Abstract: The increasing demand for sustainable construction materials and the growing environmental problems associated with waste tyre disposal have encouraged researchers to explore alternative materials in concrete production. This study presents an experimental investigation on the replacement of natural coarse aggregate with scrap rubber tyre particles in cement concrete. The primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing waste rubber as a partial aggregate replacement while maintaining acceptable mechanical performance and promoting eco-friendly construction practices.Concrete mixes were prepared by replacing coarse aggregates with scrap rubber tyre particles at different percentages of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% by weight. The mix design was carried out in accordance with IS 10262 guidelines, and specimens were cast and cured under controlled laboratory conditions. Fresh concrete properties were evaluated using the slump test, while hardened concrete properties were assessed through compressive strength and split tensile strength tests at 7 and 28 days of curing.

Abstract: Transformer rewinding is generally a manual process that depends on skilled operators and predefined winding data, which may result in calculation errors and increased rewinding time. This project presents a bobbin-based automated transformer rewinding system using a microcontroller to improve accuracy and efficiency. The system accepts basic electrical inputs such as input voltage, output voltage, required output current and bobbin dimensions. Based on these inputs, the required number of winding turns is calculated using empirical transformer winding rules and an appropriate copper wire gauge is selected using the current density method. The system also verifies whether the winding can physically fit within the given bobbin dimensions by calculating turns per layer and total winding thickness. An Arduino UNO R4 controls an induction motor through a relay module, while a rotary encoder provides accurate turn counting. The calculated parameters and winding status are displayed on an LCD. This system reduces human dependency, minimizes errors and provides a cost-effective solution for transformer rewinding applications.

Abstract: The fishing industry in Rameshwaram, a coastal town in Tamil Nadu, India, is facing significant challenges, including declining fish stocks, rising operational costs, and regulatory restrictions. This study aims to identify and analyze the existing livelihood options available to the fishermen community in Rameshwaram, with a focus on understanding the socio-economic implications of these options. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions with fishermen and other stakeholders. The study found that fishermen in Rameshwaram have diversified their livelihood options beyond traditional fishing, including fish processing and marketing, tourism-related activities, and alternative livelihoods such as agriculture and small-scale industries. However, these options are often characterized by low incomes, limited job security, and inadequate social protection. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions to promote sustainable livelihoods for fishermen in Rameshwaram, including vocational training, credit facilities, and social protection programs. The findings of this study have important implications for policymakers, development practitioners, and researchers working on livelihood promotion and poverty reduction initiatives in coastal communities.

Abstract: Efficient waste collection plays a crucial role in maintaining clean urban environments while reducing operational costs. Traditional garbage collection systems follow fixed schedules, which often lead to unnecessary trips to halfempty bins or delayed pickups of overflowing bins. This project proposes a Smart Waste Monitoring and Collection System that uses ultrasonic sensors to continuously measure the fill level of garbage bins and transmit the data to a cloud platform. The collected data is visualized on a webbased dashboard that enables administrators to monitor the status of each bin in real time and assign optimized routes to garbage collection vehicles. The system includes an intelligent route optimization module that prioritizes bins requiring urgent attention, reducing fuel consumption and travel time. A key enhancement in this project is the integration of a predictive overflow feature. By analyzing historical filllevel patterns, the system forecasts when a bin is likely to reach its capacity. This prediction enables proactive scheduling of collection before overflow occurs, which improves cleanliness and resource utilization. The proposed solution enhances overall waste management efficiency through datadriven decision making. The system is scalable, costeffective, and suitable for implementation in smart city initiatives.

Abstract: One of the significant resources used in agriculture is water whose availability is extremely low. Most people use traditional irrigation techniques, which are manual, and these techniques tend to cause wastage of water. The current paper has introduced a smart irrigation system, which is founded on soil moisture detection to enhance water management. The type of system employed in the specified project in this paper is based on a soil moisture sensor and an ultrasonic sensor that are linked to an Arduino UNO microcontroller. It constantly measures soil conditions and regulates automatically a water pump with a relay module. When the soil gets dry the pump is switched ON and when the moisture potential is achieved accordingly the pump is switched OFF. The system also offers real time updates to the farmers via the mobile notification and also show the information on an LCD screen. The solution saves water, less human labour, and enhances crop output. It is also affordable, simple to operate and can be applied in small and medium-scale farmers hence is an effective solution to current day farming.

Abstract: This research report provides an exhaustive analysis ofi the intersection between digital governance and financial transparency within the municipal administrations ofi the BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Afirica. Utilizing a robust comparative firamework, the study evaluates how digital platforms, legal mandates, and institutional capacity influence the disclosure ofi fiscal infiormation to the public. The findings demonstrate a complex landscape: while national-level digital maturity is high across the bloc (evidenced by Group A and B rankings in the World Bank’s GovTech Maturity Index 2025), the actual translation into municipal transparency is hindered by over-centralization in Brazil, restricted access in Russia, localized “refiorm islands” in India, selective disclosure in China, and severe capacity constraints in South Afirica. Through an examination ofi the Open Budget Survey 2023 data, the report identifies that while transparency has increased globally by 24% since 2008, significant gaps remain in public participation and legislative oversight. Recommendations fiocus on decentralizing digital implementation, institutionalizing public engagement modules, and bridging the skill gap at the local level to ensure that technological advancements yield tangible improvements in fiscal accountability.
