Abstract The Handicraft industry is essential for safeguarding cultural heritage, sustaining rural livelihoods, and promoting economic development. In recent times handicrafts have taken as sustainable products for global environment protection and combine with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study finds out the customer attitudes and satisfaction with eco-friendly handicrafts and their role in enhancing sustainable consumption and production. Primary and secondary data were both examined to know customers’ perceptions of quality, price, design and environmental value. The findings point to satisfactory customer attitudes, significantly influence level of satisfaction and customer behaviour. The increased demand for eco-friendly handicrafts is an opportunity for artisans and policymakers to increase sustainable market growth. This study concludes that awareness, upholding product quality, and using innovative marketing strategies are key factors that can enable the improvement of customer satisfaction and the long-term sustainability of the handicraft sector.

Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the world of work, changing not only job roles but also the skills people need to stay employable and grow in their careers. This study explores how today’s workforce views the importance of technical skills versus soft skills in the age of AI. To gather insights, we surveyed 100 employees from different industries in Coimbatore where AI is already part of their daily work. The results, analyzed using simple percentages and ranking methods in Microsoft Excel, show that while technical abilities like data literacy, programming, and AI tool usage are highly valued, soft skills such as adaptability, communication, and critical thinking remain equally essential for long-term career success. Respondents largely preferred a balanced skill set often described as “T-shaped” combining deep technical expertise with broad human-centered capabilities. At the same time, factors such as high costs, lack of time, and limited training opportunities continue to make upskilling difficult. The study underlines the importance of joint efforts between employers, educators, and policymakers to create affordable and inclusive learning opportunities, helping workers remain adaptable, resilient, and prepared for an AI-driven future.

Abstract Every organization has a story of aspiration, tenacity, and creativity. These little businesses are powerful in their own right because of all of this. The ways in which these Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSMEs) foster their passion, provide employment, and propel growth are astounding. MSMEs and entrepreneurship are crucial drivers of economic growth, contributing significantly to GDP, job creation, and innovation. While the MSME sector faces obstacles like restricted access to capital and markets, a conclusion on the subject emphasizes that improving market access, formalization, and sustainable practices, as well as strengthening policy interventions, are essential to maximizing the sector's potential and guaranteeing long-term economic growth and national competitiveness.

Abstract Adjustment patterns play a significant role in shaping the professional competence of prospective teachers. This study examines how adjustment patterns encompassing academic, social, emotional, and vocational dimensions predict teaching effectiveness, creativity in pedagogy, and social commitment among trainee teachers. Well-adjusted teachers are better equipped to manage classroom stress, employ innovative teaching strategies, and demonstrate empathy and social responsibility, whereas maladjustment can lead to reduced instructional quality, diminished creativity, and limited engagement with students and the community. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating adjustment-focused training, psychological counseling, resilience-building workshops, and mentorship programs into teacher education to promote holistic development. Furthermore, it highlights the need for future empirical research to measure the predictive strength of adjustment patterns on various teaching outcomes, thereby informing strategies to develop effective, creative, and socially responsible educators for the 21st century.

Abstract Cancer remains a significant global health burden, claiming millions of lives annually due to delayed or inaccurate diagnoses. Traditional diagnostic approaches often struggle with consistency and speed, creating an urgent need for automated solutions. In this research, we investigated how deep learning techniques could revolutionize cancer detection across multiple imaging modalities. Our study focused on developing and comparing two distinct approaches: custom-designed Convolutional Neural Networks and transfer learning using the ResNet50 architecture. We assembled datasets representing three critical cancer types: skin lesions from the HAM10000 collection, lung adenocarcinoma histopathological samples, and brain tumour CT scans. Through careful preprocessing and strategic data augmentation, we created robust training environments for both model types. Our experiments show surprising results - while conventional wisdom suggests that sophisticated pre-trained models should outperform simpler architectures, our custom CNN consistently achieved 99% accuracy across all cancer types, significantly outpacing ResNet50's 80% accuracy on skin cancer classification. These findings challenge existing assumptions about the effectiveness of transfer learning in medical imaging and demonstrate that thoughtfully designed, task-specific architectures can deliver exceptional diagnostic performance. The implications extend beyond accuracy metrics, suggesting practical pathways for implementing AI-assisted diagnosis in clinical settings where speed, reliability, and computational efficiency are paramount.

Abstract ABSTRACT The introduction of India’s New Tax Regime (NTR) was intended to simplify taxation, reduce rates, and enhance compliance. However, the behavioral, fiscal, and financial implications of this policy remain underexplored. This paper investigates taxpayer awareness, perceptions, attitudes, and financial behavior under the NTR using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) on survey-based data (n=50, simulated). SEM results reveal that perceived simplicity and fairness significantly influence attitudes, which in turn drive intention to adopt NTR and changes in saving behavior. ANOVA indicates significant differences across age and income groups in awareness and preference for tax regimes. The findings provide insights for policymakers on how behavioral factors influence fiscal outcomes and financial planning in the context of tax reform.

Abstract In an era where healthcare innovation and economic performance intersect, the pharmaceutical industry stands as both a public lifeline and a strategic growth engine. However, despite its growth, the industry shows financial ups and downs that need closer study and future planning. This study focuses on evaluating and forecasting the financial performance of ten major Indian pharmaceutical companies over an 11-year period (2013–2024). Addressing the need for consistent and forward-looking financial insights, it applies ratio analysis and ARIMA forecasting to measure key indicators such as profitability, liquidity, solvency, and efficiency. The methodology uses secondary data from audited financial reports. Statistical tools including ANOVA and Tukey HSD were employed to assess variations, while ARIMA models were used to project Net Profit Margin and Return on Equity up to 2027. Findings reveal Divis Labs as the most stable and high-performing firm across profitability, solvency, and liquidity. Zydus and Alembic also exhibit strong returns and operational efficiency, while Lupin consistently lags across metrics. Most companies showed significant differences in financial performance, except for efficiency ratios, which remained uniform. Based on these insights, companies like Cipla and Sun Pharma are encouraged to improve consistency, while Lupin and Aurobindo require urgent operational restructuring. The study concludes that while some firms are financially resilient and dignified for future growth, others must adopt more robust planning and forecasting mechanisms. This integrated evaluation offers valuable direction to investors and corporate strategists for enhancing financial sustainability in the evolving pharmaceutical landscape.

Abstract This paper examines and portrays the construction and representation of Dalit masculinity in the works of Bama and P. Sivakami, the two eminent Dalit women writers. While much scholarship has focused always only on Dalit women’s oppression and voices of resistance, the role and representation of Dalit men always remains comparatively underexplored and has received less attention in the field of research. Through a close reading of Bama’s Karukku, Sangati, and Vanmam alongside Sivakami’s The Grip of Change and her Author’s Notes, this article interrogates how masculinity emerges under the interlocking pressures of caste, class, and patriarchy. Drawing on Connell’s theory of hegemonic masculinity and Dalit feminist critique, the article argues that Dalit men occupy a contradictory position: they are subjugated by upper-caste patriarchy yet often reproduce and showcase patriarchal oppression within their own communities especially with women. Both writers challenge the romanticization of Dalit masculinity, presenting it instead as fractured, ambivalent, and in need of transformation.
