The "Go Green" concept has become significant in every facet of business in today?s environmentally conscious culture. With all company activities, there is a need to focus on people and the environment rather than just on profits as businesses can no longer operate only for profits. The concern towards environment results a shift toward green economy, and businesses must be environmentally conscious in all aspects of their operations. Green banking is one of the initiatives in this direction. Green banking entails ensuring environmentally friendly practices in the banking sector and, as a result, lowering internal and external carbon footprints. A broader perspective is that green criteria should be used as a lending principle. The banking industry isn?t often thought of as a polluter. However, it has a negative influence on the environment because it increases energy use lighting, air conditioning and paper consumption. The paper reviews the green banking practices among select banks in India & to identify the challenges associated with implementing this eco friendly phenomenon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Passenger drones are currently being developed in some countries to solve the purpose of point-to-point commute. Even though passenger drones have been developed and are developing in some countries, the studies done on designing the interiors have focused on the western audience. Therefore, an in-depth study is required to create cabin interiors for passenger drones, which can suit the country's varied aspects like India. This paper focuses on the user requirements based on a survey of the color, form, and possible future inflight activities conducted for interior design and development for passenger drones. The methodology used was a survey among the potential users. To understand the interaction, color, and form, and map the needs and activities of the passengers in a fully autonomous passenger drone, literature review on proposed activities, future trends of color and form forecast of the transportation industry was studied and used as an input for questionnaire design. An online survey was conducted to gain insights on capturing the futuristic travel experience and activities when inside a fully autonomous cabin. Questions related to the future prediction of automotive trends and possible activities within the cabin were asked. Quantitative data analysis was done after converting the data to a pivot chart. The paper explores and discusses an overview of the future form and color trends and mapping future possible inflight activities in a fully autonomous passenger drone. It also discusses the various possibilities that can be explored to design and develop a passenger drone interior cabin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Public Interest Litigation occupies a prominent space in the Constitutional history of Supreme Court. The aspiration of the court to transform itself from Supreme Court of India to Supreme Court for India and Indians by extending its accessibility, scope and fashioning new remedies for the marginalized and poor has received critical claim and now skepticism. In India, Religion is a contentious issue which when coupled with politics, has been a source of constant discord. The tenuous relationship of state and an individual's religion has been adjudicated by the Supreme Court having a far-reaching effect. The position of Indian Nation State with religion is far more complicated than any other secular democracy in the world. The religious autonomy of an individual and his relationship with his god is categorically recognized by the courts in India. In case of Shayara Bano, a Muslim woman who was divorced through the impugned practice of triple talaq, there was question raised on the justiciability of the remedy being fashioned by the Court in the minority opinion. In the case of Indian Young Lawyers Association & Ors. vs. The State of Kerala & Ors. popularly known as the Sabarimala Case, the Supreme Court, in the name of public interest went on to decide the legality of a centuries old tradition barring women in the menstruating age to enter the temple. Apart from the various issues deliberated by the court, one cardinal issue was pertaining to the locus standi of the petitioner to stand before the court acknowledging the far reaching ramification and implications of the judgment across all places of worship in the country. In the third case of decriminalization of adultery, the petitioner is not an affected person but rather a non-resident Keralite hotelier in Italy.2 The locus of the petitioner has not been discussed by any of the judges or even the name mentioned. The judges straightaway headed into the legality of the provision and declared it unconstitutional unanimously.3 What the court answered was rather an academic question than a legal one.4 This paper aims at analyzing the recent judgments which entered the Court as PIL and adjudication upon the same by secular court. The case analysis also includes an insight on the earlier precedents as to who can approach the court in public interest with respect to the matters pertaining to religion. The first part of the paper is devoted to the origin and evolution of the PIL especially the democratic positioning of the Court in pre and post emergency phase. The second part of the paper is concerned with the cases of PIL for women rights, gender justice and gender equality before Supreme Court till the three cases aforementioned. The third part shall deal with the discontents of the PIL, considering PIL as a structural and institutional innovation. The fourth and last part carries the concluding remarks by the author.

By 2030, six out of ten people will live in urban areas. City dwellers must contend with increased congestion, waste and water management issues, and overcrowded, polluting transportation systems, all of which pose direct negative effects for citizens' physical health and wellbeing (State of Green website). Accommodation of the growing urban population in a sustainable manner is a humongous task in front of every country specially emerging economies like India. Very recently government of India has come out with the proposal of smart cities mission all over the country. This paper is an attempt to look into the concept and definition of 'smart city' and delve whether the 'technology' and 'ecology' would go hand in hand to meet the challenges and opportunities for sustainable urbanization. There is no universally accepted definition of smart cities yet and a smart city may have a different subtext in developing countries like India than any other developed country like United States. Even in India, the definition may vary for different states. The paper through an extensive study of literature around the world and examples of sample smart cities in India has tried to draw some significant insight about the concept. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In India and over the world, Cancer has become a deadly disease that is adversely affecting women from different age groups. According to a survey, one in every 30 women suffers from this deadly disease in their lifetime. This project was first thought of because of the increase in cases of breast cancer and if we can detect it at an early stage then there is an increased chance of it getting cured. This paper lays a foundation in making the detection of cancer automated from histopathological images using deep learning algorithms so that more and more people can get it diagnosed at an early stage and subsequently get cured. To enhance the capability of histopathology image classification, a powerful deep learning algorithm and a sizable, varied dataset are required. In this paper, we have proposed an automatic and precise histopathological image analytical method, to detect breast cancer at an early stage. Deep learning techniques have recently made significant strides and produced outstanding results in the fields of computer vision and image processing, which has encouraged many researchers to use this method for the categorization of histopathology images.
