“Significance of ‘Ahiphena’ (Papaver) in ‘Rasaaushodhi’ – a review”
Abstract
ABSTRACT: -
Ayurvedic medicine is traditional medicine native to Indian subcontinent. The Concept of using Visha (poison) therapeutically is mentioned in Ayurveda. But it is used in pure form only after its Shodhan as mentioned in Agadtantra. Ras-shastra is one of the branch of Ayurveda which deals with pharmaceutics especially minerals, metals, precious stones, poisons, herbs and their processing. In Rasatarangini, there are mentioned Visha as well as Upavisha .Out of that Ahiphena is one of the most important poisonous drug used for Anasthesia during surgery from ancient time in medicinal formulations. Ahiphena botanically known as a Papaver sominiferum and commonly referred to as opium poppy, holds significant importance in rasoushadhi (herbo-miniral formulation in Ayurveda). It is classified as an Upavisha (a mildly poisonous substance) and has potent pharmacological properties including analgesics, sedatives, narcotics and anti-inflammatory effects that’s are crucial in Rasoushadhi preparations[1][2][3][5].

UPCOMING TRENDS IN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY SPECIAL REFERENCE TO GENERIC MEDICINE IN INDIA
Abstract
A generic medicine is a copy of the original branded product. Once the patent for the original product has run out, the pharmaceutical company who developed the medicine no longer has the exclusive right to produce and distribute the medicine. Other pharmaceutical companies are able to create their own version of the medicine. The type and quantity of the active ingredient in the generic product is the same as the branded version, but the inactive ingredients are slightly different. The generic medicine is sold under a different brand name and it may look different (e.g. in colour or shape) to the original.

Marriage – The Social Institution: Evolution from Sacrament to Taming Women’s Freedom in the Indian Subcontinent
Abstract
Marriage in the Indian subcontinent has historically been celebrated as a sacred sacrament and simultaneously deployed as a mechanism of social control. While early Vedic traditions emphasized marriage as a saṁskāra—a religious duty necessary for maintaining lineage and cosmic order—later texts and practices transformed it into a patriarchal institution that curtailed women’s autonomy. In the beginning, the essence behind marriage had been freedom of choice by the women and its sacred sanctity remained intact until the practice of freedom of choice had been mandatory by the woman concerned. Later on, the freedom of choice had been truncated and imposition of choice became the essence and the very same reason with other factors became the root cause of the fallen of this institution. The arrival of Islam reframed marriage as a civil contract (nikāh), theoretically granting women certain rights, but medieval society, both Hindu and Muslim, entrenched patriarchal controls over women’s sexuality and mobility. Colonial codification reinforced rather than dismantled patriarchal traditions, while reformers sought to reconfigure marriage as a site of gender justice. Post-independence legislation introduced divorce, secular alternatives, and legal reforms, yet social practices such as dowry, marital rape exemption, and honor killings reveal the persistence of patriarchal control. This paper traces the historical trajectory of marriage from sacrament to contract and critically examines how it has functioned to tame women’s freedom in the Indian subcontinent

Beyond Growth: Charting India’s Sustainable Future with Community-led Circular Economies
Abstract
The study provides a descriptive analysis of the pivotal role that cooperatives can play in facilitating the growth of a circular economy in India. As one of the world's fastest-growing major economies, India faces the dual challenge of sustaining its economic momentum while addressing significant environmental pressures from a linear 'take-make-dispose' model of production and consumption. The transition to a circular economy, which emphasizes resource efficiency, waste reduction, and value retention, is not just an environmental imperative but also a social and economic opportunity. This paper argues that cooperatives, with their unique democratic governance, member-centric structure, and community-focused principles, are exceptionally well-suited to drive this transition. By their very nature, cooperatives promote local ownership and collective action, which are foundational to circular practices such as shared resource management, community-based recycling, and the creation of local loops for materials and products. We explore several examples across India's diverse sectors, including dairy, handicrafts, and waste management, where cooperative models have already demonstrated success in fostering sustainable practices. For instance, dairy cooperatives are increasingly integrating waste-to-wealth models, while artisan cooperatives are revitalizing traditional, low-impact production methods and promoting product longevity. Furthermore, the abstract highlights how cooperatives can bridge the gap between formal and informal economies, particularly in the waste management sector, by empowering informal waste pickers and integrating them into a formal, value-driven system. The study posits that a supportive policy environment, coupled with increased financial and technical assistance, can unlock the full potential of cooperatives to create inclusive and resilient circular economies across urban and rural landscapes in India. The research concludes by proposing that embedding cooperative principles into national circular economy strategies is not merely an option but a strategic necessity for building a sustainable, equitable, and prosperous future for India.

Strategizing on Disability Inclusion- HR Perspective
Abstract
In this VUCA world, talented employees are imperative for organisational success. Today, most organizations in India and abroad are embracing and weaving in diversity in their workforce for building and sustaining an inclusive culture. Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) form a vast pool of manpower resource which can become productive and be contributing members of society, with suitable training and support from the employer. Capitalising on the untapped talent pool that the PwDs form will not only contribute towards societal development but will also make business sense by providing productive manpower resources which can be refined with suitable HR policies and practices.

Harnessing the Power of Zinc Nanoparticles: Sustainable Innovations for the Future
Abstract
Zinc nanoparticles (Zn NPs) are emerging as promising nanomaterials due to their unique physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and cost-effectiveness. Compared to other metal nanoparticles like silver or gold, Zn NPs offer low toxicity, high availability, and diverse applications across biomedical, environmental, agricultural, and technological fields. Their synthesis can be achieved through chemical, physical, and biological methods, each varying in scalability, environmental impact, and control over particle characteristics. Green synthesis, using plant extracts or microbes, is gaining popularity for its sustainability. Zn NPs are used in drug delivery, antimicrobial treatments, catalysis, pollution control, crop enhancement, and energy storage. However, concerns remain regarding their environmental toxicity and long-term effects. Continued research into safe, efficient production and functionalization is essential for harnessing their full potential in developing sustainable, high-performance nanotechnologies.
