Abstract

Educational inequality remains a significant challenge in rural India, with disparities in access to infrastructure, teacher quality, and technology hindering equitable learning opportunities. This study examines these inequalities in two rural regions: Barwani, Madhya Pradesh, and Kalahandi, Odisha. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines qualitative interviews with students, teachers, and policymakers, alongside quantitative data on enrollment, infrastructure, and learning outcomes. Findings reveal that 72% of schools in Barwani lack science laboratories, while 65% of schools in Kalahandi lack digital tools, reflecting severe infrastructural gaps. High student-to-teacher ratios of 70:1 in Barwani and 60:1 in Kalahandi further strain educational quality, exacerbated by a lack of trained teachers. Poor access to technology and unreliable internet connectivity limit digital literacy, perpetuating the digital divide. The study also evaluates government interventions such as the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan and digital education initiatives, finding implementation inconsistencies in remote areas. The findings highlight how educational inequality restricts social mobility and economic opportunities, particularly in underdeveloped regions. Future research should focus on the effectiveness of targeted policies and explore innovative, technology-driven solutions to bridge these disparities, fostering equitable educational development and sustainable growth in rural India.

Abstract

Health sciences encompass a diverse range of disciplines that combine insights from medicine, biology, public health, nursing, pharmacology, and other related fields to enhance human health. The primary purpose is to improve the understanding of human health as it develops alongside disease progression together with treatment effectiveness for both personal and community populations. Healthcare systems now redirect their focus towards population health management while expanding medical care from conventional settings to community-based health strategies to deliver affordable quality services. Changes in the healthcare environment require professionals to master evidence-based methods while effectively using technology along with teamwork between different professionals. Healthcare has undergone revolutionary changes through medical research which has delivered breakthrough treatments through "Gene editing, immunotherapy, nanotechnology, and mRNA vaccines." Public health programs use three prevention levels including primary and secondary and tertiary healthcare measures in addition to risk factor reduction and wellness support. Different countries across the globe operate different healthcare models which include Beveridge Bismarck National Health Insurance systems for financing their health services delivery methods. The health sciences industry continues to deal with various hurdles that include data privacy issues as well as mental health stigma and cybersecurity concerns and AI integration difficulties alongside regulatory complications. The healthcare industry needs ongoing innovative approaches and collective efforts to establish fair healthcare structures that are both efficient and eco-friendly. Health sciences with an emphasis on accessible and efficient compassionate care play a fundamental role in delivering better patient results and better healthcare practices for worldwide health equity.

Abstract

The growing integration of mobile technologies has reshaped how learning is designed, experienced, and evaluated in modern education. This systematic review synthesizes findings from 78 empirical studies published between 2015 and 2024 to examine how interactive mobile tools—such as adaptive systems, simulations, gamification, and augmented reality—affect measurable learning outcomes. The analysis followed the PRISMA framework and focused on peer-reviewed research that employed experimental or quasi-experimental designs. Results indicate that mobile learning yields moderate yet consistent improvements in knowledge acquisition, motivation, and skill development, with stronger effects observed in STEM and health-related subjects. Adaptive systems and simulation-based applications were found to be the most effective, while gamification and augmented reality produced mixed outcomes depending on instructional design quality. The review also reveals that pedagogical alignment, teacher readiness, and institutional support play a decisive role in determining success. Technology by itself does not ensure learning gains; rather, meaningful results arise when digital tools are purposefully embedded into curriculum design and supported through professional training. Despite methodological and contextual limitations in existing studies—such as short intervention durations and limited geographic diversity—the evidence supports a cautiously optimistic view: mobile learning can complement traditional instruction when guided by sound pedagogy, coherent assessment strategies, and equitable access.
