Using Drones for Surveying Land

One effective technique for increasing the efficiency, accuracy and safety of construction projects is drone surveying. Construction organizations can regularly create accurate maps and models of their project sites and project processes using drones to collect aerial images and data.

The question of how drones are used in the construction industry has numerous answers. Surveyors are essential to starting virtually any project, but large construction projects require their help more than other types. Using drone imagery, they can create legally acceptable subdivisions, determine land boundaries and assess the suitability of a property before any foundation work begins. Construction companies can use the information offered to make crucial first decisions that guarantee maximum safety and legality of the project.

In the current scenario, drone surveys replace aerial surveys where aerial survey requires more manpower and higher cost, while in drone land surveys, land survey can be done by 1 or 2 people in less time and cost.

The use of drone technology is becoming increasingly available for use in various sectors of agriculture. Although this technology is still nascent in India, many companies are trying to make it readily available to Indian farmers and ready to use to increase the efficiency of agricultural production.

Human Poverty Index

An index is a statistical measure that provides data from different sources for analytical studies.

Economic indices track various economic parameters like income, health, happiness, etc.

The human poverty index (HPI) is an indication of the standard of living in a country. HPI was a

complement to the Human Development Index (HDI), which was developed by the United Nations in the

year 2007.

The human poverty index centralizes its focus on the absence of three main elements of human life

consisting of) longevity- life expectancy, basic healthcare, and infant mortality rate

II) Knowledge – literacy level, school enrolment

III) Standard of living – per capita income, access to clean drinking water, sanitation, adequate

housing HPI is measured in two ways, first for developing countries(HPI-I) and second for groups of

selected high-income OECD countries (HPI II) for a better understanding of socioeconomic differences among the nations of the world.

India and HPI Parameter (2022). Percentage

1) Longevity. 70.19 years.

2) infant mortality rate. 5.6 per thousand births.

3) literacy rate. 74.37%.

4) School Enrollment. 88%

5) per capita income. 1.70 lakhs per annum.

6) safe drinking water. 71%.

7) sanitation facility. 97%.

When it comes to world statistics, India stands at 111 number out of 125 countries in the

world in multidimensional poverty index. Although India is the fifth largest economy in the world,

still, we are still far behind other countries when it comes to the human poverty index.

Election Commission of India

After INDIA attained independence in August 1947, there was the need to hold a general election to elect a truly representative government based on universal adult suffrage. Article 324 of the Indian constitution provides for the setting up of election commissions as independent constitutional Authorities.

The Indian constitution provides for an independent election commission to ensure free and fair elections in the country. The power of superintendence Direction and conduct of election to the parliament, the state legislature, and the office of the president and vice president is vested in the commission. 

The Election Commission is a body of all India. It is common to both central and state governments. The commission does not deal with the election of Municipal Corporations and panchayats in the state. The constitution of India provided a separate state election commission.

From the starting period of the Election Commission 1950 to 15th October 1989 commission was a one-member body with only Chief Election Commissioner On 16 October 1989 two more election commissioners were appointed by the president. But later on in January 1990, the election commission reverted to its previous position. But again in 1993, the president appointed two more election commissioners. Since then the election commission has been the multi-member body. The chief and the other two members have the same powers and emoluments.

Shri Rajiv Kumar, election commissioner of India since 1st of September 2020. He took charge as the 25th chief election commissioner of India on 15th May 2022.

Journey of Social Media

 Who is not familiar with the word social media today? If we talk about its literal meaning, then it means social communication medium. If we talk about the scenario of about 2 decades ago, then at that time people had limited resources to convey their feelings to each other. The best and cheapest resource used to be letters.

By the mid-1990s, apart from Doordarshan, a few selected private TV channels had come into the entertainment fold; for music lovers, audio cassettes had been replaced by compact discs; telephones were used to talk and express emotions Was the only powerful medium.

Computers and the Internet had started slowly by this time. Letters had been replaced by Rediff and Yahoo Mail. People were now learning to use Yahoo Messenger and Orkut to communicate. Compact Discs were replaced by DVDs and televisions were replaced by LCDs. By then a flood of private TV channels had started coming.

The mobile era started in the early 2000s and it developed new dimensions of communication for people, which started with pagers and SMS. Now people could write small messages and send them to each other, that too in less than a second.

Multimedia phones replaced keypad mobile phones. In this, users could listen to songs, watch videos, and send mail, record audio and video. At the beginning of 2010, there was a lot of progress in the means of entertainment, cinemas transformed into Cineplexes and multiplexes, LCDs were replaced by LEDs, multimedia phones were replaced by smart mobile phones, now people could also do live video calling, many new applications. The most liked resource among them is WhatsApp and Facebook which has brought a new revolution in the social media world.

