Sanjib Patra — Thu, 04 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

From the inception of the Swadeshi movement, the residents of Bhagwanpur have etched their names in history through significant struggles such as extremist armed uprisings, non-cooperation movements, salt satyagraha, and civil disobedience movements. Countless common people from the Medinipur district rallied together in the final phase of India’s liberation struggle. These patriotic revolutionaries, who embody the spirit of nationalism, are a source of pride for our district, yet sadly, they have been largely forgotten over time. This collective amnesia can be attributed to past historians’ oversights, research gaps, and the tendency to overlook regional histories. The narrative of history writing should not only serve a political agenda but also aspire to shape a more humane trajectory by emphasizing the human aspect beyond mere political facts. This principle holds for regional historiography as well. The inhabitants of Bhagwanpur have a rich legacy of participating in the freedom movement. Through their valiant efforts during the ‘Quit India’ movement, the people of this Bhagwanpur sub-division have made significant sacrifices and endured hardships. Unfortunately, this history has often been overlooked or left unrecorded for generations. The article primarily focuses on the involvement, organization, challenges, and outcomes of the residents of Bhagwanpur during the August movement. Additionally, it delves into the resilience of the local population in the face of natural calamities such as floods, and cyclones, and their unwavering commitment to the nation’s independence movement.

This study investigates the relationship between openness to experience and entrepreneurial intentions among students, exploring the mediating role of creative problem-solving. Building on the Big Five personality framework and creativity research, we assume that individuals high in openness will exhibit stronger entrepreneurial intentions due to their enhanced creative problem-solving abilities. The study employs a quantitative research design with survey data collected from a sample of university students. The analysis utilizes structural equation modelling to examine the proposed relationships. We anticipate findings that support the mediating role of creative problem-solving, shedding light on the underlying mechanism through which openness to experience influences entrepreneurial aspirations. Our research contributes to the understanding of personality traits and individual differences in entrepreneurial intention, informing potential interventions and support programs to foster entrepreneurial spirit and equip students with the necessary skills for venturesome endeavours.
