Well defined and futuristic education policy is essential for a country at school and college levels due to the reason that education leads to economic and social progress. Different countries adopt different education systems by considering the tradition and culture and adopt different stages during their life cycle at school and college education levels to make it effective. Recently Government of India announced its new Education policy which is based on the recommendations by an expert committee headed by Dr. Kasturirangan, Former chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). This paper highlights on various policies announced in the higher education system and compare them with the currently adopted system. Various innovations and predicted implications of NEP 2020 on the Indian higher education system along with its merits are discussed. Finally, some suggestions are proposed for its effective implementation towards achieving its objectives.

Systematic education policy is essential for offering school and college education in a country due to the reason that education leads to progress in society. Different countries use different education systems with different stages during its life cycle of school and College education levels. Recently, the Government of India received a draft Education policy suggested by an expert committee headed by Dr. K. Kasturirangan, former chairman of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). The committee suggested both incremental and drastically changes in existing Indian education policy and give guidelines to effective implementation in the country by 2030. This is also in line with the Objectives of fourth Sustainable Development Goals to provide quality education for all citizens through fourth Educational Industry Revolution (EIR 4.0) in the country. This paper reviews the related literature during last few years on Indian Higher Education Policies and their consequences, Salient features and their focuses on the present draft of National Education policy 2019 through content analysis. The paper highlights on various policies proposed in the draft with the special emphasis on higher education section and compare them with the previous policies. The analysis also compares the possible effects of NEP 2019 proposal on private and public HEIs in terms of facilities & restrictions. The strength and weakness of the new policy are identified with respect to various stakeholders and listed. Appropriate suggestions are made to realize the policy and make it defect free and effective from a public point of reference and for the prosperity of the country.

The question of survival and sustenance is very critical for every individual or organization. There are various factors that are essential for growth and sustenance of companies. There have been many research studies undertaken to gauge the success factors or to break down the components and study success in detail. Since Prahalad and Hart propounded the need for multinationals to serve the large base of the pyramid markets, which could be done profitably and need not be left only to government and aided agencies, many multinationals across the world have been made significant steps in reaching out to these markets especially in emerging economies. In these strategies, there have been some successes and many failures. In previous papers we have studied many such strategies and we have proposed a "theory of sustainable and scalable growth for organizations and individuals" also called the "Cockroach theory".

India is the fastest growing economy in the world. It is also the seventh largest economy in the world by GDP measure and the second largest in terms of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). The digital Indian plan was a major step by the government in India to bring all segments into purview. It has a three pronged agenda of providing infrastructure, governance and digital empowerment to every citizen. This initiative will transform the economy of the nation and make it among the top seven countries globally to go completely digital. But, inherently this exercise was a critical need to get the vast population and the informal sector into the folds of accountability and get statistics on the informal economy in India. Although, there is no accurate figure defined as BOP for the Indian sector by the government statistical organizations, the below poverty line statistics published by the government look at people living on even less than $ 0.45 per day. Such being the socio economic situation with the thrust on a lot of developmental measures and poverty alleviation methods, there has been a significant improvement in employment opportunities and as per some statistics we have seen a large number of households moving out of dire poverty. The importance of these digitization efforts is planned economic and societal growth triggered by a massive adoption of digital technologies. This paper studies the various action plans in digitization and their impact on the BOP sector in India.

The acute shortage of professionally qualified healthcare workers in developing countries is creating big problem in providing quality and timely health services to the needy people. Despite of many trained health care professionals our health care system is struggling to provide optimum services to the patients. This shortage is compounded by a high burden of infectious diseases, emigration of trained professionals, difficult working conditions, and low motivation by country governments. Even though, the permanent solution to this problem is to create more professional doctors by increasing training courses, training facilities through modifying government policies and enhancing resources to do so. But such actions and resultant solutions take long time to realize in practice. Hence a quick optimum solution is needed to address the critical shortage of trained healthcare professionals. Out of many alternatives, the best alternative for health care executives in any hospital of primary health centres is the strategic decision of thinking and implementing so called strategy of task-shifting. Task-shifting is a management strategy in which the clinical care responsibilities are transferred from more specialized professionals to less specialized health workers through proper delegation. This delegation of tasks from one cadre to another, previously often called substitution, is not a new concept. It has been used in many countries and for many decades, either as requirements to emergency needs or as a method to provide adequate healthcare service at primary and secondary levels, especially in rural and urban health centres with understaffed facilities, and also to enhance quality and reduce costs. In this paper we have studied the quality and satisfaction of patient counselling through empirical study. The data collected from 228 subjects reveals that only 7.01% of the subjects have received counselling always, 59.65% think that counselling should be given and only 41.66% are satisfied with current health care ...

