ICT for service delivery in Rural India –scope, challenges and present scenarioiosrjce
The present era of globalization is based on knowledge and information as it directly affects the
economic, social, cultural and political activities of all the regions of the world. Governments worldwide have
realized the role that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT’s) can play in socio-economic
development and India is no exception to this. Majority of Indian population resides in rural areas and their
isolation has restricted them from contributing to the national mainstream, adversely affecting the country’s
growth. Even after 60 years of independence, rural India has remained poor while the remaining country has
developed by leaps and bounds. Rural India is regarded information-poor and characterized by severe poverty,
illiteracy, lack of health services, lack of employment and overall backwardness. Only the proper
implementation of ICT’s can play a pivotal role in their overall development, especially in the sectors of health,
education and government services. To supplement ICT service delivery, Government of India has the National
IT Policy in place and is also on the verge of launching the massive Digital India programme. But this requires
dauntless will power & confidence, effective monitoring, local services & technology combined with lots of hard
work.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
