Abstract: Behavioural finance is a field of study that argues that, when making investment decisions, people are not nearly as rational as traditional finance theory makes out to be. At its core is the study of the bounds of human rationality along with the various irrational influences and biases that affect the decision-making skill of investors. Sometimes the consequences of irrationality in investment can be much more serious than losing out on profit. Over the past few decades there has been an increase in the number of economic crises caused by what are known as economic bubbles. Economic Bubbles are created when a large number of investors and market participants act in an irrational manner for long periods of time leading to large scale imbalances in the market which can have dire consequences for even the strongest of the economies. In order to prevent these negative consequences of irrationality it is necessary to first understand it and then to recognise the specific kind of irrational behaviour one is vulnerable. Through this study we make an attempt to unravel the various influences that affect investor behaviour while also trying to take into account the decision-making process of investors of Gujarat

Abstract: It is February 2021 and it has been almost 12 months since the first COVID-19 case was reported in India. And during this post-COVID era, the country has been introduced to a ?new-normal?. This ?new-normal? refers to the various changes observed in most, if not all, sectors and industries. The ?new-normal? in the Indian education sector refers to the adoption of online medium of instruction as part of the social-distancing practice under COVID-19 preventive measures. Considering semester-wise education as the most common, most students have entered their third term of attending ?online lectures?, despite their obvious choice for an in-person and offline educational experience. In simpler words, students have been communicating with their peers as well as their educators from remote areas with the help of various Computer-mediated Communication (CMC). Descriptive research was conducted to study the impact of CMC on Learning. Convenience sampling ? a type of non-probability sampling method, was utilized to collect data from 306 students and 168 educators with the help of two questionnaires ? one for students and one for educators, which were delivered to them as a Google Form.To assess the impact of CMC on learning, questions were asked regarding current usage of CMC for different aspects of education, pros-and-cons of CMC-assisted education from a student?s perspectives as well as an educator?s perspective and availability of minimum facilities needed to adopt CMC-assisted education