There are many types of strategies to be followed by managers and leaders depending on the type of problems, objectives, circumstances, privileges, preferences, advantages, constraints and opportunities. Alternative strategy and survival strategy are two important strategies which are to be used in the strategic management of organizations depending on the constraints in availability of required resources and the intensity of problems in hand. These strategies can be effectively used in the healthcare sector to manage the acute shortage of professionally qualified healthcare workers in developing countries.Despite many trained healthcare professionals our healthcare system is struggling to provide optimum services to the patients. This shortage is further increased by a high burden of infectious diseases, emigration of trained professionals, difficult working conditions, and low motivation by country governments. Even though, the permanent solution to this problem is to create more professional doctors by increasing training courses, training facilities through modifying government policies and enhancing resources to do so, such actions and resultant solutions takea long time to realize in practice. Hence a quick optimum solution is needed for alternative survival to address the critical shortage of trained healthcare professionals. Out of many alternatives, the best alternative for healthcare executives in any hospital or primary health centre is the strategic decision of thinking and implementing analternative survival management strategy called the strategy of task-shifting. Task-shifting and sharing is amanagement strategy in which the clinical care responsibilities are transferred from more specialized professionals to less specialized health workers or to parallel area professionals through proper delegation. In this paper,we have discussed the concept of Task-shifting in the healthcare sector as an alternative survival strategy used in strategic management subject. By means of reviewing the papers ...

Brick-and-mortar (B&M) retailers in India are constantly devoting their time, effort, energy, and money in discovering and adopting retailing theories, models, and frameworks that are practiced by the B&M retailers in the developed countries that have matured markets and consumers. This is a clear example of a serious timing issue. We believe the Indian market and consumers are moving towards the same maturity levels, but it is still a long way to go as the Indian consumers belong to the widest variety of religions, regions, languages, cultures, sub-cultures, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds with divergent needs. In addition to expecting world-class overall store-image, they yet require retailers to facilitate honest and authentic human-led engagement. This means, thoughtful and logical integration of existing theories aligned to, the Indian market; consumer's maturity level; divergent consumer needs are crucial, and this is the core of our theory. The ToR-b adopts elements of retailing theories that are known and suitable for retailing in the Indian context, in addition to identifying (i) new elements influencing honest and authentic humanled engagement; higher consumer-level customization; higher levels of consumer-orientation, (ii) significance of their association and determination with return on investment, (iii) their role in influencing the long-term sustainability of a retailer, and most importantly (iv) their ability to enhance interest among existing and potential employees, investors, and consumer's minds with a particular retailer. Insights from multiple empirical and qualitative studies, field experiments, and evaluation of consumer-level transactions involved in building this theory made us strongly believe that the overall phenomenon of B&M retailing in India is truly complex and complexity is necessary to an adequate description of a phenomenon. We hope that in addition to laying a foundation for new directions to guide future research on Indian retailing, our theory will ...

The drastic changes in mobile and wireless based technologies and increasing number of applications and users demanded high-security concern, which leads to research on biometrics with a purpose to increase the security aspects and to minimize security threats. The current global mindset toward terrorism has influenced people and their governments to take some special actions and be extra proactive in protection or security problems. Fingerprint image and identification technology have been in life for hundreds of years. Archaeologists have exposed proof suggesting that interest in fingerprints dates to prehistory. But the modern study reveals that fingerprint is not so secured like secured passwords which consist of alphanumeric characters, number and special characters. Fingerprints are left at crime places, on materials or at the door which is usually class of latent fingerprints. We cannot keep fingerprint as secure like rigid passwords. In this paper, we discuss fingerprint image Hash code generation based on the MD5 Algorithm and Freeman Chain code calculated on the binary image. Freeman chain code extracts all possible boundaries for an image and which gives starting x and y positions as x0 and y0. Hashcode alone not sufficient for Verification or Authentication purpose, but can work along with Multifactor security model or it is half secured. To implement Hash code generation we use MATLAB2015a. This study shows how fingerprints Hash code uniquely identifies a user or acts as index-key or identity-key.

Collaboration is most important and valuable term as well as a concept these days for each and every kind of activities, organizations and even personal affairs. Academically the popular collaborated branches are humanities and social sciences, basic and applied sciences, commerce and business sciences, and engineering and technological sciences. Among these applied sciences, engineering, and technological sciences need better collaboration and also for the reason of better manpower generation, management, and output. Universities and Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) previously interested only in the affairs of completion of training, education, and research. But days are changing as today organizations and companies are dependent on skills and hands-on training apart from sound knowledge. Moreover, organizations are seeking human resources which are multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary in nature to cope up organizational demand. India is developing as a superpower in the economy, education and democracy and trying to reach the status of developed countries as early as possible. Manpower development and industrial development are different issues and to realize these issues and concerns, many universities in India started industrial affairs in different ways into their academics. Universities (apart from INIs, and few colleges) especially private are moving towards industrial components in their feather. This is a conceptual-theoretical-review cum policy based research papers emphasizing interdisciplinary affairs in the Indian context. As a work of Techno-Educational in nature, it has provided recent trends and future potentialities in skills in academia especially collaboration emergence in Indian private universities.

