Representation of rural India in Indian English novels
The representation of rural India in Indian English novels occupies a significant position in the literary landscape, offering deep insights into the socio-economic, cultural, and psychological realities of village life. Indian English novelists have portrayed rural spaces as complex sites marked by poverty, caste hierarchies, gender oppression, agrarian struggles, superstition, and social transformation. Through realistic narratives and empathetic characterization, writers such as Mulk Raj Anand, R. K. Narayan, and Bhabani Bhattacharya have vividly depicted the hardships, resilience, and cultural richness of rural communities. Their novels explore the lived experiences of marginalized groups, including peasants, laborers, untouchables, and women, foregrounding issues of exploitation, social injustice, and economic deprivation. At the same time, contemporary writers extend this portrayal by examining the effects of modernization, migration, globalization, and environmental challenges on rural life. This study aims to critically analyze how Indian English novels represent rural India and how these literary depictions contribute to social awareness, cultural understanding, and national consciousness. By blending realism with social critique, Indian English fiction provides a powerful platform for voicing rural concerns and reimagining pathways toward social change and inclusive development.

Gender and power in modern feminist drama
Modern feminist drama offers a powerful critique of patriarchal structures by foregrounding the complex dynamics of gender and power. Through innovative dramatic techniques, feminist playwrights challenge traditional representations of women, exposing the systemic inequalities that govern social, political, and cultural life. This study examines how modern feminist drama interrogates dominant power relations, highlights women’s experiences of oppression and resistance, and redefines female identity and agency. By portraying women’s struggles against marginalization, domestic confinement, sexual exploitation, and institutionalized control, feminist drama becomes a site of ideological resistance and social transformation. The plays reveal the intricate intersections of gender, class, race, and sexuality, demonstrating how power operates across multiple social levels. Moreover, feminist dramatists reimagine women not as passive victims but as active agents capable of self-awareness, rebellion, and empowerment. Through character development, symbolic representation, and alternative narrative structures, feminist drama dismantles patriarchal norms and offers new possibilities for equality and justice. The study concludes that modern feminist drama significantly contributes to feminist discourse by redefining gender roles, questioning established power hierarchies, and promoting critical awareness of women’s rights and liberation.

Homological Methods in Non-Commutative Algebra
Homological methods play a central role in the structural analysis of non-commutative algebras by providing powerful invariants and categorical frameworks to investigate modules, extensions, and deformation phenomena. This paper examines the application of homological algebra techniques—including projective and injective resolutions, derived functors such as Ext and Tor, and homological dimensions—to the study of non-commutative rings and graded algebras. Particular emphasis is placed on derived categories, Hochschild (co)homology, and their relevance to representation theory and non-commutative geometry. The work further explores Artin–Schelter regularity, Koszul duality, and deformation theory as fundamental tools for understanding structural and geometric properties of non-commutative spaces. By synthesizing classical homological constructions with modern categorical approaches, the study highlights how homological invariants facilitate classification, equivalence detection, and the resolution of algebraic singularities in non-commutative settings.
Poverty Alleviation Programmes in India: An Economic Assessment
Poverty in India remains one of the most enduring socio-economic challenges, deeply entrenched in a complex interplay of historical, structural, and demographic factors. The legacy of colonial exploitation left behind skewed land ownership patterns, underdeveloped infrastructure, and widespread deprivation, which were further compounded by post- independence issues such as unequal resource distribution, agrarian distress, rapid population growth, and periodic economic shocks. For decades, large segments of the population— particularly in rural areas and among marginalized communities like Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and women—have grappled with income insecurity, limited access to education and healthcare, and vulnerability to climate and market fluctuations. Although India has recorded impressive economic growth since the liberalization reforms of the 1990s, translating aggregate gains into equitable poverty reduction has proven difficult, with millions continuing to face multidimensional deprivations beyond mere income shortfalls.

Coalition Politics and Policy Stability in India: An Institutional Assessment
Coalition governments have been a defining feature of Indian politics since the late 1980s. Conventional political discourse often associates coalition politics with instability, policy paralysis, and weak governance. This paper challenges that assumption by examining coalition politics in India through an institutional lens. Using an original Coalition Stability Index (CSI), the study evaluates legislative coordination, executive continuity, and policy outcomes during coalition governments between 1996 and 2011. The paper argues that coalition politics in India did not undermine governance; instead, it institutionalised negotiated policymaking and contributed to policy stability through consensus-driven mechanisms. The findings contribute to broader debates on democratic governance and coalition politics in plural societies.

