    Equal inclusion of Indigenous Women in Biodiversity Conservation Efforts in India: A Critique
    (Book Rivers, 2023) Nidhi Singh Arora
    Even though there is a gap between the rights guaranteed by the law and how they are exercised for all women. For indigenous women the gap is even wider due to the numerous forms of discrimination based on their gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic situation, as well as from within their own communities and from outside rural and urban areas. The loss of traditional occupations, coupled with climate change and the resulting deforestation makes it more difficult for indigenous women to exercise their rights. Therefore, it is crucial to make sure that indigenous women are included, recognized legally, and actively involved in land ownership and governance at all levels. In general, the term "biodiversity" refers to the diversity of life on Earth. Indigenous Peoples are acknowledged as being crucial to achieving the goals of the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Numerous threats to our biodiversity are coming from a variety of sources. However, environmental deterioration significantly impacts girls' and women's health and quality of life. For a policy on the conservation of natural resources to be successful, women must be included in all programs and policies. The study focuses on how indigenous women can help safeguard the environment.

    Agro-Nanotechnology: A Way Towards Sustainable Agriculture
    (Bentham Science, 2024) Aquib Khan, Faria Fatima
    Addressing the global population's dietary needs is crucial amid crop damage issues like insect infestations and adverse weather affecting one-third of conventionally farmed crops. Nanotechnology, recognized for its efficacy and environmental benefits, has gained attention in the past decade. While it has transformed medicine, its applications in agriculture are underexplored. Current research investigates the use of nanomaterials in agriculture for targeted delivery of genes, insecticides, fertilizers, and growth regulators. Nanotechnology shows promise in mitigating abiotic stress in plants by mimicking antioxidative enzymes. This chapter assesses nanoparticles' roles in plant research, highlighting their effectiveness as growth regulators, nanopesticides, nanofertilizers, antimicrobial agents, and targeted transporters. Understanding plant-nanomaterial interactions opens new avenues for enhancing agricultural practices, improving disease resistance, and crop productivity, and optimizing fertilizer use.

Whereas, data suggest that the acceptance rate of innovation and technology in banking is extremely low. In India, as stated by an RBI, banks have initiated Mobile Banking tasks and there are 22 million active portable financial clients, which is generally 5% of the absolute bank accounts. Moreover, technical issues, confidentiality, as well as lack of awareness are considered the significant reason for client resistance to portable (mobile) banking. Thus, it is important for specialized businesses to understand the situation as well as fulfil the needs of clients in order to adopt and utile mobile banking services.
