Foreword

It is with great pleasure that I present the July 2025 issue of Jyanavi, which brings together a wide range of articles from different fields of study. I am especially delighted to present this issue as it is the first issue we are publishing after being assigned an ISSN number.

The topics covered in this volume reflect the diversity of today’s world, where technology, culture, society, and the arts all come together in meaningful ways. Some articles explore how digital technology is changing our lives — whether it is through the use of online payments, the rise of artificial intelligence, or the role of digital tools in protecting rights. These studies help us understand how people from different backgrounds are using technology, and what challenges and opportunities this brings.

Other articles turn our attention to social and cultural issues that continue to shape our world. From the emotional impact of trauma and the struggles of invisible workers, to the effects of caste discrimination, these works offer powerful insights into everyday life in India. They make us think more deeply about justice, equality, and human dignity.

This issue also celebrates India’s rich artistic traditions. Thoughtful studies on classical dance forms such as Kuchipudi and Yakshagana show how art can connect history, performance, and storytelling. These contributions remind us of the beauty and depth of our cultural heritage.

The inclusion of a literary article in Telugu and a book review adds further richness to this volume, giving space to voices from regional literature and critical reading.

Overall, this issue presents thoughtful and engaging research across a wide range of subjects. I extend my sincere thanks to all the authors and reviewers for their valuable contributions. I especially thank Prof. Mrinal Chatterjee, Director of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication, Dhenkanal, Odisha, for graciously contributing a book review to this issue. I hope readers find the articles both insightful and meaningful. May this edition inspire further learning, reflection, and meaningful dialogue.
