Microorganisms are crucial for the breakdown of organic matter, the removal of contaminants, the creation of soil structure, and the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulphur. Agriculturally important microorganisms are therefore used for a variety of purposes, including nutrient delivery, biocontrol, bioremediation, and the restoration of degraded soils by both natural and artificial inoculation. Increasing crop stress tolerance, yield, and reducing pesticide input in a sustainable and eco-friendly way requires an understanding of root microbiome processes.\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-footer\">\n                <span style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #64748b;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Plant growth promoting fungi, Biocontrol agent, PGPR, Induced resistance<\/span><br \/>\n                <a href=\"mailto:editor.sgc@nbbgc.org?subject=Access Request: Boosting Crop Health and Inducing Stress Resistance\" class=\"jmhr-btn-outline\">Request Full Article Access<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>        <!-- Article 2 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-item\">\n            <span class=\"jmhr-meta\">Research Article | Pages 16-22<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>High Altitude, Vitamin D, and Health<\/h3>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-author\">Dr. Deb K Barma<\/div>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-text\">\n                <strong>Abstract:<\/strong> Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for calcium homeostasis, bone health, immune function, and overall metabolic regulation. High-altitude environments, characterized by increased ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation due to thinner atmospheric layers, provide a unique context for vitamin D synthesis. Despite higher UVB exposure, vitamin D deficiency remains prevalent among high-altitude populations due to factors such as limited sun exposure, seasonal variation, dietary insufficiency, and genetic differences. This review synthesizes current literature on the relationship between high-altitude living, vitamin D status, and associated health outcomes.\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-footer\">\n                <span style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #64748b;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Vitamin D, High altitude, UVB radiation, Deficiency, Health outcomes<\/span><br \/>\n                <a href=\"mailto:editor.sgc@nbbgc.org?subject=Access Request: High Altitude, Vitamin D, and Health\" class=\"jmhr-btn-outline\">Request Full Article Access<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>        <!-- Article 3 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-item\">\n            <span class=\"jmhr-meta\">Research Article | Pages 23-34<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Left or Right &#8211; Which Way to Go?

One individual molecule of the pairs of molecules that are mirror images of each other but cannot be superimposed is called enantiomer. These enantiomers, while sharing identical physicochemical properties in achiral environments, often display vastly different biological and pharmacological activities. The ability to separate and produce enantiomerically pure compounds is therefore critical in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. This article discusses the scientific basis and importance of chiral separation.\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-footer\">\n                <span style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #64748b;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Chirality, Chiral separation, Chromatography, HPLC, Pharmaceuticals<\/span><br \/>\n                <a href=\"mailto:editor.sgc@nbbgc.org?subject=Access Request: The Science of Chiral Separation\" class=\"jmhr-btn-outline\">Request Full Article Access<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>        <!-- Article 4 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-item\">\n            <span class=\"jmhr-meta\">Research Article | Pages 35-44<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Exploring Higher Secondary School Teachers&#8217; Attitudes Toward Life Skills Education<\/h3>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-author\">Savita Mishra<\/div>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-text\">\n                <strong>Abstract:<\/strong> Life Skills are abilities that help in promotion of mental and social wellbeing, and competence in young children to face the realities of life. The ultimate aim of education is the overall development of a child&#8217;s personality which cannot be achieved without exposing to various components of life skills. The purpose of conducting this study was to find out the attitude of higher secondary school teachers towards life skill education in relation to some personal variables. A sample of 120 higher secondary school teachers from Siliguri were selected. The findings revealed significant variations existed based on rural\/urban settings, age, and academic streams.\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-footer\">\n                <span style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #64748b;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Life Skill Education, Attitude, Personal variables<\/span><br \/>\n                <a href=\"mailto:editor.sgc@nbbgc.org?subject=Access Request: Teachers Attitudes Toward Life Skills Education\" class=\"jmhr-btn-outline\">Request Full Article Access<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>        <!-- Article 5 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-item\">\n            <span class=\"jmhr-meta\">Research Article | Pages 45-56<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Darjeeling Sikkim Hill Calendars: A History of Time Measurement<\/h3>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-author\">Umesh Subba and Amitabha Bhattacharyya<\/div>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-text\">\n                <strong>Abstract:<\/strong> Time keeping has been important to any developed society. Agriculture requires knowledge of changing weather, which can be understood only by knowing the solar cycle. The growing of trees, taking care of animals, rearing children and other activities require an idea of the passing of days. In the sphere of religion, it is required to fix days and hours for different rituals. Calendars are developed in every society from such requirements. Different societies developed different ways to calculate time and accordingly designed their calendars. This article attempts to concentrate on the Lepcha, the Limbu and the Rai calendars from the Sikkim Darjeeling hills.\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-footer\">\n                <span style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #64748b;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Indigenous Calendar, Solar Calendar, Luni-Solar Calendar<\/span><br \/>\n                <a href=\"mailto:editor.sgc@nbbgc.org?subject=Access Request: Darjeeling Sikkim Hill Calendars\" class=\"jmhr-btn-outline\">Request Full Article Access<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>        <!-- Article 6 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-item\">\n            <span class=\"jmhr-meta\">Case Study | Pages 57-64<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Study of drying lakes in Himalayan region: A case study in Uttarey Lake<\/h3>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-author\">Keshar Kumar Luitel, Passang Sherpa, Tikendra Hari Sharma, Goley Eden Bhutia, Brajesh Gurung and Homnath Luitel<\/div>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-text\">\n                <strong>Abstract:<\/strong> Sikkim lies over a fragile geo-environmental condition, in a tectonically active area and spring discharges in this region are decreasing day by day, resulting in scarcity of drinking water in several areas.

