 Abstract

Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) have become pivotal agents of financial inclusion and socio-economic empowerment in India, particularly within rural and underserved regions. Originating from the Self-Help Group movement in the early 1990s, MFIs have evolved into key facilitators of access to credit, savings, and insurance for marginalized communities. Their expansion has been supported by institutional innovations, regulatory frameworks, and government-backed schemes such as MUDRA and CGTMSE, with over INR4.33 lakh crore in outstanding loan portfolios and more than 30 million active borrowers as of 2024. This study explores the financial sustainability of Indian MFIs defined as their ability to cover operational and financial costs without external subsidies. The paper analyses how MFIs achieve sustainability through diversified funding sources (e.g., equity, debt, securitization), efficient digital operations, robust risk management, and client-centric approaches. Challenges to sustainability include regulatory constraints, operational inefficiencies, financial volatility, and stakeholder resistance. Furthermore, external factors like economic downturns and technological disruption compound these risks. The study also highlights the transformative socio-economic impact of MFIs: enhancing rural household income, promoting women entrepreneurship, reducing reliance on informal credit, and fostering micro-enterprise development. Using empirical data from institutions like SIDBI and RBI, it underscores the importance of financial sustainability in enabling MFIs to maintain long-term service delivery and developmental impact. The research concludes by proposing strategic measures such as capacity building, diversified funding, policy engagement, and technology integration to strengthen financial resilience. By doing so, MFIs can continue to advance inclusive economic growth while staying true to their social mission. This paper contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable microfinance as a cornerstone of rural development and poverty alleviation in India.

 Abstract

Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan, or the Self-Reliant India Campaign, is a vision for a new and empowered India as articulated by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. In support of this initiative, the central government announced a special economic and comprehensive package worth INR20 lakh crore, which is approximately 10% of India's GDP. The core objective of this campaign is to make India and its citizens self-sufficient and resilient in all aspects.To realize this vision, the government has introduced several bold reforms, including agricultural supply chain improvements, a rationalized tax structure, simplified and transparent legal frameworks, development of skilled human resources, and a robust financial system. The Prime Minister's call to be "vocal for local" has provided a significant boost to domestic industries. The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector plays a vital role in driving India's GDP. Characterized by the strong presence of multinational corporations, intense competition between organized and unorganized players, an extensive distribution network, and low operating costs, the FMCG sector holds considerable potential to support the goals of the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. This paper explores how the Atmanirbhar Bharat Mission has acted as a catalyst in strengthening the domestic FMCG ecosystem--driving employment, fostering innovation, and positioning India as a key player in the global consumer goods market.

 Abstract

Autonomous vehicles rely heavily on object detection systems to navigate safely, but their performance significantly degrades under low light conditions. This project explores a novel approach that combines federated learning with advanced image enhancement techniques to improve object detection in such challenging environments. By leveraging decentralized learning across multiple vehicles, the system preserves data privacy while continuously refining detection models with diverse, real-world low-light data [3][11][13]. The proposed framework enhances detection accuracy and robustness without requiring centralized data collection, thereby advancing the safety and reliability of autonomous driving at night or in poorly lit areas. This project explores the integration of Federated Learning for object detection in autonomous vehicles operating under low-light conditions. By leveraging decentralized data from multiple vehicles, the system enhances object detection accuracy without compromising data privacy. The proposed framework adapts advanced deep learning models to handle illumination challenges, improving vehicle perception and safety in night-time or poorly lit environments. The study demonstrates how FL can empower autonomous systems with robust, collaborative learning while preserving data confidentiality across diverse driving scenarios.

 Abstract

This research focuses on the development of a bilayer interlock knitted fabric explicitly designed for sportswear applications using a combination of modal and polyester yarns. Two different structures are used in the study to explore the influence of fabric structure on key performance characteristics, such as moisture management and UV resistance. The bilayer fabric was produced using circular knitting technology and evaluated using standard textile testing protocols. The fabric has been dyed using dark colours which imparted UV protection properties and moisture management properties has also been imparted in the dyeing process, making the fabric suitable for activewear in varying environmental conditions. Further analysis revealed the specific arrangement of yarn within Structure 1 has better moisture management and UV protection properties when compared to structure 2.
