This paper examines the concept of gamification in education, emphasizing its benefits and challenges through an extensive review of existing literature. Gamification has been increasingly adopted as a pedagogical tool in various educational contexts to enhance student engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes. This review synthesizes findings from multiple studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of gamification on both students and educators. Additionally, the paper identifies gaps in the current literature and proposes directions for future research.

With the increasing frequency and severity of cyclonic events, accurate and timely prediction of cyclone intensity is critical for disaster preparedness. This research introduces a deep learning framework for predicting cyclone intensity using satellite imagery. Our approach leverages convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to extract complex features from satellite images, complemented by the Dvorak technique for analyzing eye structure and cloud top temperatures. Additionally, we integrate Decision Tree and Random Forest algorithms to enhance prediction accuracy. Trained on a comprehensive dataset of historical cyclone imagery, our model demonstrates significant improvements in prediction accuracy and efficiency compared to traditional methods. By integrating this deep learning framework into operational forecasting systems, our approach provides enhanced predictive capabilities, supporting more effective preparation and response strategies for regions at risk.

Digital penetration in general has seen major improvement in recent years. This has come to rescue the education sector in times of global pandemic and consequent lock downs. There has been invent of various tools and platforms on which education is being provided to student and teacher community. This paper has examined the awareness of digital education among pre-service teacher of B.Ed. and M.Ed. in terms of knowledge about digital education and skill of using digital applications, digital medium and digital devices. The present study also explored the differences in awareness of digital education among pre-service teachers by gender, teacher education course, and level of educational qualification. The researcher prepared a close ended structured questionnaire measuring the responses in lieu of knowledge and skill about digital education. It was found that majority of the pre-service teachers were adequately aware about leaning management system, spam, MOOC and virtual labs. The pre-service teachers were found to have good skill in using word process application, presentation application and video sharing sites. Only around 20% of the pre-service teachers were part of any forum or interests’ group and used virtual labs in teaching. It was also found that pre-service teachers have adequate knowledge about digital education and skill of using digital medium and digital devices as the mean score was more than fifty percent. It was observed that the awareness about government initiatives in digital education was not adequate among pre-service teachers.

Kiran Desai is one of the talented and ambitious younger Indian diasporic writers who have a significant role in portraying and reflecting the difficulties and complexities of the experiences of the immigrants in literature. Kiran Desai’s most notable novel, “The Inheritance of Loss” (2006) is set in Kalimpong, which is situated at the foot of mount Kanchenjunga in the North Eastern part of post -Independence India. This novel explores immigration, relationships and identity on both the interpersonal and international scale. Spanning India, England, and the United States, the novel details the conflict between traditional Indian ways of life and the shiny opulence of Western nations. The book won several awards, including the Man Booker Prize in 2006 and the National Book Critics Circle Fiction Award in 2007. Desai wrote the book in the seven years following her 1998 debut, Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard. The novel highlights some of the outstanding issues of contemporary society such as globalization, marginalization, subordination, economic inequality, exploitation, poverty, nationalism, insurgency, immigration, hybridity, racial discrimination and political violence.To sum up , the novel deals with the conflict of culture , on the global level ; and on the personal level it deals with the internal conflict if identity ( the past and present ). In THE INHERITANCE OF LOSS, Desai tries to capture the pain and dilemma of an immigrant.

This study delves into waste management in the Mira Bhayander region, with a specific focus on examination of public's understanding of waste management as well as emphasizing the importance of waste management literacy. It also studies the issue of food waste, as globally, about one third of all food produced for human consumption is wasted each year along the supply chain. This paper focuses on the food waste generated by hospitals, as hospitals are estimated to be responsible for more than two times the food waste of other food service sectors. The research is based on Mix-method research approach. The primary objective is to scrutinize the effectiveness of various waste management strategies and impact of various governmental policies, and suggest improvements in policies. This research also analyses various governmental programs that are initiated to raise awareness about waste segregation, recycling, and the environmental consequences of improper waste disposal within the broader community. This study highlights the importance of efficient waste management for sustainable development.

Aegle marmelos C. (Fam. Citraceae), traditionally used as ethano-botanical drug, containing Fluoroquinolone which reacts with copper when kept over-night in water in copper container which is used as anti-bacterial, immunity booster crude drug. The studies exhibit that it improves digestion as it is affecting gastro-intestinal parasite. It was stated that the copper in any liquid is useful up to 2ppm and may be harmful if it is more than 3ppm. When analysed with Atomic Spectroscopy (AS), it was observed that the solution prepared contains 1.7ppm which is helping to improve gastro-intestinal problems. This formulation has helped many cancer patients, when surveyed. Further research is in progress.

Today, we are witnessing a global ecological crisis and concerns at the expense of growth and development projects that have reached even the most remote corners of the globe. Despite significant improvements in development indicators such as health status, education, poverty reduction and life expectancy, the world encounters ecological debt owing to increased pressure on natural resources to meet the demands of growth and advancement (Aggarwal, 2008). The issue of sustainability has plagued developing countries around the world, including India, these countries have over-exploited their natural resources. Therefore, the present study contextualizes the significance of native knowledge for conserving fragile resources and sustainable development. Cultural traditions and knowledge which are embedded in the beliefs and practices of the natives have conserved and protected nature for centuries. They have used natural resources responsibly; therefore, their knowledge is critical in promoting sustainable development as it continually delivers insights, ideas, and abilities rooted in harmonious natural relationships. For this study a systematic literature search on native knowledge and sustainable development was conducted on databases such as PubMed, Research Gate, Academia and Google Scholar. The literature search resulted in a selection of 33 papers. The title search string used for the present study includes Native knowledge, Indigenous knowledge, local knowledge, green wisdom, traditional knowledge, local wisdom, sustainable development, etc. The findings suggest that native knowledge can play a substantial role in sustainable development such as food system, Land and resource management, Medicinal knowledge, Climate change, Disaster Risk Management and Indigenous Tourism.
