Study Of Optimum Parameters In Enhancing The Performance Of VCR Engine Using Taguchi Method

Biofuels are in present days are known commonly to the peoples which is considered to be as alternative fuel to the various types of engines in automobile sectors. The commonly used engine is variable compression ratio engine which is available in market. The fuel type is diesel. Moreover, to run the engine using alternative fuel has made challenging to researcher in present scenario, due to depletion of traditional fuel i.e. fossil fuel. In the present work biofuel namely turmeric leaf oil (TLO) with various percentages of blends is used in VCR engine along with traditional fuel to evaluate the performance based on their output parameters like brake thermal efficiency and volumetric efficiency and their emissions from the exhaust. The blend with various percentages like B70 (i.e. 70% diesel and 30% turmeric leaf oil), B60 (i.e. 60% diesel and 40% TLO) and B50 (i.e. 50% diesel and 50% of TLO) were considered in the present work. As the type of engine is variable compression ratio, therefore three compression ratios are considering i.e. 17.5:1, 18.5:1 and 19.5:1, by maintain constant speed rate of 1500rpm in the current work. The finding reveals that 19.5:1 compression and B70 has performed better when compared with other ratios and blends. The performance is determined based on the load applied on the VCR engine

Decoupled deformation between crust and mantle beneath Indo-Burmese Wedge: A new seismotectonic model

Ongoing oblique convergence at the eastern margin of the Indo-Eurasian collision zone provides a natural laboratory for studying the deformation and dynamics of subduction beneath the Indo-Burmese Wedge (IBW). Here, we conduct the first comprehensive seismological investigations to understand the mechanical coupling between the crust and mantle beneath IBW using shear-wave splitting analysis and stress modeling. The deformation patterns in the crust signify a strong E-W compressional stress regime throughout IBW, with negligible influence from the major geological structures. These observations derived from local seismicity strongly support that the eastward active subduction of the Indian plate beneath the Burmese sliver is responsible for the crustal-scale deformation. Contrary to the crust, our splitting measurements from the mantle are in line with the major N-S trending arcs created by slip-partitioning due to transpressional oblique subduction. The splitting measurements with an N-S orientated fast axes and the estimated depth of the anisotropy source obtained from the spatial coherency of splitting parameters strongly suggest the presence of trench-parallel sub-slab flow system driven by slab retreat with westward trench migration, which can be the major controlling mechanism of the mantle deformation beneath IBW. Throughout the IBW, a significant change in the orientations of stress and splitting parameters between the crust and mantle supports a decoupled deformation scenario, implying the necessity of a new seismotectonic model. Our integrative study on the present stress patterns and decoupled deformation mechanism between crust and mantle combined with anisotropy measurements beneath the IBW suggests active subduction in the present scenario.

A Novel Development of Soft Computing based Hybrid Power Point Tracking Controllers for Hydrogen Vehicle Application with New Wide Source DC-DC Converter

From the present power generation scenario, most of the power production companies are focusing on renewable energy systems because their merits are easy to install, more reliable power sources, free from atmospheric pollution, and better adaptable to all weather conditions. In this article, a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) module is selected in the first objective to produce constant and continuous power to the hydrogen-based electrical vehicle systems. This fuel module provides fast power production and gives good energy density. However, the demerits of this module are more current production and low-level voltage generation. A new single-switch DC-DC circuit is introduced in the second objective of this work for optimizing the current levels of the fuel module thereby reducing the source power loss of the proposed system. Here, another problem of the fuel module is nonlinear power production which is linearized by proposing the Cuckoo Search Optimization (CSO)-based Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) in the third objective to extract the maximum voltage from the fuel module. The merits of this introduced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Controller are better tracking speed, low-level disturbances in the consumer load power, high robustness, more sustainability, and easy operation. The entire proposed system is investigated by selecting the MATLAB Simulink tool. The introduced converter circuit is analyzed by selecting the programmed DC supply.

