 Abstract

The demographic pattern of Assam is varied and diverse which is a residence of different ethnic groups with their distinctive cultures and identity. The ethnic groups of Assam comprised Mising, Bodo, Karbi, Rabha, Tiwa, Dimasas, Kachari, Sonowal, and so on. It could be considered that in the post-colonial period, the nation-building process in India shows state-designed policies of homogenization and integration of different ethnic groups within the fold of a dominant language, culture or umbrella type of identity. This opened up dissatisfaction among many ethnic communities leading to the beginning of movement for their cultural revivalism and establishment of identities. One such significant initiative is the movement of the Mising Community to establish socio-cultural and political identity. The socio-economic conditions of the Mising tribe were worse as compared to other communities. They gradually started to lose their original identity and were deprived of their basic needs. Eventually, some educated youth emerged and organized themselves creating an organization and also trying to create identity consciousness among the Mising Community. Particularly, during the time of the 1960s and 1970s, Mising tribal leaders had started agitation for the autonomous administration; it however has a long historical background. Along with the giving Bodo Tribe an autonomous institution and moreover there are many socio-economic, and political factors that contributed augmentation of the movement. After a long struggle, an Autonomous Council to rule the areas dominated by the community was created. It however now appears that the Council has failed to fulfill the expectations of the Mising people and demand for the constitutional safeguard under the Sixth Schedule. This paper will tend to analyze the movement and creation of the Mising Autonomous Council.

 Abstract

Waste management entails preventing trash, reusing waste, recycling, sorting recyclables from non-recyclables, and using waste as a fuel source. It also entails creating waste disposal systems and procedures, eradicating illegal dumps, and promoting waste management. The procedures involved in collecting, transferring, sorting, recycling, disposing, tracking, and monitoring trash are referred to as "waste management." The hardest part of recycling is gathering waste for recycling, or sorting waste, because it requires physical labour at numerous points, which raises the price of recycling. One of India's most urgent development challenges is solid waste management (SWM). Numerous studies have demonstrated that due to microbial decomposition, environmental conditions, refuse characteristics, and land-filling practices, inappropriate waste disposal results in the production of toxic gases and leachates. The majority of ULBs, however, struggle with a lack of adequate infrastructure as well as a number of institutional and strategic issues, such as insufficient institutional competency, constrained finance, and a lack of political will. Almost all Indian ULBs endure financial volatility, even though many of them do receive government funding. Every landfill site in India is already occupied, and the appropriate ULBs lack the funds to purchase more land. Since local authorities are unwilling to reserve property inside their borders for waste from neighbouring regions, finding additional dump sites is also difficult. To address these concerns, the Ministries of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) and Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) have created joint policies and programmes. The bulk of projects have, however, fallen short of their objectives due to stakeholder confusion, a lack of knowledge, and inadequate regulator enforcement. Each person generates 450 grams of waste each day, and this amount has been increasing at a rate of 1.3 percent every year. In 84,456 wards as of January 2020, waste production ranged from 32 MT to 22,080 MT daily. Sikkim generates the least (89 MT per day), while Maharashtra produces 22,080 MT per day (from 7,322 wards) (from 53 wards). Delhi produces the most garbage of any Union Territory, at 10,500 MT each day (UTs). In India, Daman & Diu have the lowest per-capita waste production. Solid waste processing, treatment, and disposal-composting, bio-methanation, recycling, refuse-derived fuel, incineration, pyrolysis, waste-to-wealth, and waste-to-energy are a few of the processing methods now used in India. This paper discusses recycling waste management in India.

 Abstract

Green revolution gave us immediate food security in a short period of time but it had many harmful ecological consequences. Green revolution pushed geneticaly modified seeds into the market, as a result farmers shifted their focus away from the traditional farming and adopted chemical farming for greater yields. Gandhian principle of Sarvodya can lead us to sustainable agriculture, which nourishes our soil, empowers our peasants and will make the society healthy. Organic farming, self help groups, empowering the village panchayats and preservation of indigenous seeds and animal breeds can help us to stride on the path of sarvodya.

 Abstract

The need for secure communication and data protection has become increasingly important in the digital age. As the use of digital technologies continues to grow, the need for secure communication and data protection also increases. Anomaly detection is a crucial aspect of data analytics that can identify suspicious behavior and detect malicious activities. This is particularly crucial in the cloud computing environment, where data is stored on multiple servers and accessed remotely by various users. The Local Pollination Grey Wolf Optimizer (LPGWO) is a global optimization algorithm that has been utilized in various applications. It is based on the concept of "cognitively guided exploration," which is a form of local search that utilizes an individual's experiences to direct the exploration. It has been successfully used to solve optimization problems in various fields, such as image processing, communication networks, and cryptography. The proposed algorithm is evaluated using various parameters, including the number of iterations, time complexity, and success rate. The performance of the proposed algorithm is then compared to existing RSA algorithms to determine its superiority. This paper presents a Local Pollination Grey Wolf Optimizer (LPGWO)-based RSA algorithm for anomaly detection in heterogeneous cloud data using machine learning techniques.

