 Abstract

Self-Help Groups (SHGs) have long been recognized as critical instruments for promoting socio-economic development, particularly among marginalized communities. Traditionally, SHG activities have been strenuous around sectors such as handicrafts, tailoring, and animal husbandry. However, changing socio-economic landscapes, technological advancements, and emerging market opportunities necessitate a rethinking of livelihood strategies to ensure sustained empowerment. This paper explores the diversification of SHG activities into non-traditional and innovative sectors, examining how new livelihood strategies can enhance resilience, increase income levels, and foster holistic empowerment. The study tries to identify examples of SHGs venturing into agro-processing, digital services, eco-tourism, renewable energy, organic farming, and e-commerce. Through a mixed-methods approach combining field surveys, stakeholder interviews, and secondary data analysis, the research provides insights into the economic and social impacts of innovative livelihood strategies. It argues that diversification not only strengthens the financial autonomy of SHGs but also catalyzes social transformation by enhancing agency, self-confidence, and collective bargaining power among members, particularly women.

 Abstract

Plastics are non-biodegradable materials and it is durable and resistant to degradation, making them nearly impossible for nature do break down. Plastics are not fully compared only recycled. Plastic only break into small pieces. Waste Plastic pollution is a global Problem. Every year 19-23 million tonnes of plastic waste leaks into aquatic ecosystems. Plastic Pollutes lakes, river and seas. The two types of plastic in wed in construction, thermosets & thermoplastics, thermoset plastic has good strength and durability. If we use in waste plastic in flexible pavement than it is economical and great for the environment and helps in increasing the quality of roads. Many environmental problems arise due to plastic like Cary bags, wrappers, battles of cold drinks, Chips and hand bags. we can solve the problem of disposal of waste plastic. It mines with bituminous missives added to that aggregate, gives higher strength, durability higher resistance to water and better performance a long period of time. Plastic Road is very good in terms of Climate condition of India because there all types of weather condition. We in the environment. The main objective of this paper into understand about the use of plastic waste and its use can make us stronger and sustainable and when we add aggregate to plastic, it reduces the air voids and binds the plastic in a better way, gives us strength and Stability.

Inthisprojectpresentsavarcompensationbyacascadedtwo-levelH-BridgeVSIbasedmultilevelstatic compensator (STATCOM) usingSVPWM. Thetopology consists oftwovoltage source inverters areconnected in cascaded through a 3-phase transformer. The benefit of this topology is that by maintaining asymmetric voltages at the dccapacitors ofthe inverters, the levels in the waveformof output voltage can be increases. This results power quality (PQ) improved. The main object of this project is balancing the dc link capacitor voltages ofmultilevelinvertersduringbalancingandunbalancingconditions.Thiscontrolleriscontrollinginvertervoltage in such a way that either -vesequence current flowing into the inverteris eliminated or reduces the unbalancing in the grid voltages. The performance of the control scheme during balanced and unbalanced conditions is analysed through MATLAB/SIMULINK.

 Abstract

The research study will investigate the evolving and multifaceted effects that China's modernization has had on regional integration and cooperation within ASEAN. China's emergence as a massive economy towards the end of the 20th century has profoundly impacted the economic and geopolitical realities within Southeast Asia. The research looks at how China's trade expansion, foreign direct investment, and region-specific infrastructure projects, in particular the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), have shaped ASEAN's economic space and frameworks. Chinese engagement has elevated the region's economic growth and connectivity but also raises concerns about political dependence and strategic vulnerability, especially as seen in continued disputes like the ones in the South China Sea. The qualitative, analytical mode of the research would evaluate ways in which ASEAN has responded to developments in this arena-in particular by strengthening regional mechanisms, seeking to promote economic integration through initiatives such as ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), and all efforts related to the preservation of strategic autonomy. The key findings indicate that China's rise has been a both-way push and pull factor in ASEAN's regional ambitions, displaying the bloc's navigation through an increasingly complex and shifting geopolitical landscape.

The Fundamental Duties enshrined in Article 51-A of the Indian Constitution serve as moral obligations for citizens, aiming to promote responsible behavior and uphold national integrity. This review critically examines two empirical studies that assess the awareness and implementation of these duties among Indian youth. By analyzing the methodologies and findings of these studies, we identify key insights and highlight areas for further research, especially focusing on urban centers like Hyderabad. The study also contextualizes youth participation in constitutional democracy and the gaps in civic education, drawing connections with national education policies and contemporary sociopolitical trends.

ABSTRACT A manufacturing business with a staff of 1200 people and a study sample of 292 participants is the focus of this study, which examines the importance of upskilling and reskilling in the context of automation. The core objective is to examine how automation accelerates the need for continuous skill enhancement within the organization. Additionally, the study explores employees' development of critical thinking, their views on technological advancements, the role of emotional intelligence in adapting to change, and the impact of creativity on the success of upskilling initiatives. The research is structured around four key factors: critical thinking, technological advancement, emotional intelligence, and creativity. To ensure the accuracy of findings, statistical tools including the Mann-Whitney Test, Kruskal-Wallis Test, Chi-Square Test, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis were employed. The study ultimately emphasizes the vital role of targeted learning strategies in equipping employees to remain competent and adaptable in the face of industrial automation.

Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) remains a deeply concerning issue in India, and despite the robust legal framework of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012, preventive mechanisms at the grassroots level require strengthening. Schools, being primary institutions for children's development and safety, are uniquely positioned to play a proactive role in preventing CSA. This paper explores the responsibilities and potential contributions of schools under the POCSO Act, with a focus on teacher training, awareness programs, the formulation of child protection policies, and collaboration with legal authorities.

 Abstract

With the rapid growth of cloud computing, ensuring data security and resilience against sophisticated cyber threats has become increasingly critical. Traditional static encryption approaches are often inadequate against adaptive adversaries capable of exploiting predictable patterns. This paper proposes a novel Adaptive AES-Driven Encryption Framework integrated with Moving Target Defense (MTD) mechanisms to dynamically protect data in cloud environments. The framework enhances the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) by introducing dynamic key generation, periodic cryptographic context switching, and intelligent attack surface shifting based on real-time threat assessment. By continuously altering the encryption parameters and resource configurations, the proposed model significantly reduces the attack surface and limits adversary reconnaissance. Experimental evaluations demonstrate substantial improvements in data confidentiality, key unpredictability, and defense robustness without compromising system performance. This work marks a significant step toward autonomous, adaptive, and proactive cloud security solutions.
