 Abstract

The development of soft skills along with hard skills is of utmost important to succeed at the workplace and in the specific job role. It becomes much more important for bank employees as they perform sensitive roles like accepting money deposits and lending of loans. Being aware of the personal emotions and of the customers helps in improving the behavior and enhancing the performance of individuals is this sector. Thus, the study of emotions becomes important in this emotionally changing environment. Emotional Intelligence is defined as the capacity for recognizing one's own feelings and those of the others, for motivating oneself, and for managing emotions well in oneself and in the relationships. The aim of this research is to survey the emotions set of the employees in Himachal Pradesh State Cooperative Bank in relation to their gender. The survey has been carried out among bank employees on a sample size of 60, selected via non-probability sampling method in which convenience cum judgemental sampling technique was used. The opinion survey was conducted on a 5-point Likert Scale questionnaire having the five dimensions of emotional intelligence i.e. self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and relationship management as given by Daniel Goleman. The collected data was analyzed with the help of Mean and Standard Deviation etc. From the results of the survey, it has been found that employee groups do differ from each other on the dimensions of emotional intelligence in relation to their gender. The gender response analysis showed that Self-Awareness was the most dominant dimension in both the genders. Relationship management dimension was found to be the weakest among males while Self-Management was found to be the weakest among females. Thus, it is suggested that E.I. counseling and sensitivity training to the employees may add more value to the overall working of the bank.

Citrus indica, an endangered citrus species native to north-eastern India, holds significant genetic and medicinal value, making it a vital resource for citrus breeding programs and conservation efforts. Traditional cultivation methods face challenges such as low seed viability, disease susceptibility, and habitat destruction. Micropropagation offers a promising solution for the large-scale production of disease-free and genetically uniform plants, enhancing cultivation and conservation practices for C. indica. This review explores the various micropropagation techniques employed for C. indica, including explant selection, culture media composition, and optimal environmental conditions. The stages of micropropagation, from initiation to acclimatization, are detailed, highlighting their critical role in successful plantlet establishment. Additionally, the advantages of micropropagation, such as mass production, disease-free plants, and genetic uniformity, are discussed alongside the limitations, including high initial costs, technical expertise requirements, contamination risks, and somaclonal variation. Future challenges and prospects, such as protocol optimization, genetic fidelity assessment, cryopreservation, genetic transformation, and collaborative efforts, are addressed to underline the need for continued research and innovation. By overcoming these challenges, micropropagation can significantly enhance the cultivation practices of C. indica and contribute to the conservation of this valuable species.

Abstract There is many historical importance of Kachugaon during the colonial period, its importance was greatly emphasized by the British individuals, and the impact of the foreign rule left a huge trademark which can still be seen. Kachugaon has contributed in a huge margin during that era in creation of political and socio-economic status of Assam. There are still historical sites and places which proves that an event that had happened and it tells us different stories of Kachugaon and its origin of the story. The exploitative nature of Britishers can be seen through the creation of certain infrastructures and government offices in the zone of Kachugaon. Forest of Kachugaon was also put under one of the reserved areas. However, in the present, certain people still exploit its resources even though it is under protection. The conflicts and the violence over the last decades have also thrown the area into disorder. The negligence of government over those area has also led to a failure in preservation of those sites and places. Only one of those is still preserved and still in use that is the building of Forest I.B and rest are left in ruins. Therefore, an effort is made towards writing this article on "A Historical Importance of Kachugaon during colonial period".

 Abstract

The Indian sugar industry is India's second largest agricultural industry after the cotton textile industry; It plays an important role in establishing the economic process and bringing economic change to underdeveloped regions. The sugar industry accounts for 7.5% of the total rural population and provides employment to 500,000 rural people. About 450 million farmers in India are involved in rice cultivation. Sugar mills (cooperative, private and public) have played an important role in many commercial projects in India. This article attempts to examine the progress of the Indian sugar industry to understand the issues and challenges in the ongoing liberalization process. The Indian sugar industry can become a global leader if it breaks free from the cycle of sugar shortage and surplus, reduced sugar production, reduced sugar, increased production costs and increased losses. It requires effective management at all levels of operations to increase production and productivity. Attention should be paid to reducing costs and commitment in the production of products.

In culinary, cosmetic, hygiene, and pharmaceutical goods, the derivatives of benzoic acid like ester, Hydroxy benzene, benzaldehyde, phenyl esters are frequently employed in many areas like they show antibacterial activity, antifungal activities, are used as flavouring agents and act as antifungal preservatives. These substances are widely disseminated in the society for their use Which have a profound effect on human health as they are available in air and soil for the manufacture of chemical substances. A naturally occurring organic substance, as well as synthetically produced benzoic acid, are both available. The study focuses on its numerous biological features, including nematicidal, antiviral, antifungal, antimutagenic, antiestrogenic, hypoglycemic, and anti-inflammatory. It has been shown that several derivatives of benzoic acid have direct effects on the haemoglobin, which can cure odema which is produced by direct use of acetic acid as well as some time also use for the treatment of sickle cell anemia. The biological activities of 4-BHA and its derivatives is thoroughly explained by the current investigation. Consequently, benzoic acid and its derivatives can have high, frequent, and prolonged human exposure.

 Abstract

India's economic landscape thrives on the dynamism of its Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and individual entrepreneurs. These entities, often referred to as the "lifeblood" of the economy as they contribute significantly to job creation, innovation, and overall growth. However, their journey toward success faces a significant hurdle of limited access to formal credit. Several factors contribute to this challenge. The traditional credit landscape relies heavily on information asymmetry, where lenders struggle to accurately assess the creditworthiness of borrowers with limited or no formal credit history because of which many MSMEs and individuals, particularly those who are new to the market or are operating outside the formal economy become invisible to potential lenders. Secondly, stringent collateral requirements, which often involves physical assets like land or property, act as a barrier to entry, it effectively excludes those who lack such resources. Furthermore, high operational costs which is associated with processing small loans make them less attractive for lenders, further restricting access to affordable credit. These limitations create a vicious cycle that hinders financial inclusion and stifles the economic potential of a significant portion of the Indian population. Individuals and businesses are unable to access the financial resources they need to start, grow, and contribute effectively to the economic landscape. It is within this context that the Open Credit Enablement Network (OCEN) emerges as a beacon of hope. This is an innovative framework which is aiming to democratize the small credit market it is trying to break down the existing barriers and foster a more inclusive and accessible financial ecosystem. OCEN presents a unique opportunity to empower individuals and businesses, paving the way for economic growth and financial stability for all. This research delves into the potential of OCEN to transform the credit landscape in India. By exploring its functionalities, impact on stakeholders, and potential challenges, this study aims to shed light on how OCEN can empower individuals and businesses, ultimately contributing to a more prosperous and inclusive India.
