 Abstract

The Brahmaputra Valley of Assam, subjugated by one of the world's most sediment-heavy and hydrologically unstable rivers, is the setting for a unique anthropological and geological phenomenon known as the char-chaporis which is the shifting riverine islands and sandbars. These amphibious landscapes, which make up about 4-5% of Assam's landmass, are home to almost 2.5 million people, most of them are the Bengali speaking Muslim. They have developed a unique riverine culture based on being mentally strong, moving around the chars, and having a close relationship with water and river. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the char areas, transcending the simplistic dichotomy of land and water to investigate the intricate liquid geography that characterizes the region. The study examines the geomorphological formation of the chars by utilizing geological data, historical records, ethnographic insights, and uses primary data which are collected from the selected char villages, while tracing the sediment dynamics that consistently create and erode these islands seasonally. The focus of the study was on the practice of living with water, which includes the indigenous ways of adapting to a constantly changing landscape through architecture like dismantlable housing, raised platform for housing, agriculture (flood-synchronized cropping), and transportation (the boat economy). By analyzing the relationship between the fluvial environment, socio-economic and cultural identity, this study claims that the riverine culture of the Char areas of Assam is not merely a survival mechanism but a profound expression of resilience.

 Abstract

Khushwant Singh's novel Train To Pakistan' unfurled a poignant depiction of the tumultuous bloodshed and hatred, consequential to the partition of India in 1947. The research article explored the uncanny themes of land, memory and displacement, entwined with the disconcerting ramification of inter-communal violence and loss of identity. It is the attachment of human emotion with one's land and the fear of displacement from it, that took a humongous toll on the memory of people belonging to the village of Mano Majra. The village provided a microcosmic view of the Indian sub-continent witnessing the destruction of home, life, history and belonging. The social structure of the fictional village stood like that of any other village, having the cultural ethos weaved with harmony in its air. The muslims and sikhs of this victimized village devastated the social fabric of society. In order to preserve one's land and dignity, they were more than eager to murder the innocence of humanity. Undoubtedly, the repercussion of partition could not be envisaged. Lakhs of people got displaced, families parted from each other, women got dehumanized and the ugliest face of human's diabolic and devilish disposition was unleashed. The Train To Pakistan investigated the varied and multi-cultural ethnic groups of inhabitants, lost in the flimsy ghostly shadows.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way education works today. It helps students learn better, supports teachers in their work, and makes education more organized. This study looks at how AI affects education by collecting opinions and analyzing different areas like personalized learning, automated assessment, and accessibility.Two types of analysis are considered: overall perception and aspect-based impact. Overall, perception shows whether people feel positive or negative about AI in education, while aspect-based analysis focuses on specific areas such as learning support, teacher assistance, and evaluation systems.The results show that AI improves learning speed, understanding, and engagement. However, challenges like overdependence on technology and privacy concerns still exist. The study concludes that AI has a strong positive role in education when used carefully and responsibly.

 Abstract

The rapid growth of digital financial services has transformed the economic landscape of India, particularly among traditionally underserved segments of society. In this context, the Pradhan Mantri Street Vendor's AtmaNirbhar Nidhi (PM SVANidhi) Scheme, launched by the Government of India in 2020, has emerged as a significant initiative aimed at providing affordable working capital loans to street vendors affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond facilitating access to formal credit, the scheme promotes digital financial inclusion through cashback incentives and rewards linked to digital transactions. This study examines the role of PM SVANidhi in accelerating digital financial transformation among street vendors, with a specific focus on the effectiveness of cashback and Unified Payments Interface (UPI) incentives in encouraging digital payment adoption. The research is based on secondary data collected from government reports, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) publications, PM SVANidhi dashboard statistics, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reports, National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) data, journal articles, and other relevant scholarly sources. The study adopts a descriptive and analytical approach to evaluate the scheme's contribution to increasing digital transaction volumes, enhancing financial literacy, and integrating street vendors into the formal financial ecosystem. The findings indicate that cashback incentives and digital transaction rewards have played a crucial role in motivating vendors to adopt cashless payment methods. The widespread use of UPI-based applications has increased transaction transparency, improved financial record-keeping, and strengthened vendors' access to formal financial services. Furthermore, the incentive-based framework has contributed to reducing dependence on cash transactions while fostering confidence in digital payment systems among small-scale entrepreneurs. However, challenges such as limited digital literacy, inadequate technological infrastructure, cybersecurity concerns, and regional disparities continue to affect the scheme's overall effectiveness. The study concludes that PM SVANidhi has successfully combined financial assistance with digital empowerment, creating a sustainable model for promoting financial inclusion among urban informal workers. The integration of cashback benefits and UPI incentives has not only encouraged digital payment adoption but has also supported the broader objectives of India's digital economy agenda. The research recommends enhanced digital literacy programs, improved technological accessibility, and continuous monitoring of incentive mechanisms to maximize the long-term impact of the scheme. The findings contribute to the growing literature on digital financial inclusion and provide valuable insights for policymakers seeking to strengthen digital transformation initiatives within the informal sector.

 Abstract

Livestock farming plays a vital role in agricultural productivity, food security, and rural economic development, but continuous animal health monitoring remains difficult because traditional supervision depends on manual observation and delayed veterinary response. This study presents an intelligent livestock health and activity monitoring system using deep learning, embedded automation, and IoT communication for early disease detection and farm management. Images of healthy cattle and cattle affected by Lumpy Skin Disease are collected from a Kaggle dataset and used to train a CNN-VGG19 classification model. The trained model is deployed in a Flask based web application for real time disease prediction using uploaded animal images. Prediction results are transmitted to an Arduino UNO through serial communication for automated decision making. When disease is detected, the system activates a chemical sprayer and displays alerts on an LCD module. Healthy cattle continue under normal monitoring conditions. Additional features include RFID based boundary monitoring, manual food and water control through the Blynk application, and LCD based system status display. Experimental analysis demonstrates improved disease response efficiency, reduced labor dependency, and effective livestock safety monitoring for modern animal husbandry applications. The proposed framework supports reliable automated livestock supervision in small and medium scale farms efficiently.

 Abstract

The Garbhadhan Sanskar stands as the first and most significant among the sixteen *Sanskaras* (sacraments) of the Hindu tradition; it frames the inception of human life not merely as a biological process, but rather as a conscious, sacred, and scientific endeavor. This sacrament seeks to harmonize the physical and mental states of the parents prior to the child's birth, thereby ensuring that the offspring's life is auspicious, healthy, and prosperous. The objective of this research paper is to analyze the philosophical, spiritual, and Ayurvedic underpinnings of the *Garbhadhan Sanskar* within the context of modern science - specifically epigenetics, reproductive biology, neurobiology, and nutritional science. The study reveals that the principles expounded in the ancient Indian knowledge system resonate deeply with modern scientific findings. This research elucidates how these ancient sacraments can be re-adopted in the contemporary era, enabling us to comprehend reproduction and family planning through a balanced and holistic lens. It establishes a harmonious synthesis between these two perspectives, the spiritual and the scientific- thereby offering guidance to society in its pursuit of building healthy, prosperous, and empowered lives.