Impact Assessment of Agri-Clinic and Agribusiness Centres Scheme in Delhi
The Agri-Clinic and Agribusiness Centres (AC&ABC) Scheme is a pivotal initiative launched by the Government of India in collaboration with NABARD to promote agripreneurship among agricultural graduates. The primary objectives of the scheme are to empower farmers, strengthen rural entrepreneurship, enhance agricultural extension services and facilitate effective technology transfer to improve agricultural productivity and profitability. The present study analyzes the performance of the AC&ABC scheme in Delhi based on year-wise, activity-wise and institute-wise indicators. The study relies on secondary data collected from annual reports, official websites such as MANAGE, NABARD and AC&ABC, along with research articles and journals. To examine the growth trend of trained candidates and establishment of agriventures, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) method has been employed. The findings reveal that Delhi shows moderate performance under the scheme in terms of trained candidates and agriventure establishment. The maximum number of agricultural graduates were trained during 2011–12, while the highest number of agriventures were established in 2012–13. Agri-clinic services, agribusiness ventures and dairy/poultry-related enterprises emerged as the most successful activities. Among the training institutes, the Indian Society of Professionals demonstrated efficient performance, with most successful agriventures established by candidates trained under this institution. However, the overall performance of Delhi under the AC&ABC scheme remains limited. The CAGR of trained candidates was positive only during specific periods, while the growth rate of agriventure establishment remained low and negative in several years. The major reasons for low performance include limited awareness, inadequate outreach and lack of motivation among agricultural graduates. Therefore, to ensure effective implementation of the AC&ABC scheme, the government should strengthen promotional activities, provide better financial support and focus more on urban and peri-urban regions of Delhi to encourage agripreneurship and sustainable agricultural development.
An Empirical Analysis of Banking Sector Development and Economic Growth in Punjab
This study examines the relationship between banking sector development and economic growth in Punjab. A well-developed banking sector plays a crucial role in mobilizing savings, facilitating investments, promoting financial inclusion and supporting industrial and agricultural activities. Punjab, being an agrarian and industrially significant state, depends heavily on an efficient financial system for sustainable economic development. The research analyzes key indicators of banking sector development such as credit growth, branch expansion, deposit mobilization and financial outreach and evaluates their impact on the state’s economic performance. Using secondary data collected from RBI reports, state economic surveys and government publications, the study employs quantitative techniques to identify trends and correlations between banking development and economic growth. The findings reveal that expansion of banking services has positively contributed to capital formation, employment generation and income growth in Punjab. The study highlights the need for policy initiatives to strengthen rural banking, digital finance and credit accessibility to enhance inclusive growth. The research concludes that a robust banking system is a key driver of sustainable economic development in Punjab.
Customer Perspectives on Cybersecurity in Cooperative Banks Manisha Ganpati Patil
Cooperative banks in semi-urban and rural areas are increasingly exposed to cyber threats as they adopt digital banking. This study analyzes 400 customer survey responses to assess cyber security preparedness in cooperative banks across Satara, Sangli, and Kolhapur districts. Descriptive statistics reveal that while a majority of customers frequently use digital services and are aware of basic security measures, significant gaps remain in perceived security and communication. For instance, only about half of customers consider internet banking secure, and 14% reported encountering phishing or fraud attempts. Inferential analysis indicates a strong link between