https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/314
<p><em>The statement "Vedas are apaurusheya" makes it clear that these scriptures are beyond any worldly creation. However, the reality is that these texts encompass all the knowledge needed to lead a life in the world. Simultaneously, these scriptures also elucidate the path to attain that ultimate state which liberates one from the worldly cycle. Nevertheless, Vedas have often been perceived as emphasizing predominantly ritualistic worship and prescribing actions with desires. Consequently, the real knowledge present in them has been consistently overlooked. In contrast, Yoga philosophy has been accepted by people as a path to liberation, even though it is commonly used by many in society for physical and mental well-being. Therefore, it becomes imperative to understand the facts by comparing the concept of selfless deeds (Nishkamta) in Yoga and Vedic literature, which talk about liberation. Hence, this article aims to present a comparative analysis of the notions of selfless deeds in Yoga and Vedic literature.</em></p>Shivam TripathiNehal Dave

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/308
<p><em>We empirically investigated the presence of long memory in financial return series data of selected equity oriented mutual funds in India. The Hurst exponent, a non parametric test was used as the measurement of performance persistence to show presence of long memory. We used Net Asset Value (NAV) of 33 equity oriented growth based Indian mutual funds from different categories which showed a diversified picture of the mutual fund industry in India for the period 2003-2019. We empirically found that the degree of performance persistence is positive in case of selected funds and a few funds showed randomness or Brownian motion. The result suggested that the performance persistence exists in Indian mutual funds, applying the Rescaled Range method of Hurst exponent analysis. </em></p>Debendra ShawP Samanta

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/341
<p><em>Stock exchanges are the epicenter of any capitalistic and free market model economy and the variety of indices maintained by them serve as the barometer. NSE, the largest stock exchange in India maintains and publishes prices changes data for 87 stock indices constituted based on different themes, strategy, and sectors including the benchmark NIFTY-50. The main objective of this study is to understand relationship for returns of 1 month, 3 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years and 1-year volatility inter se. The study interestingly reveals that there is impact of quarterly returns of the indices on annual returns. On the contrary it is unaffected by monthly returns. On the volatility front short term returns were seen affected by annual volatility while long term returns did not with exception of 5 year figures.</em></p>Deepak AminHemal Pandya

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/357
<p>Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an effective way of raising revenue for the Government, but it also faces the problem of GST Input Tax Credit (ITC) fraud. Input tax credit is a crucial component of the indirect tax system, but it can be misused by fraudsters to evade taxes and cause a huge loss of government tax revenue. This paper studies the GST fraud modus operandi based on newspapers articles. It reveals that fraudsters have devised a unique scheme of fake billing and input tax credit fraud, involving the creation of shell companies. GST fraud poses a challenge for the GST department in India, as fraudsters exploit the loopholes in the GST system. To curb GST fraud and minimize its impact, it is important to understand the GST fraud modus operandi and its types. This paper presents two modus operandi that illustrate how GST frauds are committed by fraudsters.</p>Himanshu ThakkarVedanshi JoshiRishita Bhatt

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/366
<p>Our environment is getting polluted day by day, from the past few years. There has been significant amount of air, soil, water & noise pollution in recent decades. Ozone layer is getting depleted, that affects environment and all living organisms. Plastic pollution plays major role in getting soil polluted, that leads to less nutrient efficiency in vegetation grown in that particular soil. Plastic takes approximately 20 to 500 years to degrade. Cutleries made from plastic such as straws, spoons, forks, cups, plates & containers takes years to decompose and harm soil, environment, water as well as living organisms. We can use cutleries made from metals like copper, silver, steel etc. But if we consider our fast food eating habits, eating out at in the streets or junk food takeouts and something that complements our modern lifestyle, we can definitely use biodegradable cutleries. There are many plant-based options and alternative to traditional plastic cutlery. There are many parts and religions in India that focuses on eating in <em>Musa paradisiaca</em> plants’ leaves (mainly in southern region of India) and in ancient times our ancestors used to make plates from <em>Butea monosperma</em> dried leaves. Plants & materials used for creating plant-based cutleries are discussed vividly in this paper. Many researchers and scientists have worked toward contemplating this global issue, that is mentioned in this paper as well.</p>Rucha BhavsarAanal MaitreyaNainesh Modi

