Munger Yoga International University (Bihar Yoga Bharati) has played a crucial role in the development and promotion of yoga on a global scale. This research paper explores its contribution to yoga education, practice, and research while analyzing its spiritual and economic significance in Bihar. The paper highlights the university's efforts in integrating ancient yogic wisdom with modern scientific approaches, making yoga more accessible to both practitioners and researchers. The economic impact of yoga tourism, employment generation, and wellness industries linked to Munger’s yoga initiatives is also analyzed.

Bihar attracts thousands of international tourists each year for yoga training and retreats. Reports indicate that over 15,000 foreign tourists visit Bihar annually for yoga-related activities, significantly contributing to the local economy. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach, combining historical, qualitative, and quantitative research methods. Through literature reviews and case studies, this paper examines how yoga has influenced Bihar’s socio-economic framework. Finally, the discussion provides insights into policy recommendations for enhancing the economic potential of yoga in Bihar.

The study used a case study research design to determine the strategies from a total sample of 23 comprising 10 Headmasters, 01 Ward Councilor, 02 Ward Educational Officers, and 10 School Board Chairpersons. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data, which were then analyzed using thematic analysis.

Bonephace Gonjo — 2025-03-08

This study assesses the impact of communication channels on community participation in government-funded schools in the Morogoro Region, employing an interpretivist philosophical framework and a qualitative research approach. The study's population consisted of ward education officers (2), head of schools (10), ward councilor (1), and ten (10) school board chairman, making a total of 23 participants. The findings reveal a significant disconnect between traditional communication methods, such as notice boards and community meetings, and their effectiveness in engaging diverse community members. While these channels are commonly used, they often fail to reach marginalized groups, highlighting the need for more inclusive strategies. Interviews and focus group discussions with educational stakeholders, including headmasters and ward education officers, reveal challenges such as low attendance at community meetings and barriers like language and literacy that hinder effective communication. The findings suggest that while radio broadcasts and mobile communication present opportunities for broader engagement, their success relies on culturally and linguistically appropriate content. The study underscores critical policy gaps, emphasizing the necessity for reform that integrates innovative communication methods alongside traditional approaches. By aligning with international frameworks, such as the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, the research advocates for tailored training programs for educators and community leaders to enhance messaging effectiveness. Overall, this study contributes to understanding the complexities of communication in fostering community participation, ultimately advocating for policies that promote inclusivity and sustainability in educational development efforts.

Roberthus Gaga NaE — 2025-03-08

This article aims to explain the role of young people as an integral part of the Church to carry out the Church's missionary calling and duties. To the extent that young people realize and find their unity in the community of the Church, then the expression of the charisma of young people towards the social environment can enrich the synodal face of the Church, revealing the merciful face of God, especially in the poor and suffering. This article is written using a qualitative research method that focuses on literature studies by sourcing books and journal articles in accordance with the theme reviewed. The results of this study show that the ability to stand in solidarity, dialogue, care, and struggle with people who experience injustice and the poverty is an effort of young people to participate in shaping the universal face of the Church and to be actively involved in social issues. At the same time, young people are helped to find and formulate their identity as a disciple who also carries out a mission of salvation according to his charisma.

Natasya Reka Maheswari — 2025-03-08

This research aims to describe and analyze internal bureaucratic reform and identify the driving and inhibiting factors in its implementation. The research was conducted at the Center for Development and Quality Assurance of Vocational Education in Automotive and Electronics (BBPPMPV BOE) Malang, Ministry of Education and Culture. The data analysis technique used a qualitative descriptive method. The findings in the study show that implementing the Internal Bureaucratic Reform policy at BBPPMPV BOE Malang refers to George Edward III's theory, including bureaucratic structure, communication, resources, and disposition. The organizational structure and standard operating procedures (SOPs) have been well implemented to ensure services run according to the rules. The communication system is also effective through various forums and internal media, which convey information quickly. In terms of resources, quality human resources support the organization's success, although the regeneration of teachers still needs to be improved. The budget provided by the government each year is still insufficient for equipment renewal. The main inhibiting factor is the fulfillment of the Integrity Zone document towards a Clean Serving Bureaucratic Area (ZI WBBM), which is still administrative and without actual implementation, so improvements are needed in the link between policy and implementation in the field. The study's results are expected to increase the effectiveness of bureaucratic reform at BBPPMPV BOE by strengthening the implementation of SOPs, internal communication, employee training, inclusive services, and administrative order so that reform is not just document fulfillment but sustainable.
