- Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT) is one of the leading institutions of national importance in technical education. Established with the objective of developing a ‘Centre of Excellence in Central India, it aims at becoming a multi-disciplinary centre for technical education by strengthening both teaching and research activities besides contributing to the needs of rural community, society and industry at large. This Institutional Digital Repository (IDR) has been developed jointly by the Central Computing Facility and Central Library for the institute. to the scholarly output of the institute. The core objective of the repository will be to collect, preserve and distribute of the scholarly contents and other institutional documents produced by MANIT Bhopal community members. All the contents may include, but is not limited to, copyright-compliant and will follow the strict gumlines of the policy formulated by the central library and will be subject to change in consent from the competent authority time to time.

Li-Fi for next generation wireless communication:
(IGI Global, 2025) Chauhan, Dipti; Jain, Jay Kumar
Li-Fi technology uses visible light communication for data transmission and has the potential to transform wireless communication. The benefits offered by this technology have the potential to transform wireless communication, many industries, and improve communication in both indoor and outdoor environment. It provides significantly faster speeds and has better security standards compared to Wi-Fi. In this chapter, the authors discuss significant developments in Li-Fi, such as compatibility with 5G networks, support of IoT, security and privacy concerns. They have also presented an in-depth analysis of Li-Fi, including its potential benefits and drawbacks, as well as its range limitations, interoperability issues, and cost implications. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview and contribute to the understanding and advancement of the technology by examining the basic ideas, technological advances, and issues of Li-Fi. The goal of this chapter is to improve the understanding and ability to use Li-Fi as a next generation technology in wireless communications.
Urbanization and energy:
(IGI Global, 2025) Das, Abhijeet; Gupta, Sandeep; Bhattacharya, Sumanta; Johri, Shiva; Selvakumar P.; Satyanarayana, Pamarthi
Urbanization and energy are intricately linked phenomena that shape the modern world. Urbanization, the process of population migration from rural to urban areas, has accelerated rapidly over the past century, driven by economic opportunities, technological advancements, and societal changes. This demographic shift has profound implications for energy consumption and sustainability. Cities, as the focal points of economic and social activity, are significant consumers of energy. The convergence of urban growth and energy demand underscores a complex nexus that influences environmental, economic, and social dynamics.The growth of urban areas often leads to increased energy needs due to the concentration of infrastructure, industries, transportation, and residential activities. Urban environments are characterized by high density, which necessitates substantial energy for heating, cooling, lighting, and powering various systems.
Effect of sand mixing on the geotechnical properties of black cotton soil
(CRC Press, 2025) Utkarsh; Jain P.K.; Saraogi, Anura
Black cotton soils exhibit high swelling and shrinkage characteristics, causing several challenges in civil engineering applications involving such soils. Stabilizing black cotton (BC) soil with sand as a sustainable engineering approach offers several advantages for soil improvement and environmental conservation. This study aimed to investigate the effect of mixing sand on some of the geotechnical properties of a BC soil. The soil samples were mixed with 10%, 20%, and 30% sand by weight and tested for sieve analysis, specific gravity, Atterberg limits, compaction, permeability, and swelling characteristics. The results showed that with increasing sand content, the specific gravity, liquid limit, and plasticity index of the soil decreased significantly. The plastic limit also decreased but to a lesser extent. The maximum dry density increased and optimum moisture content decreased with increasing sand percentage. The sand mixing improves the workability and strength characteristics of the expansive BC soil. Up to 30% sand mixing caused over 50% reduction in liquid limit and plasticity index. Around 70% reduction in swelling pressure was noticed with a noticeable increment in the permeability. The study demonstrates that sand mixing can be an effective ground improvement technique for BC soil.
Analysis and mapping of existing urban green spaces in the metropolitan city of Bengaluru by studying the change in land use and land cover and vegetation
(CRC, 2025) Bhattacharyya, Aditi; Munoth, Navneet
Cities will be home to 68% of the world's population by 2050, which is more than 2.5 billion people than there are now. Three out of every four people currently reside in metropolitan areas, and the effects of this are starting to become evident. What must we do to make our cities become livable communities when more people migrate into existing congested areas and our cities expand? A growing corpus of evidence suggests that we should be restoring nature. Making our cities more livable begins with meticulous planning that incorporates green spaces wherever feasible (Mair 2023).
