 Abstract

A deals on accident detection, wherein we identify the characteristic attributes of objects in addition to detecting them as belonging to a class. More precisely, our goal is concurrently identifying the status of item class bounding boxes--safe, harmful, or crashed--and their detection on roadways. In order to accomplish this, we create a brand-new dataset and suggest a baseline technique for comparing accident detection tasks. Our Attention R-CNN accident detection network is designed with two streams: one for computing characteristic properties and the other for object detection with classes. We incorporate global contexts that are taken advantage of from the scene into the stream for object detection as an attention mechanism that gathers contextual information in the scene.

 Abstract

This study delves into the vital role of forest resources in sustaining livelihoods among tribal communities in the Jangalmahal region of Sarenga block, Bankura district, West Bengal, India. Amidst dry-deciduous forests, Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) such as Sal leaves, Mahua flowers, fuelwood, and fodder emerge as lifelines, offering economic resilience for forest-dependent households facing agricultural uncertainties and climate challenges. Drawing on primary data from 92 households collected in 2023 via structured surveys, focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and secondary sources, the research employs a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative analysis using Python-based tools (e.g., descriptive statistics, correlation, OLS regression, paired t-tests and Gini coefficients) quantifies contributions, while qualitative insights explore socio-economic dynamics. Key findings reveal that forest resources account for 20.21% of total household income (mean Rs. 7,583 annually), ranking third after agriculture and labor. NTFPs drive 63.73% of forest earnings, generating 81.4 mandays of self-employment per household (Rs. 4,845/year), far outpacing seasonal direct employment from the Forest Department (13.45 mandays, Rs. 2,757/year). Regression shows each NTFP manday yields Rs. 60 in income, with NTFPs reducing income inequality by 15% (Gini drop from 0.20 to 0.17). The study underscores NTFPs' potential for poverty alleviation and biodiversity conservation through sustainable practices. Policy recommendations include formalizing markets, capacity building, expanding Joint Forest Management, and climate-adaptive strategies to elevate NTFP contributions to 30-40% of income, fostering inclusive development for marginalized tribes like Santhals.

 Abstract

The philosophy of Mahatma Ghandhi is most powerful and relevant in Indian context. Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of truth, non-violence, and moral politics continues to hold significance in the present-day political arena. In an era marked by rising authoritarianism, corruption, identity-based conflicts, and environmental crises, Gandhian principles offer an ethical alternative that emphasizes decentralization, participatory governance, communal harmony, and sustainable development. This paper explores the relevance of Gandhian thought in modern democratic politics, analyses its application in movements across the globe, and examines how it can shape ethical governance and people-centered leadership today. As long as there is strife, hostilities, ethnic cleansing, religious unrest, internal conflicts and threats of military occupation, people will turn to Gandhi. His usefulness will not end unless conflict ceases.

Narrative communication is the process of conveying information through storytelling, aiming to engage audience emotionally and rationally. It involves structuring information into a coherent narrative with a proper beginning, middle and end, including characters, setting, and conflict, to create a relatable memorable experience. With the help of suitable narrative strategies, the speaker can easily get connected with the audience. The present research paper makes a critical survey of Indian English Novel before 1980 from the point of form, communicative and narrative techniques. Such a brief survey will help to study how the Indian writers in English have employed the art of narration to communicate their thoughts and stories in the novel form, which is a borrowed form of literature from the West. A brief survey of Indian English novel before 1980 from the point of view of narrative and communicative techniques is also helpful to provide the knowledge of the narrative techniques employed by the novelists to express their views, their contribution to the Indian English novel and to find out the main trends in the novelistic techniques employed by the novelists before 1980.

 Abstract

This research focuses on the development of choreography in the context of Manipuri dance's evolution through the modern theatrical works of Poushali Chatterjee and Dr. Bimbavati Devi. Manipuri dance, a classical form from the northeastern state of India, is traditionally devotional and ritualistic. It has, however, undergone transformative change, through innovative choreography, in its socio-cultural, and political expressions. The research studies how both choreographers integrate classical forms of Laiharaoba, Lasya, Tandav, Thang-ta, and Cholom with thematic variations to convey strong statements in imaginative ways. Chatterjee's works, such as Sama, Pata-Katha, Parichay, and Malemgi Wari have a focus on harmonious existence, environmental degradation, and reinterpretation of mythology. She commonly utilizes Thang-ta to express imbalance and destruction, whereas movements from Laiharaoba and Cholom symbolize hope. Footprints in Blood captures the essence of Manipuri dance as a mode of women's resistance, reclaiming the art from contemporary turmoil and historical violence. Thang-ta is employed for empowerment and justice, particularly when depicting female warriors and goddesses. The paper closes by noting that both of the choreographers, in their individual viewpoints, have Manipuri dance expanded within its scope of expression, reaffirming its importance in contemporary societies and considering it a notable instrument for cultural critique and change.

