Solar energy is one of the richest source of renewable energy on Earth, thus its harnessing is very much necessary for the useful conversion of light energy into electric energy. Solar panels are developed in this direction. Many scientists have developed various methods to gather the solar irradiation in order to maximize the extraction of electric power from the Photovoltaic generators. However, the problem with the solar power is that it is directly dependent on light intensity. The main hindrance with solar panels is their low efficiency with huge investment. Studies show that a solar panel converts 20-40% of energy incident on it to electrical energy. The solution is to use a tracking system1, 7 that maintains the panel’s position orthogonal with the light source. There are many tracking systems designs available including passive and active systems with one or two axes of freedom.8, 9 It has been found that the overall efficiency gain in single-axis solar tracker designed in10 is 27% than that of fixed mechanism. We had optimised the tracker efficiency by performing the experiment with solar tracker for consecutive three days and thus results were analysed by using stat-ease software. Moreover, the testing showed that the power used by the tracking system was much less than that of power gained by tracking system. While working on the developed set-up, focus was given on the incremental efficiency of the solar power generation system. In the present work, further performance analysis is taken up with the help of various parameters viz. Specific Energy Production (SEP), Performance Ratio (PR), Ground Cover Ratio (GCR) and Surface Performance Ratio (SPR)11 to further elaborate the efficiency enhancement in solar trackers as compared to fixed systems.

The requirement to address risk in the prevailing business environment has been accentuated due to the constraints of the pandemic. It is proposed that the nature of risk context has been fundamentally altered by the global events of COVID. This paper provides a perspective that is based on an exploratory study of the identification and addressing of risk, in terms of business projects.A review of the literature has been undertaken and the key themes for the study topic identified. A senior manager, who is responsible for risk management at a company that runs international projects, was interviewed in an empirical study. A thematic analysis was performed, employing an inductive approach, in this research into a single case. The aim was to contribute to the prevailing literature and enhance understanding of the post pandemic business environment, in respect of risk management.The principal questions concerning risk and risk management are discerned. The objective is to consider risk in the post pandemic environment, in order to improve understanding of the issues relevant to business. The requirement to address these issues is also covered, with an attempt to determine the main themes from the research, in order to assist practitioners.The use of technology to support business continuity and achieve business objectives during the pandemic is discussed. An articulation of Lewin’s change model is proposed to summarise this work and assist in the comprehension of the contemporary situation.

Natural disasters were a matter of things which were happening on the other side of the globe or planet especially for the people in Kerala. But disasters starting from 2004 Tsunami, 2017 Ockhi and 2018 floods exposed our vulnerabilities. Just before these disasters there were certain indications by the nature called as natural precursors. But the coastal community was not at all aware of such things and it contributed to the intensity of casualty. This paper is an attempt to identify and showcase those natural precursors during the event of above mentioned natural disasters which happened in Kerala and Tamilnadu. The investigation highlights the need for creating awareness about these kind of precursors especially among the coastal community. This investigation mentions several different, occurred precursors and briefly mentions about the science behind these precursors and urges the need for an in-depth scientific analysis incorporating large samples of heterogeneous nature, physical modelling and numerical modelling for unraveling the causative factors behind this. In-depth understanding about these kinds of precursors should be carried out and it should be backed with scientific evidence. The investigation recommends effective use of both official warnings and natural precursors for accelerating the mitigation activities prior to a disaster.

Technology pervades every aspect of modern life and the recent pandemic has increased our reliance on and usage of technology to overcome the constraints of movement that have necessarily been imposed on populations. This has allowed society to proceed with business and social activity via the virtual world. Most of the major advances of society have been driven by technology to form new paradigms. However, these have brought their own problems, with the creation of pollution, waste, depletion of natural resources, exploitation of the workforce, and destruction of the natural world. This paper aims to consider the requisite changes to use technology to sustain our environment, highlighting the attempts to reverse the destructive trends driven by technological advancement. The required contingency framework for technology is discussed, in respect of its central aspects. The principal theme is that technology, in terms of the creation of tools for human usage, is neutral, however, the focus of society towards investing in technologies and the manner in which technologies are used is not neutral. The potential for political, social, and economic agenda exists, underpinning decisions in these spheres, so human interest drives this technological change. This article outlines the key themes leading to the development of a symbiotic approach to the relationship between technology and environment. The requisite change drivers for technology projects are considered, such as the ‘triple bottom line’ approach that encompasses society and the environment together with profit as factors in decision-making and the use of global virtual teams, to run and maintain such projects and their resultant products and services.The article uses a review of a range of literature to consider these central themes to enable and encourage technological change that sustains the environment, in respect of the natural and social worlds. A framework is proposed in order to provide an initial consideration of the topic and as a vehicle for future research into this area.

