Shares provide ownership in companies and they are bought for trading purposes, while bonds carry the fixed interest payable every year by the company. Companies raising money for the first time by the issuance of shares are known as initial public offering (IPO) and those coming out subsequently again are known as follow on public offer (FPO). All IPOs, FPOs, bond issued by the companies are known as primary market operations.

The logic followed by the people for insurance products was that they should also give reasonable assured return besides the life cover to them.

Inflation is a rate of increase in the general-price index known as the wholesale price index (WPI) which is a weighted average-price index of a basket of six hundred and seventy-six critical items (earlier it was four hundred and thirty-five), which impacts the overall economy. It will have prices of steel, cement, food grains, etc. It is computed in Indian on a weekly basis in comparison to the corresponding week last year with reference to a base year (now 2004-2005 earlier it was 1993-1994) known as ‘headline inflation’ measured on an annual basis. Once rate of increase in price rise is more than the increase in income it begins to hurt, especially the poor who are hit the hardest. Essential items of consumption get out of reach of a majority of people. To maintain the same standards, living people have to spend more in inflationary period, very often they have to dip into their savings, Protracted periods of continuous inflation can damage the fabric of the economy and experience in the past has shown that inflation has led to the downfall of many governments in different countries. It is simply because demand is more than what is being supplied and accordingly could be demand-driven as demand-pull inflation or driven from the supply side as either as cost push inflation. However, in inflationary period both reinforce each other, difficult to distinguish which is the cause and which is the effect.

With the advent of the Europeans, Christianity also began to spread in Tamil Country in the Colonial Period. Many Christian organizations played a key role in spreading Christianity in different regions of the Tamil Country. Each organistaion concentrated in a particular region where the missionaries dedicated their lives. In this regard, organizations like CMS, LMS, SPCK, SPG , OTM rendered services among the people of Tamil Country. The role of German missionaries was remarkable as pioneers in spreading Christianity , next to the Jesuit Missionaries. The Paper attempts to highlight the role of Rev. Bernhard Schmid, a German missionary in preaching Christianity by founding Ootacamund Tamil Mission in Nilgiris and the spread of Christianity after his exit on health ground from Nilgiris. Even though the Ootacamund Tamil Mission failed to spread Christianity among the aborigines , it succeeded in spreading Christianity among the immigrants. This paper also prove that the Ootacamnd Tamil Mission was neither orgainsed by St. Stephen’s Church nor by the CMS. It was the brain child of Rev. Bernhard Schmid, a dedicated Germany missionary who filed to convert much aborigines but converted the immigrants especially the Depressed Class people in the Nilgiris.

Gender equality is considered a critical element in achieving social and institutional change that leads to sustainable development with equity and growth. Inequalities between men and women manifest themselves in all areas of development. Inequalities are most obvious in: health and education, economic development, violence against women, participation in public life and policymaking and social attitudes and gender stereotyping. Health discrimination against women in India starts early and is evident in the skewed sex ratio of 933 women to 1,000 men (world average: 990:1,000). Maternal mortality in India is the second highest in the world and close to 125,000 women die due to pregnancy and pregnancy-related illnesses every year. In rural areas, 60% of girls are married before the age of 18, and 60% of married girls bear children before they are 19. Almost one-third of babies are born with low birth weight because of poverty, early marriage, malnutrition and lack of healthcare during pregnancy. In the education sector, theinequalities observed are: Around 245 million Indian women cannot read or write and they form the world’s largest number of unlettered women. Female literacy is 54.16, and there are wide disparities within states. Enrolment and retention of girls in education is poor and the average years of schooling for girls is only 1.2 years as against 3.5 years for boys. Girls miss school because they have to look after siblings. A look at the economic development sector indicates that,official data does not reflect the amount of work that women actually do to enable their families to survive, collecting fuel, fodder or water, keeping poultry, working as unpaid labour on family farms. The present study analyses the gender gaps and lists out the strategies in the Twelth Five Year Plan of Government of India for women’s empowerment. The Twelfth Plan endeavours to increase women’s employability in the formal sector as well as their asset base. It aims to improve the conditions of self employed women with a focus on women’s workforce participation particularly in secondary and tertiary sectors, reaching out to women in agriculture and manufacturing, financial inclusion, and extending land and property rights to women. One of the major impediments affecting women’s participation in the workforce is the lack of skills. The Twelfth Plan envisages a majorscaling up of skill development to promote skill development of women from traditional skills to emerging skills, which help women break the gender stereotypes and move into employment requiring higher skill sets.

