 Abstract

Menstrual Health Management (MHM) remains a crucial determinant of public health and gender equality within higher education. Despite increasing policy related to menstrual health, persistent barriers such as stigma, misinformation, and inadequate facilities continue to constrain effective management of menstruation among students in India. This study critically examines the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of female students toward MHM at Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU), Hyderabad. Employing a structured KAP framework and a descriptive cross-sectional design, data were collected from 200 students across diverse academic programmes and analyzed using descriptive and thematic methods. Findings reveal that while 78% of respondents' demonstrated moderate knowledge of menstruation, 15% was highly informed, and 7% low. Although 79% perceived it as a natural biological process, misconceptions regarding diet, exercise, and social participation persist. Approximately 68% used sanitary pads, 8% menstrual cups, and 5% tampons, whereas 41% reported absenteeism linked to pain, stigma, or lack of facilities. The study underscores institutional inadequacies, gender-sensitive policies, awareness initiatives, and improved infrastructure to enhance menstrual dignity, reproductive rights, and gender equality.

 Abstract

In today's educational system, educational technology is highly beneficial. The adoption of new terms like "Blended Learning" or "Hybrid Learning" has elevated the significance of educational technology. The usage of blended learning has increased dramatically over the last ten years, particularly since the pandemic. It is a hybrid of online and offline learning where students can learn at their own speed and professors can instruct. The goal of the current systematic review is to identify future trends in blended learning within the current educational environment. In a blended learning setting, students may attend in-person classes a few days a week and do the remainder of their schoolwork online using learning management systems (LMS) like Canvas, Moodle, or Google Classroom. This approach promotes a more engaged and independent learning process in which technology is used to supplement teachers rather than to take their place.

Priority Sector Lending (PSL) between public and private sector banks in India from 2019-20 to 2023-24. PSL is a crucial policy initiative by the Reserve Bank of India to ensure adequate credit flow to critical sectors, such as agriculture, small enterprises, and weaker sections. The study employs statistical methods, such as Mean, Standard Deviation, Coefficient of Variation, and Compound Annual Growth Rate, to analyze lending patterns across various PSL sub-sectors. Correlation tests are conducted to evaluate the relationship between public and Private Banks' lending activities. The findings reveal that private-sector banks exhibit superior growth rates across all PSL categories compared to public-sector banks. However, public-sector banks extend greater credit amounts in absolute terms. Private Banks demonstrate higher lending variability, whereas public banks show relative stability. Significant positive correlations were identified between the lending activities of both bank types across all the PSL categories. This study highlights the increasing involvement of private sector banks in PSL, although public sector banks maintain a predominant role. These findings suggest that future policies should leverage the strengths of both bank types to build a more inclusive and efficient PSL system in India. Ongoing monitoring and flexible regulations are crucial for ensuring that PSL effectively promotes inclusive growth and development.

 Abstract

Storytelling is one of the oldest and most effective forms of teaching that connects knowledge with imagination and emotion. In primary education, it serves as a dynamic pedagogical tool to enhance listening, comprehension, moral understanding, and creativity. This paper explores the educational impact of storytelling in developing linguistic, cognitive, and socio-emotional skills among young learners. Drawing on Vygotsky's Social Constructivist Theory and Bruner's Narrative Theory, it examines how stories create meaningful learning experiences. Empirical studies show that storytelling improves vocabulary, retention, and empathy while fostering cultural awareness and critical thinking. The paper concludes by recommending strategies for integrating storytelling into classroom teaching to promote holistic child development.

 Abstract

The evolution of digital communication has transformed the marketing landscape, with social media emerging as the primary channel for consumer engagement. Generation Z, born between the late 1990s and early 2010s, represents the first truly digital-native cohort whose preferences and behaviours are significantly shaped by technology. This research paper investigates how brands can effectively engage Gen Z audiences through social media marketing. Using a quantitative approach based on a public survey of approximately 500 respondents, the study examines their media habits, content preferences, and trust in influencer marketing. Findings indicate that Gen Z values authenticity, personalization, and interactive experiences more than traditional advertising. Platforms such as Instagram and YouTube dominate their online attention, while influencer credibility and short-form video content significantly affect their purchasing behaviour. The study concludes with actionable recommendations for brands to enhance engagement and loyalty among Gen Z consumers.
