 Abstract

Abstract: The prevalent system of government in ancient India was probably absolute monarchy. The ancient Indian system was a monarchical one, as it was administered by kings. Ancient India had a centralized government that controlled its citizens. Eventually, the king would become an all-powerful monarch in the Ancient Society. Ancient Indian political system was a mix of monarchical States, and non-monarchical States that had both oligarchic and republican governments, which had been documented by both Indian and Greek writers. In all democracies, an assembly of elected representatives exercises supreme political authority on behalf of the people. In India such a national assembly of elected representatives is called Parliament. At the state level this is called Legislature or Legislative Assembly.

 Abstract

India has a long history of urbanisation and urban spread, any systematic study on Indian urban phenomena began only in early 20th century, at a time when urban sociology was getting recognition as a distinct branch of Sociology in the U.S.A. and other western countries. The birth and growth of urban sociology in India was rather slow. The reasons for this can be attributed to many factors. If we look at the geographical differentiation of Indian land into rural and urban areas, it could be observed that the vast majority of the Indian population lives in the so called rural areas. Populations in those areas, which are demarcated as urban, accommodates less than 31% (2011 Indian Census Report). This was one of the major factors which held against the requirement for a scientific discipline to study urban phenomena in India. But the majority criterion, however cannot ignore the significant variations in the institutional and organisational behaviour of the people in the urban context. At present, the urban field is subjected to multidisciplinary research involving disciplines such as economics, geography, history, political science and demography besides sociology. A more direct source for a sociological study of urbanism and urbanisation come from the studies of sociologically relevant aspects of urban social life and of segments of urban population, relating to issues such as immigration, caste system, occupational segmentation, family organisation, politics and religion etc. The birth and growth, and the state of urban sociology in India as a distinct branch of sociology discipline can be examined by taking stock of the studies on urban social settings in India that contributed to the development of the discipline. Since it is beyond the scope of this unit to include all the sociologically relevant urban studies, this research work confines its discussion to only some selected areas that fall under urban sociology.

 Abstract

Mental health awareness plays a critical role in breaking down stigma and encouraging individuals to seek support. As awareness grows, there's an increased demand for accessible resources that can offer guidance and reliable information. Chatbots, leveraging artificial intelligence and natural language processing, have emerged as innovative solutions for promoting mental health awareness and offering immediate assistance. These chatbots provide a safe, non-judgmental space for users to discuss their thoughts and concerns. They offer personalized responses, educational content, and self-care techniques, empowering users to explore mental health topics and seek professional help. Our chatbot stands out by providing multilingual support, speech-to-text conversion, and voice input, allowing users to interact in their preferred language and manner. It also includes suggestions for coping with emotional wellness and features a 30-day self-care challenge, guiding users through daily activities to improve their mental health. By reaching a broad audience, chatbots reduce stigma and facilitate early intervention, supporting a healthier, more informed approach to mental health.

 Abstract

Micro-Finance is emerging as a powerful instrument for poverty alleviation in the new economy. In India, Micro- Finance is dominated by Self Help Groups (SHGs) - Banks linkage Programme, aimed at providing a cost effective mechanism for providing financial services to the 'unreached poor'. In the Indian context terms like "small and marginal farmers", "rural artisans" and "economically weaker sections" have been used to broadly define micro- finance customers. Research has shown that, over time, microfinance customers increase their income and assets, increase the number of years of schooling that their children receive and have shown improved health and nutrition of their families. A more refined model of micro-credit delivery has evolved lately, which emphasizes the combined delivery of financial services along with technical assistance and agricultural business development services. Compared to the wider SHG bank linkage movement in India, private Micro Finance Institutions have limited outreach, because SHG's open bank account with either commercial banks or regional rural banks or co- operative societies. However, it is seen that recently large number of microfinance institutions are transforming into Non-Bank Financial Institutions (NBFCs). This changing face of microfinance in India appears to be positive in terms of the ability of microfinance to attract more funds and therefore increase outreach.
