A Review on Plant Metabolites and Ayurvedic Medicine
From ancient times, Ayurveda has its own relevance and is known for its mystical effect. In Hindu mythology, during Satyug when Lord Hanuman went all the way to Himalayas to find a magical herb which had the power to cure any malady known as Sanjeevani booti (Selaginella bryopteris) to save the life of Lakshmana. Ayurveda marks its presence even today and has achieved different level of excellence. As it is said that Sanjeevani glowed in dark, so did the Ayurveda or science of life. It is an ancient system of natural and holistic medicine which broadly utilizes the secondary metabolites released from certain plants. Like in Ashwagandha various secondary metabolites are present like Withaferin A which has anti-cancer properties. It also has great effect on anxiety, diabetes, high cholesterol, arthritis, tumours, tuberculosis and a number of other diseases. Formation of memories can also be improved using Ashwagandha, so it is used to treat Alzheimer’s disease. In this presentation we will discuss the process for obtaining the secondary metabolites from various medicinally important plants. For obtaining these vital secondary metabolites a suitable extraction technique is also mandatory. Extraction is an important step for the isolation of phytochemicals from plant materials. A specific technique and optimization of various parameters can be utilized for the isolation of a peculiar type of secondary metabolites. In this paper we have discussed some of the main ingredients found in some of the most powerful medicinal plants which includes Withaferin A extracted from Withania somnifera, digoxin from Digitalis purpurea and Morphine from Papaver somniferum. We have also discussed some of the most suitable processes which are used for their extraction depending on their properties. Like in Withaferin A, we used solvent extraction and cell suspension culture for its isolation. We have also discussed their role in the treatment of present diseases. A newer approach is also introduced of derivatization of active ingredient which leads to its enhancing effect which can be highly useful to produce or synthesize more effective drugs.

IoT based Healthcare Kiosk
A lot of research has been carried out in the field of healthcare monitoring. In recent years, development of patient monitoring system has emerged as an area of research. In this article, a patient monitoring system is proposed. The proposed system framework integrated web services with multiple sensors controlled by Arduino Uno. We proposed a model which monitors various health parameters like heart rate (BPM), body Temperature, blood pressure (mmHg), height and weight of an individual. The collected data through the system is then transferred over the internet to a smartphone application as well as standalone computers. The doctor can then prescribed the medication based on the data results shown by the system. The designed prototype will reduce the burden on patients to visit the doctor every time for monitoring of these health parameters.

Influent of Overall Architectural Arrangement on Structural Elements Design
In designing a civil structure, difference professionals are involved from the conceptual stages through the constructions up to the final project stages. Because of this, there are different links which exist between different professionals which need to be addressed properly to obtain the best environmentally friend structure with adequate cost as well as strength and durability. In particular, when we look at the cooperation of architects and engineers, we may observe that they have some difficulty in working together harmony. This is due to the complexity of intangibility and tangibility as well as actual and abstract notion of the Architecture. Structural engineers focus more on tangible and actual notion of structures and detail aspects. On the other hand, Architects put great prominence on global and general aspects, such as spatial forms and atmosphere generated. This contradictory ways of thinking sometimes result in difficulty in communication [10]. Moreover, in the design processes, the general arrangement or structural form is chosen for a building at initial stage will normally determine the type of structure which will have to be adapted to support it and will perhaps also dictate the selection of structural material [4]. In fact the structural dimensioning of the previously defined morphological system results in it being a less trustworthy system, leading to a structure that is greatly susceptible to seismic damage This is because of the delinquency of relating the already defined architectural form and that of the structural design [11]. Furthermore, “reference [7]” quoting different architects ideas and stating: "All professionals need to learn the art of Architecture because it concerned altogether - John Ruskin. Le Corbusier said that “Architecture is the accurate, proficient, and the outstanding play of masses brought together in light”. For this reason, Architects and structural engineers need to have a better understanding of the joint works and carry out the activities in close proximity to produce a sound architecture.

Socio Economic Upliftment of Tribal Fishermen through Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP) at Arsha Development Block of Purulia District: An Economic Analysis
The Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP) strategy was evolved for the rapid socio-economic development of tribal people in the 5th Five Year Plan has the objectives of socio-economic development and Protection of STs against exploitation through legal and administrative support for narrowing the gap between their levels of development to that of the general communities. In West Bengal, Purulia District is one of the poorly backward drought prone, topographically severely undulating lands with inadequate irrigation and insufficient of all agricultural inputs. The present status of tribal people is very poor as a consequence they are migrating to neighboring district and state for their source of income. For the socio economic upliftment of tribal people, Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) was formulated and adopted in different districts. Fisheries sector embraces a large population of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. Rehabilitation of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes families through fishery activities has become a major boon for upliftment of their economic status above poverty line.

Detailed Study of Mix Design of Self Compacted Concrete
The self-compacted concrete can be explained as an innovative product in Civil Engineering discipline in India. This product is necessary for civil engineers in order to win difficulty of workmanship. This product was first used in Japan and followed via Europe and United States. Sizeable research becomes achieved with regard to the residences of SCC due to the properly-controlled conditions. Examples of applications are proven, each for prefabricated concrete elements and in- situ structures. On this examine the location has been covered is making the layout mix of self-compacted concrete and it’s overall performance – financial comparisons with winning traditional grade of concrete of m-40 grade.

IoT based Smart Garbage and Waste Collection Bin
Squander administration is turning into a hotly debated issue in strategy urban communities. Municipal governments, which are to a great extent in charge of building and keeping up squander transfer systems, are quick to discover methods for limiting the cost of discarding waste and the sheer measure of waste society produces. Sadly, market and corporatist methodologies don't think about waste administration, rather leaving waste administration to nearby experts, and without government compulsion will as a rule not worry about condition benevolent item configuration, squander minimization or the reuse, re-assembling or reusing of the item toward the finish of its life cycle. We propose a framework which will have fundamental sensor like IR sensor to identify the measure of junk canister filled and discharge flag to the line following bot to gather the effectively isolated fluid and strong waste. The isolated waste will be simpler to dispose. Standard gathering of waste will make the encompassing a cleaner put.
