 Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems has been accompanied by unprecedented levels of data collection, enabling powerful inference capabilities. While these developments drive innovation and efficiency across sectors, they raise critical concerns about user privacy. This paper explores the risks associated with large-scale data collection and inference in modern AI systems. We examine how extensive datasets can be exploited to uncover sensitive information, leading to privacy breaches, profiling, and potential misuse. Furthermore, we discuss various privacy-preserving techniques and legal frameworks designed to mitigate these risks. This paper highlights current challenges and solutions, contributing to ongoing discussions on safeguarding privacy in the age of AI, emphasizing the need for responsible data handling and transparent AI practices.

The access to electricity is one of the basic services and it is vital for the development of all other sectors. To achieve total rural electrification, the Government of India has introduced numerous schemes and projects over the last few decades.

As such, it the Village Electricity Management Board (VEMB) that manages, supervises and carry out responsibilities to ensure smooth delivery of power services in every villages. Within this backdrop, the paper attempts to identify the role of village governance in electricity management and aims to find out the activities and actions undertaken by the VEMB and other village governing bodies to facilitate efficient power supply in Nerhema.

 Abstract

India's banking system differs greatly from other Asian countries due to the nation's distinct geographic, social, and profitable features. India is a country with a sizable population, a vast home, a varied culture, and stark indigenous variations in income. The Indian banking sector stands at a vital juncture, witnessing dynamic metamorphoses amidst a background of technological advancements, non-supervisory reforms, and evolving consumer behaviours. This study explores the Indian banking sector's elaboration, challenges, and openings. It uses an in- depth analysis of secondary data, including periodic reports, literature, and internet coffers. The study concludes that the banking sector has experienced significant metamorphoses due to technological advancements, nonsupervisory reforms, and consumer geste shifts. The Reserve Bank of India regulates operations, while digital technologies, strategic fintech collaborations, and client- centric approaches are current. Despite challenges like non-performing means, technological dislocations, and competition, the sector presents growth openings and requires collaboration between nonsupervisory bodies, fiscal institutions, and stakeholders for adaptability and sustainability.

 Abstract

Semisolid cosmetic formulations called facial scrubs are meant to be applied topically to aid in the exfoliation of the stratum corneum, the removal of debris, and the improvement of skin rejuvenation. The formulation and evaluation of a herbal facial scrub that combines skin-beneficial excipients with natural exfoliating agents are the focus of this work. The ingredients like Masoor dal, Ficus religiosa, Mint, Himalayan Pink Salt, Millet, Sunflower, Cinnamon, Charcoal, poppy seeds, fenugreek seeds are used in facial scrub as an exfoliating agent. For mechanical exfoliation, natural abrasives like rice bran, oat husk, and walnut shell powder were used. Skin texture, blood circulation, pores unclogging, and topical product absorption all benefit from regular exfoliation. Natural ingredients are increasingly being used in scrubs due to their biodegradability, safety, and added therapeutic benefits. Conventional scrubs typically contain synthetic exfoliating agents. To improve skin texture and radiance, the formulation makes use of the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties of herbal ingredients.

Abstract: Professional commitment is widely seen as a key factor affecting teacher effectiveness, student outcomes, and overall school growth. While traditional views define commitment in terms of emotional attachment, loyalty to the organization, or cost-benefit analysis, they often miss its moral and ethical aspects. This paper argues that we should view professional commitment in teaching as a moral concept. It is based on teachers' ethical values, sense of vocation, and social responsibility. By combining theories, philosophy, and education, this paper explores how moral agency, integrity, and ethical reasoning influence teachers' long-term dedication to their work, even when facing systemic challenges. It also suggests a model that treats professional commitment as a moral issue, emphasizing its impact on teacher education, professional growth, and policy decisions. Viewing professional commitment as a moral concept gives a clearer understanding of teaching, recognizing educators as not just skilled workers but also as moral agents shaping the future.

 Abstract

This paper examines Bengali terracotta artefacts through the analytical lens of product design, arguing that these objects represent a profound synthesis of cultural narrative and material craftsmanship. It posits that the form, function, and aesthetic of these products are not merely decorative but are intrinsically shaped by a triad of factors: deep-rooted cultural imperatives (religious symbolism, folklore, and social documentation), the material constraints and affordances of local river clay, and traditional manufacturing techniques (hand-moulding, coiling, and wood-firing). The research employs a secondary research methodology to deconstruct these artefacts, analysing how design choices--from the intricate narrative panels of Bishnupur temples to the ethnographic realism of Krishnanagar dolls--were solutions to specific functional, symbolic, and production problems. Furthermore, the paper investigates the contemporary challenges of preservation, commercialisation, and technological adaptation, framing them as product design issues concerning sustainability, authenticity, and innovation within a traditional craft ecosystem. The study concludes that Bengali terracotta art offers a vital case study for culturally-grounded design, providing valuable insights for designers seeking to create products that are simultaneously meaningful, manufacturable, and marketable in a global context.
