Shukla “Children are mirror, who reflect the future image of a nation. If anybody wants to see the nation he should see its children.

It is multi-dimensional and multi-layered in nature. The phenomenon of child labour, like all other social phenomena, is historically and socio-economic conditioned. It is related to multiple issues and situations. It is both a cause and consequence of vulnerabilities— poverty, illiteracy and livelihood loss. Its emergence, growth and nature of dynamics are intrinsically bound with the changing trends in production and reproduction of a social matrix. Child labour has become a common feature of any third world countries to which India is not an exception and despite adequate efforts in the direction of relief and rehabilitation, the problem continues to grow in an alarming proportion.

Chansoria Entrepreneur is one who innovates, organizes, manages and assumes the risk of an enterprise and acts as a catalytic agent in growth process. When an enterprise is established and controlled by a woman, it not only boosts economic growth but also has many desirable socioeconomic outcomes. Swami Vivekananda had once remarked “There is no change for the welfare of the world unless te condition of women is improved, is it possible for a bird to fly on one wing.” Women have innate flair for entrepreneruship.

This calls for concerted efforts to promote their role in entrepreneurial activities so that they can contribute to the growth process of te nation. Growth of women entrepreneur can go a long way in bridging the gap in gender inequalities in our country.

It is hoped that the book will be highly useful to students, scholars, professors, planners and policy makers. ..more  Price: Rs. 395.00  Buy Now Leadership, Poverty and Social Security T.

Gopinandhan Pillai India had reached a turning point in its long and arduous struggle for socio-economic development. In the 21st century India continues to live in villages. This make it obvious that any process of planning and development in India can hardly succeed without transferring its rural society. The approach to successive five year plans envisages ‘growth, equity, social justice, self-reliance, improved efficiency and productivity as its guiding principles. As a strategy to achieve these objectives, it calls for a ‘sharper focus on employment generation and poverty alleviation’ through rural development programmes. It is believed that provision of productive employment will help people to stand on their own feet and work with self-confidence and self-respect which will in turn help in people’s participation in developmental tasks. It is felt that information, education and training can play a critical role in creating awareness among the beneficiaries, equipping them with skills required in the process of being able to sustain their own upgradation and inculcating an attitude wherein they view themselves as part and planners of rural development programme. The book attempts to give the philosophy, policy and programme intervention for rural development in India.

Now India has shifted towards western world under the leadership of the U.S. Not only this such countries have also changed their attitude and aptitude regarding India and have started to accept publicly the importance of this country in enhancing their rate of growth. The time has gone when India was only the taker and these countries were supposed to be donors. They were dictating the terms and we were forced to do accordingly. The process of globalization has made these relations in the changed form and now we are also dictating our terms. Now the terms are agreed, goods and services are traded for mutual benefits, balance of trade and payments are taking new shape. There are many challenges before the government like maintaining higher rate of growth and exports, safe-guarding the interest of indigenous industries, restricting the trend of brain draining, using the huge foreign currency fund in a better way, eradicating the problem of development and keeping safety and security of the nation. The book ‘Indian Economy and Challenges of Globalisation’ has been written to analyze the impact of changing world economic scenario on our economy, causes of attractive investment atmosphere, problems and opportunities in outsourcing, role of NGOs in economic development and social transformation, risks and limitations of nuclear energy, changing nature of economic offences and suggested remedies and other related factors affecting our economy directly or indirectly. The object of writing this book is to analyse all such conditions objectively and derive conclusions so that industrialists, traders, governments and other related individuals and institutions may be benefited. ..more  Price: Rs. 600.00  Buy Now Vashvikaran aur Bhartiya Arthvyavastha M.