Evaluation of Foxtail Millet Varieties for Thermotolerance at Seedling Stage using Temperature Induction Response Technique (TIR)

In the present scenario of climate change, Foxtail millet is the best crop of choice and an indispensable component of dryland farming due to its C4 plant type and tolerance against the abiotic stresses. However, all the foxtail millet varieties may not sustain under severe temperature stress particularly at germination and seedling growth stages. Therefore, screening of varieties is required to identify the stress tolerant varieties in foxtail millet which can combat temperature stress at seed germination and early seedling growth stages which is the need of the hour under ever changing climatic conditions. Hence, A lab experiment was conducted to standardize the temperature induction response (TIR) protocol for foxtail millet seedlings using WGC-450 programmable plant growth chamber. Temperatures were standardized as sub lethal i.e. challenging temperatures as 38°C – 54°C for 5 hours and lethal temperatures as 56°C for 3 hours. Seven foxtail millet varieties (Suryanandi, SiA 3156, Srilakshmi, SiA 3085, Narasimharaya, Krishnadevaraya and Prasad) were screened for intrinsic tolerance using the standardized Thermo Induced Response (TIR) protocol. Out of the seven varieties evaluated, SiA 3085, Prasad, Suryanandi, Srilakshmi were identified to possess high level of thermo tolerance in terms of higher seedling survival with less reduction in root and shoot growth. The varieties with intrinsic heat tolerance can be explored for the development of heat stress tolerant varieties.

Progress in MOFs and MOFs-Integrated MXenes as Electrode Modifiers for Energy Storage and Electrochemical Sensing Applications

The global energy demand and environmental pollution are the two major challenges of the present scenario. Recently, researchers focused on the preparation and investigation of catalysts for their capacitive properties for energy storage devices. Thus, supercapacitors have received extensive interest from researchers due to their promising energy storage features and decent cyclic stability/performance. The performance of the supercapacitors are significantly influenced by the physicochemical properties of the electrocatalyst. In this review article, we have compiled the previous reports on the fabrication of MOFs-based composite materials with MXenes for energy storage and electrochemical sensing applications. The metallic and bimetallic MOFs and MOFs/MXenes materials for supercapacitor applications are reviewed. In addition, MOFs/MXenes-based hybrid composites are also compiled towards the determination of various toxic/hazardous materials, such as metal ions like copper ions, mercury ions, and picric acid. We believe that present review article may benefit the researchers working on the preparation of MOFs-based catalysts for supercapacitor and electrochemical sensing applications.

Investigation of Excellence in Nd-YAG laser cutting of Al6061-T6 Thin sheet using GRA coupled with PCA

Abstract Cutting flying materials with minimum deviations and metallurgical damages is always preferred for airframe work in aircraft industries. In the present scenario, the laser cutting process has become the preferred choice for fine cutting of sheet materials with close tolerances. This paper reports the investigation of excellence in pulsed laser cutting of Al-alloy (Al6061-T6) sheet. Five quality characteristics for quantifying the dimensional accuracy (i.e., kerf width and deviation at the top and bottom side) and metallurgical damage (i.e., heat-affected zone) have been considered for the proposed work. These characteristics depend on the lamp current, laser parameters (pulse width and frequency), and relative motion between the sheetmetal and laser source. The experiments have been performed using the design of experiments technique. Further, the results of laser cutting have been optimized by using grey relational analysis (GRA) coupled with principal component analysis (PCA). The application of GRA-PCA is found capable of optimizing all five process responses at a time. The unevenness within the kerf is reduced by 22% and 32% at the top and bottom sides, respectively.

The Need to Maintain the Quality of Naturally Pure Water of Sarayu River

Rivers are a link between human life and nature. All the ancient developed cities are situated on the banks of some river or the other ancient civilizations of India have developed on the banks of rivers. The river is helpful in both, flood and drought conditions, works to balance nature by absorbing the flood water inside itself and giving water to animals and humans during drought. In the present scenario, due to the increasing population of cities and the pollution arising from it, the water of rivers is getting polluted rapidly. Many rivers of the country are slowly disappearing and some rivers have water only during monsoon. Our country is slowly moving towards water crisis. To get out of this crisis, we all need a corrective change in behaviour along with scientific remedial system. The per capita availability of water has decreased significantly in the last 75 years. According to one figure, in 1951 the per capita was 5177 cubic meters but in the year 2011 only 1545 cubic meters of water is available per person. According to a study by the National Institute of Hydrology, India will have only 814 cubic meters of usable water per capita in 2025. When we studied the water of Sarayu river, it was found that all the parameters and heavy metals present in the water raised after monsoon are within the processed limit. When the properties of the water of Sarayu river were studied, surprising results came out. All the elements present in the water like calcium, magnesium, chloride, fluoride, alkalinity, nitrate ion, sulphate ion, arsenic and manganese etc. were within the required limits. Desirable limits of calcium, magnesium, chloride, alkalinity, nitrate ion, sulphate ion are 75 mg/l, 30 mg/l, 25 mg/l, 200 mg/l, 200 mg/l, respectively. The maximum values in pre-monsoon were found to be 38.47 mg/l, 26.24 mg/l, 15.9 mg/l, 192 mg/l, 0.20 mg/l and 20.10 mg/l respectively and in post-monsoon its maximum value was found to be 28.86 mg/l, 12.49 mg/l, 17.99 mg/l, 128 mg/l, 1.5 mg/l and 41.30 mg/l, respectively. The desirable limit of arsenic is 0.01, found to be 0.01 at some places in pre-monsoon but found to be nil in post-monsoon.

