Abstract: Chiang Mai is the largest and the most culturally significant city in Northern Thailand.  It was a capital of Lanna Kingdom dating back in 1200s.  The city has a long history and continues to be culturally prosperous while retaining evidence of the past as a cultural and religious center.  Therefore, the city has been applied for a tentative list of a World Heritage City.  To be included in the World Heritage List, the old city should be well conserved.  Since 1988, Chiang Mai municipality has announced the municipality control aimed to advocate the conservation development of the city.  One of the imposed tools is Kalare, a cross attached over the pediment of vernacular Lanna houses.  It is presupposed that Kalare is an important component of Lanna architecture which can represent Lanna style, and thus should be placed on the buildings to signify Lanna, consequently enhancing the conservation development.  However, there are many arguments about the Kalare implication which led to the revision of the municipality control in 2014.  The color control has been proposed.  Chiang Mai Municipality is collaborating with private and governmental agencies to initiate a pilot project to repaint buildings around the center of the old city, using prospect colors which are white, cream-white, off-white, and brown.  It is assumed that the conformity of colors will strengthen the conservation development in the historic area.  However, the residents would not perceive those colors as their names.  According to a case study of Kyoto that applies color control in the conservation area, Munsell color system was chosen as the color pattern for the local act. Therefore, this article is aimed to examine the repaints using Munsell color system by a DIC application. The results reveal the color group of Munsell color system: Yellow, Red, Yellow-Red, Purple-Blue, Blue, and Neutral. It is suggested that Munsell color should be announced to control the color instead of the name of colors.

Keywords: world heritage, conservation, Chiang Mai, Munsell.

Abstract: The Doklam crisis was not a mere regional conflict between India and China. Internationally, it demonstrated the tensions and fault lines and indicated the emerging patterns of state behaviours. This paper analyses several issues which were flagged by this crisis. Firstly, how Doklam brought the questions about the identity of China to the forefront – the contrast between its record of unyieldingly and aggressively pursuing its territorial and economic interests and what it projects as its image –  the ‘peaceful rise of China’. Secondly, the issue became a prestige issue for India and had implications for its claim as being a regional superpower and an aspiring global superpower. And lastly, the international response to Doklam showed the working of power configurations in the present day multipolar world: it carried the reverberations of the threat that Chinese economic expansion has caused to South East Asia or to the economic dominance of the US or Japan. However, the temporary settlement of the crisis also showed that though the economic rivalry between India and China might result in muscle flexing, yet both the neighbours are unwilling to sacrifice the idea of BRICS as the flagship of a multi-polar world order.

Keywords: Polarity, superpower, trade, BRICS, conflict.

Abstract: Haze brings inconvenience to numerous PC vision & PC designs applications. Single picture murkiness expulsion is a difficult issue. So as to tackle this issue a straightforward yet ground-breaking strategy to expel fog from single picture is proposed. It utilizes a shading lessening earlier model for cloudiness evacuation. A straight model is made for demonstrating profundity for scene & utilizing profundity map we can undoubtedly evaluate transmission guide & standpoint brilliance, along these lines successfully expelling cloudiness from single picture. In dehazed picture some classified information like time at which photographs are taken & temperature for spot from where photographs are taken can be influenced covered up & this mystery message to can be recuperated at whatever point important. We propose a novel shading picture dehazing strategy dependent on melding a noticeable & a close infrared (NIR) pictures for a similar scene. In open air scenes, picture differentiation for caught pictures is probably going to be lost by murkiness. Close infrared light is less dispersed than noticeable light as a result for its long wavelength; accordingly NIR pictures have complexity enough. Our methodology reestablishes picture differentiate by melding point for interest parts for NIR picture into noticeable picture. To avert overemphasizing fog free districts by NIR data, we present weighting NIR picture utilizing transmission map. Exploratory outcomes demonstrate that our technique beats traditional strategies.

Keywords: Dehazing, defog, depth information, image restoration, outlook radiance.

Abstract: As compared to Western Countries where there is a burden of an ageing population, India has a unique window of opportunity called ‘demographic dividend' because India has a higher proportion of the working-age population of 20-25 years. India's abundance of human capital is attracting the global economy towards it and is one of the reasons for the growth of FDI. Rightly, therefore, our government has a commendable aim of making more in India which means improving the efficiency of Indian products irrespective of agriculture and allied products, mining, manufacturing or services. ‘Make in India' campaign launched on September 25, 2014, got boosted with later announcements like, ‘Skill India' mission, and ‘Digital India' programme. Notwithstanding some advantages, the manufacturing base of the Indian economy is very low as its contribution to GDP is 15.1 per cent. There will be a need for a workforce of 3.3 billion by 2020, increasingly in the services and capital-intensive manufacturing sectors. The phenomena is also expected to play out in India – by 2020, 90 per cent of India's GDP and 75 per cent of employment is expected to be contributed by the services and manufacturing sectors plans to create more than 100 million skilled jobs in manufacturing and also increase the share of GDP to 25 per cent by 2022. But to achieve these people need better knowledge, appropriate skills and best practices which are valued in labour markets. Education is essential to increase the productivity of human capital. For some, ‘Make in India' is a new chapter in education. Value-based and value-oriented education help realise the goals of entrepreneurship and empowerment, without sacrificing ethical standards. Many reforms in the education sector are on the anvil. The primary purpose of this paper is to bring out the importance of the educational content and strategies required for ‘Make in India', the challenges before it and also various measures to achieve success. We think that "Make in India" should not become an export-oriented strategy instead we need to create an environment that makes our firms able to compete with the rest of the world and also encourage the foreign producers to utilise of our human capital and thereby create employment opportunities. The quality /assurance of education should be based on accessibility, affordability, universality and measurability of both inputs and outcomes. The ultimate goal has to be to make people have national competence and global relevance, meaning convergence of transformational education and transnational education, and balancing of academics with advocacy and praxis.

