Child bearing and nursing place mothers in a nutritionally vulnerable position. The period of pregnancy is marked by high accumulation of nutrients in the form of maternal and foetal tissue growth. During lactation there is a constant loss of nutrients in the breast milk, the essential composition of which does not change much with the imposition of nutritional stress.

Rapid Industrialisation, ready availability of breast milk substitutes, increase in proportion of women working in non-traditional occupations outside home and acceptance of bottle feeding as symbol of sophistication have resulted in erosion in breast-feeding practices during the first half of the present century. Several studies have demonstrated that breast milk composition is unique and best suited for the growing infants.- Assessment of Nutrition Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Mothers

The unfortunate state of nutrition in countries like India is attributed to several factors. Poverty and low purchasing power are no doubt major factors contributing to malnutritio. Lack of awareness regarding nutritional needs and paucity of information also aggravate the problem.- Potential of Using Tutored Videotape Instruction Mode for Higher Education in India: An Experiment

Ever since the advent of the electronic era, constant efforts have been made to harness the power of media in the service of education. Every now and again, media is put on trial. There seems to be no doubt that media has a definite role in education at all levels and the search for an effective tool or methodology is forever on, particularly in countries in development like India.- Sustaining Motivation of Engineering Students in India by Managing their Academic & Affective Needs

In India, nearly 1.5 million students enrol in engineering programs in around 4000 colleges. These students come from very diverse demographic, sociocultural and economic backgrounds. Many of them are unable to successfully transition from school to the very demanding environment of engineering education because of poor levels of academic and emotional preparedness. They become demotivated and disengaged which in turn, negatively impacts their academic performance. The objective of this study is to investigate the reasons for demotivation and recommend possible solutions. The study was conducted in three phases using multiple specially designed instruments. In the first phase, Instrument 1 was administered to 349 students to establish the diversity in engineering student population. Then, 79 students with low motivation and academic performance were identified using Instrument II. Personal interviews were conducted using Instrument III with the identified low-performing subjects to get an insight into their learning and emotional needs. Over an entire semester, well-planned interventions were provided to address the identified learning and emotional needs. At the end of the semester, academic performance of the 79 subjects was re-recorded. Due to sudden lockdown and transition to online instruction in the middle of the semester (because of COVID-19), separate data were collected for pre and post lock down periods. Results obtained showed remarkable progress in both pre and post lockdown periods. The paper concludes with a set of concrete recommendations for engineering institutions and faculty for effectively managing student motivation, building confidence and getting them ready for the highly competitive job market.Keywords

Two well-recognized constraints faced by engineering educators in India are sustaining student engagement and completing the prescribed course work within the semester. This paper explores the potential of using a new concept - Peer-supported.Independent Study (PSIS) developed by the author to address both these constraints.
The concept of PSIS is very different from the traditional independent study as it remains an integral part of the regular course delivery and assessment. Based on a solid theoretical framework of social constructivist theory and peer-instruction theory, PSIS requires the instructor to identify sections of the regular coursework that students can manage by themselves. The instructor then creates tasks from the identified course content that are completed independently by peer groups of 3 to 5 students. The entire PSIS activity is conducted online which helps to save class sessions. The topics identified for PSIS are included in the regular summative assessment. A survey of over 300 instructors across disciplines confirmed that 15% to 18% of the course content regularly taught in classes can be comfortably managed by students themselves and is hence suitable for PSIS.
This study was initiated with 106 engineering educators across disciplines from 12 engineering institutions in India though only 63 completed the experiment. A preparatory workshop was conducted to train the instructors for designing and implementing PSIS. Two specially designed instruments were used to collect feedback from 63 instructors and 2865 students (from 63 classes). Results showed increased student engagement at all three - cognitive, behavioral & emotional, levels. 83% instructors reported improvement in class attendance and participation while 58.6% instructors confirmed having saved class time. 92% of participating students found PSIS interesting and rewarding. The study brought out the need for developing more structured guidelines for i) designing PSIS tasks and ii) using the saved time more efficiently.