Cascading hazards in volcanic environments: monitoring, modelling and impact analysis of tsunamigenic flows for risk reduction

Volcanic environments present complex multi-hazard scenarios where primary volcanic activity can trigger cascading hazards or where multiple hazards can occur simultaneously, leading to cascading and compounding impacts on communities and ecosystems. Stromboli, one of the most active volcanoes globally, exemplifies these challenges with its frequent eruptions, pyroclastic density currents, landslides, and tsunamis. In the present study, the mechanisms behind tsunamigenic flows at Stromboli are investigated by using extensive monitoring data from previous studies and numerical modelling. Key findings from simulations and parametric analysis are presented, showing the relationships between mass flow dynamics, morphological factors, and tsunami generation. A more comprehensive context is then considered by drawing the impact chain related to tsunamigenic flows during a volcanic eruption. This includes a broad evaluation of the exposure, vulnerability and possible mitigation measures. Starting from the study of the hazard and then following up with the evaluation of the impacts, this study emphasizes the necessity of a holistic approach in multi-hazards environment, where accurate hazards modelling and monitoring, interdisciplinary collaboration, and community engagement need to be considered to reduce risk.

Forecasting Suitable Habitats of the Clouded Leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) in Asia: Insights into the Present and Future Climate Projections Within and Beyond Extant Boundaries

Terrestrial carnivores, such as the clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa), are ‘vulnerable’ and experiencing significant population declines in mainland Asia. Considering the assessed threats, the IUCN has repetitively revised the range of this felid and now characterized it into four distinct categories (extant, possibly extant, possibly extinct, and extinct). Although several ecological works have been accomplished on this enigmatic carnivore, the overall view of its habitat suitability, fragmentation, and corridor connectivity in both present and historical ranges is lacking. Thus, achieving this ecological information under present and future climate scenarios is crucial. The model identified merely 44,033 sq. km falling within the extant range (representing 31.66%) and 20,034 sq. km (8.13%) in the possibly extant range. Fascinatingly, within the historical ranges, an additional 15,264 sq. km (6.58%) has been identified as suitable habitat in the possibly extinct range and 14,022 sq. km (2.38%) in the extinct range. Notably, a total of 25,614 sq. km of suitable habitat is found within designated protected areas across the entire range. Nevertheless, climate change is expected to drive habitat loss of up to 41% (overall IUCN range) for N. nebulosa in both present and historical extent, with habitat patches becoming increasingly fragmented. This is reflected in a projected decline in the number of viable habitat patches (NP) by up to 23.29% in the future. This study also identified 18 transboundary biological corridors for N. nebulosa, with Southeast Asian countries expected to experience the most significant declines in corridor connectivity. In contrast, the South Asian countries (Bhutan, Nepal, and India) are projected to maintain relatively higher connectivity in the future. Nevertheless, a substantial decline in overall mean corridor connectivity is projected in the near future due to the impacts of climate change. This study underscores the urgent need for a coordinated and multifaceted conservation strategy for N. nebulosa, focusing on mitigating habitat loss and fragmentation. Practical measures must be implemented to protect the species’ shrinking range, considering its declining corridor networks and heightened vulnerability to inbreeding depression. Moreover, the assessment of habitat suitability both within and beyond the extant range, alongside corridor connectivity measures, provides valuable insights into potential translocation and reintroduction sites for this species. These findings provide a critical foundation for developing a strategic conservation plan tailored to the specific needs of this felid species across South and Southeast Asia, ensuring enhanced climate resilience and mitigating associated threats.

