Purpose Distribution and retail supply of electricity is the most important cog in the power sector value chain. Despite several reforms, most of the Discoms are facing huge financial losses and resorting to a tariff hike which may not be a viable solution. The purpose of this paper is to analyze a case study of Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd (Tata Power-DDL) which inoculated itself against the financial ills, and demonstrates how a utility can nurture itself and manage the key stakeholder expectation with innovation, ethics, safety, transparency and agility being its cornerstone. Design/methodology/approach The study analyses the situation for Tata Power-DDL which needs to realign its strategy to meet emerging sustainability challenges. The case covers the aspect of strategic management, strategy formulation and change management system deployment using tools such as strength, weakness, opportunities, threat (SWOT), political economical social technological legal environment (PESTLE), critical success factor and key performance indicator cascade. It touches upon the emerging need for distribution utilities to look beyond economic signals and take social and environmental impacts into the strategy planning process. Findings It viewed the distribution business beyond its conventional responsibility of making power available to consumers and to provide quality service. A well thought out adaption and adoption of upgraded technology can be a game changer even for a market which is highly regulated and dominated by players in their respective defined territories. Research limitations/implications Since the sector is regulated and each utility has a pre-defined set of area of operation with no competition within its licensed area, hence, there is a limited application of applied strategy tools such as SWOT and PESTLE. Practical implications Since the sector is regulated and each utility has a pre-defined set of area of operation with no competition within its licensed area, hence, there is a limited application of applied strategy tools such as SWOT and PESTLE. Originality/value India as a market is evolving in energy space and utilities are still struggling to have a fundamental structure to meet the agenda of “power to all.” The paper provides the valuable insights into the process of environmental scanning and formulation of organizational strategy to meet the needs of existing and future energy markets.
The placenta accreta spectrum is on rise. If the placenta is covering the entire anterior uterine wall, there are definite challenges involved in delivering the fetus without exsanguination and with minimal maternal blood loss. We present a case report that highlights the use of transverse uterine fundal incision (TFUI) in an anterior placenta previa with accreta involving the entire uterine wall. It can be considered as an option to vertical uterine incision in such cases where the patient is not desirous of future fertility and caesarean hysterectomy is planned
Introduction: Recycling entails participatory waste management, which includes social, economic, and environmental alternatives and requires people to invest time in separating discarded material and returning it to the industrial process. A variety of variables have been used to understand pro-environmental behaviour, including peer influence, motivation to recycle, environmental beliefs, altruism, level of information, and environmental perception. Methodology: For present study a random survey was conducted amongst the residents of Jaipur staying at different locations and area. The questionnaire consisted of a total of sixteen questions based on the methods of recycling, recyclable items and attitude of public towards participating in recycling. Observations and Result: Most of the participants were aware of the recycling process and its necessity in present scenario. Still they have their own reasons for not being able to fully participate in practicing it in day to day life.
An appropriate technology for waste management in developing countries not only reflects the concern over the operation and cost of machines imported from developed countries but also entails the social and environmental goals of sustainable development based on techniques appropriate to specific settings. In connection with much of the published data, the information is of only partial benefit to a designer or planner, since the national averages presented are applicable only very broadly to the entire nation; that is, to adequately design a solid waste management system for a particular locality comprehensive information about the solid waste in that locality must be obtained. Since solid waste reflect the life-style of the generating populace, the character and amounts of various components in the solid waste stream will vary from locale to locale in Kota city. This paper presents the findings of a study carried out in economically different localities in Kota city to determine the solid waste composition based on field surveys and its management.
<div><em>Knowing it fully well that waste is going to be a great danger in future if not managed properly. Various types of wastes produced by the society is dumped on the roads or in water reservoirs. Another alarming fact is that only about fifty percent is subjected to some sort of treatment. This result in severe pollution of land, air and water and causes severe health problems. The increased incidence of epidemics is a pointer for this situation. Moreover, irreparable damage is being caused to the ecosystem and therefore, a safe dependable waste management and disposal system is the need of the hour.</em></div><div> </div><div><em>The paper stresses the use of 4Rs in minimizing the waste and the techniques related to manage the waste have been discussed at length.</em></div>
