  Abstract: A key component of food security is grain preservation, which guarantees year-round availability and access to food. Millions of people throughout the world rely heavily on grains like rice, wheat, maize, and sorghum as their main source of calories and minerals. To avoid deterioration and minimize loss, grain preservation is a complicated process that calls for meticulous attention to detail and effective management. Techniques for preserving grains include drying, cleaning, sorting, and storage. One of the most popular preservation techniques is drying, which entails bringing the grains' moisture content down to a safe level to avoid microbial development. Proper storage conditions such as temperature, moisture, and ventilation play a crucial role in preserving grains. During many phases of manufacturing, shipping, storage, and consumption, grain is wasted. Globally, up to one-third of all food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted, according to the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO). Economic losses, food poverty, and environmental damage are brought on by the wasting of grains. Consequently, minimizing grain waste is essential to ensuring both sustainable development and food security. Grain wastage may be decreased by enhancing post-harvest handling procedures, putting in place efficient storage methods, and minimizing food losses during distribution and consumption. Implementing effective storage systems involves using appropriate storage containers, such as metal or plastic silos, to prevent moisture and pest damage. In conclusion, preserving grains and reducing the wastage of grains are essential for food security and sustainable development. By implementing appropriate preservation techniques and reducing wastage, we can ensure that food is available and accessible to all. The reduction of grain wastage requires a multi-faceted approach that involves improving post-harvest handling practices, implementing effective storage systems, and reducing food losses in distribution and consumption. By working together to address these issues, we can ensure that grains are preserved and utilized efficiently, reducing food insecurity, and promoting sustainable development.

  Abstract: Startups are important for economic growth and development. Entrepreneurs are also important in the process of structural change or industrialization, which is required for development. There is an increasing understanding of the need for industrial policy (IP) in overcoming a variety of startup failures that hinder innovative entrepreneurship in the creation of jobs and environmentally friendly industrialization. This means an industrial policy that highlights the importance of the connection between government and small businesses (the private sector). Startups can benefit from incubation centers by gaining access to new markets, consumers, and funding possibilities. It can also lead to more competition, which can promote innovation and enhance product and service quality. Startups may also have difficulty in obtaining finance and managing cross-border supply networks. As a result, understanding the role of incubators in the complexities of global commerce and establishing methods to deal with these difficulties is essential for innovators. Aside from that, incubations allow firms to gain access to new markets, consumers, and capital. Startups may strengthen their competitiveness and exploit their capabilities to achieve growth and success by engaging in global trade. Furthermore, to manage the complexity of the global market and thrive in international commerce, entrepreneurs must prioritize the formation of strong connections and networks. As a result, we may conclude that boosting the competitiveness of startup incubators is key to their success as international trade competitors.

  Contact: kalpana.maheshwari@svsu.ac.in

  Abstract: India, known for its strong ancient education system of Gurukuls and renowned Universities such as Nalanda and Takshshila, has traditionally prioritised higher education. These institutions have remained an important part of the country‘s fabric, instilling in pupils‘ specific skills and knowledge that have fashioned them into pillars of society and contributors to the country‘s economic growth. However, according to industry observers, India has a lot of potential but has not been able to tap all of that into some ground-breaking and pioneering products. Many start-ups that could have blossomed into massive corporations died an untimely death. One of the many reasons why the start-up revolution has been delayed in India is the lack of an ecosystem for entrepreneurship culture. Unfortunately, the country‘s schools, colleges, and universities have been unable to give students an environment that fosters and encourages creativity, ideation, and invention. This paper aims to study the need for the development of Start-up culture in schools. While studying the various factors, the authors have tried to develop a framework for the ecosystem required to develop the said culture in schools.

