Voting system plays an important role in any democratic country. Vote means to elect the best political pioneer. In India, currently two types of voting systems are depleted, which are secret Ballet paper and Electronic Voting Machines(EVM), but both of them have severalrestrains. The current voting system is jeopardizing, voters visits poolingbooth and stand in long line up to cast their votes, because of which there are possibilities that many people miss their chance of voting. Additionally, social gathering isn't much preferred in this COVID-19 situation. Voters who are ineligible may also use fraudulent methods to cast their ballots, which may result in hardship. Therefore, in this project, we suggest a voting system that is efficient and has three layers of security. The verification of the voter's unique identification number (UID) comes first, then the verification of their election identification number (EID), and finally the verification of their face, which is the highest level of security.

Farmers grind away in the fields to take home just an exiguous income. Now, the agriculture industry is already a burdened industry with uncertainties from all directions. One of the major issues the industry is facing is crop loss. In India, every year around 30-40 per cent crops are lost. This has adverse effects on food security of the highly populated nation. For that matter, India is the 16th hungriest country in the world. Thus, there is a need to identify, understand and overcome agronomic losses. Extreme climate events and crop diseases are the two major reasons for crop losses. While climate events are less controllable, plant disease prevention becomes an important area of interest. Detecting plant diseases at early stages using images serves as key to preclusion of severity. In this paper, we have surveyed some of the significant papers on plant disease detection using image processing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Due to the imposing of the lockdown in India because of Covid-19, the boiler units in industries and power plants get shutdown. It leads to chances of occurrence of downtime corrosion in boilers. Generally, the downtime corrosion is said to be negligible as compare to corrosion that occurred during the working of boilers. However, if the shut down is longer than some weeks then this corrosion cannot be negligible at that level. It results in the loss of life of the material of the boiler and its parts. Thus this paper aims to point out the types of corrosion that can occur and preventive measures needed to be taken for the different types of downtime corrosion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The degradation and alteration of waterbodies globally have been occurring at an alarming rate, surpassing the pace of their restoration efforts. Brari Nambal Lagoon is an important waterbody located in the Kashmir valley of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The lagoon is a shallow, fresh water body that supports a variety of aquatic plants and animals and is a source of water for the surrounding communities. However, the water quality of the lagoon has deteriorated due to anthropogenic activities such as pollution from agricultural runoff, domestic sewage and industrial effluents. The physico-chemical properties of the lagoon provide evidence of the significant changes in water quality that have occurred since the early 1980's. A noticeable decline in dissolved oxygen levels has been observed, indicating a shift in the lagoon's ecosystem. In addition, the concentrations of harmful substances such as phosphates have increased, suggesting anthropogenic activities are contributing to the lake's degradation. This review paper also gives insights about the trophic status of the lagoon by reviewing the different techniques to assess the condition of the lagoon and the need for effective measures to improve and protect the water quality of lagoon to ensure the sustainability of the surrounding communities and ecosystem.

Water is closely linked with all living beings and it is the source of all developments in the form of societal, cultural, rituals and religious beliefs. The river Cauvery is the only perennial river in Tamil Nadu and the water level is raised during rainy season. Out of 133 chapters in Thirrukkural, one of the famous Tamil literature, the second chapter itself deals with the importance of water management and the need for the water cycle. All most all the ancient Tamil literatures have evidenced of various water management practices which were carried out to manage the water throughout the year. Several thousand years ago, the olden civilizations were invented to consume the water flowing through the canals and drainages to the maximum extent. Various dynasty were ruled in India before 1000 years onwards and the emperors handled the water management in a systematic approach and managed the floods and droughts in an effective manner. Various structures like canals, dams and water diversion were built by the emperors for the effective utilization of rain water. This paper deals with the effective water management exercises practiced in more than 1000 old Chozha dynasty in Tamil Nadu. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

When it comes to combating climate change and global warming, the best course of action is to promote the use of renewable energy sources (RESs) and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

