The Mahabharatha is a treasure trove of memorable stories and amazing characters. It is basically about the good triumphing over the bad. It showcases the life and struggles of the Pandava brothers (the good) and their struggles to overcome the many challenges posed by their greedy cousins, the Kauravas (the bad). Besides the two groups, all the characters have shades of grey which humanizes them. In the Mahabharatha, Bheema, the mighty Pandava, is depicted as a great warrior, an obedient son and a loving brother. He is the one responsible for the decimation of all the Kauravas in the final war. But how many of us know about Bheema’s personal life and his family? This figment of imagination offers a chance to delve into the unexplored aspects of this great warrior – up close and personal. It also tries to do justice to some of the lesser known yet extremely important characters of the Mahabharatha. The inspiration behind this story is the Malayalam novel “Randaamoozham” written by Sri. M. T. Vasudevan Nair (The English translated version is titled - The Lone Warrior). It is an exceptional and unique take on the Mahabharatha, written from the viewpoint of Bheema. It served as a stimulant for the author to write this piece.
Imagine a world where there was no internet, no mobile phones, tablets or any of the hi-fi gadgets that kids today are used to. Telephones (Landline), Transistors/Tape Recorders were the most high end gadgets of those times and were considered luxury items, found in only certain homes of middle class India. So how did children spend their time especially their holidays? Most holidays were mostly spent travelling (by train or bus) to meet relatives/friends or hosting them. This book takes the reader on an enjoyable trip down the memory lane to the 1970’s and attempts to recreate the memorable summer holiday of a little girl with her family. Growing up in a cosmopolitan city (Madras), Anju visits her home town (Trivandrum) during her summer holidays, which leaves an everlasting impact on her innocent mind forever. It turns out to be a remarkable vacation of new experiences, little adventures and lovely discoveries for Anju through her cousins, family members and friends. She experiences a new way of life amidst nature’s bounty that becomes an unforgettable part of her growing up, creating lifetime bonds.

This report is part of a series of international reviews of national youth policies carried out by the Council of Europe in collaboration and consultation with government agencies and ministries responsible for the development and implementation of youth policy, as well as with non-governmental youth organisations. The reviews are carried out by an international team which outlines the strengths and challenges of the countries' youth policies in a constructive manner, drawing where appropriate upon broader international evidence and debate. The international review process was established to fulfil three distinct objectives: - to advise on national youth policy; - to identify components which might combine to form an approach to youth policy across Europe; - to contribute to a learning process in relation to the development and implementation of youth policy.
This book presents a Facebook study on members of the Cusp Generation, or those born before the “great digital divide” of 1995. This delineation allows for a discussion on the possible socio-cultural implications of Facebook use for people of all ages. Members of the Cusp Generation are in a unique position as “part digital natives” to easily acquire and use new media technologies, while being more critically aware of the personal, social, and cultural effects that may arise from them thanks to having some memory of the pre-digital era. Drawing on identity theories rooted in critical theory and cultural studies, the author shows that there are potential constrictions on people’s agency in their Facebook use caused by consumer discourse, Facebook’s hyperreal nature and structure, psychological predispositions, and the potential for avatar attachment. In raising concerns over the impacts of technology-based communication, this book explores how the medium of Facebook extends and exacerbates processes of offline social reproduction and discusses how the positive social and political aspects of Facebook can be enhanced. The findings contribute to academic discussions in the fields of cultural studies and Education and can be applied to the development of critical media literacy for curriculum and pedagogy.

All this will together lay a strong foundation at the primary level and lead to the holistic development of the learners at each level. Some of the key features of the series are: • Key concepts supported with visual activities, games and real-life examples • Carefully-graded and comprehensive exercises to facilitate true evaluation • Online support in the form of animated lessons, interactive exercises, topic-wise videos and E-books (For Teachers only) as per the requirement of the subject • Teachers Resource Book to facilitate teaching ENGLISH The content for English is a perfect blend of the best of both worlds—past and present. The selections are based on the learners’ interests, and, therefore, will not only easily arrest their attention but also facilitate longer retention. The graded exercises lay appropriate emphasis on learning the four basic language skills of Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. Grammar Section in each book offers simple and clear conceptual understanding. MATHEMATICS The Mathematical concepts have been dealt with in an interesting and comprehensive manner. This way even an average child will have no difficulty in grasping the fundamentals. The series follows a graded and spiral approach, keeping in mind the age and level of understanding of the learner. ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES NEP 2020 lays emphasis on promoting the spirit of analysis and questioning because it has been increasingly felt that children learn more through talking, observing and discussing with others. This approach has been adopted in EVS content. SCIENCE The content in this section emphasises meaningful learning of science for the overall development of learners. It focuses on helping children understand their natural environment and correlate science with their everyday experiences in an interesting and comprehensive manner.