The Differential Effects of Augmented Reality and Product Presentation Strategies on Brand Recall: An Embodied Cognition Perspective

As augmented reality (AR) technology becomes more prevalent in marketing, its impact on consumer memory processes, particularly brand recall, remains underexplored. This study primarily employs an empirical research method, using two lab experiments to examine the interaction between product presentation formats (AR vs. non-AR) and presentation strategies (separate vs. collocation) in brand recall. Across two experiments, we showed that AR enhances brand recall only in collocation presentations, where multiple products are displayed together, but not in separate presentations of individual products. In single-product contexts, AR formats do not demonstrate a significant advantage over non-AR formats. These findings suggest that AR’s effectiveness is contingent on presentation strategy, highlighting the contextual boundaries of AR’s utility in influencing consumer memory. By integrating embodied cognition theory with associative network theory, this research advances our understanding of how immersive technologies shape brand recall, offering strategic insights for marketers seeking to leverage AR in diverse product presentation scenarios.

Nutritional Significance of Wheatgrass: Cultivation Practices and Opportunities for its Processing and Preservation.

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the nutritional composition and bioactive compounds found in wheatgrass, including chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds, as well as their associated health benefits. The review focuses on various cultivation practices, preservation techniques, and the current utilization of wheatgrass as a whole. Additionally, the potential toxicity of wheatgrass has been discussed. Wheatgrass, a nutrient-rich grass, possesses significant pharmacological and therapeutic qualities. In the present scenario, wheatgrass is available in the form of juice, powder, and tablets, and is incorporated into various food products through different processing treatments. Information and data regarding wheatgrass cultivation practices, processing, and preservation methods were collected from scientific sources, including Google Scholar, ResearchGate, ScienceDirect, fig, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Wheatgrass is a highly valuable source of diverse nutrient compounds. Various cultivation methods, such as indoor and outdoor techniques using different growing mediums, have been employed for wheatgrass production. Recent methods for wheatgrass preservation have been suggested to enhance the bioactive compounds present in wheatgrass. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the consumption of wheatgrass and wheatgrass- based products can help control diabetes, atherosclerosis, kidney and colon diseases, anemia, and certain types of cancer. The smaller size of wheatgrass allows for easier assimilation of its beneficial compounds. Creating awareness among consumers about the nutritional profile and therapeutic properties of wheatgrass is crucial in order to maximize its market potential.

Collective dynamics of swarmalators driven by a mobile pacemaker.

Swarmalators, namely, oscillators with intrinsic frequencies that are able to self-propel to move in space, may undergo collective spatial swarming and meanwhile phase synchronous dynamics. In this paper, a swarmalator model driven by an external mobile pacemaker is proposed to explore the swarming dynamics in the presence of the competition between the external organization of the moving pacemaker and the intrinsic self-organization among oscillators. It is unveiled that the swarmalator system may exhibit a wealth of novel spatiotemporal patterns including the spindle state, the ripple state, and the trapping state. Transitions among these patterns and the mechanisms are studied with the help of different order parameters. The phase diagrams present systematic scenarios of various possible collective swarming dynamics and the transitions among them. The present study indicates that one may manipulate the formation and switching of the organized collective states by adjusting the external driving force, which is expected to shed light on applications of swarming performance control in natural and artificial groups of active agents.

Innovative Hand Sign to Text-and-Speech Conversion System

In present scenario, it is difficult for people who are unable to speak due to various reasons. It may not be a permanent condition, as muteness and deafness can be caused or manifest due to several different phenomena, such as physiological injury, illness, medical side effects, psychological trauma, developmental disorders, or neurological disorders. People who are suffering from this typically use the Sign Language to communicate with other people. However, it is not possible for everyone to be acquainted with communication using sign language. This project focuses on developing a solution which can be used by regular people to understand the people having mutism. Hand Sign Recognition Systems have evolved significantly with advancements in machine learning and deep learning techniques. These systems are designed to recognize gestures or signs, making them useful in various applications such as sign language interpretation, human-computer interaction, and virtual reality. This paper gives an overview of the current state of hand sign recognition systems, highlighting the techniques used, challenges, and possible future directions. The focus of the paper is on deep learning-based methods and their impact on the accuracy and usability of hand sign recognition in real-time applications [1]

Analyzing the Determinants of Teleworking during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Chile

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered an unprecedented increase in telework, a trend expected to have lasting effects on the labor market and commuting patterns, including location preferences. Understanding the demand for telework is critical to face the challenges that may come in present and future scenarios with hybrid work arrangements. In this paper, a model for the probability of telework is proposed and estimated with data collected during two different periods of the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020, in Chile. The model measures the correlation between several socioeconomic characteristics, and latent variables related to concerns about health and the economy, with the probability of teleworking. We find that low-income workers are less likely to telework, and that females are more likely to work from home. Latent variables also played a relevant role at the beginning of the pandemic: a greater concern about health issues increased the probability of teleworking. In comparison, a greater concern about the economic effects of the pandemic had the opposite impact. However, these effects shifted 10 weeks into the pandemic, when a total lockdown was imposed in the largest city. The implications of our findings for both policy and research after the pandemic are discussed.