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/387
<p><em>The concept of "Open Educational Resources (OER)" is gaining eminence in the field of education on a global scale. The exponential growth of technology in the contemporary era has resulted in an unprecedented need for instant accessibility of information and services. Consequently, to investigate the effects of open educational resources on students in higher education institutions, a survey was conducted by the authors. The findings from the survey indicate that there exists a relatively low to moderate level of awareness regarding Open Educational Resources (OER) among students enrolled in higher education institutions in India. Besides, it was observed that the utilisation of OERs in higher education has a positive influence, suggesting the necessity to enhance awareness among students. By doing so, students can effectively utilise these resources to improve their academic performance.</em></p>Kamleshkumar PatelYogesh Parekh

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/304
<p style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">The Internet, digital tools, and other information and communications technology (ICTs) are supporting diplomatic efforts more and more. Diplomats use the Internet for information retrieval, email correspondence with colleagues, electronic draft text negotiation, and a growing number of new social networking sites like Facebook and blogs. In times of crisis, leaders are using hash tags to spread data and analysis and to promote government activities. Without a doubt, digital technology has influenced how the modern world operates, even to the point where it has given rise to a brand-new type of diplomacy called "digital diplomacy." This essay investigates how conventional diplomatic methods have evolved into a new era defined by digital diplomacy and assesses how this has affected international relations. It explores the various ways that digital instruments, such as online forums, virtual summits, and social media platforms, have shaped international relations. The present study delves into the notion of digital diplomacy, emphasising the application of digital media in the diplomatic sphere and the manner in which nations, particularly India, are employing these instruments to advance their foreign policies. The study examines the challenges and opportunities posed by digital diplomacy, considering issues of cybersecurity, information warfare, and the democratization of diplomacy through increased public engagement. Moreover, it investigates the implications of this digital shift on the effectiveness, transparency, and inclusivity of foreign policy frameworks. By analyzing case studies and scholarly works, this paper aims to provide insights into the intricate interplay between technology, diplomacy, and foreign policy in an era dominated by digital connectivity.</span></em></p>Shanta Barman

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/356
<p><em>Mangroves are essential for the environment and serve as a barrier. They are only found in the intertidal areas of rivers and estuaries, acting as nurseries for fish and other marine life with great ecological and monetary values. It also recycles nutrients and preserves the hydrological cycle and coast protection from storm surges. Although being a plant that can withstand high levels of salt, mangroves require a steady supply of fresh water to exist. Mangroves have been rapidly disappearing from the past many years, which have had detrimental effects on the ecosystem, climate, and society by reducing benefits including carbon sinking, coastal protection, and seafood production. Mangrove forest restoration is feasible and has already been attempted in a number of locations, but these initiatives have largely failed due to their fragmented nature. The current paper describes the results of a new initiative to identify and map the locations where mangroves can be restored, as well as to estimate the potential benefits from such restoration with reference to India.</em></p> <p><em>The present research is carried out with the following objectives:</em></p> <ul> <li><em> Mangrove loss and threats, as well as actions made to restore them. </em></li> <li><em> Evaluation of Gujarat and Indian mangroves. </em></li> <li><em> Stressing the need of rules and regulations for the rehabilitation of mangroves. </em></li> <li><em> Repercussions for management and policy recommendations. </em></li> </ul>Mamta chaudharyS Rathor

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/324
<p><em>Nyaya Panchayat is the most neglected aspect of the Panchayati Raj implementation in India. 73<sup>rd</sup> Amendment doesn’t even have a passing reference to this ages-long indigenous dispute resolution forum. In the formal Indian legal system, due to British-style methods, procedures and practices of court, getting justice becomes an expensive, long-term and cumbersome process. It is only the institution of Nyaya Panchayat that can provide quick and cheap justice to the poor villagers at the doorstep and can create a situation where the geographical and mental distance between the institutions of justice and the villagers is reduced. A formal court of law far away from the village also leaves room for false evidence. It is only natural that the members sitting in the local Nyaya Panchayat who are familiar with the local customs, systems, customs, attitudes, values, and details, can compare the evidence realistically and fairly. Nyaya Panchayats as an institution has the potential to reshape our legal culture by making it more ‘people-oriented’.</em></p>Sachin Warwantkar

