IoT Based E-Waste Facility Locator
The escalating concern of digital waste (e-waste) prompts the immediate demand for an ingenious service, plus the IoT-based e-waste administration system offers a substantial improvement in resolving this expanding worry. E-waste, filled with harmful products poses considerable ecological as well as health and wellness dangers when poorly handled. To tackle this issue the system utilizes innovative formulas such as artificial intelligence as well as anticipating analytics to procedure information from ultrasonic sensing units released in e-waste collection containers. These formulas allow real-time tracking of container fill degrees, permitting waste administration authorities to intend collections exactly. By maximizing hills plus source allotment with the main cloud system, the system not only lowers the threat of overrunning containers but likewise reduces unneeded waste collection lorry journeys therefore lowering gas intake together with greenhouse gas exhausts. This detailed method not only boosts the logistical facets of e-waste administration but also cultivates openness and responsibility, making it a useful payment to worldwide initiatives in advertising accountability as well as lasting e-waste disposal techniques.

Strengthening Cybersecurity in Indian Healthcare – Lessons from the Recent Ransomware Attacks on Hospitals
The recent rise in ransomware attacks against healthcare institutions highlights some critical gaps in global cyber security, but most notably in India. More and more reliant on digital systems, Indian hospitals are now becoming hot targets for attackers. Attacks reveal vulnerabilities in data security and continuity of operations and financial integrity. It is a comparative study of repeated vulnerabilities in health care information security based on a thorough analysis of existing previous research on ransomware attacks-from both Indian and international contexts. Periodicals disclose similar themes: continued usage of antiquated infrastructure, inadequate investment in cyber security resources, and failure to prepare for incident response. Through such synthesis, this study propounds that what is articulated aptly in the Indian context could be reaffirmed by a multi-layered approach at cyber security, including zero-trust frameworks, encryption protocols, and very much more collaboration between the public and private sectors. Therefore, these strategic suggestions must aid in growing resilience and capacity to confront and counter potential attackers so that this health care system protects sensitive information and delivers all critical services with advances in cyber attacks. Thus, for a strategic stake in safety, this paper recommends a multi-layer approach towards cyber security in Indian healthcare. This will make an attempt at ascertaining insights from various international best practices in reforms that go beyond changing regulations and law enforcement while incorporating technological innovations. Instead, such recommendations would include AI-based threat detection systems, zero-trust architecture, and powerful incident response plans. Main research areas identified are workforce training, stakeholder collaborations, and government-led initiatives in the enforcement of cyber security standards. Following lessons learned from the recent ransomware attacks, this paper suggests a roadmap for the betterment of Indian healthcare institutions toward more resilient cyber security frameworks that can protect it better against emerging cyber threats in the future.
