ABSTRACT:
Climate change is not just an environmental concern; it is a social justice problem with deeply gendered consequences. Women, especially in vulnerable groups, are disproportionately impacted by climate change as a result of social, economic, and political disparities. Yet they are also central agents of sustainable solutions, actively influencing policies that enhance environmental resilience, equity, and justice. This study investigates the nexus of gender, climate change, and justice with a focus on the essential contributions of women to formulating and shaping sustainable policies at the local, national, and international levels. The investigation looks into how women are supporting climate governance by advocating for climate policies, engaging in grassroots movements, and leading environmental activism. It provides examples of successful female policymakers, indigenous communities, and climate activists who have integrated gender considerations into climate action. Besides, the paper also examines the hurdles of women gaining entry into decision-making forums in terms of structural gender discrimination, marginalization from leadership, and reduced access to funds and information and communication technologies.

ABSTRACT:
The protection and recognition of LGBTQIA+ rights are now a vital component of human rights discussion. LGBTQIA+ individuals have traditionally been subject to systematized discrimination, social stigmatization, and legal marginalization. This paper explores international conventions and national legal provisions that protect the rights of LGBTQIA+ individuals, as well as the social and legal frameworks that do so. In India, the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act 2019 is a big step towards inclusivity but has also been criticized on the lines of its implementation and sufficiency.

ABSTRACT:
Indian Depository Receipts: A Gateway to Global Investment in India: In an era of rapid globalization, financial markets have become increasingly integrated, allowing capital to flow across borders with unprecedented ease. Investors, whether institutional or retail, now seek exposure to a diverse array of opportunities, not just within their domestic markets but also internationally. This global appetite for cross-border investment has led to the creation of financial[1] instruments that facilitate such transactions while navigating the complex web of domestic regulations and foreign exchange controls. Among these, Depository Receipts (DRs) have emerged as a vital tool for enabling foreign companies to access new markets and for domestic investors to tap into international equities without leaving their own jurisdictions.

ABSTRACT:
Mutual funds have evolved into a key pillar of modern investing through a fascinating journey of growth fueled by collaboration and innovation. Early on, asset management companies, regulators, and investors each played a role that helped demystify the industry, turning a once arcane concept into an accessible instrument for wealth creation. Today, mutual funds aren’t just financial products—they’re an evolving narrative of trust, transparency, and opportunity.[1] Marketing strategies have been at the heart of this transformation. By crafting messages that resonate with everyday investors, industry players have widened their outreach into even the most geographically remote areas. Yet, despite these efforts, challenges persist. Retail penetration remains modest, and when you compare assets under management (AUM) to a country’s GDP—like in India—the potential for growth is strikingly clear. Macroeconomic conditions, fluctuating interest rates, business cycles, and even geopolitical tensions all contribute to the performance of these funds, underscoring the complex interplay between global events and local investment behaviour.

ABSTRACT:
This analysis evaluates the significant challenges India faces in changing its constitutional discrimination approach and judicial framework toward caste practices while demonstrating the difference between legal promises and real Dalit experience. Article 17’s abolition of untouchability has not stopped the judiciary from interpreting caste oppression in a restricted manner because it ignores structural and symbolic forms of discrimination. The evaluation challenges community-based SC identification processes because they establish unconstitutional social divisions within caste systems. The paper adopts Owen Fiss’s anti-discrimination and group-disadvantaging principles to support a transition toward substantive equality, which addresses both historical and systemic disadvantages.

ABSTRACT:
Meeting and usage data about energy consumption help sensors track operations, while workforce observations feed a system that promotes environmental practice in agri-based. The AI system receives this data input and then transforms it using NLP and prediction analysis while following an agent-based workflow design. The system checks if data handling follows GDPR standards and if production meets all safety and emission regulations to minimize the risk of law enforcement action. The AI system[1] creates live media content using its generation tools, which it distributes through blockchain to everyone openly. The system’s interactive dashboards help users get involved while bringing back investment through better resource use and safety compliance, combined with employee contentment and sustainable business practices enforced by proper laws.

AUTHOR’S NAME – Sumitra Devi.
AFFILIATION OF AUTHOR – Assistant Professor, Royal Global University, Guwahati.
Received on 15 April 2025, Accepted on 21 April 2025, Published on 29 April 2025
ABSTRACT:
The concept of legal personality is a fundamental concept of law dealing with the question of who can act and who can be the subject of rights and duties. The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has raised profound legal and ethical questions regarding the recognition of AI entities as legal persons. The traditional concept of legal personality, as defined under jurisprudence personhood, applies to human beings and certain entities like corporations capable of suing and being sued. However, the question of the application of legal personhood to AI introduces novel challenges and uncertainties that require careful consideration. In India, the legal development is towards accommodating science and technological innovations, and the question of whether AI should be granted legal personhood remains contentious in the absence of any specific legislation. In the Indian context, as laws and regulations strive to keep pace with technological advancements, the question of AI legal personhood remains untouched.
