A STUDY ON THE USE OF NON-TRADITIONAL ENERGY RESOURCES IN INDIA

Author: Rajeev Prashad, Ventka Rao

ABSTRACT
Energy is the key input to drive and improve the life cycle. Primarily, it is the gift of the nature to the Mankind in various forms. The consumption of the energy is directly proportional to the progress of the mankind. With ever growing population, improvement in the living standard of the humanity,
industrialization of the developing countries, the global demand for energy is expected to increase rather significantly in the near future. The primary source of energy is fossil fuel, however the finiteness of fossil fuel reserves and large scale environmental degradation caused by their widespread
use, particularly global warming, urban air pollution and acid rain, strongly suggests that harnessing of non-conventional, renewable and environment friendly energy resources is vital for steering the global energy supplies towards a sustainable path. This paper describes in brief the nonconventional
energy sources and their usage in India.

UNDERSTANDING CONSUMER BEHAVIOR IN ONLINE RETAIL MARKETS

Author: Rashmi Bansal, Madhvi Singla

Introduction
Now days, there is common saying that on-line retail will eventually kill the traditional retail. Fortunately, such prophecies could not be further away from the truth. While the on-line retailers have recorded an explosive growth and is on track to keep growing very rapidly, the traditional retail has also been quietly nothing up impressive growth numbers. Not only that, spurred by the rapid growth of our economy, the entire retail market is set to grow very rapidly as well and in context, both organised retail and on-line retail together represent a paltry 7.5% of the estimated total retail market
in the country. A closer look at the numbers and a study of projections by many seems to indicate that both these forms, organised retail and the on-line retail together will still constitute just about 11% of the total retail market in the country even in 2017.

AN ANALYSIS OF FARMER SUICIDES IN PUNJAB’S AGRARIAN ECONOMY

Author: Manpreet Shoor

Abstract
Traditionally agrarian, Punjab- the food basket of India exposes the problem of extremes rural insecurity judged through rising number of farmer suicides contradicting the prevalent narrative of one of the fastest- growing national economies in the world. Indian Government chose Punjab as site for Green Revolution in 1960s where its output increased manifold. Three decades later, without any alternative source of employment, the small and marginal farmers still pursued economically unsustainable agrarian practices of green revolution, while accumulating high debts finding solutions in suicide only. The rising suicide cases represent how unfulfilled socio-economic rights can fuel both inward and outward facing violence and insecurity. This article suggests that the government‟s lack of attention to the phenomenon seems to be root of social inequalities, structural marginalization and anxiety among farmers. An immediate and multi-staged response plan, combined policy changes by central and state government with guidance of society can only create a rural human security that is equitable, inclusive and lasting.

THE ROLE OF BUSINESS ETHICS IN ACHIEVING SUCCESS

Author: Divyanshi Varma

Abstract
Business Ethics is now the word of the day. It is the application of the principles of ethics in the area of business and commerce. The functional areas of business management are concerned with the practical application of management principles in different fields of day to day business activities,
including marketing, advertising, human resource management, accounting, production & operation management, information technology and so on. In all these areas the manager encounters ethical dilemmas and has to confront many type of unethical practices. The general ethical principles that
these areas are supposed to apply include justice & fairness in all dealing. An organisation without any ethical culture is like a ship without rudder. Such an organisation cannot be successful in the long run even though it may earn a hunk of money. In recent years, the failure of most of the well established
companies did not occur due to lack of salesmanship, goodwill or strategic planning but mostly because of lack of ethical terra firma. Highly educated, successful business savvy corporate professionals at Enron, Tyco, WorldCom and Satyam got themselves into a big mess mainly because of profound lack of ethics. Therefore the success of any organisation largely depends on the ethical code of conduct. This paper describes the scope and importance of business ethics. The paper also highlights, what code of conduct must be followed to excel in the market with special reference to India’s most ethical companies WIPRO and TATA.

THE CHALLENGE OF FINANCIAL VIABILITY: A RESEARCH GAP IN PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP (PPP) PROJECTS IN INDIA

Author: Mohd Shoeb & Mohsina Hayat

ABSTRACT:
This paper analyses the research published in high-impact journals on the financial management of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects in India. Our purpose is to answer the following research questions: (a) Which specific financial viability challenges—such as revenue streams, risk allocation, and capital structure—are most critically analysed? (b) How are financial theories and models applied to assess and mitigate these viability risks in the Indian PPP context? (c) What are the predominant gaps in the current literature that indicate potential areas for further research? The methodology applied is a systematic bibliographic review of articles related to the research questions published from 2000 to 2023 in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. Our findings show that while the causes of project failure (e.g., aggressive bidding, renegotiation, contract termination) are intensely studied, a significant gap remains in the development of robust, India-specific financial frameworks for ex-ante viability assessment. Furthermore, no consensus has been reached on a standardized model for evaluating the financial sustainability of PPPs across different infrastructure sectors in India.
This paper is structured as follows: Section 2 outlines the literature review methodology. Section 3 presents the findings and analysis, organized around the research questions. Section 4 discusses the implications of these findings and the identified research gaps. Finally, Section 5 concludes with recommendations for future research.
