The Naxalite movement is a famous movement going on in many districts of the different states of India. This movement is considered to be one of the biggest challenges to the Indian state. This study aims to look at the matter through historiography, investigating when this movement began and the root causes behind the movement. By consulting other studies already completed about this movement, it has been analyzed that the major cause behind the movement was the suppression of peasantry at the hands of the landlord, bourgeois, and capitalist classes, and as a result, the peasantry stood up against the cruelty of landlordism and killed one of the landlords in a remote village, Naxalbari, West Bengal. But later on, this movement turned against the mega-development projects set by multinational companies in collaboration with the government. Hence, this research is an attempt to present the historical events, causes, and motivations behind the launching and continuity of the movement. The study is based on secondary data by taking the relevant literature to learn the perspectives of both sides, i.e., Naxal leadership and also government authorities. In this regard, few reports set by different committees and commissions can be more helpful in understanding and analyzing matters.

Tobit Regression Analysis

The chapter has two main objectives: i) To analyze the quality of elementary education in West Bengal in terms of the learning achievement in mathematics, reading and writing and the inequality among students across different groups. ii) To analyze the factors influencing the performance of the students in mathematics and language. Using secondary data from the Government of West Bengal's Utkarsha Abhiyan for 123980 students of class 4 across 12,912 schools it was observed that on average girls significantly outperform boys in all three subjects. Moreover, the inequality in learning outcomes is lesser for the girls than that of boys. Schools with basic infrastructural facilities have performed better. The Tobit Regression analysis indicates that various school-level and environmental factors have a significant impact on performances. Interestingly, funds per student and the gender of the teacher in primary education turned out to be insignificant. The chapter focuses on the fact that merely increasing funds does not ensure improvement in learning outcomes.

The assessment used a qualitative approach that focuses on data related to the assessment problem. Secondary data were obtained from various relevant literature to explore the correlationbetween empirical facts and government programs and regulations. The case study was conducted in October 2019 at Gapoktan Sidomulyo in Godean District, Yogyakarta Province. The results of the study showed that empirically, Gapoktan Sidomulyo is the advanced Farmer Group Association that successfully managed the farmer institution since it was supported by its history of formation and skilled human resources who were always market-oriented. On the other hand, the management of Gapoktan Sidomulyo still did not want to transform the Gapoktan into a legal business entity because it was considered more complicated and did not provide benefits.

Patachitra is a form of folk painting, popular mainly in the Indian states of West Bengal and Odisha. It is done on cloth by the natural pigments and homemade adhesives. Patachitra is considered as one of the most important ethnic traditions of India. The simplicity and the highly stylized coordination of bold lines and bright colours of Patachitra and its narrative approach of storytelling may attract any of the artists and art researchers. It was considered as a dying tradition. In the recent years, by the support of several government and social organizations, the art has revived. Through their effective initiatives the new generation of the Patuas (Who creates Patachitras) are getting new platform to be recognized for their hereditary skill and new marketplace to sell their work. Nayagram is a village of the Indian state of West Bengal. All the residents of Nayagram are Patuas. This place is getting popularity for the artistic talent of its people, by the support of the government and social organizations. This research paper is trying to identify the means of development for this kind of ethnic art and artists by studding Nayagram as a model. It is mainly a field work based study to know the on ground reality. Shyamsudar Chitrakar, a veteran Patua of Nayagram was interviewed to learn the real history of Nayagram. On the other hand the young talented woman Patua, Sonia Chitrakar was interviewed to know how she is approaching towards the future betterment of this traditional art form and the and her struggle as a woman belonging from such a marginal community. After compiling their inputs with the other information about the village from both the primary and literary sources the research finds the first four families of Patuas of Nayagram who were given land to live by Gunadhar Bishal, a wealthy farmer who was a lover of art as well. Gradually their relatives (Patuas) also started to come to live at Nayagram. Thus the place was identified by the government and social workers as the place of Patuas and the art of Patachitra. This Paper deliberates the initiatives to identify the challenges and prescribes probable solutions to develop other dying ethnic traditions in the world after studding Nayagram as a model of development. Статья посвящена патачитре — виду народной живописи, популярной, в основном, в индийских штатах Западная Бенгалия и Одиша. Она выполняется на ткани с помощью натуральных пигментов и самодельных клеев. Патачитра считается одной из важнейших этнических традиций Индии. Простота, тонкая стилизация, сочетание смелых линий и ярких цветов патачитры, а также ее повествовательность привлекают многих художников и исследователей искусства. Патачитра считалась умирающей традицией, но в последние годы при поддержке ряда государственных и общественных организаций это искусство возродилось, а новое поколение художников-патуа получило признание своих традиционных ремесел и новые рынки для продажи своих работ. В данной работе делается попытка определить пути развития этого вида этнического искусства на примере деревни Наяграм в Западной Бенгалии, жителями которой являются патуа. Статья основана на полевых исследованиях и экспертных интервью с жителями деревни. Обсуждаются инициативы по выявлению имеющихся проблем и предлагаются возможные решения для развития других исчезающих этнических традиций в мире.

Abstract One of the greatest challenges confronting the government in Nigeria today is the need to reduce infant and child morbidity and mortality in order to achieve the sustainable development goal 2030. Infant mortality is generally used to describe the death of infants or babies that were born alive but died before their first birthday. There is generally marked inequality in infant death between developed and developing nations but also within them. Culture has been found to influence the health of the people especially in developing countries where majority of the people are traditionally oriented and superstitious. Several cultural values, beliefs and practices have considerable influence on the health behaviour of Nigerians, which has been adopted by pregnant women, and carried over to their children resulting in infant mortality. These cultural beliefs and practices are some of the major reasons for the low patronage of antenatal health care and orthodox medicine. People have remained bound to cultural beliefs and values. People tend to view events of diseases and deaths from the cultural and supernatural perspective, thereby causing mothers to stick to traditional and cultural practices in health matters. The paper is purely theoretical and relied heavily on secondary data and relevant literature on the issue under consideration. The paper calls for adequate awareness and enlightenment especially in areas where cultural practices are very ingrained and where infant mortality is high due to these practices.