Nepal has many factors that influence economic development one of the factors in agriculture. The main objectives of this paper are to examine the status of the economic growth of Nepal and dependency on economic growth in Agriculture illustrating statistically.The quantitative cum survey method is employed here to analyse the relationship between the economic growth of Nepal and Agriculture. The macro data used here are based on a secondary source. The data are taken from an economic survey published by the Ministry of Finance, Government of Nepal.Statistical tools like regression analysis, correlations, the coefficient of multiple determinations and the adjusted coefficient of determination have been employed.In Nepal, over the last fifteen years, poverty has remarkably come down despite lower economic growth meaning that reducing poverty would be much easier if the economic growth rate could be increased. Regarding economic growth contribution of the agriculture sector to GDP is gradually decreasing every year, while that of the non-agriculture sector increasing. The contribution of the agriculture sector to GDP is estimated to stand 27.7% and 72.3% respectively in the FY 2019/2020 while their contribution during FY 2018/2019 was 27.0% and 73.0% respectively.

Every coin has two sides. Likewise, as we are progressing towards the era of technology and industrialization; a lot of worst effects are arising as well. Along with the ecosystem, human health is suffering from some adverse issues because of pollution. We have heard about outdoor air pollution but indoor air pollution is even more harmful to human health. It is being observed that Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is getting worse day by day leading to many lung diseases, breathing issues, low birth rate, eye-related diseases, perinatal conditions, etc. Hence these issues have to be considered before getting too late. Indoor air quality varies from regions i.e. in the case of developed countries; cooling-heating appliances, electric devices, petroleum products, etc. are the major contributors to deplete IAQ. While in case of developing countries which have a huge number of rural areas; biomass open fires, traditional cooking systems with direct fire expose or indoor stove, etc. are the major factors behind damaged indoor air quality. Generally, children and aged persons spend most of their time inside the house. These people have low immunity hence they get easily affected by depleted IAQ and face many health-related issues. There is a long list of harmful pollutants like NOX, COX, SOX, organic matter, etc. that play a significant role in damaging air quality. A ventilation system is essential in offices, theatres, malls, homes, etc. but the occupant devices lower the air quality index. Likewise, green-house effects increase the percentage of COX which damages nature and human health as well. All these factors, parameters, adverse effects and solutions are studied in this paper.

Natural resources are scarce and there is a need to explore new resources to meet the rising demand for energy. There is also a need to meet sustainable development goals through proper planning and strategy. Fossil fuel has a finite supply and there will be a huge gap between demand and supply due to rising demand. There is a need to develop biofuel to replace fossil fuel. This paper gives a discussion about current issues and future directions in these sectors.

Soil, itself means Soul of Infinite Life. Soil is the naturally occurring unconsolidated or loose covering on the earth’s surface. Physical properties depend upon the amount, size, shape, arrangement, and mineral composition of soil particles. It also depends on the organic matter content and pore spaces. Chemical properties depend on the Inorganic and organic matter present in the soil. Soils are the essential components of the environment and foundation resources for nearly all types of land use, besides being the most important component of sustainable agriculture. Therefore, assessment of soil quality and its direction of change with time is an ideal and primary indicator of sustainable agricultural land management. Soil quality indicators refer to measurable soil attributes that influence the capacity of a soil to function, within the limits imposed by the ecosystem, to preserve biological productivity and environmental quality and promote plant, animal and human health. The present study is to assess these soil attributes such as physical and chemical properties season-wise.

Nowadays, environmental problems, especially air pollution issues, are one of the major problems in the metropolis of the world, which its side dimensions and effects are increasing day by day. According to statistics and Information over 30% of the world’s energy consumption is allocated to the transport sector, it is not, therefore, unthinkable that to consider motor vehicles as one of the main sources of air pollution. Gases from the combustion of vehicles’ fuel are the most important air pollutants. Therefore, the first step in the process of reducing air pollution is to reduce vehicle traffic and also fuel consumption reduction per vehicle navigation. To achieve these goals, various traffic solutions have been proposed. These include the use of traffic culture making tools to reduce and control air pollution. In this paper, the effects of the cultural context in traffic and transportation sector are studied, especially the affections related on the choice of transport mode used in urban trips to reduce air pollution, it is noticeable that using appropriate educational methods and promoting the cultural levels of society by using various tools can greatly reduce air pollutants, especially in metropolitan areas.
