 Abstract

It is difficult for students, researchers, legal professionals, and citizens to extract clear and useful information from Indian legal documents due to their large, intricate, and linguistically dense structure, which includes constitutional provisions, statutes, and judgment texts. This study proposes a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework for comprehending and summarising Indian legal texts to overcome these challenges. The framework is intended to produce precise, context-aware, and legally sound results. In order to minimise hallucinations and guarantee that generated responses stay true to reliable legal sources, the system uses document segmentation, chunking, domain-specific embeddings, and vector-based semantic search. The framework facilitates both brief and detailed point-wise summarisation, contextual question answering, and automated extraction of important legal insights, in addition to generating succinct and context-rich summaries. The comprehension and accessibility of complex legal material are further improved by additional user-oriented features like embedded YouTube explanations and PDF downloads. When compared to standalone generative models, experimental evaluation shows notable gains in contextual precision, faithfulness, and relevance. All things considered, this RAG-based framework contributes to the development of reliable AI for the legal field by offering a scalable, dependable, and user-friendly solution for navigating, interpreting, and learning Indian legal texts.

 Abstract

Plastic pollution has become one of the most critical environmental challenges of our time, threatening ecosystems, human health, and global economies. The widespread use of plastics--particularly single-use items--has led to massive accumulation of waste in landfills, oceans, and even the atmosphere in the form of microplastics. This essay examines the origins and scale of plastic pollution, highlighting its detrimental impacts on marine and terrestrial environments, biodiversity, and public health. It also explores the economic costs associated with waste management and declining tourism and fisheries. Solutions are discussed through the lens of reduction, reuse, recycling, innovation, and policy interventions, supported by global case studies and technological advancements. The essay emphasizes the importance of collective responsibility, where governments, industries, and individuals must collaborate to transition toward sustainable alternatives and circular economy models. Ultimately, addressing plastic pollution requires urgent, coordinated action to safeguard the planet for future generations.

 Abstract

The rapid growth of e-commerce has led marketers to increasingly use psychological triggers to influence consumer decision-making. One such trigger is the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), commonly employed through scarcity and urgency-based notifications such as limited stock alerts and time-bound offers. This study examines the impact of FOMO-based notifications on online purchase behavior among Generation Z (age of 16 to 28) Myntra users. Using a quantitative research design, data was collected through an online survey from 102 Generation Z respondents based in Mumbai. The findings reveal that FOMO notifications influence purchase decisions, increase user engagement, and occasionally trigger impulsive buying behavior. While these notifications create a strong sense of urgency, their impact is more situational than habitual. Additionally, consumer perception of FOMO messages remains largely neutral to positive, indicating that such strategies do not adversely affect trust or satisfaction when used responsibly. The study provides valuable insights for e-commerce marketers on the effective and ethical use of FOMO-based digital communication strategies.

 Abstract

There is no doubt that economic participation of women has increased in India during last few years, but still they are far back in terms of economic independence. The situation is same for both urban and rural women as discrimination is a reality and gender gap is wider in the economic field. Women have more opportunities and facilities in urban areas in comparison to rural areas. Thus rural women should be more conscious and updated but the reality is totally different. They can't reach to the facilities in lack of knowledge and awareness. Trainings were being organised at different level by different agencies but that's not sufficient. Impact of wrong and inadequate training can be seen among self help group members. Lack of sufficient financial services by the service providers, deep rooted social barriers and lack of strong decision making power among the women are equally responsible for their weak financial condition. Full planned financial literacy program along with digital technology education is highly needed. Due to the awareness about micro financing and micro credit schemes rural women have started savings by making self help groups. Savings only for borrowing and lending money among the group members can't be much fruitful. They should know about other use of money. Banking is not all about saving and loaning; investment and insurance is much more important in planning a better future with economic stability. With the help of World Bank, Government of Bihar is working hard to make the rural women financially empowered. Focus is on sustainable job creation at local level so that they can be self dependent. Banking and insurance sector have to come forward with a big heart to train them about making money, as saving for lending and borrowing is not the ultimate option in the process of financial empowerment. The present study was conducted in the rural areas especially pilot blocks of jeevika. Per capita income is very low as compared to other areas thus saving and investment is low. Total sample of 350 SHG members is comprised through random sampling technique. The primary data was directly collected through personal interview method between 2021to2023.

