Baby Boomers: they lead in a hierarchical manner. They place a high importance on performance, loyalty, and hard effort. They also frequently stress the value of connections in business.
Millennials: appreciate diversity and inclusion highly and are generally more cooperative and team-oriented than earlier generations. They consult with others before making choices. In general, they are also more tech-savvy than earlier generations.
The leadership style of Generation Z is continually evolving. They cherish honesty and openness and are highly at ease using social media and technology. They prioritize the welfare of people and hope to spur social change.

As a result, we need individuals who can adapt, accept change, and learn new things quickly. The emphasis now is more on how leaders manage their teams and bring out the best in each member, replacing the previous emphasis on hard abilities.
Objective- The focus of this study will be on VUCA characteristics that influence the various leadership styles adopted by millennials and Generation Z.
Methodology- For this study, data will be gathered from primary sources using a structured questionnaire consisting close ended question through convenience sampling method through a Google Form.

Dr. Mahesh Madhukar Patil & Chirag Vishwas Kajale
DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.11243649
Abstract
Certificate
India, marked by economic progress and technological strides, grapples with the persistent challenge of corruption that threatens its future. This paper explores the pivotal role played by English newspapers in fostering a culture of integrity within the nation. Acting as powerful instruments, these publications transcend geographical and linguistic barriers, engaging diverse audiences in critical discourse about ethical dilemmas and societal ills. Serving as vigilant watch dogs, English newspapers meticulously scrutinize those in power, expose corruption, and demand accountability, thereby contributing to the strengthening of India's democratic fabric.
Beyond their exposés, these newspapers champion marginalized voices, providing platforms for diverse perspectives on morality and integrity. Investigative journalism emerges as a catalyst for social movements, triggering public action and systemic reforms. Examining notable cases such as the 2G spectrum scam and the Satyam Computer Services scandal, the paper underscores the influential role of English newspapers in shaping public discourse and inspiring ethical action.
However, challenges like media bias, corporate influence, and limited reach to urban populations raise concerns about their impartiality and effectiveness. Bridging the information gap necessitates encouraging diverse media outlets and leveraging technology for inclusive conversations. Acknowledging these complexities, the paper advocates for ethical journalism, investigative focus, and embracing diversity to maximize the impact of English newspapers in promoting integrity.
The methodology involves a secondary data approach, utilizing existing academic literature, media reports, and online databases to analyze the framing of ethical issues and the portrayal of integrity in English newspapers. The results highlight the newspapers' role in exposing corruption, shaping public discourse, and inspiring change. Despite challenges, English newspapers, with their investigative spotlights, remain beacons in India's quest for a more just and equitable society. The conclusion emphasizes the ongoing pursuit of integrity, collective responsibility, and a call to nurture the flickering flame within English newspapers, transforming it into a guiding light for a nation where honesty and ethical conduct form the fabric of society.

Pratiksha Kharat
DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.11243718
Abstract
Certificate
The Gandhian approach, deeply rooted in principles of truth, non-violence, and service to humanity, offers a unique perspective on development in the modern era. This examination delves into the significance of Gandhi's social philosophy for development, particularly focusing on the concepts of appropriate technology (A.T.) and basic needs. Gandhi's philosophy emphasizes the importance of technology that aligns with basic human needs such as food, clothing, shelter, health, and education to promote greater equity and distributive justice.
Gandhi's emphasis on swadeshi (local self-reliance) and swaraj (independent development leading to equity and justice) underscores his vision for a sustainable and just society. By advocating for technology that is appropriate to basic needs rather than solely pursuing economic growth through advanced technology, Gandhi's approach aims to address issues of unemployment and inequitable growth prevalent in many developing countries.
The Gandhian approach to development offers a compelling alternative to traditional economic growth strategies by prioritizing equity, sustainability, and the well-being of all individuals. By embracing concepts like appropriate technology and basic needs, Gandhi's philosophy provides a roadmap for inclusive and sustainable development that resonates with the challenges and opportunities of the modern era.
