Beginning with an overview of the distribution and utilization of healthcare facilities in developing countries, this book presents an in-depth investigation of the role they play in Mau district, India. It analyses primary data collected through a sample survey of 680 households selected from 31 villages and two urban centres of Mau district. It then moves on to discuss the conceptual and theoretical framework of healthcare facilities, throwing light on the variation in their availability, accessibility and affordability. The book then considers the distribution of healthcare facilities, focusing on their spatio-temporal change and rural-urban variations, before moving on to addressing the relationship between the socio-economic characteristics of inhabitants and their utilization pattern of healthcare facilities in the area studied.

In this paper, we propose and analyze a nonlinear mathematical model to study the effect of skill development on unemployment. We assume that government promulgates different levels of skill development programs for unemployed persons through which two different categories of skilled persons, namely, the low-skilled and the highly-skilled persons, are coming out and the highly-skilled persons are able to create vacancies. The model is studied using stability theory of nonlinear differential equations. We find analytically that there exists a unique positive equilibrium point of the proposed model system under some conditions. Also, the resulting equilibrium is locally as well as globally stable under certain conditions. The effective use of implemented policies to control unemployment by providing skills to unemployed persons and the new vacancies created by highly-skilled persons are identified by using optimal control analysis. Finally, numerical simulation is carried out to support analytical findings.

The concept of Glocalization is derived from that of globalization and localization and signifies that companies should not only think globally but also act locally while addressing business functionalities including branding, marketing, advertising and product promotion. Food industry, of India and World is witnessing unprecedented increase in the number of multinational enterprises. These multinational enterprises, when deciding to expand their operations to a new country, have to make a choice between following uniform business strategies as in their home country or modify their strategies to suit the host country socio-economic and political environment. Recently, many multinational food giants have successfully penetrated into emerging markets due to their product or service quality but there are cases where companies have failed to earn profits due to lack of Glocalization strategies. This paper focuses on multinational food Enterprises (MNFEs) and identifies suitable Glocalized strategies in marketing, product development, advertisement etc. establishing themselves and gaining market share in a diverse country like India.

Introduction: Mental health concerns and treatment usually take a backseat when the limited resources are geared for pandemic containment. In this global humanitarian crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health issues have been reported from all over the world. Objectives: In this study, we attempt to review the prevailing mental health issues during the COVID-19 pandemic through global experiences, and reactive strategies established in mental health care with special reference to the Indian context. By performing a rapid synthesis of available evidence, we aim to propose a conceptual and recommendation framework for mental health issues during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A search of the PubMed electronic database and google scholar were undertaken using the search terms 'novel coronavirus', 'COVID-19', 'nCoV', SARS-CoV-2, 'mental health', 'psychiatry', 'psychology', 'anxiety', 'depression' and 'stress' in various permutations and combinations. Published journals, magazines and newspaper articles, official webpages and independent websites of various institutions and non-government organizations, verified social media portals were compiled. Results: The major mental health issues reported were stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, denial, anger and fear. Children and older people, frontline workers, people with existing mental health illnesses were among the vulnerable in this context. COVID-19 related suicides have also been increasingly common. Globally, measures have been taken to address mental health issues through the use of guidelines and intervention strategies. The role of social media has also been immense in this context. State-specific intervention strategies, telepsychiatry consultations, toll free number specific for psychological and behavioral issues have been issued by the Government of India. Conclusion: Keeping a positive approach, developing vulnerable-group-specific need-based interventions with proper risk communication strategies and keeping at par with the evolving epidemiology of COVID-19 would be instrumental in guiding the planning and prioritization of mental health care resources to serve the most vulnerable.