After globalization and the emergence of new technology, differentiated services, an innovation revolution, a creative explosion, and numerous alternatives, the working environment is under increasing strain. Education isn't an exception. Each educational institution competes for superb efficiency, enormous performance, and unequalled distinctiveness. The educational sector's administration expects too much from faculty members to stand out from competitors. Education's competitiveness challenges emotional intelligence and work-life balance. The goal of this paper is to look at the connection between work-life balance and emotional intelligence among university teachers at Private University in the Telangana district of Warangal. During the study process, a descriptive type of research design is used. The number of educators in the study was 30. The teachers were chosen through a method called "convenience sampling." The research tool was made by putting together Hayman's WLB scale from 2005 and Daniel Goleman's EI dimensions from 1997 into a structured questionnaire. Statistical tools were used to come up with and test two hypotheses. According to the findings, educators with a medium level of emotional intelligence have an equal number of educators who agree that work interferes with personal life, personal life interferes with work, and work and life are enhanced. The study has been limited to the faculty members of SR University, and it can be extended to other universities in India for further significant insight in understanding the levels of work-life balance and emotional intelligence. Educational policies and improving teaching pedagogies can help to improve the levels of WLB and EI among universities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the most important results of contemporary technological growth is the sharp increase in vehicle numbers, which has gotten more severe in the wake of the astounding rise in the overall population. Thus, the primary issue at hand is the delay in getting there. Sometimes the delay is explained by how long it takes to get to the hospital or receive initial care.I ndia's dire situation is made worse by traffic. A comprehensive solution is required to reduce the time taken at each step, even if the government is taking several initiatives. Some examples of these include evaluating the patient's status, calling for medical assistance, or making the nearest aid available. As a consequence, most countries in the globe today consider traffic congestion to be a serious problem. Using IOT, a system may be developed to enable emergency vehicles, such ambulances, to get at their destination as soon as feasible. The development of a smartphone application that will facilitate communication between traffic controllers and drivers is ongoing. We would provide the ambulance driver the option to choose the source and destination sites. Near traffic lights, digital screens will display the lane that the traffic controller selected. If other drivers can see the alert on the screen, they will be able to remove themselves from the scene or switch lanes before the ambulance comes. Thousands of fatalities may occur from ineffective traffic management if an ambulance won't be able to reach the hospital in time. However, the problem is becoming worse since, in emerging countries like India, annual road expansion is just around 4% while annual car growth is already at 11%. In light of this, the paper provides a novel, straightforward approach to traffic control in emergency situations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Now days the impact of climate change in India are mostly affected to the agriculture field, most of the agricultural crops are being badly affected in terms of their performance of the crop. The crop yield is used to predict in advance because of its harvest, its help the farmers for taking good decisions in marketing. The results of knowing crop yield and building prototype for the purpose of easily available to the farmer. Thus, for such kind of data analysis in the crop, there are different techniques and algorithms to predict the crop in a field. In this we have used image processing algorithm. The data used are images are taken from the drone system. Our approach starts by seeing rows inside the area (or acre) and finding all the trees in a crop yield, by this knowing the size of plant in the crop can be easily to store the data of plants. Lately there has been a wide source of spatial photogrammetry available for agriculture. Most of this data gives new information about the crops. By analysis of crop statics and methods have not been widely performed due to limitations on the images and software involved. The classification was also validated by comparing dozens of trees in the field, with excellent results. The purpose of this paper is to provide farmers with a method for quickly and automatically classifying trees by size, regardless of the presence or absence of problems, so that they can more easily monitor the health of individual trees and gain a better grasp on how those trees are distributed across a given area.

Biomass in its original form with low bulk density causes large transport and storage costs, and therefore, it cannot be used as an effective combustion fuel. Densification of biomass using briquetting technology can resolve the aforementioned issues and enhance the effectiveness of biomass as a combustible fuel. The relevance of using this fuel in thermal conversion processes is growing because it is abundant and under-explored. Hence, examining the fuel characteristics of these resource materials is imperative for their effective utilization in energy generation. The aim of the present work is to assess the suitability of various agricultural and aquatic residues as sources of briquette production by determining their fuel properties. Sixteen types of agricultural and aquatic residues which are abundantly available in Kerala (southwestern coastal state of India) were selected for this investigation. The fuel properties of the selected feedstock materials were determined using proximate analysis, elemental analysis, and heating value testing. The density, moisture content, volatile matter content, ash content percentage, and fixed carbon percentage of the feedstock material were carried out according to different ISO standards. Furthermore, the elemental analysis and the heating value of all the feedstock materials have been determined. Finally, the paper concludes by comprehensively listing all the fuel properties of the feedstock materials investigated in this study. The density of the feedstock materials ranged from 105.92 to 700.10 kg/m3. The fuel properties showed that Water hyacinth leaves, oil palm fruit bunch, saw dust; grass waste, dry leaves, vegetable market waste, and spent tea waste have significant potential for bio-briquette production. Also, from the characterization of the feedstock material, it is evident that rice husk and banana peel have higher ash content (above 20 %). Therefore, they are not appropriate for the production of biomass briquettes. The fuel properties of various agro aquatic residues for briquette production obtained from this study are expected to be of great use to the manufacturers in the briquetting of these feedstock materials.

