 Abstract

Education is widely recognized as one of the most effective instruments for promoting social justice, equality, and human development. In India, the constitutional framework envisages an egalitarian society where every individual has equal access to opportunities irrespective of caste, religion, gender, language, or socio-economic background. Education serves as a transformative tool that empowers marginalized communities, enhances social mobility, and strengthens democratic participation. The Constitution of India incorporates several provisions aimed at ensuring educational access and reducing social inequalities. This paper adopts a doctrinal research approach to examine the constitutional and legal framework governing education as an instrument of social justice in India. The study analyses constitutional provisions, legislative enactments, judicial pronouncements, and policy initiatives that seek to promote educational equity and inclusion. Particular emphasis is placed on Articles 14, 15, 21A, 29, 30, 38, 41, 45, and 46 of the Constitution, along with the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 and the National Education Policy, 2020. The paper argues that although India possesses a comprehensive constitutional framework for educational justice, challenges relating to accessibility, quality, socio-economic disparities, and digital exclusion continue to hinder its realization. The study concludes that effective implementation of educational laws and policies is essential for transforming constitutional promises into social realities.

 Abstract

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) with SAP S/4HANA is examined here as a driver of smart manufacturing and intelligent enterprise management, culminating in a conceptual framework that links specific AI capabilities to SAP S/4HANA manufacturing modules. Adopting a secondary research design, the study synthesises evidence from peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and industry reports on Artificial Intelligence, Industry 4.0, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, and SAP S/4HANA, reviewed systematically to surface recurring themes and reported outcomes. Four themes emerge consistently across the literature: AI-driven production planning and scheduling, predictive maintenance, AI-enabled decision support, and AI-based supply chain and demand forecasting. Reported outcomes associated with AI-integrated SAP S/4HANA adoption include production efficiency gains of 25%-35%, downtime reductions of up to 30% through predictive maintenance, decision-making speed improvements of approximately 40%, and inventory optimisation gains of 20%-25%. These findings inform a proposed conceptual framework mapping AI application onto four core SAP S/4HANA modules: Production Planning, Quality Management, Plant Maintenance, and Supply Chain Management. Where prior literature treats AI and SAP S/4HANA largely as separate streams, the present study stands among the first to consolidate the available evidence into a single, structured framework linking specific AI capabilities to specific SAP S/4HANA manufacturing functions, giving organisations a practical reference point for planning AI-led ERP transformation. Being literature-based, the study synthesises findings already published rather than primary data, and the proposed framework awaits empirical validation; future work through case studies or practitioner surveys would help establish its practical value.

 Abstract

In India's economy, gold has a special and significant significance as a hedge against uncertainty, a store of value, and a cultural asset.At the same time, India's GDP is a good indicator of the country's overall economic health.Gaining knowledge of the relationship between gold prices and India's GDP can help one better understand trade dynamics, investor behaviour, and the consequences for economic policy. An analytical prediction of India's GDP growth and domestic gold prices from 2025 to 2030 is provided in this article. The projection is based on historical data (2015-2024), macroeconomic trends, inflation expectations, the direction of monetary policy, and the dynamics of the world gold market.

 Abstract

Tourism has become an important factor influencing regional development especially when it comes to geographically and environmentally unique destinations like Leh, Ladakh. The fast development of tourism has created socio-economic benefits including job creation, improvements in infrastructure, support to local entrepreneurship and protection of cultural heritage. Nevertheless, the development of the tourism industry has led to the aggravation of different problems such as environmental pollution, resource depletion, waste management problems, seasonal overpopulation and problems with local infrastructure. The current paper presents a systematic review of literature concerning socio-economic impacts and challenges associated with sustainable tourism in Leh. Literature has been chosen based on keyword searches in the main academic database, with about 120 publications identified in total. Based on their relevance, 90 peer-reviewed publications have been selected to provide a literature review of socio-economic impacts of tourism in Leh. The literature review focuses on such topics as motivation of tourists, choice of destination, tourist services quality, tourist satisfaction, border tourism, and sustainable tourism. Thus, the findings reveal that tourism has had a considerable influence on regional development, providing more job opportunities to local people. However, the sustainability of this industry is connected with certain measures to be undertaken.

 Abstract

The core aim of this paper is to implement the existential elements in the select works of Franz Kafka, such as The Metamorphosis and A Hunger Artist. Kafka's writing describes their profound engagement with the complexities of human existence, especially for the individual's struggle to construct meaning and identity in a different and irrational world. Here, in the paper, the scholar wants to apply existential tools such as alienation, identity crises, absurdity, meaninglessness, and isolation in selected works. The primary focus of this research is to study existential philosophy and its key elements, as well as to explore existential and modern crises in human life through the selected works of Kafka. Through the works of Franz Kafka, the researcher wants to study human life and its structure with selected existential tools. After applying these core elements to both works, the researcher will critically evaluate them based on the arguments of both protagonists. The writings of Franz Kafka highlight how his narrative reflects the universal condition of existential anxiety and the continuous search for identity and purpose in human life.

 Abstract

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), particularly arbitration, was introduced in India as a faster, cheaper, and less adversarial substitute for litigation. However, when the State or its instrumentalities are parties, standard-form government contracts frequently reserve unilateral power to appoint the arbitrator or ADR chair. Such clauses convert ADR from a neutral dispute resolution mechanism into a tool of outcome control. The Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Act, 2015 sought to correct this structural bias by inserting Section 12(5) and the Seventh Schedule, which make serving government employees and interested appointing authorities ineligible to act as arbitrators. Yet because the amendment has been held to be non-retrospective, a two-tier system of justice has emerged. Post-2015 contracts benefit from stricter neutrality norms, while pre-2015 contracts remain vulnerable to State-appointed employee arbitrators. Drawing on Indian case law and legislative history, this paper argues that the State's repeat-player advantage and old contractual clauses continue to undermine the legitimacy of ADR. The paper concludes that justice appears biased depending on who the parties are, and recommends institutional and legislative reforms to restore neutrality.

 Abstract

Marma vijnana forms one of the foundational and clinically significant domains of Rachana Shareera, integrating structural anatomy with the principle of vital, injury-sensitive points described in classical Ayurvedic texts. Among the Sandhi Marmas, Kurpara (elbow) and Janu (knee) occupy the joints connecting the proximal and distal segments of the upper and lower limbs respectively. This article compiles the classical descriptions of Kurpara and Janu Marma with respect to nirukti, panchabautikatva - based classification (Sankhya, Rachana, Shadanga, Pramana and Parinama bheda), the underlying anatomical structures, the consequences of injury (Viddha Lakshana), and correlates these with clinically recognised conditions of the elbow and knee, with the aim of presenting an integrated Ayurvedic and modern anatomical understanding of these two vital joints.

 Abstract

This publication offers an exhaustive multi-disciplinary analysis of the Ok Om Bok Festival and Ghe Ngo Boat Racing (Um Tuk Ngua), celebrated annually by the Khmer Krom ethnic minority in the Mekong Delta region of Southern Vietnam. Taking place during the full moon of the tenth lunar month, this dual ritual-secular celebration represents a critical locus of identity, Theravada Buddhist cosmology, agricultural reverence, and socio-political negotiation. Utilizing anthropological theories of performance, communal ritual analysis, and contemporary cultural heritage frameworks, this study unpacks the multi-layered significance of the festival. It traces the cosmological foundations of moon worship (Preah Cand), the sacred material culture and aerodynamics of the Ghe Ngo canoe, the complex web of community-monastic funding, and the modern transformation of local rituals into an internationally recognized canvas for intangible cultural heritage and state-sponsored tourism.