APPLICATION OF GLOBAL CIRCULATION MODELS (GCMS) TO PREDICT RAINFALL AND TEMPERATURE VARIABILITIES IN KANO STATE, NIGERIA

The study explored present and future climate scenarios of Kano using Global Circulation Models (GCMs). The metrological data from 12 locations were used for calibration of Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS). The historical record of 10 years was used for both temperatures and rainfall data which represent a period of 2010 to 2019. The future climate projections were made for 2041 to 2060 centered in the 2050s under RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 emission scenarios. The spatial analysis was conducted using the Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) tool in an ArcGIS environment. The result shows that the temperature of Kano has increased relative to baseline condition by 1.025oC (2.45%) and 4.6 oC (10.98%) under RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 scenarios respectively. However, the annual rainfall was found to decrease from the historical amount by -37.9 mm (5%), and -68.2 mm (9%) under RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 emission scenarios. Moreover, the spatial analysis indicated that there was climate variability across the width and breadth of the state. The study concludes that the climate change effect will cause the temperature of Kano to rise considerably in the future with the consequences of decreased rainfall amount. The findings recommend that policymakers should deploy adaptation strategies to reduce the adverse effects that might be experienced.

Impacts of climate change–simulated flooding and drought events–on terrestrial invertebrates (Enchytraeids and Collembolans)

Impacts of soil moisture levels from 10% to 100% on two soil invertebrates.E. crypticus and F. Candida survived at extreme scenarios (10% and 100%).For both species, reproduction was severely reduced in extreme scenarios.Higher adaptative phenotypic plasticity for F. Candida compared to E. crypticus.Knowledge on impacts of climate change on soil invertebrate communities is scarce. Amongst the biggest challenges are the increase in temperature and arid regions, while at the same time, in other parts of the planet, extreme precipitation events and flooding occur. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impacts of drought and flooding in soil invertebrates. Enchytraeus crypticus and Folsomia candida, model ecotoxicology test-species (OECD) were used to assess performance (survival, reproduction, size) in LUFA 2.2 soil moistened to 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% of the soil water holding capacity (WHC). Overall, both species had high tolerance for drought and flooding scenarios, with survival threshold for E. crypticus being between 10% and 90% moisture and for F. candida being between 10% and 100% moisture. Reproduction decreased from moisture ⩽ 30% and >70% moisture. In drought there was a decrease on adults’ size, for both species from ⩽ 30% moisture. The morphological adaptations observed support evidence of adaptative phenotypic plasticity for both species, but highest for F. candida. A redistribution of soil invertebrate species can be expected to occur, this under the present and future climate change scenarios, with new and more tolerant species to prevail in different habitats. This will impact not only soil biodiversity structure, but also its function.

Developing oral communication skill in Bangladesh

Competency in Oral Communication has become the most spoken issue of Bangladesh in the recent years (Brunfaut, T., & Green, R., 2017). English Language is no more the communication medium for the English only; it has achieved the status of the official or the dominant language for above two billion people in more than 60 countries. In a short period of time, English received a wide geographical coverage and become one of the leading means of communication. In line with the present competitive world, Bangladesh is not an exception. In the country, English continues its domination and expansion as the highly demandable and an inevitable language. People who have a very sound communication skill in English, especially of spoken English, are in the triumphant march. However, the way of increasing this oral communicative competence for the students of Bangladesh, is indeed a very crucial and burning issue. Despite acknowledging the great importance of this language, our students have not reached to that required level. Only ‘mutual intelligibility’ or ‘mere communication through English’ cannot be considered as competency in speaking. Even the students entering the tertiary level have a very poor knowledge in English Language. This paper, therefore, goes through the present scenario of communicative skill especially speaking skill of today’s students and the existing methods of developing this oral communication skill in Bangladesh. In doing so, the researcher collected survey data from 50 students and 10 Teachers from 3 different schools of different geographical locations, data from 30 students’ and 6 teachers’ interviews. Significant innovations are also found from the practical observations of 3 English language classes of three different institutions. The paper, thus, attempts to diagnose the reasons behind the students’ incompetency, and to propose some new strategies to overcome the language barriers.

