 Abstract

The current paper discusses the relation between 'memory' and 'migration' as cited in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's Before We Visit the Goddess. Divakaruni's novels majorly focus on the immigrant experience and present how the shift in America's commitment to multiculturalism caused a surge in the number of immigrants. While the immigrants benefit on the economic front, they are always preoccupied with memories of their home and homeland. These memories often glorify the home land i.e., the past. This glorification of the past is often a reaction to the shortcomings that immigrants experience in the present. Immigrants, therefore are in constant engagement with their past. However, a few who immigrate often choose to assimilate into the core culture of the adopted land. But, Divakaruni's novels provide ample scope to explore how immigrants cannot disengage with their past. The past and the present are intertwined. Divakaruni's novels add another dimension to this argument where the present occurrences and their effect on the human psyche aids in getting a clearer picture of the past. The current paper aims to explore the relationship of 'memory' and 'migration' under this light. Primarily it aspires to understand the impact of memory on the immigrant within the multicultural context of the United States. By doing so, the paper attempts to decipher whether memory plays an enabling or disabling role in the lives of immigrants in a multicultural scenario. This paper therefore aims at exploring the politics of memory as presented in Before We Visit the Goddess. The selected text centres around the lives of three women who have been separated by 'migration' and but remain connected to each other through 'memories.'

 Abstract

In today's era of Atmanirbhar (self-reliant) Bharat, which is on the brink of global integration due to its strong leadership, thriving economy and foreign policy decisions, it is challenging to delve into some of the ground realities of Bharat. Inspired by my personal experience, I feel the need to throw light on these issues so that all of you understand the challenges and join the discussion to overcome them, thereby furthering the cause of Divyangs who are being portrayed as mere caricatures. The study primarily focuses on the issues and redressive measures aimed at bridging the gap between policy intentions and their implementation by policy makers as well as discussing some of the lagging behind in empowering Divyangs so that a more equitable and accountable system can be established.

 Abstract

The researchers conducted the study taking 200 (male and female) distant learners from NDWCTE, Bhubaneswar and SCS (Auto) College, Puri, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) Study Centers under Bhubaneswar Region to find out the level of attitude of distant learners towards self-learning material and personal contact programme in distance education in relation to gender, graduate and post graduate prospective teachers. The result shows that the level of attitude of distant learners towards self-learning material and personal contact programme was high and more positive. Male distant learners have more positive attitude towards Self Learning Materials as compared to female counter parts whereas female distant learners have low attitude towards Personal Contact Programme as compared to male counterparts. There was no significant difference between attitude of graduate distant learners and undergraduate distant learners towards Self Learning Materials and Personal Contact Programme.

 Abstract

Smart manufacturing endeavors to optimize capabilities for enhanced performance in manufacturing enterprises, targeting cost, delivery, and quality objectives. This necessitates integrating product development, production systems, and business cycles within the supply chain management framework. While considerable data is generated in manufacturing, the adoption of blockchain, despite success in financial industries, has been sluggish in non-financial sectors. This research presents a methodology for establishing a traceable and intelligent supply chain, emphasizing the realization of traceability for enterprise entities through smart manufacturing systems. Stakeholders in the supply chain are required to incorporate blockchain to record critical control data, enhancing transparency. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) further empowers supply chain stakeholders to derive meaningful insights collectively. This collaborative data access contributes to the evolution of an intelligent supply chain. This study explores the potential of blockchain in coordinating activities for efficient supply chain management beyond financial transactions. The study aims to advance the understanding of blockchain in the context of supply chains, providing insights for both researchers and practitioners to consider its application in diverse future studies. The integration of blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) has gained prominence, particularly for enhancing security, efficiency, and productivity in volatile business environments. This is particularly evident in the supply chain, where the combined use of blockchain and AI contributes to improved information and process resilience, cost-efficient product delivery, and enhanced traceability. This paper conducts a comprehensive review of the integration of blockchain and AI in supply chains with a proposed framework.
