Economic growth is a single dimensional concept, one of the most used measures for which is GDP per capita. On the other hand, economic development is a multi-dimensional concept with average life expectancy as the most popular measure. As per economists, economic growth might lead to economic development but not always. This paper sets out to find the exact level of correlation by using the two variables- average life expectancy and GDP per capita. This is done through the analyzation for the data over 5 years of 20 countries out of which 10 are LEDCs and 10 are MEDCs, situated globally. Simple methods such as mean, and standard deviation as well as complex methods including box-and-whisker graphs and Pearson’s product-moment correlation are used. This paper accordingly tests various hypotheses and uses the analyzed data to be able to prove if they are correct or not. Suggestions of future methods to improve the conduction of a study as such on a wider scale are also expressed.
经济增长是一个单一维度的概念，最常用的衡量标准之一是人均国内生产总值。另一方面，经济发展是一个多维概念，最常用的衡量标准是平均预期寿命。经济学家认为，经济增长可能导致经济发展，但并非总是如此。本文旨在通过使用平均预期寿命和人均 GDP 这两个变量来找出确切的相关程度。本文对全球 20 个国家 5 年的数据进行了分析，其中 10 个是经济增长缓慢国家，10 个是经济增长中等国家。本文采用了均值和标准差等简单方法，以及盒状和须状图和皮尔逊乘积相关性等复杂方法。本文相应地检验了各种假设，并利用分析数据来证明这些假设是否正确。此外，还就今后在更大范围内改进此类研究的方法提出了建议。

The first and most important Global Goal set in the Charter of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the United Nations in 2015, is “NO POVERTY.” Countries estimate the extremely poor population based on the International Poverty Level (IPL), which uses Global Purchase power parities (PPP) set by the World Bank International Comparison program. Some claims state that India has made substantial progress in fighting extreme poverty during the last few decades. Published data shows there is no headcount below the National Poverty line. This paper attempts to study the relevance of the national statistical data sets on the limits and levels for the poverty line in India as against the international poverty level, taking into consideration of the Purchasing Power Index, Gross GDP, and per capita GDP, Gross National Income, and Per capita Income, minimum wedge regulations, and the critical parameters for the Hunger Index.

This paper seeks to understand the role of public leaders from diverse fields in developing the Mid-Day Meal (MDM) scheme in India. Over the years, the MDM scheme has become a benchmark for public policies, evolving from traditional and religious charity practices of serving food to people experiencing poverty into a focused implementation of an education policy with a multiplier effect on nutrition care, education, and sustainable development. This study employs a comprehensive review of existing literature, including government reports and publications, newspaper articles, journals, magazines, and editorials, to evaluate the various leadership and institutional roles in the development of the MDM scheme. The analysis concludes that the success of the MDM scheme is driven by passionate initiatives taken by public leaders and institutions, including religious organizations, NGOs, Panchayats/Municipalities, Parliament, the Supreme Court, and elected leaders at various levels, from Prime Ministers and Chief Ministers to local government officials and bureaucrats. The study emphasizes that the effectiveness of any public policy is directly proportional to the involvement and initiatives of public leaders from diverse backgrounds. The findings highlight the critical role of strategic vision, commitment, and collaboration in driving large-scale social initiatives, ultimately contributing to the betterment of millions of children across India.

In South Asia, spoken narratives and folktales act as intangible forms of knowledge transfer. However, in recent years, the region’s once-flourishing oral culture has been sidelined by imperialism, modernization, and the dominance of print and tangible archives. Despite this, some tribes have managed to preserve their oral archives and continue to sustain the process of knowledge transfer through the spoken word. This paper delves into examples of such communities and argues that they challenge several Western premises while exercising agency over their own epistemic material. Additionally, the paper highlights the need to decolonize archival efforts in the digital age and suggests ways in which scholars can ensure that a tribe's knowledge systems are appropriately showcased, shared, and represented.

This research explores environmentally friendly products made from coffee grounds and examines the trend of using these products. The results illustrate: (i) Those who have never/do not use products made from coffee grounds often do because the products are not yet widespread, but this group is likely to purchase and use the products in the future; (ii) For those who have used/ currently using these products, they mainly started using them recently and a high percentage said they would definitely continue to purchase and use these products; (iii) The percentage of environmentally friendly products from coffee grounds is primarily between 20% to less than 40% within the group of environmentally friendly products; (iv) Common products made from coffee grounds include biodegradable coffee straws and cosmetics, with social media being the primary source of product information; (v) The purpose of using environmentally friendly products is to support the trend of environmentally friendly products; (vi) The factor of others around them using environmentally friendly products has the greatest impact on the trend of using products made from coffee grounds; (vii) Consumers are most concerned about the hygiene and quality of environmentally friendly products made from coffee grounds. Based on the research results, the authors propose several short-term and long-term solutions for businesses producing and trading products from coffee grounds to encourage Vietnamese consumers to use these products.

