Crisis management involves coordinating an organization's response to incidents that threaten its people, structures, operations, valuables, or reputation. It includes planning for automatic responses as well as dynamically dealing with unpredictable situations. The goal of crisis management is to minimize damage to an organization, its stakeholders, or the public. Common types of crises include natural disasters, technological accidents, confrontations between groups, organizational misdeeds, workplace violence, and damaging rumors.

DISASTER FOLLOWING NATURAL EVENTS-PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT OF DISASTERIAEME Publication
Disaster following Natural Events-Prevention and Management of Disaster. Disaster means “crises situation causing wide spread damage that far exceeds the ability to recover”. Disasters are not totally discrete events. There possibility of occurrence, time, place and severity of the strike can be reasonably and in some cases accurately predicted by technological and scientific advances. A manager needs to apply both modern management principles and a disaster control plan to handle the situation. Disasters are broadly classified as natural disaster (acts of God) and accidental disaster (man made).
Disaster management plans are traditionally made to manage disasters. Effective management of disasters requires getting information to the right place at the right time using latest technologies. Leverage learning by local organizations, NGO’s and youth is one effective tool to improve disaster management outcomes. However, there are cognitive, organizational and social barriers that prevent these organizations from learning. Organizational culture is another important aspect to enhance learning and learning literature. In this connection, this paper emphasizes the need for National Disaster Management Force at all levels of society similar to the NSS and NCC in achieving effective disaster management. The necessity of need based systems and procedures, to expedite the transfer of technology to each and every citizen of the country; to implement effective rules and regulations; to design policies; to improve interdisciplinary approach in combating disasters are discussed. An effort is made to propose a futuristic approach to cater the challenges in disaster mitigation and management for safe and resilient India.

Risk management in my own community
In my community, Community-based risk management refers to the strategies adopted by households to mitigate the impact of shocks and cope with risk. Risk can be classified as idiosyncratic, meaning one household’s experience is typically unrelated to neighboring households’, or covariate, meaning that many households in the same locality suffer similar shocks.
Key Concepts
• A local area might be exposed to a number of disaster risks. It will be necessary to understand the nature, and impact of these disasters in order to better prepare for future;
• A range of social groups may exist in a district, municipality or commune. The vulnerability of different groups may differ from each other. It is important for local authorities to understand the reasons for vulnerability of different groups;
• The communities, local authorities and civil society groups may have multiple resources and capacities to deal with disasters; e.g. indigenous knowledge, policies, disaster reduction programs, technical institutions, machinery and equipment, and social networks;
• Local authorities must identify the challenges faced and lessons learnt from the past experiences of responding to disasters;

Situational crisis communication theory (SCCT).docxbudabrooks46239
Situational crisis communication theory (SCCT)
It was proposed by W. Timothy Coombs implying that there is need for crisis managers to harmonize strategic crisis responses to the extent of crisis responsibility and threat to reputation caused by that crisis. Crisis type evaluation, history of the crisis and previous relationship reputation assist crisis managers to forecast the level of threat to the organization and how the organization’s publics are likely to perceive the crisis and respond to the crisis (Coombs & Holladay, 2012). A crisis is any threat to operations of an organization that can have significant negative effects if not handled properly. These threats could involve loss of reputation, financial meltdown or even a hazard to public safety. Coombs created an experimental SCCT that gives communicators scientific support in decision making implying that actions by an organization after the crisis depend on the situation of the crisis (Coombs, 2007).
Coombs designed strategy guidelines in response to a crisis. The first step is that information and adjustment to the information are adequate when the crisis has minimum crisis responsibility attribution (victim crises) and absence of history of identical crises prior to the reputation of the relationship. Playing victim may be used partly in response to violence, tampering with products, rumors and natural disasters (Coombs & Holladay, 2002). Strategies for reducing the crisis should be employed for any crisis with minimum crisis responsibility attribution (victim crises) and absence of history of identical crises prior to the reputation of the relationship. Rebuilding actions must be taken for a crisis with a low attribution of crisis responsibility (accidental).
Rebuilding response strategies must be used for a crisis with strong attribution of crisis responsibility (preventable) irrespective of history or previous relationship with reputation. The strategy of denying must only be used in the case of rumors when necessary. Consistency has to be maintained throughout the crisis to increase effectiveness of the response to the crisis (Coombs, 2006a). The main factor determining an effective strategic response to a crisis is understanding of the situation and the amount of threat posed by the crisis. Threat to reputation is influenced by the initial crisis responsibility, history of the crisis and previous relational reputation.