Abstract: This year of 2018, the world is celebrating the twentieth year of marvelous success of stem cell discovery. The history of stem cell research was not as easy as it seems to be but had to undergo a long challenge both in experiments and from external world because of its direct involvement with Life experiments. It had undergone strict ethical scrutiny and many moral dilemmas in order to get into the present status. Now the challenge has increased since it is going for real clinical trials in the coming years. This article intends to find out philosophical history of stem cell research over a period of these twenty years.

Abstract: This paper examines Wole Soyinka’s acclaimed play A Dance of the Forests from an ecological perspective. Ecocritics study how cultures construct and are in turn constructed by culture. The relationship between man and nature has been an abiding interest of writers and readers alike. Texts are evaluated on the basis of the contribution they make to the environmental debate and the responses they offer to environmental crises. African literature is often found to be deeply committed to combating oppression. African writers take up the laborious tasks of decolonising the psyches of their compatriots and healing the evils perpetuated by colonialism. The concepts of Deep ecology theorised by Arne Naess are employed to delve into the intricate message formulated by the playwright.

Keywords: Ecocriticism, African literature, deep ecology, Arne Naess.

Abstract: The Government of India (GOI), the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development have been putting concerted attempt to achieve financial inclusion as one of the essential national objective of the country, in fact many concerted efforts already made for last few decades like, bank nationalization, improving the branch network of all banks, introduction of priority sector lending, launching of Self Help Group Bank Linkage Programme, introducing PMJDY scheme, the main objectives of all these efforts is to bring financial excluded people into the mainstream of the society. In fact our twelfth five year plan approach is “Faster, Sustainable and More Inclusive Growth”,

Self-Help Group Bank Linkage Program (SHG-BLP) seems to have hit a plateau in terms of new group linkage which grew by about 8.5 per cent. The credit growth seems better with an increase of 20 per cent over the previous year. The number of groups linked at the end of March 2010 stood at 4.58 million and the amount of loans outstanding 272.66 billion. As in the case of last year, this data is provisional land likely to undergo revision. The growth rates have abated and credit disbursal is around the levels reached last year. New groups formed have not been linked to banks at the vigorous rates achieved in the last decade. There seems to be credit linkage fatigue setting in among the banks. On the other hand, the MFIs posted higher growth rates than self-help groups (SHGs) but client acquisition rates had declined to 19 per cent compared to a high of 60 per cent last year. This is despite some MFIs having doubled their client numbers. Two hundred and sixty MFIs reported 4 a total clientele of 26.7 million, which is an increase of 4.1 million over the previous. However, Microfinance is a provision of thrift, credit and other financial services and products of very small amount to the poor in rural, semi-urban or urban areas for enabling them to raise their income levels and improve living standards, main objectives of this research is to understand the Socio Economic conditions of SHG-BLP beneficiaries and to know the impact of Microfinance on financial inclusion by after and before joining into SHG-BLP.

Abstract: Majority of the people in India lives in rural parts of the country. Hence, development of rural India is a key to the economic growth of the country. Financial inclusion has become one of the most significant aspects in the context of inclusive growth and development. Financial inclusion is the process of ensuring access to appropriate financial products and services at an affordable cost in a fair and transparent manner by mainstream institutional players needed by weaker sections and low-income groups. Banking sector plays considerable role in bringing financially excluded people in to formal financial sector. This will help to serve dual purpose i.e. financial inclusion as well as growth of the banking business of the country. Financial inclusion trend was kicked off in the year 1969 when 14 commercial banks were nationalized since then it is being focused by GOI but Since 2005, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Government of India (GOI) have been making efforts to increase financial inclusion. Many Measures have been implemented by RBI and GoI such as SHG-bank linkage program (1992), easing of Know Your Customer (KYC) norms, electronic benefit transfer, use of mobile technology, bank branches and ATMs, opening and encouraging ‘no-frill-accounts’, opening customer service centres, credit counselling centres, Kisan Credit Card (1998), Swabhimaan (2011) and Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana (PMJDY). This article is an effort to study financial inclusion along with the growth of the banking sector in India. Information has been gathered from the Department of Financial services, Ministry of Finance, Govt. of India. The main objectives of this paper is to know the current status of financial inclusion in India and to know the growth of banking sector in India
