Focus of Budget 2018-19

http://www.jimsgn.org/ Focus of Budget 2018-19 The key focus of the Budget 2018-19 is on strengthening the rural economy and reviving up growth in the rural sector. To that end a slew of measures have been announced in the Budget which among other include higher MSPs for kharif crops, upgradation of rural haats to give farmers better access to formal mandi, increase in institutional farm credit, new funds for Fisheries and Animal Husbandry sectors, more fund for re-structured National Bamboo Mission fund, allocation for deprived irrigation districts, extension of the facility of Kisan Credit Cards to fisheries and animal husbandry farmers to help them meet their working capital needs. All these measures would transform rural India in a big way. For the benefit of lower and middle class the measures like increase in loans to Woman Self Help Groups, higher targets for Ujjwala, Saubhagya in providing free LPG connections, electricity and toilets have been announced.  These ...

Data Storytelling: Communicating Insights Effectively

Image
 In today’s data-driven world, it’s not enough to simply analyse data — you must also be able to communicate your findings in a way that resonates. This is where data storytelling plays a pivotal role. It is the art of combining data, visuals, and narrative to present insights in a meaningful, engaging, and actionable manner. Whether you're a data scientist, business analyst, or marketing strategist, mastering data storytelling can elevate your work and influence better decision-making. What is Data Storytelling? At its core, data storytelling is the practice of turning raw data into a compelling narrative. It goes beyond charts and dashboards, weaving together context, emotion, and insight to make the data understandable and impactful. A good data story answers the ā€œwhat,ā€ ā€œwhy,ā€ and ā€œso whatā€ — outlining not only what the data shows, but why it matters and what actions should be taken. Why Data Storytelling Matters In organizations, decisions are increasingly...

Career Paths in Computer Science: Exploring Options and Opportunities

  Computer Science (CS) is one of the most dynamic and expansive fields in today’s world, offering a wide range of career opportunities across industries. As technology continues to transform how we live and work, the demand for skilled professionals in computer science has grown significantly. Whether you're interested in programming, artificial intelligence, cyber security, or data science, a background in computer science opens the door to numerous rewarding career paths. 1. Software Development One of the most common career choices for computer science graduates is software development. Software developers design, code, test, and maintain applications for various platforms—web, desktop, and mobile. There are sub-specializations in this domain, such as front-end development (user interfaces), back-end development (server-side logic), and full-stack development (both front and back ends). These professionals are employed in almost every industry, from finance to healthcare to gam...

Ant Colony Optimization in Machine Learning

  Nature has long been a source of inspiration for problem-solving algorithms in computer science. One such biologically inspired algorithm is Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) , a technique based on the behavior of real ant colonies. ACO has become a popular metaheuristic in machine learning and artificial intelligence due to its ability to solve complex combinatorial optimization problems efficiently. 1. What is Ant Colony Optimization (ACO)? Ant Colony Optimization is a probabilistic technique developed by Marco Dorigo in the early 1990s. It is inspired by the foraging behavior of ants , particularly how they find the shortest paths between food sources and their nest using pheromone trails . Key Principles: Ants explore their environment randomly. When ants find food, they return to the colony, laying down pheromones on their path. Other ants are more likely to follow paths with stronger pheromone concentrations. Over time, shorter paths accumulate more pheromones because they a...
