India is a substantial and dynamic market, exhibiting an annual GDP growth rate of approximately 6.1% in 2019, as reported by the IMF, and increasing to 7% in 2020. Recently, numerous institutions have revised downward their growth projections for India owing to a worldwide economic slowdown. India is a significant participant in global economic governance. India maintains significant commercial and investment links with the EU. India was among the nations that established connections with the EU. An essential mechanism in this context is the EU-India trade subcommission, established under the 1994 cooperation and partnership agreements between the EU and India, which convenes annually. Since 2007, India and the EU have been negotiating broad-based trade and investment accords (BTIA). The European Union is India's foremost trading partner, representing €92 billion in trade in 2018, which constitutes 12.9% of India's overall commerce, surpassing China (10.9%) and the United States (10.1%). The trade of goods between these two entities surged by 72% over the past decade. The EU-India trade and investment partnership encompasses a broader scope, including Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); for instance, India has hosted "The International Solar Alliance" in collaboration with France. This document presents an extensive literature assessment of the trade relations between India and the European Union (EU). It examines the historical development, present dynamics, and future potential of this important economic connection. This review examines existing scholarly literature, policy reports, and trade data to elucidate significant trends, difficulties, and opportunities within the India-EU trade partnership.

Their works explore the themes of the region’s complicated history, which is highlighted by political unrest, cultural change, and the tragedy of bloodshed and displacement. This paper explores how the writings of both the writers employ the strategies of “Object Relation and Social Realism”. The concept of social realism explicitly depicts the traumatic reality of Nagaland, with special reference to political unrest, identity conflicts, and gender norms. Additionally, this paper delves into the psychological nuances in the portrayal of relationships, particularly those between family and community, with a particular focus on object relation theory. Through a close examination of important works by both Temsula Ao and Eastrine Kire, this paper aims to vividly show how these authors use literature to bring attention to both individual and collective trauma, and how their exploration of personal relationships helps us understand identity and emotional strength.

Body shaming is a form of bullying and is less studied in the Indian school context. The objective of the study was to find the prevalence and impact of body shaming on adolescents in school. An explanatory sequential mixed-method research design was used to study the stated objectives with a sample of 126 students aged 14-18 years. The quantitative data findings reflect that body shaming as a construct is not prevalent in the school, selected for the study. However, qualitative findings suggest that there is a prevalence of body shaming but not considered a problematic act by the students. The findings led to the conclusion that there is a lack of awareness about body shaming and its impact needs to be studied with a larger population.

Green financing, which directs capital toward environmentally sustainable projects, is pivotal in addressing climate change and achieving sustainable development goals. FinTech has emerged as a powerful tool in facilitating access to green finance, promoting transparency, cost-effectiveness, and regulatory compliance, while enabling crowdfunding for green projects. The paper examines the contributions of FinTech in supporting international climate efforts, promoting energy efficiency, financing renewable energy projects, and developing sustainable infrastructure. Additionally, it highlights how FinTech fosters financial inclusion by providing disadvantaged communities with access to green financing opportunities. Data from Indian banks and financial institutions illustrate the growing adoption of FinTech solutions and their impact on green finance portfolios, including renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure projects. Despite the positive impacts, the study identifies several challenges, including regulatory barriers, data privacy concerns, technological infrastructure gaps, and limited investor awareness. The research concludes with recommendations for strengthening regulatory frameworks, promoting collaboration among stakeholders, and investing in data security and financial literacy. Ultimately, the paper underscores FinTech’s transformative potential in driving the global transition toward a greener, more sustainable economy.

The scheme, launched in 2015, aims to provide collateral-free micro-credit to small and micro-enterprises, including women entrepreneurs traditionally excluded from formal financial systems. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research compares 312 women beneficiaries of MUDRA loans with 125 non-beneficiaries to assess differences in access to finance, digital banking adoption, and empowerment outcomes. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires, interviews, and focus group discussions, while secondary data were sourced from government and institutional reports. The findings indicate that MUDRA loans have significantly improved women’s access to banking services, enhanced their use of digital finance platforms, and contributed to increased income and financial independence. However, challenges such as digital literacy gaps, lack of follow-up support, and limited awareness of loan benefits remain. The study concludes that MUDRA Yojana plays a crucial role in promoting inclusive finance and enabling women’s economic participation. It recommends strengthening financial literacy, digital training, and business support services to maximize the long-term impact of the scheme on women’s empowerment in rural India.

The paper argues that the increasing Chinese aggression left India with no choice but to respond militarily. In light of the growing asymmetry of power between India and China, which favours China, India requires foreign assistance to strengthen its defence capabilities against China. The United States is a natural choice because it has sophisticated military technology and, like India, feels threatened by China’s rise. Washington’s leadership views India as a natural ally against China in Asia. After the Galwan Clash, significant developments between Washington and New Delhi occurred, such as the QUAD revitalisation and the BECA agreement. However, bilateral relations are not immune to the challenges highlighted in this paper. If both nations collaborate, these obstacles can be overcome, and the potential of ties can be realised.