These detected parameter values by rover are then transmitted to a comprehensive interface, a Mobile application. Mobile application will then give the customized predictions such as soil moisture and temperature based on soil-type. With the help of these parameter values a farmer can take necessary measures to maintain the crop in optimum conditions [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Agriculture is critical to our country's economic success. It yields the most profit in crop production on the farmer's land. India is a developing country, and agriculture is a major component of the Indian economy, accounting for approximately 17% of GDP. India is also the world's second largest producer and the largest exporter of rice. Being the chief grain of India, the country has the largest area under rice cultivation, but the optimal yield would only be guaranteed if the field is free from diseases, whether it be fungal or bacteria, pests and nutritional deficiencies. The presented study will be very beneficial for the researchers to recognize any diseases, pests and nutritional deficiencies of the rice plant. As pest attacks also result in damage to the entire field, causing a reduction in the optimal yield production. Plant nutrients are also required for plants' good overall health. These nutrients are classified into three classes: primary nutrients, micro-nutrients and macronutrients. Each of these nutrients is essential for plant growth and development, but for optimal rice production at least primary nutritional deficiency should be taken care of which includes nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. Agricultural crop losses directly attributed to fungus are significant, but to increase the productivity to the fullest pest attacks as well as primary nutrition deficiencies must also be detected. In this paper, we have conducted a literature study on various approaches and analysis of rice plant diseases, pests and nutritional deficiencies have been shown in tables which highlight the number of diseases focused, numbers of pests focused and number of nutritional deficiencies focused by different researchers.

Globally, pesticide use continues to rise, estimated to be over four million tonnes yearly. In 2020, it was almost 2.7 million metric tons, up 57% from 1990. Nanotechnology is an innovative and exciting technology that offers new nanoscale molecule designs, formulations, and delivery systems to diminish the hazardous pesticide effects. Many studies on nano-pesticide production have been published, whereas nano-biopesticides are still limited. The purpose of this research is to answer the question of whether nano-biopesticide formulations will emerge along the development of nano-pesticides. The research was conducted by using bibliometric analysis. All nano-pesticide and nano-biopesticide-related publications are extracted from the Scopus with no limitations year. Using VOSviewer, data on research scope, authorship contributions, number of citations, and global research trends are evaluated and mapped. The results show that the publishing of nanoparticles has an exponential trend, with 125 nano-pesticide documents. However, only 14 nano-biopesticide documents are available. India is the most productive country, publishing both nano-pesticides and biopesticides articles, 52 and 9 publications. India connects the Australian and European continents regarding nano-pesticide publications. China is next, with 36 articles about nano-pesticides currently published. Al-Whaibi (average of 86 citations) and Iavicoli have extremely high citation counts (average of 125.5 citations). In synthesizing nano-biopesticide formulations, we found that essential oils are the most common ingredient in nano-biopesticides. In future, the topic related to the impact of nano-biopesticides on crop production and resistance; the combination of nano-biopesticides and nano-fertilizers; the study of nano-biopesticides' effects on the environment; and microbial as nano-biopesticides are some trend in the nano-biopesticide formulation. We predict that research on nano-biopesticides will increase rapidly in the context of eco-friendly issues. Finally, this paper can serve as a basis for the upcoming research on nano-biopesticide formulations, particularly those involving microorganisms as bioactive substances. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being employed more frequently for defense and civilian applications these days. Despite the fact that modern technology has many advantages, it also creates new business and industrial challenges. Current laws and regulations cannot be applied to UAV's due to the fact as they are not required to use in existing infrastructure. Even in dire circumstances, UAV's may quickly overcome physical obstacles and pose a threat to society. Hence, the present manuscript focused on creating a Drone Protection System (DPS). In India over the past ten years, the use of drones for both military and civilian purposes have been evaluated. To mitigate the dangers posed by UAVs, counter-drone technologies are also being put together in the interim. This paper examines the aforementionedproblem and provides suggestions to reduce the growing threat posed by drones. Moreover, modern technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), cognitive global positioning system avoidance, and hardware application security must be considered when evaluating the efficiency of anti-drone systems. A prototype for the Anti-Drone UAV system that can capture potentially dangerous UAV's in the air is presented in this paper. The aim of the present work includes the state of the art anti-drone capture mechanism with various existing ways to halt unidentified drones, and also to determine the best method for slicing the target in half. With the first preliminary observation, a simplified Net gun is modeled and affixed with the Anti-Drone Quad copter, and successfully deployed for capturing the UAV's. The obtained results and the present concept may be used to further develop a swarm mechanism for national aerial defense as a future work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Environmental pollution is at present a major global concern. Internal combustion engines toxic emissions are one of the primary air pollutants. To reduce the effects of fossil fuel emissions and address environmental issues, electric vehicles (EVs) are being aggressively promoted around the world. To estimate electric mobility as a good solution, almost 31% of India's population lives in cities. This number is projected to increase to 40% in 2030 and 50% in 2050. Electric-powered trains can help reduce urban air pollution, reduce emissions and improve fuel safety. In this paper, the impact of electric vehicles on grid and battery requirements in India's potential EV adoption scenario is analyzed. The government is motivating people to adopt electric vehicles. Studies suggest that high cost of electric cars, unavailability of charging infrastructure, myths related to electrical vehicles may serve as barriers to customer acceptance. On road EVs by 2030 has been called by Government of India.
