Introduction: The integration of modern technology into traditional enterprises in the Birbhum district has significantly boosted tribal entrepreneurship, leveraging cultural heritage and traditional skills. Mobile technology and internet connectivity have enabled local artisans to sell products online, transcending geographical boundaries. Objectives: The study evaluates technology adoption in tribal communities, identifies key tools for entrepreneurial activities, assesses the economic impact of tech-driven entrepreneurship, analyzes challenges faced by tribal entrepreneurs, and suggests strategies for enhancing technological integration to empower these communities economically. Methodology: This study uses a qualitative approach and thematic analysis to analyze policy documents and secondary data on tech-driven entrepreneurship in Birbhum District, identifying patterns and themes related to technology adoption and economic empowerment. Findings: The study reveals that tech-driven entrepreneurship has increased household income by 25% in tribal communities involved in digital marketplaces and online businesses. However, barriers like lack of digital literacy and inadequate infrastructure hinder widespread adoption. Current policies show moderate effectiveness, with 60% satisfaction rate among beneficiaries.

 Abstract

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a major health concern, as described by the World Health Organization (WHO), affecting people of all ages, including school-aged children. LBP can hinder movement, diminish quality of life, and impact mental well-being. Non-specific LBP, accounting for about 90% of cases, occurs without an identifiable disease or structural issue, while specific LBP is linked to pathologies. This study aims to assess the prevalence of Non Specific LBP among schoolchildren, evaluate pain intensity, and identify activity limitations due to LBP. Methodology: This observational study was conducted in the Northern state of India, involving schoolchildren aged 11-16 years. The study included children without musculoskeletal or systemic diseases and with normal BMI. Participants were surveyed for LBP using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale and the Hanover Functional Ability Questionnaire. Ethical approval and informed consent were obtained before data collection. Results: Among the surveyed students, 200 (13.33%) reported experiencing LBP, with 82 boys and 118 girls affected. Pain intensity ranged from 1 to 5 on the Numerical Pain Rating Scale. Functional ability assessment revealed no significant correlation between pain levels and limited functional activities. Specific activities like reaching high levels from the floor were more frequently affected, while activities such as getting up from bed were less impacted. Conclusion: The study concluded a notable prevalence of LBP among schoolchildren, with moderate pain intensity and mild impact on functional activities. These findings align with previous studies and highlight the need for targeted interventions to manage and prevent LBP in this population.

 Abstract

This paper explores the life and intellectual contributions of Dara Shikoh, the eldest son of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, during the vibrant cultural milieu of medieval India. Dara Shikoh's legacy is characterized by his deep engagement with Hindu and Sufi philosophies, exemplifying a unique multicultural vision that sought to bridge religious divides through scholarly pursuits and dialogue. His translations of Hindu scriptures into Persian and his seminal work, "Majma-ul-Bahrain" (The Mingling of Two Oceans), underscore his belief in the unity of spiritual truths across traditions. Despite facing opposition, Dara Shikoh's advocacy for religious pluralism and mutual respect continues to resonate in contemporary discussions on religious harmony and cultural diversity in India.

 Abstract

Arms laws in India are pivotal instruments shaping public safety, national security, and individual rights. This paper undertakes a comprehensive examination of the socio-legal landscape surrounding arms regulation in India, juxtaposing it with international perspectives for a nuanced understanding. Beginning with a historical overview, it traces the evolution of arms legislation in India, exploring colonial legacies and post-independence reforms. The analysis encompasses statutes such as the Arms Act, 1959, and subsequent amendments, scrutinizing their legislative intent, scope, and enforcement mechanisms. The socio-legal dimension delves into the cultural, economic, and political contexts influencing arms ownership and usage patterns in Indian society. It addresses issues of public safety, crime prevention, and the delicate balance between individual liberties and collective security interests. Furthermore, the comparative analysis contextualizes India's arms laws within the global framework, contrasting regulatory approaches, enforcement practices, and societal attitudes towards firearm ownership across different jurisdictions. Insights from countries with varying levels of gun control inform discussions on policy efficacy and potential reforms.
