 Abstract

Dushta Vrana is a chronic non-healing wound described in Ayurvedic surgical literature and can be correlated with chronic ulcers in modern surgery. These wounds are characterized by delayed healing, infection, foul smell, discharge, discoloration, and unhealthy granulation tissue. Management of chronic wounds remains a challenge in contemporary medicine due to poor vascularity, infection, and metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus. Ayurveda describes a comprehensive approach for wound care including Shodhana (cleansing), Ropana (healing), and parasurgical procedures. Jalaukavacharana (leech therapy) is a form of Raktamokshana that is especially indicated in conditions associated with vitiated Rakta and Pitta Dosha. Medicinal leech saliva contains several biologically active substances such as hirudin, calin, bdellins, and hyaluronidase which possess anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties. These substances improve microcirculation and promote wound healing. The present review discusses the Ayurvedic concept of Dushta Vrana and highlights the therapeutic role of Jalaukavacharana in chronic wound management.

 Abstract

Abstract Women entrepreneurship is steadily more acknowledged as a powerful driver of inclusive economic growth, yet minority women entrepreneurs in backward districts like Keonjhar, Odisha, continue to face structural barriers in accessing finance and digital resources. This empirical study investigates how access to finance and digital inclusion influence the enterprise performance of minority women entrepreneurs in Keonjhar district. The study is based on primary data collected through structured questionnaires and field interactions with minority women engaged in micro and small enterprises across selected blocks of the district. This research examines the relationship between formal credit access, participation in government financial schemes, digital literacy, use of UPI and mobile banking, and business performance indicators such as profitability, sales growth, market reach, and sustainability. The findings reveal that limited collateral security, procedural complexities in banking institutions, and low financial awareness restrict access to formal finance. However, digital inclusion--particularly the adoption of digital payment systems, social media marketing, and online banking--significantly enhances operational efficiency, financial transparency, and customer connectivity. Entrepreneurs who actively utilize digital platforms report higher income stability and business expansion. The study highlights that financial access and digital empowerment together act as catalysts for enterprise growth. It recommends targeted policy interventions, including simplified credit mechanisms, gender-sensitive financial products, and structured digital literacy programs to strengthen minority women-led enterprises. The research underscores the transformative potential of financial and digital inclusion in promoting sustainable entrepreneurship and socio-economic development in rural India.

 Abstract

Renal calculi (nephrolithiasis) is a common urinary tract disorder characterized by the formation of stones in the kidney or urinary tract, often presenting with flank pain, burning micturition, and hematuria. Homoeopathy provides a holistic and individualized approach to treatment based on the totality of symptoms. A 19-year-old male patient presented with right-sided flank pain radiating to the groin along with burning urination and reddish urine for one month, associated with nausea and vomiting. Detailed case taking including mental and physical generals was performed, followed by repertorial analysis to select the indicated remedy. After individualized homoeopathic treatment, significant improvement was observed in the patient's symptoms.This case highlights the effectiveness of individualized homoeopathic management in renal calculi and suggests that homoeopathy can be a safe and non-invasive therapeutic option.

 Abstract

Chronic ulcers represent a major health problem worldwide due to delayed healing, recurrent infections, and prolonged morbidity. In Ayurveda, chronic non-healing ulcers can be correlated with Dushta Vrana, which is characterized by foul smell, excessive discharge, pain, discoloration, and delayed healing. Acharya Sushruta has explained several treatment modalities for Dushta Vrana, among which Taila application is considered effective for wound cleansing (Vrana Shodhana) and healing (Vrana Ropana). The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of Svarjikadya Taila and Jatiyadi Taila in the management of Dushta Vrana with reference to chronic ulcers. A total of 40 patients were selected and randomly divided into two groups of 20 each. Group A received local application of Svarjikadya Taila, while Group B received Jatiyadi Taila dressing. Assessment was done based on subjective parameters such as pain, burning sensation, itching, odor, and objective parameters including discharge, color, granulation tissue, and size of ulcer. The results revealed that both formulations showed significant improvement in wound healing. However, Svarjikadya Taila demonstrated slightly better results compared to Jatiyadi Taila. Thus, both treatments were found effective in the management of Dushta Vrana, with Svarjikadya Taila showing comparatively superior healing properties.

 Abstract

In recent years, environmental sustainability has become a major concern for organizations across the world. Companies are increasingly adopting environmentally friendly management practices to reduce ecological impact and promote sustainable development. One important approach is Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM), which integrates environmental management with human resource policies and practices. The primary objective of this study is to examine the effects of Green HRM practices on employee workplace green behavior. Green HRM practices include green recruitment and selection, green training and development, green performance management, and green reward systems. These practices encourage employees to adopt environmentally responsible behavior in the workplace such as reducing energy consumption, recycling, and supporting environmental initiatives. This paper adopts a conceptual and analytical approach based on previous research studies and theoretical frameworks. The findings indicate that organizations implementing effective Green HRM practices are more likely to foster employee engagement in pro-environmental activities and improve organizational sustainability. Furthermore, the study highlights that employee motivation, organizational culture, and environmental awareness significantly influence the relationship between Green HRM practices and workplace green behavior. The study concludes that Green HRM plays a critical role in promoting environmentally responsible behavior among employees and contributes to long-term organizational sustainability.

 Abstract

The present study attempts to examine the impact of integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into Indian renewable energy companies in terms of profitability. As sustainability assumes greater importance in investment decisions and regulations, renewable energy companies need to ensure that good corporate governance is complemented by sound financial performance. The question that arises in this context is whether ESG is merely a reporting ritual or whether it actually enhances financial performance and firm value. The present study is based on three major renewable energy companies in India: Tata Power, Adani Green Energy Limited, and ReNew Energy Global Plc. By analyzing financial performance prior to, during, and after ESG integration, it attempts to examine how ESG factors impact revenue growth, EBITDA margin, Return on Equity (RoE), leverage ratio, and cash flow. A comparative analysis is used to spot trends in financial performance that correlate with ESG driven strategic changes in renewable energy companies. The findings reveal that ESG integration enhances operational efficiency, corporate governance, investor relations, and access to sustainable finance. As renewable energy companies invest in initial stage projects in the early years, their financial performance may be volatile. However, companies that exhibit steady ESG performance over a period exhibit robust EBITDA performance. The present study attempts to contribute to the debate on sustainable finance by providing evidence of ESG performance in emerging economies. As ESG factors are integrated into corporate strategy rather than being used merely for compliance, they enhance profitability and risk adjusted return for renewable energy companies. This study attempts to provide valuable insights into how ESG factors interact with financial performance in India's renewable energy sector.
