Although punishments are different from ancient to modern society, various crimes and offenses were still punishable in the ancient period. Manusmriti is one of the oldest pieces of literatures to give evidence that the penal system was also in existence, and the ruler of that dynasty had to follow the system of Penology.

The system is fiercely competitive at all stages, partly but not entirely because clothing is a fashion good. Although some garments may seem to be little affected by fashion, their production and distribution are highly competitive. Fashion design had come a long way from the days when every level of the design process had to be completed by hand. Fashion software or computer-aided design (CAD) software is used in virtually every design house today. In the present work, motifs have been generated by the use of CorelDraw (2D) software.

Profit maximization is no longer the primary goal of companies. As a result of the turn of events, businesses are being pushed to invest more heavily in a wide range of social responsibility activities, shifting their corporate goals away from maximizing shareholder value and toward the well-being of all stakeholders. Using a survey tool, the current study reveals significant CSR aspects that may influence commercial and strategic decisions for Indian firms.

In the self-help groups, the members share a common problem and work for a common purpose. In India, at least more than half of the population lives in rural areas. So, we can ultimately say that if the rural areas, i.e. the villages, are developed, it will lead to the country’s development. Thus, rural people must be employed, earn their livelihood, and contribute a bit to the national income. In Assam, the State Institute of Rural Development (SIRD), situated in the Khanapara area of Guwahati, is the most important institute who looks after and is engaged in developing the Self-help Groups in the rural area with the help of providing various training and awareness program. In India, almost more than 60% of the Indian population cannot get formal financial services. Women’s self-help movement has emerged as an important strategy for achieving financial inclusion, contributing to inclusive growth, and generating social capital in providing the most effective financial inclusion instrument. SHG’s play a vital role in developing the rural areas and uplift the livelihood of the rural people. They mainly work by collecting funds from the group members, utilizing them for various productive purposes, and lending them to others who need them. The present study is done by the researcher mainly to study the role and importance of SHG’s in the economic development of the rural areas of Assam and to know about the government initiatives in promoting the SHG’s for rural livelihood.

Today’s women are playing various crucial roles in different sectors of economy as well as in their day-to-day life. They are likely to manage multiple roles at the same time. Roles like looking after the family and children, managing professional responsibilities etc. However, the primary expected responsibility of the women is to manage home while working. Nevertheless, the major problems for working women arise from balancing responsibilities of both work life and personal life simultaneously. It is also perceived that failure in any role would lead her to social disapproval and rejection. When women step out from her home to work, she is likely to have mixed experiences. While the standard of living may improve, they are also likely to face greater demands from their roles, whether professional or personal. This may cause a considerable amount of stress and strain to her, which also affects her professional and family life and sometimes affects her mental and physical health. The present study attempts to answer a few questions regarding working women and their multiple roles. The study is completely based on secondary data. With this study, an attempt is made to give a better understanding of the different roles played by women, how it is difficult for women to juggle between different roles, and lastly, how these roles affect the career-related decisions of women.
