 Abstract

A social-economic phenomenon known as poverty occurs when a segment of society is unable to meet even its most basic needs. Food, clothing, housing, education, and other fundamental human needs are considered the minimum requirements. The targeted programmes can be divided into four major categories: I programmes for self-employment; (ii) programmes for wage employment; (iii) direct cash transfers to the targeted groups; and (iv) public distribution system (PDS). The concept of empowerment has many facets, dimensions, and layers. According to the Government of India's Country Report, empowerment is the transition from a position of imposed powerlessness to one of power. By allowing women to establish their own identities and social standing, economic empowerment is the key to opening up new channels for such power. It entails addressing women's issues resulting from gender bias and social limitations that Indian women face, ensuring that women have access to all basic amenities and services, and putting women in a position to take advantage of economic opportunities. Successful partnerships between SHGs and private microfinance institutions, as well as public microfinance institutions like RMK, NABARD, and SIDBI, have greatly aided in generating additional income, jobs, and small businesses for women. In order to achieve the goal of economic empowerment of women through the inter-sectoral convergence of schemes and programmes of partner ministries/departments, the National Mission for Empowerment of Women (NMEW) envisages a number of steps that are detailed below. It would bring about coordination between Central Government and State Governments for implementation of schemes for gender empowerment and equality.

 Abstract

The paper presents a smart dustbin that will aid in keeping our surroundings clean while also being environmentally friendly. As an Indian citizen, it becomes imperative to support the Clean India Movement. Swachh Bharat Mission has motivated us. Technology is becoming smarter by the day, if dustbins are not properly kept, they can contribute to an unpleasant atmosphere and pollute, both of which are harmful to human health. Hence a smart dustbin with an intelligent dustbin management system is proposed.

 Abstract

A novel edge preserving nonlocal means (NLM) technique pertaining to MR images perturbed with Rician noise is presented in this paper. Earlier proposed techniques over-smoothes the MR image and hence edge preservation was difficult.Also nonlocal means filter when carried-out on 3D images, slows down the denoising process. In our work we have optimized the denoising algorithm to achieve higher speed and better accuracy using principal component analysis technique. We have tested our proposed method on simulated, clinical and pathological image sets. With a wide variety of evaluation metrics such as PSNR, BC, UQI and visual inspection itis found that the proposed technique outperforms other techniques qualitatively and quantitatively. The proposed method is 6.8 times faster than all other methods in comparison.

 Abstract

The plant known as garden cress, Lepidium Sativum, is a member of the Brassicaceae family and is botanically related to mustard. The plant seeds are valued for their therapeutic and dietary properties. The seeds' therapeutic qualities are caused by a variety of phytochemical compounds found in them. A variety of plants are utilized for the same purposes since the majority of plants have both nutritional and therapeutic properties. Consumers and manufacturers have recently shown an increased interest in garden cress seeds, which are a viable option to use in food items to add macro- and micronutrients like protein, calcium, and iron. Since ancient times, India's traditional indigenous medicine has employed garden cress seeds. The seeds of garden cress are a good source of calcium, folic acid, iron, and vitamins C, E, and A. The seeds of garden cress are very calorie-dense. It has 25.3 grams of protein and 454 kcal of energy per 100 grams of carbs. When compared to other nuts and oilseeds, it has a low-fat content of 24.5 g. To create a nutrient-dense biscuit that is the ideal substitute for traditional biscuits, the current study created one using garden cress seeds.

 Abstract

Brand loyalty focuses on the creating, developing and sustaining a relationship between the brand and the consumer. Building brand loyalty is a time and effort intensive process but its need and scope make it imperative for the brands and companies to invest into it.This paper discusses how brand loyalty functions concerning FMCG products with emphasis on post covid period. This topic of study gains its importance because of the lacking USP that most of these products have, hence depriving the company/brand of any particular value/trait to build brand loyalty on. Many practitioners and researchers have delved into this topic of research to understand consumer choices and the psychology behind them. This was to come up with effective marketing practices aimed at building and maintaining brand loyalty towards their respective FMCG product brands after a crisis such as the covid pandemic. This paper has considered 20 research papers based on different elements that affect a consumer's brand loyalty to FMCG products. We have mainly looked into the cases of brand loyalty regarding FMCG in the rural, urban, Indian subcontinent, the African continent, and their different marketing strategies. We then discuss how these trends have changed post covid. The interpretations are based on the conclusions drawn by the authors of these papers and other online resources; that is, they are based on secondary sources of information. The major conclusions are drawn from list price, brand awareness, product availability, word of mouth (more specifically electronic word of mouth), and geography as the elements that mainly affect brand loyalty. This paper lacks reviews of studies on brand loyalty based on gender.
