Abstract: The exponential growth of online platforms has enabled rapid dissemination of information, but it has also facilitated the widespread propagation of fake news. Fake news has negatively impacted political stability, public health, social harmony, and digital trust. This paper presents a comprehensive study and implementation of machine learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP)-based techniques for detecting fake news. The proposed system uses advanced text preprocessing, TF-IDF feature extraction, and multiple ML algorithms such as Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest, and Naïve Bayes. Experimental results show that SVM achieves the highest accuracy of 94.8%, outperforming other models. This work demonstrates that combining linguistic features and machine learning provides a scalable and reliable approach to combat misinformation. Future enhancements include using transformer-based deep learning models and multilingual datasets

Abstract: The rapid evolution of wireless communication technologies has led to the emergence of sixth-generation (6G) networks, which aim to support ultra-low latency, massive connectivity, and intelligent network automation. One of the critical challenges in 6G is efficient mobility management due to highly dynamic user behavior, ultra-dense networks, and heterogeneous access technologies. Traditional mobility management schemes rely on reactive handover mechanisms that often result in increased latency, packet loss, and signaling overhead. To address these limitations, predictive mobility management has gained significant attention. This paper proposes the use of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, a type of deep learning model well-suited for sequential data, to predict user mobility patterns in 6G networks. By leveraging historical mobility data, the LSTM-based approach enables proactive handover decisions, improved resource allocation, and enhanced Quality of Service (QoS). The paper discusses the architecture, working principle, advantages, and applicability of LSTM-based predictive mobility management in 6G environments, highlighting its potential to enable intelligent and autonomous network operations

Abstract: Sustainable irrigation is a critical component of modern agriculture due to increasing water scarcity, climate variability, and the need for precision resource management. Traditional irrigation systems, often based on fixed schedules or coarse environmental data, frequently lead to over-irrigation, under-irrigation, and inefficient water use. To address these limitations, this work introduces an AI-powered irrigation advisory framework that combines microclimate simulation, machine learning models, and real-time field-level sensing to generate accurate and adaptive water-use recommendations. The proposed system models localized microclimate parameters, including soil moisture, evapotranspiration, humidity flux, and temperature gradients, to provide more accurate short-term water demand estimates than traditional farm-level predictions. Machine learning algorithms continuously optimize the system, forecast crop-specific water needs, and dynamically identify patterns. To ensure robustness across diverse farming scenarios, the framework incorporates adaptive calibration mechanisms that adjust recommendations based on changing crop phenology and environmental conditions. We describe the implementation of this software-driven decision-support tool and its validation using both simulated and real-world agricultural datasets. Results demonstrate improved prediction reliability, a reduction in irrigation waste, and enhanced water-use efficiency compared to conventional scheduling methods. The proposed AI-powered sustainable irrigation advisor illustrates how microclimate-aware systems can advance next-generation smart agriculture, supporting productivity, environmental sustainability, and water conservation.

Abstract: Real-time foot traffic monitoring is now a key part of retail analytics, campus management, and smart surveillance. However, limitations in computing power make it hard to use heavy deep-learning models in low-power settings. This paper introduces a lightweight footfall counting system that uses YOLOv8n and YOLOv8s along with a centroid-based tracking method for effective ID persistence and directional counting. Experimental results indicate that YOLOv8n reaches 4.1 FPS on CPU-only systems with 98–99% ID stability, surpassing YOLOv8s in real-time performance. The system works well for embedded platforms, public monitoring, and budget-sensitive deployments.

Abstract: Neural networks, fuzzy logic, and expert systems are fundamental to the development of intelligent systems capable of addressing complex decision-making challenges across various domains. Neural networks, inspired by the structure of the human brain, demonstrate proficiency in pattern recognition, data classification, and high-accuracy prediction. Fuzzy logic facilitates reasoning under uncertainty, enabling systems to process imprecise inputs and generate responses that resemble human reasoning. Expert systems employ rule-based reasoning to emulate expert decision-making, delivering reliable solutions across healthcare, diagnostics, and industrial automation. This paper examines the underlying principles, strengths, limitations, and applications of these three artificial intelligence techniques. Through comparative analysis, it highlights their performance distinctions and unique contributions to intelligent problem-solving. Additionally, the study investigates the advantages of integrating these methods to create hybrid intelligent systems with improved adaptability, accuracy, and reliability. Such integrated approaches have the potential to advance AI-driven solutions in smart systems, real-time monitoring, and automated decision support.

