This document provides an introduction and background for a research report on canteen facilities in colleges in the Nigdi Pradhikaran area. It includes the title, objectives, and methodology of the study. The study aims to understand student satisfaction with canteen facilities through a survey. The research was conducted over 1 month using a questionnaire to collect primary data from 60 students on factors like variety, quality, hygiene, price, and service. Secondary data was also collected from literature and other sources.
In economics, demand is the utility for a goods or service of an economic agent, relative to his/her income.[citation needed] (Note: This distinguishes "demand" from "quantity demanded", where demand is a listing or graphing of quantity demanded at each possible price. In contrast to demand, quantity demanded is the exact quantity demanded at a certain price. Changing the actual price will change the quantity demanded, but it will not change the demand, because demand is a listing of quantities that would be bought at various prices, not just the actual price.)
The law of demand is a microeconomic law that states, all other factors being equal, as the price of a good or service increases, consumer demand for the good or service will decrease, and vice versa. The law of demand says that the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded, because consumers’ opportunity cost to acquire that good or service increases, and they must make more tradeoffs to acquire the more expensive product.

A Study on Effectiveness of Various Sales Promotional Activities of Arpita BajajProjects Kart
Sales Promotion is a Powerful Marketing Tool. Marketing promotion helps marketers communicate information to potential customer about the products existence value and the benefits that can be accrued from it. It comprises one of the four elements of the marketing mix. Designing and effective marketing communication mix helps marketers to attract persuade, urge and remind customers of the company’s brand.
Consumers have `something' to look forward to and there is also an opportunity given to them to articulate their experiences associated with the brand. This is not to suggest that the typical sales promotion more for same price or `one free' with a purchase should never be done.
To insure an excellent promotion the marketer must create a strong connection between the consumers. The connection must relate to the brand identity, the consumer and the understanding that promotions can and still move more than sales volume.
This is a short revision video on some of the key functions of the price mechanism including the signalling and rationing function in the allocation of scarce resources among competing uses.
This presentation describes the steps in designing a questionnaire. Also includes video clips for the process in evaluating the questionnaires for its reliability analysis.

The Effectiveness of Enrollment/Academia in Public Schools vs Charter Schools.
Introduction
Public charter schools are those schools that operate under a performance contract hence that renders them free from a lot of regulations created for traditional public schools whereas making them accountable for financial and academic results. Such schools are more autonomous in school size, staff, choice of curriculum, budget, lengths of the school day and they stand accountable for charter review, and result in production. Therefore, it is important to have the study that compared the effectiveness of the two different school systems so as to establish which if the two is suitable for the American child and society.
Research questions
1. What is the financial performance doe Charter Schools exhibit among as compared to Traditional schools?
2. What academic impacts do Public Charter Schools exhibit among students as compared to Traditional schools?
3. What staffing differences do the Charter Schools exhibit as compared to Traditional schools?
Statement of the problem
Up to date, charter schools are run in 40 states with about 5000 charter schools in the entire US where more than 1.5 million students learn. The number of this kind of schools is increasing with time but they are selectively within states and mostly in the urban regions. Sometimes these schools are closed for lacing funds or posting poor performance. A debate on the reliability and effectiveness of Public charter schools in comparison with traditional schools has been there for a while. Innovation Ohio (2013) claim that charter schools tend to have unfair funding as compared to traditional schools. According to Silvernail & Johnson (2014) even though certain researchers have claimed that charter schools are better than traditional ones in terms of performance, the diversity of context, designs, financial capacity, and many other factors make it difficult to have universal results about it. Furthermore, Jefferson County Public Schools (2010) opine that since the opponents or advocates of charter schools are the ones who report about it, research studies on the effectiveness of such schools has been biasedly reported. Therefore, such as topic requires objective study of a party who has no interest in anything apart from acquiring the truth about the society.

Dear Classmates,
We have all had that handout or piece of scratch paper that we just don’t want to take with us.
We crumple it up and then what do we do with it? Do we go looking for a recycling bin in the
hallway? Or do we just toss it in the trash on our way out the door? Most simply throw it away
due to limited recycling options. We are focusing our project on looking into ways of expanding
these options in the university’s classrooms. We find ourselves qualified for this job because we
are:
● Time conscious
● Organized
● Enthusiastic about the problem
Background, Problem and Purpose
The University of Central Missouri has an existing problem of limited recycling options on
campus, and we all have an impact on this. The average American produces 900,000 pounds of
waste per year; and around half of this could be recycled (Recycling Coalition of Utah, n.d.). We
all see the need to recycle; no one will say they are against recycling. In fact, it is beneficial to
us all in various ways: economically, ecologically, and healthwise (Sawe, 2017). However, a
survey of college students finds that there is a lack of commitment from students which mirrors
a lack of commitment from universities (Emmanuel and Adams, 2011). Through research this
project hopes to discover better options for recycling within the classroom.
Proposed Plan
We will collect information from several perspectives on campus. This project will be a
collaborative effort. To make sure new members of our team are included, we will work in pairs.
Then we will meet up as a whole group to compare each member’s progress. To collect the
information required for this project, we have developed the following plan:
Interview. We will be collecting data by interviewing various people around campus such as:
● Staff
● Administrators
● Students
● Faculty

Keira Solon: spacing issue

Keira Solon: How will this project be organized?

