DOI: 10.17148/IMRJR.2025.020402
Abstract: Education is a powerful tool for socio-economic empowerment, especially for marginalized rural women who face barriers to traditional learning opportunities. Open and Distance Learning (ODL) has emerged as a key solution, offering flexibility and accessibility to women constrained by socio-cultural norms, economic hardships, and geographical isolation. This research explores the impact of ODL on empowering rural women from disadvantaged backgrounds, examining how it can enhance skill development, employment opportunities, and social empowerment. By analyzing case studies, surveys, and literature, the study assesses the effectiveness of ODL in bridging the educational gap. It also identifies existing challenges within the system and proposes reforms to improve its reach and impact.
Key statistical tools such as Pearson correlation, ANOVA, and regression models are applied to examine the effectiveness of ODL in literacy enhancement and employment growth. A comparative analysis across seven countries—USA, UK, India, China, Afghanistan (underdeveloped), South Africa, and Nigeria (developing)—provides global insights into ODL’s impact. The paper concludes with policy recommendations for strengthening ODL as a sustainable model for women's empowerment.

Abstract: The aim of this project is to run the IC engine by using solar extracted (hydrogen and petrol) hybrid fuel. By using solar plate, wet HHO generator we increase efficiency and minimize the pollution. Many nations are now experiencing a large disparity between power demand and production. In 2020, developing countries such as India would face a 4.3 percent energy shortfall. There are several limitations and drawbacks connected with traditional (non-renewable) energy supplies (coal, natural gas). Conventional (non-renewable) energy sources cannot be renewed in our lifetimes, and their cost and availability are its most significant drawbacks. Non-renewable resources have the disadvantage of producing greenhouse gases and causing environmental damage as a by-product. Countries are currently focusing on renewable energy sources to fulfil the demand for power. Using HHO generator extract hydrogen and use as a fuel in IC engine. This project contain IC engine is run on hydrogen and petrol (hybrid fuel) and increases duel economy and efficiency.

DOI: 10.17148/IMRJR.2025.020410
Abstract: Marriage as an social institution helps to establish a kinship bond in the society and are performed according to the prescribed rules of the society. In some cultures, it is performed outside the kin group while in others it is performed with a set category of kins like cross-cousins. Over the past few decades, however, marriage patterns have undergone significant changes worldwide. This paper explores the shifting dynamics of marriage, especially including the decline of traditional marriage, the culture of marrying cross-cousins, the rise of alternative forms of partnerships, and the factors influencing these changing patterns in the Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir. The paper analyses the social, cultural, economic, and technological drivers that have contributed to this shift and discusses the implications for individuals, families, and society as a whole. These changing marriage patterns can be helpful to gain insight into the evolving nature of human relationships and adapt the societal frameworks.
A Comparative Study of Supervised and Unsupervised Learning Approaches

DOI: 10.17148/IMRJR.2025.020411
Abstract: Users leverage mathematical models within machine learning solutions to obtain data patterns from big datasets, which enables them to create predictive models. Supervised learning achieved its classification separation through processing labeled datasets, leading to predictive procedural rules in information processing. By employing unsupervised learning systems on untagged data, users can automatically detect normal patterns and relational patterns while also conceiving abnormal patterns. The combination of labeled data analysis using current analytical obstacles steers analysts toward selecting between supervised or unsupervised learning because these methods demand distinct analytical needs. Supervised training systems process data collections that contain target criteria by applying numerical value processing and classification-based pattern identification methods to establish correlation patterns. The model achieves operational accuracy during training phases, which enables it to predict unknown input attributes whose values have remained unidentified. Under Supervised Learning of Machine Learning, we find linear regression supporting logistic regression and support vector machines followed by decision trees with neural networks, including user-specific algorithms. All available algorithms present various associations between their interpretation potential and performance limits and their managerial characteristics. Unsupervised learning methods act as discovery tools that optimize their ability to detect patterns in unlabeled information. The self-governed model development process has no place in unsupervised learning because systems operate through autonomous means. The clustering family uses K-means clustering combined with hierarchical clustering methods together with distance metrics along with density estimation procedures to perform point matching of similar patterns for better visual understanding through principal component analysis and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE). Systems that deploy semi-supervised learning frameworks benefit model learning applications since they use supervised data jointly with unsupervised algorithms while operating with or without labeled data and large amounts of unlabeled data.

DOI: 10.17148/IMRJR.2025.020415
Abstract: Zinc sulphide thin films were deposited at room temperature by chemical bath deposition technique. The films deposited are highly uniform but poor in adherence. The optical properties were determined using the absorbance data measurement from M501 Single Beam Scanning UV/Visible Spectrophotometer at normal incidence of light, in the wavelength range of 380nm-700nm. From the results, the transmittance and reflectance were calculated. The band gap energy obtained is in the range of 3.0-3.3eV for different variations of TEA, Time and NH3. The transmittance and reflectance increase at higher concentration of complexing agent-TEA whereas the absorbance decreases. The transmittance also increases with time of deposition. Their high transmittance makes them suitable for use as an aesthetic window glass and good material for selective coatings for solar cells. The thickness of the thin films was also found to increase with time of deposition and the concentration of complexing agent-TEA. Also increase in the NH3 concentration decreases absorbance. This study explores the impact of complexing agents on the optical properties of ZnS thin films fabricated via chemical bath deposition, with the goal of enhancing their performance for optoelectronic applications.