Khandela In the age of globalization every thing is being done only for development. In actuality development is a means and not the end. It is only the tool by which the government tries or should try to eradicate poverty, inequality, suppression and exploitation. Since presently we have our rate of growth more than 9 per cent per annum, foreign exchange reserve more than 200 billion dollars, Mumbai Stock Exchange Sensex more than 14000 points, rate of growth of exports more than 30%, Indian big companies are taking over M.N.Cs. many times larger than themselves, foreign investors are really crazy to invest in India and we feel ‘proud’ of producing largest number of billionaires every year. On the other side, we are still struggling with our own problems of poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, economic and social inequalities, shortage of essential services like electricity, drinking water, sanitation etc. Majority of the population is not getting bare minimum requirements of food, shelter and health care. It shows that the development, which in one way looks like reality, is on the other way like a myth. The question which, very obviously arises, is as to what is the actuality. In the book “Economic Development: Myth and Reality” the author has tried to analyze the things with maximum level of positivity and factuality. In the book subjects like illusion of development, developmental efforts and general deprivation, hard realities of becoming developed country, global cooperation in poverty eradication, water as the resource for development and corruption and side effects of developments have been discussed, in detail. This book will be useful for entrepreneurs, traders, economic analysts, policy makers, planners and all the persons concerned with the subject. ..more  Price: Rs. 400.00  Buy Now Rural Women and Their Quality of Life S. Bhattacharjee There is no absolute standard of living that is universally accepted although the people living in western capitalist societies are often considered to enjoy a higher quality of life. “Quality of life”, however, varies in time, space and culture. What is better in one culture may not be so in another. People’s desires, expectations in material and economic life as well as preceptions of good life vary across cultures. Good health, wealth, high political power and education may not always be the only criteria for a better “quality of life”. Prevailing social norms, cultural ideologies, and personal values may also influence an individual’s “quality of life”. This book, “Rural Women and their Quality of Life” is a comprehensive and most valuable document on the subject. An empirical investigation into the life-situations of rural women belonging to the different communities viz. Caste Hindus, Muslims and Santals with distinct socio-cultural practices and ideologies; and critical notes on their “quality of life” in objective as well as subjective terms have been presented in this publication. The power, priviledges and autonomy that the women enjoy in the public domain are, however, used not to form a separate world of women but to reinforce their community life. The world of women of all the communities in the villages mentioned in this book is primarily centred around their household, family and lineage. This publication will serve the interest of teachers, researchers, students of sociology; as well as administrators, planners and social workers." ..more  Price: Rs. 900.00  Buy Now International Marketing O.

C. Khandela It is generally said that future is always uncertain. This saying is correct to some extent. But at the same time it is also said that exceptions are always there. This exception is about India’s certain higher rate of growth in the coming future. The future of Indian economy is brighter because of its huge human resources, rapidly upcoming service sector, availability of large number of competent professionals, vast market for every product, increasing impact of consumerism, absence of controls and licenses, interest of foreign entrepreneurs in India and existence of four hundred million middle class people. Even today, India is producing largest number of billionaires in a year, take over by Indian multinationals is amazing, the craze of Indians to go abroad is rapidly diminishing, the Rupee is becoming stronger and stronger in relation to Dollar. Our country’s say in the international diplomacy and political affairs has now become meaningful, thousands of foreigners are working as executives in India, packages are becoming lucrative and competitive and annual rate of growth is highest after China. This present picture gives some reflections of the future. But this is all in the absolute sense and not in the relative terms. We are afraid, in future also problems of poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, conservatism, criminalization of politics and economic and social disparities will be prevailing nearly in the same way. This is the contradiction of present delighting picture and fearful apprehensiveness of future. What is the actuality? This question is not only relevant but has to be necessarily replied. That is why the book “Future of Indian Economy” has been written to analyze the conditions in the field like role of micro financing in eradicating problems of poverty and unemployment, the problems and prospects of knowledge economy, chances and challenges of outsourcing in service sector, role of insurance companies in making the future brighter and safer, aggressive retailing and millions of retailers, impact of future trading in commodities on smaller traders, reforms and changing pattern of lending and borrowing and challenges before the public sector banks.

K. Sharma Globalization, privatization and liberalization have become dominant forces shaping societies and economies the world over. These three processes are interrelated phenomena. Globalized economies are likely to be more privatized and liberalized economies. Globalization, privatization and liberalization are multidimensional phenomena that have implications not only on the economic but also on the sociocultural and environmental aspect of countries and societies.

While foreign direct investment has been increasing for sometime among the developed triad countries, in recent years it has spread to other parts of the world, especially to the giant emerging economies. The privatization and liberalization policies pursued by these emerging economies have created new opportunities for foreign direct investment. International investors now face difficult problems such as choosing countries, evaluating risk-return relationships and assessing profitability in private and public sectors.