India is moving towards a developed country and thus knowledge cultivation is very much required and in this context introducing new age programs and degrees are essential. This is required for the creation of next generation skills and knowledge as per industrial and organizational demands including Government etc. Data Science is about managing the large amount and complex data, moreover, it is also known as Big Data Technologies. Due to the wider requirement in different universities and organizations, many international universities have started academic programs on Data Sciences and Big Data. However, a large number of institutes are located in India but only a few offer programs on Data Science and Allied Technologies. Importantly most these are listed in Engineering Colleges and few Private Universities. Universities in this regard adopted both full-fledged degrees and specialization methods to offer the Data Sciences and Allied Technologies. This paper is theoretical and contextual in nature, but also purely interdisciplinary in nature combines with education, information technology, and managerial science to learn about the status and future of qualified and skilled manpower. However, the paper is specially focused on private universities only with a brief overview of the technologies in international universities.

Campus Placements is one of the most preliminary parameters for measuring Higher Education Graduation Outcome. As such, placement strategies of every such institution remain a matter of curiosity and debate. The Government approved National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) outlines a methodology to rank institutions across the country on basis of various critical parameters. Therefore, with a view to determine how the top-ranked institutions are successful in terms of placing total students and salary offered is studied and analyzed through this research for arriving at meaningful inferences and interpretations. An attempt is also made to explore the various placement strategies, industry-interaction initiatives, and interview scheduling practices of higher ranked management institutions of India as well.

Online educations are gaining more scope due to the busy schedule of working groups and their interest to acquire knowledge in new fields. Working group people find difficult to get admission in top institutions for their interested course due to competition and lack of time flexibility. Regular full-time university affiliated courses become lack of interest for the working group due to outdated curriculum, lack of innovation in teaching, unchanged learning and evaluation environment and lack of industry oriented advanced courses. Some institutions/universities provide short-term online courses for working people, which are liked by many working people due to its new evaluation and learning methods, advanced curriculum and industry oriented subjects. The introduction of mobile wireless communication technology modernization, innovation and globalization are increasingly driving the online education to become ubiquitous, personalized, convenient, and flexible for working groups. In this paper, we discuss based on the location how some short term certification courses can incorporate changes in curriculum. In this paper, we discuss when a particular university introduces some certification courses worldwide, how concepts, regulations or entire subject changes depending on the geographical location. At the time of registration location of the user is accepted from the user. If the registered user changes the location for more than two weeks then that is traced by GPS through the mobile phone and curriculum content changes a little bit. Initially, this is introduced only for some competitive examinations material and short term certification courses related to commerce and political science, which is slightly different depending on the location. This paper discusses how in online short term certification courses, changes in curriculum and innovation in teaching, learning, and evaluation can be implemented for the benefits of working people located in different geographical regions of the world.

The rapid development of wireless and communication technology is valid proof for the existence of 4G technology, which is proliferated through its lower generations as 3G, 2G and 1G. The evolution goal of 4G technology lies in high speed multimedia, internet services including on-demand video service, faster web browsing and downloading, which is customized, ubiquitous and flexible services. 5G technology is new generation wireless communication technology with greater services in all aspects and already evolved in some developed countries like U.S.A. In India even though many service providers launched 4G services, that are having some drawbacks like coverage or range only in a few major cities, high cost and problems in speed compared to services provided in western countries. This paper discusses the different service provider's services in terms of some characteristics like frequency spectrum, speed and network coverage etc. This paper analyses 4G services using ABCD analysis techniques based on different applications.Based on the analysis, this paper makes some recommendations to improve the 4G services in India. The widespread growth of 4G technology in India having application in diverse fields like entertainment, education, military and defence and health care. This paper could play active, supportive and a referential role in actual comparisons and research of 4G services in India.

The energy is omnipresent and it can neither be created nor be destroyed. The energy can be changed from one form to another form. Some forms of the energy is used by the human being for his daily needs. One such form is the electrical energy. Man depends on the traditional methods to generate electricity like Thermal energy, hydro electricity, atomic energy etc. The availability of such form of electrical energy is very much possible in the cities where population is more concentrated. The power supply companies under the control of the government/private sector is responsible for the energy production. The distribution of this electrical energy is done by the department like KPTCL in Karnataka which is under the control of the state government. This department finds it easy to distribute the energy to cities where population is more for a given area. But the people living in the rural places are finding it difficult to get the benefit of such facility because the department is either not showing interest in providing the service at rural places or the cost incured in providing such facility is more than the return out of it. This leads to a lot of problems to the people living in the villages in getting the service from such companies. An alternative arrangement for such people is the use of clean and green energy by using the freely available solar energy. In this paper a small village called Mala is taken as a sample village. This paper gives the geographical structure of Mala, the various waste products that can be reused to maintain clean environment. This paper also gives a cost difference in using traditional energy system and renewable energy system and time required to recover the investment done for installing renewable energy sources.