Initial crisis responsibility is based on quickness, accuracy and consistency. A response to a crisis must be provided as soon as it occurs. During a crisis, people need to know the cause and experts in crisis management usually talk of information vacuums created by the crisis. Accurate information needs to be disseminated to the public (Coombs, 2007). Any statements that are not correct have to be corrected since they make an organization look incompetent. Speaking with one voice during a crisis maintains accuracy. Consistent feedback needs to b.
The SARFAESI Act was enacted for enforcement of security. Section 13(1) of the said Act provides that any security interest created in favour of any secured creditor may be enforced, without the intervention of the court or tribunal, by such creditor in accordance with the provisions of this Act. However, Section 14(1)(c) of the Code provides that the Adjudicating Authority shall by order declare moratorium for prohibiting, any action to foreclose, recover or enforce any security interest created by the corporate debtor in respect of its property including any action under the SARFAESI Act. The Appellate Authority had analysed provisions of the Code and held that once the Resolution Plan is approved by the Committee of Creditors under section 30(4) and if the same meets as per the requirements of Section 30(2) and once approved by Adjudicating Authority as provided vide section 31(1), is not only binding on Corporate Debtor, but also on its employees, members, creditors, guarantors and other stakeholders involved in Resolution Plan, including Personal Guarantor.
Insolvency resolution by operational creditor: 'Demand Notice' and 'Financial...CS (Dr)Rajeev Babel
My Article published in ICSI IPA Insolvency and Bankruptcy Journal-March 2018:
In order to file insolvency resolution by the operational creditor, a demand notice must be served on the corporate debtor. The format of the demand notice to be served should be in the prescribed format as mentioned in Rule 5 of the I & B (Application to Adjudicating Authority) Rules, 2016. Further the demand notice shall be issued by the operational creditor himself or by the authorized person. The operational creditor shall also ensure that no dispute exist before the issue of demand notice.
The operational creditor shall also submit a copy of the certificate from the financial institutions maintaining accounts of the operational creditor confirming that there is no payment of an unpaid operational debt by the corporate debtor and such financial institutions comes within the definition given under section 3(14) of the Code.
Invoking of Section 4 of the Competition Act: First criteria ‘Dominant Posit...CS (Dr)Rajeev Babel
Section 4 of the Competition Act, 2002 prohibits abuse of dominant position by any enterprise or group. Abuse of dominance dominant position means, (i) imposition, either directly or indirectly, of unfair or discriminatory purchase or sale prices or conditions, including predatory prices of goods or service; (ii) limiting or restricting production of goods or provision of service; (iii) indulging in practices resulting in denial of market accesses; (iv) making the conclusion of contracts subject to acceptable by other parties of supplementary obligations, and (v) using dominant position in one market to enter into or protect other market.
To invoke Section 4 of the Act, the pre-condition is that the enterprise or group should enjoy the status of dominant position and there shall be abuse of such dominant position as envisaged under section 4(2) of the Act.
Rights of secured creditors under SARFAESI prevails over BRUCS (Dr)Rajeev Babel
My Article published in Chartered Accountants Practice Journal - December 2017 issue.
Section 35 of the SARFAESI Act clearly mandates that the provisions of the SARFAESI Act shall have effect, notwithstanding anything inconsistent therewith contained in any other law for the time being in force or any instrument having effect by virtue of any such law. The secured creditor, as defined under the provisions of SARFAESI Act can exercise its statutory rights under Section 13 thereof notwithstanding the fact that the borrower has got a notification issued in its favour under the provisions of Maharashtra Relief Undertakings (Special Provisions) Act, 1958, (BRU Act), which suspends all its obligations and liabilities to secured creditor.

