According to the World Investment Report (2021) published by UNCTAD, India is one of the top investment destinations and ranks 7th place in receiving FDI inflows. While attracting inflows from all the regions, Karnataka garners a larger share among the total FDI inflows in India. This paper examines the trends and patterns of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows in the state of Karnataka in the past decade (2012-13 to 2021-22) with emphasis on investment promotion policies, comparative performance among the top five states of India, cumulative inflows from abroad and challenges for the state to further strengthen the inflows. It is hypnotized that FDI has a positive impact on Per Capita Net State Domestic Product (NSDP) and infrastructure development in the state. The multi-regression analysis is used as a statistical tool. Data compiled from DPIIT and Annual Economic survey reports of the Government of Karnataka. The empirical evidence shows that Karnataka has gained prominence in FDI share especially IT/ITes sector has lured about 30 percent of total FDI inflows in the state.

It has the power to transcend the boundaries across the world, thereby sharing all kinds of human experiences.

And when it comes in the Indian context, it is the Dalit community becomes the utmost victims of the traumas of marginalization.

Meditation and expanding one's consciousness can help one achieve self-realisation. Reflection and self-awareness are crucial in realising one's true nature and achieving self-actualisation. The Bhagavad Gita generally gives a complete and multifaceted view of self-realisation. This notion includes the realisation of one's true self, the eradication of one's ego, the pursuit of spiritual paths, and the attainment of freedom. Abraham Maslow proposed Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a psychological theory. Human needs can be classified into five levels of hierarchy. Carl Rogers, a well-known humanistic psychologist, coined the term 'self-actualisation.' Eastern philosophies, such as mindfulness and Zen Buddhism, have a long history of emphasising self-realisation via inward awareness and meditation. Taoism is an ancient Chinese philosophy that encourages people to unite with the Tao. Existentialism is a philosophical movement investigating self-realisation by delving into fundamental concerns about life and individuality. While the Bhagavad Gita's concept of self-realisation is similar to Western psychology theories and Eastern philosophies, it is distinguished by its comprehensive approach. The Bhagavad Gita's self-realization teachings complement psychology and philosophy. Students learn morals, self-awareness, and progress from these lessons. These concepts can harmonise and educate.

It gathers all students in one classroom, focusing on maximising each student's potential without taking into account their areas of strength or weakness. According to inclusive education, all categories of people with disabilities should have equal access to school and that extra attention should be given to the learning requirements of children with disabilities.The Indian government expedited the new Inclusive Education programme in order to meet the 2010 deadline for Education for All (EFA). The goal of inclusion is to ensure that a varied range of learners, including individuals with disabilities, speakers of other languages and cultures, families and homes, and interests and learning styles, are included. As far as we are aware, the Indian government has already implemented the RTE Act of 2009, which guarantees free and compulsory education for children between the ages of 6 and 14 years old, regardless of their caste, gender, colour, religion, disability, or language. Education for all helped to integrate many communities, including children from disabled families and members of Scheduled Tribes and Castes, into the mainstream of education. The inclusive education model serves as the foundation for education for everyone. Additionally, love, acceptance, and a sense of belonging are necessities for every child. Nonetheless, it offers them a completely new viewpoint on how to handle diversity or combat unfavourable sentiments. This article explains the idea of inclusive education in India, as well as its implementation's difficulties.

Digital skills have become a necessity and no longer an option unlike a few years ago, especially after the pandemic. Technology has penetrated every nook and corner of society, so much so that it has become absolutely necessary to be able to function to the fullest and be in sync with the world around us. Against this backdrop, developing digital skills is imperative because of the role it plays in every aspect of life. Therefore, our education system needs to be more inclusive in order to bridge the gender digital divide. To bridge the gap and achieve gender equality, equal access and training is required. However, the implementation of such an education system, though, is an entirely different story. Digital skills education, especially for women and girls, is in a deplorable state. This paper will analyse the urgency of the need to address this issue and discuss potential measures to achieve equality.
