators in the coal production. Broadly, new economic policy initiated the gradual withdrawal of state from the control of basic industry and infrastructure. Coal mines are no exception in this regard. So the effect of new economic policy in the consequence of globalization also falls on the coal sectors. We now see what sort of impact of policy change has taken place upon the coal sector and coal workers. This article tires to examine the changes taken place due to policy changes and changes in general outlook of the people of coal mines in which they live. Now the industrial relation as well as the mechanism of work has been changed drastically. The traditional practice of work and mental outlook is gradually replacing with global method. It was noticed that people associated in this industry has started accepting the wider scope of work culture.

Accordingly, the thermal power sector and steel industries have been given a high priority in the national planning processes in India and a concerted focus on enhancing these sectors have resulted in significant gain in generation and availability of electricity and steel in the years since independence. To meet the need of huge demand of power coal is excavated. The process of excavation to the use of coal is potential enough to degrade the environment. Coal Mining is a development activity, which is bound to damage the natural ecosystem by all its activities directly and ancillary, starting from land acquisition to coal beneficiation and use of the products. Huge areas in the Raniganj and Jharia coal field in India have become derelict due to abandoned and active opencast and underground mines. The study is pursued to illustrate the facts which show the urgent need to clean coal mining in India.

It is important to conduct suitable assessment studies to learn the potential adverse impact of mining on flora and fauna. To overcome from the problems one should have knowledge about the various activities of environmental concern. A degraded environment has foreclosed alternative employment opportunities especially in the forestry and agricultural sector, leading the poor people to criminal activities. This is because environmental degradation has affected especially the common property resources such as land and water on which depend the subsistence and well-being of the poor groups. The study region being the foremost coal producing region of the country also ranked high in the list of environmentally degraded areas. Vast areas in the Raniganj and Jharia coal belt in India have become derelict due to abandoned and active surface and underground mines. In the open cast mines, waste materials are usually stacked as huge dumps in the immediate surroundings. These, coupled with coal dumps, cause significant visual impact. Large areas of forest, agricultural land, and pasture land have been converted into colliery colonies or into fallow land due to rapid expansion of the coal mines. As a result, the land use pattern has been changed considerably over the last three decades. This paper aims to study the impact of coal mining on its surrounding environment.

This newly edited volume is dedicated to Janusz Korczak’s heritage and its relevance to current affairs, especially to situations caused by the recent pandemic. The themes presented in this book include educational and social problems with a particular emphasis on human and children’s rights, social inequalities and access to education. The chapters in the book were authored by both well-established academics and by emerging researchers from Argentina, Germany, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Turkey, USA and Poland. The book includes an essay on digital activism by Waliya Yohanna Joseph, which was awarded the Janusz Korczak Prize for Global South 2020.
“Collectively, the chapters in this book intercede in scholarly responses to the global Covid-19 pandemic. Three prominent lines of thought make the book worthy of publication: 1) intersectional readings of children, 2) a valorisation of knowledge and experience from the Global South and 3) a prioritisation of emerging academic voices.” From the book review by Prof. Dr Marthinus Conradie, University of the Free State, South Africa.
“What connects all these texts, both case studies and essays is the attitude of their authors. A deep pedagogical sensitivity and critical awareness in reflecting on education, well-being and children’s rights in the times of the Covid-19 pandemic.” From the book review by Prof. Dr Aneta Ostaszewska, University of Warsaw, Poland.

From Foreward: "This edited volume about the educational, social and political issues of the globalized world, is a collection of chapters by experienced academics from many different countries that are directly or indirectly entangled in the post-colonial social and economic milieu. The chapters come from Algeria, Ecuador, India, Italy, Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, the UK and the USA. The book offers original ways of understating the social and educational contexts of globalized societies, through the critical lens of a post-colonial framing. In the title, the word ‘contexts’ refers to the inescapable social and educational environments that one is immersed in during their upbringing and throughout adult life. In some of the chapters we find discussions on the sociological aspects of the environment in which the education is constructed and delivered, in others we find the interconnectivity between the sociological aspects of life and the systems of education. The issues of social inclusion and exclusion are ever-present in each of the chapters and power relations are carefully examined, questioning the ideological and economic underpinning of education and the world’s social stratification. Due to the cross-continental nature of the book, the principle of world ‘englishes’ is willingly adopted, entrusting that the chapters will gain a global readership. The editors endeavour to allow contributors free expression of their personal beliefs, to create openness and space for passionate and sometimes ‘non-standard’ approaches, in order to avoid the routine of false objectivity. This is coherent with the nature of this book, which aims to reach out for innovative ways of understanding and describing the socioeducational matrixes we all function in."....

