Micro-finance is used worldwide as an effective tool to reduce poverty through providing financial services to the disadvantaged groups such as low-income people and poor women who are traditionally excluded from such services. Nepal is one of the developing countries that is characterized by pervasive gender and caste bias. This study focused on gender and caste barriers that hinder the smooth implementation of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Nepal. Using data from semi-structured interviews of ten employees of MFIs and other financial institutions, this study showed that staff of the Nepalese MFIs were aware of caste and gender discriminations, but they were inactive in overcoming these social and cultural barriers in their routine work. The findings indicated that the disproportionate male-female ratio among the staff was a major hindrance in the smooth operation of MFIs. Lack of female staff and the passiveness of female borrowers lead to the problem of communication between MFIs’ staff and their clients. Based on these findings, we suggest that gender sensitive awareness training should be included in MFIs’ training and advocacy programs for staff and clients in Nepal. Equal opportunities should be given to females and low caste people in the process of MFIs’ recruitment.

The relationship held with liquor varies from person to person; a dear friend to those habituated to drinking however, a foe to those that lost a husband, a mother, a daughter and a son to liquor addiction, be it through consumption orharm induced by another consumer(s). The case of the Mizo Christians presents a unique construct on the making of a good Christian thoroughly rooted by the British Missionaries. One necessary pre-condition to the making of a good Christian was abstention from their beloved zu implying the renunciation to the ‘thing’ that held a tread that connected them to their cultural past. Thus, making abstention the symbol of the indigenized Christian and the culture left behind. The passing of years had only increased the Church’s aversion to the drink. Government policy enforced in 1973 had caused for such varieties to be introduced in the state. Prior to the introduction of the Mizoram Excise Act, 1973, civil society had done much to curb the proliferation of country liquor. The Mizoram Presbyterian Church in particular had lobbied for ‘total prohibition’ since 1991 which resulted in the enforcement of their objective, leading the reluctant Government to implement ‘forced sobriety’ in the state.

Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the society, business and economy around the world. The present study is conducted to understand and analyse the impact of Covid-19 crisis on micro-enterprises in Lunglei, Mizoram. For the purpose of the study, 80 micro-enterprises were selected as sample. Primary data were collected by using the structured questionnaire. Secondary data were collected through journals, books and websites. The study reflected that 80% of the enterprises’ revenue were negatively impacted by the pandemic. 58.75% of the enterprises were facing the problems in making obligatory payments such as salaries, wages, rent, taxes, loans etc due to the Covid-19 crisis. The present study also revealed that 28.75% of the enterprises’ working capital were already negative to run the enterprises if Covid-19 crisis continues. Therefore, the study recommended that the government, banks and financial institutions would take steps to alleviate the impact of Covid-19 crisis on the micro-enterprises by providing low interest loans, relaxation of the loan payment, new schemes for entrepreneurs.

The study focuses on the significance of agricultural credit that can bring change in the life of farmers and rural people. The rural sector is mostly neglected and lacks adequate finance that’s needed to back the sector. However, there are certain financial institutions that work for the welfare of the sector and lend credit facilities to farmers and associated people, for their wellbeing. The current study majorly recognizes the impact and benefits of these credit facilities in improving the situation of farmers at several unnoticed places, including Cachar district. The present study is exploratory in nature. It has explored the role of credit in farmer’s life. The data was collected through a structured questionnaire from 283farmers of Cachar district. The statistical tools applied for the study were “Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA)”, and “Multiple regression analysis.” The factors identified were Economic Development, Agro Development and Family and Social Development. It was found that there is a significant role of credit in the development of all the three factors.

Globalization and global interdependence from a multi-dimensional perspective have generated a web of connectivity and integration across all areas of the globe. Events or outbreaks are no longer confined to any particular region but have widespread repercussions and long-lasting impacts around the world. The revolution of ICT has further intensified the nature of dependence and the commonalities in terms of practises and policies located across the globe. Education and its various connotations is a powerful tool and a process where ICT dependence and reliance are closely intertwined. This study aims to highlight the nature of changes and development brought about in the field of higher education during the Covid-19 pandemic period and the role played by ICT in the context of Mizoram.

This article is an attempt to understand the complex issues of identity formation of the Mizos who are presently living in the corner most region of India’s North East. Here, it is interesting to study how identity is formed, constructed and even protected. This process involves centuries of historical journey that examines how the people perceived themselves and how the outsiders constructed their identity on the conception of “difference” that would include subjugation and internalisation. It aims to understand how space and territoriality that are imagined or constructed in the psyche of the people played a significant role in identity formation. These are the products of colonial intervention affirmed by Christianity and exposure to the world beyond their isolated hills. It would also focus on the formation and development of ‘Mizo’ in the pre-colonial and post-colonial era. Further, it would also highlight how the nomenclature of the ethnonym, ‘Mizo’ has been debated by the historians. On a methodological note rich archival materials and secondary sources on Mizo identity are employed.

Agriculture constitutes one of the major sources of income among the people of Mizoram. The areas used for cultivation in Mizoram are usually slashed and burnt down to ashes and are abandoned for years, the land is used and the same plot is re-use after 3-5 years. More than half of the total population is either directly or indirectly involved in agriculture. However, the income from agriculture is less than 5% of the State Gross Domestic Product (State Economic Report, 2015). In the last few decades Mizoram witnessed several changes in agriculture pattern as many farmers have been shifting from cultivation to small- scale agricultural farming. This paper highlights the transformation of agricultural practices and the major factors affecting agricultural production and attempt is made to examine the prevailing socio- economic aspects associated with farmers with special reference to Lawngtlai Rural Development Block and a questionnaire method was used for collecting relevant information for the purpose. The research found that there exist major transformations of agricultural practices in the last couple of decades. The cycle of shifting agriculture period has been shortened drastically. It is also revealed that farmers are gradually adopting settled farming from shifting agriculture and that government intervention and assistance has been increasing more and more in this field. It is suggested that agricultural practice be transformed from jhuming to settled farming and from cultivating the traditional crops to cash crops with governmental and institutional support for shifting to higher income in agricultural and horticultural crops.

