Abstract- A lot of debate is going on about the importance of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the process of growth has been hot in a number of nations, including India. The foundation and prerequisite for economic development and growth is investment. In addition to a country’s foreign exchange reserves, other factors that are essential to its health include exports, government revenue, financial status, the amount of available domestic savings, and the volume and caliber of foreign investment. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of FDI on Indian Economy. To meet the objective of the study time series data is used 2005 to 2023. Variables used in the study are Foreign Direct Investment as dependent variable and Gross Domestic Capital Formation (GDCF), export, import, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Foreign Exchange Reserve (FER) and Wholesale Price Index (WPI)as independent variables. Techniques used in this study are descriptive test, correlation and regression analysis. FDI exhibits a positive correlation with variables such as GDCF (0.44), Export (0.38), Import (0.42), GDP (0.44), and FER (0.44). This implies that a 1% increase in FDI corresponds to a corresponding degree of change in other variables. The correlation between WPI and FDI is negative, or – 0.22, indicating that the two variables go in different directions. The study concluded that FDI statically significantly impact on Indian economy.
Efficiency of Pareto Optimality for Consumption and Production
Authors:-Pakhshan M R Palani, Ali jalal Hussen
Abstract- Pareto efficiency, or Pareto optimality, is an economic condition where possessions cannot be rearranged to make one specific better off without creating at least one individual worse off. In this paper, the main objective is to focus on the empirical implications of Pareto optimal provision of public goods and of competitive equilibrium with public goods. The data set to test the empirical implications does not require full information on individual private goods consumption, and only involves market prices, aggregate endowments and production, government tax revenue and individual incomes. The research is based on reviewing and analyzing 15 different articles in a variety of international peer reviewed journal. The overall results show that the Pareto principle in mathematical economy can be used to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for observable data to be consistent with Pareto optimal provision of public goods and competitive equilibrium with public goods, respectively. Furthermore, the research has confirmed that Pareto efficiency is occurring when an organisation or entrepreneurs has its resources and goods apportioned to the supreme level of efficiency, and no alteration can be made without creating someone worsened. The study recommends the business world, factory managers to adopt Pareto development trials, in which they relocate labor capitals to attempt to increase the output of gathering workers without say, declining the productivity of the stuffing and delivery workers.

It highlights optimization techniques, AI-assisted monitoring, and automation frameworks that improve execution efficiency while reducing latency. The review further explores the integration of AI-driven solutions that provide predictive insights, autonomous query optimization, and adaptive workload management. Case studies across finance, healthcare, retail, and government sectors illustrate practical applications, benefits, and limitations. Key challenges, including security, compliance, integration complexity, and cost considerations, are analyzed in depth. Future research opportunities include AI-driven autonomous optimization, security-aware models, edge-based query processing, and unified monitoring systems. The findings suggest that combining SOQL query tuning with AI-powered assistance in hybrid Unix environments creates a scalable, secure, and resilient framework for modern CRM performance optimization.
