Education is a basic requirement for female students’ transformation and advancement and is the prime ingredient of human resource and socio-economic development. Thus, the present study aims to look into major barriers influencing female students’ participation in the classroom and their empowerment. The researcher deployed a descriptive survey research design. The study also engaged quantitative and qualitative approaches. For this purpose, out of ten sub-cities, five sub-cities were selected randomly. The sample of this study consisted of five principals for an interview, selected by purposive sampling method, 100 secondary schools’ teachers, and 300 students selected by using a simple random sampling method. A closed-ended and an open-ended questionnaire were adopted to collect quantitative and qualitative data from teachers and students. There were five focus group discussants from five sample secondary schools, each group encompassing five members. The time taken was one hour for each FGD at a different time span. The study was carried out from October 1 to November 3, 2021. The findings show that the insufficiency of female students’ self-confidence does not contribute much to their success in classroom participation. Further, female students are not getting adequate benefits from socio-cultural empowerment. In short, the internal and the external challenges affect in many respects’ female students’ classroom participation.

As we know the Army personnel job is one of the toughest among various professions. Work stress refers to harmful bodily and emotional responses that arise when the job requirements don’t match the needs, ability and expedient of the individual. They have to face various adverse situations around their surrounding as well as various emotional turmoil. There is a lot of pressure for army personnel to match the expectation of their job requirement and intermittently it happens that they cannot even participate in their family’s happiness and sorrowful times. The outcome of long-term chronic work stress can be manifest as physical and psychological symptoms such as headache, body pain, fatigue, lethargy, diminished sleep and appetite. So, to deal with the chronic stress the army personnel have to adapt some coping strategies that help in facing the situation. Coping strategies meant that behaviour or thought processes are used in reacting to a disturbing situation. It is simply taking a direct and conscious approach towards an issue instead of using protective mechanisms. The way the Army personnel cope with the situation completely depends on the personality trait of the individual and whether they use active or passive coping methods. This article will reflect on the concept of work stress and explore the various coping strategies that can be used by the Army personnel.
Keywords: Work stress, coping strategies, army personnel

Authors: Hussain Ebrahim*
Healing in the lap of nature is an intuitive insight amidst discourses on the mental health of aboriginals. While the wilderness offers a therapeutic exploration of the tribal mind, socio-political marginalization often impacts the wellbeing of minority groups. Children from indigenous families are most vulnerable to the witnessing of such victimization and isolation. While parents struggle to make ends meet, with drug intake and alcohol addiction - the recipients of frustrated living conditions in harsh geo-social settings, are kids born into tribes. Art having a language of its own allows for this transcendental healing to occur, in a multilingual context of diverse cultural histories. Performance and visual arts offer tremendous potential to mitigate ADHD-related violent tendencies, as well as help adults to abate reactionary behaviors while holding a healing space for differentially-abled minds. Parents of indigenous origins, and teachers from special-needs inclusive schools - involved in the learning processes of adolescents and toddlers from settlements of aborigine - must be equipped with techniques to channel disruptive behavior such as restlessness or rage. The environmental setting offers immense potency to reconfigure the socio-ecological descent of aggression and hyper attenuation. Using environmental sciences as an extra-curricular subject to involve students in interpersonal skills development, assessment was structured to be holistic of varied learning styles and integrative of disciplines.

| 7 | Drop out in Psychotherapy: A Holistic View |

, pp 48-53
Drop-out can be defined as when patients leave treatment sessions early in an unplanned manner before treatment has finished; patients stop attending without prior agreement. Drop out in therapy is caused by low socio-economic status, prior psychiatric treatment and personality variables, which include “social isolation, hostility, borderline diagnosis, lack of psychological mindedness, low tolerance for frustration, poor motivation, feeling uncomfortable with seeing a mental health professional and perception of the therapist as less competent and trustworthy”. Those who reported higher levels of impulsivity, disorganized behaviors, and a diagnosis of conduct disorder were more likely to drop out of treatment. The phenomenon of drop out can be observed in cognitive behavior therapy, family therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, cognitive therapy, group therapy etc. at least a closing session should be available for the client and the therapist to work through the treatment termination to process treatment progress, consolidate therapeutic gains, empower the client in his or her readiness to do without therapy, process emotions for the impending separation, and discuss how the client would proceed and continue the change process without having therapy in his or her life before closing the therapeutic relationship. The drop out can be minimized by understanding the goals and expectations and sending appointment letters to the patients whenever they missed a scheduled visit.

