The 'One Nation One Election' (ONOE) proposal aims to restore simultaneous elections for the Lok Sabha and all state legislative assemblies in India, a practice that prevailed from 1951–52 until its disruption in the late 1960s due to premature dissolutions. Its core objectives include reducing exorbitant electoral expenditures, minimizing governance disruptions from frequent imposition of the Model Code of Conduct, enhancing policy continuity, and potentially boosting voter turnout through consolidated democratic exercises. Key constitutional mechanisms proposed in the Constitution (129th Amendment) Bill, 2024, and related legislation involve amendments to Articles 83 and 172 (governing the duration of Parliament and state legislatures), insertion of new provisions such as Article 82A (establishing an 'appointed date' for synchronized polls post-general election) and Article 324A (empowering the Election Commission to manage implementation, including contingencies for mid-term dissolutions or hung assemblies), alongside adjustments for union territories and phased alignment of local body elections. As of January 2026, the bills remain under detailed examination by the Joint Parliamentary Committee, whose tenure was extended in December 2025 amid ongoing consultations with stakeholders, reflecting continued parliamentary deliberation without final enactment. This article addresses the central research question: To what extent does the ONOE proposal reconcile administrative efficiency with the preservation of India's quasi-federal structure and vibrant democratic process? The fundamental tension lies in the promised gains—significant cost savings, reduced electoral fatigue, and sustained developmental focus—versus substantial risks to quasi-federalism (potential centralization and erosion of state autonomy) and electoral accountability (nationalization of regional issues, challenges in handling premature dissolutions, and implications for anti-defection mechanisms). While the ONOE proposal presents compelling administrative and economic efficiencies, it poses profound challenges to India's quasi-federal framework and the pluralism of its democratic process, requiring robust constitutional safeguards to avoid violating the basic structure doctrine.

Children with intellectual disabilities, historically marginalized in socio-cultural spaces, often face significant challenges in education, communication, and social participation.

Floating solar photovoltaic (FPV) systems have emerged as an innovative solution to address the limitations of conventional land-based solar installations while improving energy efficiency. An important problem of photovoltaic systems is the increase in panel temperature, which reduces electrical efficiency and power output. Water-based cooling assists the thermal management and operation of floating solar PV systems: a study Experimental and analytical methods are used to determine temperature differences, power generation, and efficiency in FPV systems using water-cooling models. Use of water to circulate across the rear surface of photovoltaic modules can help dissipate excess heat and keep operating temperatures lower. The cooled and non-cooled systems are compared through mathematical analysis and performance assessment.

Ayurveda presents a sophisticated classification of therapeutic actions (Karma) based on functional pharmacodynamics rather than chemical composition alone. Digestive and eliminative therapies occupy a central position in this framework due to the primacy of Agni (digestive fire) and the pathological role of Āma (metabolic toxins). Classical texts describe graded categories of digestive stimulation, metabolic correction, doṣa pacification, and purificatory elimination. This review synthesizes eight major therapeutic classifications—Dīpana, Pācana, Saṃśamana, Saṃśodhana, Anulomana, Sraṃsana, Bhedana, and Rechana—into a unified academic discussion.

This paper critically examines the extent to which the mission has advanced sustainability, inclusivity, and infrastructure development in the Kolkata context.

Parental consciousness plays a foundational role in human development because the family is the child’s first learning space and parents are the first interpreters of education, culture, discipline, and social life. In this paper, parental consciousness is understood as the degree to which parents are aware of, committed to, and intentionally engaged in their children’s educational, cultural, moral, emotional, and social development. The study argues that human development is strengthened when parents do not treat education as school attendance alone, but as a broader process of value formation, cultural transmission, reflective dialogue, emotional security, and social responsibility. Global evidence on early childhood development and parenting support consistently shows that responsive caregiving, early learning, and supportive family environments shape long-term developmental outcomes, while school-family partnership research shows that parental engagement is positively associated with academic, motivational, and socio-emotional adjustment.

This study examines how bilingualism modulates the neural integration of mind, language, and literary imagination during English narrative processing. Although bilingual experience is known to reshape cognitive control and language networks, its specific influence on imaginative engagement with literary texts remains largely unexplored, particularly in multilingual settings where English interacts with regional languages such as Telugu. The present research addresses this gap by comparing early and late Telugu-English bilinguals.