The town of Kanchipuram is well known as Silk City because almost of its population is dependent upon the silk industry. Skilled and semi-skilled weavers from neighbouring towns like Salem, Arani, Coimbatore and Kumbakonam are also involved in the production of silk sarees. India is the world’s second largest producer of silk, contributing roughly 18% of the total world production of silk. In India, silk production is concentrated mainly in South India. Kanchipuram is a significant producer of silk in South India. Initially, this industry was dominated by a handful of merchants who used to procure sarees from the local weavers and sell them. This system was disadvantageous to the weavers, who did not receive just compensation for their labour. In the year 1949, the first co-operative society of weavers was formed, called the Kamatchi Amman Society. This society consisted of 79 weavers, who were provided financial support and several other benefits. Over the course of time, more and more co-operative societies were formed. Today, there are about 24 co-operative societies, most of which are managed by the Tamilnadu government. Some of the reputed co-operative societies of weavers are the Kamatchi Amman Silk Society, Murugan Silk Society, Varadharaja Swamy Silk Society and others. The Kamatchi Amman Society now has about 2000 members and is one of the biggest. Totally, there are about 50000 weavers who work through various co-operative societies.

The energy efficiency and load balancing is one of the important considerable factor to extend the network performance in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), as it has constraint resources particularly battery and buffer. The routing protocols are used to enhance the network performance by extend the network lifetime, packet delivery and reduce the packet loss. Energy efficiency greatly affected by packet loss and overhead. In literature lot of routing protocols developed to address the energy efficiency. Out of these protocols, reactive energy aware routing protocol is more suitable in terms of small energy density. However these protocols reserve some nodes, which interns increase the load on that node, which leads to packet loss. Thus in this work we propose a hybrid routing protocols to select the path between communication entities. Routing path is selected based on the reactive status of node with respect to load and energy. Proposed routing protocol performance validated through simulation and compared with energy aware routing protocols in terms of packet delivery and network lifetime.

Gayatri Spivak joins abstract perusing and morals when she composes: On the off chance that he (Paul Wolfowitz) had genuine preparing in scholarly perusing or potentially the envisioning of the adversary as human, his situation on Iraq would not be so resolute (Spivak 2002: 23). The surmising here (as Dorothy J Hale notes) is that if Wolfowitz had studied English over political theory, he would have settled on morally unrivaled choices. Later scholarly ethicists have contended that it isnt just the particulars of the content, yet the perusing procedure itself that makes artistic books deserving of moral examination. Giving careful consideration to work by artistic ethicist Hale and narratologist James Phelan, this paper will look at new moral hypotheses of the novel to unload the question of regardless of whether the novel can rouse moral mores.

Industrialisation in developing economies plays a vital role in promoting aggregate economic growth and development. It involves basic changes in the manufacturing sector usually accompanied by technology modernisation, commodity diversification and economies of scale. The structural change towards heavy industrial commodity manufacturing not only brings in its wake accelerated rates of growth in the industrial output as per cent of the GDP of the nations but also, account for the improved quality of life of the people. The relative decline in the importance of the traditional Light industries in favor of the non-traditional Heavy industries, more often are explained in the empirical studies through such factors as the accumulation of capital, technical progress and human capital resource base on the one hand and the expanded domestic and international market for the manufactured goods on the other. They do not provide a systematic and comprehensive theoretical explanation of the dynamics involved in the long-run economic growth and the sectoral linkages. Industrial diversification measures, the extent by which the of industrialization acquires the capacity to manufacture diversified commodity output that could cater to the sophisticated input requirement of the industrial system as it moves towards achieving industrial maturity as well as meeting the material living standards of the people. In general, industrial diversification can be defined as the process of structural spread in the commodity manufacturing activity in a competitive market economy. Diversifications of industrial activity enable the system to move towards selfsufficiency and sustain the tempo of economic growth. Many of the earlier studies were concerned with the effects of product and firm-level diversification, rather than the broader concept of the structural diversification of the manufacturing sector at various levels in the value-adding process. The study aims at coherently integrating the structural change and diversification of the Indian industries in India during 1998 - 99 to 2013 -14.To estimate the extent of industrial diversification in the Indian Non-traditional industries employing Herfindahl Index and relate the findings with Macroeconomic policies and industrial growth. The estimation of industrial diversification at a micro level assumes importance because it has a direct implication on the antitrust policies formulated by the state. The level of industrial diversification has secured a slow growth rate during the period 1998-99 to 2007-08. The periods after 2007-08, the study observed the moderate level of diversification of industrial activities. This means the economic reforms have to be accelerated with the efforts to build facilities, infrastructure, and encouragement to embark on R & D programs, support services through industrial consultancy and engineering design services, project management services.