Due to the global pandemic of the COVID-19 virus, schools have been shuttered and parents and guardians are now responsible for providing their children's education. Like in other ways, this is one way in which the crisis will disproportionately hurt young children lives. Not compromising with isolation has caused anxiety for both parents and the children. Children are affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic psychologically. They face stress, uncertainty, massive changes in their regular lifestyle, and feelings of separation from friends and family, and a significant amount of pressure on the parents. The pandemic also affected the socio-emotional, physical activity, and family constellation in young children's lives. They caused many psychological problems. It's understandable that parents would do anything they could to protect their children from distress and grief, including avoiding conversations about painful emotions and stressful situations. There were many different ways in which adolescents felt their relationships with family and friends had changed as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions. It has both positive and negative effects on physical and mental health for all people, especially young children. The lockdown has shut down many businesses and caused universities and schools to close or shift their method of teaching to an online platform. The COVID has restricted children to their homes, and this isolation has caused certain negative impacts on their mental health. We believe that improving mental health services, especially those for children and adolescents, should be a central part of any comprehensive, society strategy to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Authors: Gurmangeet Kaur Pandey*
The objective of this study is to analyze what problems disabled women face in culturally traditional and gendered Indian society and access how far Indian legislations, International declarations, and conventions are successful in resolving these problems. This paper discusses how disabled women are perceived in Indian history and society and what happens at the intersection of gender and disability with the disability movement in India being largely male-dominated. An attempt is made to examine the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Disabled Persons, 1975, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities adopted in 2006 (which came into force in 2008), and two Indian legislations: the Persons With Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act,1995, and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (hereinafter referred as PWD Act and RPWD Act respectively). India is a signatory to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities,2008. RPWD Act of 2016 came into force to give effect to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. RPWD Act of 2016 replaced the PWD Act of 1995. It was found that the PWD Act of 1995 was not inclusive of disabled women but the RPWD Act of 2016 made major strides in recognizing the rights of disabled women. But still, there are some weaknesses as far as the implementation of the RPWD Act is concerned in letter and spirit. Also, this Act doesn’t completely address the practicable problems which women with disabilities face in their lives.
Keywords: Disability, disabled women, RPWD Act of 2016.

Disability is a challenge for the stakeholders since the early days, the area has gained interest in many disciplines. Visual impairment is the type of disability that affects the ability to sense and interpret visual cues. Adolescents with visual impairment face many difficulties in their life due to their restricted senses. This has a serious impact on their personality and mental health. Self-disclosure is the tendency of individuals to share personal information with others. Automatic Negative Thoughts are quick sudden thoughts with negativity that may or may not have a cause.

A one-hour program of yoga was given by a trained coach for especially abled for 2 months to the subjects. Self-disclosure inventory by Sinha (2003) and the Automatic Thought questionnaire by Hollen and Kendal (1980) were used to get the scores.Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to calculate the results. A Significant difference was found between the scores of participants of the experimental group, pre and post- yoga sessions. But no significant difference was seen in the scores of the control group.

The relationship between self-esteem and gender norm conformity has been one that has changed over the years. Due to the dynamic results over different periods of time, the authors found it relevant to conduct a review of literature over a period of 45 years. 44 articles were included in this review from the period 1975-2020. The articles included were mostly empirical ones. We found different models (androgyny, masculinity and congruence) gaining momentum over different time periods. Additionally, we saw how most researchers found a positive connection between masculine gender norm conformity and self-esteem. We showed how the patriarchal system of society and the socio-cultural contexts of different periods of time influenced our findings. We concluded that neither masculinity nor femininity is inherently linked to self-esteem.
Keywords: Gender norm , Self-esteem, Masculinity, Femininity, Androgyny, Social-cognitive theory of learning
