| 1 | Exploring the Challenges of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion in Education in Bangladesh by Anamul Haque & Md. Shamsul Kabir | Inclusive education (IE) is an effective and popular global reform strategy that attempt to include all students in the mainstream schooling framework, acknowledging the rights of children with disability. Since Bangladesh achieved Millennium Development Goal (MDGs) in 2010, the country has been thriving to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by meeting all the development junctures proposed by the United Nations (UN). Ensuring a quality education for all citizens remains one of the critical goals. Bangladesh is also a signatory of major international declarations of inclusive education and promises to educate all citizens as the constitution holds the fundamental right to education. However, equality, diversity, and inclusion are crucial issues indicated in several studies that sought to identify the barriers and challenges to implementation in education. Besides, educating students with disabilities in mainstream schools is a moderately fresh concept within the education framework in Bangladesh. However, Bangladesh has an excellent opportunity to serve all students along with children with disability by addressing the challenges and barriers. This paper attempts to identify the gaps and challenges in the policies and implementation to ensure equality, diversity, and inclusion in education in Bangladesh. The data has been collected from published peer-reviewed journals, articles, and websites. The paper finds, that the divide and digital poverty create barriers to implementing inclusive education. It also finds gender disparity in teaching and salary-based discrimination. In addition, male teachers are less encouraged to get involved in primary/early age education, and teachers are less valued in remote/rural areas than in urban areas. The paper also advocates changing our mindset toward gender, and the teaching framework can change the scenario. | 05-May-2022 | 23-May-2022/ 30-May-2022 |

| 2 | A Comparative study on the use of Digital Documentation in HMCT colleges of Pune by Sumeet Dua & Manoj Suryawanshi | This paper is aimed at creating awareness about the advantages of utilizing Automate/Digital Documentation Vs Non- Automated/ Traditional Paper Documentation in academics of the hotel management students. The automated/Digital has multiple uses within the HMCT Colleges in Pune; even before a student or parent has visited the institution. Digitization would mean the parents and potential students can take a 360 Degree view of the college, its facilities, and infrastructure and also be able to research the panel of faculty. Also, potential students would be able to avail of all relevant information about courses; more so, all relevant documentation for online applications could be uploaded and authenticated digitally for admissions without having to visit the institution, saving valuable time and money. Students/ parents could receive notices, alerts, and circulars about their timetables, attendance, exam notification, and hall tickets digitally. The academic department would also be able to upload the relevant curriculum which would aid the faculty and students in updating the reference books and notes and any assignments needed. Teaching and non-teaching staff would have individualized access to information to modify or view data with each log-in accessed by anyone would be recorded under their ID with date and time stamp to avoid misuse of data or any changes within. The data could make systems and procedures better but also save time, funds, and make processes swift. The study concludes the perception of the students of HMCT Colleges. | 30-April-2022 | 25-May-2022/ 31-May-2022 |

| 5 | Antimicrobial Activity and Phytochemical Evaluation of Grewia Abutilifolia’s Leaves Extracts by Dolly Rani , G.T. Kulkarni , Nitin Rai and Harsha Kharkwal | Grewia abutilifolia is a threatened medicinal plant having immense unexplored therapeutic potential. The aspiration of this study was to establish the antimicrobial and phytochemical constitution of this natural product in order to perpetuate its unexplored potential. Extraction was carried out such as water, methanol, n-Hexane, and Ethyl Acetate. The antimicrobial activities of different extracts were assessed by the Disk diffusion method against four bacterial and two fungal strains. All the extracts have demonstrated an equivalent effect against four bacterial strains at different concentrations. The aqueous extract was found to be more effective against E. coli while extract of ethyl Acetate exhibited almost equal activity against all four bacterial strains. N-hexane’s extract displayed more activity against by cold maceration and Hot percolation (Soxhlet apparatus) process using various solvents B. Subtilis, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli. Almost similar antimicrobial activities pattern was shown by cold macerated extracts.The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the plant extracts ranged from 50 to 250 μg/ml. Some extracts exhibited anti-microbial potency comparable commercially antimicrobial agents. All these observations thus contribute to a strengthening of the utilization of plants in the cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical industries. | 01-May-2022 | 28-May-2022/ 31-May-2022 |