user awareness and security outcomes: customers who rated themselves knowledgeable about cyber risks were far less likely to fall victim to fraud (χ²=12.6, p<0.001). A moderate positive correlation was found between cybersecurity knowledge and trust in the bank’s digital security (r=0.29, p<0.05). Regression analysis suggests that proactive customer education by banks is a significant predictor of customer trust (β≈0.41, p<0.01). Key themes identified include the need for enhanced training and awareness, improved technological safeguards, and robust incident response strategies. The paper concludes with recommendations for cooperative banks to strengthen cyber policies, deploy advanced security technologies, and foster a culture of security awareness to protect customers and build trust in digital banking services.
IMPACT OF SURROGATE ADVERTISING ON GEN-Z
Surrogate commercials are a distinct type of marketing in which the actual product, which may be outlawed or restricted by legislation, cannot be explicitly featured or its traits and features depicted as they are. Instead, surrogate adverts aim to pique the viewer's curiosity and communicate a message without openly exposing the product. It's crucial to emphasize that surrogacy marketing isn't always harmful or unlawful. Surrogate advertising has been effective in enticing clients, particularly the younger generation, who have been heavily enticed into purchasing and ingesting forbidden items. In this perspective, the current study examines the influence of surrogate advertising on generation Z. The current study found that the majority of Generation Z is aware of surrogate marketing and their influence on tobacco smoking. They believe that the appearance of well-known celebrities in such advertising enhances tobacco usage while also creating a good brand image for the corporations that produce and promote the products.
Transforming Higher Education through NEP 2020: An Analysis of Challenges and Opportunities
Sudesh Kumari An explicit and futuristic education policy is essential for any country, not only at the school level, but also at higher levels. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 represents a paradigmatic shift in India's higher education, and it is focused on five pillars: Accessibility, Equality, Affordability, Quality, and Accountability. These pillars collectively aim to create an ecosystem of continuous learning opportunities that transcends traditional educational boundaries. This paper examines the transformative impact of NEP 2020 on higher education. Key findings reveal that NEP 2020 envisions a strategic consolidation of India's higher education landscape into three distinct institutional categories, designed to significantly enhance the Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER). This restructuring has already begun yielding results. India's GER has witnessed a remarkable journey from 23.7% in 2014-15 to 28.4% in 2021-22, translating to an enrollment surge from 3.42 crore to 4.33 crore students.
ASSESSING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LEVEL OF AWARENESS OF FINTECH SERVICES AND GENDER
There is a constant and well-documented fintech gender difference, with males generally showing more awareness and uptake of financial services than women. This disparity persists across most countries and is affected by a variety of variables, including differing attitudes toward technology, security concerns, and socioeconomic inequality. The primary goal of this research is to determine the association between gender and fintech service awareness levels. This research revealed that the majority of consumers were aware of digital wallets, instant lending, payment processors, trading services, and online banking or e-banking FinTech services, and that these services are also the most popular among them. FinTech has acquired great traction in both the scientific and technological communities, as well as altered the financial industry, owing to its broad use of innovative technologies and financial sector development. As a result, the traditional financial system has been challenged by the emergence of new technologies in the FinTech space, forcing conventional institutions to simplify their approach to new model solutions, stabilize the market, maintain customer trust, and establish new institutions and start-ups.

