Smart Solar EV Charging Station Using IoT
Due to the growing use of electric vehicles, there is a rise in the demand for intelligent charging systems. Conventional wired charging systems rely on physical connection through wires, which results in wear and tear of cables, electricity risks, and inconvenience to the user. In this paper, we will be designing IoT-based smart wireless EV charging with an auto detection and battery monitoring system, which will help us charge the EVs in a smart and automatic manner without any physical connection with the charger, along with the battery monitoring of the vehicle. Our proposed system includes a wireless power transfer arrangement having a transmitter and receiver coil in order to transfer energy without any physical link. The charging will start automatically through the IR sensor when the vehicle is detected in the charging region and will be stopped once the vehicle is taken away from the charging zone. Charging station and vehicle will communicate with each other wirelessly through two ESP32 modules. Charging parameters will be continuously monitored with the help of the current sensor INA219, which will measure the voltage, current, and power consumption of the battery, and their values will be displayed on a 16x2 LCD screen. All the collected data will be sent wirelessly to an IoT-based mobile application for remote monitoring of battery percentage and charging states of the system.

A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of a Structural Teaching Programme on Knowledge Regarding First Aid and Safety Measures Among School Children at Selected Schools of District Mandi HP
Promoting health, wellness, and disease prevention is increasingly vital in today's changing society. This study aimed to enhance the knowledge of school children regarding first aid and safety measures through a structured teaching programme to prepare them for future emergencies. A quasi-experimental research design was utilized, involving a sample of 100 school children selected via convenient sampling from schools in District Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics. The pre-test mean knowledge scores were comparable between the control (9.68) and experimental (9.9) groups. Following the intervention, the control group’s post-test mean score remained statistically stagnant at 9.46, whereas the experimental group’s mean score significantly increased to 25.5. This massive improvement in the experimental group was statistically significant (t-value = 33.92, surpassing the critical table value of 2.021 at p < 0.05). Additionally, post-test knowledge in the experimental group showed significant associations with age, school type, maternal education, and paternal occupation. The structured teaching programme had a highly significant positive impact on improving first aid and safety knowledge among school children.

Socio-economic Determinants of Livelihood Security among Street Vendors: Evidence from Paramathi Velur Taluk
Street vending constitutes a significant segment of the informal economy in India by generating employment opportunities and ensuring access to affordable goods and services for urban and semi-urban populations. Despite their substantial contribution to local economies, street vendors continue to experience livelihood insecurity arising from limited institutional support, inadequate infrastructure, restricted access to formal credit, and weak social protection mechanisms. This study examines the socio-economic determinants of livelihood security among street vendors in Paramathi Velur Taluk of Namakkal District, Tamil Nadu. The study is based on primary data collected from 355 street vendors using a structured questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, business profile, income, expenditure, access to financial services, registration status, and workplace conditions. The findings indicate that women constitute the majority of vendors, reflecting the growing participation of female workers in the informal economy. Most respondents belong to economically productive age groups but possess relatively low levels of formal education. A substantial proportion operate without official registration or vendor identity cards, limiting their access to government welfare schemes and institutional credit. Vegetable vending represents the dominant economic activity, while inadequate infrastructure, market uncertainty, and regulatory constraints continue to affect livelihood outcomes. The study concludes that livelihood security is shaped by a combination of socio-economic characteristics, business conditions, and institutional support. Strengthening vendor registration, expanding financial inclusion, improving market infrastructure, and enhancing awareness of welfare schemes would contribute significantly to sustainable livelihoods among street vendors.

Examination Integrity in India: Analysing the Role of Political Influence, Governance Deficits, and Institutional Weaknesses in Examination Paper Leaks
India has one of the world's oldest and largest education systems, where competitive examinations and board assessments play a crucial role in determining academic and career opportunities. However, examination paper leaks, cheating, and the re-conduct of exams undermine the credibility of the education system, affecting deserving aspirants' time, effort, and morale. This study examines how political influence, governance deficits, corruption, and institutional weaknesses contribute to breaches of examination integrity. METHODOLOGY: This study adopts a descriptive and analytical research design based on both primary and secondary sources of data. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered through Google Forms, with responses from 80 participants. Approximately 62% of respondents were school students, 17–18% were college students from institutions across Delhi NCR, while the remaining participants comprised working professionals from various sectors. Secondary data were collected from government reports, official documents, news articles, policy papers, and published research studies to provide contextual understanding and validate primary findings. RESULT: The findings reveal that most respondents consider examination paper leaks a serious threat to fairness and merit. They identified political influence, corruption, and weak governance as key factors contributing to these incidents. Secondary data further indicate that paper leaks affect millions of candidates, increase public expenditure due to re-conducted examinations, and weaken public trust in the examination system. CONCLUSION: The study concludes that examination paper leaks are not only educational failures but also governance challenges arising from corruption, weak accountability, and institutional shortcomings. Strengthening examination security, transparency, and institutional accountability is essential to safeguard meritocracy, restore public confidence, and protect the integrity of India's education system.

Strengthening Hospital Disaster Preparedness at District General Hospital Matara, Sri Lanka: A Case Study of Preparedness Assessment and Improvement Strategies
Hospital disaster preparedness is essential for ensuring continuity of healthcare services and minimizing the impact of emergencies and disasters. Despite the availability of national disaster preparedness guidelines, hospitals face challenges in maintaining comprehensive and up-to-date preparedness systems. This study evaluated disaster preparedness at District General Hospital Matara, Sri Lanka, identified key operational challenges, and proposed evidence-based strategies to strengthen organizational resilience. A descriptive case study design was employed using methodological triangulation. Data were collected through document review, key informant interviews, direct observations, and assessment using a structured checklist adapted from the World Health Organization Hospital Emergency Response Checklist and national disaster preparedness guidelines. The checklist comprised 43 indicators across 12 preparedness domains. A study-specific Composite Hospital Disaster Preparedness Score (CHDPS) was developed to summarize preparedness across organizational domains. Operational challenges were prioritized using the Nominal Group Technique, and the highest-priority problem was further analysed through root cause analysis to identify underlying organizational factors. The overall CHDPS was 74.4% (64/86). The highest preparedness scores were observed in Recovery and Termination (100%), External Coordination (83.3%), Security and Access Control (83.3%), and Notification and Activation (80.0%). Lower preparedness scores were identified in Staff Mobilization and Welfare (60.0%), Triage and Patient Management (62.5%), and Debriefing and Quality Improvement (66.7%). The principal operational challenge was an outdated Hospital Disaster Preparedness and Response Plan, with root causes related to governance, organizational processes, human resources, and monitoring mechanisms. The study demonstrates that structured preparedness assessment combined with quality improvement methodologies can effectively identify institutional strengths and operational gaps. The proposed CHDPS provides a practical framework for monitoring hospital disaster preparedness and supporting continuous organizational improvement. The findings offer practical guidance for strengthening disaster preparedness and enhancing health system resilience in Sri Lanka and other comparable resource-constrained
