 Abstract

An important part of the population of India is Scheduled Castes. West Bengal is the western part of the ancient Bangadesh. Present day West Bengal and today's Bangladesh were known as Bangadesh until Lord Curzon's infamous partition of Bengal in 1905. A large number of Scheduled Caste people from East- Pakistan and later independent Bangadesh migrated to West Bengal for political reasons. West Bengal is the important state of East India. About a quarter of the total population of the state is Scheduled Caste people. According to the 2011 Census of India, total Scheduled Castes population in West bengal is 21.4 million (23.51 %). There are 60 Sub- Caste categories among Scheduled Castes in West Bengal. Bordering areas of South Bengal such as North 24 Parganas, Nadia, and South 24 Parganas districts are inhabited by the Namasudra community of Scheduled Castes. On the other hand, people of the Rajbanshi community living in the districts like Cooch Bihar, Jalpaiguri, Siliguri in North Bengal. There are several Scheduled Castes communities like Bagdi,Bauri, Chamar, Dhoba, Dom,Jhalomalo, Kaora,Kotal,Musahar,Sarki, Sunri,Hrishi etc in West Bengal. Scheduled Caste people of this state are very backward from other general class people in economic, social and cultural fields. Even after 75th years of independence, they are forced to choose the lower professions of the society as a means of livelihood. They are still neglected by the upper caste people of the society. Due to lack of education they are forced to live in lower socio-economic status. The main livelihood of the class of people of West Bengal are- agricultural, agricultural labourers, hawkers, construction workers, small business,work in Mills,scavenging etc. Lack of education is the main reason behind the backwardness of the Scheduled Castes people from other general classes in terms of socio-economic status in this state. Due to lack of education, they are denied the right to take up the higher profession of the society as a means of livelihood. Various superstitions and bad practice are prevalent among the Scheduled Castes in our state. Due to lack of economic development, they are backward in education, health, housing and food. Another major reason behind the under development of these people in the state use of false certificates. Many of the general classes are depriving the real Scheduled Castes people of their rights by using false caste credentials for the sake of Political power. Due to lack of awareness in the fields of education, economy and politics, the Scheduled Castes people of West Bengal are not able to develop as expected in the socio-economic fields.

 Abstract

There are several aspects to the concept of "marginalisation." A society as a whole could become globally marginalised. Within a class or community, there is a possibility of marginalisation from the dominant social order. Likewise, ethnic groups, families, or individuals may be marginalised by local communities. Consequently, the practice of maintaining individuals or groups at or beyond the limits of society is referred to as "marginalisation." It can manifest in a variety of ways, such as those that have social and economic disadvantages at one level and those that are based on class, caste, community, gender, and other factors at another. Stories of pain, trauma, protest, resistance, and societal change are revealed in writings from the margins. Marginal texts show the sins and sufferings imposed against the underdogs. The texts are inspired by actual experiences with poverty, cruelty, rejection, and sorrow. The purpose of this study is to investigate the complex concept of marginality. I have studied the term's multiple connotations and nuances in significant Indian works from the modern age with great attention. The main topics of interest are how the oppressed are forced to pay for the wrongdoings of others, how the hopelessness of the marginalized' s past has been destroyed by the dysfunctional government-bureaucratic system, and how indignant writers have used their writing to criticise the powerful and wealthy.

 Abstract

The tourism sector has made a huge contribution to the Indian economy over the past few decades. Especially foreign tourist arrivals are increasing trend except for the COVID-19 crisis, and most foreigners preferred pilgrimage, adventure, and ecotourism. This paper analyzes the trends and patterns of foreign tourist arrivals, share of international tourists, monthly-wise; footfall to visiting centrally protected monuments, and foreign exchange earnings and receipts in India. The study aims to highlight the share and distribution of international tourists. The result draws from the correlation between foreign tourist visitors and foreign exchange earnings.

 Abstract

Concrete is most extensively used material in construction. CO2 is emitted during the manufacture of cement, damaging the environment. By lowering cement usage leads to reduction of CO2 generated. The increasing demand for cement made researchers to think about the supplementary materials for partial replacement of cement. In the same case if these supplementary materials are naturally occurring or any industrial wastes, then it results in both environment sustainability and economical. The present work focuses on investigating characteristics of M50 grade concrete with partial replacement of cement with GGBS and fly ash. The total replacement of cement with GGBS and Flyash were 40%, 50% and 60%. The cubes, cylinders and prisms are tested for compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength.

Neem, Azadirachta Indica A. Is a tree, wich has a wide application in animal kingdom[1] .The neem is a tropical evergreen tree traditionally well known for its medicinal value[2]. The neem has a vital role in various problems associated with human health. The chemical constituents present in the neem plant Make it a Doctor Tree because of its broad range of biological activities connected to it, and has become an international phenomenon presently. The neem tree is said to be safe for humans, animals, birds, beneficial insects, and earthworms and has been approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency for use on food crops [3]

 Abstract

Machine downtime is a significant challenge in industries, primarily caused by misalignment of parts, equipment failure, wear of gears, and unexpected maintenance issues. Condition monitoring is essential to detect machine faults and prevent instability and improper functioning. This project focuses on the condition monitoring of gearboxes using lubrication oil analysis and signal processing techniques. Vibration analysis, known for tracking dynamic conditions, and viscosity analysis, crucial in assessing the health of lubricating oils, are employed. Lubricating oil samples were collected every 100 hours, and corresponding vibration signals were acquired. Time domain and frequency domain analyses were applied to extract defect information. The lubrication regime analysis indicated that deviations in oil viscosity trends corresponded with gear condition changes. Specifically, the 9th multiple of the gear mesh frequency at around 4000 Hz showed significant dominance, highlighting gearbox issues. The integration of viscosity analysis with vibration signal techniques enhanced gear health assessment, enabling timely maintenance and preventing severe damage. Thus, lubrication oil analysis and vibration signals are recommended for effective gearbox condition monitoring, improving overall machine reliability and reducing maintenance costs.

 Abstract

Freedom movement in India is one of the most popular liberation movements in the world. South India, especially Tamil Nadu played a pivotal role from the very beginning of our freedom struggle. It displayed its strength in almost all aspects of struggle political, social, and cultural. Tens and thousands of freedom fighters made their imprint in the struggle. However, many of these freedom fighters were not adequately and properly depicted by historians in their historical works. In this article, the researcher made an attempt to trace the life and works of Sri Chidambaranathan, who was both a freedom fighter and a social reformer, who lived in Kanyakumari and participated in the great struggle during the 20th century.
