Title: Hydrogen Peroxide: Poverty Implications on Green and Renewable Energy-Related Financial Literacy in Mexico and Bangladesh

Abstract: This comprehensive research examines the intricate and multifaceted relationship between financial literacy in green energy and entrenched poverty in Mexico and Bangladesh. It explores how systemic socioeconomic barriers fundamentally constrain accessibility to renewable energy technologies and associated financial services. Employing a robust mixed-methods strategy—integrating quantitative econometric analysis, qualitative evaluation of national policy frameworks, and advanced time series diagnostics—this study demonstrates that poverty generates multi-dimensional impediments to renewable energy uptake. These impediments include severely restricted access to tailored financial products, a profound lack of comprehension regarding green financing mechanisms, and deficient technical know-how. The findings reveal that both Mexico's ambitious goal of generating 35% of its electricity from clean sources by 2024 and Bangladesh's targets of 10% renewable energy by 2025 and 40% by 2041 are critically hindered within impoverished communities. In these contexts, financial literacy rates exhibit a strong negative correlation with poverty indices. Furthermore, the study employs unit root (ADF, KPSS, PP) and cointegration (Johansen) tests to analyze temporal trends, revealing the non-stationary nature of key variables like energy poverty and identifying long-run equilibrium between financial inclusion and technology adoption. The results provide critical, policy-relevant insights into how socioeconomic determinants shape energy transition dynamics in emerging economies, offering evidence-based recommendations for designing interventions that promote equitable and inclusive access to renewable energy technologies. The application of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 as a clean energy carrier has significant implications for financial literacy related to green and renewable energy, especially in countries like Mexico and Bangladesh. This comparative analysis seeks to explore how the adoption of H2O2 technology can enhance financial understanding and decision-making in impoverished communities.

Title: Attitudinal and Contextual Barriers to Green Product Adoption among Educators and Administration: A Case Study of Educational Institutions in Meerut

Abstract: This study investigates the perceived barriers hindering the adoption of green products within the educational ecosystem of Meerut, India, specifically adopting an institutional perspective. Recognizing educational institutions as crucial agents for promoting sustainability, the research aims to identify the structural, procedural, and normative impediments faced by schools, colleges, and universities in transitioning towards environmentally preferable goods and services. Utilizing a qualitative approach, data was gathered from secondary sources, through online mode and focus group discussions with key institutional stakeholders, including administrators, and faculty members in Meerut. The analysis reveals a complex interplay of perceived barriers operating at multiple institutional levels. Key impediments identified include: 1) Economic Constraints: Predominant concerns regarding the higher initial costs, green products and stringent, inflexible budgetary allocations; 2) Structural & Procedural Hurdles: Lack of clear institutional green procurement policies, cumbersome bureaucratic approval processes, and limited access to reliable suppliers/vendors offering certified green alternatives; 3) Behavioral & Awareness Factors: Insufficient institutional commitment and leadership prioritization, resistance to changing established procurement habits, and a lack of awareness or training among institution stakeholders regarding the benefits and availability of green options. The findings emphasize that overcoming these barriers requires targeted intervention sat the institutional level, including the formulation of supportive green procurement policies, dedicated budgetary provisions, streamlined processes, capacity building, and fostering a stronger organizational culture of sustainability.

Title: Impact of Global Economic Uncertainty on the Financial Performance of the National Stock Exchange (NSE): A Study from 2021–2025

Abstract: The National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India plays a crucial role in trading stocks, derivatives, and debt instruments. Between 2021 and 2025, global economic uncertainty, driven by pandemic effects, fluctuating interest rates, geopolitical conflicts, and shifts in capital movements, significantly impacted financial markets, including the NSE. This research investigates how challenges like post-pandemic recovery, changes in foreign investment, and tightening monetary policies affected the NSE’s income and trading activity. By analysing secondary data from financial statements and economic reports, the study evaluates trends in revenue, net profits, and trading volumes. Increased global uncertainty led to market volatility and corrections in equity indices. Despite these challenges, the NSE's robust domestic investor base and diversified revenue helped mitigate adverse effects. The findings highlight the importance of adaptive risk management and regulatory consistency in maintaining financial performance during global instability.

Title: Redefining Trade Relations: The Effect of Atmanirbhar Bharat on India’s Imports and Exports with China

Abstract: This research explores the impact of India's Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) policy on its trade relations with China, emphasising their role in global supply chains. It analyses changes in trade patterns, import dependency, export results, and sectoral shifts since the policy's 2020 implementation. By combining quantitative data with qualitative evaluations, the study reveals that the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative has introduced strategic measures for import substitution, supply chain diversification, and domestic industry support, focusing on enhancing local manufacturing, technological innovation, and entrepreneurship. The study highlights India's structural trade imbalances with China, driven by its significant demand for intermediate goods and capital equipment crucial for manufacturing. This dependence poses challenges to India's self-reliance and complicates trade relations in a globalised economy. The paper offers policy recommendations to enhance trade resilience and competitiveness against Chinese imports, including investing in infrastructure, promoting research and development, and forming strategic international partnerships to mitigate trade imbalances and support sustainable growth.
