This article addresses links between entrepreneurs' cultural and symbolic capital and their practices of knowledge generation for innovation. Through an ethnographic study of four Ayurvedic cosmetics manufacturing MSMEs in Mumbai, we argue that innovation in cosmetics MSMEs is the result of conversion of cultural capital into symbolic capital that in turn converts into economic capital. The study shows that Ayurveda knowledge resides in the entrepreneur's family tradition and mostly transfers in a tacit form. The entrepreneurs' acquisition of symbolic capital intertwines with the discourse of 'sustainable development', which makes 'natural' fashionable and 'traditional' knowledge prestigious. Within this discourse, Ayurveda knowledge acquires symbolic value which makes entrepreneurs' cultural knowledge valuable and legitimate. The analyses of representative cases show how cultural capital and symbolic capital impact acquisition of knowledge in ways that facilitate entrepreneurs to attain legitimacy through innovations. We argue that appropriation of different forms of capital by entrepreneurs reinforces the beauty field's normative structure which in turn facilitates knowledge generation for innovation in cosmetics MSMEs.

Digital Technologies which include Cloud Computing and Mobile Applications have emerged as catalysts for rapid economic growth and citizen empowerment across the globe. Digital technologies are being increasingly used by us in everyday lives from retail stores to government offices. They help us to connect with each other and also to share information on issues and concerns faced by us. Digital technologies is a platform where we can work on many fields and one such field is Digital locker. Digital Locker is one of the ambitious aspects of Digital India Programme. Digi locker is a system which secures the insecurities regarding losing the crucial data. Thus this paper takes an overview about what is all about Digital India with its nine pillars. Further this paper explain Digilocker i.e. digital locker concept with features, objectives of digital locker, analysis of the problem faced by the people & creating a Digilocker Account with example and application of e-documents in everyday lives.

The problem of forest conservation and protection can't be separated from the local people living in and around the villages of forests and forest dwellers itself too. Local communities have symbiotic relationship with forest and should be accepted as a partner in the forestry development efforts. JFM in India has emerged as an important intervention in the management of forest resources. This research paper attempts to analyse the impact of JFM and an attempt to forge a partnership between the forestry department and local communities based on common management objectives. JFM programme has been adopted by the Indian Government for the sustainable development of forests and betterment of livelihood of peoples living in and around the forest. Issues that are very useful and essential for successful implementation of JFM Programme in the forests areas have been discussed in this article.

In this paper, the design studies of the output system are carried out for a dual regime Gyrotron in the context of India's requirement of clean energy. This design study consists of a dimpled wall quasi-optical launcher (QOL) and RF window. After proper coupling of energy from beam to RF wave, the amplified wave need to be down-convert in a Gaussian-like beam (much simplified lower order). The launcher is designed with a commercial software LOT/Surf3d. This Gaussian-like mode coming out from the gyrotron vacuum system through the RF window is coupled to the corrugated waveguide using Matching Optic Unit (MOU) section. The complete design of the RF window is carried out using Gyrotron Design Suite Version 4.0 (GDSv4.0 2016).