  Abstract: Sustainable development is considered as a 'fluid concept' (IISD, 2010, p. 6) as it has been interpreted in multiple ways. Most interpretations of the term can be classified as either 'technological' or 'ecological' (Orr, 1992). The technological approach emphasizes reducing the adverse impact on the environment through technological advancements and new legal rules and regulations, while following the same socioeconomic growth trajectory. This technological approach is top-down in nature, as it is driven by experts in the fields of science, technology, and law, instead of the local community. The ecological approach, on the other hand, is bottom-up in nature, as it argues for social transformation by incorporating both expert-driven science and technology-based knowledge as well as the efforts of common citizens. The ecological approach thus requires collaborative efforts of both experts and people of the community. Presently, the technological approach is more widely accepted and valued, but there is a dire need to shift our attention to the ecological approach which often goes unrecognized and underappreciated. To promote this, the United Nations dedicated a decade for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), famously called DESD 2005-2014, which required 'the concerns about sustainable development to be inculcated through education' and the efforts continue with the commitment of the nation’s towards 'Global Action Programme' on ESD (UNESCO, 2005). This paper presents one such model of a Green School, empowering young people to take responsible action to reduce, reuse, and recycle waste with the overall long-term goal to be a zero-waste school. The researcher studied manuals, case studies, reports, and guides of fifteen green schools or eco-schools or sustainable schools from around the world, and primary data was collected from the five Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya of Delhi NCR using the tools developed by the researcher. The qualitative data collected from both secondary as well as primary sources were analyzed based on the principles of framework analysis to identify the best strategies for managing waste in schools. Further using the 'Whole School Approach', a thematic framework was prepared, and indexing was done using color coding. Results present a model of a green school, engaging all stakeholders, in every aspect of school life, namely Governance, Teaching and Learning, Community Partnerships & Facilities and Operations, to effectively manage waste in school.

  Abstract: The dynamic world around us has transformed at a fast speed after the pandemic. With the growing dominance of technology, communication, and globalization, the global job markets have seen a major change in the nature and scope of work (jobs/employment). All in all, this means that 21st century skills for students are a passport to a successful career pathway in the upcoming years. The skill development programs also help the youth identify their interests and talents. It helps them develop flexibility, reliability, productivity, and efficiency. All of this goes on to improve their chances of successful careers and widen their career opportunities. One of the new technological advancements in attendance system is the example of skill development. This paper presents an RFID-based automatic attendance system. The attendance system will work by scanning the ID card. The existing conventional attendance system requires students to manually sign the attendance sheet every time they attend a class. As common as it seems, such a system lacks automation, where several problems may arise. Having a system that can automatically capture a student’s attendance by flashing their student card at the RFID reader can really save all the mentioned troubles. The RFID reader, which is a low-frequency reader (125 kHz), is connected to the host computer via a serial to USB converter cable. The Time-Attendance System GUI is developed using Visual Basic.Net. The Attendance Management System provides the functionalities of the overall system such as displaying live ID tags transactions, registering ID, deleting ID, recording attendance, and other minor functions. This interface was installed in the host computer. The main objective of this paper is to record the attendance of students using RFID tags. Each student is provided with his/her authorized tag to swipe over the reader to record their attendance. In classrooms, time is wasted in roll calls as it is done manually. In this proposed system, authorized students are given an RFID tag. This tag contains an integrated in-built circuit that is used for storing, processing information through modulating and demodulating of the radio frequency signal that is being transmitted. Thus, the data stored in this card is referred to as the identification/attendance of the person. Once the student places the card in front of the RFID card reader, it reads the data and verifies it with the data stored in the microcontroller from the 8051 family. If the data matches, then it displays a message on the LCD confirming the entry of that student; else it displays a message denying the attendance. The status of a student’s attendance can be retrieved from this system by pressing the status button interfaced to the microcontroller. Hence, a lot of time is saved as all the students’ attendance is directly stored in the database. The paper can be further enhanced by adding features like sending an SMS of the daily attendance of students to their parents.