Symbolic violence in socio-educational contexts. Language, power and ethnicity
Thematic issues of "Language, Discourse, & Society", a journal published by Research Committee 25 “Language and Society” of the International Sociological Association, ISSN: 2239-4192, indexed in ERIH Plus.
Guest Editors: Anna Odrowaz-Coates (The Maria Grzegorzewska Pedagogical University in Warsaw, Poland) and Sribas Goswami (Serampore College in West Bengal, India).
This thematic issue of Language, Discourse and Society is dedicated to language as a tool to investigate power, discourses, and cultural and semiotic practices. Language is conceived per se and looking at its social functions entangled in hidden power structures and complex internal and external relations. This subject is closely connected to the issues of globalization and ethnicity crisis. The focus is on symbolic violence in socio-educational contexts. Symbolic violence refers to invisible mechanisms of power bestowed by not only verbal and written communication, but also as a tool for social engineering. In this framework, researchers are invited to submit papers on the dynamics of language and the linguistic norm negotiation, through globalization and localization processes in culturally diverse societies. Contributions which are related to children’s rights, human rights, issues of gender, governance, ownership, education and socialization are also welcome.
This thematic issue of Language, Discourse, & Societ welcomes both theoretical and empirical articles that produce an exhaustive monograph of perceived/hidden symbolic violence in endo-exo symbolic exchanges represented through language, discourse and socio-cultural practises.
The guest editors are notably inspired by the works of Norman Fairclough, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Félix Guattari, Martin Heidegger, Henry Bergson, Jean Baudrillard, Michel Foucault, Slavoj Žižek, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Walter Mignolo, and Ramon Grosfoguel. Contributions which use other references are welcome to enrich the overall thematic issue. The interest of the guest-editors already led to the publication of Symbolic violence in socio-educational contexts. A post-colonial critique (2017, published by Wydawnictwo Akademii Pedagogiki Specjalnej, Warsaw).
"Language, Discourse, & Society" is an international peer-reviewed journal, focused on advancing sociological knowledge concerning language, face-to-face interaction, and other language-related social phenomena. The objective is to investigate language from a sociological and/or a sociolinguistic perspective. This will be taken into account in the selection of articles for this upcoming issue “Symbolic violence in socio-educational contexts. Language, power and ethnicity."
In line with Language, Discourse, & Society policy, English, French and Spanish submissions will be considered.
Full original articles may be submitted to Anna Odrowaz-Coates (acoates@aps.edu.pl) and Sribas Goswami (sribasgoswami@gmail.com) by the 10th of December 2018. If you have questions, authors are invited to contact the guest-editors.
This thematic issue will be published in June 2019.

"This edited volume about the educational, social and political issues of the globalized
world, is a collection of chapters by experienced academics from many different countries
that are directly or indirectly entangled in the post-colonial social and economic milieu.
The chapters come from Algeria, Ecuador, India, Italy, Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, the
UK and the USA. The book offers original ways of understating the social and educational
contexts of globalized societies, through the critical lens of a post-colonial framing. In
the title, the word ‘contexts’ refers to the inescapable social and educational environments
that one is immersed in during their upbringing and throughout adult life. In some of the
chapters we find discussions on the sociological aspects of the environment in which the
education is constructed and delivered, in others we find the interconnectivity between
the sociological aspects of life and the systems of education. The issues of social inclusion
and exclusion are ever-present in each of the chapters and power relations are carefully
examined, questioning the ideological and economic underpinning of education and the
world’s social stratification. Due to the cross-continental nature of the book, the principle
of world ‘englishes’ is willingly adopted, entrusting that the chapters will gain a global
readership.
The editors endeavour to allow contributors free expression of their personal beliefs,
to create openness and space for passionate and sometimes ‘non-standard’ approaches, in
order to avoid the routine of false objectivity. This is coherent with the nature of this book,
which aims to reach out for innovative ways of understanding and describing the socioeducational
matrixes we all function in."....
Symbolic violence in socio-educational contexts.
Language, power and ethnicity
Thematic issues of "Language, Discourse, & Society", a journal published by Research Committee 25 “Language and Society” of the International Sociological Association, ISSN: 2239-4192, indexed in ERIH Plus.
Guest Editors: Anna Odrowaz-Coates (The Maria Grzegorzewska Pedagogical University in Warsaw, Poland) and Sribas Goswami (Serampore College in West Bengal, India).
This thematic issue of Language, Discourse and Society is dedicated to language as a tool to investigate power, discourses, and cultural and semiotic practices. Language is conceived per se and looking at its social functions entangled in hidden power structures and complex internal and external relations. This subject is closely connected to the issues of globalization and ethnicity crisis. The focus is on symbolic violence in socio-educational contexts. Symbolic violence refers to invisible mechanisms of power bestowed by not only verbal and written communication, but also as a tool for social engineering. In this framework, researchers are invited to submit papers on the dynamics of language and the linguistic norm negotiation, through globalization and localization processes in culturally diverse societies. Contributions which are related to children’s rights, human rights, issues of gender, governance, ownership, education and socialization are also welcome.
This thematic issue of Language, Discourse, & Societ welcomes both theoretical and empirical articles that produce an exhaustive monograph of perceived/hidden symbolic violence in endo-exo symbolic exchanges represented through language, discourse and socio-cultural practises.
The guest editors are notably inspired by the works of Norman Fairclough, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Félix Guattari, Martin Heidegger, Henry Bergson, Jean Baudrillard, Michel Foucault, Slavoj Žižek, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Walter Mignolo, and Ramon Grosfoguel. Contributions which use other references are welcome to enrich the overall thematic issue. The interest of the guest-editors already led to the publication of Symbolic violence in socio-educational contexts. A post-colonial critique (2017, published by Wydawnictwo Akademii Pedagogiki Specjalnej, Warsaw).
"Language, Discourse, & Society" is an international peer-reviewed journal, focused on advancing sociological knowledge concerning language, face-to-face interaction, and other language-related social phenomena. The objective is to investigate language from a sociological and/or a sociolinguistic perspective. This will be taken into account in the selection of articles for this upcoming issue “Symbolic violence in socio-educational contexts. Language, power and ethnicity."
In line with Language, Discourse, & Society policy, English, French and Spanish submissions will be considered.
