 Abstract

The digital transformation of education demands robust and efficient solutions for managing critical administrative and instructional processes. The traditional, manual management of student academic results is inherently flawed, characterized by time-consuming procedures, a high susceptibility to human error, and significant delays in generating accurate student records and providing timely feedback. Addressing these limitations, this research paper presents the design and implementation of a Student Result Automation Management System (SRAMS), a comprehensive, web-based platform engineered for the dynamic management and sophisticated analysis of student data.The SRAMS is architecturally built upon the lightweight Flask web framework, utilizes a MongoDB NoSQL database for scalable and flexible data storage, and integrates the Google Gemini API to leverage advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities. This system transcends conventional methods by incorporating a powerful, spreadsheet-like interface for data entry, coupled with an automated calculation engine that performs complex grading computations in real-time, ensuring immediate accuracy and consistency.The core functionality is segmented to serve both educators and students. For teachers and administrators, the system provides a seamless, unified tool for grade management, automatic report generation, and insightful analysis of class performance trends, significantly reducing manual workload. A key feature is the system's ability to ingest and process academic data from diverse sources with high precision. For students, the system offers a secure, personalized portal to instantly view their results and access an integrated, AI-driven study assistant that provides tailored feedback and support.By automating data handling, complex calculations, and reporting, the SRAMS directly addresses the need for a reliable, efficient, and intelligent result management solution. Its su-ccessful implementation demonstrates a significant stride towards optimizing educational administration, enhancing data integrity, and improving the feedback loop between educators and students, thereby setting a new standard for modern academic record-keeping.

 Abstract

Introduction: Different aspects of Arunachal Pradesh's development influenced the way development was accomplished over time: geographical isolation; small population; and the absence of adequate means of transportation. Originally, Arunachal Pradesh was located in an area of India that was very poorly connected and isolated from other parts of India, but with the recent construction of numerous major transport ways (roads, railways, and airports), there has been a gradual improvement in Arunachal Pradesh's connection to the National Development process. Objective of the Study: To examine how Arunachal Pradesh has changed throughout the first quarter of 21st Century. Methodology: This study utilizes both descriptive and analytical methodologies in order to provide a narrative account of the major changes in Arunachal Pradesh, as they relate to Development. Additionally, this study offers an analytical perspective on the Development Divergence occurring in Arunachal Pradesh, as it has developed under the two separate Government Administrations of Prime Ministers Manmohan Singh and Narendra Modi. Findings and Discussion: Arunachal Pradesh is presently experiencing a significant transformation with respect to development, particularly since the BJP took control of the Central Government in 2014 and expanded their Political Power throughout Arunachal Pradesh. Conclusion: Arunachal Pradesh represents the end of the previous pattern of development - slow geographic development; rather the recent developments illustrate an increasing rate of Infrastructure development towards strategic integration, socio-economic transformation and other types of investment capital.

 Abstract

The historical foundation of the secular state in India is a unique blend of ancient traditions of pluralism, reform movements, the anti-colonial freedom struggle, and specific constitutional decisions made by its founding fathers. Unlike the Western concept of a strict separation between church and state, the Indian model emphasizes equal respect for all religions and state neutrality. The roots of secularism in India are deeply embedded in its multi-religious history, which long predates the modern concept. Ancient Tolerance: In ancient India, diverse philosophies, including theistic and atheistic schools of thought, coexisted peacefully. Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE was one of the first rulers to advocate not only for the toleration of all religious sects but also for developing respect toward them, a principle articulated in his 12th Rock Edict and Medieval Pluralism: The medieval era saw the rise of the inclusive Bhakti and Sufi movements, led by saints like Kabir and Guru Nanak, which promoted unity and universal brotherhood across religious boundaries. The Mughal Emperor Akbar institutionalized religious tolerance through policies like abolishing the jizya (a discriminatory tax on non-Muslims), appointing Hindus to high offices, and sponsoring interfaith debates in his Ibadat Khana (House of Worship). The atmosphere throughout ancient India was more or less, one of toleration and religious liberty. In ancient India the promotion of Dharma (law, duty, morality, and religion) was regarded as the foremost aim of the state. The King was expected to encourage piety and virtue and to aid religious institutions. Government was not based on dogma and considerable impartiality was evidenced in the treatment accorded the various sects.

