Title: Impact of Digital and Social Media Advertising on Millennial Consumers

Abstract: Generation Y, commonly identified as Millennials, comprises individuals born between 1981 and 1996. Characterized by profound digital immersion and technological proficiency, this cohort has been significantly influenced by the pervasive expansion of social media. Consequently, social media advertising has emerged as a formidable catalyst in shaping their purchase intentions, consumption patterns, and brand preferences. The present study investigates the multifaceted influence of social media advertising on the buying behaviour of Generation Y consumers within the contemporary digital marketplace. The findings unequivocally demonstrate that social media advertising exerts a profound influence on the lifestyle orientations, consumption behaviour, and purchase decision-making processes of Generation Y consumers. The ubiquitous proliferation of digital platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, and X (formerly Twitter) has fundamentally reconfigured the dynamics of consumer–brand interaction. By facilitating instantaneous access to comprehensive product information, authentic consumer reviews, algorithmically curated recommendations, and influencer-generated endorsements, social media advertising substantially shapes consumer perceptions, reinforces purchase intentions, and cultivates enduring brand predispositions within the contemporary digital ecosystem. The study further highlights that Generation Y consumers actively engage with digital content and rely heavily on online reviews and peer recommendations before making purchases. Businesses and marketers can therefore better understand consumer expectations and design effective advertising strategies to attract and retain this segment. The research concludes that social media advertising has become an essential marketing tool influencing Generation Y’s buying behaviour in the modern digital economy.

Title: Socioeconomic Impact of Migration in Rural &Urban Population of Rajasthan

Abstract: Rajasthan, India’s largest state by area, has historically been a major source of internal and international migration due to Agro-Climatic vulnerability, water scarcity and limited industrialization. This study evaluated the data of Census 2011.Periodic Laborer Force Survey (PLFS), 2022-23 and primary survey data from some districts and examines spatial patterns, drivers, and economic impacts of migration. Results show three dominant streams: rural-urban intra state to Jaipur-Kota, rural-rural to Punjab-Haryana-Gujrat for agriculture and construction, and rural metro cities for textiles and services. Remittances constitute 7.8% of Rajasthan’s GSDP reaching 18.2% in Barmer and 14.6% in Sikar. Districts level regression indicates that 1% rise in out migration increases per capita income by Rs 1840 but reduces food grain yield by 0.6% due to laborer loss. Migration reduces poverty by 4.2% in high out migration districts but creates skill deficit, elderly care burden, and agricultural fallow. The study concludes that migration is both a coping mechanism and a development lever, requiring a migration sensitive policy integrating skill hubs, portability of welfare and remittance investment channels.

Title: Impact of AI-Powered Personalized Learning on Self-Regulated Learning, Academic Engagement, and Learning Autonomy among Secondary School Students

Abstract: There have been numerous ways in which Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the educational process through its ability to deliver adaptive instruction, intelligent tutoring, feedback mechanisms, learning analytics, and learning through Generative AI. AI-driven personalized learning is able to provide personalized education for students, thus not only enhancing the academic achievements but also the processes involved in regulating and engaging in learning. Several studies have found that AI is able to facilitate self-regulated learning (SRL), depending on the technological design, instructional context, length of intervention and level of teacher and learner participation (Zhu & Sari, 2026; Xu et al., 2026). The current paper focuses on the possible effect of AI-driven personalized learning on three related learner outcomes including self-regulated learning, academic engagement, and learning autonomy among secondary school students. This research brings together international literature along with Indian literature such as Babbar, Raju and Kumari’s studies regarding Generative AI and Learning Efficiency in the Indian educational setting. The structured research approach and quantitative method are introduced, and then illustrated with statistical findings. The literature indicates that personalisation through AI can be effective in terms of helping learners to monitor and regulate their activities; however, it will not help in case the dependence on technology becomes too high and there is no pedagogical scaffolding present. That is why the paper concludes in favour of human-centered approach and AI as a tool rather than substitution of teachers and cognitive processes.

Title: Technology as a Catalyst for Global Change: Innovation, Equity, and Sustainable Transformation

Abstract: Technology has emerged as a transformative force shaping global development, social equity, and environmental sustainability. From artificial intelligence and digital health systems to renewable energy and smart infrastructure, technological innovation is redefining economies, governance, and human well-being. However, unequal access to digital resources, infrastructural disparities, and ethical challenges continue to widen global inequalities. This chapter explores how technology functions as a catalyst for global change by examining its role in innovation ecosystems, social inclusion, and sustainable development. It critically analyzes digital transformation across sectors such as healthcare, education, industry, and environmental management, while addressing issues of digital divide, data governance, and ethical responsibility. The chapter further aligns technological advancements with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), emphasizing inclusive innovation and policy-driven transformation. Through conceptual frameworks and global case illustrations, it proposes a balanced pathway that integrates innovation with equity and sustainability. Ultimately, the chapter argues that technology, when guided by ethical governance and inclusive policies, can serve as a powerful instrument for achieving resilient and sustainable global futures.