These interviews will include simple and relatable questions so that we can get the best
possible responses. The purpose of interviewing students at UCM is to see if they recycle and
have any issues with our accessibility to recycle. Janitorial staff will be interviewed to assess
how a change in recycling practices will affect their workload. Teaching faculty will also be
interviewed to see if they have any concerns about our limited access to recycling options in
classrooms or offices. Lastly we will conduct an interview with an administrator for ideas on how
much it would cost to have more recycling options.
Survey. We will produce a survey to get a wide range of answers to have an understanding.

In the rapidly evolving global economy, women entrepreneurs are becoming a pivotal force for innovation, job creation, and economic development. This PowerPoint presentation delves into the journey, challenges, and triumphs of women in entrepreneurship, highlighting the unique contributions and the transformative impact they bring to various industries. Through a blend of statistical analysis, case studies, and theoretical frameworks, we explore the barriers women face in the entrepreneurial landscape, such as access to capital, gender bias, and work-life balance issues. Additionally, the presentation sheds light on the strategies that successful women entrepreneurs have employed to navigate these challenges, including leveraging technology, building supportive networks, and advocating for policy changes. We also examine the role of governments, educational institutions, and private sectors in supporting women entrepreneurs and fostering an inclusive ecosystem that empowers women to thrive as business leaders. By the end of this presentation, attendees will gain insights into the importance of nurturing women entrepreneurship, the potential it holds for societal and economic advancement, and actionable steps that can be taken to break down the barriers women face in the business world.
This research paper considers the understanding of the customers’ satisfaction towards and perceptions towards D-mart;. Specifically this research will seek to identify which factors effect on satisfaction.
The purpose of this study is to find out overall satisfaction towards Dmart. Some people are satisfied about price, some people about product variety. Research was done through questionnaire and discus with some customers in college campus who are customers of D-mart. Retailers have recognized this trend and are of the view that customer satisfaction plays a role in the success of business strategies. Therefore it has become important for grocery retail stores to try and manage customer satisfaction. This paper was thus developed to investigate the satisfaction levels of customers in D-mart. Data was collected from D-mart in akurdi, pune. The study examined the importance of overall dimensions and specific elements of customer satisfaction towards the measurement of satisfaction levels.
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) refers to the three main areas of concern that have developed as central factors in measuring the sustainability and ethical impact of an investment in a company or business. These areas cover a broad set of concerns increasingly included in the non-financial factors that figure in the valuation of equity, real-estate, corporate, and fixed-income investments. ESG is the catch-all term for the criteria used in what has become known as socially-responsible investing. Socially responsible investing is among several related concepts and approaches that influence and, in some cases govern, how asset managers invest portfolios.

