Title: Educational Interest Inventory: Construction and Standardization
Abstract :
Teachers need psychological instruments to be able to measure extent of students’ educational interests. The present research paper reports efforts related to construction and standardization of an educational interest inventory for measuring students’
interests in their academic subjects. The try-out form had 21 situations and each situation had a list of ten tasks. Students were asked to indicate the intensity of their preference for each given activity/task related to each situation by choosing one of the
five responses namely- ‘very less, less, average, much and very much’ Scoring was done by assigning a score of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 for ‘very less, less, normal, much and very much’ responses. Scores on all items related to an area of interest were added together to get
ten interest scores. Item analysis was done by calculating Chi-squares and item-total correlations for each item. Final form of the inventory has 15 situations and the 97 items included under them. Test-retest reliability were computed for different dimensions of
interest. They were .89 for physical science, 88 for biological science, .98 for commerce, .84 for literary, .78 for social service, .74 for office management, .89 for mathematics, .81 for religious, .88 for Music, and .78 for home science. Face validity was established.

Title: Effectiveness and Barriers of Skill Development Programs for Youth in India: A Study with Reference to Aspirational Districts Balrampur and Siddhartha Nagar of Uttar Pradesh
Abstract :

India’s economic transformation is intricately tied to its ability to skill and employ its young population. The National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) and other government led initiatives under the Skill India Mission aim to enhance employability and productivity by providing vocational training to youth, particularly women and marginalized groups. This paper examines two key aspects: (1) the effectiveness of these skill development programs in enabling employment among young people and (2) the barriers that prevent individuals from participating in such programs. Drawing upon secondary data, government reports, and field-based insights from Uttar Pradesh’s aspirational districts Siddharthnagar and Balrampur. This study highlights that while skill development initiatives have significantly improved employability prospects, structural and socio-economic barriers such as limited accessibility, gender norms, inadequate infrastructure, and weak linkages with industries continue to impede equitable participation. The paper concludes with suggestions to enhance inclusivity and effectiveness in the implementation of India’s skill development mission.

Title: Language Acquisition and Relevant Theories: Through the Lens of NEP-2020
Abstract :

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 marks a transformative shift in Indian education, transitioning from rote learning to a competency-based, multilingual framework. By grounding its strategies in established theories—such as Vygotsky’s “Social Interaction,” Krashen’s “Comprehensible Input,” and Cognitivism—the policy treats a child’s mother tongue as a vital pedagogical tool. While systemic challenges like resource shortages and the “English-only” social bias remain, the policy’s eclectic approach aims to minimize cognitive load and foster emotional safety. Ultimately, NEP-2020 seeks to build a culturally rooted yet globally competitive generation through inclusive, scientifically backed language acquisition.