Many countries depend heavily upon travel expenditures by foreigners as a source of taxation and as a source of income for the enterprises that sell services to these travellers.

Today, there are 149 member countries of W.T.O. where 5 billion population live and 80% trade is involved. This has reached to the height from where using reverse gear is dangerous. India has become member of W.T.O. and chosen the policy of globalisation voluntarily. Now it is useless to talk much about the negativity of globalisation and is required to find ways and means so that the country may compete with full competence and comfort. Globalisation has made multi-dimensional effects and impacts in India’s foreign trade. We have trade relations with more than about 150 countries and deal in thousands of goods and services. Even though our part in the global trade is about 0.4% only but we have every opportunity to increase it. But we have many problems and limitations like lack of standardization and better quality of exported goods, procedural delays, negative attitude of bureaucracy, lack of prestige and goodwill of exporters, confusing policies, rules and regulations made and implemented by State and Central Governments, lack of professionalism etc. The book ‘Globalization and Foreign Trade’ is a humble attempt to analyze the changing conditions relating with foreign trade like role of bilateral and multi-lateral trade agreements, government assistance and cooperation for expanding foreign trade, changing pattern in relation with commodity, country and currency, new challenges and opportunities, demand of professionalism.

Now different types of adverse conditions are there before these developed countries and developing countries have many positive possibilities and prospects. Outsourcing has started moving in reverse gear. It has become big policy issue in countries like the U.S. and the U.K. On the other hand, countries like China and India have realistic plans of becoming Super Powers in the coming one or two decades only because of globalisation. All over the world not only economists but our politicians have stopped talking about the basic problem of human beings like poverty, unemployment, economic and social disparity, illiteracy, backwardness, lack of equal opportunity, social security, etc. They talk about market economy, dis-investment, privatisation, competency and competition, down sizing computer and information technology, hire and fire, least government control, labour reforms, etc., which are against the interests of the poor.

Sharma The growth of cities in most of the developing economies is the single largest factor influencing imbalances in economic development. The different urbanization levels reflect different degree of economic development. By 2050, half of India's population is likely to be living in cities and cities estimated contribution to Gross Domestic Product will be 75 percent by 2020. Much needs to be done urgently to transform our cities into livable urban spaces, if our cities are not to crumble further under the weight of teeming millions. In the tide of rapid urbanization in the country, urban development and governance has become a matter of vital importance, in our national economy. To govern Indian growing cities for promoting better quality of life of the people seems to be one of the biggest challenges in the twenty first century. Urban governance has to improve dramatically if our cities are to be revived and readied to absorb new migrants. The present urban governance model is unlikely to help our cities need to be governed differently and that calls for a new political culture of urbanity and citizen friendly administration. Financial and economic future of our urban areas will largely rest on how they are managed. Keeping this in mind, this publication familiarizes the reader, urban managers and economist towards understanding the role of urbanization in national economy and to suggest solutions to the challenges thrown up by this phenomenon. It seeks to describe and analyze problems and the response of the concerned urban management institutions in managing them and attempts to define the guidelines in search of their solutions. The study is divided into six chapters, each dealing with different aspects. After the introduction, second chapter examines various dimensions of urbanizations and its impact. The third chapter examines the interrelationship between urbanization and economic development. In fourth chapter institutional set-up and urban management are discussed in details. Fifth chapter deals with strategies and policy options suggested and finally in the sixth chapter conclusions are reported. The book will be of special interest to the policy makers, researchers, urban managers and development agencies. ..more  Price: Rs. 650.00  Buy Now WTO and International Trade R.

