Abstract:

The success of an organization is heavily dependent on its ability to retain its key staff. However,

this is becoming increasingly difficult because of labour mobility brought about by globalization.

Globalization has afforded employees the opportunity to compare working conditions and

remuneration packages across labour markets thereby triggering the migration of labour from

less attractive markets to more competitive markets. Developing countries labour markets have

borne the brunt of brain drain to the attractive markets, Zimbabwe in general, and state

universities in particular were not spared. However, the University of Zimbabwe (UZ) fared

better in retaining its staff compared to other state universities. Against this backdrop, this study

sought to investigate what the UZ did better than the other state universities to retain higher

levels of staff. The studys proposition was that the UZ managed to retain its staff due to its

effective staff motivation techniques which included among other things; job autonomy, task

structures and a conducive working environment. However, the study also revealed some areas

of possible improvements at the UZ such as directly linking expended effort to rewards.

Key words: Motivation, staff retention, brain drain, working conditions

ABSTRACT:

Poverty alleviation and sustainable development have become burning issues all over the world

now-a-days. A significant development of a nation means proper alleviation of poverty and

sustainable development. For this reason poverty alleviation and sustainable development have

become global challenges, especially in the developing country like Bangladesh. The micro

credit programme is playing a vital role in the poverty alleviation. But it is not sufficient for

sustainable development. There is no alternative way as Small and Medium Enterprises sector

(SMEs) for sustainable development. For this reason SMEs is an emphasizing sector not only

developing country like Bangladesh but also all over the world. In parallel of government of a

country, commercial banks and economical institutions have initiated different activities on the

basis of SMEs sector to gain sustainable development. In this article we have investigated the

role of SMEs sector to sustainable development in Bangladesh. Our main objective in this paper

is to study and analyze the activities of Government, commercial banks and economical

institutions in the small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) in Bangladesh. This paper focuses

the employment status of the small enterprise sector and the progressive status of Medium

enterprise sector in Bangladesh and also based on mainly secondary data.

Keywords: SMEs, Sustainable development, Poverty Alleviation, Commercial Banks

Abstract:

The book, a booker Prize Winner written by Aravind Adiga is very interesting focusing on social

and economic dimensions. According to Adiga, much has been said about poverty in India lately.

this gentleman, by the name Aravinda Adiga conveys to the readers why it is so. He clearly

indicates the subtle yet alarming difference between the two Indias that exist today. The story

ABSTRACT:

In the early stages of industrialization in Indian industries, provisions of safety, health,

welfare measures for factory / manufacturing workers did not receive adequate attention.

Employers were not inclined to accept the financial burden of those activities. Hence the state

had to intervene, in discharge of its responsibility, by using its persuasive powers and/or by

enforcing legislation and Compulsory provisions are thus incorporated in the Factories Act,

1948.

But in todays world, organizations and companies are focusing without the intervene of

any body and they accessing various methods to increase manpower productivity and

commitment of employees, especially in manufacturing sector, this study identified that there is a

relationship between the effective provisions of safety, health measures that leads to productivity

will lead to ultimate profit for the organization.

ABSTRACT:

The study examined the effect of nature of job (High risk / low risk) on occupational stress

of 200 workers of Tata Motors Ltd, in Jamshedpur. These workers were divided on the basis

of nature of job (high / low risk) and salary (high / low paid). Thus, there were four sub-groups

and each sub-group there were 50 cases. The Occupational Stress Index developed by

Srivastava and Singh in 1981 was administered on these 200 workers. Results clearly

indicated that nature of job (high and low risk) played a significant role in creating stress in

workers. Workers doing high risk jobs showed greater stress compared to workers doing low risk

jobs in both high paid and low paid categories. Role overload, role ambiguity, responsibility of

persons, unreasonable group pressures, under participation, poor peer relations, low status,

strenuous working conditions, unprofitability were the factors which contributed more

occupational stress. Conclusion: High risk job workers had significantly greater stress

compared to low risk job workers.

Keywords: Occupational Stress, Nature of jobs, Industrial workers.

Abstract:

The fibre reinforced concrete, which is defined as a composite material consisting of a material

of cement mortar or concrete and discontinues discrete, uniformly distributed fibres has gained a

wide popularity in the construction industry. The introduction of fibres into the concrete induces

many desirable properties to the concrete and such concrete has wide varieties of applications in

the field of civil engineering. Many types of fibres like steel, carbon, GI, glass, asbestos fibres

can be used for the production of fibre reinforced concrete.

The plastic is causing an environmental pollution. The plastic is a non-biodegradable

material. It do not undergo decay. To destroy this plastic, if it is burnt, it adds to air pollution by

releasing many toxic gases. Thus, for environmentalists, the plastic has become a big headache.

Flyash is another industrial waste which is causing environmental pollution. The water in which

flysah falls becomes unfit for drinking. The land on which it falls becomes infertile. The air

becomes polluted since it spreads into atmosphere and causes lung problems.

