Abstract: Selecting an appropriate research paradigm is one of the most challenging tasks for a researcher. This challenge becomes even more challenging in case a researcher decides to conduct qualitative research. Qualitative research is usually conducted to explore and understand the opinions of individuals or groups on a social problem. The data for qualitative research is usually collected by interaction among investigator and respondents and through different methods such as observations, interviews and document reviews. Considering the nature and process of qualitative research, it can be argued that constructivism, a theory that is based on observation and scientific study about how people learn, can be employed to decide research paradigm for qualitative research. In fact, understanding the importance and applicability of constructivism as a research paradigm in qualitative research becomes a righteous decision. Extending these observations, present paper describes the key aspects of constructivism and qualitative research, discusses the benefits of constructivism research paradigms, and details useful constructivist approaches for conducting qualitative educational researches. Keywords: Constructivist approaches, Constructivism, Qualitative research, Research paradigm.

Abstract: A new era has begun in the history of Social Security in India with the enactment of Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, during the very First Five Years Plan period. The institutionalized protective approach to social security has also begun with this act for the people who, in majority, were in private sector. The income security in event of fall in wage due to old age, retirement and other types of cessation of employment was the prime motto of this legislation. Provident Fund is a form of retirement benefit other than gratuity. In the provident fund scheme both the employees and employers share the burden of security or protection. Prior to this legislation there were legislations like Provident Funds Act, 1925 with a restricted application, Coal Mines Provident Funds and Bonus Scheme 1948 limited to coal miners.

Abstract: The social security schemes in India cover only a small segment of the organized work- force, which may be defined as workers who are having a direct regular employer–employee relationship within an organization. The social security legislations in India derive their strength and spirit from the Directive Principles of the State Policy as contained in the Constitution of India. These provide for mandatory social security benefits either solely at the cost of the employers or on the basis of joint contribution of the employers and the employees. While protective entitlements accrue to the employees, the responsibilities for compliance largely rest with the employers Keywords: daily life, social security, protective entitlements

Abstract: The proposed Consumer Protection Act 2019 also appears to be directed at changing the law in favour of consumers by increasing the list of causes-of-action set out under what constitutes a complaint. It has introduced ‘a claim for product liability action against the product manufacturers, product seller or product service provider’ and also widens the concept of purchase to include online transactions. Consumer rights have been defined for the first time and these now include the right to be protected against ‘marketing of goods, products or services which are hazardous to life and property’ as also ‘the right to be informed about the quality, quantity, potency, purity, standard and price of goods, products or services, as the case may be, so as to protect the consumer against unfair trade practices’ Keywords: Consumer Protection, marketing of goods, Essential Commodities Act

Abstract: Fruit and vegetable waste contains many sugars, fiber, and nutrients. These can be used by microbes to make valuable industrial tools called enzymes. This review looks at how we can turn fruit waste into enzymes through fermentation. It discusses the best waste mixtures, microbes, and setups to use. We look at major enzymes like pectinases, cellulases, amylases, xylanases, proteases, and lipases, and how they are used in food, detergents, clothes, and cleaning the environment. We also explain the difference between crude homemade "bio-enzymes" and scientifically tested enzymes. Finally, we look at how to collect, stabilize, and reuse these enzymes safely. Turning fruit waste into enzymes reduces pollution and creates useful products, supporting green chemistry and a circular economy. However, we still need standard recipes, better testing, and cost reviews before using them on a large scale.
