 Abstract

This paper discusses the influence of cultural and racial conflicts, as portrayed in the novels of Manohar Malgonkar, with special reference to Open Season. The spread of western style industrial societies across the globe has suppressed many unique cultural features of the people of different countries. This inevitably means that cultural differences are responsible for a great deal of conflict, confusion and hostility, when people of different countries come into contact with one another. The unique racial and cultural groups of one country face difficulties in tracing their roots and identity, when they try to settle in not so friendly environment of another country. Hence, this paper explores the theme of East-West conflict in Open Season. It is through characters--both Indian and Western--that he portrays different aspects of the conflict. He had also taken care to show that, when it comes to the real values of life, East and West not only reconcile and resolve themselves, but something like a new culture incorporating laudable qualities of both the cultures seems to emerge.

In present scenario proprietors requirement highly skilled graduates with a variability of capability and qualities as defined by the subject and graduate degree class. The major contests for graduates to join the field of employment are the discrepancy in training for graduates and proficiency available at work. The organizations have a concern with their graduates' placements. Unwarranted availability, shortage of basic education, a weak job antiquity, inexpert teaching facilities and, most remarkably, lack of realistic and problemsolving potential is the key factors for drying up placement opportunities. "Employability" should not only speak to work development. Employability skills awareness may also be described as 'skills' needed not only to obtain work, but also to advance within an organization in order to reach its capacity and effectively contributes to strategic goals of the business. This paper divergences the grade of occupational and students with a selection of skills awareness for start-up employment. The main aim of paper is to analyze level of employability skills awareness among undergraduates.

 Abstract

In the current pandemic situation, ensuring the health and safety of employees in industries is a major concern for organizations. The smooth operation of industries depends on human resources, and the spread of Covid-19 within a workplace can lead to significant losses for the organization. When employees get infected with Covid-19, the organization has to operate with fewer workers, impacting overall productivity. It's crucial to consistently monitor social distancing and health parameters of employees to prevent further spread of the Covid-19 virus. In this proposed project, we aim to create a smart health monitoring system using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The system involves using RFID and cloud monitoring to maintain social distance and keep track of various health parameters. We also suggest incorporating wearable devices to monitor important health metrics like body temperature, heart rate, position, and SpO2 of workers. These devices will alert workers if social distancing is not maintained. The system is designed to detect any abnormalities in health parameters and notify authorities about such conditions. Thus the proposed system offers smart health monitoring solutions to industries, helping to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and sustain productivity.

Automated guided vehicles are working in nearly every industry which includes pulp, paper, metals, newspaper, and general manufacturing. This paper is about the design and development of electric automatic guided vehicle which is an initiative towards the automation. In Rajarambapu Institute of Technology there are different facilities. As a result of large campus, facilities are situated far from each other. If anyone who is visiting the institute campus will require a lot time to roam around all the facilities by walking. Considering this problem, we are developing an electric automated guided vehicle which will trace a pre-defined path and carry the passenger from one place to another as per their own choice within the campus. This paper describes different modules such as drive control, steering control, obstacle detection, power supply control, human machine interface, camera and single board computer which will be implemented in AGV. Implementation details of different functionality like video capture, color detection, masking, edge detection and shape detection are described in paper.

 Abstract

The relation between local self-government bodies and state assemblies forms the backbone of democratic governance. Local self government bodies are empowered to manage local affairs, allocate resources, and make decisions that directly impact their respective communities . They underscores the importance of community participation, decentralised governance, and addressing local needs tailored to the specific socio-economic and cultural context of the region. Effective functioning of these local government bodies marks the development of the state. In present days , State governments are not willing to devolve power to the local bodies , which affects or reduces the importance and the role of existing local self government bodies in the country. The objective of my research is to know whether local self government bodies effectively communicate the needs of your community to the state assembly and to find the major challenge that affects the interaction between local government and the State Assembly. Sample frame is 200. Major findings in this research is that local government bodies exist in Tamilnadu where they do not have an effective relation with the state assembly due to no strong bond between the members in local self government bodies and the members of legislative assembly in their constituency. And the major challenge which affects the relation between them are inadequate representation to voice for local issues and political instability. From this research , researcher have concluded that platforms established must be done in an effective manner in all territories within the state to address the local issues to the state assembly. Educating citizens about the role of local self government and their rights , responsibilities and coordination with members in local government can create an effective way to address the local issues to the state assembly.