Van Panchayats embody the struggle for community rights and democratic representation. Established after a prolonged battle against colonial rule, they were initially designed as peoplebased forest management institutions. However, their effectiveness has been undermined by increasing centralization and near-complete subordination to the forest department. This paper examines the transition of Van Panchayats, particularly following the introduction of the Joint Forest Management Program, and compares it with the provisions of the Forest Rights Act, 2006. The excessive bureaucratization imposed by successive regulations has rendered Van Panchayats ineffective. It argues that Van Panchayats remain underutilised despite their potential to contribute significantly to conservation and development activities. To realise their potential, a comprehensive policy shift is necessary. This includes restoration of functional autonomy to Van Panchayats, reduced interference of the forest department, and adequate budgetary provisions. The paper advocates for the revival of Van Panchayats as a means to achieve a people based model of forest conservation and sustainable development.
Van Panchayats 体现了争取社区权利和民主代表权的斗争。在与殖民统治的长期斗争后成立的村委会，最初是作为以人为本的森林管理机构而设计的。然而，由于日益集中化和几乎完全从属于林业部门，这些机构的有效性受到了削弱。本文研究了村委会的转型，尤其是在引入联合森林管理计划之后，并将其与《2006 年森林权利法》的规定进行了比较。相继出台的法规所造成的过度官僚化使凡-潘查亚特失去了效力。报告认为，尽管村民委员会具有为保护和发展活动做出重大贡献的潜力，但仍未得到充分利用。为了实现其潜力，有必要进行全面的政策转变。这包括恢复 Van Panchayats 的职能自主权、减少林业部门的干预以及提供充足的预算。本文主张恢复 Van Panchayats，将其作为实现以人为本的森林保护和可持续发展模式的一种手段。

Psychological Well-being is an important concept used in behaviour sciences to evaluate the state of an individual in terms of perception, feelings, cognition and internal experience. This study investigated Operational Stress and Psychological Well-being among Police Officers in Benue State Police Command: The Mediating Role of Coping Strategies. The study employed a Cross-Sectional Survey Design, where three hundred and fifty seven (357) Police Officers consisting of 219 (61.3%) Males and 134 (37.5%) Females were used for the study. Their ages ranged from 19 to 59 years with the Mean of 38.13 (SD=9.54128). The Operational Police Stress Questionnaire (PSQ-Op), Brief-COPE Inventory and Psychological General Well-Being Index (PGWB) were used for data collection. Statistical analysis involved the use of Multiple Regression and PROCESS Mediation Analyses. Findings from the hypotheses indicated that, Operational Stress has made an independent significant contribution to Psychological Wellbeing of Police Officers in Benue State Police Command. Coping Strategies significantly influenced Psychological Well-being among Police Officers in Benue State Police Command. The result further showed that, Operational Stress and Coping Strategies jointly influenced Psychological Well-being of Police Officers in Benue State Police Command. Finally, Selfdistraction, Denial, Active Coping, Substance Use, Instrumental Support, Venting, Planning, Acceptance and Religion did not significantly mediate the relationship between Operational Stress and Psychological Well-being among Police Officers; while Emotional Support, Behavioral Disengagement, Positive Reframing, Humor, and Self-blame significantly mediated the relationship between Operational Stress and Psychological Well-being among Police Officers in Benue State Police Command. Based on the findings, it was recommended that, Police Officers should be enlightened on how to manage Operational Stress and develop good coping strategies. On policy basis, it was recommended that, Government should evolve policies that are aimed at training and retraining Police Officers on appropriate Coping Strategies; which will help in reducing Operational Stress and on the other hand increase high level of Psychological Well-being among Police Officers. Also, Non-governmental organizations with caring mind should support Police with logistics that will help reduce Operational Stress. This will help to achieve high state of Psychological Well-being and enhance better policing among Police Officers. Finally, more researches should be encouraged on the subject matter for further identification of long term solutions to problems affecting Psychological Well-being of Police Officers in Benue State Police Command in particular, and Nigeria at large.