SWAMI DAYANAND VERSUS UNTOUCHABILITY: AN EVALUATION OF HIS REFORMATORY IDEAS
Swami Dayanand Saraswati, the founder of the Arya Samaj, was a pivotal figure in the socio-religious reform movements of 19th-century India. He ardently opposed the practice of untouchability, advocating for social equality and the upliftment of marginalized communities. Dayanand’s reformatory ideas were rooted in his interpretation of Vedic texts, which he believed emphasized the inherent dignity of all human beings. Dayanand's opposition to untouchability stemmed from his belief that all people are descendants of the same divine source. He argued that caste distinctions, particularly those that enforced untouchability, were not supported by the Vedas. In his view, the rigid caste system was a social construct that deviated from the true teachings of Hinduism. He asserted that every individual, regardless of their birth or societal status, possesses an inherent right to dignity and respect. Dayanand's doctrine insisted that adherence to Vedic principles would lead to the abolition of social inequalities, including the banishment of untouchability.

It was discovered that the parallel and serial mediation effects of the identified components are extremely important in the implementation of hybrid workplace. Certain constructs, such as Work-Life Balance, have a partial mediation influence and might be the subject of future research. The themes that emerged from the conversations emphasized the necessity of the supporting HR practices enabled by a hybrid workplace. Subjective expectations are inherent in the employee-employer relationship, and companies have a significant impact on influencing results of this relationship.
Tracing the Evolution of Indian Detective Fiction
Detective fiction is one of the genres that are deeply rooted in the literary tradition and presents a fascinating plot of evolution at the continental and cultural levels. In this paper, the historical background of Indian detective fiction is examined and traced up to the beginning of the 20th century, developing through various stages. Since the early works of Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay all the way to the modern dynamics influenced by the world, the development of the genre is studied in the context of the changes in the society, the evolution of the culture and the active nature of the change of the literature. The paper explores the multi-voicing of the story, the regionalism, the technological assimilation and how digital platforms have influenced the Indian detective fiction. Moreover, it also develops on the interaction of the British and Indian detective fiction and finds a curious crosspollination of cultural exchange, adaptation and evolution. Another important point of the narrative is that the female writers made tremendous contributions to the genre, offering new insights and breaking the traditions. In the process of passing through time, the interwoven history of British and Indian detective fiction stands out as an ode to the abundance of storytelling around the world.
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the World Politics
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) occupies a central position in world politics, symbolizing the evolution of regionalism in international relations. Formed in 1949, NATO emerged as a collective defense alliance among Western nations to counter the growing influence of the Soviet Union (U.S.S.R.) during the Cold War era. It represents a strategic blend of military cooperation, political unity, and collective security aimed at preserving peace and stability across the North Atlantic region. The organization reflects how regional alliances transcend mere geography, functioning instead on shared political, economic, and ideological interests. The origins of NATO are deeply rooted in the bipolar world order that emerged after World War II, marked by the U.S.A.–U.S.S.R. rivalry, the nuclear arms race, and the space race. NATO’s role was not limited to military defense; it also became an instrument of Western diplomacy, deterrence, and crisis management, promoting democratic values and ensuring collective defense under Article 5 of the Washington Treaty. Over time, NATO has adapted to changing geopolitical circumstances—expanding its membership, redefining its missions, and engaging in peacekeeping operations, counterterrorism, and cyber defense.

"Socioeconomic disparities and their influence on the development of Level I vs. Level II abilities”
Socioeconomic disparities significantly influence the development of cognitive abilities, particularly distinguishing between Level I (rote learning and memory) and Level II (reasoning, abstraction, and problem-solving) abilities. Research indicates that children from lower socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds tend to perform comparably on Level I tasks but show marked deficits in Level II abilities. These disparities stem from unequal access to enriched environments, quality education, and cognitive stimulation. The interaction between SES and cognitive development suggests that Level II abilities are more sensitive to environmental factors, highlighting the need for targeted educational interventions and policy reforms to bridge the cognitive gap across socioeconomic strata.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION AND PERFORMANCE ANXIETY AMONG TEAM AND INDIVIDUAL SPORTS PLAYERS IN UNIVERSITIES
The present research investigates the relationship between achievement motivation and performance anxiety among university-level team and individual sports players. Sports performance depends not only on physical ability but also on psychological attributes such as motivation and anxiety regulation. The study aimed to explore how these psychological constructs vary across sport types and genders and to identify their interrelationship. A sample of 200 university players (100 team players and 100 individual players) was selected from affiliated colleges of Savitribai Phule Pune University. Standardized scales measuring achievement motivation and performance anxiety were administered. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and Pearson correlation were used for analysis. The results revealed that individual sports players exhibited significantly higher achievement motivation but also experienced higher levels of performance anxiety compared to team players. A moderate negative correlation was found between achievement motivation and performance anxiety, indicating that highly motivated athletes tend to manage anxiety better. Gender differences were minimal, though male athletes scored slightly higher in achievement motivation, while female athletes reported marginally higher anxiety. The findings suggest that sport type significantly influences the psychological profiles of athletes. Coaches and sports psychologists can utilize these insights to design mental training programs that enhance motivation while managing competitive stress. The study contributes to sports psychology by emphasizing the dynamic relationship between motivation and anxiety as determinants of athletic performance.

