ABSTRACT

The central government of India on November 2016 has announced

demonetization decision. The government has stated the demonetization objectives as

follows.1. Corruption frees India 2. To curtail black money 3.to reduces terrorism 4.

to control raising prices 5. To reduce terrorism by stopping funds flow to the terrorist

organizations. 6. To increase cashless transactions and to make a digital india.

This research consequently, is an effort to find out perceptions of the civil

engineering students about demonetization. A survey was conducted in Guntur,

Andhra Pradesh to understand civil engineering students’ perceptions on

demonetization. This research is an attempt to know the civil engineering students

perceptions towards the aims at the rear of the demonetization policy.

Materials and methods: A study was conducted at different civil engineering

colleges and universities of Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh. A questionnaire was

used to interview 200 individuals.

Results: About the demonetization majority of students are114 (57%) are

expressed that demonetization is good decision taken by central government to

strengthen Indian economy in future.

Conclusion: Most of the civil engineering students are aware of demonetization

and have positive perceptions towards to demonetization and students believe that

demonetization policy curtails terrorism, poverty and makes India a cashless society

and digital India.

Keywords: civil engineering students, Demonetization, perception, Black money

1. INTRODUCTION

Demonetization of currency means taking away of one country currency from circulation and

replacing with new currency. This is not the first time that India has demonetized its currency,

previously it was done in 1946 with the complete ban of thousand and ten thousand notes to

deal with the unaccounted money i.e. black money. Second time it was done in 1978 by

Morarji Desai, government. The main objective of this step is to reveal the black money, to

cut back corruption, fake currency as well as terror financing. This step is considered as the

biggest cleanliness drive against the black money in the history of Indian economy.3

The success or failure of any Government policy depends on the support of public

includes students, farmers, business people and employees etc. Students support is very much

required for the success or failure of policy. The support comes from perception of the

students towards policy. If the students have positive perceptions towards policy, whatever

the consequences they have to face, they face positively and encourage others to support

policy by educating the people and encourage the citizen to implement the policies of central

government. Civil engineering students who are technically sound about the construction at

the same time they are having knowledge about social changes that are taking place in and

around the society. Majority of the civil engineering students are aware about merits and

demerits of demonetization, consequences and objectives of demonetization. So Government

has to publicize the merits and positive consequences of demonetization and how it will

useful for the development of country

2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE

(PradnyaSurwade)6 2017 study the effect of demonetization on every day Income, people's

expectations concerning currency etc. The study discloses problems faced by common

peoples with the use of online banking which are further analyzed and solution to this

problems are suggested to some extent, in turn to move towards cashless banking.

(Ajit omghyan)7

2017 has discussed the central government motives behind

demonetization and merits and demerits of demonetization elaborately and effects of

demonetization on economy has discussed

(Vishal guptha)8

2017 in his articles discussed the various objectives associated with

demonetization. In his article he discussed various unique methods for transforming black

money in to white one. He discussed the impact of demonetization on Indian economy with

number of examples like how demonetization impact on marriages, real estate sector, and

terror related funding activities and international relationships.

(By Deepak Jha)9 2017 in his article Demonetization: Does It Really Deserve Such A

Hype?, discussed the impact of demonetization on black money. And he suggested various

methods to curb the black money. He also claimed that demonetization is a political motive

decision

3. To find out effect of demonetization on black money.

4. To study influence of demographical profiles of civil engineering students about

demonetization.

HYPOTHESES

In the view of the objectives cited above, the following hypotheses are formulated for the

study.

HYPOTHESIS: 1

5. CONCLUSION

The success or failure of any Government policy depends on the support of citizen of country

people includes students, farmers, business men and govt. and private employees of the

society. Students support is very much required for the success or failure of policy. The

support comes from perception of the students towards policy. If the students have positive

perceptions towards policy, whatever the consequences they have to face, they face positively

and encourage others to support policy by educating the people and promote the citizen to

implement the policies of central government. Civil engineering students who are technically

sound about the drugs at the same time they are having knowledge about social changes that

are taking place in and around the society. Majority of the civil engineering students are

aware about merits and demerits of demonetization, consequences and objectives of

demonetization. So Government has to publicize the merits and positive consequences of

demonetization and how it will useful for the development of country
