The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Shahstra calls this as an emotional act. In situations of
calamities or looking at hard-hit situations we react by
giving our share of charity.
For thiswe need not see the person or we need not knowthe
name or even his greatness. This is “Santarpana” and means
“pleasing all the living beings.” This is like anna santarpana,
free food distribution where weall, generally do charity. For
food, medicine and water all are eligible.
During natural calamities though we do charity, after some
time, when situations turn to normalcy ,we may even feel
sorry for our emotional act of charity also. This is not good
for the individual. We should do charity on our own, with a
joy, and by understanding its importance. Then charity
becomes our life style.
Understand the situation rightly, mark your objectives and
targets, and undertake them with the goal of pleasing the
One (Creator) who resides inside the livingbeings.Knowthe
right place and the time also for doing charity works. Such
thoughtful action brings us satisfaction and happiness. This
inspires others also. Society will be peacefulandprosperous.
“Lokaa samasta sukhino bhavantu” should be the guideline
of all our activities. This is the central theme of our
scriptures and charity is a practical approach in that
direction.
1. Brahma’s advice to all human beings.-Charity is
compulsory
Once Devas, Manavas and Demons went to four headed
Brahma to seek advice on what is ethically best suitable for
them. Brahma thought about what was the best for each
group that had assembled there and counseled them like
this. He pronounced three times the letter “Da”.
Devas understood that they were advised to have control
over their senses. Devas due to their past good deeds have
access to so many pleasures and attractions in their lives.
Having resided in heaven, luxuries are always at their reach.
Enjoying them without any limits may cause diseases and
arrogance too. Since they need to have control over their
senses Dama (control over their senses) was recommended
for them.
Secondly, humans understood that they should do charityas
much as possible. As they don’t have any super natural
powers, they have to struggle hard and gain everything.
Naturally they may develop avariciousness and keep
everything with them. This is greed and not good either for
them or for the society. Their greediness would not allow
them to have a peaceful life now or later. SoDana (Charity)is
essential for humans.
Finally, Daityas understood that they should have
compassion towards living beings.
Demons because of their enormous strength and stubborn
thirst for achievement, they could indulge in atrocious
violence. Because of this they become unpopular and
develop enmity with others .This is not good for society or
for them. SoBrahma suggested them to have compassionfor
all. That way the letter “da” told thrice by Brahma implied
Dama, Dana and Daya .This is said in Brihadaranyaka
upanishad. (05-02-03)
We can interpret that he suggested three Cs. Control,Charity
and Compassion .These three Cs are important. The same
instruction or advice yields different meanings in different
stages of evolution.
When cruelty overpowers the mind, a person becomes a
Demon.
When selfishness is predominant, then oneisconsideredasa
natural human being. When purity and harmony is
established in one’s mind then alone he is called as Divine.
Truth is one. But it is expressed and interpreted differently
in different stages of one’s progress. Therefore a thoughtful
person should never bring a conflict and dispute inthename
of religion and also in the interpretation of scriptures.
This story bringsout the theme that men are basicallyselfish
and only by charity, selfishness can be overcome and they
will become dearer to all.
Thus Dana is an essential process and practice for the
elevation of a man.
Even Taittiriyopanishad instructs us to do charity with
faith,”श्रद्धया दॆयम्”1.Further it instructs the student to give
Guru Dakshina.”आचायााय प्रियं धनमाहृत्यिजातन्तंमाव्यवच्चॆत्सीः”2.
It advices the person to prepare enough food to serve forall.
“अन्नं बहुकत वीत तद्व्रतम्”3.
In the next verse it orders that one should not deny shelter
to the truthseeker. Orders that food,residence andeducation
should be provided free for students.”न कन्चन वसतौ
ित्याचक्षसत”4.Not even a single person be denied of shelter.
So dana is essential and obligatory on the self dependent
person.
Aitareyopanishad confirms that the letter “na” (utteringNO)
to the truth seeker in any way and not providing food,
shelter and knowledge is a cruel act. “यच्च नॆप्रत यच्च अस्ाीः
क्रू रम्”5.
Kathopanishad says “Men cross birth and death only by the
practice of these three”. प्रिकमॆाकृ त् तरप्रत जन्ममृत्यू.6
Those three are: Yajna, Dana and Tapas.
Bhagavadgita orders that“one should nevercookforhimself.
Whoever cooks for hisconsumption alone, is verily, a sinner
and he eats the sin that he has prepared”.
