    Education as an Instrument of Social Transformation: Aspects and Prospects
    (University of North Bengal, 2020-03) Roy, Basudeb
    Education is the foundation of every society to grow in a healthy manner. Every civilized society has accepted the phenomenon of education, it is the duty of the society itself to nourish it in a positive way. Social change on the other hand is a dynamic process in which education is just an aspect. Education moulds the society by uplifting individuals and thus comes the change, a prosperous change. In India, fromIshwar Chandra Vidyasagar, Ramakrishna Paramhansa, to Dr.SarvepalliRadhakrishnan, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and all other great Indian educationists have left the legacy of social transformation through quality education. Right to Free and Compulsory Education is a Fundamental Right and the State is obliged to secure it anyway. Besides this, educational cultures play an important role across the globe whether it’s social, economic, political, traditional, cultural, demographical, or religious. Government and Non-Government Organizations also have the social responsibility to provide financial aids to the institutions to ease the access for the financially weak sections of the society. Furthermore, the Judiciary should act as the watchdog to mould education in an exemplary shape and most importantly awareness of the people is needed to acquire proper education. Education, whether it’s formal, informal, legal or of any other kinds, is the only way to transmit knowledge, skills, values, norms, mores or any particular habit from generation to generation in a community or society.

    Constitution and Social Change
    (University of North Bengal, 2020-03) Biswas, Sanchari
    The paper deals with the dominance of egalitarianism skilfully maintained by our Constitution of India in its decorous functioning of Parliament, Executive and Judiciary. However, the study reveals as to how arduous the thought of achieving social improvements is, in a country where barbaric crimes are indispensable. The paper contains elaborate discussions on few among the multitudinous achieved social orders which involve breaking down of hierarchies and transcending everyday consciousness by the equalization of equals under Article 14,15,16 of the Constitution, importance of faith being antithetical to orthodoxy established through the Sabarimala verdict, historical dominance of the systematic reduction of gender biasness when women chose their right to vote, application of exemplary legislations like “Child Labour Prohibition and Regulation Act 1986, Factories Act, 1948” etc, introduction of 3-tier government system in being autonomous in its sphere of functioning as local self governments in rural and urban areas, instances of cleansing obscenity through visible activity on the Unnao Rape Case, abolishing triple talaq, decrimininalizing Section 377 IPC, revolutionizing the Judicial system by introduction of PIL .The study basically suggests the grandeur in the criteria of amicable settlement as social change through Constitution congealing as a single oeuvre with the three wings of the Government.
