This volume puts together the latest available information on
higher education in India at a single location. While higher
education is an extremely dynamic segment in India's education
sector, yet a host of issues related to a lack of a good and
comprehensive monitoring system have prevented the regular
publishing of data on this sector. Data does exist, but it tends to
be infrequently published, dated, not comparable and many times of
poor quality. The authors present here the most appropriate data
that is credible, from government or associated data sources. This
compendium of data simplifies for the reader, the gamut of issues
that must be kept in mind, before interpreting the data on higher
education. This book will be of immense use and interest to
educationists, policy-makers and student of varied disciplines
including economics and demographics. Please note: Taylor &
Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India,
Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka
"The Social and Economic Profile of India" contains maps and
written text illustrating India's current state of affairs on a
wide range of demographic, social and economic variables as well as
information based on the 2001 census, various NASSO (National
Sample Survey Organization) surveys as well as other published data
from public sources. It also presents composite ratings of states
and districts. Each map is accompanied by a brief commentary
highlighting the key features. Map commentaries also refer to
national and state values and averages to allow a more thorough
appreciation of such characteristics. Readers interested in more
information have been referred to other publications and sources.
Consequently this is a desk guide as well as a 'first resort'
reference on India.
This book is an outcome of a study on bankruptcy of small
businesses in India...The process of conducting the study brought
forth revealing facts on the functionality of small businesses,
their problems and possible solutions. Small businesses are treated
as those productive activities whose stakeholders cannot access the
Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR),
post-failure. It presents the central idea which is post-bankruptcy
problems faced by the entrepreneur. To this work, insights from
other published work on small-scale industries (SSIs) have been
studied and added to provide the reader with a holistic view about
the small-scale entrepreneur and the problem of bankruptcy.
Economic freedom matters. It improves outcomes by empowering
citizens with the freedom to choose. This report, one of a series
starting in 2005, once again seeks to measure economic freedom in
different Indian states, and to show how this improves economic
outcomes. Economic freedom is a concept first used by the Fraser
Institute to measure the extent to which governments constrain
efficient decision making and distort resource allocation. It has
been used in cross-country literature to show that countries with
higher levels of freedom have better development indicators.
However, attempts to capture economic freedom at the sub-national
level of state governments are rare, although very pertinent in a
federal country like India. Many areas of economic decision making
in India fall under the jurisdiction of state governments, and are
listed in the Seventh Schedule of the Indian Constitution. Our
pioneering work modifies the Fraser Institute's methodology of
measuring economic freedom across countries, creating a new way of
measuring economic freedom across Indian states. This enables us to
see which states are getting freer or less free, and to demonstrate
how economic freedom at the state level impacts economic
development.
