    21st Century HRD Issues - Challenges for the Future
    (WeSchool, 2013-03) Rao, P S; Salunkhe, Uday
    Organization cannot service beyond a point unless they are continuously alert to the changing environment and continuously prepare their employees to meet the challenges and have an impact on the environment. Thus HRD is an essential process for organization survival and growth. An optimal level of "Developmental Climate" is essential for facilitating HRD. In much of Indian industry, the work ethos today is a hangover of our colonial Past. It is estimated that, on an average, as much as 30 to 40% of a manager's time is spent on resolving IR related issues which results in go-slow, strikes, lock-outs. Fortunately, there is a growing awareness in Indian industry of the importance of human resources development. As the term suggests, the focus should be on development rather than control. The development, in turn, must take the form of an integrated approach and not merely look at any single facet out of context. An effective HRD system is perhaps the most important element in organizational effectiveness which not only ensures present performance but also long term survival and growth of the organization. In this paper the attempt has been made to focus on issues and challenges which will be faced by the HRD managers in 21st century along with the learning systems that the HRD manager should establish and monitor for the betterment of the employees.

    A survey was conducted in Vasai, Dahanu and Palghar talukas of Thane district of Maharashtra state to understand the management problems in production and marketing of agricultural produce. Yield level of cash crops such as vegetables was found to be satisfactory. In majority, farmers get inputs in time with special efforts by respective farmer societies. Use of organic amendments for soil health improvement was another common feature. Lack of storage and transport facilities, limited market awareness, distantly placed APMC and need of efficient mechanism for ToT (Transfer of technology) to increase adoption levels in farmers are major limitations in present scenario.

    Balance of Payment Crisis in India– What the Figures Say: a research study
    (2013-10-01) Mathew, Jain; Vijaykumar, N V; Jacob, Eby
    The Balance of Payment position of India has been making headline news regularly in the recent past. There has been a large scale criticism of the general handling of the economic policies of the country and more specifically the halt in the advancement of the reform process. It is in this back drop that we felt that it would be relevant to see the issue from a historical perspective. 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.

    (ESS and ESS Research Publications, 2015-04) Kelkar, Sandeep
    Cloud computing is a model for providing computing service such as storage, servers, services and applications, without physically acquiring them via the internet. 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. This research paper analyse the challenges which are present in cloud computing and best practices by service providers.

    A Contemporary Rural Health Care: model for India
    (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. The article tries to review certain requirements of primary health care in rural sectors and identifies contemporary ways to handle these issues.

    (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. It is accepted that, to fight the social evils that have gripped our country, social advertising is the most powerful tool which can reach the masses. 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.

    Technology offers many advantages then disadvantages. It has made our life easy, simple, comfortable and even luxurious.

    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.