Drawing upon Gandhi&#8217;s own writings and major secondary sources, the paper explores his conviction that politics must be rooted in ethics, spirituality, and service to humanity. Gandhi rejected the realist conception of politics as a struggle for power and instead proposed a model grounded in truth, moral discipline, and self-sacrifice. The analysis concludes that Gandhi&#8217;s political philosophy continues to offer a timeless ethical framework for rethinking democracy, development, and justice.\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-footer\">\n                <span style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #64748b;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Gandhi, non-violence, Satyagraha, Ram Rajya, state, religion<\/span><br \/>\n                <a href=\"mailto:editor.sgc@nbbgc.org?subject=Access Request: Political Ideas of Mahatma Gandhi\" class=\"jmhr-btn-outline\">Request Full Article Access<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>        <!-- Article 8 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-item\">\n            <span class=\"jmhr-meta\">Research Article | Pages 76-85<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Politics and Ethics of Language Endangerment: a dossier<\/h3>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-author\">Samar Sinha<\/div>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-text\">\n                <strong>Abstract:<\/strong> In the background of the UN resolution regarding language endangerment, indigenous languages and peoples, the linguistic scenario in Sikkim and Darjeeling is discussed in the light of linguistic vitality under biocultural diversity.

Thus, a Wreath Cycle Decomposition is introduced, and a hierarchy of invariants, such as Territory, Yade-Class, and Load, leading to the Load-Orbit Graph, is established. Further, a Load Character Table is constructed that organizes irreducible character values along wreath-cycle components, and preliminary spectral applications to Cayley graphs are discussed.\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-footer\">\n                <span style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #64748b;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Automorphism, Wreath Product, Cactus Graph, Load Invariant<\/span><br \/>\n                <a href=\"mailto:editor.sgc@nbbgc.org?subject=Access Request: Load Invariants, Character Theory\" class=\"jmhr-btn-outline\">Request Full Article Access<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>        <!-- Article 11 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-item\">\n            <span class=\"jmhr-meta\">Research Article | Pages 106-112<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>NEP 2020 Perspective on Integrating Indian Knowledge Systems into Contemporary Indian Education<\/h3>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-author\">Punam Chhetri<\/div>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-text\">\n                <strong>Abstract:<\/strong> Despite the rapid transformation of the Indian education system, it has been criticized for overtly emphasizing specialization, rote learning, and being alienated from the traditional ancient wisdom often referred to as the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) in common parlance.

Recognizing the potential of ancient wisdom in responding to the need of creating well-rounded individuals, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has outlined several measures for revitalizing Indian education, including the modalities of integrating the IKS into the modern education system.

This helps us determine the existence of room temperature ferromagnetism and thus feasibility in spintronic applications of similar systems. From ab-initio studies in existing literature, we obtain the energy difference between magnetic configurations at 0 K to create the Heisenberg spin model for the system. By treating this system atomistically, we evolve it in temperature using the Monte Carlo metropolis method. The transition temperature from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic state that is the Curie temperature is thus obtained giving information about the temperature up to which ferromagnetism exists. For the current study we focus on two oxides viz. TiO2 and SnO2 as the base materials.\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"jmhr-abstract-footer\">\n                <span style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #64748b;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Dilute Magnetic Semiconductors, Spintronics, Monte Carlo Method, Curie Temperature<\/span><br \/>\n                <a href=\"mailto:editor.sgc@nbbgc.org?subject=Access Request: Estimation of Curie Temperature in Dilute Magnetic Semiconductors\" class=\"jmhr-btn-outline\">Request Full Article Access<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>    <!-- 5.