Role of Mass Media In Promoting Health Awareness Campaigns
This study explores the pivotal role of mass media in promoting health awareness campaigns and influencing public health behavior across global and national contexts before 2018. Utilizing a mixed-method research approach, the analysis integrates quantitative data from large-scale health campaigns and qualitative insights from existing literature. Findings reveal that multi-channel communication strategies—combining television, radio, print, and community media—significantly enhance awareness levels and foster behavioral change. Campaigns such as India’s Pulse Polio and the United States’ Truth Initiative demonstrated how consistent, credible, and emotionally persuasive messages can mobilize communities toward preventive action. Qualitative themes including message credibility, cultural adaptation, and repetition emerged as core determinants of effectiveness. The study concludes that health communication through mass media not only informs but also empowers individuals to make informed health decisions, contributing to sustainable improvements in public well-being. By bridging the gap between policymakers and the public, mass media remains an indispensable tool for achieving equitable health literacy and long-term societal health transformation.
Search for Identity in N. Scott Momaday’s House Made of Dawn and Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony
From a young age, Momaday was deeply immersed in the Kiowa culture of his paternal lineage. Momaday's writing possesses a poetic quality mostly due to his background as a poet and storyteller. House Made of Dawn achieved immediate acclaim, winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1969, a year post-publication, which facilitated the emergence of numerous Native authors, nearly all of whom attribute their success to Momaday, including James Welch, Leslie Marmon Silko, Gerald Vizenor, Louise Erdrich, and Sherman Alexie. Silko, akin to Louise Erdrich, explores the issue of hybrid identity in her writings, particularly focussing on the sensation of being “neither white nor entirely traditional Indian.” In 1977, Silko published her inaugural novel, Ceremony; it serves as a reaction from the Laguna people to N. Scott Momaday's Pulitzer Prize-winning work, House Made of Dawn. This study seeks to analyse the theme of identity through the interconnected elements of identification, home, ritual, and narrative in N. Scott Momaday's House Made of Dawn and Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony. Abel and Tayo's return home channels the solitary energies of individuals into the collective, enabling characters to return to their respective homes. Abel and Tayo's wartime traumas have estranged them to such an extent that they are incapable of recognising their environment or possessing a coherent sense of self. The author analyses several features that establish a sense of “home” for the characters, as well as the methods by which they have been “unhomed.” The paper through the selected works examines how the indigenous consciousness compelled the Natives to restore their identity.
Artificial Intelligence in Music Composition and Production
The study explores the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on contemporary music composition and production, highlighting its role as a creative and technical collaborator in the modern musical landscape. AI-driven systems such as AIVA, Flow Machines, Jukedeck, Amper Music, and IBM Watson Beat demonstrate the ability of algorithms to generate melodies, harmonies, rhythms, and even lyrics with stylistic coherence and emotional depth. These tools employ machine learning and pattern recognition to analyze vast musical datasets, enabling them to emulate human-like creativity and assist composers in exploring new musical ideas. In production, AI enhances workflow efficiency through automated mastering, mixing, and sound design, allowing for high-quality output with minimal manual intervention. The integration of AI has democratized music creation, making advanced composition tools accessible to both professionals and independent artists. The study concludes that AI does not replace human creativity but amplifies it—bridging artistic intuition and computational intelligence to redefine the boundaries of musical innovation.

Balancing Giants: Kenya’s Foreign Policy Between the West and China in the 21st Century
In an era of shifting global power dynamics, the East African state of Kenya occupies a uniquely strategic position. Flanked by Indian Ocean access, regional trade routes, and a history of Western alliances, Kenya now finds itself recalibrating its foreign policy between traditional Western partners (especially the United States and European Union) and the rising influence of China. This paper argues that Kenya’s foreign policy in the 21st century reflects a deliberate Balancing Act: leveraging Chinese infrastructure investment and trade opportunities while trying to maintain the political, security, and normative benefits derived from its Western relationships. This balancing reflects both opportunity and risk: opportunity in terms of alternative sources of finance and strategic options, and risk in terms of dependency, sovereignty questions, and diplomatic pressure. Understanding this balance is critical not only for Kenya but also for broader debates on how middle‐power states navigate great-power competition in Africa.
Bridging Boundaries: The Role of the Indian Diaspora in South Africa’s Anti-Apartheid Struggle
The story of the Indian diaspora in South Africa—largely descendants of indentured labourers and later migrants—is often told with economic and cultural focus. However, a crucial dimension is their political engagement and contribution to the anti-apartheid struggle (roughly 1946–1994). This paper argues that the Indian diaspora served both as an internal actor within South Africa (through organisations like the Natal Indian Congress and the Transvaal Indian Congress) and as a conduit for international solidarity (including through the Indian state and global Indian communities). The dual role allowed them to bridge boundaries, between Indian and African communities, internal and international politics, and between colonial/indentured legacies and liberation politics.
A STUDY OF DIFFICULTIES IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS OF PUNJAB IN RELATION TO INTELLIGENCE
The aim of the study was to assess English language learning difficulties of elementary school students of Punjab in relation to intelligence. The sample of the study was 176 7th grade students of Punjab state. An English language learning difficulty screening test developed by researcher herself was used for data collection. Raven’s: Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) was used to assess intelligence of elementary school students. The low and high groups of intelligence were formed by applying P25 and P75 cut points-44 students in each group. High intelligent students as compared to low intelligent students have never faced difficulty in the following areas of: Learn class material at slow speed; spend more time to study than classmates; To understand written instructions; and poor handwriting as compared to peers. Low intelligent elementary students as compared to high intelligent elementary students have always faced difficulty in the following areas of: Pronunciating unfamiliar words correctly while reading; and to understand written instructions. More number in low intelligent students as compared to lesser number in high intelligent face problems sometimes in the areas of: To read comprehension; in written expression; poor handwriting as compared to peers; in giving pauses; to grasp ornamental words; and to understand the meaning of almost similar words.