This paper examine the interdependence between stock market and domestic macroeconomic factors in India using monthly data provided by the Reserve Bank of India from April 1991 to April 2016. We employ VAR (1)-MGARCH (1, 1) BEKK model and conditional correlation plots to study these relationship. The first methodology help us to study three types of spillover namely mean, shock and volatility. We observed that there is spillover in mean between inflation and stock market implying that an increase in inflation reduces stock market return. The shock from real output affects every other sectors and inflation is affected by shocks from all the other sectors. We observed that there is bidirectional shock spillover between real output and money supply and between inflation and money supply. We also observed bidirectional volatility spillover between stock market and real output and between exchange rate and money supply.The Reserve Bank of India which control money supply has an important role to play as shocks from monetary sector affect industrial production and inflation.

In an environment of sweeping changes and the currently occurring demand for engineering education, one thing, that remains consistent all the while, is the demand for the top tier engineering colleges in the state. As a result of such heavy demand, the students, who eventually end up in these colleges, are with brilliant academic performances viz., a cut off above 195 out of 200. The performance of such students in the colleges varies depending on their emphasis on understanding the subject like Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Drawing, Engineering Graphics and Basic Science. But, more often than not the GPA, which is a parameter of technical knowledge, increases around the 5th and 6th semesters owing to its vital rolethat it may play in the placement season. The performance of such students depicts a different picture in the soft skills oriented tests. In one of the top tier engineering colleges, an online test has been conducted to analyse the soft skill level of the students and depending on the results of their test, a short term training programme has been offered to these students. At the end of this training programme, once again a test has been conducted and the results are studied. Thus, this paper aims to correlate the impact of the training programmewith the performance of the students and analyse the outcome. Suggestions and recommendations are offered depending upon the outcome.

As network will always be required for nodes to communicate, so these nodes are taking help of some type of medium that may be wired or wireless medium, depending upon the type of resources available with that network. MANET is a type of network that is infrastructure less network. It means that it does not require any specific infrastructure at the time of network establishment. As MANET is infrastructure less network so it is finding its applications in multiple areas like military, commercial, etc. But for communication, nodes need to be synchronized with each other for data transfer. This data transfer is only possible through routing protocols that may help nodes to communicate with each other either by submitting their request in advance or on demand at the time of usage only. MANET usually support three categories of communication protocols and these are reactive, proactive & hybrid. In this paper, clustering based routing protocols are discussed for establishing communication among nodes for the purpose of making this process easier and reliable. A number of such protocols exist with such nature and can be selected as well as used in some cluster formation process.

Financial ratios highlight the importance of effective management of an organization. Shortterm maturing obligations or not that can be easily known by applying liquidity ratios. At the same time, long-term solvency position can also be measured by the application of leverage or profitability ratios. It is an established practice for buyers to expect credit from sellers. This practice is forced upon the small industrialists by the large ones. A situation has developed in which buyers do not pay for fairly long and get away with it. Problems in ancillaries may arise when an attempt is made to compare the ratio of one business with those of other organization, and these could arise as a result of different accounting basis and the aftermath result could not be relied upon. Management policies and action could lead to high profit readings; comparison of such company with another could be misleading.