 Abstract

The concept of Soundarya in Ayurveda transcends mere physical appearance, emphasizing the harmonious integration of body, mind, and spirit as the true essence of beauty. The Charaka Samhita presents a comprehensive vision of aesthetics through its detailed descriptions of Dinacharya (daily regimen), Rtucharya (seasonal regimen), and rejuvenative therapies such as Rasayana, alongside external applications including Lepa (herbal paste), Abhyanga (oil massage), and Mukhalepa (facial applications), all of which enhance complexion, luster, and vitality. These references reveal the classical Ayurvedic understanding of beauty as an outcome of internal wellness, dosha equilibrium, and mindful external care. Thus, the Charaka Samhita articulates an enduring and holistic perspective on Soundarya--one that harmonizes aesthetics with health, longevity, and psychological well-being.

 Abstract

Efficient highway route planning requires minimizing construction cost, reducing environmental disturbance, and adapting to complex terrain conditions--tasks that traditional GIS-based and manual planning methods often struggle to accomplish. This study presents a comprehensive review of satellite image-driven techniques for highway route optimization using high-resolution imagery collected from Google Earth. A set of 25 peer-reviewed studies published between 2019 and 2024 are analysed to examine advancements in deep learning-based semantic segmentation, terrain analysis, and multi-objective optimization algorithms. The survey highlights modern approaches such as U-Net-based land cover classification, graph-based shortest-path algorithms, and multi-criteria decision-making frameworks that enable the identification of eco-friendly and cost-efficient high- way alignments. Key challenges--including data preprocessing complexity, regulatory constraints, and the lack of real-time adaptability--are discussed in detail. The findings also outline promising future directions in AI-driven geospatial modelling, automated environmental impact assessment, and sustainable route planning. This review serves as a valuable reference for researchers and policymakers seeking environmentally conscious and technically reliable highway route optimization solutions using satellite imagery from platforms like Google Earth.

 Abstract

The judiciary and the legal profession together constitute the foundation of constitutional governance and the rule of law. Their credibility determines not only the effectiveness of justice delivery but also the moral authority of the State. While historically both institutions were regarded as noble and service-oriented, contemporary realities reveal challenges such as delay, commercialization, ethical decline, and institutional overload. This research article critically examines the evolution of the judiciary and the legal profession in India across three temporal dimensions--past, present, and future. Through doctrinal analysis, judicial observations, comparative perspectives, and reform-oriented critique, the paper argues that the crisis facing the justice system is not merely procedural but ethical and cultural. The study concludes that meaningful reform requires ethical revitalization of the legal profession, structural judicial reforms, quality legal education, and enhanced civic responsibility.

 Abstract

Industrial environments require continuous mon itoring of multiple environmental parameters to ensure the safety of personnel and infrastructure. Conventional monitoring systems often present raw sensor readings without meaningful interpretation, limiting their effectiveness in real-world safety applications. This paper presents HazardSense, a centralized Internet of Things (IoT)-based environmental safety monitor ing system designed to interpret multi-sensor data and assess environmental risk conditions. The system integrates gas, tem perature, humidity, flame, and light sensors using an ESP32 microcontroller and processes the collected data to classify safety conditions based on predefined thresholds. Instead of focusing solely on individual sensor outputs, HazardSense correlates sensor readings to determine severity levels and provide action able safety insights. Experimental evaluation under controlled conditions demonstrates the system's ability to identify unsafe environmental states and support early warning mechanisms. The proposed approach offers a cost-effective, scalable, and practical solution for enhancing situational awareness in industrial and indoor environments.