  Title: The Challenges and the Lessons Learned from the Experiences of Successful Startups in Business Communication

  Authors: Aparna, Indira Gandhi University, Meerpur

  Contact: aparna.iks@igu.ac.in

  Abstract: Start-ups often encounter unique challenges when formulating their communication approach. Frequently, the identities of the founders, the company, and the products remain relatively unknown. This holds particularly true during the initial phase of establishing a business, which is the focal point of this essay. It is of utmost importance to comprehend the target audiences for communication and tailor the strategies accordingly. The analysis of the different stages of business inception and the notable recipients of start-up communication strategies is followed by the presentation of two actual instances. Ultimately, the derivation of advice for the communication strategy of start-ups is presented. The approach taken by these startups is characterized by a willingness to take risks and pursue high-reward opportunities. This approach, however, often results in a high rate of failure and only a small percentage of startups actually achieve success. Despite these challenges, it is important to recognize that the overall contribution of these startups is crucial to the innovation and advancement of various industries. Hence, it is intriguing to observe that existing literature frequently overlooks the valuable lessons that can be learned from studying the experiences of failed startups. Instead, the emphasis is often placed on successful firms and quantitative studies that aim to identify factors that contribute to their success.

  Abstract: Academic-driven startups play a vital role in shaping the economy of a country and fostering innovation. Such startups are the embodiment of the synergy between academia and entrepreneurship, propelling us towards a future of unprecedented possibilities. In the realm of academic-driven startups, we witness the transformation of knowledge into tangible solutions. Universities cannot remain just as institutions for classroom learning; they are hotbeds of ground-breaking ideas waiting to be unleashed. When these ideas transition from the lecture hall to the open market, they become catalysts for economic growth. Startups bridge the gap between theory and practice, taking research findings and turning them into products and services that address real-world challenges. In doing so, they create jobs, stimulate local economies, and contribute to the overall prosperity of our society. Moreover, the culture of innovation embedded in academic startups is contagious. It fosters an environment where creativity thrives, encouraging a constant pursuit of improvement and advancement. As these startups push the boundaries of what is possible, they inspire others to follow suit, creating a ripple effect that elevates our collective innovative spirit. Let’s not forget the role of academic startups in attracting talent and retaining expertise. They become magnets for bright minds, offering a platform for researchers and students to actively engage in shaping the future. The symbiosis between academia and startups creates a dynamic ecosystem where knowledge is not confined to textbooks but in actively shaping industries and markets. Innovations of SVSU include a brief overview/presentation of our Super 30 Entrepreneurship Development Programme and best practices of SVSU showcasing some of SVSU’s best practices. The transformative potential of exploring incubation support within the university system is discussed. Universities are not just hubs of education; they are breeding grounds for innovation and entrepreneurship. By integrating robust incubation support into the university ecosystem, we will be able to catalyze a paradigm shift in how we nurture and harness the potential of budding entrepreneurs. Universities are treasure troves of talent, brimming with students and faculty members whose ideas have the power to reshape industries and solve real-world problems. However, the journey from ideation to implementation can be challenging. This is where incubation support steps in, providing the necessary scaffolding for these nascent ideas to flourish. Moreover, this approach bridges the gap between academia and industry. It’s a collaborative effort that ensures the knowledge generated within the walls of a university doesn’t stay confined but finds practical applications in the real world. In doing so, we prepare students not just for exams but for the dynamic challenges of the professional landscape. To make this vision a reality, it requires a concerted effort from academic institutions, industry leaders, and policymakers. By fostering an environment where innovation is not only encouraged but also supported, we lay the foundation for a future where our universities are not only centers of learning but hotbeds of entrepreneurial excellence too. Rural livelihood development through universities is a powerful avenue for fostering economic growth and a university skilling ecosystem. In the intricate tapestry of our nations, rural communities often hold the key to untapped potential and sustainable progress. By leveraging the educational resources of our universities, we can channel transformative skills to these often overlooked regions, creating a ripple effect of positive change. Universities, as centers of knowledge and learning, play a pivotal role in shaping the future. It’s time to extend this influence beyond urban boundaries and into the heart of rural areas. Imagine a scenario where universities actively engage with rural communities, offering tailored skill development programs that align with local needs and aspirations. By providing targeted skilling initiatives, universities can empower rural populations with the tools and knowledge necessary for economic self-sufficiency. This doesn’t merely mean equipping individuals with technical skills; it encompasses a holistic approach, incorporating entrepreneurial, agricultural, and community development skills. Skilling initiatives tailored to rural contexts can unlock the potential of local industries, whether it be agriculture, craftsmanship, or sustainable practices. As individuals gain expertise, they not only enhance their personal prospects but also contribute to the overall growth and resilience of their communities. Moreover, this approach aligns with the idea of sustainable development. It’s about cultivating skills that harmonize with the local environment, preserving traditional practices while integrating modern methodologies. The result is not just skill development; it’s the creation of a self-sufficient, empowered rural population capable of steering its own destiny. To make this vision a reality, collaboration between universities, local governments, and community leaders is essential. By pooling resources and expertise, we can establish a framework that ensures the seamless integration of university skilling programs into the fabric of rural life.