The Indian Internet Market Dynamics and Forecast (2008-2014) report analyses the latest developments in the fast growing Internet market of India by the main players and provides a market forecast until 2014. ROA Holdings and Optimum forecast that India's internet market is to reach as high as 868.47 million users by 2014, with an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.45%. During 2008, more than 112 million subscribers were added, increasing the penetration from 20.31% to 29.76% in 2008.
In today’s market each & every firm is selling identical products, which are differentiated by
brands. The sole aim of every company is to promote their brands using different strategies in
order to earn revenue and to occupy a major market share. According to the “consumer reports” a person encounters approximately 247 images per day, but probably do not noticeeven half of them, neither gets exposed to it. This means that mere proximity or visibility ofthe message is not sufficient for the customer to notice it. Since it is not possible for thehuman brain to process so many messages all at once, the viewer often finds it difficult todecode the message communicated by the company, and thus the purpose of the wholecommunication goes in vain and gets wasted.
As the foreign companies, new technologies & consumers prospects towards innovative products, Every Electronics products are coming with internet facilities and trends towards internet usage is becoming high and high, that’s why the organisations also taking help of internet to decreasing the workload. They are extremely higher user of internet services than an individual consumer. Therefore there is a need to Internet service Providers (ISP’s) to grab this market.
In the last decades the uncontrolled impact of industrial activities on the natural
environment has created critical ecological concerns. The aggravation of phenomena like
climate change, ozone depletion, over exploitation of natural resources, air pollution, and
toxic wastes are harming the sustainable development of the planet and of the economic
system. For marketers, environmentalism has become a criterion influencing customer
purchase behaviour. Environmentally responsible consumption Follows & Jobber (2000)
emanated from criticism that the marketing concept ignored the impact of individual
consumption upon the society as a whole. Terms like green marketing and green
customer have evolved and a lot of work is being done to understand the awareness levels
of the customer, their attitudes towards the green products and their willingness to accept
and pay a premium for the green products.
Every year people living on the earth throw away enough garbage to cover a huge part of
the world. Most of the waste ends up in landfills which are very costly and which may
have a major impact on the environment and on the health of the people living on this
planet. Saving the environment has become a big issue in recent times. The messages are
being promoted as REDUCE, RE-USE and RECYCLE. The latest is that we can shop our
way to a healthier planet. Over the years, it is told to us that cool cars would make us free
and diet soda would make us popular. But there is some things money and advertising
can’t buy, and a clean environment is one of them. The hard fact is that global warming,
deforestation and other earthly ills cannot be solved by switching brands. It takes
resources to manufacture and transport all products, even those made from recycled
content. More often, it is greener to follow the old dictum: reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Even if the phrase 3Rs has been heard a thousand times before, but with the "green" word
now co-opted in the sales of services, the three R's are a phrase and a principle worth
reviving.
This study focuses on consumers and consumer behaviour in relation to environmental
friendly products. It starts from the assumption that environmental problems are closely
related to individual consumer behaviour, and that individual behaviour is one of the
major causes for the existing environmental problems. Without substantial changes, in
the long term these consumption practices present a serious threat to the environment and
to society as a whole.

Introduction of project
Canteen is a very important facility for the students through which a better standard of
food and refreshments can be obtained, when compare to the make shift hotels that spring up
around colleges. Moreover, through these canteens wholesome food and refreshments can be
provided to the students at reasonable prices so as to make available to them a balanced sand
hygienic food. This is likely to improve their health and efficiency. Canteens also serve as
places where students can meet informally and refresh themselves by a relaxing conversation.
The canteens are also an instruments of social change, as the students belonging to different
castes will have to sit at the same tables and take their food. Thus, a canteen can help in
improving the morale of the students. Further, the availability of the food stuffs within the
college area reduces the botheration and saves time of the students, otherwise they will have to
go out of the college. In this context the Colleges in Nigdi Pradhikaran area are observed.
“Besides good environment and ventilation, adequate dining accommodation is also an essential
requirement for the students. It is necessary that such accommodation should be more ample for
students.”

Research Objectives
The research objectives were discovered through the conversation that canteens are most
important part in college life.
Finding thus, based on the additional conversation, the research questions were converted into
the following primary objectives:
When primary objectives were achieved, a clearer picture was established about the how
canteen facilities effect on students.
Primary Objective
1. To study the student satisfaction level about the canteen facilities
Secondary Objectives
1. To understand the canteen facilities for the suggestion.
2. To examine the extent of students towards canteens in colleges.
This allows the researcher to make recommendations that students and canteens find
relevant, useful and possible to implement, or to be used as a base for further research.
Why you have chosen this company & this project
As in India peoples’ approach towards education is increasing day by day. Therefore it is
mandatory for educational institutions to look forward about the canteen facilities provided by
them and maintain a clean and hygiene ambience.

Literature Review
(Bell and Swinburn 2004).
College canteens are an important influence on Student’s diets as they can be the source of a substantial
proportion of Student’s daily nutrition on school days.
(Kanarek 1997)
As a result, the food products sold in canteens can directly influence weight outcomes as well as have an
impact on school performance through students’s energy levels and ability to concentrate.
(Bell and Swinburn 2005)
The provision of unhealthy foods in canteens leads stundent to believe that these products are appropriate
for daily consumption.
In this area there was no research conducted before. So we don’t have any secondary data to work on it.
Significance of the Research
Canteen is not just the place where we go to eat. Especially in colleges and institutes of
education this place is an open arena for debate, argumentative sessions on different issues,
passing of love-letters, cracking gossips, kidding and having loads of fun with tea, coffee and
coke in between as gap fillers.
It is the force of double 'f' that drives us to come to a canteen as often as we can. Food and
friends- both initiate with 'f' and canteen is the union zone for the two. College canteens build up
an ambience of rendezvous where we would love to spend all day with pals keeping away all
hassles of mundane living.
Canteen can be otherwise referred to be a cafeteria. Rush to it after the class gets over and it's not
like taking a diet conscious meal. Rather we would love to take the bite of some handsome
snacks. Tits and bits and something that our mamma will scold of are things we really love to
have in the canteens. Chips and soft drinks we begin with and then it can be sizzlers, potato
fingers, fish rolls, sometimes Chinese cuisine and chocolate drinks. Countless cups of tea and
coffee and the counter boy get paid at the end of the day.
Moreover the whole canteen session is fun because it's much related with sharing and caring. In
most cases it has been seen that a collective fund is raised for tea and snacks where each one has
a weekly or monthly contribution. Therefore canteen is something that brings we close. We can
shed off your depressions and frustrations when we are around the college canteen because it's a
land of charm, rejoice and always in motion. The drabbest may sound the brightest in the canteen

