Internet crimes against minors is a complex social emerging issue and a matter of concern that needs more attention from the government law enforcement agencies, legislators, parents, educators, intermediaries and over-the-top (OTT) platforms due to the massive increase in the usage of internet and mobile communication technologies. It is seen that relative ease in accessing media has led to an increase in online crimes against teenagers/adolescents having varied dimensions and impact on the victims. The study explores different forms of online crimes faced by teenagers through various online platforms, the potential offenders and the types of technologies deployed by them to commit crimes against minors. The article focuses on analysing existing laws and policies in India to combat cybercrimes against minors.

It was in January 2021 the free vaccination against COVID-19 commenced in India and the government urged all of its citizens to get vaccinated which was expected to be the largest vaccination program in the world. Out of the various COVID-19 vaccines that were under various stages of clinical trials in India, four were developed in the country. Covishield (the name employed in India for the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine) and Covaxin, the home-manufactured vaccine produced by Bharat Biotech had received approval from the Drug Controller of India. Indian manufacturers had stated that they can meet the country's future needs for COVID-19 vaccines. The manpower and cold-chain infrastructure established before the pandemic was sufficient for the initial vaccination of 30 million healthcare workers and was strengthened further to cater to the entire population subsequently. The Indian government had taken urgent measures to expand the country's vaccine manufacturing capacity and has also developed an efficient digital system to address and monitor all the aspects of vaccine administration. It brings in the sequential events in the battle against COVID-19 in India.

The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 have prompted governments all over the world to reform their development plans and match their national goals with the SDGs. Governments may work together to achieve sustainable development, and corporations and corporate social responsibility (CSR) can play a key role in achieving the SDGs. If implemented in its entirety, the recent legislative provision of a CSR mandate under the New Companies Act 2013 is likely to provide a sizable financial corpus for socio-economic and developmental initiatives. As a result, it is critical to raise knowledge of CSR among current and future generations in order to ensure that it is implemented effectively and that CSR funds are used wisely and appropriately. The purpose of this study was to look into the CSR orientation of business students who would be future managers and will play a key role in putting the CSR mandate into action. The study was conducted on 450 MBA 2nd-year students to see how they felt about the economic, legal, ethical, and discretionary components of CSR orientation. A total of 150 each from marketing management, finance management and human resource management students were chosen using a random stratified sampling approach and a descriptive survey method. The findings demonstrated that there is significant difference amongst marketing, finance and human resource management students. Marketing students were highly oriented towards the economical component, human resource students were highly oriented towards the ethical and discretionary components and finance students were more oriented towards legal and discretionary components of CSR orientation. The results pointed to the necessity for positive attitudes toward the CSR requirement, as well as interventions in business school curricula and training programmes to ensure successful CSR implementation and community benefit.