Due to this, people's social circle also increased, time was saved, and people started staying updated, after this, new applications started coming for every field. Nowadays, the main preferred apps in social media platforms are Instagram, Twitter Linked In and YouTube. YouTube channels are a powerful medium of learning and teaching today.  

Like always, one thing of science seems to be true even today that science is both a boon and a curse. Now we have to understand whether we have to use so many applications of social media for our benefit or harm.

Unraveling the Power of Data Science: Insights into Storage, Retrieval, Analysis, and Visualization

Data plays a crucial role in various aspects of our lives. Hospitals maintain extensive records of

medical reports and prescriptions for their patients. Similarly, banks store detailed transaction

information for thousands of customers, while the stock market tracks minute-to-minute changes in

share values. The ubiquity of data underscores its significance in today's world. Given its

importance, effective mechanisms for data storage are essential. Data originates from diverse

sources, including businesses' sales, purchase, and production departments. These data are

typically stored in a centralized system known as a 'data warehouse,' serving as a repository for

integrated information.

Once data is securely stored, retrieval becomes imperative. For instance, businesses may seek to

analyze their expenditure on raw materials over the past six months or identify the number of

defective items in their production units. However, navigating through vast datasets within the data

warehouse to extract such specific information is challenging. Therefore, data analysts are pivotal in

retrieving and analyzing data to address management queries. Their expertise is vital in interpreting

data effectively to facilitate informed decision-making within organizations.

Following data analysis, IT professionals are responsible for presenting findings in easily

understandable formats, such as graphs or charts, for management review. This process, known as

data visualization, aims to convey complex information clearly and efficiently through statistical

representations. By visualizing data trends and patterns, management gains insights into the

company's performance and can make informed decisions about future strategies. Overall, data

science encompasses a range of techniques aimed at extracting, analyzing, and presenting data to

support informed decision-making within businesses. Professionals engaged in this field, known as.

‘Data Scientists,' play a crucial role in leveraging data to derive valuable insights and drive

organizational success.

Recent Merger of Banks in India

INTRODUCTION

Merger plays a very dominant role in the world of banking. It is not a new concept it's an ancient tradition.

Merger means two large companies having different identities becoming one company or two separate entities becoming a new entity. Over the past several years, the Indian banking sector has witnessed many mergers and acquisitions and these mergers and acquisitions have had a very good positive impact on the performance of financial institutions.

In the year 2019, our Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced in the Parliament House that 10 large public sector banks of India will be merged to form four large banks. With this merger, the number of public sector banks in India has reduced from 27 to 12. Now there are six consolidated banks and other sox are separate public sector banks.

The details of the 10 banks that have been merged are as follows:

1. Oriental Bank of Commerce and United Bank of India with Punjab National Bank.

2. Canara Bank with Syndicate Bank

3. Corporation Bank and Union Bank of India with Andhra Bank and

4. Indian Bank with Allahabad Bank

 

Impact of these mergers

After these mergers, Punjab National Bank became the second largest public sector bank of India, after the State Bank of India.

Union Bank of India become the fifth largest public sector bank after this merger.

Allahabad Bank will become the seventh-largest public sector bank in India.

The primary reasons for mergers of banks are:-

• Strengthening the national economy.
• Boosting the profitability of banks.
• Reducing Non-Performing Assets.
• To increase working efficiency.
• To expand the network of banks.

Data Protection & Consensus Ad Idem With AI

 India’s recent take on Data Protection Law has not only widened the scope of privacy laws, which busted out from the K.S. PUTTASWAMY case but also regulated various aspects of Digital platforms that are directly or indirectly consuming data of individuals. As technological developments are taking rapid growth in Indian culture, the role of AI (Artificial Intelligence) has overlapped the data protection laws in India.

It has been observed that it took some time for the Indian Government to inculcate Data Protection laws as compared to other countries, but Indian Data Protection Laws follow, the European Union's GDPR, which is one of the best models of data protection laws dealing with various aspects of privacy rights. This is not only a welcoming step from the government but also stands still with the upcoming challenges like AI.

Artificial Intelligence, on the one hand, proves to be a useful tool to make things easier but also has serious repercussions on of personal data of individuals as AI uses data without having proper consent from the individuals which could be dangerous for ethical as well as societal points of view.

Hence, regulating rules and laws which can counter the misuse of AI keeping in mind the objectives of implementing Data protection laws will have to be taken into consideration as soon as possible.