The Reflection of Feminism in the Novels of Jane Austen: A Study of Gender and Social Identity
Jane Austen’s novels present a subtle yet powerful critique of patriarchal society through the depiction of intelligent and independent women who challenge the gender norms of their time. This paper explores feminist undertones in her major works, including Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Emma. The study analyzes Austen’s portrayal of women’s struggle for autonomy, education and social respect in an age defined by rigid class and gender hierarchies. It argues that Austen’s heroines redefine womanhood through wit, moral strength and rational judgment, making her a precursor to modern feminist thought. Austen’s fiction, though domestic in scope, transcends its social boundaries to highlight universal human issues of justice, equality and personal integrity. Her world is one of drawing rooms and dances, yet within these constrained spaces, she carves out a revolutionary vision of female agency (Butler 11–15).
Balancing Performance and User Satisfaction in Mobile Cloud Utilization
Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) has transformed how resource-constrained mobile devices leverage powerful cloud servers to run complex applications. This paper studies how to balance system performance (e.g. latency, bandwidth, energy use) with user satisfaction (e.g. reliability, usability, data privacy) in MCC environments. We first examine key performance factors influencing mobile cloud service efficiency, including network latency, bandwidth availability, device energy consumption, and response time. Their impacts on service quality are analyzed, with a focus on how they affect the end-user experience. Next, we identify user satisfaction parameters relevant to MCC – notably reliability (service uptime and stability), usability (ease of use and responsiveness), data privacy/security, and service availability. We conduct a comprehensive review of 25 recent research studies and industry reports to synthesize insights. Our literature survey reveals that high latency and poor network quality can significantly degrade user satisfaction, while efficient offloading and edge computing can improve responsiveness and battery life, thereby boosting user experience. Reliability and security factors (e.g. low crash rates, robust data protection) emerge as critical to maintaining user trust and continued usage. We propose a conceptual framework illustrating the relationships between system performance metrics and user satisfaction levels. Using this framework, we evaluate how optimizing technical performance (such as minimizing response time) must be balanced with meeting user-centric expectations (such as privacy and reliability) to maximize overall satisfaction. The paper concludes with recommendations for MCC providers to adopt multi-faceted optimization strategies that jointly enhance performance and user satisfaction, ensuring efficient yet user-friendly mobile cloud services.

THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING ON COLLEGE STUDENTS: THE CHALLENGING PERSPECTIVE
Social media has become an integral part of daily life for college students, offering platforms for social connection, information sharing, and entertainment. However, its impact on mental health and well-being has sparked increasing concern. While social media can enhance communication and provide a sense of belonging, its negative effects on mental health, particularly among college students, cannot be overlooked. This paper examines the challenges associated with social media use, focusing on the relationship between social media engagement and mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, social comparison, cyberbullying, and sleep disruption. Research indicates that the curated nature of social media platforms can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy and trigger a cycle of negative self-assessment, leading to heightened levels of anxiety and depression. Furthermore, the fear of missing out (FOMO) and the addictive design of social media can significantly disrupt sleep patterns, further exacerbating mental health issues. The rise of cyberbullying has also been linked to online platforms, with many college students experiencing harassment that leads to feelings of isolation and stress. While social media offers several benefits, it also poses a significant challenge to the psychological well-being of students, making it critical for both individuals and institutions to address its potential harms. This paper calls for increased awareness and digital literacy programs that encourage mindful social media use and promote healthier online environments. Future research should explore the long-term effects of social media use and investigate strategies for mitigating its negative impacts, ensuring that social media remains a positive tool for personal and academic development.