“भतंन्जतॆ तॆ त्वघं पापाीः यॆ पचन्त्यात्मकारणात् “.7
Krishna Further says that Yajna Dana and Thapas are not
optional.
One should necessarily do sacrifice, donationandpenance.It
should never be stopped.
यज्नदान तपीःकमा न त्याज्यं कायामॆव तत् ।8
2. Types of charity
In Bhagavad Gita, Lord Sri Krishna makes three main
distinctions about the act of charity.
3. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD) @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470
@ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD33311 | Volume – 4 | Issue – 6 | September-October 2020 Page 148
Virtuos people present their gifts at an appropriate time,
place and only for the deserving. They do it with humility,
without expecting any credit or returns.
Secondly self -centered people do charity, but always
expecting some benefit in return.
Finally itis demonic type whogive their giftswithcontempt,
without respect and to the undeserving persons at wrong
places and wrong time.9.
Why charity should be done---?
A. Nature of wealth
Wealth has only three outlets.
by giving away as gift (dana )or
by spending for one’s own enjoyment (bhoga) or
by allowing it to get perished by itself.
दानं भॊगॊ नाशस्तिस्रॊ गतयॊ भवस्तन् प्रवत्तस् ।
यॊ न ददाप्रत न भतंक्तॆ तस् तृतसया गप्रतभावप्रत॥10.
Dana—has the following benefits:
Dana has no flaws.
1. All that you have can also be given away.
2. It brings name and fame in the society without fail.
3. Even family members can reap such benefits like social
respect, satisfaction etc
4. Right distribution of wealth.
5. Society is benefited
6. As a law of nature, eachaction hasan equal reactionand
he must be benefited by it, at least in the old age or in
the next birth.
Bhoga or self enjoyment cannot be done fully since, all that
you have, cannot be eaten or enjoyed.
Over enjoyment can cause diseases.
As a consequence, ifhe is troubled, his entire familymayface
crisis. He may be looked down as sickly or self-centered.
So self enjoyment is not a recommended priority. This isjust
the second best.
Perishment: A ripe fruit that is not given, or enjoyed by
eating, naturally perishes and gives a bad smell.
It pollutes the environment and the place where it was
stored.
Wealth not given, but stored, gives a strong belief that it
belongs to him.
It can exalt one’s arrogance, merciless attitudeandotherbad
attributes and slowly his good qualities perish.
It can also get lost by theft or fire or promote vices or royal
displeasure like demonetization of the year 2016 etc.
By knowing the nature of wealth one should do charity.
It is said
“Money comes and goes, but morality comes and grows”.
So charity should be practiced.
B. Do charity ,because you are not the ultimate owner.
This world is meant for those who donate.
Because we are not the real or ultimate owners of any
commodity or properties.
As Ishavasyopanishad has said in the very first line
“ईशावस्प्रमदम् सवाम् “.11
This entire universe is owned by the Creator or God.
We should enjoy everything as allowed or given by God.
Anything shared with others, is a witness that we are
enjoying a thing given by God.
Adopt a trustee bhava and not a thirsty bhava.
”Be a trustee in this world, and not a thirsty” is the
guiding principle of Upanishads.
So, to implement thisawareness, in terms ofaction, we must
do charity.
C. Absence of charity leads to poverty and pitiable
condition. This is the Warning of Scriptures
1. Garuda purana:
In our own life, we have observed, each action giving back
it’s resultant reaction or repercussion. If we do good to any
one naturally as a reaction we receive the same. What we
offer, we receive it in one way or the other, at some point of
time. By remaining uncharitable, one will lose the right to
enjoy any commodity. As a consequence he is born poor in
the next birth.
Being born poor morally or materially, he needs something
for his survival. So he is forced to steal or adopt corrupt
practices or shares with the thief or wrong doer. Thus he
accumulates sin. As a result of this moral weakness and un-
affordability, in the next birth he is also born sickly.
So doctors warn him to avoid taking a long list of things for
enjoyment.
Then also he does not donate. Again & again he will be in the
vicious circle of poverty, disease and misery. - Garuda
Purana.
अदानदॊषाच्च भवॆद्दररद्रीः दाररद्र्यदॊषाच्च करॊप्रत पापम्।
पापाख्यदॊषाच्च भवॆस्तद्धरॊगस पतनदारराद्रीः पतनरॆव पापस॥12,
2. Vishnu Rahasya says that those who have not offered
service, or charity, and remain indulging in wicked
actions, by pride and arrogance, will be born poor and
childless and suffer tragedies.