 Abstract

The theory of "Rule of Law" is used worldwide. However, the meaning of this theory varies, depending on several factors such as geography and history etc... This article provides a brief overview of how the concept of Rule of Law is understood in the context of state political morality especially in countries like India, which is a developing nation. The research confirms that the concept, which originates from the West, is used and perceived quite differently in the India in context of state political morality. In there is conflict and contradictions between upholding the Rule of Law and adopting Ethical principles. Some of Laws or government actions might be legally permissible but ethically unjust and there is a need to balance the necessity and maintaining the rule of law and ethical standards creates a significant dilemma. Rule of law should be used as an instrument to uphold the state political morality in the present political era and not otherwise. The concept of 'Rule of law' is a building block of our modern democratic society. 'Rule of Law' considered as in today's context that it is neither a ' rule' nor a 'law' rather it is a doctrine of 'State political morality' which maintains a correct balance between the rights and powers between the individuals and the State to make it a free and civil society.

 Abstract

Many e-commerce sellers are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that depend on these platforms to expand their customer base and broaden their market reach. Highlighting the competitive advantage of e-commerce firms is advantageous for these small players as it enhances their income possibilities and boosts their competitiveness in the export market. Limiting discounts may hinder the government's endeavours to support local vendors and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), impeding their digital accessibility and expansion. According to a survey by Deloitte India this year, it is a fallacy that e-commerce discounts are causing the decline of retail in India. In reality, only approximately 15 per cent of the population in India purchases items through digital markets. Instead of implementing stringent policies, advocating for equitable pricing structures and strict quality requirements would be beneficial. Furthermore, matters about competition should undergo a comprehensive discussion with market regulators such as the CCI to guarantee the implementation of fair and equitable regulations. One can also include international legislation on deep discounting, such as those in the EU and Australia. These rules apply to any need, not only e-commerce or digital markets. Promoting worker and supplier fairness in negotiations with large firms or internet platforms may benefit. When network effects are present, and it is difficult to disassemble large corporations, antitrust rules that protect significant technological companies' intellectual property rights can help combat market dominance. Competition drives market outcomes and affects inclusion in many ways. More than economic growth is at stake. It also affects how corporations allocate profits and how employees receive wages. It can also affect workers' labour market negotiations and firms' supply chain negotiations. It also affects the comparative costs of certain things, disproportionately affecting people experiencing poverty, such as food and communication. Competition can affect income and productivity growth by shaping the economy and incentivizing or discouraging investment and innovation, such as in intellectual property. Competition is essential for long-term, widespread economic growth, which is necessary for inclusive growth. The government must protect consumers, and the industry will put any effort into cooperation. However, worries are growing that specific planned e-commerce law reforms could constrain corporate operations too much and not safeguard consumers sufficiently. In this paper, we will look at the evolving legal landscape of e-commerce via the lenses of consumer protection, data privacy, intellectual property, and jurisdictional concerns w.r.t fair competition and technological advancement.