A comprehensive intervention strategy should aim to achieve the best possible overall outcome by minimizing disability and maximizing utilization of the persons existing ability and potential, preferably during the first year of life. To achieve this is a challenge which involves multiple disciplines. The members of the multidisciplinary team, the medical and the rehabilitation team with the family and child works together to promote a positive functional adaptation to impairment or disability in the context of the childs developmental progress with appropriate medical and rehabilitation services. Depending on the patients unique needs interventions are to be planned. Comprehensive intervention strategy focuses all the possible domains of development and functional skills. The planning of rehabilitation services for children is thus complicated and should be set with a long-term perspective. Successful therapy programs are individually tailored to meet the childs functional needs and should be comprehensive, coordinated, and integrated with educational and medical treatment plans, with consideration of the needs of parents and siblings. Therefore, whenever intervention guidelines are used in rehabilitation institutions, it is important to maintain a certain level of flexibility in service delivery, just in order to optimize the outcomes and customize it to the specific needs of the children. Some health conditions are chronic, and therefore, rehabilitation services may be required throughout a childs life. However, the rehabilitation field can vary accordingly. The rehabilitation therapies would be prescribed, emphasizing the evaluation and enhancement of the childs function and abilities and participation in age-appropriate life roles. Children with disabilities typically need many primary and subspecialty services, including various specialized therapies to maintain or improve their functioning. Problems that children with disabilities face include lack of adequate primary and preventive services, barriers to subspecialty care and specialized therapies, limited coordination of services, and uneven access to schools and other direct-service providers. It is essential to incorporate the family as the important role of this successful adaptation to the needs of the child, complementing and reinforcing the treatment in the management of the child at home.

Exploiting social media for marketing goods and services has come to stay in India. This is understandable considering the ever-rising mobile penetration in rural India and the ever-rising mobile user numbers. This contrasts starkly with the scepticism that emerged in some quarters when the mobile phones arrived in the country. Many doubted that rural India would welcome mobile penetration. However, recent history has proved them wrong. Doomsayers were proved wrong again when marketers began to market their products and services through the social media. Going by what is seen on the ground the marketers will ignore the social media at their own peril. Surprisingly, rural India too has been more than receptive to social media marketing. This study reveals that social media helps marketers improve their bottom lines provided they play fair . Additionally, it helps them cut costs and pass on the resultant benefit to the customers. However, grey areas in the regulatory regimeand customer naiveness may play the spoilsport for the stakeholder categories. They warrant that the marketers protect themselves against any adverse consequences. Aggressive social media marketing could prove counter-productive. To rein in such marketing, the regulator should mandate the marketers to adhere to privacy and transparency standards. On their part, the customers had better be careful about what they are walking into.

In this era of globalization and competition Quality management has become the key area for the organizations to survive and sustain.

The idea of Human Rights can be traced back to the Neanderthal man when human society came into existence. It can also be identified in the origin and development of Greek civilization and culture also. However the serious consideration of Human Rights appeared after the First World War and the Second World War when the military regimes started committing excesses against the innocent people and against the prisoners of War of the respective countries. ft may also be described that the aftermath of the two world wars compelled the people and awakened the humanitarian outlook in them that ill principle led to the formation and establishment of Human Rights in the world and so in India.

The governments both at the Centre and the States have been forcefully acquiring his land in the name of development. The compensation paid to him is not sufficient to purchase even a small piece of that acquired land and in many cases he is forced to become a landless labourer.

There is a positive side of the picture also. The land acquisition is essential for the development in the State. The benefits of land acquisition include development of infrastructure in the area and improved standards of life. The present paper gives an insight into these aspects.

Transmitting information on cattle production has rarely been a priority for centralised extension services in developing countries. National agricultural extension services are usually designed around the need to transmit information on annual crops, while cattle ministries and departments are dominated by vets and animal health concerns. Yet the potential for increasing cattle production through the provision of information is growing in many developing countries. This paper describes the context of that growth and looks at some of the ways in which cattle extension services and institutions differ. Future development in this field must build pragmatically on existing institutions, while attempting to respond flexibly and equitably to the needs of cattle producers.Choices can be made from a range of options for improving cattle production advice, depending on circumstances: links with agricultural extension services can be improved and crop/cattle information provision integrated at local level; links with veterinary services can be strengthened by providing production information from cattle health clinics or camps. In all cases, client-orientation needs to be stronger, with improved needs assessment and responsiveness to varied and changing farmer needs.
