Future Perspective of FDI in Insurance Sector in India
India’s insurance market has undergone numerous changes and is one of the fastest-growing markets today. The pandemic has sped up the industry’s rapid digitalization, reflected a rise in its demand, necessitated the development of new products, and more. Furthermore, the prospects show there have been disruptions owing to the extraneous factors that have led to the evolution of the industry itself. According to IRDAI, the sector has witnessed growth between 12 and 15 percent over a five- to six-year horizon.
India is a growing economy and attractive country to invest in different sectors, especially in its fast growing and developing insurance market. Indian insurance industry has a great growth potential. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays an important role in the economic development of any country. However, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is released in the insurance industry, and after a long debate finally the limit of FDI has been increased up to 49% in insurance sector. Due to economic liberalization started in 1990’s FDI in India continuously increasing and most of the global firms shown keen interest in investing in India. This paper’s objectives are to investigate the Indian insurance industry and review current policy and regulations with a viewpoint of foreign investors so as to gain an understanding of the current position on FDI and to know the future prospective of the same in India

Salem Meiyanur Mariamman Temple Worship and People's Faith
All living beings in the world live depending on nature, likewise earlier man also led a life in harmony with nature. Nature appeared as an enigma to man. Natural objects such as thunder, lightning, rain, flood, volcano, darkness and sun are mysterious and it instilled fear among man. Man, who fears about nature and its disasters starts worshiping them as gods. The worship that appeared in this way is based on faith and is common to all human beings. Even today people follow some rituals to preserve the cultural heritage of a country or race. Today, worship is a necessity of the political background and reflects as a part of the society. Rituals are used to symbolize a culture. Since these rituals are mostly followed in villages. People go to temple to worship God and to seek His blessings. There are many methods to be followed in organizing a temple but most of the minor deity temples are worshiped without building structure considering trees and black stones as their deities. The purpose of this article is to investigate the location of Meiyanur Mariamman Temple which is located in Salem district, the structure of the temple, about the deities located in the temple, the ceremonies held for the deities and the beliefs people have on the deities, and the debts which they pay to deities if their faith is fulfilled
Worship of Pavai in Sangam Literature
Paavai worship is one of the invisible ancient forms of worship recorded in Sangam literary works. The word paavai appears in 53 places in Sangam literature. paavai deity. Playing object, Painting, Sculpture, Plant, Eye, Woman, Koothu are handled in many objects. Here the word paavai is taken for study only in the sense of deity. This paavai worship can be classified into two as Kollimalai paavai worship and water god puppet worship. The paavai that freezes in the Kolli Hills is very devastating. Received divinity. Natural disasters like wind, rain, thunder, lightning, do not spoil the beauty of this mountain. That is why the Kollimalai paavai is called the Maya natural paavai. The deity is frozen in caves, ditches and rocks. Kollimalai paavai is the guardian deity who threatens and guards Condor in the Kolli Hills. Sangam poets have compared it to a Kollimalai paavai as a testament to the beauty of women. The next paavai worship is the water worship. Worship of the water god paavai took place in the early morning of the month of Tai, in the hope that a good husband would be obtained by worshiping the water god paavai, good rain, and the country would prosper
Image Quantification Learning Technique through Content based Image Retrieval
This paper proposes a Radial basis functionality incorporation in learning the quantification of images using Content based Image Retrieval (CBIR). The approach is trying to find out the effectiveness of Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) namely Radial Basis Function (RBF) through Content Based Image Retrieval. Extract the features of an image, the numeric values of each pixel is framed in to a definite input data set of image to that the neural networks MLP gives the accuracy of the prediction of that particular Image data set. This paper put forward us with new idea of neural networks structure efficiency in the accuracy of output data set which got increased by the adjustment of the weighted neurons through a Perceptron called Radial Basis Function promoting by applying k means clustering to form clusters which are parameterized with Gaussian function application. Finally compare the actual output with observed output promoting the weighted neurons adjustment for getting the actual accurate output. A new dimension, in work enhancement of neural networks technology with that of image processing
Feature Evolution using Factorization Methods in Multimodal Authentication � Smart Security Devices
Most of the industries and business organizations use various kinds of biometric patterns such as face, finger, palm, vein, skin surface, footprint and some structural parts of the human body and also to consider some video patterns of the stakeholder/customeras secure data for the customers /stakeholders in terms of authentication / verification / authorization/ recognition of traits and also use secure agents for the personal data as well as social/ business/ web/ banking transactions. Also, the government sector use the biometric patterns of stakeholders to claim the government policies, facilities and issue the authorized cards like aadhaar, driving license, passport, pancard etc.., for their needs. The stake holders would provide different patterns of his/ her poster as face, fingerprint, palm, vein, footprint, and/ or other structural patterns of the human body in terms of 2D and 3D patterns. In order to compute such patterns the extraction of features/ recognition of patterns is complex and NP-hard due to the representation of captured patterns with noise or acquisition of sensed data or noisy of sensing devices. To overcome such complexities the vector logic (cognitive logic) models for minimizing the noise and computations of best features for recognition of such patterns

ZINC AND CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTATION TO COMBAT CADMIUM INDUCED BIOACCUMULATION IN FRESH WATER TELEOST OREOCHROMIS MOSSAMBICUS (TILAPIA)
Objective: The present work was carried out to know the therapeutic role of zinc (Zn) and calcium (Ca) supplementation to combat cadmium (Cd) induced toxicity in selected tissues of freshwater teleost, Oreochromis mossambicus (Tilapia) exposed to Cd.Methods: The freshwater fish, Oreochromis mossambicus (Tilapia) was brought from the local ponds and were allowed for acclimatization to the laboratory conditions. After acclimatization, fishes were exposed to 1/10th of LC50/48 hr of Cd i.e.5 ppm for 7, 15 and 30days (d) long sojourn. After 15d Cd exposure, fish were divided into three groups. The 1st group was supplemented with Zn at a dose of 1 ppm; Group–II was supplemented with Ca at the dose of 1 ppm and Group–III received a combination of both Zn and Ca at the above said doses for 7, 15 and 30d. After specific time intervals, fish were sacrificed and liver, kidney, brain, gill and muscle tissues were isolated in ice cold conditions. Then the tissues were used for bioaccumulation studies.Results: A significant (P<0.05) elevation was observed in bioaccumulation levels during Cd exposure. The high amount of Cd accumulation was found in 30d Cd-exposed kidney (22.353±0.410 µg/g) followed by other tissues. After supplementation with Zn and Ca, Cd accumulation was progressively decreased in all the test tissues. The maximum percentage of Cd depletion was found in 30d Ca-supplemented muscle tissue.Conclusion: Our findings clearly envisage that the Zn and/or Ca supplementation is very effective in reducing the Cd toxicity in the teleostean fish, Oreochromis mossambicus
