Purpose: The Government of India is promoting digital transformation in agriculture through initiatives such as e-NAM, NeGP-A, the Digital Agriculture Mission, and AgriStack, integrating technologies like AI, IoT, drones, and data analytics to enhance productivity, sustainability, and farmer livelihoods. With nearly 70% of rural households dependent on agriculture, Agriculture 4.0 and the 5C approach aim to strengthen collaboration, improve credit access, reduce costs, address climate change, and support inclusive growth while contributing significantly to India’s economy and UN Sustainable Development Goals. Methodology/Approach: The study typically uses a combination of case studies, policy analysis, and data-driven assessments to explore how AgriStack, a part of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), is applied in agriculture to promote inclusivity and sustainability. The approach might involve evaluating technological implementations and their impact on agricultural practices. The authors presented the DPI on Agristack in agriculture eco system and instrumental for the achieving sustainability. Findings/Results: The research indicates that leveraging digital infrastructure like AgriStack can significantly enhance the productivity of farmers, improve access to information, and drive progress towards achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It demonstrates the potential for technology to bridge gaps in agricultural services and support environmental sustainability. Originality/Value: This paper provides unique insights into the role of digital frameworks in transforming the agricultural sector, particularly in emerging economies like India. 5C approach model and ABCD analysis gives more clarity on the DPI on Agristack. Paper Type: Review based Research Analysis.
The novelty of this work lies in the analysis of dovetail, rectangular, and trapezoidal porous fins under dehumidification conditions using the differential transformation method (DTM), where condensation effects and latent heat release are explicitly incorporated to capture realistic thermal behaviour. In this study, the thermal performance and efficiency of aluminium and copper fins with these profiles are investigated by formulating the governing nonlinear ordinary differential equation incorporating Darcy’s law for porous media. The equation is solved analytically using DTM to obtain accurate solutions for temperature distribution and efficiency variations across different fin geometries and materials. The results reveal that fin with a higher taper ratio exhibit reduced temperature and efficiency due to increased thermal resistance and limited conduction at the base, while higher relative humidity decreases the performance as excess surface moisture suppresses the driving gradient for condensation-induced latent heat release. Among the profiles, the dovetail fin demonstrates good performance owing to its larger effective surface area and improved heat retention, the trapezoidal fin exhibits the lowest performance due to higher thermal resistance, and the rectangular fin displays intermediate characteristics. Copper fin with superior thermal conductivity enhances heat retention and efficiency, while aluminium fin offers advantages in lightweight design and corrosion resistance. These findings highlight the combined role of geometry, material, and dehumidification in governing fin performance and provide practical guidelines for designing efficient heat exchangers and thermal management systems.
In this study, 4-chloro-2-[[(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl]sulfanyl]-1,3-benzoxazole 5(a–f) were synthesized and their spectral data proved to be helpful in characterizing their target moieties. The newly synthesized compounds were assessed by invitro cytotoxic activity by colorimetric MTT assay against MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line at varied concentrations. Invitro antibacterial and antifungal investigation of multiple bacterial and fungal strains found significant MIC values ascribed to target compounds with increased antimicrobial potency. When evaluated against DPPH radicals, the synthesized compounds displayed antioxidant efficacy equivalent to that of ascorbic acid. Compounds identical to the standard demonstrated satisfactory invitro antiheamolytic activity. In conjunction with the invitro cytotoxicity, molecular docking simulations were carried out on PDB: 2A91, a protein receptor. Also, results of docking protocols corroborated the results of invitro studies, confirming their potency. Both 5e and 5f shows high MIC values (14 ± 1.63 and 14 ± 0.81). In spite of this, we detailed the computational analyses of the relevant compounds to emphasise electronic effects, such as HOMO, LUMO, and molecule electrostatic potential (MEP) Among all the synthesized derivatives, 5f shows height toxic effect.
Purpose: To examine the impact of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) of new-age Indian startups on social sustainability in the context of Viksit Bharat. The study focuses on how IPO-listed startups contribute to employment generation, financial inclusion, digital access, and inclusive economic growth, beyond their financial performance. Methodology: For a comprehensive understanding of the importance of IPO on social sustainability achieving sustainable development goals and Vikasit Bharat, secondary method of data collection to gather information from various sources, including books, online articles, websites, and published research papers. IPO prospectuses, annual reports, stock exchange filings, government publications, and reputed financial databases. Results/Analysis: The analysis indicates that new-age startup IPOs have positively influenced social sustainability by generating large-scale employment, promoting digital financial services, and improving access to essential services such as education, healthcare, and payments. The study also identifies challenges such as uneven regional benefits, short-term market pressures, and limited depth in social impact reporting among some IPO-listed startups. Novelty/Value: This study provides a unique perspective by linking startup IPO performance with social sustainability. It contributes to policy and academic discussions by aligning capital market development with the broader national vision of Viksit Bharat.