The present era of globalisation of finance markets, the economics of developing countries like India have became highly vulnerable to speculative capital movements within and outside the country. Vertical and horizontals menges and acquisitians have became order of the day. MNC’s are wealthier than the countries in which they invest. They have enoraunous barganing power in corrupting the political system of developing countries to extract the maximum benefits for their organisations. Developed nations like USA and many other European countries have not only tried to impose the globalisation agenda on developing countries through WTO but they have also protected their intrests. The kind of developments taking place at international level show that international economic order is moving towards unipolarisation. There is an urgent need to strengthen the democratic process at the international level. This sort of shift in the economic and business atmosphere throughout the world has created an environment conducive to an enterprise and has boosted India's efforts at accelerated industrialisation to improve international competitiveness. Indian industry is undergoing massive re-structuring and striving hard to induct new technoloy and to produce quality, cort, energy efficient and environment friendly products to became globally competitive. In this situation, the role of managers has assumed greater significance because they can strike at the root cause of disease affecting, efficiency, productivity and profitability of the business entities.

There is very little disagreement that the Indian macroeconomic performance has indeed been credible - higher and resilient growth, rising per capita income, a change in the national psyche, which is buttressed by the growing strength in the external sector. At the same time, there is no denying the fact that the large part of our population is still not connected to the mainstream socially or economically. Chapter I of the book tries to interpret the concept inclusive growth taking into consideration of inclusive growth. Inclusive growth implies delivering social justice to all, particularly disadvantaged groups. Chapter II makes attempts to study different initiatives taken by the government to achieve inclusive growth. Chapter III of the book attempts to understand the nature of transition from a socialist to a liberalized economy that has helped India emerge from a bottomless pit for aid to become a potential economic superpower.

Demographers seek to know the level and trends of population size and its components. They search for explanations of demographic changes and their implications for societies. The Indian demographic scene was undergoing a significant change. Although the country still continued to be in the explosive second stage of the demographic transition, yet the trends in fertility and mortality for the country as a whole, as also for its large parts, indicated a perceptible change. The faster decline in the fertility rate in comparison to the decline in mortality rate of the country was a significant development in this regard since the mortality rate in the country had already declined significantly.

Most of the marketing problems arise because the products and services and marketing programmes are not in harmony with consumer’s mind. The study of consumer behaviour tries to harmonise marketing programmes and strategies with consumer needs. In India, due to increase in diversity of population and the ever-expanding choices and freedom makes the study of consumer behaviour a must for the marketing function. The 21st century is not going to be happy with “consumer satisfaction” but is certainly with “consumer delight”. This book is an effort to pave for this paradigm shift.  The entire book is divided into six chapters. The first chapter explains the concept, significance, determinants and models of consumer behaviour. The empirical investigation for collection of primary data has been undertaken through a research methodology in the second chapter. The third chapter highlights the importance of psychological factors in consumer behaviour. The fourth chapter includes the role of personal factors. The fifth chapter incorporates the influence of social and cultural factors. The conclusion has been drawn in the sixth chapter. The book is useful to the students, research scholars, marketers, business firms and psychologists.  ..more  Price: Rs. 450.00  Buy Now Dictionary of Research Methods Janak Singh Meena ,  Subhash Meena Effective research methods are the tools by which information is gathered. Without the appropriate design and use of research methods, we are unlikely to gather quality information and as such create a shaky foundation to any review, evaluation or future strategy. For researchers, the group of research methods contained within this handbook are the research terms, and like any methods need to be used in the right way–for the right research. Research methods, if understood and used appropriately can make your research a lot easier. This book, therefore attempts on the one hand to explain and demystify the world of research methods, whilst on the other it seeks to provide a strarting point for their use. In this, we are not suggesting that using research methods is easy, but merely that it can be appreciated and undertaken by practitioners and non-research experts. This book, reflects our wider aim to develop and improve the performance of the researchers in their research works. In this, we hope this handbook goes some way in helping to address some of the persistent issues faced by researchers and contributes to ensuring positive changes in research field. ..more  Price: Rs. 450.00  Buy Now Vaishvikaran ka Banking Kshetra per Prabhav Harshit Dwivedi HINDI ..more  Price: Rs. 800.00  Buy Now Gender Budgeting : Contemporary Issues and Remedies Mita Ashish Shah Gender Budgeting is a dissection of the Government budget to establish its gender differential impacts and to translate gender commitments into budgetary commitments.

But it is ‘harsh reality’ of the global society that out of 153 crore children, about 25 crore are ‘Child Labour’. They are working in hazardous, most worst forms and other works. Virtually it is a matter of gross violation of ‘Child Rights’. The concentration of child labourers in India is highest in the world.
