    The Sustainability of Tribal Women in Jharkhand: A Philosophical and Cultural Investigation
    (University of North Bengal, 2025) Pandey, Binay Kumar
    This study explores the contributions of Santali women to sustainable development, focusing on philosophical orientation of their culture and traditional insight. Conducted in the Dhanbad and Dumka districts, the research involved 110 women respondents. Through ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth interviews, the study documents sustainable farming techniques, water management skills, medicinal practices, and social activities. The findings highlight the significant role of Santali women in promoting environmental stewardship, community resilience, and cultural preservation. This paper brings out struggles in terms of resource constraint, educational barriers, and insufficient government support. The analysis, using SPSS, includes descriptive statistics, regression analysis, ANOVA, and multidimensional scaling, providing a thorough comprehension of the respondents' contributions. The study concludes by emphasizing the significance of inculcating primitive insight into sustainable development frameworks and recommends further research to explore specific mechanisms for policy integration, comparative studies with other indigenous societies, and the consequence of global environmental changes on traditional practices.

    Jute and Sustainable Development- A Study of Its Socio- Economic and Environmental Prospects
    (University of North Bengal, 2020-09) Chakraborty, Ruchita
    Jute is a natural plant fibre that has been traditionally used as a packaging textile, but over the past decades, it has been rapidly replaced with synthetic substitutes. However, in the wake of the global consciousness regarding environmental crisis and sustainable development, the rejuvenation of the industry seems to answer a number of calls. On one hand, its usage in the packaging industry can reduce plastic wastes considerably. Again, in the backdrop of the environmental international instruments in recent years, jute can be a viable alternative to achieve the goals towards maintaining ecological balance. On the other hand, the industry being a source of income for more than 40 lakh families, its revival is expected to benefit the nation socio-economically as well. In this context this paper explores the usage of the fibre as an environmental friendly alternative to various widely used synthetic commodities. It also locates the different environmental standards set by the world community that can be achieved with its increased usage. Further, in the context of the two important recent instruments- the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Pact, this paper examines the various dimensions that the golden fibre can effectively answer.
