In This Research, Generative AI Models Are Evaluated For Their Efficiency In Stock Market Predictions Compared To Traditional Models Such As Stock-GPT, Gans And LSTMS. Research Would Suggest Generative AI Models Can Boast Of Good Prediction Precision: Stockgpt Provides An Average Annual Return Of 119% With A Sharpe Ratio Of 6.5 During Back Testing Which Is Better Than Simple Econometric Models. These Models Can Follow The Floor Movements And Capture And Respond To Complex Interactions, Nonlinearities, Uncertainties, And Fluctuations Useful During Volatile Conditions Resulting In Better Risk-Adjusted returns And Investor decision-Making. However, Obstacles Persist And Are Fully Formed And Live In Detail. It Demonstrates That Model Biases Inherent In Dependence On Past Data Reduce Predictiveness In New Market Contexts. Furthermore, High Computational Demands Hinder The Availability Of Information For Smaller Firms And Individual Investors. Privacy And Data Ownership Issues And Truth And Regulations Also Pose More General Problems For The Broader Adoption Of Ethical Standards. Therefore, The Study Supports The Idea Of Generative AI As A Promising Prospect For The Stock Prediction Context And Views It As A Perspective For The Further Advancement Of Financial Analysis. Nevertheless, Several Challenges Need To Be Resolved To Work With Such Models More Responsibly: Computational Cost, Data Quality, And Ethics. It Is Suggested That Empirical Studies Be Proceeded With To Examine Immediate Use And To Set Up Moral Guidelines For AI Operations In Finance.

 Abstract

Agriculture has historically constituted the foundation of human subsistence systems, shaping settlement pattern, social organization and belief structures. Among indigenous communities agriculture practices are often embedded within ritual and religious frameworks that seek to regulate human nature relationships. Choekor is one such indigenous agricultural ritual observed among the Monpa community of Tawang district Arunachal Pradesh. The festival is celebrated after the sowing of crops and is aimed at ensuring protection of agricultural fields, prosperity of the village and overall wellbeing of the community. Etymologically, the term Choekor is derived from, choe (sacred Buddhist scriptures) and kor (circumambulation), signifying the ceremonial circulation of sacred texts around villages and farm lands. This paper documents the ritual process, symbolic dimensions and agricultural significance of Choekor based on ethnographic fieldwork and secondary sources. The study argues that Choekor represents an indigenous knowledge system that integrates Buddhist religious ideology, agricultural practice, ecological perception and community participation. In the context of rapid socio-economic transformations and declining traditional practices, the paper emphasizes the importance of Choekor as an element of intangible cultural heritage and a repository of traditional ecological knowledge among the Monpas.

 Abstract

River bank erosion and accretion are fundamental fluvial processes that control channel migration, floodplain development, and landscape evolution in large alluvial rivers. The River Ganga in the Prayagraj city exhibits pronounced lateral instability due to its meandering to braided planform, variable discharge, sediment load, and increasing anthropogenic interventions. This study examines the spatio-temporal dynamics of bank erosion, accretion, and stable banks along the River Ganga between 2002 and 2022 using multi-temporal satellite imagery and GIS-based overlay analysis. River channel boundaries were delineated for the years 2002, 2012, and 2022, and polygon overlay techniques were applied to quantify changes for the periods 2002-2012, 2012-2022, and the cumulative period 2002-2022. Results reveal that bank erosion remained the dominant process throughout the study period, accounting for 54.79% of the total bank area over two decades. However, a noticeable shift from erosion-dominated conditions (2002-2012) to enhanced accretion (2012-2022) was observed, indicating partial channel adjustment in recent years. The spatial patterns highlight intense erosion along outer meander bends and downstream reaches, while accretion is concentrated along inner bends, point bars, and abandoned channels. The findings emphasize sustained lateral channel migration and long-term bank instability in the Prayagraj city, with important implications for floodplain management, infrastructure planning, and riverbank protection strategies.

 Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out the effects of the yogic practices (yogasanas and pranayama) to improve the cardio-respiratory endurance ability among the college women kabaddi players. The data on selected variable was collected by using Harward Step Test . The data collected from the two groups before and after the experimental period were statistically examined for significant improvement by dependent 't' test. To make adjustments for difference in the initial means and to test the adjusted post test means for significant differences between two groups, the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used. In all the cases 0.05 level was fixed as significant level to test the hypothesis. The results proved that the practice of selected yogasanas and pranayama for twelve weeks by experimental group, the cardio-respiratory endurance ability was improved significantly. There was no improvement of cardio-respiratory endurance in the control group because they did not do additional practice of yogasanas and pranayama.
