Abstract: India's rapid adoption of biometric technology has positioned it as a global leader in AI-driven identity recognition systems, with over 1.3 billion citizens enrolled in the Aadhaar database. This research examines the evolving trends and emerging threats in biometric data usage across India's digital ecosystem through secondary data analysis. The study analyzes five comprehensive case studies spanning government identification systems, law enforcement surveillance, banking sector authentication, consumer mobile applications, and healthcare implementations. Key findings reveal a biometric market valued at INR 24,303.6 crores in 2024, growing at 12.18% CAGR, alongside concerning security vulnerabilities including 815 million healthcare records breached in 2023 and a 300% increase in biometric data breaches between 2020-2023. The research identifies critical gaps in privacy frameworks, discriminatory policing practices using 80% accuracy thresholds, and inadequate regulatory oversight of consumer applications. While biometric authentication has enhanced financial inclusion and service delivery efficiency, significant threats include deepfake attacks, algorithmic bias, and mass surveillance capabilities. The study recommends strengthened data protection laws, transparent AI governance frameworks, and enhanced user consent mechanisms to balance technological innovation with fundamental privacy rights.

Abstract: Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have emerged as a powerful force driving credit growth in the Indian banking sector, overtaking traditional retail lending segments. This research investigates the shifting dynamics of credit disbursement between MSMEs and retail loans using secondary data from RBI reports and case insights from Economic Times articles (2025). With improved asset quality and government-backed credit guarantee schemes such as CGFMU and ECLGS, banks are increasingly investing in MSME lending. This paper explores how digital infrastructure (e.g., TReDS platforms), fintech collaborations, and monetary policies have catalyzed MSME credit expansion. Through a case study and trend analysis of credit disbursal data from FY 2022–25, we examine sectoral credit performance, NPA levels, and structural challenges. The study concludes with strategic recommendations to sustain credit quality and unlock further growth in India’s MSME sector.

Abstract: Nitrogen (N) deficiency remains a major constraint on cereal productivity because it reduces chlorophyll formation, canopy photosynthesis, and grain filling, while blanket fertilizer practices often fail to match within-field variability and reduce nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) (Govindasamy et al., 2023). Although destructive sampling and laboratory diagnostics are accurate, they are slow and difficult to scale for timely, spatially targeted decisions in real farms (Fu et al., 2021). This study frames N deficiency detection as a cross-domain transfer learning problem and develops a cross-crop machine learning framework for wheat, maize, and rice using RGB imagery under field conditions. We harmonized and profiled three public datasets (wheat: 1,381 leaf images; maize: 1,200 canopy/plot images; rice: 1,500 leaf images with Leaf Color Chart-based labeling), applied standardized preprocessing, and trained baseline CNN and fine-tuned ResNet models with fixed random seeds and identical train/validation/test splits for reproducibility. Performance was evaluated under three scenarios: within-crop testing, direct cross-crop transfer without retraining, and domain adaptation using unlabeled target data. Four adaptation methods were benchmarked: CORAL, MMD, AdaBN, and Domain-Adversarial Neural Networks (DANN) (Ganin et al., 2016; Gretton et al., 2012; Li et al., 2016; Sun & Saenko, 2016). Baseline cross-crop transfer showed substantial generalization gaps (≈25–35 percentage points), with accuracy ranging from 47.6% to 56.2% across crop pairs, confirming severe domain shift (Fu et al., 2021; Pan & Yang, 2010). Domain adaptation improved average cross-crop accuracy from 51.7% (baseline) to 58.3% (AdaBN), 60.1% (CORAL), 64.6% (MMD), and 73.2% (DANN), with DANN delivering up to ~19% absolute improvement and the most consistent gains under challenging transfers (Ganin et al., 2016). Overall, results indicate that adversarial domain adaptation can substantially reduce cross-crop failure modes and supports more scalable nitrogen monitoring with reduced dependence on crop-specific labels, while practical deployment should include agronomic guardrails and uncertainty-aware decision rules for safe in-season recommendations (Fu et al., 2021).

Abstract: Plastic and diaper waste are major pollution problems worldwide. Approximately 72% of global plastic and diaper wastes end up in landfills, exacerbating environmental degradation, highlighting the urgent need for valorization strategies. This study investigated the potential use of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastics, diaper wastes and sand for the production of pavement blocks, with the goal of developing an environmentally sustainable method for repurposing these waste materials into valuable construction products. Four formulations of the paving blocks were produced and their mechanical and physical properties evaluated through various testing methods. For the four formulations, the plastic (binder) content was maintained at a constant 45% while the diaper (aggregate) content was being varied across formulations, replacing sand at percentages of 0%, 2.5%, 5% and 10% respectively. The results showed that the compressive strength of the blocks remained relatively constant across the first three formulations, with values of 10.23 MPa, 10.25 MPa, and 10.25 MPa, respectively, but dropped significantly in the fourth formulation (5.57 MPa). This indicated that a 10% replacement of sand by diapers in the fourth formulation is not advisable, as their compressive strength falls below the minimum of 8.5 MPa recommended by the SNI 03-0691-1996 standard. Moreover, the results also indicated that both flexural strength and abrasion resistance of the blocks declined as the diaper concentration increased, suggesting an optimal threshold concentration for incorporating waste diapers into the waste blocks. Also, the water absorption rate of the paving blocks increased with increasing diaper concentration with values of 0.34%, 0.34%, 0.92%, and 2.18%, respectively. However, all values were within the <20% limit for high quality blocks (ISS 1077-1970 Standard) suggesting that the blocks can withstand extreme environmental conditions, such as floods. The research demonstrates the potential to co-valorize waste plastics, diapers, and sand for the production of sustainable pavement blocks.

Abstract: – Multimodal sentiment analysis (MSA) integrates data from multiple sources, such as text, audio, and visual cues, to enhance the accuracy and interpretability of sentiment classification models. Traditional sentiment analysis predominantly relies on textual data, which can be limited in capturing non-verbal nuances like tone of voice or facial expressions. This paper explores the synergy between text, speech, and visual data in sentiment analysis tasks, addressing key challenges such as data alignment, feature extraction, and fusion techniques. We compare various fusion strategies, including early, late, and hybrid fusion, using state-of-the-art deep learning architectures such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and transformers. Experimental results demonstrate that multimodal approaches significantly outperform unimodal systems, providing higher accuracy and robustness in sentiment detection. We discuss the potential applications of multimodal sentiment analysis in fields such as social media monitoring, customer sentiment analysis, and healthcare. Finally, the paper outlines future research directions, emphasizing the need for more efficient fusion techniques and the incorporation of emerging models to advance multimodal sentiment analysis further.