Research Methodology
RESEARCH PROCESS
Research exercise may take many forms but systematic enquiry is features common to all such
forms. Being a systematic enquiry, it requires careful planning of the orderly investigation
process.
STAGES IN THE RESEARCH PROCESS
In planning and designing a specific research project, it is necessary to anticipate all the steps
that must be undertaken if the project is to be successful in collecting valid and reliable
information.
The steps of research process are highlighted in the following flow diagram.

RESEARCH DESIGN IS CLASSIFIED AS FOLLOWS
Research Type
The type of research conducted for this SPSS Research project is Descriptive Research.
Descriptive Research Design:
It includes surveys and fact finding enquiries of different kinds. It is a fact- finding
investigation with interpretation. It is the simplest type of research, and is more specific than an
exploratory study, as it focuses on particular aspects of the problem being studied, so research
design used for this project was descriptive research design.
Descriptive research method was the best method applicable to the existing problem mentioned
in this project report.

1. Sample Design
Sampling
An integral component of a research design is sampling plan. Specifically, it addresses three
questions:
1) Whom to survey (the sample unit)?
2) How many to survey (the sample size)? &
3) How to select them (the sampling procedure)
Making the entire universe will be impossible on the account of limitation of time and money.
Hence sampling becomes inevitable. A sample is only a portion of the universe of population.
According to Yule, “The object of sampling to get maximum information about the parent
population with minimum efforts. Properly done procedures are the representative data of the
entire population”.
Sampling Unit
A decision has to be taken concerning a sample unit before selecting sample. Sample unit
may be geographical one such as State, District and Village etc. The researcher will have to
decide one or more unit that has to select for his study
Sampling Methods
Probability sampling is known as random sampling or chance sampling. Under this sampling
design every item of the universe has equal chance or probability.
Sample random sampling
Systematic sampling
Stratified sampling
Cluster and Area sampling
Sequential sampling
Multi stage sampling
Non Probability Sampling is also known as deliberate sampling, purposive and judgmental
sampling. Non probability samplings are those that do not provide every item in the universe
with a known chance of being include in the sample. Non probabilities are of following types:
Convenience sampling
Quota sampling
Judgemental sampling
Panel sampling

2. Collecting the data
The data collection process follows the information of research design including the sample plan.
Data, which can be secondary or primary, can be collect using variety of tools. These tools are
classified into two broad categories, the observation method and the survey methods, all of
which have inherent advantages and limitations.
a) Primary Data
In most research areas, field survey is commonly used to collect primary data from the
respondents. Surveys can be
1) Personal Interview
2) Questionnaire
It is common practice to use structured questionnaires prepared in advanced, to elicit the
necessary from the respondents. Whether it is personal or mail survey, it is necessary to design
suitable questionnaire, conduct a pilot survey and undertake a pre-testing of the questionnaire.
In this project report, primary data is collected through questionnaire by personal
interaction method
b) Secondary Data
Secondary data means data that are already available, it means which have already been
collected and analysed by someone else. When research utilizes secondary data, research has to
look into various sources from where researcher can obtain data; usually data published is
available in
a. Technical & trade journals;
b. Books, magazines and newspapers;
c. Reports and publications of various associations connected with
Business and industry;

FINDINGS
1. Students have very positive attitudes toward green Canteen Facilities. Lifestyles of Indian
Students are changing and, given the increased interest in quality, service is likely to be well
received by Students.
2. Students considered that all the canteens are not equally capable of contributing to the overall
facilities because of their varied natures.
3. The importance of quality to students must never be forgotten while giving facilities to them. If
students believe that a college canteen has reduced the quality of the products they receive, they
will not accept the foods and facilities.
4. As research reveals, Students are present in the colleges and they would like to have a food in
their premises as well. Researcher wants to identify them as the satisfied consume. As they are
more in numbers prospects are quite positive for canteens in Nigdi Pradhikaran area.

Conclusion
As the students attitude towards education has changing, colleges and their canteens must provide
healthy and quality food to students.
If the students are satisfied about quality, variety and environment of the canteens then they will not
go anywhere out of the college premise to get their food.
Ultimately Canteens requires that Students want a quality food, environment and are willing to "pay"
for it, possibly through higher priced foods, until this occurs it will be difficult for canteens to get
benefit.