न यीः कृ तं तपॊदानम् पापं चाप्यप्रधकम् कृ तम्
प्रनधाना प्रनरपत्याश्च नानादतीःखास्तिताीः प्रि तॆ|13
3. Subhashitas speak thus:
By sinfulactivities one reaches the hell. Poverty arisesdueto
non donating lifestyle of the previous birth.So practice
charity.
भवस्तन् नरकाीः पापात् पापं दाररद्र्यसंभवम्।
दाररद़्् य्ं अिदानॆन तस्माद्दानपरॊ भवॆत्॥14.

4. Chanakya upholds charity
These are the words of chanakya, who is also a noted
Economist.
Charity drives away bankruptcy and misfortune. If a person
has ill-gotten money, he conceals it and offers a little out of
that tainted money, for others. Every person should find
happiness with his wife, utilizing his rightly earned money.
Doing strict penance enables him to have enhanced
metabolism, and increased intention to share his wealth.
Just as knowledge eradicates ignorance, courage replaces
fear, right conduct removes bad luck, charity drives out
poverty. So be satisfied withavailable food. wife andwealth.
Satisfaction in money matters, can be demonstrated by a
person only by doing charity.
In the same way one should never be satisfied in the
matters of hard work, charity and studies.
If a person stops giving charity, it means that he has lost
compassion towards fellow beings and concern for society.
Then he prefers more isolated life and becomes arrogant.
The positive thoughts will not remain with him. If one has
satisfaction in studies then he stops reading.
He becomes reserved and he quarrels with every one’s
views. Hence, one should never be satisfied in charity, hard
work and studies.
सन्ॊषीः प्रिषत कताव्यीः स्वदारॆ भॊजनॆ धनॆ।
सन्ॊषीः नव कताव्यॊ ऽध्ययनॆ जपदानयॊीः॥15.
5. How should charity be done?
We should not do charity by pitying at a person or with
pride.
It, should be done giving respect, foregoing ownership, with
joy, with anawareness of the purpose, without regret, to the
deserving persons in the right time and in right place.
दातव्यप्रमप्रत यद्दानं दसयतॆऽनतपकाररणॆ।
दॆशॆ कालॆ च पािॆ च तद्दानं सास्तत्वकम् स्मृतम् ॥16
3. Lessons from charity
A. Live for others
Happiest are those who enjoy doing most for others.
A Dove being chased by a Hawk, approaches the King Shibi
for protection.
The King advised the Hawk, to give up the chase.
Hawk argues that ”it is not fair to snatch food from one’s
mouth to please the other. If you snatch away my food from
me, I shall die out of starvation. Would you not acquire this
sin then?”King Shibi replied “That is not my intention. You
ask for any other food and I shall provide it to you”. The
hawk said “I eat only meat. So you give me your flesh, equal
in weight to that of that Dove”. King did not disappoint the
Hawk.
To the shock of every one present, he offered to gift the flesh
from his body equal to the weight of that Dove and gave it.
This Brings out the principle that we need to live for
others.17.
B. Happiness rests in the act of charity, not in its
returns
Bali, the grandson of Prahlada, performed a sacrifice to get
the position of Indra. Sri Vishnu attended the event during
his incarnation as Lord Vamana and requested Bali to gift
him the space occupied by three steps in His feet. In spite of
protests from his Guru Shukracharya, Bali accepts the
demand, knowing fully well that he is going to lose
everything he has. Even today he is worshipped during
Deepavali festival, because he showed to the world that
giving is the greatest act of grace.
While we practice charity, naturally we become selfless.
Offering service will make us more matured.18.
C. Nothing is insignificant in Dana.
In Ramayana ,when monkeys were building a bridge on the
ocean, a squirrel carried sand from its wet body and poured
a few particles of sand, near the construction site as its
contribution for Sri Rama’s cause. The squirrel explained to
other monkeys who were teasing the tinyact of squirrel,that
“I canot carry mountains or rocks, godgave mea little only a
little strength, I can carry only pebbles, I will do my level
best for lord Sri Rama”. Pleased with the service attitude of
squirrel, Sri Rama swipes his three fingers on its back. The
act of charity, however insignificant or small, when given
with love and devotion becomes praiseworthy. We can
develop and know the value of love, respectandrelationship.
