3. 1. changing social, political scenario The changes in the socio political scenario may results in the formation of new disciplines It is a dynamic process, influenced by various factors.

4. Changing social, political scenario 1. Addressing Social Inequities Example: Gender Studies and Ethnic Studies 2. Globalization and Cross-Cultural Interaction Example: Global Studies and International Relations 3. Technological Advancements Example: The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science 4. Environmental and Climate Change Example: Environmental Science, Sustainability Studies, and Climate Science 5. Health Crises and Public Health Concerns Example: Global Health and Epidemiology 6. Political Movements and Policy Changes Example: Security Studies and Terrorism Studies

5. 2.New researches and inventions New research and inventions open up unexplored areas of knowledge bring about paradigm shifts in how we understand the world. These discoveries and innovations typically raise new questions, solve existing problems, create new tools and technologies that require specialized study.

6. New researches and inventions 1. New Technologies Leading to Specialized Fields Example: Computer Science,AI 2. Interdisciplinary Research Creating New Areas of Study Example: Bioinformatics 3. New Theoretical Frameworks and Paradigm Shifts Example: Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computing 4. Medical and Scientific Breakthroughs Example: Neuroscience 5 . Inventions with Societal Impacts Example: Internet and Digital Media Studies 6. New Scientific Discoveries Creating Niche Fields Example: CRISPR and Genetic Editing 7. New Materials and Engineering Fields Example: Nanotechnology

7. 3.Interdisciplinary approach An interdisciplinary approach integrates knowledge and methods from different fields to address complex problems that cannot be fully understood or solved through a single discipline.

8. Interdisciplinary approach 1. Combining Theoretical Foundations from Multiple Disciplines Example: Cognitive Science 2. Addressing Complex, Multi-Faceted Problems Example: Environmental Science 3. Creating New Fields to Solve Emerging Societal Needs Example: Public Health 4. Development of Hybrid Disciplines Example: Biophysics 5. Interdisciplinary Innovation in Arts and Humanities Example: Digital Humanities

9. 4.Inclusion of work related areas The inclusion of work-related areas in academic study leads to the emergence of new disciplines as industries evolve and develop specialized knowledge and skills that require formal academic frameworks. These fields are often shaped by the demands of the job market, technological advancements, and the need for expertise in specific areas of professional practice. New disciplines emerge to support workforce needs, professional development, and to address the complexities of modern industries.

10. Inclusion of work related areas 1. Professionalization of Emerging Industries Example: Information Technology (IT) 2. Meeting Industry-Specific Needs Example: Hospitality Management 3. Addressing New Forms of Work and Workplace Challenges Example: Human Resource Management (HRM) 4. Incorporating Skills Needed for Emerging Economic Sectors Example: Digital Marketing 5. Responding to Global and Societal Changes in the Workforce Example: Supply Chain Management
