Published: June 2024

There are several hassles in daily life for visually challenged people. In light of this, it is very important to focus on the needs of those who are visually impaired. To help people who are vision impaired to enjoy normal lives, researchers approach the issue from a variety of angles. The white cane is the support system and it enables a sense of being free, independent and self-assured. They can easily take care of their daily tasks thanks to the proposed smart cane's design, which includes an obstacle detection module, heat detection, water detection, light detection, pit and staircase detection using Infrared (IR) sensors, Global Positioning System (GPS), and Global System for Mobile (GSM). The obstacle detection module detects obstacles using ultrasonic range and a camera, intimating the user of the obstacle's detection as well as details about the obstacle. The Raspberry Pi is used to send a voice message through the headset to the visually impaired user regarding the information about what the object is. The person's current location is determined using the GPS and provided as a text message as well as a voice message using a headset. Raspberry Pi is made use of to identify traffic lights, and it notifies the user via a headset whether to wait for the signal or move. If the blind person loses the cane, none of the above mentioned conveniences are available. To accomplish this, an alarm is fixed inside the smart cane which is coupled to their mobile phones. This alarm is used for finding the smart cane if it is missing or placed elsewhere.

Since this is a global phenomenon the actions taken by state actors reflect the nature of contested approach regarding some of the difficulties associated with global climate change politics. ‘We must acknowledge that the debate over climate change, like almost all environmental issues, is a debate over culture, worldviews, and ideology’ (Hoffman, 2012: 32). This chapter focuses on India’s transition from a voice of protest on the fringes of global climate policy to one that is pro-actively involved in shaping international efforts to combat climate change. Shifts in India’s climate change negotiations have been but a part of its overall foreign policy adjustments in favour of greater responsibility in management of the global commons. The emerging and enhanced soft power diplomacy has given India a better negotiating position as well a challenging role in global climate action agenda. The question therefore arises, in the present scenario is India in a better position to negotiate and carve a place for itself globally in climate policy debates?

TAX ON PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS AND FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF PEOPLE IN INDIA – ANALYSIS
Authors: K. Rajeshkumar Mr.
Published: June 2024

No government can exist without taxes. If that government exists without imposing such taxes, it means that the wealth is more in that country. As much as taxes are important to a country, a person needs medicine to recover from illness. Government should take necessary steps for that. The right to life is one of the fundamental rights of India as it has been emphasized by the Supreme Court of India in many cases and the Constitution of India also mentions it. This has been addressed not only at the Indian level but also at the global level through the Human Rights Act. In this ever-changing scenario, the prices of the things we consume go up and down. Not only food but pharmaceutical products are also subject to fluctuations in employment. Due to this people are facing great difficulty in buying it. Medicines for some rare diseases are very difficult to obtain and the cost is high when a work is imported from the country where it is available. When Indian Medicine manufacturers buy materials from abroad for manufacturing drugs, the Indian government imposes a levy on the goods. The Supreme Court cannot reduce or increase the duty on importable pharmaceutical products because it has been stated that it is the policy of the government. Although India is a leading producer of pharmaceuticals, it depends on other countries for medicines for some rare diseases. In this, medicinal products such as Ayurveda Siddha, which are manufactured and used in India, are also taxed.
REFUGEES AND THE NEW VARIANT OF INDIAN FEDERALISM: THREE COMPARATIVE CASE STUDIES UNDER THE NDA-II REGIME
Authors: Jaiswal Muskan
Published: June 2024

India, a Union of States and naught Federation, treats Refugees with compounded ambiguities. This paper with the help of doctrinal legal presentation, highlights how the Refugees in Indian federal jurisdiction are defined, situated and operated as a meso-identity between the Union and the States under the NDA-II regime. Being a South Asian nation, India's aversion to sign the globally recognized Magna Carta on Refugees -the United Nations Convention on Refugees (1951) and the Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees (1967), added with the absence of a concrete National Asylum Policy provides a free discretional space where partisan based ideological oscillation decides the fate of Refugee Identity in Indian Politics. To substantiate this presupposition, the research undertakes a three bi-partisan model of descriptive comparative case analysis of Indian states- namely, Assam (ruled by the same party at the centre and state, i.e. BJP); West Bengal (ruled by the oppositional forces, i.e. BJP at the centre and AITC in the state); and Mizoram (ruled by a coalition government comprising BJP and MNF), showcases a sui generis presence of cooperative and competitive federal dialogues in Indian polity with regard to the management of Refugee Crisis. Alongside, the paper highlights on how the inclusion of dimension of religious intelligible differentia under the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, by the Union government, aggravated the federal political discourses on Citizenship, Refugees and secular-democratic intentions of the government. Further, by culminating the visible trends of neo-federal dimension, this research intends to investigate– i.) How does the absence of a National Asylum Policy on Refugees affect the behaviour of the Centre and States in treating refugees? ii.) On what parameters do Centre and the States behavioural responses converge and diverge in terms of the modes of acceptance and rejection of Refugees? iii.) To what extent does the Refugee Identity influence the discourse of nationalism and subnationalism? Does it reflect any ethnic regional variations? The paper relies on qualitative content analysis of primary data (treaties, conventions, constitution, court cases, parliamentary debates, statutes, diplomatic records, manifestos, etc), and the secondary data (media reports, journal articles, reviews, and academic books) to identify the federal dynamism on ‘Refugees’ visible along the intersecting lines of nationalism and subnationalism, setting an interactive neo-federal meso-level category in Indian polity.

VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF METALLIC THIN CYLINDERS – AN ANALYTICAL APPROACH
Authors: Kumar P. Kiran , Amireddy Kiran Kumar , Subramanyam J.V.
Published: June 2024

Vibrations are inherent in dynamic mechanical systems. Suppression of vibrations is not an easy task. The amplitude of these vibrations can be minimized under external excitation or possibly transferred to another system. Determination of natural frequencies is paramount importance in design, so that these natural frequencies can be avoided during the operation of the element. Cylindrical shells are used for many applications, water tanks, heat exchangers, reactors, in chemical industries for distillation, smoke chimneys. These shells can be considered as thin shell depending on the ratio of diameter to the thickness. This paper evaluates the vibration characteristics of thin vibrating cylindrical shells made of metallic materials. To make a mathematical model, a thin long vertical cylinder is considered with one end fixed. The thin shell is assumed as a cantilever without fluid, a simple model was developed and frequencies are noted and this model is improved by attaching a mass at the free end, usually referred as tip mass. It is noted that there is a decrease in the fundamental frequencies. Further as the ratio of tip mass to the beam mass exceeds 1, there is a considerable decrease in the fundamental frequencies. Most commercial applications and also in industries, stain steel thin cylinder of thickness 2 mm and 3 mm were used, we considered the same for analysis.

Housing is a basic requirement of human beings and very important need for every citizen. Adequate shelter for each and every household is a fundamental pre-requisite for a healthy living in any society. From a social point of view, Housing not only provides economic security but also provides status in the society. Good quality of house leads increases physical, mental and psychological strength along with standard of living. A house also protects a poor household from the vagaries of nature, in the absence of which they are forced to take to streets and live in open. In this regard the Government of India and the State government provide housing schemes to Indian citizens so that it allows the middle and lower income group to have their own houses, which they are unable to do so due to their financial status. The present study attempts to evaluate the performance of Basava Housing Scheme and also intends to offer policy suggestions according to findings found during the study. The current study is confined to Navoor Village, Belthangady Taluk of Karnataka State. The study goes on with both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaire and one to one interaction. The secondary data had been collected from various research papers, magazines, articles, various journals, and is also based on the published, unpublished and electronic referred sources
ANALYSIS OF THE GROWTH TRENDS IN AREA, PRODUCTION AND YIELD OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION - FOOD GRAINS IN POST LIBERALIZATION PERIOD IN INDIA
Authors: Kutty. V Dr. Krishnan
Published: June 2024

The trend in the area under cultivation, agricultural production of food grains, and yield per hectare are all measures of its economic impact. This study's goal is to examine the acreage, productivity, and yield of food grain farming in India from 1991–1992 through 2020–2021 after liberalization. To accomplish the goals, secondary data was acquired from the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, the Reserve Bank of India, the Indian government, the Indian Coffee Board, and the Indian Tea Board.The average annual growth rate (AAGR), compound annual growth rate (CAGR), and linear trend line were used to evaluate the growth rate of the area, production, and yield of food grains. The study found that food grain production in lakh tonnes was 1906.81, 2152.91, and 2736.58; food grain yield in kilogrammes per hectare was 1550, 1761.6, and 2181.3; and the average decade rates of area under cultivation of food grains were correspondingly 1229.5, 1220.5, and 1254.5. The area expansion and yield were the primary factors that increased food grain output. Because of this, the emphasis should be on enlarging the area by using enough land and promoting technical advancement and research in India's agricultural sector.
FORENSIC ANTIQUITY: THE UNREVEALED DEVELOPMENT OF FORENSICS FROM ANCIENT TIME
Authors: Saha Adrita
Published: June 2024

Forensic science combines principles and techniques from natural science to study criminal and civil laws, as well as to recognize, identify, individualize, and appraise physical evidence. Standardized forensic science procedures were absent in the ancient world, which let criminals avoid punishment. Oaths, confessions, and witness testimony were used in criminal investigations and court cases. Some civilizations used procedures like trial by ordeal to judge guilt or innocence in that era when a distinction between science and elements like religion, magic, and superstition hadn't yet been created. Nevertheless, numerous instances of old methods that predate forensic science theories were made possible by the scientific revolution decades later. These methods predated the scientific method and instead relied on practical experience and common sense rather than a modern grasp of science.
ARDL and VECM Investigation of the Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis in Egypt, India, Mexico, Pakistan, Thailand, and Turkey: Financial Development, Globalization, and Government Expenditure Implications for Sustainable Development
Authors: Fukuda Takashi
Published: June 2024

The present paper empirically examines the validity of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis, which posits an inverted U-shaped relationship between CO2 emissions and economic growth, in Egypt, India, Mexico, Pakistan, Thailand, and Turkey for the period 1970-2020. The EKC validity is highly debated due to varying results across countries. This study is significant to addresses this controversy by estimating the EKC's robustness while considering the influence of financial development, globalization, and government expenditure. We employ two cointegration techniques, the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and vector error correction model (VECM), also considering potential structural breaks in the data. Out key findings indicate that the EKC hypothesis is supported in India, Pakistan, and Turkey, with carbon emissions eventually declining after reaching a peak. The hypothesis is not supported in Egypt and Thailand, where emissions rise monotonically with economic growth. In Mexico, the results are mixed, with ARDL suggesting a U-shaped relationship and VECM supporting the EKC. From our empirical analysis of the EKC hypothesis, we derive the following policy implications: 1) countries should adopt comprehensive policy strategies that integrate these goals and fully consider the long-term environmental and societal impacts of their decisions; 2) countries should invest heavily in research and development to accelerate the creation of new technologies that can effectively reduce carbon emissions; and 3) countries must actively raise awareness about the environmental repercussions of economic growth.
