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: Impact Assessment of Rural Credit Mechanisms on Agricultural Growth and Livelihood Improvement

Abstract: Rural credit plays a crucial role in promoting agricultural growth and improving the livelihoods of rural households in developing economies, particularly in India. This research paper evaluates the impact of various rural credit mechanisms, including institutional finance, cooperative credit, microfinance, and government-sponsored schemes, on agricultural productivity and livelihood enhancement. Using secondary data from national surveys, published research, and policy documents, the study highlights how access to affordable and timely credit facilitates technological adoption, crop diversification, employment generation, income growth, and poverty reduction. The findings indicate that institutional credit significantly contributes to agricultural productivity and livelihood security. However, challenges such as regional imbalances, procedural complexities, and rising indebtedness remain. The study concludes with policy recommendations to strengthen rural credit delivery systems and ensure sustainable and inclusive rural development.

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.

Title: The Impact of Pawnbroking on Local Communities with special reference to Bangladesh

Abstract: This study examines pawnbroking's impact on social entrepreneurship and its implications for social development. It posits that Pawnbroking aids vulnerable entrepreneurs, often excluded from formal credit, in accessing quick financial resources, thereby enhancing social entrepreneurship. Through a meta-analysis and literature review, including three case studies from Bangladesh, the findings indicate that, despite exploitative practices, pawnshops are vital for providing the impoverished with financial access and supporting social welfare. However, risks such as asset loss, debt cycles, and exploitation of desperate borrowers are also highlighted. The study emphasizes the need for regulatory oversight and more accessible financial systems that protect borrowers while maintaining accessibility. Overall, pawnbroking offers both advantages and challenges for local communities in Bangladesh, necessitating a balance between quick cash access and consumer protections to promote healthier community dynamics.

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.