We will evaluate objects not based on its materialistic value
but on the matured mind behind this. This is essential for
human beings as it promotes unity and love.19.
D. Life does not matter when charity matters
Karna was born with a protective shield and ear-ring which
defended him from all adversaries. Indra approaches Karna
in the guise of a Brahmin requsting him to part with his
shield, in order to protect his son Arjuna in the war field of
Kurukshetra. Knowing Indra’s intention in advance, fully
well, without a second thought, Karna just tears and cuts off
the shield attached to his body and donates.20.
We comeacrossa story of King Alarka in Valmiki Ramayana.
The King, a descendent of Lunar Race, happened to see a
blind brahmin. Since he was capable of transferring his
eyesight to any one, he readily offered to give away his
eyesight and helped that Brahmin.21
If we are committed to any specific values then other
hindering factors are immaterial.
This ispossible with a sense of dedication. In ordertoadhere
to the vow of speaking Truth, even King Harishchandra lost
his vast kingdom.
Our values and dedication is proved by charity.
E. Simple life.
Charity means dedicating a part of our income or wealth for
the sake of someone else’s good. It is not easy. To keep up
our promises, we may face many obstacles. First of all we
may have to lead a simple life.
We have to cut our luxurious expenses. So we learn to live
with the least. Secondly we may face protests from friends
and family members. It compels us to convince them and
5. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD) @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470

take them along with us. Even if we fail, our morale will
increase and gain strength. In the long run persons who
disagreed with us may also become our staunch followers.
Whether we fail or succeed in the process, we learn many
lessons which makes us happy and strong.
4. Give away- in any way - Guide lines from scriptures.
A. Upanishad says one should donate with Earnestness or
Sharaddha.” Shraddaya deyam” is the dictum of
Upanishad. Offer charity. Even if, your earnestness is
low, you should offer charity. अश्रद्धया दॆयम्22 .Even if,
you have shame asa hindrance, you should offercharity.
प्रिया दॆयम्23.
Even if, you are in fear, you should offer charity. प्रभया
दॆयम्.24.A few argue that it is a word of savarna deerga
sandhi. This word should be split as Ashraddhaya + adeyam
which means without shraddha one should not give. This is
not a right interpretation.
Why? Observe the next line.
Giving with fear, or giving with shame is also approved.
Giving with ashraddha is also endurable. अश्रद्धया दॆयम्.
Because initially, a child may not be willing to go to school.
But gradually he develops the taste of learning and starts
going with interest and discipline. After basic education is
over, he loves to gain mastery in his field of interestandeven
wishes to fly for foreign lands to gain higher education. This
is the sign of maturity and love for learning. Same spirit is
applicable for a donor also since he will develop a greattaste
for charity at a future date. At first attempt, start initiating
charity, in any situation, and then refine the act and attain
perfection.
Driven by the fear of becoming ill, one practices healthy
exercises and later he continues exercises even after
becoming healthy. Even with fear of hell or of social
obligation, if a son takes care for his disabled parents, our
social structure is somewhat saved. So “BHIYA DEYAM”
Giving with fear is also acceptable. प्रभया दॆयम्.
B. Do not give useless things-Upanishad warns.
Sage Vajashravas performs a great sacrifice. As per protocol,
he gifts the cows to Brahmins in charity. But the cows were
not fit for donation, as they could not drink, eat or sense
anything. His son raises stiff objection for this.
His name isNachiketha, very straightforward by natureand
a seeker of truth. His repeated protests made the father
angry and he cursed the son to die. Then he goes to Yama
Loka (World of departed souls) and meets Yama, the Kingof
Death. Yama gets impressed by his wisdom and burning
desire to gain knowledge of unknown.
Later he grants him several boons and names a fire after his
name.
Nachiketa objecting hisfather’s giving useless thingsasdana
shows hisshraddha. दप्रक्षणासत दसयमानासतश्रद्धाआप्रववॆश,पसतॊदकाीः
जग्धतृणाीः दतग्धदॊिाीः प्रनररस्तियाीः,अनन्दा नाम तॆ लॊकािान्स गच्छप्रत ता
ददत् 25.
C. A donor should try to assess the social implicationof
his donation.
Upanishadsaysbeware before you donate.Ifa person, outof
a passion donates alms to the child, which is on the street,
the child may have improved financial condition for the
moment. If a wicked person happens to see money in child’s
hand and kidnaps that healthy child and causes handicap to
employ the child for begging, then the donor has sponsored
an evil activity in society. So study the background before
you donate.
