Volume IV December 2020


Society in a frantic habitat Theme for fourth Issue of the Interdisciplinary Journal “Echoes From the Hills” 2020
Man is given a mandate to care for the planet Earth, to protect and preserve it not only for the present generation but also for the future generations. However, man’s desire for progress and development has led to reckless behavior and actions. It goes without saying that in spite of breakthroughs in the different fields of science and technology, today we stand witness to the devastating effects such as climate change, tremendous human suffering, injustice, inequity, poverty, displacement, violence and war, intolerance and discrimination. Furthermore, there is a broad spectrum of natural and manmade disasters which have caused famines, low agricultural outputs, species extinction etc. At present the world is grappling with a pandemic (COVID 19) which has affected every sphere of human activity and interaction demanding further change and adaptation to a new normal. Hence, what we can note is that change is imperative and society exists in a frantic habitat. But if we wish for sustainable development there is no single solution- but many small ones. Through this themed volume “Society in a Frantic Habitat”, the Editorial Board hopes to not only understand how the world in these present times is adapting to the various changing global patterns around us but to also realize that we need to have an organized plan of action so that we can secure our future’s future. We therefore, call for papers that highlight the different challenges and opportunities in the face of an evolving society and environment. In this issue we seek to explore, examine and to also discuss on how the present global scenario affects the different institutions of society like health and family, education, science and technology, economy, trade and commerce, polity, administration, law and order, religion, ethics, and the overall environment.

The last date for submission of papers is the 15th December 2020. Authors of the paper are requested to adhere to submission guidelines which are available in the college website http://www.shillongcollege.ac.in. The editorial board hopes that the paper contributions will add greatly to the subject and the journal itself

Volume V December 2021


Interdisciplinarity and Innovation in Education Theme for fifth Issue of the Interdisciplinary Journal “Echoes From the Hills” 2021
The world is experiencing rapid changes in the knowledge and academic landscape. With various scientific and technological advances, such as the rise of big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, many unskilled jobs worldwide are takenover by machines, while the need for a skilled workforce, particularly involvingmathematics, computer science, and data science, in conjunction with multidisciplinaryabilities across the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, will be increasingly ingreater demand. New Education Policy in alignment with Goal 4 of the United NationsSustainable Development Goals (SDG 2030), emphasizes the need for interdisciplinarystudy, as the government believes that the synergy effect of an interdisciplinary approach to education, can produce more job creators than job seekers. The integrationof multidiscipline, flexibility and technology in the field of academia, requires a major transformation in the education system, where we will encounter many bottlenecks, opportunities, capacity building, brainstorming, innovations and challenges, whichcalls for many research along multiple fields or disciplines.
   The Editorial Board therefore calls for papers that will explore, examine and discuss on the interdisciplinarity across different disciplines as well as innovative strategies and processes in education.
