Natural resources and environmental concerns have been prevalent not only in India, but in other countries of the world as well, but in most cases, India has been the major country that has experienced the depletion of natural resources and environmental degradation. In this research manuscript, main focus has been laid upon India; India is the most populous country in the world and with the impact of population explosion, there is exhaustion of natural resources and environmental degradation. The main areas that have been highlighted are rural poverty and environmental degradation, effects of disasters and natural hazards, assessing risks, impacts and opportunities from natural resources and the environment, precise insinuations for environment, sustainability and green development, greening rural development and economic growth and environmental sustainability. The issues have been taken into account and the measures also have been underscored that are essential in order to lead to preservation and sustenance of natural resources and the environment.
In this article, we examine the relationship between oil price shocks and stock market behaviour using market index data for 15 sample countries. The sample countries are classified into four categories, based on their economic strength and oil exporting/importing status, to verify if the testable relationship varies across different economic settings. The study period ranges from 1 January 1993 to 31 March 2009. We find that on a pre-event basis, sample stock markets do not provide any extra normal returns. This implies that there are no serious leakages in oil price information, which could be exploited by investors in these markets. Further, after it is observed that irrespective of the nature of oil prices shocks (price increases and decreases), the high-growth emerging economies do provide significantly positive returns on post-event basis. Among the Asian economies, the Chinese stock market reacts to oil price shock in a lagged manner. Our findings are relevant for portfolio managers who are continuously on the lookout for global trading strategies that generate extra normal returns. From the policy makers’ perspective, given the high and stable demand for oil in the case of high growth emerging economies, it seems that supply side bottlenecks mainly cause the oil price shocks. Our work contributes to the market efficiency and behavioural finance literature in the global capital market context.
Food and nutrition is considered to be an extremely significant and a comprehensive area of ones life. The physical growth and development of an individual, the development of mindset, capacity building, skill formation, understanding of educational concepts, capabilities, cognitive development, development of fine, gross and motor skills and so forth within an individual effectively takes place due to consumption of a healthy and a nutritious diet. There are numerous types of foods and drinks available throughout the world and with the impact of globalization; international food companies are establishing their businesses throughout the world, including India. Regarding food and nutrition, it is important for the individuals to classify the differences between healthy and unhealthy food items, one should consume healthy food items and unhealthy food items should not be completely avoided but should be consumed once in a while. This research paper; highlights the significance of nutrition education and the main areas that have been underscored are, the need for nutrition education, development of nutrition education, nutrition education in community areas, and recommendation of nutrition education programs. Within educational institutions and training centers, it has been observed that besides the other educational concepts and topics, nutrition education and concepts relating to diet and food are taken into consideration. The researcher found that in educational institutions, the educators even in an informal, oral conversation communicate this aspect to the students that they should consume a healthy, well balanced breakfast before coming to school, hence, the area of food and nutrition has become important in all community areas.
The primary aim of rural individuals is to obtain good and well-paid employment opportunities. They possess the viewpoint that obtaining employment opportunities would enable them to sustain their living conditions in an appropriate manner. The rural individuals are engaged in number of employment opportunities. These include, blue-collar as well as white collar jobs. They are acquiring higher educational qualifications and are engaged in reputed employment opportunities. In order to obtain a good job, it is vital for the individuals to enhance their skills and abilities and acquire good education. The main objective of this research paper is to acquire an efficient understanding of employment opportunities, in which rural individuals are engaged. The main areas that have been taken into account are, nature of unemployment in India, types of employment opportunities in rural communities, factors influencing children to get engaged in employment opportunities, and factors influencing the acquisition of employment opportunities.
In India, majority of the population, resides in rural communities. The development of all aspects within rural communities is vital for the effective development of the country. These include, education, employment opportunities, infrastructure, housing, civic amenities and the environmental conditions. Furthermore, rural individuals need to be aware of all modern and innovative methods and techniques that are vital to augment productivity. Within the country, the rural communities are still in an underdeveloped state. The individuals are residing in the conditions of poverty, they are illiterate and unemployed. Due to these factors, they are unable to sustain their living conditions in an appropriate manner. It is essential to formulate programs, schemes and measures that have the main objective of bringing about improvements in rural communities. The main areas that have been taken into account in this research paper include, concept of rural development, approaches to rural development, problems experienced by rural individuals, programs initiated by the Government for rural development. Rural development involves the building of human life, which includes social, cultural, religious, political and economic conditions. In India, more than 70 percent of the population resides in rural communities. When the concept of development of the country is taken into consideration, then two main areas need to be emphasised upon, urban and rural. The development of both the areas is necessary in order to lead to effective growth and development of the country. Therefore, the government is putting into operation the measures that would lead to development of rural areas. There has been recognition of the needs of the rural communities by the government of India and has adopted the development planning measures, which have been implemented through the Five Year Plans. The initiation of schemes and programs have enabled the rural communities to bring about improvements in their living conditions. The development of the country is correlated with the development of rural communities [1]. The basic objective of rural development is to organize, develop and utilize the available resources of land, water and human resources in such a manner that an entire population is dependent upon these resources and have an equitable opportunity to fulfil The individuals belonging to rural communities lead a simple lifestyle. They are less aware of modern and innovative methods and approaches and are less communicative in nature, as compared to individuals, belonging to urban communities. The rural communities, normally lead their lives in accordance to the traditions, customs, values and norms. In the past decade, large amount of efforts and resources have been spent upon projects and programs that are put into operation, with the main purpose of development of basic needs. Rural development takes into account, both the economic development and a greater transformation of the individuals. With the purpose of enhancing the livelihoods of th...
