2025-04-23T11:44:29+00:00

हिंदी साहित्य का इतिहास बहुत ही पुराना है लेकिन जैसा कि विषय से स्पष्ट है कि अंतरराष्ट्रीय महिला दिवस के शुरुआत होने के बाद से हिंदी साहित्य में महिलाओं की क्या स्तिथि रही है अर्थात साहित्यकारों ने अपने लेखन में महिलाओं के जीवन के किन पहलुओ को उठाया है उसी के संदर्भ में चर्चा करना उचित होगा जैसा की हम जानते है महिला दिवस पहली बार वर्ष 1911 में क्लारा ज़ेटकिन द्वारा मनाया गया था, जो एक जर्मन महिला थीं। इस उत्सव की शुरुआत पूरे यूरोप और उत्तरी अमेरिका में श्रमिक आंदोलन के दौरान हुई थी। हालाँकि पहली बार वर्ष 1913 में यह समारोह 8 मार्च को मनाया गया था और तब से इसी दिन मनाया जाता है।

One Nation One Election: Challenges and Opportunities for Indian Democracy and Electoral Reform

2025-05-12T06:41:25+00:00

The proposal of "One Nation One Election" (ONOE) — the synchronization of elections to the LokSabha and all State Legislative Assemblies — has re-emerged as a focal point in India's electoral reform discourse. Proponents argue that simultaneous elections can lead to administrative efficiency, significant cost reduction, and minimization of the policy paralysis often induced by the Model Code of Conduct during staggered elections. Additionally, the model promises to foster political stability, increase voter participation, and reduce the burden on the election machinery and security forces. However, the implementation of this concept poses formidable constitutional, logistical, and political challenges.

Impact of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation on Job Satisfaction Among Assistant Professors of Private Colleges in Punjab

2025-05-19T05:00:30+00:00

This study examines the impact of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on job satisfaction among Assistant Professors in private colleges across Punjab. With growing concerns over faculty retention and morale in the private higher education sector, understanding motivational dynamics has become increasingly important. The study adopted a quantitative approach, surveying 120 Assistant Professors selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Work Motivation Inventory and a standardized Job Satisfaction Questionnaire. The analysis revealed that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation are significantly and positively correlated with job satisfaction (p < 0.01). However, intrinsic motivation—encompassing factors such as personal growth, autonomy, and intellectual engagement—was found to be the stronger predictor (β = 0.59), compared to extrinsic motivation (β = 0.27). These findings suggest that internal drivers play a more substantial role in shaping how satisfied faculty feel with their academic roles. The study concludes that enhancing intrinsic motivators is essential for improving job satisfaction and recommends that institutional policies focus on promoting autonomy, academic recognition, and meaningful work. These insights can guide human resource strategies and policy reforms aimed at improving faculty engagement and institutional effectiveness in the private higher education sector.
