 Abstract

Play-based learning is a powerful pedagogical approach that integrates play with meaningful educational experiences, especially in early primary education. It promotes holistic child development by enhancing cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills. This paper explores the theoretical foundations, importance, and strategies of implementing play-based learning in primary classrooms. Drawing on the theories of Piaget, Vygotsky, and Froebel, it emphasizes how play supports imagination, problem-solving, and social interaction. Empirical studies indicate that children engaged in structured play demonstrate higher creativity, motivation, and conceptual understanding. The paper concludes with recommendations for teachers and policymakers to adopt play-based strategies that balance enjoyment with academic learning.

 Abstract

Gulabi Meenakari is a unique type of enamel work that hails from Varanasi, famous for its pink (gulabi) shades, intricate floral motifs, and remarkable craftsmanship. This centuries-old art form thrived under the support of Mughal emperors and symbolizes a blend of Persian and Indian artistic traditions, carrying significant cultural and historical importance. Nonetheless, despite its rich heritage, Gulabi Meenakari is at risk of decline due to modern market challenges, a decrease in artisan interest and financial difficulties. The study examines the origins and development of Gulabi Meenakari, exploring the detailed crafting process and its special cultural significance in Indian traditions. It outlines the main challenges faced by artisans today, including a reduction in demand for traditional crafts, the high prices of raw materials and limited market opportunities. The study also looks into various efforts aimed at preserving this art form, such as interventions from government and NGOs, partnerships with contemporary designers, innovative marketing suggestions and the utilization of digital platforms to expand reach. Despite these endeavors, Gulabi Meenakari still struggles to regain its past prominence. The findings reveal that while increased visibility and market access have offered some financial relief to artisans, maintaining the craft requires ongoing innovation, strategic marketing and financial assistance. The case study concludes with suggestions for focused skill development, financial support and enhanced marketing strategies to ensure that Gulabi Meenakari not only survives but also thrives in the modern age.

 Abstract

Delhi's recurrent winter air pollution crises reflect a complex interaction among chronic local emissions, episodic regional atmospheric dynamics, and unfavorable urban morphology. This study integrates data from source apportionment analyses, atmospheric transport modeling, and urban fluid dynamics to construct a mechanistic framework explaining severe particulate matter (PM) episodes. Persistent local sources, especially fugitive dust from construction and demolition (C&D) activities and vehicular emissions, sustain a high year-round PM baseline. Crop residue burning (CRB) in surrounding states acts as a thermal accelerator, generating temperature-pressure gradients that promote pollutant transport into Delhi. Finally, the city's dense urban fabric and low winter planetary boundary layer (PBL) inhibit vertical dispersion, amplifying pollutant accumulation. The findings emphasize that single-season or single-source interventions are inadequate. Sustainable mitigation requires a year-round, multi-sectoral approach targeting emission reduction, meteorological modulation, and ventilation-focused urban design.

 Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital communication has increased the need for secure data exchange across networks. Traditional file-sharing systems are vulnerable to unauthorized access, data leakage, and cyber-attacks, particularly when files are transmitted without encryption or stored without proper access control. This research presents a Secure File Transfer System utilizing a hybrid encryption approach combining AES-256 and RSA-2048 to ensure confidentiality and integrity during file transmission. AES is used for encrypting data due to its computational efficiency, while RSA encrypts the AES key to enhance security. Additionally, a PIN-based decryption mechanism and role-based access control (RBAC) are implemented to restrict unauthorized file access and ensure operational privacy. The system is built using Python Flask, SQLite, and cryptographic libraries with session validation to prevent backdoor access after logout. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system effectively protects sensitive files during upload, storage, and retrieval, while maintaining fast processing and strong authentication. This hybrid security model offers a scalable and reliable solution suitable for academic, enterprise, and cloud file-sharing environments.

 Abstract

Ayurveda, the ancient system of medicine, provides a holistic approach to disease management by balancing the Doshas and addressing the root cause of illness. V?taja K?sa, a type of Kasa Roga, primarily involves the vitiation of Vata Dosha, often associated with Kapha. It is characterized by dry, spasmodic cough, pain in the chest, hoarseness of voice, and fatigue. The condition is closely correlated with acute bronchitis in modern medicine, which involves inflammation of the bronchial mucosa leading to persistent coughing. This case study highlights the successful management of V?taja K?sa through the administration of Pippali Churna, a classical Ayurvedic formulation described for Kasa Roga. The therapy focused on Vata-Kapha pacification and enhancement of Agni (digestive fire), resulting in marked clinical improvement within 45 days.

 Abstract

This project presents a web-based Wi-Fi packet sniffer and analyser built with Python, Flask, and Scapy. It captures and analyses real-time network traffic over a wireless interface. The system tracks packets sent through the Wi-Fi network and retrieves key details, including source and destination IP addresses, protocol type, packet length, and, when available, hostname information. Unlike traditional command-line or standalone GUI tools like Wireshark, this tool provides a user-friendly dashboard in your browser for viewing and managing network activity as it occurs. Users can start, stop, and filter packet captures directly from the web interface, without needing to use technical commands. The tool finds the active Wi-Fi interface automatically and sorts network traffic into common protocols like TCP, UDP, ICMP, HTTP, and HTTPS, making it easier to read and analyse. It also lets users search and filter by specific IP addresses or protocols, and export data as a CSV file for offline use or reports. By combining packet analysis with an interactive web interface, the project makes network monitoring more accessible, lightweight, and efficient. It is a helpful resource for students, network administrators, and cybersecurity learners to see real-world packet flow, spot unusual activity, and better understand how networks work.

Abstract: This research article explores effective strategies for teaching the profound feministic aspects embedded in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's works within Indian classrooms. Drawing extensively on critical analysis of her novels, particularly The Palace of Illusions, Sister of My Heart, The Vine of Desire, and The Mistress of Spices, this paper highlights key feminist concepts such as ecriture feminine, female bonding, challenges to patriarchal norms, and the envisioning of separatist communities. It proposes a pedagogical framework that encourages students to critically engage with themes of female subjectivity, agency, resistance, and identity formation as portrayed in Divakaruni's narratives. By focusing on her unique articulation of women's experiences, the article aims to provide educators with insights to foster a deeper understanding of gender dynamics and empowerment in the Indian literary and social context.