Optimal hydration is an essential consideration for athletic performance and it involves activities before, during and after exercise. Hence, adequate hydration not only provides benefits for health but also facilitate to maintain athletic performance. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to evaluate the importance of sports drinks as a performance prerequisites. The central aim of sports drinks utilization differ according to the mode of exercise regime but from a hydration point of view it depends upon rapid fluid absorption, reduction of physiological stress and faster recovery after exercise. So, proper intake of different essential macro and micro nutrients will help our body to hydrate. Sports drinks is a such a product which contain almost all the things which we lost during sports performance. Similarly, dehydration is a condition which cause negative impact on sports performance. The performance of the athlete is very much depends upon their hydration point of view, which may lead to cause both psychological as well as physiological illness. During activity the major fluid loss occurs through sweat. Thus it causes increment of heart rate, body temperature and also reduces the fluid absorption rate, making out body resistive against the minimum demand of work. All these problems can be overcome with the help of isotonic sports drinks. It helps replenish the lost fluid and also provide essential electrolytes and carbohydrates to the athletes which ultimately helped them to execute better performance output.

It has been often said home is the first school and parents the first teachers. A child’s education is greatly affected by his environment including the home. As parents are major figures in the home, their education and occupational status would be expected to have bearing on the educational performance of a child. A study was conducted among secondary science students of Aizawl City Mizoram to examine if parental education and occupational status would have significant bearing on the study habits of the child. A sample population of 512 students from 8 schools was examined and the Study Habit Inventory developed by Dr. M. Mukhopadhyay and Dr. D. N. Sansanwal was used for the purpose of the study. Statistical techniques such as t-test were used to analyse the data and the study found that the study habits of children were affected only by the educational status of the mothers.

The purpose of the study was to find out the relationship between somatotyping and wellbeing of the female adolescent students who are living in a special home. For the present study, researcher has selected 50 female adolescent students from Govindo Home Panihati, West Bengal. The random sampling technique was used for the selection of the sample. Age, Height and weight were taken as personal details and different body measurements were considered for the assessment of somatotype components (namely endomorph, mesomorph and ectomorph). Well-Being Index was used for the measurement of psychological state of the subjects. All the data were recorded in form of digital score and then it was statistically analyzed in order to get the results and to draw conclusions. The two descriptive statistics namely Mean and SD were used. Pearson Coefficient of correlation was used to measure the degree of relationship at 0.05 level of significance. According to somatotyping assessment the overall categories of the selected samples belong to Endomorphic ectomorph category. It was also evident from the results that the female adolescent students living in special home poses Extreme level of well-being. It was apparent from the present study that the well-being has significant negative relationship with endomorphic characteristics as calculated ‘r’ i.e. -0.281 was greater than the tabulated value which is 0.279. In this regard the study also confirmed that the well-being has positive relation with endomrph and ectomorph body type, although it was proved statistically insignificant.
摘要本研究旨在探讨特殊家庭中青春期女学生的躯体型与幸福感之间的关系。在本研究中,研究者选择了50名来自西孟加拉邦Govindo Home Panihati的女青少年。样本的选择采用随机抽样技术。年龄、身高和体重作为个人信息,并考虑不同的身体测量来评估体型成分(即内形态、中形态和外形态)。幸福感指数用于测量被试的心理状态。所有的数据都以数字分数的形式记录下来,然后进行统计分析,得出结果并得出结论。采用Mean和SD两种描述性统计。采用Pearson相关系数在0.05显著水平上衡量相关程度。根据体质分型评估,所选样本的总体类别属于内胚型生态形态类别。从结果也可以看出,生活在特殊家庭中的女青少年学生的幸福感达到了极高的水平。从本研究中可以明显看出,幸福感与自同态特征之间存在显著的负相关关系,计算“r”(-0.281)大于表中值(0.279)。在这方面,本研究也证实了幸福感与内禀型和外禀型呈正相关,尽管被证明在统计学上不显著。

For the present study, researcher has selected 50 female adolescent students from Govindo Home Panihati, West Bengal. The random sampling technique was used for the selection of the sample. Age, Height and weight were taken as personal details and different body measurements were considered for the assessment of somatotype components (namely endomorph, mesomorph and ectomorph). Well-Being Index was used for the measurement of psychological state of the subjects. All the data were recorded in form of digital score and then it was statistically analyzed in order to get the results and to draw conclusions. The two descriptive statistics namely Mean and SD were used. Pearson Coefficient of correlation was used to measure the degree of relationship at 0.05 level of significance. According to somatotyping assessment the overall categories of the selected samples belong to Endomorphic ectomorph category. It was also evident from the results that the female adolescent students living in special home poses Extreme level of well-being. It was apparent from the present study that the well-being has significant negative relationship with endomorphic characteristics as calculated ‘r’ i.e. -0.281 was greater than the tabulated value which is 0.279. In this regard the study also confirmed that the well-being has positive relation with endomrph and ectomorph body type, although it was proved statistically insignificant.","PeriodicalId":316330,"journal":{"name":"Senhri Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124206047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