 Abstract

In 2019, the University Grants Commission (UGC) introduced the Quality Mandate initiative, which led to the development of guidelines on "Mulya Pravah - Inculcation of Human Values and Professional Ethics in Higher Educational Institutions." The fundamental objective of these guidelines was to foster the holistic development of students by integrating essential ethical principles and human values into the academic curriculum. However, despite the laudable intentions behind these guidelines, the effective implementation of value education programs has encountered challenges, notably the lack of familiarity among educators and a dearth of concerted efforts by universities to execute these transformative initiatives. This study aims at the teacher educators' perceptions regarding the efficacy of the 'Mulyapravah'. Survey and focusgroup discussions revealed that teachers have positive reception of UGC guidelines on value education. The results emphasis on strategies that promote student engagement, such as teaching that incorporates core values and activities centered around students, highlights the changing pedagogical trends in higher education. The study suggests a sample curriculum for undergraduate students that enriches their value acquisition through creative practicums.

 Abstract

With rapid industrialization and urbanization there is a tremendous demand for energy. There are today greater differences than ever before among the communities of man in their access to energy in their material standard of living and in their potential for survival. The lifestyles that have evolved in recent times are energy intensive in character. The resources for coal, oil, natural gas, petroleum, hydro power and nuclear power are very finite and get depleted at a very faster rate as these are exploited and explored to meet the demand of energy. The burning of fossil fuel has created air pollution and it leads to ecological imbalances. Industrial pollution leads to global warming and sea level rise. Keeping in view the above facts there is great need for energy conservation. Energy conservation means the most efficient use of energy or to minimize the utilization of energy. In order to tackle energy crisis renewable energy sources are the alternate sources of energy. Industrial sector is the foremost sector of an economy. The progress and economic development of any nation depends on industrial growth. Besides raw material and man power, energy plays a dominant role in industries. Cement industry is one of the major energy consuming industries and the optimum use of energy is at present important for our national economy. The energy cost is the highest component of cost structure of cement manufacture. Energy cost in Indian cement industry account for over 40 to 50 percent of the manufacturing cost of the cement. Out of this the share of thermal energy alone in the form of fuel is about 30 to 35 percent while the remaining 15 to 20 percent accounts for mainly electrical energy. The major sources of energy to Indian Cement Industry are coal and electrical power. In cement industry Electrical energy is used for many operations like Crushing,Grinding,Rolling etc., The present paper deals with the methods and technologies that can be adopted in cement process plants to optimize Electrical energy consumption to conserve energy.

 Abstract

Maternal health care and its related statistics are not yet satisfactory in India contributing 25% of the total maternal mortality rate in the world. Only half of the women population in the developing nation receives the World Health Organization's (WHO) prescribed antenatal check-ups. Various factors such as autonomy of women, education, occupation and the level of awareness are responsible in conceptualizing the attitude towards seeking prenatal health care. The objective of this study is identification of women education and its relation to the level of health seeking behaviour. It also tries to examine the occupation of the women whether it creates awareness or grants them freedom of making decisions of their life. Methodologically, it is a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection. The study area of the research is New Chandrawal village located near Jawahar Nagar, New Delhi. Semi-structured interview schedules were used along with in-depth case studies. All the respondents (15) were pregnant and aged between 19-34 years. Education, occupation and attitude and extent of usage of prenatal care were recorded. Information was also captured from the medical service providers which included the doctors and the Anganwadi workers and ANM's/ASHAs to understand the doctor-patient relationship. Major percentage of the population in the village lives below poverty line (BPL) and are not the native of Delhi. Education level is low and so is the awareness level. Regular visits to their native villages make it difficult for the service providers to keep a track on the high-risk pregnant women patients. The education level of women is directly proportional to the attitude of seeking prenatal health care. Since all the respondents were housewives; so, the relation between occupation and health care seeking behaviour could not be established. Various governmental policies have been activated in the area but still the traditional beliefs of childbirth persist making the maternal mortality ratio into a large figure. There is a need to understand the gap between what's been given and what is being received.

 Abstract

Children are major consumers of health care. Early child care is a very important and often overlooked component of child development. Child care providers are our children's first teachers, and therefore play an integral role in our systems of early childhood education. Quality care from a young age can have a huge impact on the future successes of children. Children always need special care to survive & thrive. Good health of previous members of society should be ensured as prime importance in all countries. As said by Karl Menninger "what is done to children, they will do to the society" children are wealth of tomorrows. Children express their needs and stories differently than do adults. Children do not yet have the vocabulary to express themselves as adults do. Historically, children have been considered "miniature adults". A child's act of play was even once considered "child's work" in attempt to legitimize a value that adults place on what a child does. Children are better able to express emotions through objects and through symbolic play; this idea is the basis of play therapy. One of the main reasons why play therapy works with children is because it feels natural to them; play is not something they need to learn how to do. Play promotes healing and helps the child to cope with stressful experiences. Children Won fear treatments are helped to release their feelings in their use of falls and other toys. The attitudes and feelings that children reveal in their play are full of meaning. Every opportunity should be afforded the hospitalized child to use play and other expensive activities to lessen stress, thus promoting healthy resolution of the negative aspects of the hospital experiences.
