Innovation is a fundamental driver of economic growth and competitive advantage, particularly for new ventures that rely on novel technologies and creative business models to establish themselves in the market. However, rapid innovation often brings significant risks and ethical challenges, including concerns related to data privacy, consumer protection, environmental sustainability, social inequality, and regulatory compliance. These challenges highlight the need for a responsible approach to innovation that balances technological progress with ethical considerations and effective risk management. This study examines the concept of responsible innovation and its relevance to new ventures operating in uncertain and highly competitive environments. It seeks to analyze the types of risks associated with innovative activities and to identify the ethical issues that arise during the development and commercialization of new products and services. The study also explores the relationship between risk management and ethical responsibility, emphasizing how ethical decision-making can reduce potential harm and enhance long-term business sustainability. Furthermore, the research focuses on the role of entrepreneurs and stakeholders in promoting responsible innovation practices. It considers the influence of regulatory frameworks and public policies in guiding ethical behavior and ensuring accountability in innovative ventures. By integrating ethical principles into risk management strategies, new ventures can improve trust, protect stakeholders, and achieve sustainable growth. The findings of this study suggest that responsible innovation is not merely a moral obligation but also a strategic necessity for long-term success. New ventures that adopt responsible innovation practices are better positioned to manage uncertainty, minimize negative social and environmental impacts, and build strong reputations in the marketplace. The study concludes that embedding ethics and risk awareness into the innovation process is essential for creating resilient, trustworthy, and sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems.

In recent decades, the increasing prevalence of stress-related disorders and mental health challenges has prompted interest in integrative approaches to well-being. Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness—practices rooted in ancient traditions from India—have gained global recognition for their effectiveness in promoting physical, psychological, and emotional health (Goyal et al., 2014). This paper examines the conceptual foundations, benefits, and modern applications of these practices. Drawing on contemporary research in psychology and neuroscience, it explores how yoga, meditation, and mindfulness contribute to stress reduction, emotional regulation, cognitive enhancement, and overall quality of life (Davidson & McEwen, 2012). The paper also discusses their integration into healthcare, education, and workplace settings, while addressing common misconceptions and barriers to adoption. The findings suggest that these practices offer accessible, cost-effective, and evidence-based strategies for enhancing well-being in modern society.

The objective of this study is to determine annual growth and publication trends and to investigate the literature in the Scopus database on sustainability in education through digital competence. A total of 303 research articles were selected for bibliometric analysis in RStudio. The findings showed that there was a peak in publications in the year 2025, with a decrease in the year 2026, as per 18 April 2026. For the most influential authors' publications, Spain garnered attention in both single- and multiple-country publications. The word cloud showed that the most often used keywords were sustainability, sustainable development, higher education, engineering education, and others, along with the most cited author, Cebrián (2020). The topics that were trending were sustainability, followed by higher education, and the co-occurrence network between sustainability and sustainable development in the related area. This study contributes by identifying research trends, especially for future researchers in developing countries like India.

This study looks at how AI-assisted decision-making affects human judgment. It mainly focuses on people’s awareness of AI, how much they trust it, how much they depend on it, and the ethical concerns they may have. The research is based on primary data collected from 100 respondents through a structured questionnaire, along with information from secondary sources. The findings show that although AI reduces effort and improves analysis, most users still prefer to check or verify the suggestions given by AI. Some common concerns include over-dependence on AI, reduced critical thinking, data privacy issues, and bias in systems.

Startups and MSMEs are very important for local economy because they create jobs and help areas develop, especially growing urban regions like KDMC area. However new business generally faces many problems in the beginning. They work in uncertain conditions and deal with different type of risk such as financial problem, operational issue and government regulations. If they do not have proper risk protection it can affect their stability and long-term growth. This research helps in understanding how financial protection methods especially insurance and risk management practices help startups in KDMC region. This research will use both primary data (like survey) and secondary data like (reports & article). This study aims to measure the level of awareness of insurance product among new startups, identify their challenges and determine how coverage against risk helps business continuity. The findings of study will show why proper risk management is important for startups and how it helps them grow in stable and sustainable way.

In modern education, academic knowledge is frequently emphasized further than moral and ethical development. However, the early times of training are pivotal for shaping children's character and values. Value education helps children learn important qualities similar as honesty, respect, kindness, responsibility, and cooperation. Indian Knowledge Systems( IKS) give a rich source of moral training through ancient text, stories, artistic practices, and philosophical ideas. Concept similar as Ahimsa(non-violence), Seva( selfless service), Satya( Truth), and Dharma( duty) companion individualities toward ethical living. When these principles are introduced in primary education through narration, conditioning, and real- life exemplifications, they help children develop moral mindfulness and responsible attitude. This paper highlights practical exemplifications and classroom strategies that educators can use for primary academy learner .Integrating IKS with modern education can contribute to the development of responsible, compassionate, and socially apprehensive citizens.
