Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to estimate total emission during idling of vehicles and validate emission results from real-world data.

Design/methodology/approach

Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES)2010b emission model is customised for developing country like India and a case study of the Ashram intersection in Delhi has been selected in order to measure the emissions of vehicles during idling.

Findings

Results show that 3.997 mg/m3 of hydrocarbon, 1.82 mg/m3 of NOx and 17.688 mg/m3 of carbon monoxide is emitted from the cars, trucks and buses, respectively, at Ashram intersection in one day. As there are 600 intersections throughout Delhi, a total of 2,398.055 mg/m3 of hydrocarbon, 1,087.068 mg/m3 of NOx and 10,612.612 mg/m3 of carbon monoxide is emitted from cars, trucks and buses in a day in all of Delhi.

Originality/value

Knowledge of idling emission and fuel loss is very little for Indian traffic condition during delays.

Abstract

Dark tourism is a place for tourists to travel to understand the deaths, suffering, and tragedy. Nowadays, movie makers have positioned dark tourism as a source of edutainment for society, contributing to the marketing of dark places. This type of education helps children to make associations between museum artifacts, memories, battles, and visitors’ lives. This study explores how movies have put forth on dark tourism and edutainment by involving audiences, especially students, through storytelling techniques. This research analyses the content of the Bollywood movie Bawaal (2023), which was based on education from the sites of World War II, a holocaust in Europe. Movies can improve students’ and children’s interest in history. There is a need to understand how movies are closely linked to dark tourism. The result shows that explaining dark tourist places is essential for the upcoming generation to maintain their connection with the world’s history. This study will spread consciousness about World War II or Holocaust places and help indirectly market dark tourism.

Abstract

Learning outcomes

After completion of the case study, students will be able to identify the traits required in child leadership and the ability to apply “The Whole Leadership Framework” child leadership model today, identify and discover opportunities to promote child leadership and analyse its sustainable impact and analyse how innovation clubbed with sustainability will create a competitive advantage with special reference to the innovative ultraviolet-C light sterilisation Suraksha Box.

Case overview/synopsis

Aditya Pachpande was a child prodigy of India, who had stunned the world with his trailblazing attitude ever since the tender age of 12. Aditya’s father, Sandeep Pachpande, a Harvard alumnus, wondered – “My son is ahead of his time. Would institutions ever acknowledge my innovative boy as a child leader? Will my child become a teen chief executive officer (CEO)? Will he ever get accepted?” Aditya leads by example as a student, changemaker, edupreneur, innovator and keynote speaker. He thinks, “Age is just a number”, but has had to shout out loud to be heard. With the nickname “Lecture man” given by his teachers and peers, he went on to contribute in endorsing skill-based experiential and discovery-based teaching-learning that addresses real-world issues and sustainable development goals. A CEO at the age of 11 years, he co-founded NextGenInnov8 Global Solutions Private Limited and NextGenInnov8 Social Foundation. Although achieving these milestones, he had to manoeuvre through several curve balls hurled at him by the system. Not the one to ever compromise on ethics, values and purpose, today he was at the crossroads – whether he should choose social change over-commercialisation of his business, simplicity and minimalism over product perfection, crowdfunding over loans or angel investors, manufacture in China or make in India just to name a few. The unstoppable Aditya, aspiring for acceptance, dreamt that someday, these policymakers and businesses would acknowledge child innovators and not write them off just because they were adolescents. Aditya, standing on a precipice, dreamt along.
