Just like the nature, man’s capacity of thinking is always dynamic. That is why we have seen the changeness in all the aspects of human life. But the foundation which is already laid down cannot be changed. Modern Science takes the help of models in scientific explanation. Just as the engineer consults models in constructing bridges and buildings the thinkers should take the help of conceptual models. The thinkers of new education policy 2019 have also taken a model of education on the basis of the Indian tradition of Ashrama systems. The National Education Policy which tries to meet the changing of the population’s requirement with regard to quality education, innovation and research. Our expectation is, this, new policy of education which aiming to make India a knowledge super power by equipping its students with the necessary skill and knowledge. ‘Beekshan’, the biennial and bilingual philosophical journal of the department of Philosophy, J.B. College (autonomous) always tries to focus the philosophical ideas after having completed its continuous and successful journey of twenty years since 1999, the year of its inception. This eleventh volume of Beekshan is enriched with diverse contents contrubuted by renowned philosophers of Assam and outside of Assam. There is a humble effort on our part to give a platform to our research scholars and Ex-students to express their thoughts.

I express my gratitude to the Advisory and Editorial Boards for their guidance and support. I would like to extend my special thanks to Dr. Bimal Borah, the Principal, of our college for his moral and financial support. The Philosophy department will be always indebted to our revered teacher, former HoD Philosophy & former Principal, J.B. College, Dr. Anjana Chaliha, who is the ‘mother’ of ‘Beeklshan’ as well as the writer of ‘Beekshan Vãrta’ for her constant advice and blessings along with her valuable two articles. I also thankful to all the contributors for their valuable articles, without whom Beekshan could not have published. I offer my heartful thanks to my departmental collegues for their co-operation. I would like to extend my special thanks to our student, Ashim Swargiary, for his constant help in Proof -reading. Finally, I offer my thanks to Manoj Kr. Goswami, the proprietor of Grantha-Sanskriti, for his continuous efforts in bringing out the journal within a short time.