A beggar may be given ten rupees, but if he purchases cigar
and smokes and develops cancer, the donor also happens to
have a share in making him ill. A cow being donated is good.
But if the receiver sells it to a Slaughter house, and the
butcher kills the cow easily, the donor verily, gets the sin of
having killed the cow.
Samvida deyam-Give with a thorough knowledge of the
transaction of Donation. संप्रवदा दॆयम् .26
D. Follow morals strictly
We come across a moot question that if an unethical or
immoral person does charity, can he get awayfrom his sins?
Some argue that by doing charity, they can have a social
status even if they are immoral.Itamounts to self-deception.
Though, a few acts of charity may be beneficial to society,
cheating others and doing charity is not commendable.
Garuda purana says that charity done by such persons are
useless. Even if someone does charity in favor of anti-social
elements, it will not free them from hells and related severe
punishments.
पाप्रपनां नॊपप्रतष्ठस्तन् दानं श्राद्धं कृ तान्जप्रलीः|
अतीः क्षतद्व्याकत ला यास्तन् प्रपण्डदानभतजॊऽप्रप तॆ॥27
Some persons who have made their life style as to exploit
and trouble the weaker sections of society they neverrepent
for their evil actions. They instruct others also to do such
activities. These anti social elements will surely face severe
punishments, says Garudapurana.
“पापशसला नरा यास्तन् दतीःखॆन यमयातनाम् ।28
E. Amount allotted for Charity should be of right
proportion.
A few people, are havinga tendency to give awaya sumfor a
good causeand feel that their charitywork is over. Shastras,
being a perfect science, have even recommended the
proportion of our income to be spent for charity.
I. Accordingto Vishnu Rahasya: Ten percent oftheincome
One who has ten units of income should allot one unit for
charity.
Persons in abject poverty, can spend just five percentoftheir
income.
But Vishnu rahasya warns that, thisexemptionshouldnotbe
misused by middle- class persons. So a person with normal
status should spend ten percent of his income towards
charity.
एकं दशधनॊ दद्यात् सिस्रधनवान् शतम् ।
दश दद्यात् शतधनीः सवॆाततल्यफलाीः स्मृताीः
पन्च दद्यात् शतधनीः सिस्रधनवान् दश।
पतण्याप्रधक्यं शतधनॆ भवॆत्ति न चान्यथा ॥29
6. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD) @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470
@ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD33311 | Volume – 4 | Issue – 6 | September-October 2020 Page 151
II. According to Bhagavata purana, twenty percent of the
income should be spent for charity. This gives himname
and fame in the society and also a good life. This is the
advice given to King Bali by Shukracharya (A Preceptor
for the wicked or Demons).
As suchwe can say thisis Shukra neeti (Code of ethicsforthe
wicked)
He is an expert in Arthashastra or Economics .So this can be
an all- time model for charity. His formula for wealth
distribution is this:
Divide your income into five parts. Spend one for dharma or
performing prescribed duties in scriptures; spend one for
Yashas or earning name and fame in society; spend one for
Artha or invest to earn money and lead a comfortable life
which includes saving for the old age; one for Kama or
fulfilling your desires related to day to day life and family
life; one for charity.
धमााय यशसॆऽथााय क्षॆमाय स्वजनाय च।
पंचधा प्रवभजन् प्रवत्तं इिामति च मॊदतॆ॥३०.
The global welfare cannot be achieved by mere slogans or
occasional dedications. The percentage of have-nots are
more and have’s is very less. That means less percentage of
persons are enjoying the benefits at the cost of larger group
of needy persons. A higher sense of wealth distribution will
result by lessening the gap between the poor and the rich.
There are occasions when we happen to get income by way
of lottery prizes or unexpected treasure, sellingourancestral
property etc, weare supposed to reserve fifty per centofthis
towards charity. Everyone has an obligation to share with
the society. Scriptures have instructed us to share twenty
percent of our income.31.
Conclusion
Man should bring some contribution, for the society. It is
possible only when we begin an altruistic life style.Our
charityshould be based on concrete guidelines and it should
be on the right direction without giving room to
niggardliness. Dana should be at the right time, to the right
person and in the right proportion.
So scriptures are highly relevant to us. If we follow this, our
goal of “लॊकाीः समिीः सतस्तखनॊ भवन्त ” will definitely be
achieved.