 Abstract

The mass media is perceived as a fourth pillar of a nation. The journalistic profession is seen as a tool to report the facts and question the injustice happenings in the society. In this male dominated field, women's participation and their achievements are inevitable. Since ancient times, women have displayed their remarkable ability in reporting the human rights violations, corruptions, and also investigative reporting. In 2021 the World Press Freedom Index had ranked India at 142 out of 180 countries. The reporters face physical harassments to murder due to multiple challenges and social stigma. The reason for the ranking in the world press freedom can be said due to the vilification of the journalist, police cases against them, defamation and sedition suits etc. In case of women, they face more challenges in this profession. According to Reporters without Borders there has been a 35% rise in women journalists being sent to prison for their work worldwide. It also includes, gender bias, disparity in pay package, intimidation, violence of sexual nature, threats to their families, trolls, and the like. Reporters are required to seek judicial help for their safety. There are many case studies of the struggles that the women journalist has faced and enduring. The situation of women journalists is contrary in the present time. On one side, there is a strong participation of women in media. But at the same time, the safety and their professional growth is a questionable one. There are many successful women journalists in the country who have paved their way to the top. In this study, the researcher tried to understand the real time challenges in this journalism field through qualitative method. It will also provide the suggestion for the women reporters to make a mark in this male dominated profession.

 Abstract

Alcohol impairment poses significant risks in recreational activities like go-karting, jeopardizing the safety of participants and bystanders alike. Addressing this concern, this project focuses on implementing an innovative solution: an alcohol detection system with go-kart ignition locking. From keeping people safe on the roads to keeping tabs on them in hospitals and offices, alcohol detection systems are essential. Potential harms linked to alcohol intake can be better identified and prevented with its aid. By including a high-tech alcohol detection system with a NodeMCU (ESP8266) microcontroller, this project aims to improve safety measures in go-karting conditions. The system's goal is to allow for control and monitoring of the go-kart igniting process in real-time via the use of an alcohol sensor, a relay module, and an LCD display. If the go-kart driver is in the area of a potential source of alcohol vapours, the alcohol sensor will sound an alarm. When it senses that someone is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the NodeMCU will activate the relay module, which will then lock the go-kart's ignition system. Intuitive and transparent, the LCD screen provides real-time feedback on the alcohol detection status, allowing users and operators to respond quickly.

 Abstract

This analysis examines the socio-spiritual contributions of the Vivekananda Kendra, a "spiritually oriented service mission" founded on the ideals of Swami Vivekananda. Central to the organization's mission are the twin concepts of "Man-making" and "Nation-building." This paper explores how the Kendra translates these philosophical abstractions into tangible social action through its diverse projects in education, rural development, sustainable technology, and yoga. Through a critical analysis, the research evaluates the Kendra's unique organizational structure, which emphasizes lay leadership over traditional monastic models, and its ideological synthesis of Vedantic spirituality with grassroots social service. The study further assesses the impact of its key initiatives, such as the Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalayas (VKVs) and the Natural Resources Development Project (VK-NARDEP), in fostering national integration and self-reliance. While the organization successfully mobilizes youth and promotes cultural consciousness, the analysis also addresses the challenges of maintaining ideological consistency in a pluralistic society and the critiques regarding its alignment with broader socio-political movements. Ultimately, the paper argues that the Kendra serves as a significant modern vehicle for "Applied Vedanta," though its long-term success depends on balancing traditional values with contemporary social shifts.

 Abstract

Wound healing is a dynamic, multifaceted biological process essential for restoring tissue integrity following injury. This comprehensive review examines wound classification by duration, depth, contamination, and etiology, alongside major types including traumatic, surgical, burn, pressure, venous, arterial, diabetic, and mixed ulcers. The physiological phases hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling are detailed at cellular and molecular levels, highlighting dysregulation in chronic wounds due to persistent inflammation, impaired angiogenesis, biofilm formation, and oxidative stress. Standard management follows the TIME framework (Tissue debridement, Infection control, Moisture balance, Edge advancement), with type-specific strategies such as compression for venous ulcers, offloading for diabetic foot ulcers, and revascularization for arterial wounds. Advanced adjunctives, including negative-pressure therapy and hyperbaric oxygen, are discussed. Emerging regenerative approaches focus on bioactive hydrogels, stem cell-derived exosomes, and nanoparticle integrations, which modulate inflammation, promote angiogenesis, and enhance extracellular matrix remodeling for improved outcomes in chronic and diabetic wounds. These innovations, including stimuli-responsive systems and exosome-laden scaffolds, represent promising cell-free therapies to accelerate repair and minimize scarring.

