 Abstract

Ajmer-Merwara is one of India's unique and heritage-rich regions where religious and secular heritage monuments are situated in a multi-layered, cultural, ecological and political context. This investigation provides a systematic account of the region's architectural body from temples, dargahs, and mosques to forts, havelis, lakes, sarais and colonial civic institutions into an integrated interpretive perspective. Utilizing an Integrated Heritage Analytical Model (IHAM) rooted in the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) paradigm, the research is using mixed methods--archival survey and site mapping, field based documentation and heritage-function audit--to understand how sacred-secular interfaces facilitated Ajmer-Merwara's urban metamorphosis. Findings show that the gravity nodes of social-spiritual formation were sacred sites like the Ajmer Sharif Dargah, Adhai-din-ka-Jhopra, Pushkar Sarovar and Brahma Temple; while those of political authority/economic mobility/civic order were secular edifices such as Taragarh Fort, Akbari Palace, merchant havelis and colonial civic architecture. Spatial analysis uncovers closely knit sacred-secular clustering facilitated by long-distance trade routes, water circuits and pilgrimage circuits, attesting to the long duration of a pluralistic morphology in the region. What is more, the work emphasizes how ecological infrastructures--particularly lakes and stepwells--mediate ritual, livelihoods, and environmental resilience. Together, the results confirm Ajmer-Merwara is an archetype syncretic heritage system wherein religious pluralism, civic utility and political sponsorship combine to produce cultural resistance and present-day heritage value.

 Abstract

Work-life balance is essential for maintaining psychological well-being and overall quality of life. However, in today's fast- paced and demanding work environments, achieving this work life balance is become increasingly challenging. Work-life imbalance has emerged as a significant issue in today's fast-paced professional world. Work-life imbalance is a state where an individual struggles to effectively manage the demands of their work life and personal life, leading to a disproportionate amount of time and energy being dedicated to one at the expense of the other. Work-life imbalance can significantly impact mental health, leading to stress, anxiety, depression and burnout. The failure to establish a sustainable boundary between personal and professional life often leads to adverse mental health outcomes, increased burnout among employees and reduce productivity. This paper explores the impact of work-life imbalance on individual's mental health and burnout, drawing upon recent studies and secondary data analysis. It explores the contributing factors, including long working hour's unrealistic performance expectations, lack of autonomy, and inadequate support systems at both workplace and home. The paper further investigates the organizational impact of employee burnout, including decreased productivity, high turnover rates, absenteeism and increased healthcare costs. Preventative and remedial strategies are discussed, emphasizing the role of organizational polices, leadership behavior, flexible work arrangements, mental health resource, and the cultivation of a supportive work culture. Findings suggest a strong correlation between poor work-life balance and symptoms of anxiety, depression, emotional exhaustion, and reduced job performance. The study emphasizes the urgent need for organizational and individual strategies to promote healthier work-life integration.

 Abstract

This paper describes the current state of education, skills development, and employment for Indian youth. Skills and knowledge are the driving forces of economic growth and social development of any country. It has become even more important given the increasing pace of globalization and technological changes provide both challenges that are taking place in the world. Countries with higher and better levels of skills adjust more effectively to the challenges and opportunities of globalization. In recent years India has rapidly expanded the capacity of educational institutions and enrollments, but dropout rates remain high, and educational attainment remains low. While India has a well-institutionalized system of vocational training, it has not sufficiently prepared its youth with the skills that today's industries require. Thus, to speed its economic growth and take advantage of its "demographic dividend," the country has recently embarked on drastic policy reforms to accelerate skills development

Theatre has become an indispensable part of our lives to share stories and movies are updated form of theatre. Through movies we can understand the realities of life better and creators are also working hard to give viewers a better experience. In this research paper we have analyzed the psychological aspects that are covered in the movie 'SOUL' by Pixar Animation Studios. We have thrown light on the mental health issues that are discussed in the movie and also did a comparative analysis of the personality of the characters Joe Gardner and 22. This movie has given a different perspective towards life to the viewers. Adults think that animated movies are only for children but it is not true, this movie has the power to change perspective of adults towards life. This paper explores the film through the lenses of existential psychology, identity theory, developmental psychology, and positive psychology. By dissecting the psychological journeys of its central characters, the paper argues that Soul challenges the cultural fixation on purpose as a singular external goal, and instead reframes meaningful existence as an embodied, present-focused experience.

 Abstract

The implementation of High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) in India has significantly improved vehicle identification and security by introducing tamper-proof, standardized registration systems. This paper, titled "Analysing High Security Registration Plate (HSRP) of Vehicles and Vehicle Classification in Indian Scenario," focuses on the development of an intelligent system that automatically detects and classifies vehicles using advanced computer vision techniques. The proposed method employs the YOLO (You Only Look Once) deep learning algorithm for real-time detection and recognition of HSRPs from captured images frames. The system extracts alphanumeric data from plates and classifies vehicles into categories such as cars, bikes, trucks, and buses. The analysis is further enhanced through image preprocessing, segmentation, and machine learning-based classification. This approach ensures high accuracy, faster processing, and adaptability to Indian traffic and environmental conditions. The research aims to support traffic surveillance, vehicle tracking, law enforcement, and smart city initiatives by enabling efficient and automated vehicle identification. The results demonstrate that HSRP-based detection combined with YOLO provides a robust and scalable solution for modern intelligent transportation systems in India. The project titled "Analysing High Security Registration Plate (HSRP) of Vehicles and Vehicle Classification in Indian Scenario" focuses on developing an automated system for detecting and classifying vehicles using their High Security Registration Plates

 Abstract

This study examines access to public healthcare and its impact on epidemic diseases in Tiruvannamalai district using descriptive statistics and empirical analysis. The results show that while most families have physical access to public health facilities, socioeconomic status, cultural customs, and perceived service quality all have an impact on usage. There is a significant disconnect between timely health-seeking behavior and knowledge of epidemic illnesses. With substantial explanatory power (R2 = 0.712), multiple regression analysis verifies that public health initiatives, including mass testing, vaccination, sanitation, and awareness campaigns, significantly lower the occurrence of epidemics. The research comes to the conclusion that expanding infrastructure is necessary to improve healthcare efficacy, but so are improved service delivery, equality, and community involvement.

 Abstract

Deepfake detectors based on Vision Transformers (ViTs) achieve state-of-the-art performance but remain vulnerable to adversarial patch attacks--physically realizable perturbations that fool the model. This research proposes a defensive distillation framework to harden ViT-based deepfake detectors against such attacks. We first evaluate the susceptibility of ViTs to patch attacks (white-box and black-box), then apply defensive distillation (originally designed for CNNs) adapted to ViT architecture. The expected outcome is a robust deepfake detector that maintains high accuracy on clean data while resisting physically realizable patch attacks.