My Article published in Competition Law Review- Nov 2017 issue:
SUMMARY: While Anti-competitive agreements are dealt with under Section 3, Section 4 prescribes that no enterprise shall abuse its dominant position. The CCI has rightly concluded that for applicability of section 3(3), it is necessary that parties are engaged in identical or similar trade of goods or provision of services. Prasar Bharti (OP-1) was a Government of India entity providing infrastructure facilities to Radio and FM operators, is treated as ‘enterprise’, while OP-2 being a nodal Ministry for Information and Broadcasting responsible for formulating guidelines can not be treated as an ‘enterprise’. The CCI held that OPs were not engaged in identical or similar trade of goods or provision of services. The CCI opined that the conduct of Prasar Bharti imposing one sided unfair terms and conditions on FM radio broadcasters, was anti-competitive.
Winding up petition by the unpaid employee whether sustainable- capj-sept 2017CS (Dr)Rajeev Babel
My article published in Manupatra's Chartered Accountant's Practice Journal, September 2017 issue.
The Trade Union, for and on behalf of the its members can certainly prefer a winding up Petition as contemplated under section 439 of CA 1956. This is for the simple reason that if the workmen have not been paid their wages and/or salary by the Company, they would certainly be a creditor or creditors as contemplated under section 439(1)(b) of the CA, 1956. Section 15 clearly mandates that the Trade Union can take up this cause for and on behalf of its members. Hence, after complying with the provisions of section 434 of the Companies Act, 1956 the Trade Union would certainly be competent to present a winding up Petition. After the enactment of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (Code), an operational creditor may also file an insolvency petition against a Corporate debtor on the occurrence of a default.

Composition scheme under the new GST regime, will be a growth driver for small taxpayers who are carrying out intrastate transaction and not doing import-export of goods. Under the normal scenario, a taxpayer under GST has to file minimum 3 returns monthly and one annual return, thus he is compelled to file 37 returns in a year or penalty will be levied for non-compliance. For small suppliers and manufacturers, it is quite difficult to maintain so detailed books of accounts on a daily basis and record every transaction with supporting documents. Whereas, in composition scheme, only a quarterly return will be uploaded under GSTR-4. The present article examines the pros and cost about the Composition Scheme.

WhatsApp is the most used consumer communication apps. In a case, presented by one of the user of the WhatsApp before the CCI, alleged that WhatsApp has infracted the provisions of Section 4 of the Competition Act, 2002 and is indulging in predatory pricing. Further the conduct of WhatsApp is in breach of the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the right to privacy.
The CCI opined that although WhatsApp is in a dominant position in the relevant market, however, the allegations of predatory pricing, have no substance and the WhatsApp has not contravened any of the provisions of Section 4 of the Competition Act, 2002 hence no prima facie case of contravention of the provisions of Section 4 of the Act is made out against the WhatsApp. The CCI further opined that the allegations of breach of the Information Technology Act, 2000 do not fall within the purview of examination under the provisions of the Competition Act.2002.
Presumption of appreciable adverse effect on competition- A case of TV serial...CS (Dr)Rajeev Babel
Section 3(3)(b) of the Competition Act, 2002, inter-alia, creates a presumption that an agreement, or practice carried on, or decision taken ,which limits or controls production, supply, markets, technical development, investments or provision of services has an appreciable adverse effect on competition and is to be treated as a prohibited agreement in terms of Section 3(1) of the Act. The Supreme Court in the case of Competition Commission of India vs. Co-ordination Committee of Artists and Technicians of W.B. Film and Television and others, had already affirmed that once an agreement falls under Section 3(3)(b) of the Act, appreciable adverse effect on competition is presumed. Therefore, if a particular agreement comes in any of the said categories, it is per se treated as adversely effecting the competition to an appreciable extent and comes within the mischief of sub-section (1).
Sarfaesi act can not override the provisions of the rent control actCS (Dr)Rajeev Babel
My article published in the Manupatra's Journal 'Chartered Accountants Practice Journal' in April 2017 issues.
SUMMARY:
SARFAESI Act does not destroy the pre- existing rights that were created prior to the creation of the mortgage/security was clearly laid down by the Supreme Court in the cases of Harshad Govardhan Sondagar (supra) and Vishal N. Kalsaria (supra) and the High Court of Bombay relied on the decision given in the instant case.
While the SARFAESI Act is concerned with non-performing assets of the banks, the Rent Control Act governs the relationship between a tenant and the landlord and specifies the rights and liabilities of each as well as the rules of ejectment with respect to such tenants. The provisions of the SARFAESI Act cannot be used to override the provisions of the Rent Control Act.
