These changes have been influenced by factors such as globalization, social shifts and the exploration of individual freedom and identity. The \"new wave\" of Assamese literature that emerged in the 1970s marked a significant turning point. This movement emphasized the individual's experiences, personal freedom and the search for identity. Writers began to delve into the complexities of human psychology, introspection, and self-discovery. The short stories became more introspective, exploring the inner workings of characters' minds and their emotional journeys. Furthermore, the impact of globalization introduced new forms and styles of writing to Assamese literature. This paper attempts to study how Assamese authors began experimenting with innovative structures and techniques. They embraced the stream of consciousness technique, non-linear narratives, social realism and elements of magical realism. This experimentation added diversity and dynamism to the Assamese literary tradition, allowing for more creative and imaginative storytelling.","PeriodicalId":14964,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"147 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136240059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been observed that women exhibit a lower propensity to invest in high-risk financial assets, which can be attributed to their relatively slower accumulation of wealth over an extended period of time. It aims to understand how financial literacy can enhance women's economic empowerment and independence. The research delves into the imperative need for financial literacy among women in the two-centuries-old Etikoppaka handloom industry. It explores their socio-economic transition within the internationally acclaimed toy industry of Etikoppaka in India. The study focuses on the Etikoppaka handloom industry, comprising two categories of women: formal employees earning wages and informal workers supporting their husbands without monetary compensation. An exploratory research design was applied to arrive at the inferences. Data is collected from 40 females actively engaged in the toy industry, supplemented by two focus group discussions with stakeholders. The data was analyzed using two financial models, i.e., Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2011 (OECD) basic principles of money. Financial literacy is crucial for women's empowerment in the Etikoppaka handloom industry. Formal sector women have better understanding of financial concepts than informal sector women. Customized programs that consider local culture and involvement of civil society organizations and grassroots initiatives are necessary for positive economic outcomes. This study's outcomes have significant implications for policymakers, industry leaders, and civil society organizations working towards women's economic development in the handloom industry.","PeriodicalId":14964,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136239861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the landscape of higher education undergoes rapid transformations, the importance of nurturing a skilled and adaptable workforce within academic institutions becomes increasingly vital. The study delves into the strategies, challenges, and outcomes of HRD initiatives undertaken by a prominent HEI, providing valuable insights into optimizing human capital development in academia. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with key stakeholders, such as faculty members, administrators, and HR personnel, alongside quantitative data from surveys and performance metrics. Through this comprehensive methodological design, the study analyzes the alignment of HRD policies with the institution's strategic objectives, identifying the factors that influence successful HRD implementation. Findings from the case study shed light on the significance of faculty development programs, talent retention strategies, and the role of leadership in fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth within the HEI. Additionally, the research uncovers the impact of HRD on faculty job satisfaction, professional development, and overall institutional performance. The case study reveals challenges encountered during the HRD process, such as financial constraints, resistance to change, and the need for ongoing evaluation and adaptation of HRD initiatives. Addressing these challenges is crucial for the successful implementation of HRD practices that ensure sustainable institutional success. This article contributes to the growing body of knowledge on HRD in the context of higher education. It offers practical implications for HEIs seeking to enhance their HRD frameworks, providing evidence-based guidance to academic leaders, policymakers, and HR professionals in their pursuit of fostering a skilled and engaged workforce in higher education institutions.

It goes beyond simply putting in effort and includes the ability to persist and maintain determination in the face of challenges and setbacks. Grit involves a combination of effort, patience, and resilience. It's about staying committed and focused on your objectives, even when things get tough. Gritty individuals are not easily discouraged by obstacles or failures; instead, they see them as opportunities for growth and learning. Having grit can be beneficial in various aspects of life, whether it's personal goals, academic pursuits, professional endeavors, or even relationships. People with high levels of grit are more likely to stay motivated and continue striving for their goals, even when progress seems slow or when faced with adversity. It's important to note that grit is not about blindly persisting without adaptability or recognizing when it's necessary to change course. It's about finding the balance between perseverance and flexibility, knowing when to adjust strategies or approaches while still maintaining a steadfast commitment to the overall objective. Developing and nurturing grit can contribute to greater resilience, achievement, and personal growth. It allows individuals to navigate challenges and setbacks with a determined mindset, increasing their likelihood of success in the long run.","PeriodicalId":14964,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136240061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
