: All the academic pursuits are modelled towards the attainment of eminence in academic sphere. Although many factors influence academic achievement in science of secondary school students but problem solving ability and study habits are found to b e more influential. The present study focuses on the academic achievement, problem solving ability and study habits of adolescents. Survey method was employed by the researcher for the present study. The sample of study consisted of 400 tribal and non-tribal students selected randomly from higher secondary schools of Koraput district. Data were collected by administering the standardised tools, i.e., Problem Solving Ability Test and Study Habits Inventory (SHI) developed by the researcher. Collected data were analysed and interpreted by applying descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. The findings of the study disclose that problem solving ability and study habits of non-tribal students are better than the tribal students. Also the results of the study reveal that problem solving ability and study habits largely contribute for better academic achievement in science of secondary level students. Students having high problem solving ability and good study habits exhibit better academic achievement than the students having low problem solving ability and poor study habits.

The present work is an intensive research review encompassing the data of last two decades to provide a wholesome idea about the health of freshwater ecosystem. The study has been carried out in 7 major rivers of India namely Ganga, Yamuna, Kali, Subarnarekha, Godavari, Gadilam and Thamirabarani. Selected heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) in water, sediment and dominant finfish species (Labeo rohita, Heteropneustes fossilis and Puntius sp.) were studied. Results suggest that Yamuna waters have Zn, Cu, Pb levels considerably higher than the WHO (2011) and BIS (2012) standards. Sediment data has shown Cr in Ganga and Subarnarekha, Cu in Yamuna and Subarnarekha and Pb in Subarnarekha and Kali rivers respectively are considerably higher than the USEPA and TEL standards. The records for Cr, Zn and Pb in Labeo rohita; Cr, Cd and Pb in Heteropneustes fossilis and Puntius sp. have shown considerably higher concentration in comparison to FAO/WHO (2019).These records have been found much higher than the FAO/WHO (1989) standards. The target hazard quotient (THQ) and hazard index (HI) were calculated and found consumption of L. rohita from river Ganga and H. fossilis and Puntius sp. from river Kali are not safe for human health.

The alternative paradigm of development communication recommends the use of cultural forms of expression in spreading the messages of development in rural, underdeveloped areas. The Artist Federation is an ambitious project of the Government of Odisha which aims to institutionalize the process. The present study is a critical case study of the project in the light of the changing paradigm of development communication.

Libraries play a very crucial role in the higher education institutions by providing essential resources, academic support, and intellectual spaces for students, faculty, and researchers. Without a modern library, no academic institution can sustain and its existence is very much inevitable for any educational institution. This research article explores the specific role of libraries in higher education in India, with a special focus on the Central Library of the Central University of Odisha situated at Koraput. It examines the functions, services, and contributions of libraries in supporting academic endeavours, facilitating research and study, promoting information literacy, and fostering a vibrant scholarly community. The article also discusses the challenges and opportunities faced by the libraries in adapting to the digital age and catering to the diverse needs of higher education stakeholders

Wild edible fruits used as indigenous food and contribute significantly to nutritional security of several tribal people of Koraput. However, systematic investigation on nutritional and nutraceutical potential of these wild edible fruits are merger. Present study evaluated the proximate compositions, vitamins, phenol, flavonoid and antioxidant capacity in selected wildfruits of Koraput.The protein, carbohydrates and fat content in the wild fruits are varied from 5.54% to 19.51% and 25.54% to 66.52% and 0.7% to 8.11%, respectively. The wild fruits are rich in energy content which varied from 156.51 to 352.47 kcal100g -1 . The energy content was highest in Semecarpus anacardium followed by Aegle marmelos and Averrhoa carambola. The phenol, flavonoid and antioxidant capacity of the wild fruits were varied from 12.07 to 64.8mg 100g -1 dry weight, 1.07 to 6.25 µg 100g -1 dry weight and 10.98 to 97.56%, respectively.Based on the results, some wild fruits are rich in antioxidants should be promoted for the sources of natural antioxidants and beneficial for health.
