PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between educational qualification and entrepreneurial intent (EI) of the students of private and government universities located in the state of Odisha, India.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on the responses of 485 students of selected private and government universities in Odisha, India. A multistage random sampling approach has been adopted to collect the data and was tested for the role of different elements relating to education in explaining EI.FindingsThe findings suggest that the private universities are superior to the government universities in their Quality of Entrepreneurship Education (QEE), students' Exposure to Entrepreneurship Education (EEE) and their EI. Business Management and Commerce students have more inclination toward entrepreneurship compared to the students of professional streams like Law, Pharmacy, Engineering etc. Self-employed parents, EEE and Extra-Curricular Activities (ECA) are the significant determinants of EI among the university students; whereas, Academic Achievement (AA) and Socio-economic Status (SES) do not significantly explain their EI. Finally, gender also plays a vital role where male students show higher EI compared to their female counterparts.Practical implicationsThe research provides an understanding of the significance of entrepreneurship education along with ECA in developing EI among government and private university students.Originality/valueThe paper not only empirically presents the major differences between private and government-owned universities while dealing with entrepreneurship development at the university level but also highlights the impact of demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the students on their EI.
The study makes an attempt to assess the poverty eradication of Jhumias through the rubber plantation in Tripura. The result indicates that poverty among the jhumias are reduced after rehabilitation through the rubber plantation. The human poverty index and multidimensional poverty index shows that during jhum cultivation respectively, 98.68 per cent and 100 per cent jhumias were fallen under the poverty line. It means poverty were very high during the shifting cultivation., Human poverty index and multidimensional poverty index shows that after rehabilitation of jhumias through the rubber cultivation respectively, 1.68 per cent and 0.6 per cent are under the poverty line.It means poverty among the jhumias are effectively reduced after rubber plantation. Thus the paper suggests that rubber plantation will be a useful strategy for rehabilitation of jhumias and poverty eradication.
It has been realized that Corporate Governance is vital for better management of any organization. Financial reporting and disclosure of any information are the key factors of corporate governance. Financial Institutions are no exceptions and there has been increasing demand for transparency in functioning of these Institutions in view of several scams.In this paper a modest effort is made to discuss the reporting pattern of India’s twelve financial institutions namely SBI, IDBI, SIDBI, IFCI, NABARD, PNB, UBI, BOB, BOI, KMB, NHB and HDFC. Top Six commercial banks namely (SBI, BOB, PNB, KMB UBI & BOI), six developments banks viz. SIDBI, IFCI, HFDC, IDBI, NHB, and NABARD are selected under study .The rationale for selection of these institutes is that being incorporated organizations, they should have same Corporate Governance standards. In view of transparency in functioning, the role of different Committees has a vital role to play. Six parameters have been chosen for comparison of various corporate governance practices in all these twelve financial institutions namely, Company’s philosophy on Corporate Governance, Formation of Board of Directors, Composition of Board of Directors, Particulars of Director’s, Organizational Committees, and Additional Information supplied in CG report or in the Annual report.
The study makes an attempt to assess the poverty alleviation of Jhumias through the fish cultivation in Gomati district of Tripura. It is based on the primary data, which has been randomly collected from 150 fish cultivating households (who were previously involved in shifting cultivation) through a well-structured questionnaire. Samples were selected from the three subdivisions of the Gomati district. The result indicates that poverty among the Jhumias got reduced after their rehabilitation through fish cultivation. The Multidimensional Poverty Index and the Human Poverty Index showed that during shifting cultivation 87 per cent and 89.3 per cent of Jhumias respectively were below the poverty line in Gomati district. It means poverty was very high during the shifting cultivation. The Multidimensional Poverty Index, and the Human Poverty Index, showed that after their rehabilitation of through fish cultivation 0.28 per cent and 4.06 per cent of Jhumias respectively were below the poverty line. It means poverty among the Jhumias was effectively reduced when they adopted fish cultivation. Thus, the paper suggests that fish cultivation is a useful strategy for rehabilitation of Jhumias and their poverty alleviation.
Background: In spite of many years of rigorous exploration and several papers after Modigliani and Millers' original work, surprisingly there is absence of agreement even today among the finance specialists on the fundamental issue of corporate finance, concerning why finance managers utilize various combinations of debt and equity. Most of the researchers opine differently as to what is the ideal debt and equity formation, which can maximize the profitability of the origination. The degree of collision of capital structure on profitability as well as to scrutinize the model debt and equity structure in the selected IT companies of India is the prime intent of the study. We have chosen the top five IT companies of India from the period 2014-2015 to 2018-19 based on market capitalisation. Different analysis such as Proportion Analysis, Correlation Analysis and Regression Analysis are taken into consideration to find out the noteworthy association between the debt-equity mix and profitability of companies. Findings: The after-effects of correlation examination show that, both DER and DTA have a negative relationship with NP, though not significantly, while both DER and DTA have a significant negative relationship with ROA. Nevertheless, all other profitability factors for example ROCE, RONW and RLTF have a strong and positive relationship with DER and DTA, which may be a result of the advantage of trading on equity dealt in by the organization. As the study based on the experimental variability's such as NP, ROCE, RONW, ROA and ROLF, with the predictor variable as Debt Equity Ratio (DER) and Debt to Total Assets Ratio (DTA), taken together to establish the association with capital structure. After the analysis, results shows that, the R 2 esteems as computed in the regression examination are 22.9%, 88.4%, 93.1%, 71.8% and 88.7%. It demonstrates that; expect Net Profit, which shows a moderate positive relationship but other variables show a strong positive relationship with capital structure.
We all must agree that the word "trend" is now the buzzword of the stock market. As a part of investment strategy and analysis, it is always suggested that the investors should keep an eye on medium-term and short-term changes in addition to longer-term (secular) patterns. Traders and investors use the RSI as a momentum indicator. Overbought and oversold situations are indicated by RSI values between 70 and 30. Over the past two decades, several techniques have been developed to analyze NIFTY 50 data for investment purposes. In this paper, we have estimated the returns by looking at the two trends i.e., 50-50 and 60-40. In addition to this, how to trade and back-test our strategy is also explained. Applying these two RSI strategies to the NIFTY 50 chart revealed that 50-50 offers a higher long-term return, while 60-40 provides a superior short-term return. Finally, the strategies' returns F-statistics and P-values were calculated and analyzed to determine their significance level and acceptability.