 Abstract

The quality of education in any society is significantly influenced by teacher effectiveness. This study examines the relationship between teacher effectiveness and enthusiasm among secondary school teachers in Rohtak district, Haryana. Teacher effectiveness encompasses skills like subject knowledge, instructional strategies, and classroom management, while teacher enthusiasm involves passion, energy, and emotional commitment. A sample of 800 secondary school teachers was selected using multi-stage random sampling. The study found a strong, positive correlation between teacher enthusiasm and effectiveness. Teachers with high enthusiasm were significantly more effective than those with lower enthusiasm. Although gender didn't directly impact effectiveness, enthusiastic female teachers slightly outperformed their male counterparts. The study suggests that teacher enthusiasm is crucial for effective teaching and should be fostered through professional development and supportive environments. Educational policies and teacher training programs should emphasize both pedagogical skills and affective dimensions of teaching. By nurturing teacher enthusiasm, schools can enhance teacher performance, student engagement, and overall education quality.

 Abstract

Urolithiasis, known as Ashmari in Ayurveda, is a common urinary disorder characterized by stone formation due to metabolic and dietary factors. Ayurveda describes Ashmari as a result of Dosha imbalance, predominantly Kapha, and recommends the use of Ashmarighna, Mutrala, Lekhana, and Bhedana drugs for its management. India has a rich tradition of using medicinal plants for urinary stone disorders, many of which are widely available and traditionally validated. In recent years, experimental studies have provided scientific support for the lithotropic activity of these plants. This narrative and analytical review was conducted using classical Ayurvedic texts, the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India, and peer-reviewed scientific literature to comparatively evaluate selected herbal drugs. Plants such as Bergenia ligulata, Aerva lanata, Rotula aquatica, Tribulus terrestris, and Crataevanurvala demonstrated significant anti-urolithiatic activity. Their Ayurvedic attributes showed strong correlation with modern pharmacological mechanisms, including inhibition of calcium oxalate crystallization, increased diuresis, nephroprotection, and anti-inflammatory effects. The study highlights convergence between Ayurvedic principles and modern scientific validation, supporting the potential of these herbs in evidence-based management of urolithiasis.

 Abstract

The widespread adoption of digital education platforms has transformed access to learning resources across the globe. However, most existing systems rely on instructor-centric delivery models that limit interaction, personalization, and affordability. This paper presents Learn and Let Learn, an intelligent peer-to-peer skill exchange platform designed to enable users to simultaneously act as learners and mentors. The system employs a hybrid recommendation mechanism combining collaborative filtering and content-based analysis to match users based on skills, interests, and learning objectives. Secure authentication, real-time communication, and automated scheduling enhance user engagement and trust. Experimental evaluation demonstrates improved skill-matching accuracy, higher learner satisfaction, and enhanced knowledge retention when compared with traditional online learning platforms.

 Abstract

Abstract Procurement of a timely and reliable war-critical weapon system is extremely important for any defence forces to build up their combat potential. But it does not end there. The procured system must continue to deliver its stated performance under various climatic conditions and over varied geographical terrains. The cost associated with sustaining such complex weapon systems adds another dimension during the procurement. Improved operational readiness would be one of the most critical factors to achieve operational excellence, and operational readiness can only be achieved through improved operational effectiveness of our equipment. High reliability in equipment is certainly a desirable function, but so is maintainability and excellent logistic support. A Life-Cycle Sustainment Plan (LCSP) is required to be developed for each capital equipment to be procured henceforth, and included as a part of the acquisition strategy.
