THE CHALLENGES FACED BY SAME SEX PARENTS
The Central Adoption Resource Authorityโs requirements are part of the JJ Act (Juvenile Justice Act), 2015, which gives everyone, regardless of religion, the capacity to adopt. No child shall be placed in adoption to a couple unless they have at least two years of a solid marital unity, according to a requirement in the law. Same-sex couples are unable to demonstrate two years of marital stability in India because marriages between the same sexes are not yet recognised in that country. As a result, they are ineligible. Furthermore, the SOCIAL STIGMA associated with these relationships deters the government from approving adoption for such families.[9]

๐ต Review of Surinder S. Jodhkaโs The Indian Village: Invisible India - The Hindu
Link
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar regarded the village as marked by the presence of intractable and oppressive social structures. โWhat is the village but a sink of localism, a den of ignorance, narrow-mindedness and communalism?โ he asked.
In his new book, The Indian Village, sociologist Surinder Jodhka points out that the Indian village is not only a lived reality, but also an idea. It was the colonial imagination that first constructed India as a land of tiny, untouched, impermeable village republics frozen in time โ a narrative that was deliberately constructed to justify the project of imperialism. A section of Indian nationalists found it useful to build on this idea of India as an ocean of villages but sharing a cultural unity. After independence, a linear narrative of social change, development, and economic growth began to be created which seemed to lead inevitably towards urbanisation. In the 1990s, with economic liberalisation, the village began to slip off the radar of public discourse.

๐ต An experiment in education at grassroots level schools in Bangladesh - The Hindu
https://www.thehindu.com/books/an-experiment-in-education-at-grassroots-level-schools-in-bangladesh/article67612300.ece
Bangladeshi preschool teacher Shaheen was only twenty-six, but she was a dynamo, brimming with energy. Married at the age of fifteen, despite all odds, sheโd completed her studies. Her preschool students were able to read better than even second-grade students we had met in nearby schools. Shaheen employed a range of innovative teaching aids, including picture cards and abacuses. She showed her students multiple picture cards and combined different words phonetically making it easier for them to grasp. Most importantly, her students understood the meaning of every word they read, not only in Bengali but in English too. She was using a learning method called the Kajoli Early Childhood Education Model.

She is Danasuri Anasuya Seethakka ..
Her story is what is success of social policy looks like
She was part of the left wing extremist group People's War- Group disillusioned with State
She was rehabilitated under the Rehabilitation policy first propounded by the Visionary National Development Council under UPA-1
Which was adopted first by the erstwhile United Andhra Pradesh.
Seethakka was given first chance as a sarpanch, then MPTC and then as a ZPTC member , then MLA
Today she is well known for her Impeccable work ethic, honest public demeanor and was a popular choice for Ministry. So much so that she received the highest Cheer from the public.
.
This is the testament of a well formulated & implemented Social policy.

๐ต A New Model For Healthy Ageing
Link
Kanagawa residents are tending to work into older age brackets, so the government has also encouraged companies to appoint chief health officers to support healthy habits in the workplace. By implementing preventive health strategies such as adult vaccinations, cardiovascular screenings, healthy eating, and group exercises, these officers can improve worker efficiency, increase satisfaction, and reduce health-care costs. Companies throughout the prefecture have helped workers quit smoking, exercise more, and learn about healthy eating. At the Minami-kanto branch of the communications company KDDI, for example, health officerโorganized mental health counseling sessions, regular yoga and stretching classes, health and sanitation seminars, and an annual sports festival for employees. Walking events organized by the officer have drawn more than 1,500 participants.

Exacerbating Gender Inequity
Population aging presents manifold and interrelated implications for societies, ranging from reduced economic growth, higher disease burden and national health-care costs, social isolation, and increased economic insecurity among the elderly. Yet though the consequences are broad, their impacts are uneven. Women, in particular, bear the brunt of them.
The simplest reason women are hardest hit by population aging is that gender inequality compounds over time, and most older people are women, living on average six to eight years longer than men, Because gender disparities in employment opportunities and income exacerbate over a lifetime, elderly women are more likely to be financially insecure and must extend their reduced retirement savings over a longer period than their male counterparts. Studies have also found that elderly women living in poverty are more likely than elderly men to live alone, creating higher odds of encountering exploitation and abuse.

๐ต Queer Theory
Queer theory is a CRITICAL THEORY that examines and critiques society's definitions of gender and sexuality. It is a way of thinking that challenges traditional academic approaches, fights against social inequality, and dismantles traditional assumptions about gender and sexual identities.
Queer theory:
๐นStudies gender and sexual practices: That exist outside of heterosexuality
๐นChallenges the notion of "normal": That heterosexual desire is normal
๐นPerceives sexuality and gender as social constructs: That shape the way sexual orientation and gender identity are displayed in public
๐นCritically examines the way power works: To institutionalize and legitimate certain forms and expressions of sexuality and gender while stigmatizing others
Queer theory is an interdisciplinary field that encourages one to look at the world through new avenues. It followed the emergence and popularity of Gay and Lesbian (now, LGBT or Queer) Studies in the academy.
Some of the core theorists in the development of queer theory include:
๐ธMichel Foucault
๐ธGayle Rubin
๐ธEve Kosofsky Sedgwick
๐ธJudith Butler
