When you lift a box from the floor and put it on an almirah the potential energy of the box increases, but there is no change in its kinetic energy. Is it a violation of conservation of energy?

System's energy is conserved when no external force is applied. Here external force has done work on the box to increase its potential energy. It is not a violation of conservation of energy.
