This study therefore traced the Balance of Payment position from 1951 with regard to some variables like exports, imports, current account deficit etc. We have also studied the contents of Balance of Payment under the various heads of account like Current account and Capital Account between the periods 2001 to 2012 in detail. Further we have endeavoured to investigate whether a relationship exists between some of the variables in the Balance of Payments like the flow of FDI and FPI, Private transfers and Bank’s external liabilities and between Capital and current account inflows.

Access to such service could be free or pay as per use. So that the organizations does not have to spent time and cost in managing them. Many business institutions are moving towards the cloud computing due to the efficiency of services and pay-per-use pattern. This pay-per-use pattern based on the resources consumption e.g. processing power, transactions carried out, bandwidth consumed, data transferred, or storage space occupied etc. In cloud computing the client data is maintained in the data centre of a cloud provider like Tata, Netmagic, Google, Amazon and Microsoft etc. Since the data is stored on Internet Cloud the user will have limited or no control over the data, which may lead to various security issues. Since the data custody is at data centre which could lead to threats such as data leakage, insecure interface, sharing of resources, d ata availability and inside attacks etc. There are various challenges for adopting cloud computing such as well managed service level agreement (SLA), Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (CIA). This research paper outlines cloud computing industry models and issues associated with it.

    (National Conference Technocrats Institute of Technology-MBA, Bhopal., 2011-05) Patil, Gouri
    Health care is the prime area of focus in Central government efforts at influencing public health, and this focus is expressive in all the eleven five-year plans, planned till date. The National health policy initiated by the parliament of India in 1983 and amended recently in 2002, endorses complete responsibility and jurisdiction of primary health care in rural India on the state and local governments. However, in all the five year plans central government is coordinative and planning with the state government on sponsoring major health programs for the rural and semi urban sectors across the country. Despite of serious efforts by the Government, there is a wide gap in demand and availability of primary health care services across the country and especially in rural sectors.

    (National Conference Technocrats Institute of Technology-MBA, Bhopal., 2011-05) Rao, P S; Swarnalata, T B
    Social Advertising is a subset of social marketing and is also a part of social responsibility. It is very commonly used by Government and NGOs for the purpose of bringing about a planned social change.

Most of the social advertising in India are the preserve of the Government. Directorate of Advertising and Visual Publicity (DAVP). With LPG, the role of government is shrinking in all sectors and the government is expected to be the facilitator. With this, the view that is accepted is governmental efforts alone are not sufficient to bring about a planned social change. The private sector companies are expected to compliment and supplement the government’s efforts in bringing about a planned social change. This research paper is an endeavour to find out the mindset of private sector corporations to accept their role in bringing about a social change through social advertising strategically.

    Critical Analysis of Health Insurance Portabililty in India
    (Acme Intellects Research Center, 2013-04) Kumar, Chitralekha; Phadnis, Gargi; Mulay, Rashmi
    The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) introduced health insurance portability with a view that the facility will serve its customers better, bringing about a revolutionary change in the health insurance sector through better product plans and improved competition. However, not many transactions have been seen. What could be the reason for the same? Should the sector and the regulator be blamed for the poor numbers benefiting from the scheme or should the implementation be made simpler and standardized? Present research is conducted by using both primary as well as secondary data. Also, an analysis of the mobile number portability was done. It was found that lack of awareness was a major reason for the less number of insurance switchovers. These bottlenecks need to be addressed so that the actual aim of serving the customer needs can be met through the implementation of this scheme.

    Dynamic Role of Management In Changing Business Environment
    (2010-01) Salunkhe, Uday
    We are living in a world of sweeping changes and swift movements. In every developing civilization a period comes when old instincts and habits prove inadequate to altered stimuli, and ancient institutions and moralities crack like hampering shells under the obstinate growth of life. The type of change which has been witnessed in the realm of business during the past two centuries since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution era in the West, is of such a fundamental character that it has materially altered the entire fabric of man’s way of life. While the Industrial Revolution, thus, has had its decisive impact on the environment, the latter too has reacted in turn by having its own influence felt on business. Recent times have witnessed a significant intensification of this two-way process in the corporate world with the emergence and dynamic role of management. From the point of view of business, it can be safely stated that the most serious problem that business everywhere faces today concerns the challenge of this rapidly changing environment. An attempt has been made in this paper to examine the emergence of management, management’s contribution to world economies, role of management in entrepreneurship, business growth and expansion in changing environmental variables and dynamic role of management to create a sustainable society in future.

Healthcare is the fastest growing sector, growing at the rate of 13%-15% p.a and is a Rs. 1,50,000 crores industry. No doubt we have high number of qualified doctors and para- medical staff. Somehow, rehabilitation, post hospital surgery and care has not been given the status it deserves.

    Health Management - A Review of the Emergent Functional Foods Market in India
    (Indira Institute of Management Pune, 2016) Mohanty, Ragini; Kalyandurgmath, Kavita
    Chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes with their complications are now striking at a younger age. Rapid urbanization and lifestyle changes are the main reasons for this emergence. The costs of healthcare are high. The regulators, professionals and consumers, alike, have realized a need for a strategic focus on disease prevention and health promotion. It is believed that major health gains can be achieved by incorporating behavioral and lifestyle changes, involving healthy food consumption practices with increased physical activity, mental & spiritual relaxation and cleaner environments. The food industry is expected to provide solutions and alternatives for health promotion and well-being. This paper attempts to study the emergence of the functional foods market in India. Literature review was done using secondary sources including published journals, industry reports, internet articles, conference proceedings, etc. The past few years have witnessed the emergence of the Fast Moving Healthcare Goods (FMHG) in India which is known as Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals worldwide. Functional foods are closing the distance whilst increasing the involvement and cooperation between the food and pharmaceutical manufacturers. The Indian Nutraceuticals market has accounted for only about 1% of the global Nutraceuticals market and has high potential for growth. India is anticipated to grow from its 12th position to emerge as the 5th largest consumer market in the world by 2025, with beverages and dairy as driving segments of this growth of functional foods. Given this opportunity, it is pertinent to promote Natural Indian foods with added health benefits along with the fortified and other Modified Functional foods with potential health benefits. The research findings revealed a nutrition status contrast in India, with a double burden of malnutrition, in the form of overweight and under-nutrition. Socio-economic dynamics, chronic diseases and behavioural changes have provided nutraceuticals market to emerge as a high potential market in India. Youngsters are willing to spend on health foods for health promotion and disease prevention, but beyond the lifestyleinduced nutrition deficiencies, there is also a need to target the avoidable burden of under-nutrition through affordable nutrition supplements, which calls for strategic innovative approach with collaborative partnerships to make available 'affordable, safe and nutritious functional foods' to the consumers.