In this paper an attempts has been made to study the properties of fibre reinforced concrete

produced from waste plastic fibres and flyash which are the two environmental pollutions. The

strength characteristics of waste plastic fibre reinforced concrete like compressive strength,

tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength are found when the flyash is added in

different percentages like 0%, 30%, 50%, 70%, 90%, and 110%. Also the workability

characteristic of waste plastic fibre reinforced concrete with flyash is studied.

Key words: Waste plastic fibres reinforced concrete, Flyash, Compressive, Tensile, Flexural and

Impact strength

Abstract:

During the last one decade there has been significant demographic change in India's

population due to globalization and improved medical facility and lifestyle. The fall of joint

family system and rise in nuclear family system has brought new dimension to the care and

welfare of Elderly. The population of aged people above 60 yrs as on 2009 is estimated at 90

million, i.e. around 8% of total population. According to UN the population of 60+ in 2050 will

be around 20%. Life expectancy has increased 60% in last 60 years from 42 yrs in 1950 to 69yrs

in 2009. This paper examines the pros and cons of reverse mortgage scheme and need of such

scheme in Indian society and challenges in the implementation of such senior citizen finance

schemes in India. A large part of the savings of Senior Citizens is tied up in non-liquid assets

such as homes and property. Senior Citizens usually do not have a regular income and if they

exhaust their savings, then it gets difficult to meet living expenses without having to sell their

house. A reverse mortgage allows a senior citizen who owns a house to avail of a monthly stream

of income against mortgage of the house. The senior citizen remains the owner and occupies the

house throughout his or her lifetime, without repayment or servicing of the loan. This system

allows Senior Citizens to convert their homes into cash without having to sell their property. The

monthly amount paid by the reverse mortgage company can be used to meet medical expenses,

pay utility bills and so on. The borrower does not need to repay the loan as long as he/she

continues to live in the house. This scheme is becoming popular in recent years in india. But as

per the RBI report it is not well accepted in India due to the family system that we follow. Recent

reports seem to indicate that less than 150 people have taken advantage of the facility since its

inception, and it is, therefore, likely to be considered a failure. This is unfortunate because the

facility simply has not been adequately explained. It was also unattractively packaged. The

Indian banking industry must not complicate the scheme as it has done.

Key words: Joint family system, Reverse mortgage, senior citizen savings, housing loan,

Abstract:

The knowledge possessed by a person is an abstract phenomenon. The endeavor to manage

knowledge in terms of creation and development needs cautious treading by the organizations.

The aspiration of the knowledge owner is often implicit and hence the challenge lies in

fathoming the minds and taking appropriate steps to capture the knowledge. There are three

different types of knowledge; explicit, tacit and contextual. Contextual is objective specific and

short-lived. Explicit knowledge is often a materialized form of tacit one. Hence, tacit knowledge

is the epicenter of all the other forms. In order to harness the same needs multifarious change in

the mindset and outlook of the managers at the helm of Knowledge Management. The role of

government can be understood is also to be understood from various perspectives in fostering

knowledge creation and its utilization. However, the most disturbing truths of organizations in

knowledge management are hardcore patriarchal mindset and imitational culture at the top and

middle level.

information Study Area: Ten villages of rural areas of Aligarh district (Uttar Pradesh) India

were selected. Sampling Technique: Purposive random sampling. Study Unit: Five hundred

pregnant women, with mean age were 26.19 years were selected as a target group. Data

Analysis: Nutrient intake was compared with Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), and

Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA). Percentage method is used to assess the food fads

and literacy level. Results: In the study areas energy releasing nutrients and protein rich foods

are more consumed consciously among literate pregnant women as compared to illiterate

pregnant women. Mostly the illiterate pregnant woman follows the food fads. Conclusion:

Literacy level assumed a special significance in the Indian context because the problem of

malnutrition in India is mainly due to ignorance, poverty, and lack of knowledge which is mainly

governed by social taboos.

Key Words: Literacy, pregnant women, dietary pattern, rural areas.

seeking to provide required mutual relationship among the three factors for better productivity. It

is also discussed on details in need for organizations to endow in people through Human

resource development agendas, Emotional Intelligence behaviors and encouragement of the

development of social capital in order to confront competitive environment, succeeding in the

current ideas era characterized with uncertainty and inevitable change. The conceptual review

provides evidence which it is reliable to presume that the relationship among HRD, social

capital, emotional and organization productivity is highly integrated. This finding influenced the

authors to conceptualize on interconnectivity of HRD, social capital, emotional intelligence and

organizational productivity concerning internal and external environmental factors.

Abstract:

Apart from highlighting the historical and theoretical aspects of foreign exchange rate, the study

aims to analyze the composition of Indias foreign exchange reserves during the period

between 1991 and 2009 and the issues related to optimum level of holding of foreign exchange

reserves, full capital account convertibility, flow of capital and interest rate have also been

critically analyzed. The study shows that the exposition of Indian economy in 1991 to global

has much perceived effect on accumulation of foreign exchange reserves but India , at present,

can not move on to full capital account convertibility due to fiscal deficit, inflationary trends and

lack of very sound global level financial centre. The study reveals that India has presently

obtained more than optimum level of foreign exchange reserves and Indian interest rates and

investment climate were conducive to foreign exchange inflows which accrued mostly from

capital accounts to various sectors of Indian economy during period under study.