Story of dubbing of tv serial mahabharat i bangla a cs ase on competition actCS (Dr)Rajeev Babel
My Article published in Competition Law Reports-April 2017 issue.
Highlights:
The purpose of defining the 'relevant market' is to assess with identifying in a systematic way the competitive constraints that undertakings face when operating in a market. This is the case in particular for determining if undertakings are competitors or potential competitors and when assessing the anti-competitive effects of conduct in a market. The concept of relevant market implies that there could be an effective competition between the products which form part of it and this presupposes that there is a sufficient degree of interchangeability between all the products forming part of the same market insofar as specific use of such product is concerned.
When trade union is of 'enterprises' and its action of boycott is reflecting the collective intent of its members, its action would violate Competition Act, 2002 even if the union itself is carrying on no economic activity by itself. When some of the members are found to be in the production, distribution or exhibition of films/serials line, the matter could not have been brushed aside by merely giving it a cloak of trade unionism.

The purpose behind the enactment of the COFEPOSA was to provide for preventive detention in certain cases for the purposes of conservation and augmentation of Foreign Exchange and prevention of smuggling activities and for matters connected therewith. The Supreme Court, in its landmark decision very well interpreted section 3 read with section 5A of the COFEPOSA and opined that where the detention order is based on more than one grounds, independent of each other, then detention order will still survive even if one of grounds found is non-existing or legally unsustainable.
Penalty for non furnishing of information on combination under section 42 a o...CS (Dr)Rajeev Babel
My Article published in the Manupatra's Competition Law Review- Jan 2017 issue.
SUMMARY:
The Supreme Court in the case titled Chairman, SEBI v. Shriram Mutual Fund has opined that mens rea is not an essential ingredient for contravention of the provisions of a civil act. The penalty is attracted as soon as contravention of the statutory obligations as contemplated by the Act is established and, therefore, the intention of the parties committing such violation becomes immaterial. In other words, the breach of a civil obligation which attracts penalty under the provisions of an Act would immediately attract the levy of penalty irrespective of the fact whether the contravention was made by the defaulter with any guilty intention or not.
The Tribunal opined that the CCI has power to approve a combination under section 31 and such approval neither obliterates nor condones contravention, for which penalty is to be imposed under section 43A and, thus, penalty under section 43A is leviable even if combination has no appreciable adverse effect on competition. The Tribunal held that the Appellants failed to notify proposed combination to CCI as required under section 6(2), penalty under section 43A was to be imposed upon appellant even though combination was approved by CCI.
My Article published in Manupatra's Chartered Accountant Practice Journal, Jan 2017:
The Registrar of Companies has been empowered under section 248 of the Companies Act, 2013, for the removal of names of companies from the Register of Companies. This section corresponds to section 560 of the old Companies Act, 1956 and its sub-section (6) have a clause for restoration of the name of the company after it has been struck off and a time limit of 20 years from the date of struck off, has been prescribed. The prayer for the restoration of name of the company may be made by the aggrieved person (i.e. a company or any member or creditor thereof), however where the company/ its directors, itself had made the application for struck off the name, whether the restoration of the name of such company is allowable. This article narrates the circumstances under which the restoration of name can be allowed under section 560(6) of the old CA 1956.
After assignment of debts to arc no reference can be filed before bifrCS (Dr)Rajeev Babel
The second proviso to section 15(1) of the SICA, 1985 as introduced by the provisions of the SARFAESI Act applies specifically to a situation where financial assets have been acquired by any securitisation company or by a reconstruction company under section 5(1) of the SARFAESI Act. Thus in view of this a reference cannot be filed by a company before the BIFR after its debts or part thereof, have been assigned in favour of a securitisation or reconstruction company.
My Article published by the TAXMANN in Oct 2016.
Section 28 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 had drawn attention of the Law Commission of India, which was reflected in its 13th Report (Sept- 1958) and 97th Report (March 1984). The said section was amended on the recommendation of the 97th Report, by the Indian Contract (Amendment) Act, 1996, and came into force w,e,f, 8th January, 1997. This paper narrates the situation of the case pertaining to bank guarantee executed prior to this amendment. The Apex Court has very rightly observed that 1997 amendment to section 28 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, which made certain agreements covered by section 28(b) void does not purport to be either declaratory or clarificatory, it being substantive law operates prospectively.

My Article published in TAXMANN in Oct 2016.
