 Abstract

Kapur's fictional realm is characterized by a notable prevalence of female characters who are shaped by the influences of contemporary education and progressive ideologies, as well as the accessibility of economic autonomy and career opportunities. They are confident in themselves and fearless enough to speak their minds openly about anything, including intimate topics like love, marriage, and family. Her imaginative and distinctive attempt to examine women's history from the past to the present and evaluate the state of the movement and its effects on society is reflected in the themes she explores in her novels. This study examines the portrayal of traumatised families and the pervasive effect of traditional patriarchal structures in Kapur's novel Difficult Daughters. By analysing the narratives and character dynamics within these literary works, this research aims to shed light on the complex interplay between personal trauma and societal norms, particularly in the context of Indian society.

On July 1, 2017, India introduced the Goods and Services Tax (GST), changing its taxation landscape dramatically. Designed to simplify indirect taxation and foster economic growth, the GST implementation aimed to streamline tax collection, eliminate tax cascading, and create a unified tax system. To comprehensively analyze the multifaceted impacts of GST on the Indian economy, this paper employs a mixed-method research approach. The paper evaluates the effects of the GST on economic indicators, sectoral performance, challenges encountered during implementation, and its overall contribution to the Indian economy's growth trajectory based on quantitative and qualitative insights, extensive literature review, and empirical evidence.

 Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the myths associated with the very famous shrine of Northern Andhra and to rediscover the truths regarding the Simhachalam shrine both mythologically and historically. In society, to date, many believe that Simhachalam was built by Vijayanagaras or Gajapatis. Also, mythologically though this shrine is accorded much significance, many own percepts which are far away from the historical truth are associated with this shrine. Percepts for research are collected from groups of devotees both from northern Andhra and other states. Many historical books and authentic sources were gone through to put forward the realities. Finally, this article tries to untangle the myths and disclose the realities regarding the Simhachalam temple both mythologically and historically.

 Abstract

A Soil Health Card is used to assess the current status of soil health and, when used over time, to determine changes in soil health that are affected by land management. A Soil Health Card displays soil health indicators and associated descriptive terms. The indicators are typically based on farmers' practical experience and knowledge of local natural resources. The card lists soil health indicators that can be assessed without the aid of technical or laboratory equipment. Soil Health Card (SHC) is a Government of India's scheme promoted by the Department of Agriculture & Co-operation under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare. It is being implemented through the Department of Agriculture of all the State and Union Territory Governments. Major Constraints in adopting the SHC recommendations were difficulty in understanding the information given in the soil health card and calculating fertilizer dose on the basis of nutrient status of soil, unscientific method of collecting soil samples. Regular trainings to the farmers on soil sample collection procedure followed by interpreting recommended dose of fertilizers will create the positive intent among the farmers in adopting the SHC recommendation for sustainable soil health management.

This Study is all about politics in Indian cricket system .The main aim of the study is to create awareness about to able. Descriptive research helps to portray accurately the characteristics of particular individual, situation or group. Convenience sampling method is used in this study to collect the samples.When population elements are selected for inclusion in the sample based on access is called convenience sampling.The statistical tool used is percentage analysis, which includes Independent sample t test, Chi-square, Correlation and ANOVA.The total number of responses collected in the survey is around 1337 .It was found that constitution makes it mandatory for the Government to protect and promote freedoms, and to assure every citizen a decent standard of living. In this study I have concluded that , is getting some traction, and demonstrates the powerful interconnections between sport, politics, international relations and soft power diplomacy. For sports organisations this gets uncomfortable: the sport-politics nexus is fine when it is positive, but problematic when negative. The International Cricket Council will be watching this closely and trying to prevent it becoming a major issue, because it has had bitter experiences with South Africa earlier and Zimbabwe more recently.

 Abstract

The depiction of any group in the media can have a positive or negative impact on that group. It is important to study the content of the media because the creator of media messages can stereotype a particular group of people such as minorities, age groups, race, gender, etc. The audience is influenced by the content of media, and they may form a particular view of a particular group. In India, cinema is a medium that has a huge audience. The content of films can sensitize people to treat senior citizens well, or it can create a negative view of them. This study was conducted to understand, how older characters (60+) are depicted in Hindi commercial cinema. It is a visual study; the researcher has used semiotic analysis to study the depiction of old characters. The character traits, objects, and the setting were observed. It was found that the depictions of older characters in the selected films were similar but due to the narrative, each one had some distinct characteristics of their own. The socioeconomic status of the characters also impacted their depiction.

Abstract : In the history of mankind celebrated women were not only affectionate mother and good housewives they not only served their husbands as devoted wifes and were worshiped as ideal women. The concept of the women's empowerment is the outcome of several important critiques and debates generated by the women's movement throughtout the world particularly by the third word faminists. The empowerment approach was first clearly articulated in 1985 by Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN) this term received prominence in early nineties in western countries. In the primitive society a time was there when men and women used to live mostly like animals without the institution of marriage. The Indian literature further high-light the fact that primitive men even Indo-Aryans, wanted to marry not out of sexual urge, but to assert their property right on women. As long as a women lived with a man and worked for him. She was considered his property.

 Abstract

The tradition of hand weaving is a part of our country's cultural heritage and symbolizes the ability of the weavers to design intricate artistic and attractive products by use of various kinds of handlooms. It may be noted that, India as a developing country in the world, where handloom is one of the largest economic industries for its innovations, productions, flexibility, promotions of individual weavers, and versatility as well. Among the states in India, Odisha has one of the richest traditions of handloom and handicrafts in the country, which goes back to the time of ancient period. Apart from that, handloom and handicrafts products of Odisha are appreciated all over the country and outside because of their unique and natural motifs, delicate designs, and aesthetical colour amalgamation. Odishan handloom products are known for their incorporation of some of the basic and known traditional motifs like wheels (chakra), shells (shankha), and which connected the towards tradition and culture through the deep concept of signs. These designs are derived from our ancient culture, tradition, folklore as well as mythologies like Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Jagannath culture of Odisha. Ikat of Odisha is woven with gem-colored, slightly-blurred motifs. Motif is the most basic unit with the help of which a design is created. At the same time, such motifs are frequently inspired by nature and are also closely linked to natural, daily life and socio-cultural-economic factors prevailing in any society.

 Abstract

One of the most significant elements that pose a significant risk to agricultural productivity is the presence of leaf diseases. Finding and naming diseases and pests as soon as they appear is one of the most effective ways to cut down on the financial damage they incur on the farmer. In this study, a convolutional neural network was utilized to automatically detect illnesses that might affect crops. Here we have taken an image dataset containing more than 20,000 images. Training is carried out with the help of the Inception-ResNet-v2 model. The direct edge in the cross-layer and the multi-layer convolution in the residual network unit of the model. Following the completion of the combined convolution process, it is triggered by the connection into the ReLu function. The experimental results suggest that this model achieves an overall recognition accuracy of 98.0%, which substantiates the claim that it is successful. Following the completion of this model's training, we developed and deployed the UI of agricultural disease and insect pest identification. After that, we began the real testing process. The findings demonstrate that the system is capable of correctly identifying crop illnesses so that the farmer can choose to suitable method to overcome the crop from the identified disease.