 Abstract

One of the key metrics for measuring the progress of society is the Block Human Development Index (BHDI). Here, the relevant blocks demonstrated their performance from 2005-2006 to 2014-2015. By using the Iterative Average Correlation Method (IACM) to assign the correct weights to its underlying dimensions, we have attempted to create the composite Block Human Development Index (BHDI) of the Kharagpur sub-division of West Bengal across the research period. The Health Index (HI), Educational Index (EI), and Standard of Living Index (SLI) dimensions are used to create the BHDI, and IACM was used to determine their relative weights, which are 45.72%, 30.88%, and 23.41%, respectively. GIS tool is employed to determine the geographical variation of BHDI in the Kharagpur sub-division. The highest growth rate is calculated for Dantan-I block (3.78), followed by Narayangar block (3.50) during the study period. The lowest growth rate is calculated for Kharagpur -I block (1.33), followed by Debra block (1.96) in Kharapur sub-division. Results also indicated that the main causes of this variety are income disparity, poor access to healthcare, the school dropout rate, and lack of cultural awareness.

 Abstract

The most common form of human communication, comprising of structured and conventionally used words delivered through speech, writing or gesture are called language. A language is a device that establishes sound- meaning correlation, pairing meaning with signals to enable people to exchange ideas through observable sequences of sounds"[Ronald W. Langacker, language & its structure, 1967]. The sweetness of any language can be understood from the way it is spoken. The language of the Indigenous of Tripura theirs is known as Kokborok. The origin of the word Kokborok is derived from the combination of two words 'Kok' and 'Borok'. Literally, Kokborok means, "Language of the people or community" so the word Kokborok stands for humans language. Kokborok is spoken in the Indian state of Tripura. It belongs to the Tibetan-Burmese wide group of language and more precisely to the Bodo- Garo Subgroup. This Language has several dialects and sub- dialects. At the time various British Political Agents, District Officers, Sub- Division Officers were known as linguists - they called this language as Tipperh, Tipura, Tipra Language. So far, the term Kokborok is known first occured as 'Kok- boro' in 1897/98 in an early primer on the language, Daulat Ahmed 'Kokboroma. In 1900, Thakur Radhamohan Debbarma spelt 'Kokborok' in a published grammar of the Language.

 Abstract

This paper critically examines the role of Neo neoliberalism in shaping environmental policy and its implications for sustainability. Neo neoliberalism, characterized by a blend of market-oriented principles and state intervention, has emerged as a dominant approach to addressing environmental challenges within the context of globalization and economic liberalization. Drawing on theoretical frameworks from political economy, environmental governance, and sustainability studies, this paper seeks to unpack the tensions and contradictions inherent in Neo neoliberal approaches to environmental policy. The paper argues that this approach gives rise to a sustainability dilemma, wherein short-term economic interests often take precedence over long-term environmental sustainability goals.

The term "misinformation" refers to the passing of wrong/incorrect information within the social network of humans. In the contemporary lingua, it is referred to as "fake news". This social phenomenon has historical roots, with different forms of expression in the larger social at different times in history. However, we shall particularly investigate its contemporary manifestation in the Indian social context. With the advent of information and communication technology at a large scale in the 21st century, and even further to present-day (rapidly evolving) artificial intelligence, the extent of geospatial and diverse (in terms of the targeted audience) outreach of fake news is increasing day-by-day. The Indian society, being so complex and diverse both in qualitative and quantitative aspects has given this phenomenon fertile grounds to proliferate. Evidently, we can observe the manifestations of misinformation and disinformation in the various dimensions of Indian society, namely political, economic (financial), cultural (including religious matters) and so on.

The utilizing of iron fillings in concrete as a partial replacement of sand is attaining enormous significance nowadays, mostly because of improvement in strength of concrete and environmental benefits. The aim of study is to assess the possibility of applying iron waste in different percentage (20%,25%,30%,35%) as fine aggregate replacement of sand to increase the strength of concrete. For this purpose, the mix proportion was designed as M20 (1:1.5:3) for giving the compressive strength. To achieve the goal of study, laboratory experiments, compressive strength and split tensile strength were conducted to determine the influence of iron filling sand the strength of concrete. As the result, Higher content of iron fillings particle replaced in concrete increases workability of concrete. Using iron fillings with 35% of replacement of fine aggregate gives the higher strength than normal concrete mix. Addition of iron fillings in concrete increases the strength characteristics of concrete.