The amortization of preliminary expenses is permitted under Section 35D of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The Supreme Court has rightly opined that once, this position is accepted and the clock had started running in favour of the assessee, it had to complete the entire period and benefit granted in first two years could not be been denied in the subsequent years.
The Apex Court also stated that where there is any dispute with employees over quantum of bonus, the amount of bonus paid to the Trust (formed for benefit of employees) and after the settlement of the dispute the trust paid the bonus amount to employees before the due date disallowance of the same, cannot be made by invoking the provisions of section 40A(9) or section 43B(b). Nor any disallowance can be made for the reason that bonus was not paid by the employer-assessee directly in cash to employees and payment was made to employees by the trust.
Forfeiture of properties of relatives of convct under safem actCS (Dr)Rajeev Babel
My article published by the TAXMANN in Oct 2016.
SUMMARY
The object of the SAFEM Act is to ensure that the properties purchased out of smuggling activities or by illegal means in violation of the provision of the SAFEM Act cannot be permitted to be enjoyed by the convict/detenu or a relative holding the property as benami. However, It is only when link or nexus of properties with convict/detenue or to income from such illegal activity is established, properties standing even in name of a relative can be forfeited. The article highlights a case recently decided by the High Court of Madras, in which Court has opined that where properties of respondent were his individual properties without any nexus to his wife, who was convict/detenue for violation of FERA, properties of respondent being spouse of convict could not be forfeited.
Whether bank acting as debenture trustee can file proceedings under drtCS (Dr)Rajeev Babel
My Article published in 'Chartered Accountant Practice Journal', Sept 2016 issue.
The definition of “debt”, has been given a very wide meaning under section 2(g) of the RDB Act, but Section 17, which prescribes the jurisdiction of the Tribunal, has not amended. Therefore, when a debenture trustee wants to file a proceedings for recovery of the amounts payable to the debenture holders or for the benefits of debenture holders, Section 17 will not apply and hence, the jurisdiction of regular civil court is not excluded. The reason is that in such a case, the bank which is a debenture trustee does not claim recovery of a debt due to itself.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. Crisis Management is the management and
coordination of an organization’s responses
to an incident that threatens to harm, or has
harmed, that organization’s people, its
structures, its ability to operate, its
valuables and/or reputation. It takes into
account its planning and automatic incident
response, but it must also dynamically deal
with situations as they unfold, often in
unpredictable ways.
3. Crises management is the process of responding
to an event that threatens the operations, staff,
customers, reputation or the legal and financial
status of an organization. Its aim is to minimize
the damage.
Crisis management is the process by which an
organization deals with a major event that
threatens to harm the organization, its
stakeholders, or the general public. The study of
crisis management originated with the large
scale industrial and environmental disasters of
the 1980’s. Therefore, the defining quality is the
need for change.
If change is not needed, the event could more
accurately be described as a failure or incident
4. Crisis management involves dealing with
threats after they have occurred, whereas
risk management is one which involves
assessing potential threats and finding the
best ways to avoid those threats. It is a
discipline within the broader context of
management consisting of skills and
techniques required to identify, assess,
understand, and cope with a serious
situation, especially from the moment it first
occurs to the point till the recovery
procedures start.
5. (i) Natural Disaster: Natural crises or disasters
are the ‘Acts of God’. They are environmental
phenomena as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
tornadoes and hurricanes, floods, landslides,
tsunamis, storms, and droughts that threaten
life, property, and the environment. For example
the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, i.e., Tsunami
was a natural crisis.
(ii) Technological Crisis: Technological crisis are
caused by human application of science and
technology. Technological accidents inevitably
occur when technology becomes complex and
something goes wrong with the system as a
whole. For example, Chernobyl disaster.
6. (iii) Confrontation Crises: It occurs when
discontented individuals and/or groups fight
with government and other interest groups to
win acceptance of their demands and
expectations. The common type of confrontation
crises are boycotts, ultimatums to those in
authority, blockade or occupation of buildings,
and resisting or disobeying police.
(iv) Crises of Organizational Misdeeds: It
occurs when management takes actions without
adequate precautions, knowing well that they
will harm or place the stakeholders at risk.
7. (v) Workplace Violence: It occurs when an
employee or a former employee commits
violence against other employees on
organizational premises.
(vi) Rumours: False information about an