But it will be more effective when it will be enforced at the school level as youth is the future of India. The bootstrapping spirit has been missing in our country, partially due to lack of motivating governmental incentives and rest due to our age-old tendency to prioritize jobs over charting the new innovative course. Turbocharging the campaign; Startup culture in its full bloom would generate employment as well as pull the GDP up and when it will be at school level it will nurture their future and they have clear understanding from the beginning. It is important that the Startup spirit is instilled in students adequately to stop their reliance on ready-made employment opportunities. Students should be driven by the urge to utilize their potential for adding newer dimensions to the Startup landscape. Spreading the Startup culture among blossoming youth is essentially concerned with embedding the passion for exploring newer avenues of professional success by optimizing on acquired skills. Students possess the right blend of enthusiasm and knowledge to benefit maximally from the government’s Startup related support from the beginning.

  Title: Provably Secure Identity-based Quantum Signature Scheme with Strong Security

  Authors: Sunil Prajapat, Central University of Himachal Pradesh, Pankaj Kumar, Central University of Himachal Pradesh

  Contact: sunilprajapat645@gmail.com, pkumar240183@gmail.com

  Abstract: The rapid development of quantum computers led to a competitive effort to develop quantum technology in both academic and industrial sectors. Quantum cryptography is a crucial instrument for ensuring secure services in the context of quantum communication. The designated verifier signature, a type of quantum cryptography, is highly advantageous in applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and auctions. This paper proposes a quantum-designated verifier signature (QDVS) system based on identification. The protocol we have developed incorporates security measures such as protection against eavesdropping, prevention of non-repudiation, designated verification, and defence against hidden sources assaults. Furthermore, it is safeguarded against fraudulent assaults, unauthorised resending, and impersonation. The suggested approach leverages the advantages of conventional designated verifier signature schemes. In the proposed scheme, the signer employs their private key to encrypt a message, while the designated verifier verifies the associated QDVS using the signer's public key, which is represented by their name or email address. This approach simplifies the key management of the quantum signature system. The signing and verification process utilises an entangled state, but the verifier does not need to compare quantum states. A comprehensive comparative examination with other similar schemes enhances the level of security for the proposed project. Moreover, the efficacy and practicability of the suggested method are confirmed by quantum simulations.

  Abstract: Metaverse is revolutionizing the future iteration of technology with the potential to ameliorate efficiency and innovation drastically. It fashions engaging spaces for user interaction that simulate the real world by integrating augmented and virtual reality. Metaverse furnishes immersive interactive experiences, unrestricted time and space, visualizations, minimal learning costs, and endorses communication. A metaverse offers various services, such as virtual environments and avatars for telecommuting, education, and gaming. Yet, to access services, users must register with the server, where the registration requires user's identity, password, and personal information. Additionally, the user interaction in metaverse is mediated through avatars over public channels, fabricating opportunities for security attacks such as replay and impersonation attacks. Consequently, we propose a secure mutual authentication scheme for safer user-server and avatar-avatar interactions utilizing Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and fuzzy extractor. The security of protocol is examined with Burrows-Abadi-Needham (BAN) logic, Real-or-Random (ROR) model, and Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols Applications (AVISPA). We also conduct a comparative analysis of the computational and communication costs and the security features of the proposed scheme with pre-existing works. Hence, the suggested protocol offers magnificent security and efficiency, making it suitable for the metaverse environment.

