 Abstract

The most prominent reasons for rising (DEA) funds are "unavailability of correct contact details of customers" and "unawareness among public". People often open accounts in multiple banks and tend to forget closure of accounts which are infrequently used. Banks are putting lots of efforts to reduce (DEA) fund however all their efforts get "lost in vain" when they either have incomplete or not updated contact details of the customers. New age technology like whats app banking and mobile banking, could be used for addressing the drivers leading to an increase in (DEA) fund. The research has gathered feedback from bankers handling unclaimed deposit accounts and reversal of it. Through focused interviews with bankers, it finds the root cause of rising (DEA) funds and problems faced by bankers and public in claiming back their lost fortune.

 Abstract

Swami Vivekananda, a spiritual luminary of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, envisioned education as the means to transform individuals into virtuous, self-aware, and socially responsible beings. His man-making education model prioritizes character development, moral values, and holistic growth, striking a harmonious chord with humanistic ideals. Humanistic education, rooted in the belief that individuals possess innate potential for growth and self-actualization, resonates remarkably with Vivekananda's vision of nurturing the latent divinity within each human being. Swami Vivekananda's educational principles emphasize the holistic development of individuals, encompassing intellectual growth, character formation, and spiritual enrichment. This research paper aims to investigate the role, core principles and relevance of Swami Vivekananda's man-making education philosophy in the contemporary educational system. Through a qualitative documentary analysis approach, I explore how his ideas have been disseminated and interpreted within the context of modern education. The findings of this research contribute to the ongoing discourse on educational reform, highlighting the enduring relevance of man-making education in fostering holistic personal development, self-actualization, and a sense of purpose in students. This research illuminates the powerful synthesis of humanistic education and Vivekananda's vision, reinforcing the significance of nurturing the innate potential within every individual. This synthesis offers a compelling blueprint for contemporary education, one that cultivates not just knowledgeable individuals but also compassionate and self-actualized human beings capable of making a positive impact on society.

 Abstract

University students often grapple with the transition from adolescence to adulthood, a period filled with various challenges and stressors that can lead to mental health issues, particularly depression and anxiety. The National Mental Health Survey of India (NMHS) in 2015-16 identified a significant prevalence of mood-related disorders affecting 5.8% of Indian adults and anxiety disorders affecting 3.9%. These findings underscore the pressing need to address mental health concerns among the younger population, including university students. To explore potential interventions, a study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of Mandala Art Therapy in alleviating depression, anxiety, stress, and enhancing resilience in this vulnerable group. The term "mandala" is rooted in Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language, where it combines "Manda" (meaning center) and "La" to signify accomplishment, reflecting the therapeutic approach's focus on inner balance and well-being. The study employed a rigorous methodology, obtaining ethical clearance from the Institutional Ethical Committee and selecting 30 participants who met specific inclusion criteria. These participants were then given a comprehensive explanation of the study's purpose and procedures, followed by instructions regarding the intervention protocol. Over the course of four weeks, participants engaged in eight sessions of Mandala Art Therapy, with a frequency of two sessions per week. The study measured four main variables, namely depression, anxiety, stress, and resilience, both before and after the intervention. The results of this study demonstrated a significant positive impact of Mandala Art Therapy on the mental well-being of university students. Furthermore, individual assessments of depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as their collective effect, exhibited statistically significant improvements from pre- to post-intervention. In conclusion, this research underscores the potential of Mandala Art Therapy as an effective tool in reducing depression, anxiety, and stress, while simultaneously enhancing resilience among university students. The findings provide valuable insights into the positive impact of this ancient therapeutic approach, offering a promising avenue for addressing the mental health issues that often accompany the significant life changes and expectations faced by young adults pursuing higher education.

Humans excel at face recognition, the challenges of automatic facial recognition persist, particularly in scenarios involving aging, partial occlusion, and facial expressions. This paper proposes a novel face recognition framework comprising three key phases: Pre-Processing, Feature Extraction, and Classification. In the Pre-Processing phase, we enhance contrast and convert RGB images to Grey Level to improve the quality of facial images. Feature extraction involves capturing shape and texture using Active Appearance Models (AAM). The subsequent Classification phase employs an optimized LCDRC model. The pivotal component in the LCDRC model is the projection matrix, which plays a crucial role in enhancing recognition accuracy. To address this, we introduce a new hybrid algorithm known as the Combined Whale Lion Model (CWLM). The performance of our proposed model is evaluated based on metrics such as Accuracy, False Positive Rate (FPR), and False Discovery Rate (FDR). Comparative analysis is conducted against other methods, including LC-DRC, LCDRC-WOA, and LCDRC-CEWO.