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/339
<p><em>India is a popular destination for medical tourism due to its skilled medical professionals and affordable healthcare (Ministry of Tourism, 2024). The Indian government is promoting medical tourism through initiatives such as providing quality care, certification, training, and market expansion support (Ministry of Tourism, 2024). The medical tourism sector's growth can enhance earnings, create jobs, stimulate investment in travel-related businesses, and stimulate growth in other industries, including healthcare - IT (Shah, 2022) (Madhur, 2023). India is a popular destination for medical tourism due to its skilled medical professionals and affordable healthcare, according to a report by ClinicSpots (Sharma, 2021). India ranked seventh among the top 20 wellness tourism markets in 2022, with over 560 lac medical value tourism visits, generating 16.3 billion USD (Patro, 2023). The present study delves into the complex effects of the medical tourism sector on the Indian economy. Specifically, the research aims to determine the most popular medical tourism treatments in India, evaluate the significance and effect of medical tourism on the Indian economy, investigate the measures implemented by the Ministry of Tourism to promote medical travel to India, and ascertain the prospects for medical tourism in India. The study employed a descriptive research design method, and secondary data was utilized to gather data. This study provides a corpus of knowledge by offering a succinct analysis of the effects of medical tourism on the Indian economy. Policymakers, medical professionals, and researchers who want to gain insight into the changing medical tourism landscape in India will find it to be an invaluable resource.</em></p>Rinkesh Mahida

2024-06-302024-06-303113013910.47413/vidya.v3i1.339THE CHALLENGES OF WOMEN EMPOWERMENT IN ETHIOPIA: SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/378
<p><em>This research aimed to provide a thorough overview of the systematic literature review about the challenges to women's empowerment in Ethiopia. The primary goal of this comprehensive overview of the literature article was providing an outline of the state of this field's research and knowledge while also addressing the difficulties associated with women's empowerment, particularly in Ethiopia. The investigator reviewed articles that were published from 2007 to 2024. The researcher carried out six tasks in order to direct the review. The researcher kept nine of the twelve publications that were carefully examined. The contribution of earlier studies on the difficulties in empowering women has looked at the specific regions in the title. Crucial research findings cannot be disregarded in the absence of a thorough understanding of the systematic review of earlier studies. Gaining insight into the planning and execution of studies on the difficulties in empowerment of women would facilitate understanding conditions on the field as it stands today. The results of this thorough evaluation of the literature point to a bright future for the consequences of the difficulties associated with women's empowerment. This extensive review of literature is expected to shed light on issues in relation with women empowerment and provide solutions. The results of this study will be used to resolve the concerns related to women's empowerment.</em></p>Getachew MihretJagdish Joshi

https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/411
<p><em>Seasonality and seasonal variations are common phenomena associated with the stock markets and the Indian stock market is no exception to them. An interesting anomaly in seasonality is the day-of-the-week effect, which this paper tries to unravel. Many researchers have investigated the effects of seasonal fluctuations such as month-of-the-year, day-of-the-month, and day-of-the-week. Historical evidence suggests that these anomalies are prevalent in the market and if properly studied investors can take advantage of the market and try to beat the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH). This paper attempts to understand the day-of-the-week effect in the Indian stock market.</em></p>Noel DaliwalaJay Desai

2024-06-302024-06-303116917110.47413/vidya.v3i1.448ESSENTIAL YOGA PRACTICES FOR FOOTBALL PLAYERS TO ENHANCE SPORTS PERFORMANCE
https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/451
<p><em>Football demands high levels of muscle strength, aerobic capacity, and anaerobic power to meet the sport's physical and physiological challenges. Yoga has been shown to enhance flexibility, stability, endurance, and cognitive function, benefiting both physical performance and mental well-being. Despite this, there is a notable absence of studies specifically focused on sport-specific yoga practices for football players. The study aims to identify essential yoga practices for football players based on input from subject matter experts. A total of 76 yoga practices were identified through a review of classical texts and supported by research evidence. To establish the validity of these practices, a panel of 30 subject matter experts (SMEs) was consulted. The data were analysed using Lawshe’s Content Validity Ratio (CVR) to assess content validity. Among the 76 integrated yoga practices subjected to validation, 38 practices achieved a CVR score of ≥0.33, signifying high content validity, while the remaining 38 practices had a CVR score of <0.33, indicating low content validity. The 38 practices with a CVR score of ≥0.33 were deemed essential for football players. The study highlights the potential of yoga to improve overall athletic performance and reduce injury risk, emphasizing the need for incorporating sport-specific yoga programs.</em></p>Tresha RathodKritika RathodVishwa BhattVidhi Patel
