It is a matter of great pleasure and heartfelt enthusiasm that Paschim Guwahati Mahavidyalaya is overwhelmed to announce that the college in collaboration with Women Studies Research Cell and Department of Education is going to publish an e-journal “THE SCHOLAR’S VOICE” keeping the theme in mind that is "Gender and Contemporary Issues" which will be the first edition. In this connection, I express my heartfelt congratulations to the entire team. The journal encompasses various significant and contemporary issues regarding gender inclusiveness, equality, politics, education, media, and diversified issues. It is a platform for highlighting the critical need to amplify diverse female voices, explore complex issues impacting women across societies and advocate for gender equality by providing a plethora for rigorous research and insightful analysis. This is not a journal for women studies its scope is wider and includes all contemporary issues. It aims to see gender perspectives from a different lens. This journal provides a wide compilation of diverse ideas and innovative approaches in this research domain. We thank all those who contribute to supplementing and expanding the vast collection of study experiences that the volume carries for future social distribution. I wish the writers best of luck in the future and commend the entire team of publications of this volume for their tireless work in putting this journal together.