  Authors: Pratyush Mishra

  Contact: 12112232@nitkkr.ac.in

  Abstract: The highly dynamic and ever-changing landscape of our modern economy allows for ingenuity and creativity to act as key leading factors in further development. As such, it may be observed that startups act as the foundational spearheads, driving innovation and economic growth through their endeavors. Among these, those startups in which academic institutions show intimate involvement in and after the venture's creation - commonly known as Academic-driven startups (or ASUs) - stand out, harnessing the vast knowledge of academia to tackle pressing societal challenges and drive technological progress. It is, however, clear to see that the journey to success is filled with obstacles, and a considerable number of pioneers fall short of their full potential. Examining startup stumbles to unveil their causalities and secrets is crucial for nurturing a thriving ecosystem that propels entrepreneurial success. A new set of interesting challenges arise when examining the class of startups that are Academically driven, due to their unique domain of functionality. Analyzing the challenges faced by ASUs may serve in providing a set of insights that are densely correlated to both business as well as intellectual and technological fields. The proposed research paper embarks on an intricate examination of the complex and fascinating realm of ASU failure, unraveling the densely laid challenges faced by the academically propelled endeavors, by drawing on compelling case studies and hard-hitting empirical data. The study allows for the pinpointing of key areas where these ventures along with startups in general often stumble—be it a mismatched market, proprietary issues faced by inventors, or a reluctance to adapt and pivot, to name a few. By critically examining these factors, we not only shed light on the hurdles faced by these startups but also offer invaluable insights and lessons. Further, by showcasing the lessons learned from these setbacks, the research can emphasize the vital role of thorough market research, astute classification and self-awareness, shrewd financial management, and resilient leadership, among other fundamental driving concepts. The paper concludes with a resounding call to action, highlighting the indispensable role of academic institutions in crafting a supportive ecosystem. By providing access to resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities, universities become catalysts, empowering students, and researchers to morph innovative ideas into triumphant ventures that not only contribute to economic growth but also propel societal progress.

  Authors: Sonam Sandhu, Pratibha Sandhu

  Contact: sandhusonam024@gmail.com

  Abstract: Energy security, improved energy access, economic development, and climate change mitigation are the main goals of India’s use of renewable energy. Sustainable development is possible through sustainable energy use and ensuring citizens have access to reliable, sustainable, affordable, and modern energy. Biogas technology is useful technology to produce a sustainable and superior fuel. Solid waste (MSW) is one of the major components of India’s flagship mission 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.' Lifestyle changes, increasing urbanization, and rapid economic growth all contribute to high waste generation in India. People in urban and rural areas use biomass fuel to meet their energy demand. This demand is met by land degradation and deforestation resulting in various health and social problems and excessive emissions of greenhouse gases. Improper collection, unscientific treatment, and low use of technology-based solutions to deal with solid waste led to threats such as environmental degradation, and air, water, and soil pollution. Biogas technology represents a sustainable method of urban and domestic energy production, especially in developing countries. This paper highlights the overview of biogas generation in India and outlines methods used to optimize biogas generation by anaerobic co-digestion.

  Abstract: Supervised learning with quantum computers utilizes parametrized quantum circuits as models that map input data to predictions. This study explores the impact of encoding techniques on the expressive power of these quantum circuits. We show that quantum models can be expressed as partial Fourier series, with accessible frequencies determined by the data encoding gates used. By employing basic encoding gates iteratively, quantum models can access a wider frequency spectrum, making them universal function approximators. This research highlights the ability of quantum models to represent any collection of Fourier coefficients and approximate any function, given a diverse range of frequencies.
