 Abstract

Poverty is a malady that has affected a section of the people even in rich countries. Poverty has been understood differently by different people in different times. Poverty is the greatest challenge for economic development of country. Although Scheduled Castes people constitute a large section of population of Dhubri district, their lives are still characterized by hard work, drudgery and without any adequate basic amenities. A big chunk of them generally live in the slum areas without adequate basic accommodation, water-supply, sanitation, light, public health etc. Many of them, again who are landless and unemployed, migrate from the rural areas to the city and towns in search of labour, jobs, contracts and other petty wage-earning employments. Poverty, malnutrition and consequent indebtedness are the socio-economic constraints inherited by the Scheduled Castes people from their fore- fathers and these problems still remained unsolved even in spite of the implementation of the special component plan within the state. The main objectives of the research study will be to identify the problems faced by the Scheduled Castes people of Assam as well as Dhubri district which are responsible for their backwardness. And also to suggest remedial measures for improving their socio-economic condition on the basis of the findings, so that the scheduled castes people of Assam in particular of Dhubri district can improve their quality of life. The methodology of the research project will be based on both primary as well as secondary data. The primary data will be collected from various sources and the secondary data will be collected by doing field survey from the sample households of the sample villages with the help of a series of questionnaires prepared for the purpose.

These days, everything from customer service to product design uses e-commerce. Consumers are choosing electronic commerce more and more often to buy any kind of good or service and to pay their bills online. The development and acceptance of electronic money gave rise to a variety of forms, which enhanced the functionality of these systems across a range of gadgets. For payers, payees, electronic commerce, banks, companies, and governments, there are numerous advantages to the electronic payment system. The primary goal of the study is to understand how consumers feel about and would like to use the e-payment system. Based on extant literature, the research investigates the diverse elements that propel consumers to employ electronic payment solutions. The study came to the conclusion that while overall customer satisfaction with the e-payment system is adequate, it is not particularly high. The study also confirms that consumers are more satisfied in those platforms which provide robust transaction security protocols and highly responsive customer support over other aspects such as speed, convenience and complexity. To improve customer satisfaction, the e-payment system needs to innovate

Abstract The aim of the study is to investigate the awareness of financial products and services among tribal community in Kannur district by focusing basic banking services and technology oriented financial products and services. In recent years, form of financial transaction has vast challenge in all transaction methods due to the development of communication and transaction technology. All the societies adopted the same along with the development but the socially and educationally weaker section lag behind it, especially tribal communities. A well-structured form of survey methodology is applied to investigate the awareness of financial products and services among the tribal community in the study area. The sample of 200 tribal households from Aralam panchayat of Kannur district (Kerala) was randomly selected. The study found that the majority of the members of the tribal community have adequate awareness on basic banking services. But most of the persons from tribal communities not aware about the financial products and services provided by the banks especially technology oriented services.

 Abstract

The literary contributions of A.J. Cronin embody humanist principles by delving into themes of empathy, social justice, individual dignity, and the transformative influence of education. His novels serve as a critique of societal shortcomings while simultaneously honoring the resilience and moral fortitude of individuals, which resonates with the core tenets of humanism. Cronin's writing is distinguished by a deep commitment to social justice, empathy, and the human experience, aligning with the fundamental aspects of humanism. This philosophical and ethical perspective underscores the importance and agency of human beings, both individually and collectively, emphasizing human values, critical reasoning, and the potential for advancement through rational thought and compassion. In his short story "The Best Investment I Ever Made," Cronin exemplifies the essence of humanism through a personal narrative that highlights the significant impact of a seemingly minor act of kindness and its far-reaching consequences on his life and the lives of others.

 Abstract

Groundnut, a legume largely consumed by most populations in the world, is widely grown as a food crop. Groundnut seed is a rich source of protein and fat. Hence, may be employed in animal feeds and human diet. Roasting of groundnut, which is a traditional processing method, can affect its nutrient properties. This study was aimed at assessing the effect of some selected traditional processing methods (roasting in local kiln with pretreatments like salt concentration, dipping time, drying time and groundnut: sand ratio) on the protein and fat composition of groundnut. Standard procedures were employed in the determination of the nutrient composition of raw groundnut samples with emphasis on the fat and protein content. The results for nutrient composition of the roasted groundnut was observed to be significant (P<0.05) for protein, fat, moisture and ash content when compared with the raw groundnut sample. The moisture content of the raw groundnut samples was significantly higher than that of the processed samples. The result indicated that roasting of groundnut with pretreatments significantly enhanced the nutrient quality of groundnut. Hence, the traditional processing method of groundnut could effectively enhance the nutritional value of groundnut and for industrial/commercial purposes.

 Abstract

The primary intent of the research is to bestow a well-furnished historical account that incorporates a totality of historical events including social and political currents.Which made the continuation of Pallava possible in ruling over such extensive territory for longer period of time. It also addresses the dynamic nature of Pallava Kings and their influential stance over the matter of political administration, social, cultural, economic and architectural aspects of the dynasty. The relevant sources in reconstructing the historicity of Pallava kings of south India were inadequate and insufficient in nature. Moreover, those sources of traditional knowledge were also biased and misleading till certain extent. With the discovery of various inscription on stone and copper plate brought little adequacy in studying the history of Pallavas, who ruled for seven centuries over Tamil land. Whereas, literary tradition from the hymns of Alvarsand from the other texts: Nandikalambakam, the Periyapuranam, Chintamani, Avantisundarikathasara are providing information mainly upon the cultural prospects of Pallava period.

 Abstract

Dylan is a well-known writer whose inspirations have already spawned a number of studies, the most influential of which is unquestionably Dylan's Visions of Sin by Christopher Ricks (2003). Ricks claims that the Bible and the Anglo-American literary canon, which includes authors like Yeats and Milton as well as writers spanning from Shakespeare to T. S. Eliot, are among Dylan's sources. My goal in presenting the Indian tradition is to highlight yet another inspiration.The most personal aspect of the poet's creativity--his dubious conception of biological fertility--may very well have found expression in the Amerindian substratum found in a few lines from the Dylan corpus.

 Abstract

E-Governance has revolutionized the ambit of governance by making it efficient, easy and transparent through the services offered under ICT. These ICT policies are understood through the implementation of the programs envisaged therein, in the state of Mizoram. The more popular programs and flagships started by Government of Mizoram including SDC, CDC, E-Districts, E-Plan etc have been documented contextually and their roles in bettering governance is studied. It is found that these e-initiatives have opened up governance frameworks through inclusive, responsive and effective initiation of policies and programs and accelerated pace of work by the various departments. Considering that the shortfalls in the implementation can be addressed by better connectivity of rural populace through sound internet connection and other paraphernalia, it is now up to the administrators and leaders to quantify the roles and responsibilities that ICT can address in achieving the overall development of the state.
