Conflict shapes the academic journey of Mr. Ananda Kumar Biswas, whose scholarship and professional work address the tension between children’s digital futures and global social inequalities through a rigorous interdisciplinary lens, demonstrating how Conflict between technology, vulnerability, and rights emerges within evolving communication systems, humanitarian responses, education reform, and policymaking. Mr. Ananda Kumar Biswas is driven by a profound commitment to social transformation and child protection, exploring how Generation Alpha interacts with digital technology, how parental mediation varies across contexts, and how media literacy is evolving in the global South, often at the crossroads of Conflict between opportunity and inequity. His educational trajectory reflects a consistent pursuit of knowledge across human rights, communication, education, leadership, and development studies; currently, he is pursuing an APMA (Asia Pacific) degree in Human Rights and Democratization at Mahidol University in Thailand under the EU & Global Campus Asia Pacific Scholarship, while his previous academic achievements include an M.A. in Communication (ULAB) awaiting thesis defense, an M.Ed. in Educational Leadership and School Improvement from BRAC University with a CGPA of 3.64/4, a Master of Development Studies from Khulna University with a CGPA of 3.36/4, a Post Graduate Diploma in Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) from the Academy of Business Professionals with strong results, and a Bachelor of Social Science degree in Development Studies also from Khulna University with a CGPA of 3.23/4. Throughout these academic engagements, Mr. Ananda Kumar Biswas demonstrated an emerging specialization in examining Conflict between children’s rights and rapidly expanding digital environments. His professional involvement with globally recognized development organizations such as BRAC and Caritas Bangladesh provided extensive experience in project implementation, management, humanitarian programming, and communication interventions, reinforcing how Conflict within policy, protection, and digital exposure affects children, families, and institutions. His research interests include Child Rights, Digital Childhood, Media Literacy, Humanitarian Response, Gender and Resilience, Digital Rights, and AI and Society, showing how Conflict between technological shifts and ethical responsibilities informs policies, parental strategies, and educational reform. His research skills span qualitative analysis, comparative studies, media practices, community-response evaluation, and social policy assessment, reflecting an ability to translate academic research into actionable frameworks. Mr. Ananda Kumar Biswas has published with Springer, Palgrave, Routledge, Wiley, and peer-reviewed journals, continuously exploring how Conflict between global technology flows and local vulnerabilities shapes socioeconomic resilience. His awards and honors include the prestigious EU & Global Campus Asia Pacific Scholarship, academic distinctions within his PGD- MEAL program, and recognition from international scholarly platforms, underscoring both academic excellence and applied fieldwork expertise. In every dimension of his research and professional life, Mr. Ananda Kumar Biswas situates digital transformation within human rights contexts, addressing the Conflict created when technology evolves faster than protective structures such as education, policy, and parental mediation. Ultimately, Mr. Ananda Kumar Biswas seeks to integrate scholarship, advocacy, and implementation into a rights-based technological framework that empowers policymakers, educators, and families to safeguard and uplift children, ensuring that development in digital spaces does not widen inequity but enhances dignity, inclusion, and resilience in societies affected by ongoing humanitarian and structural Conflict.