Latin America: A hub for agrobiotechnological innovations.

Modern biotechnology is one of the last century's major advances in human science. Particularly in the agronomical field, the landscape of crop improvement technologies has witnessed a great expansion, driven by the integration of molecular and genetic engineering methodologies into the breeding toolbox. Latin America (LATAM) serves as a pioneering region in incorporating such techniques with several countries swiftly embracing these technologies. This review aims to give a comprehensive overview of the elements that influenced agrobiotech acceptance in LATAM countries and how such cases could provide support for upcoming technologies to be considered worldwide. Nearly 50 years of biotech breakthroughs have provided humankind with an impressive portfolio of tools already integrated into several life-sciences areas. The agronomical field has greatly progressed thanks to technologies derived from Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and high promises are being made to also incorporate genome -editing products. LATAM's case is a prime example of how early introduction of novelties in the crop production chain can result in improved yields, paving the way for future developments to be easily integrated into the technological ecosystem of a region. The example set by LATAM can also be useful for the present gene-editing regulatory scenario. With several countries presently on the path to approving these methods in their current crop systems, basing their next steps on the southern continent's example, could represent a safe and practical pathway towards a new agronomical revolution.

Mixture reliability analysis of a product consisting of new and remanufactured components

PurposeThe rapid increase in importance of the remanufacturing operation in the present scenario is just because of its ability to retrieve the functional value of the End-of-Use or End-of-Life products which is as good as the original product. However, customers are still concerned about the reliability of the remanufactured product which is considered as one of the major problems in the area of remanufacturing. The purpose of this paper is to study and analyse the behavioural pattern of the mixture failure rate of a remanufactured product.Design/methodology/approachIn order to analyse the behavioural pattern of the mixture failure rate, different proportions of new and remanufactured products are mixed. In this paper, a two-parameter Weibull distribution is used to observe the mixture failure rate characteristics. Also, the mixture failure rate of the remanufactured product is evaluated under two conditions, that is when the shape parameter of new and remanufactured components is the same and when the shape parameter values are different.FindingsFrom the analysis, it is observed that the mixture failure rate is always decreasing in nature when the shape parameter values are same. In that case, the value of the mixture failure rate depends only on the proportion of the new components. When the shape parameter values are different, the mixture failure rate characteristics depend upon the shape parameter value of the remanufactured product.Originality/valueThe results of the research can be applied to any remanufactured automotive product. This study also shows the behavioural characteristics of the mixture failure rate of a remanufactured product at different mixture proportions.

Yoga Education in the 21st Century: A Comprehensive Exploration of its Significance, Effect, and Connectivity in Modern Societal Contexts

Abstract: This paper aims to present a theoretical model based on a synthesis of ancient knowledge and contemporary research, as well as to argue for the integration of yoga with education in the present educational system. Resilience and overall well-being have become increasingly important in today's hectic and demanding environment. This abstract explores the value of yoga instruction as a transforming tool for dealing with the various issues people encounter nowadays. Yoga is an age-old Indian discipline that combines physical postures called asanas, breathing exercises called pranayama, meditation, and moral teachings to bring the mind, body, and spirit into balance. Regular yoga practice provides many physical, mental, and emotional benefits that have been confirmed by scientific studies. With the current state of affairs marked by high levels of stress, sedentary lifestyles, and rising mental health problems, it is essential to integrate yoga instruction into regular classroom instruction. This abstract explores how yoga's focus on self-awareness, stress reduction, and mindfulness corresponds with the modern world's need for coping strategies against life's stresses. The abstract also looks at how yoga instruction might help people develop resilience, emotional intelligence, and a positive outlook. The practice is a flexible strategy for improving general well-being because it may be applied to different age groups and fitness levels. A proactive approach to addressing the growing health concerns and fostering a culture of self-care is the incorporation of yoga into educational curricula, businesses, and healthcare systems. Additionally, by highlighting the preventative qualities of yoga in healthcare, the abstract underlines the social and economic advantages connected to a population that is healthier and more robust. The way this work compares and contrasts the results-driven current research with the process-driven old knowledge makes it special. This makes it possible to develop a more thorough theoretical model of yoga in education in the present scenario.
