It is our pleasure to publish the present issue of the Indian Journal of Educational Research, Volume VI. We are really thankful to find the responses and contributions of scholars in Education throughout the country. After a thorough peer-review process, research papers are finally selected for the present issue. The present issue is comprised of fifteen articles and twelve Ph. D. thesis abstracts related to good quality research covering various aspects of education. The topics cover from preprimary to higher education including diverse issues like special education, philosophy of education, teacher education, and legal education. Moreover, as a truly research journal, it has delved into matters related to choice based credit system, curriculum, yoga practices and other issues. Articles are included in historical, sociological and psychological research. All the papers in the journal are expected to enhance the quality research in education. It is to be noted that our journal can be seen at present in our University website (caluniv.ac.in) through ‘Education’ Department. Our whole hearted thanks to the authorities of the University, our colleagues in the department, the contributors, the panel of reviewers and the readers. We are fortunate enough to have a highly esteemed peer review committee who, in spite of their very busy schedule, provided thorough and critical inputs for each and every paper. I specially thank to our Professor A. Ghose, D. Sengupta, M. Sengupta and Md. Kutubuddin Halder for their silent dedication towards the shaping of the journal. As a big family we all tried our best to enhance and sustain the quality of the journal. In spite of utmost care, some limitations and incompleteness may crop therein. It is all due to our constraints to shoulder the responsibility to the perfection.