Financial literacy is essential for young adults as they begin to manage their own finances in an increasingly complex economic environment. This study examines financial literacy levels and their determinants among non-professional undergraduate students in Latur City using a structured questionnaire aligned with the framework of the National Institute of Securities Markets. The findings indicate a moderate level of financial literacy, with commerce students and female students showing slightly higher financial awareness than others. However, gender and field of study do not have a significant influence on financial literacy, suggesting that knowledge gaps are broadly distributed across student groups. Given the rapid expansion of digital financial services and growing access to credit in India, this moderate literacy levels raise concerns about students' vulnerability to poor financial decisions and digital financial risks. The study recommends integrating financial literacy education into undergraduate curricula across all disciplines, emphasising both knowledge and practical application, and strengthening institutional partnerships to promote responsible financial behaviour among young adults.

 Abstract

The Rythu Bandhu Scheme (RBS), introduced by the Government of Telangana, is a pioneering direct investment support programme aimed at strengthening agricultural productivity and ensuring financial security for farmers. This study examines farmers' perceptions and levels of satisfaction with the Rythu Bandhu Scheme in Telangana State. Adopting a descriptive and analytical research design, the study is based on primary data collected from a sample of 300 farmers selected through a stratified random sampling technique from different districts of Telangana. The study analyzes farmers' awareness levels, utilization patterns, perceived benefits, and challenges associated with the scheme. The findings reveal that the Rythu Bandhu Scheme has significantly contributed to timely agricultural investment, reduced farmers' dependence on informal credit sources, and enhanced confidence in agricultural activities. A majority of the respondents expressed satisfaction with the scheme due to direct income support and ease of access. However, certain challenges persist, including the exclusion of tenant farmers, inaccuracies in land records, and occasional delays in fund disbursement. The study concludes that while the Rythu Bandhu Scheme has positively impacted farmers' livelihoods and strengthened agricultural sustainability, policy refinements, improved land record management, and inclusive coverage are essential to enhance its overall effectiveness and long-term success.

 Abstract

Background: Competency-based medical education (CBME) has been globally recognized as an effective strategy for aligning clinical training with measurable outcomes and patient safety standards [4-6]. Shalya Tantra, the surgical discipline of Ayurveda, is historically grounded in classical treatises such as the Sushruta Samhita. While these texts provide detailed surgical doctrines, conventional pedagogy has remained predominantly theory-oriented, limiting the development of measurable surgical competencies. The introduction of the Competency-Based Dynamic Curriculum (CBDC) by the National Commission for Indian Systems of Medicine (NCISM) represents a paradigm shift toward outcome-driven education emphasizing procedural proficiency, ethical practice, and clinical reasoning. [12,13] Objective: This study aimed to analyze the alignment of the Shalya Tantra CBDC syllabus with NCISM competency mandates and to evaluate the effectiveness of innovative teaching-learning strategies in improving surgical skills, ethical decision-making, and learner engagement. Methods: A mixed-methods design was adopted, comprising (1) qualitative content analysis of undergraduate and postgraduate Shalya Tantra syllabi, (2) a three-round Delphi survey among experienced educators, and (3) a pilot implementation of simulation-based training assessed through Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs). Quantitative data were analyzed using nonparametric statistical methods. Results: Curriculum mapping demonstrated comprehensive alignment between course outcomes and program outcomes across eight modules. Delphi consensus (85%) supported simulation, problem-based learning (PBL), and team-based learning (TBL) as superior to didactic lectures. Pilot OSCE scores showed a statistically significant improvement in procedural competence (median increase from 52% to 78%; p < 0.001). Ethical communication and emergency decision-making competencies also improved markedly. Conclusion: The CBDC framework significantly enhances surgical proficiency and ethical preparedness in Shalya Tantra education. Structured simulations, OSCE-based assessments, and experiential learning ratios effectively bridge classical Ayurvedic principles with contemporary clinical expectations. National-scale implementation and longitudinal outcome research are strongly recommended.
