The present paper describes the strategy to mitigate and control epidemic contingencies in the backdrop of Kerala's Covid-19 containment plan. I have purposefully selected Kerala, the southernmost state of India, because of its globally acclaimed experience in efficiently managing the cases of coronavirus that were reported. Even tackling the Nipah and Zika virus cases in the pasts, makes it an exemplary unit of study. Moreover, the past experience of the state points to the fact that the containment strategy adopted is the result of an evolved practical approach. I came across certain innovative strategies implicating community mobilization like community kitchens, social surveillance, large scale production of face masks etc. by utilizing the hidden productive capacity of communities that extended from women self-help groups, youth clubs and even prison inmates. Moreover, the state's controlling and containing measures were mentioned by international media and agencies like the BBC and the World Health Organization (WHO).

This paper is based on a study which captures the formation of a genderinclined Government Information Communication Technology (ICT) programme of Kerala. Kerala is considered one of the most developed southern states of India, known for its unsurpassed place in various Human Development Indices. The study illustrates the targeted development of women through Kudumbasree, utilizing ICT as a priority for the achievement of sustainable development. The programme was named the Kudumbashree IT Enterprises (KITEs). The paper has also tried to elucidate the structural situations which prevailed in Kerala during the formation of KITEs. Data was collected from the 63 Kudumbashree IT enterprises in the state of Kerala. Group discussions were employed to generate data. The study is focussed around the only existing government ICT programme for women in Kerala known for its unprecedented schemes and innovative policies which led to a huge impact on the power of choice exercised by women during 1990s.

KITEs: The Case of First Women IT Micro Enterprises in Kerala.

In order to cope up with the increase in energy demand and decline in fossil fuels, it has become imperative to use renewable resources efficiently. Among these renewable resources, solar thermal energy is abundant in nature. Solar water heating systems are one of the most important applications of solar thermal energy. Providing internal fins to absorber tube is the technique to improve heat transfer augmentation. Hence in the present study, experiments were performed on solar flat plate collector with different cross section of absorber tubes (plain tube and internally grooved tubes with different helix angles) and by varying the mass flow rates of the working fluids. This study reports the experimental results of flat plate collector, where the working fluid is water and aqueous ethylene glycol (50 : 50). Temperature profile of grooved absorber tube will be compared with plain tube. Since conversion efficiency of solar devices is low, the present study mainly focuses on improving the efficiency of solar flat plate collector. © 2017, Allerton Press, Inc.

SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF EMPOWERMENT–A STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT ICT PROGRAMMES AMONGST WOMEN IN KERALA

The Kudumbashree project from Kerala (a state in the southern part of India) has been a much discussed case for the community of practitioners, policy makers, researchers working on technology, empowerment and development. It is built around three pillars of economic, social and womens empowerment. Its formation was the culmination of a process of community mobilization taken up by the State Government. But this article is focusing on the inclusion of gender in policies relating to information and communication technology with the aim of empowering women as users and producers of this technology. The prominent part of this investigation is the case study of Kudumbashree ICT enterprises in the State of Kerala to understand the factors that resulted in the working of these enterprises. Data were collected from Northern part of Kerala. Focus group discussions and interviews were the method employed to gather information.