Abstract: Agriculture in India faces challenges such as unpredictable rainfall, improper irrigation planning, and inefficient use of water resources. To address these issues, this paper proposes a Smart Agriculture System that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) sensors with a lightweight Machine Learning model to optimize irrigation. The system collects real-time soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and light intensity data using low-cost sensors such as the soil moisture sensor and DHT11. The data is sent to a cloud platform through an ESP8266/NodeMCU microcontroller for monitoring. A simple ML model, such as Linear Regression or Decision Tree, predicts the required watering level based on sensor patterns. When moisture falls below the predicted threshold, the system automatically activates a water pump and sends an alert to the farmer’s mobile dashboard. The proposed solution reduces water wastage, increases crop health, and facilitates precision agriculture. This work demonstrates how IoT and ML together can support sustainable agricultural practices, contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG-2 and SDG-12). The prototype is easy to implement, low-cost, and scalable for real-world applications.

Abstract: Women’s safety continues to be a pressing concern globally, and timely access to help often determines the outcome of critical situations. With rapid advances in electronics and communication technology, there is growing potential to build practical tools that can offer support when it is needed most. This work presents a compact, AI-enabled wearable safety device developed specifically to assist women during emergencies. The device operates hands-free and relies on on-device voice recognition, implemented on an ESP32-S3 microcontroller trained using Edge Impulse. It uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to connect with a companion Android application. When the system recognizes the spoken keyword “Help! Help!” it functions entirely offline to activate the mobile app. The app then automatically fetches the user’s GPS location and sends an SOS alert to selected emergency contacts. It also uses the Google Places API to identify nearby police stations for quicker support. To strengthen post-incident reporting, the wearable includes an AI-based motion and image-capture module that records relevant visual evidence through its built-in camera. The prototype is designed to be power-efficient, affordable, and mindful of user privacy, making it suitable for both rural and urban environments. Overall, the proposed system shows how edge AI and IoT connectivity can be combined to create a practical and reliable personal-safety solution.

Abstract: India’s agriculture sector remains the backbone of rural livelihoods and national food security, contributing substantially to economic growth and employment. However, farmers continue to encounter a wide range of structural and socio-economic barriers, including small and fragmented landholdings, heavy reliance on monsoon rains, inadequate technological adoption, post-harvest inefficiencies, financial vulnerabilities, and unstable market prices. Additional constraints such as rising labour expenses, low levels of mechanization, limited irrigation coverage, and insufficient knowledge of sustainable practices further limit agricultural productivity. This review paper explores these complex challenges in detail while assessing the effectiveness of major government programmes designed to address them. Key schemes—such as the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), PM-Kisan income support, Soil Health Card initiative, e-NAM digital marketplace, Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY), Minimum Support Price (MSP) mechanisms, and emerging digital agriculture efforts—are evaluated for their role in improving productivity, farmer income, and risk management. The study identifies notable policy successes as well as areas requiring improvement, emphasizing the need for integrated, technology-oriented, and farmer-focused strategies.

Abstract: The prevalence of mental health conditions in- cluding stress, anxiety, and depression is on the rise worldwide, but stigma, ignorance, and a lack of mental health experts con- tinue to hinder early detection and ongoing emotional support. The Smart Mental Health Assistant, an AI-powered support sys- tem intended to assess user symptoms, forecast potential mental health issues, and offer tailored self-care advice, is the idea behind this project. The system incorporates a chatbot interface for user interaction and advice, Random Forest Classifier for mental health prediction, and Natural Language Processing (NLP) for symptom extraction. In order to effectively diagnose mental health disorders, the system transforms retrieved symptoms into binary vectors using datasets that include symptoms, severity lev- els, and preventative measures. This paper examines the body of research on AI in mental health, pinpoints important variables affecting technology uptake, and emphasizes the significance of scalable and easily accessible mental health resources. The re- sults show that early diagnosis, emotional monitoring, and pre- ventive treatments could all be enhanced by AI-based screening systems. By facilitating ongoing assistance, lowering stigma, and enhancing psychological well-being, the suggested assistant bene- fits the mental health ecosystem.
