Building on Pratham’s ‘Learning to Read’ methodology interventions to do away with the disconnect between schooling and basic learning, the Hybrid Learning initiative encourages discovery based learning of children in grades 5 through 8. This intervention focuses on digitally-aided group based ‘Learning to Learn’ activities in partnership with 400 local communities in three Indian states, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. This chapter outlines the participatory nature of the experiment with 26,000 child participants. Following the Participatory Action Research (PAR) philosophy, the flexible design of the program facilitates the intimate interaction between researchers and children who are invested in the decision making process. The Hybrid Learning experiment enquires into scalable solutions to overcome two primary barriers of quality learning across rural parts of India—poor access to materials and the absence of a learner-centric learning environment.

They aim to promote virtual tourism, and the authors present six examples of millennial vloggers. Considering tighter government regulations relating to travel, vloggers have developed novel ways of content creation through “travel writing.”Design/methodology/approachThe authors used narrative analysis to review their sample of vlogs and how specific changes in each vlogging stage are motivated by viewer expectancy.FindingsMillennial vlogger couples are using the YouTube platform to meet the demand for virtual tourism.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides new ways of looking at travel vlogging as an occupation and means of entertainment. However, the current dynamic situation may well lead to further challenges for this kind of research.Practical implicationsThe implications relate to the provision of...

The problems seem to be coming back to us again and again through Small-pox, Tuberculosis, Plague, Influenza, HIV/AIDS, Ebola, and now COVID-19. The 2003 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) pandemic and the Avian Influenza resulted in establishment of WHO protocols and awareness. However, as we consider the people at the Bottom of the Pyramid in developing and poor countries, the problem of survival of ethnic groups and their languages appear to be more acute. We know that 96% of India’s mother-tongues are spoken by only 4% of the population. But as India houses 3592 numerically weak mother tongues (spoken by 705 tribes or ethnic groups and 1284 castes scattered all over our rural landscape), with high degree of poverty combined with social hierarchies based on caste, religion and ethnicity, the shape of our population pyramid is relatively flat and bulging at the bottom making t...

These instances in 'Transculturation' become interesting as they give rise to further theoretical debates. For example, one could raise another question as to whether the 'Feminist Film Theories' of the West could be applicable in the context of a different culture where textual translations happen from the verbal to the visual forms. For instance, one could test if the propositions espoused by the likes of Laura Mulvey (1975), Teresa de Lauretis (1987), and Kaja Silverman (1988) as under a feminist approach would be applicable while studying the trajectory of Indian movies. Intercultural translations being perhaps most prevalent and readily evident in the commercial films today, have numerous examples in Bollywood movies, art-house parallel movies, and the lowbudget new Indian movies. The other category presents a blend of the two polarities, borrowing features of commercial and art-house films, yet, not strictly confined to either. The only thing common among them is making a text fit into another cultural context or any other culture. The facilitation of viewing a film text in any or many languages (on multiple platforms) has thrown up a new kind of challenge to those engaged in the intersemiotic transfer. We argue here that a discourse on intersemiotic translation has much to draw from feminist film theories. Translating a critical approach that originates in one culture and to let it gain entry into another culture is a challenge in praxis. In the process, we offer a few observations on how the degrading standards of commercial

And yet, very little is known about the background to this text and its composition history. In a new publication in English titled 'The Original Gitanjali' (2013/2016; Anima Viva Multilingue, Andorra), perhaps the first time ever, scholar-poet, Udaya Narayana Singh, offers refreshingly a new reading of two sets of Gitanjali poems by Rabindranath Tagore, the two volumes produced at two different times in the writer’s career. This was the story of the translation of the first, the Bengali Gitanjali (August 1910, Calcutta) enjoyed wide circulation with 86 songs and 71 lyrical poems — 157 texts in all. This text remained out of focus so far
