Description
In recent years, the rapid advancement of technology—particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital innovations—has fundamentally transformed every dimension of human society. These developments have not only reshaped our economies and lifestyles but have also raised critical ethical, environmental, and sociological questions. This edited volume, brings together a diverse range of scholarly contributions that explore the intersections between technological progress, sustainable development, and social well-being. The chapters included in this volume reflect contributions from scholars and researchers across India, encompassing disciplines such as Sociology, History, Economics, Political Science, and Liberal Education. The themes range from the role of AI in everyday life and the impact of smart cities on environmental management, to localized frameworks of sustainability, the digital transformation of food systems, and the media’s influence on social awareness campaigns. Special emphasis is placed on how Artificial Intelligence and digital technologies can both aid and challenge the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Simultaneously, the ethical frameworks surrounding these innovations are explored to ensure technology serves humanity without compromising core societal values. This book also examines grassroots realities and region-specific concerns—such as sustainable practices in Assam, the digitalization of India’s organic food sector, and menstrual taboos across cultures—providing an inclusive and grounded understanding of the diverse sociocultural contexts in which sustainability must be achieved. I hope that this volume serves not only as a valuable academic resource but also as a catalyst for interdisciplinary dialogue and policy innovation. It is my belief that such collaborative and ethical inquiry is essential to building a more just, equitable, and sustainable society in the face of the 21st century’s challenges. I am grateful to all the contributors who have enriched this volume with their research and insights. Their dedication to critical inquiry and commitment to social change is what makes this collection both timely and transformative.
