 Abstract

Smart Meters plays a vital role in measuring energy consumed by every user with their device details. The inside attacker i.e the tenants staying at home may be able to access the electricity price information, network infrastructure information, and other information communicated through protocols. We proposed a renewable energy based wireless power transfer smart billing system using Internet of Things (IOT) with android application for Electricity Bill (EB) payment. The devices used in my project are LoRa (Long Range), PIC control and Meter box. By implementing we measure the current consumption in every home using LoRa and then transfer those meter values to the electricity board server. The total amount will be calculated on EB server and thus the notification is sent through the SMS. User can pay their bill amounts using mobile application and the users are also notified with an alert message when the usage of power consumption exceeds the premium limit. The meter readings can be viewed from distant places by using this LoRa technology. LoRa enables long-range transmissions (more than 10�km in rural areas) with low power consumption. Also a solar panel is placed at the roof top of the house which converts the sun�s rays into electricty. This electricity can then be used to supply renewable energy to your home or business. Hence this acts as an inverter at the time of power shut down. To make the system even more comfortable Wireless power transfer�(WPT) systems are also used in my project this allows power to be transferred from one electrical network to another without the need for wires or exposed contacts. For a large number of diverse applications, this feature is highly advantageous, and in certain cases has enabled new applications to be realized. Further, WPT is poised to play a vital role in the worldwide drive to electrify transportation systems and, thus, become ubiquitous throughout technologically advanced future societies. Hence Power can be transferred over short distances (near-field transfer) by the method of WPT. similarly power theft is also detected. With the advent of�smart meters, the frequency of collecting household energy consumption data has increased, making it possible for advanced data analysis, which was not possible earlier.

Abstract- Information technology is creating a revolution among the products. The products which were once only made up of mechanical and electrical parts are now a combination of hardware, sensors, cloud, controllers, software and internet connectivity. These products have unleashed an era of smartness. They have the capability to connect everything, everyone and everywhere. IoT is the everlasting concept of connecting things through internet connectivity. IoT provides connectivity beyond the traditional devices like desktop, laptops, smartphones and tablets to a wide variety of things used every day and uses embedded technology to connect with external surroundings. This technology allows devices to create exchange and use data automatically without human interruptions. The Smart products have three essential components: physical components such as physical products, and smart component such as sensors, microprocessors etc., and connectivity component such as ports, Antennae etc. These components are interdependent and strengthen each other�s capabilities. The smart products excel in four areas: monitoring, controlling, optimization and autonomy. These products can self-coordinate and function with complete autonomy. Human managers can focus on system�s performance rather than single units, hence increasing experience and effectiveness. IoT based solutions when introduced in business, result in higher quality products, which are according to the conformance of standards. In this study, by understanding the process of IoT solutions by building prototypes of IoT using the hardware components required, in the areas of Automated Street light system (ASLS) which uses sensors and gets switched ON and switched OFF when it senses movement, Smart irrigation system (SIS) is a sensor based irrigation system which irrigates the land whenever the moisture content falls below the required threshold value and Voice controlled home automation system (VCHAS) which uses speech to text in order to convert speech information into text. This system can switch ON or OFF the bulb, fans, AC, Fridges and other electronic appliances through voice instructions and testing them. The data returned by the system through smart devices gives managers visibility to analyze the results which leads them to quick decision making and forecasting the future necessity. The smart products raise the value for the consumers by decreasing operating costs, increasing efficiency and improving output. The potential benefits of data generated by the IoT sensors has been unfolded using machine learning techniques .These techniques have been used on moisture content data of 15 villages generated by the sensors,in order to identify drought in early stages. This study focuses on implementation of IoT prototypes only on the chosen areas, which are smart irrigation system, automated street light system and voice controlled home automation system. The machine learning techniques such as Auto regressive models (AR), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), and Support Vector Machines (SVM) on these applications. The study is restricted to the only selected solutions of IoT in few operation scenarios.

 Abstract

Mother & child are vulnerable & precious presents of god on earth, so make them countable & valuable. India has an excellent infrastructural layout for the delivery of MCH services in the community through a network of sub centers, primary health centers, community health centers, district hospitals, state medical college hospitals, and other hospitals in the public and private sectors. However, the health pyramid does not function effectively because of limited resources, communication delays, a lack of commitment on the part of health professionals, and, above all, a lack of managerial skills, supervision, and political will. A descriptive approach was adopted to assess the knowledge & utilization of community health care services related to maternal & child health by mothers belonging to Uttai village in Durg District, Chhattisgarh. The objectives stated in the study were to assess the knowledge of CHC services available to mothers. To assess the utilization of MCH services. To determine the relationship between knowledge and utilization of CHC services by mothers. To determine the association between knowledge of MCH services with selected socio-demographic variables. In view of the nature of the problem, a structured interview schedule was prepared to assess the knowledge& utilization of CHC services by mothers residing in Uttai village. Purposive sampling was used to select 25 mothers & the data was collected & analyzed by using descriptive & inferential statistics. The present study shows that the level of knowledge of mothers revealed that 64% of mothers had good knowledge regarding MCH services but the utilization level of services revealed that, only 48% of mothers had adequate utilization regarding MCH services. There was a moderate positive relationship between knowledge & utilization of MCH services by mothers. Thus, there is felt need of awareness and education to mothers of rural area regarding MCH Services.

 Abstract

The aim of this paper is to develop a modified version of the Samuelson (1939) Accelerator Model to study the Indian Economy in the post-liberalization period (1992-1993 to 2018-2019). The crisis which has emerged in the Indian economy has gained tremendous acceptance by now. Several papers have tried to investigate the major factors which are gradually leading to the propagation of this crisis. The objective of this research paper is to examine the macroeconomic variables responsible for this crisis. The theory of accelerator has been introduced owing to the fact that consumption has been a major contributor in keeping the economy afloat over the past decade since the GFC. Econometric analysis has been carried out to estimate the parameters of the model using the standard OLS technique and to examine if the interactions between consumption and investment can explain the time path of GDP for which the data has been collected from the Handbook of Statistics on the Indian Economy. The model seems to give robust results as I go on to conclude that the accelerator principle is highly relevant to our economy and therefore echoing that are the need of the hour is to boost consumption to put the grappling economy back on the growth trajectory.
