THE ROLE OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) IN DEVELOPING SMART CITIES: A REVIEW

Abstract

GIS organizes the programming, hardware, and data required for a city to collect, organize, analyze, and present any kind of geology-related data. A city can see, analyze, and question data from several angles thanks to GIS innovation. Links, instances, and trends are easily visible in these GIS-based maps, reports, and graphs. In addition to enabling metropolitan regions to be more competent, GIS may play a significant role in empowering government interfaces where individuals can express concerns. Talk about the condition of the city\'s foundation and the corrective actions that the authorities have done. Additionally, participants may examine the city\'s innovative initiatives and provide input on the suggested development projects. This study demonstrates the use of GIS to improve urban community features in order to influence them to become remarkable urban settings.

ARTICLE 370 – A STUDY

Abstract

The Kashmir dispute is obviously not just about the positioning of a line on a map. In the beginning of 1947 it held meanings that went well beyond that and since then it has helped to shape and in turn been shaped by, practically all aspects of the relationship between India and Pakistan. In order to resolve the Kashmir, issue the four alternative suggested are 1) Considering 2) Devolutionist 3) Decentralizing and 4) Autonomy-inclined solutions without doubt have had the strongest support in western studies of ethno- political conflict. The State Constituent Assembly, which completed its work in 1956, did not suggest deletion or modification of Article 370, it therefore, became a part of our Constitution and this position was confirmed by the Supreme Court in 1970. The agreement has not brought about any new situation as regards Article 370. Jammu and Kashmir was the only Indian State that has its own flag. Designed by the government of India, the State flag of Jammu and Kashmir consisted of the native plough on a red background which is a symbol of Labour. The three strips represented the three administrative divisions of the state, namely Jammu, valley of Kashmir and the Ladakh. However, as Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, which was granted Jammu and Kashmir Autonomy, was abrogated in August 2019 by a Presidential order, the flag has lost its official status. The Historic day of August 5 is etched in the hearts and minds of every Indian. The Parliament of India passed the historic decision to abrogate Article 370. Since then, much has been changed in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. The judicial Court verdict came in December 2023 but seeing the wave of development across Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh, the people’s Court have given a resounding thumbs up to Parliament\'s decision of abolishing Article 370 and 35 (A) six years now.

FINANCIAL INNOVATIONS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON INDUSTRIAL GROWTH: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

This study critically analyzes the role of financial innovations—specifically digital banking, blockchain technology, crowdfunding, and fintech solutions—in influencing industrial growth. By combining quantitative survey data from 200 industry professionals and qualitative insights from 15 expert interviews, the research identifies a strong correlation between the adoption of these financial innovations and enhanced industrial performance. Digital banking (85% adoption) and fintech solutions (90% adoption) were found to significantly improve financial accessibility and operational efficiency, contributing to a 78% and 80% increase in industrial growth, respectively. Blockchain technology (45% adoption) and crowdfunding (60% adoption) also positively impacted industries by improving operational processes and facilitating access to capital. The study underscores the critical importance of integrating financial innovations into industry strategies to foster sustained growth and competitive advantage. Future research should focus on the challenges, barriers to adoption, and long-term sustainability of these innovations, especially in emerging economies with limited financial infrastructure.

POLICIES AND SUB-PLANS FOR THE TRIBAL COMMUNITIES WELFARE IN TELANGANA STATE: A RECENT SOCIO-HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ASSESSMENT

Abstract

The development of the Scheduled Tribe community in Telangana has been given top emphasis by the state government since the new state was formed on June 2, 2014. The Scheduled Tribe population makes up 9.34% of the State\'s total population, according to the 2011 census. Compared to the combined State of AP\'s 6.99 STs, this percentage is far greater. The appropriate departments have developed numerous innovative strategies and programs to ensure the full and balanced development of the state\'s tribal population. Converting tribal hamlets into Gram Panchayats has been proposed as a way to enhance the way government social programs are delivered. Numerous cutting-edge initiatives are being proposed, such as Kalyana Lakshmi and the Komaram Bheem monument. In compliance with the provisions of the Scheduled Castes Sub Plan and Tribal Sub Plan Act, which was passed in 2013, the appropriate measures were taken when creating the Annual Plan for 2014–2015 and 2015–16 to guarantee that the required funds have been set aside for the Scheduled Tribes Sub Plan. This tactic was first used by the Indian government in 1975, at the start of its fifth five-year plan.
