AI Voice Agent-Based Virtual Interview Platform

A full-stack AI mock interview platform using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Vapi for real-time voice interactions, and Firebase for backend services and authentication. The project guides developers through setting up the Vapi dashboard for AI agent creation and integrating Google Gemini for dynamic, tailored interview question generation based on user input role, level, and tech stack. Key features implemented include authenticating users, generating personalized interview scenarios, initiating real-time voice conversations with the AI agent, and saving transcripts. Additionally, the tutorial covers designing a professional UI to display past interviews and generating detailed feedback based on the conversation transcript. By the end of this comprehensive guide, learners will possess the practical skills to deploy a portfolio-worthy application that leverages real-time AI voice technology. This is a practical, project-based approach designed to help developers level up their skills with real-world scenarios.

Can SaMD Enhance Diagnostic Consistency and Turnaround Time in Resource-Constrained Public Healthcare Settings without Hardware Modification?

Long diagnostic turnaround times (TAT), equipment obsolescence, infrastructural inadequacies, and a lack of personnel are some of the ongoing issues facing resource-constrained healthcare systems. By integrating into current digital workflows, Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), especially AI-enabled systems, provides a scalable solution without necessitating changes to the underlying medical hardware. This study investigates whether SaMD may significantly increase turnaround time and diagnostic decision consistency in resource-constrained public healthcare settings. The results indicate that SaMD can greatly improve workflow efficiency and lower inter-operator variability. However, the main implementation obstacles continue to be algorithmic drift, regulatory fragmentation, cybersecurity concerns, and reimbursement constraints. The study concludes that SaMD is a workable, scalable solution for bolstering diagnostic systems in resource-poor areas when implemented through organised regulatory, financial, and cloud-based approaches.

Nuclear Households, Persistent Values: Urbanisation and Family Change in Contemporary India

This paper examines how urbanisation, economic change, and shifting cultural expectations have reshaped family life in Indian cities across three dimensions: household composition, gender roles, and intergenerational relationships. A structured literature review brings together canonical sociological frameworks, including those of Parsons, Oakley, and Giddens, alongside India-specific scholarship from Uberoi, Gupta, Shah, Desai, Rao, Chakrabarti, Manchanda, and Bhattacharya. Empirical grounding is provided by census data and a 2026 field study of 100 households in Yelahanka, Bangalore. The central finding is that nuclear residential forms have been widely adopted across urban India since 1991, but the obligations and values associated with joint family living have not collapsed alongside them. Women have entered paid employment in considerably larger numbers, yet domestic and caregiving responsibilities have not been redistributed in any proportionate way. Intergenerational financial transfers remain near universal, though physical distance has created measurable social isolation among elderly people in nuclear households. The paper concludes that urban Indian family change is best understood not as modernisation in the Western sociological sense, but as a process of structural adaptation in which residential forms shift while relational premises remain largely intact.

MARG: Ikigai-Based Career Guidance System

Career selection has become increasingly complex due to evolving industries and diverse opportunities. Many students face difficulty in identifying suitable career paths that align with their abilities and interests. This paper introduces MARG, a career guidance system that utilizes an Ikigai-based approach to evaluate user profiles across multiple dimensions. The system analyzes interests, skills, personality traits, and external factors to generate meaningful career recommendations. It further provides structured guidance through skill development plans and learning resources. The objective is to support informed decision-making while ensuring long-term satisfaction and adaptability. The proposed approach enhances clarity and enables individuals to explore career paths aligned with both personal goals and practical opportunities

The Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility Initiatives on Employees’ Rights

Since the inception of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), which dates back to the 18th century when it was merely seen as charity, it has progressed to becoming a key component of organizational governance. Its legal recognition under section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, in India makes it even more critical in current times. Although historically, CSR referred to welfare initiatives for communities, its importance in the lives of internal stakeholders, especially employees, has increased in recent times. This essay aims to look at the ways CSR affects the rights of employees. Organizations practicing CSR are known to adopt ethical labor practices; improve workplace safety and health conditions, develop wellness programs and create equal opportunities. All these actions lead to creating an atmosphere of positivity, security, and inclusiveness. Moreover, these actions reflect the way the organizations align with national constitutions and international labor standards. Some of the areas in which organizations adopt CSR initiatives could include the provision of equitable remuneration, employee skills development, health insurance, and diversity and inclusion. Adopting such practices would help make employees happy, motivated, and protected. Practicing CSR promotes transparency in organizational dealings, thus enhancing employer-employee relationships. Moreover, a robust CSR culture may foster participative decision-making and ensure that grievance mechanisms exist while promoting dignity at work. On the other hand, surface-level CSR, which is driven by the need to present a good image to the public, is liable to detach the public perception from the reality of workers' rights in companies. The current paper proposes that the integration of CSR in corporate policies will have a direct positive impact on the rights of workers as an integral part of CSR rather than as a result of this activity. This approach will involve paying particular attention to the well-being of employees as a key element of the implementation of CSR. In light of the increasing importance of social justice, equity, and socially responsible activities on the international level, it is crucial to ensure employee rights in the context of corporate social responsibility.

Blockchain Based Document Verification System

Documents serve as the primary mechanism for establishing identity and authorization for individuals and organizations, yet their integrity is constantly threatened by sophisticated forgery. The conventional methods for verifying these documents are fundamentally flawed; they are frequently slow, labor-intensive, and depend on centralized intermediaries, which act as single points of failure that can be compromised or become unavailable. The core challenge is the lack of a universal and reliable source of truth, making third-party validation a cumbersome process built on fragile trust. This paper introduces a decentralized verification system that directly addresses these vulnerabilities by leveraging blockchain technology as its foundational layer. The importance of the blockchain lies in its inherent immutability and decentralization; it creates a tamper-proof and perpetually accessible public notary that does not rely on any single institution. By using a distributed ledger, our system removes the central authority and instead provides a shared, cryptographic source of truth. The platform's workflow is governed by smart contracts, which manage the permissions of authorized Issuers and streamline the process for Verifiers. In our model, the Issuer registers a cryptographic proof of a document onto the blockchain after storing the file in the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). This process creates an immutable link between the document and its certification, allowing any Verifier to instantly confirm its authenticity and integrity without needing to contact the original issuer, thereby establishing a secure, efficient, and transparent ecosystem for digital trust.
