It gives me immense pleasure to present the October issue of JYANAVI, which brings together a diverse collection of scholarly contributions reflecting the changing intellectual, social, technological, cultural, and educational landscape of our nation.

The contributions in this issue reflect emerging areas of research, such as human-chatbot interaction, artificial intelligence, social media, digital journalism, filmmaking, translation, fashion, education, cinema, the gig economy, child rights, agriculture, library science, print media, Indian Knowledge Systems, and youth culture. Together, these studies show how changes in technological ecosystem is affecting professional practices, social relationships, institutions, and everyday life.

An especially noteworthy feature of this issue is the participation of scholars from institutions across India. The contributions represent diverse academic contexts and perspectives, reinforcing the importance of dialogue across disciplines and regions. This diversity is central to the spirit of JYANAVI.

As the journal continues its journey, we hope that the articles in this issue will encourage meaningful academic conversations, and inspire researchers to explore new questions at the intersections of knowledge, society, technology, culture, and human experience.

I express my sincere appreciation to all the authors for their scholarly contributions and to the reviewers and editorial team for their valuable efforts in bringing this issue to publication. I also thank our readers for their continued interest and engagement with JYANAVI.
