Abstract: The Tai people belong to the Thai-Sino branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family. They are scattered from Assam to Yunnan in a vast area of India and China. There are six communities in Assam in the northeastern part of India who speak different forms of Tai language. They are—Tai Ahom, Tai Khamti, Tai Aiton, Tai Khamyang, Tai Phake and Tai Turung. Though the origins of these six groups are derived from the same root, they all have uniqueness in their language, culture, customs and social norms. This research paper seeks to study the folk culture of the Tai Phakes. The population of this ethnic group in Assam is only two thousand. The globalisation and modernisation posed many serious threats to the language, society and culture of the Tai Phakes. At such juncture, it is need of the hour to study various aspects associated with the Tai Phake community. This paper titled "Folk festivals of the Tai Phake tribe in Assam‟ will discuss the folk festivals, language, songs, dance, beliefs, marriage, food and other aspects associated with the Tai Phake people living in Assam.

Abstract: In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, many tourist destinations have decreased in visitors, as well as mangrove forest tourist sites in Wonorejo. The surrounding community, who usually gets economic benefits from tourist visits at these tourist sites, has decreased their income and business. However, forest conservation must still involve community participation so as not to cause environmental damage in the tourism environment. The purpose of this study is to examine how public participation in the midst of this pandemic continues. The method used in this study is a qualitative research method by applying the qualitative data analysis model from Miles & Hubermas (2014), to obtain an appropriate analysis of the research conducted. The results showed that community participation was......

Abstract: Two primary drivers have provided a prolonged growth of the world economy. They are [1] development of the underdeveloped countries, and [2] the impact of science and technology. The free market economy facilitated this growth. It has been postulated that in the next 15-20 years these two drivers of the economy will run out of steam and the world economic growth will be next to zero or very minimal. The hypothesis postulates that the effect on the world economy will be slow but not easily reversible. The author advocates the phrase MEGA-Economics to emphasize: "study of the global economy and its dynamics over a period of a century or longer time frame". The author also discusses other socio-political factors that are likely to make this challenge even more formidable. Finally, the author suggests that his qualitative scenario should further be analyzed quantitatively so that we are well prepared with future challenges in the world economy......

Abstract: While creating new structures, implementing master plans, adapting new techniques, we tend to ignore the fact that times may change but the earth shall remain as constant as it has been since ages. Planning in one form or other has become necessary for the development of a country or society and India is no exception in this regard and hence current economic and social conditions in our country necessitate development in a planned manner. There is a dire need to evaluate whether these dynamic changes are really needed whether they are being implemented by being mindful of the social, cultural, economical and environmental perspectives. This paper evaluates the impact of ring roads in the infrastructural development of regions, through the case of Jaipur Ring Road Project. The study highlights the social and environmental impact of the project shall have upon the region and the innovative......