 Abstract

This study explores the origins and evolution of Human Resource Development (HRD) and its role in economic progress, providing a comprehensive definition of this multidisciplinary concept at both micro and macro levels. HRD is fundamentally an economic concept but extends traditional economic paradigms by allocating investment resources to enhance human inputs, which are predominantly social in nature. While this marks progress towards a more holistic development model, it falls short of achieving true human development. This limitation arises from resource allocation being solely based on economic criteria, often marginalizing society's most vulnerable groups. The paper examines the macro-level HRD scenario in India, emphasizing that rigid economic criteria should not govern HRD strategies in contexts of underdevelopment. Finally, it identifies several urgent measures required to strengthen HRD in India to address these challenges effectively.

 Abstract

In literary criticism the last decades of the twentieth century have been particularly fruitful, since the rise of the New Criticism in the 1950s, which focused the attention of critics and readers upon the text itself. There has emerged a whole variety of critical methods which have brought a rich diversity of perspectives, social, historical, political, psychological, economic, ideological and philosophical, while attention to the text itself as thought by the new critics remains at the core of contemporary interpretation, the widely shared assumption that works of art generate many different kinds of interpretations has opened up possibilities for new readings and new meanings.

 Abstract

The entertainment industry has traditionally used women's bodies and sexuality as a means of increasing revenue and sales. Nonetheless, the perspective used to portray women's bodies and sexuality has evolved over time. In the past, women's bodies were commercialized and utilized as an instrument of drawing attention and boosting sales for movies and products. However, the idea of the abusive exploitation and sexual objectification of the female body in films and advertisements has been criticized as a result of the recent emphasis on women's equality and emancipation. As a result, a new era of commodity feminism, or femvertising, has begun. The objective of this research paper is to study a few Indian films from the beginning of this century made with feminist characters and agendas at its core, in order to investigate the efficacy and motivations behind the use of feminism as a marketing technique.

 Abstract

Borders and boundaries, drawn for political or geographical reasons tend to separate one nation from the other thereby giving rise to the concepts of nation, nationality and nationhood. There seem to be incredulity and ludicrousness about the concept of partition as they create a sense of 'false nationalism' which leads to nothing but chaos. This painful exodus causes immense torture- both mental and physical- which in turn destroys a person's world, identity and voice. Amitav Ghosh's novel, The Shadow Lines not only focuses on the cruel aspect of partition which is undoubtedly as harrowing as Holocaust but at the same clarifies that borders and boundaries that separate people are mere 'shadow', nothing more than artificial lines created by politicians. Therefore, it is author's contention in this novel that these borders are fictive and illusive and they tend to negate the very reason behind their ostensible existence. Being a memory novel it triggers nostalgia and at the same time sketches a few historical events like the partition of India in 1947, freedom movement of Bengal and communal riots in Bangladesh. Ghosh makes visible the bodily and psychic violence caused by these historical events in which people become disoriented and completely lose sense of home. It eventually leads to the breakdown of families, loss of identity, madness and merciless killing of innocent people. Furthermore, the narrator shuttles between past and present symbolizing that we cannot demarcate space and time. Therefore the author appeals for a border less universe- universe divided by shadow lines.

 Abstract

Agile development methodologies have transformed the landscape of software engineering, emphasizing iterative progress, collaboration, and flexibility. This study explores the impact of agile development strategies on team productivity, focusing on how these approaches affect performance, efficiency, and overall output in software development teams. Agile methodologies, including Scrum, Kanban, and Extreme Programming (XP), have become popular due to their iterative nature and ability to adapt to changing requirements. By facilitating frequent feedback and continuous improvement, these strategies aim to enhance team productivity and project outcomes. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, incorporating quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with software development teams across various industries. The survey data, collected from 100 development teams, evaluates productivity metrics such as cycle time, defect rates, and team satisfaction. The interviews provide deeper insights into how agile practices influence daily workflows, team dynamics, and project management. The study finds that teams utilizing agile strategies report significant improvements in productivity, with average cycle times reduced by 30% and defect rates decreased by 25%. Team satisfaction also shows a notable increase, attributed to the collaborative and transparent nature of agile practices. One of the key findings is that agile development enhances productivity by promoting a culture of continuous improvement and regular feedback. Teams that actively engage in agile ceremonies, such as daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives, demonstrate higher levels of efficiency and output. Moreover, the flexibility inherent in agile methods allows teams to respond swiftly to changing requirements and unexpected challenges, contributing to improved project delivery and stakeholder satisfaction. However, the study also identifies challenges associated with agile adoption. Teams face difficulties in maintaining consistency in agile practices, especially in organizations with entrenched traditional workflows. Additionally, the initial learning curve and the need for continuous adaptation can be demanding, requiring ongoing training and support.
