As the name signifies, the term ‘Swachh' denotes cleanliness in Sanskrit. In its nascent stages, the program attempted to ameliorate waste management – most predominantly open defecation and efficient utilization of resources. With the primary motive of having a hygienic surrounding environment for its people, the government of India initiated sundry cleanliness drives under this campaign. However, the conceptualisation and formulation of plans is one aspect – the praxis, i.e., the practical implementation of these plans is another important consideration altogether, which is perhaps the primary concern for the Government of India – for, if there is an inability to acquire mass involvement and participation then there is an automatic implication of failure. By having a comprehensive understanding of the motivational factors and attitudinal characteristics that members of a given community harbor – it would be relatively efficient at gaining mass involvement. Consequently, by addressing those factors and formulating plans on the basis of such fundamental facets there could be an exponential rate of success for such programs. Adding on to the literature and knowledge, which pre-exists within this domain, the subsequent research can aid in the better understanding of social perceptual phenomena and the successful implementation of programs related to campaigns addressing such issues. The study undertaken had a sample size of 1000 respondents. The findings of the paper suggest that the cumulative assessment across the concerned thematic factors (political, social, environmental, and communicational) apropos the initiative indicate an effective social (r)evolution with respect to the perceptual notions of the sample population involved.

Health has to be seen not only from the medical model but must include the significant and integral aspects of human psychology. We cannot treat the mind and body as two entities. There is an assumption that 50 percent of mortality from the ten leading causes of death can be ascribed to behaviour. If this is so, then behaviour and lifestyle have a potentially major effect on longevity. Health psychology attempts to move away from a simple linear model of health and examines the combination of factors involved in illness – biological (e.g. a virus), psychological (e.g. behaviours, beliefs) and social (e.g. employment, socio-economic status, etc.). The biopsychosocial model of health and illness that was developed by Engel (1977, 1980) asserts and establishes this understanding.

These small variances in the initial conditions could have profound and widely divergent effects on the system's outcomes (Americanscientist.org). Subsequently, this came into popular culture as Chaos Theory or Butterfly effect which meant that ‘the cause and effect relationship of any occurrence cannot be precise and can have a far-reaching variable impact.' Here an attempt is made to understand the socio-economic repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic keeping in mind the framework of Chaos Theory.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Jijina, Parisha Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2019-12-31 Description An account of the resource The prevalence of mental illness in India is rapidly increasing and of grave concern is the decreasing age of onset among the youth. This article below outlines the significant concerns and challenges of the mental health care system in India and proposes key measures to deal with these complex challenges. This paper is divided into four sections: the first section focuses on the complex nature of mental illness with respect to overlapping symptoms of various disorders, co-morbidities and the mediating role of physiological factors. The role of the stigma surrounding mental illness in reducing help-seeking behaviour and adherence to treatment is highlighted. The second part of the article outlines the various challenges in the treatment of mental illness with respect to the lack of trained manpower, lack of formulation-based treatment, the over-emphasis on diagnosis, and various such critical factors. The third section outlines the challenges at the policy level including the lacunae of funding into mental health, lack of insurance for mental illness, and lack of awareness about the rights of people with mental illness. The article concludes with the enumeration of the various indirect contributory factors in the rise of mental illness such as increasing demands and stress, the mediating role of technology, rapid social change, unemployment, and the fragmentation of family and consequent isolation. The various measures to bridge the gap in India's mental health care system are simultaneously discussed.

The book is a result of travels undertaken by the author inside his country and observations made throughout the journey which inspire a perspective from him on what defines America and the American dream. The author has found knowledge and inspiration from certain ideals of his father- Philip Alexander Kaplan who was an ordinary citizen of America but with values that hold the country in high regard. His father was a truck driver and traveled throughout the country exploring the vast terrain and Kaplan too undertook the cross-country journey imbibing the meaning and significance of America's vast land expanse and natural resources and what that means of the people of the country.

The poems, in Akhil Katyal's How Many Countries does the Indus Cross, are infused with the politics of bygone days of the Indian subcontinent which unfailingly defines our present-day politics and dictates the lives of the people. With an engaging title, the poet critiques absurdly painted borders of the surfaced nations on the map of the Indian subcontinent in the twentieth century. Every country that Indus passes through has been witnessing ongoing unrest. These countries have been engulfed in territorial conflicts, regions in the course of Indus have witnessed suffering and fought a politicized dispute over the water of Indus. In spite of all, as the poet shows, irrevocable Indus, ironical as it seems, overruns the divided lands unifying the people in their experiences. Katyal's poems, interspersed with a thematic plethora, engage the readers with the stylistic appeal.

Even as everyone interprets a work of literature in their own way, I see a sense of urgency in the tone often taken by the author. There is an attempt to establish that all those living in one house may be dealing with more than one hierarchy in a neighborhood, a city, a country. What is unsettling is the impact of the perceptions of those around on the narrator and his family, the lack of acceptance for anything that looks different from the rest is exhausting and attacks the spirit of those who are already suffering from financial disparity as well as violence within a household.

Dr. B. Mukopadhyay discusses how the practices available in yogic sciences can preserve mental health and can prevent mental ailment along with its remedial measures. From the beginning of the last century research work on the psychology of the east created a huge impact among the psychologists and the educationists of the west and they observed yogic sciences form the core of eastern psychology. Dr. D.M. Pestonjee and Taronish Pastakia reflect upon inter-generational adjustment issues in the workplace. The modern world of work has to take into account factors like uncertainty, complexity, speed, technology, virtual- workspace, hyperspecialization, cultural diversity and communication, and also macro-level factors like gender-issues, work-life balance, the changing legal environment, social structure, and support systems and mental health issues. Cutting-edge advances in the virtual-workspace like the roles of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) have also been discussed.
