Curriculum Change, Planning and Transactionvalarpink
Curriculum Change
With changing time, curriculum should also change reflecting the needs and aspirations of the people. There cannot be a uniform curriculum for all the countries for all the time, because education is related to social, economic and political changes in the country. Curriculum content should be based on current information and not on the past information that has been proved to be false or outdated and unusable. There is therefore need for constantly changing and updating the curriculum content.

The paper examines what constitutes environment degradation and explores the negative effects of IT infrastructure on the environment. The consequences of E-waste on environment are discussed followed by green IT as part of the solution to environment degradation as a result of adoption of IT. The papers also discuss the available IT infrastructure that can be used to combat the challenges of environment degradation. The paper ends with possible IT infrastructure measures that can be used to mitigate environment degradation.
The EAUC has launched a new Green ICT Community of Practice to promote more efficient information services and reduce carbon emissions from ICT operations. Global ICT accounts for 2% of worldwide CO2 emissions, similar to airlines. While UK universities contribute a small portion, improving ICT efficiency makes environmental and business sense by reducing costs. Various regulations also require environmentally responsible disposal of electronics and batteries. The University of East London conducted a project funded by JISC that significantly reduced printing devices and usage through cross-departmental collaboration, demonstrating that greening ICT sometimes only requires cultural and behavioral changes rather than technology.

This document proposes a methodology to assess sustainable development in the context of green technology adoption. It analyzes indicators from the Sustainable Development Goals Index for 20 countries, focusing on environmental goals. It calculates an Averaging Sustainable Development Index and Normalized Sustainable Development Index for each country. Russia had the highest ASDI relative to its SDGI, indicating a positive trend in green tech. However, most developing countries showed unfavorable conditions for green tech adoption as their NSDI increasingly differed from their SDGI. The methodology aims to identify gaps between index values to contribute to assessing potential for green technology development.

Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

ATTRITION IN THE IT INDUSTRY DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC: LINKING EMOTIONAL INTE...IAEME Publication
Globally, Millions of dollars were spent by the organizations for employing skilled Information Technology (IT) professionals. It is costly to replace unskilled employees with IT professionals possessing technical skills and competencies that aid in interconnecting the business processes. The organization’s employment tactics were forced to alter by globalization along with technological innovations as they consistently diminish to remain lean, outsource to concentrate on core competencies along with restructuring/reallocate personnel to gather efficiency. As other jobs, organizations or professions have become reasonably more appropriate in a shifting employment landscape, the above alterations trigger both involuntary as well as voluntary turnover. The employee view on jobs is also afflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic along with the employee-driven labour market. So, having effective strategies is necessary to tackle the withdrawal rate of employees. By associating Emotional Intelligence (EI) along with Talent Management (TM) in the IT industry, the rise in attrition rate was analyzed in this study. Only 303 respondents were collected out of 350 participants to whom questionnaires were distributed. From the employees of IT organizations located in Bangalore (India), the data were congregated. A simple random sampling methodology was employed to congregate data as of the respondents. Generating the hypothesis along with testing is eventuated. The effect of EI and TM along with regression analysis between TM and EI was analyzed. The outcomes indicated that employee and Organizational Performance (OP) were elevated by effective EI along with TM.

By implementing talent management strategy, organizations would have the option to retain their skilled professionals while additionally working on their overall performance. It is the course of appropriately utilizing the ideal individuals, setting them up for future top positions, exploring and dealing with their performance, and holding them back from leaving the organization. It is employee performance that determines the success of every organization. The firm quickly obtains an upper hand over its rivals in the event that its employees having particular skills that cannot be duplicated by the competitors. Thus, firms are centred on creating successful talent management practices and processes to deal with the unique human resources. Firms are additionally endeavouring to keep their top/key staff since on the off chance that they leave; the whole store of information leaves the firm's hands. The study's objective was to determine the impact of talent management on organizational performance among the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The study recommends that talent management limitedly affects performance. On the off chance that this talent is appropriately management and implemented properly, organizations might benefit as much as possible from their maintained assets to support development and productivity, both monetarily and non-monetarily.
A STUDY OF VARIOUS TYPES OF LOANS OF SELECTED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS...IAEME Publication
Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%. It shows the dark area of Indian banking sector.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

Based on these observations, following questions arise:
• What is the environmental impact of ICT and need of Green ICT in Education sector?
• How has the Green ICT implementation in education sector developed in various
countries?
• What are the benefits of Green ICT implementation to education institutions?
Today ICT infrastructure generates 2 per cent of the world green house gas emissions.
Gartner Group reported that the ICT industry was responsible for more than two percent of
global CO2 emissions [3]. The purpose of this paper is to study environmental impact of
ICT and to analysis the development of Green ICT among academic institutions. It is also
necessary to change the mindset of academic professionals and forced them to adopt Green
ICT in their day-to-day life through emphasizing on Green ICT implementation benefits in
terms of economical, social, environmental and technical.
The paper will provide a brief review of the development of green ICT at various
developed and developing countries. The paper will contribute by providing number of
benefits of green ICT lead by discussion and the analysis.
This paper presents an analysis of the Green ICT implementation at education
institutes. The structure of paper is as follows. We first review environmental impact of ICT
use and Green ICT concepts. This is followed by an analysis of need of Green ICT practices
at education institutions. Then we present the development of Green ICT implementation at
various developed and developing countries. A discussion on benefits of GICT is followed
by a conclusion.
II. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF ICT
The ICT use is wide spreading around the world, especially in Asia region. The
emerging economy and technological advances will imply environmental problems due to
the sudden increment on the power request from ICT systems [4].
ICT have improved the quality of teaching and learning by providing access to a great
variety of educational resources.ICT equipment’s power consumptions and greenhouse
emissions are becoming major concerns among ICT professionals [5].
If the ICT sector continues growing at the current rate, emissions are expected to
increase by another 60 % by the year 2020[3]. Due to huge amount of carbon emissions the
ozone layer getting thinner and which is dangerous for human body. The local effects of
ICT on human health and environment are Electronic waste, Health risk (disease), Air
pollution, Water pollution, and Land Pollution. The global impacts of ICT on human health
and environment are Global warming, Climate change, Level of ocean raising,
Temperature increase and Ice Cap to shrink [6]. The revolution coming is Innovative
economy. We have to find Innovative ways to minimize above mentioned impact.
Advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) over the past few years
shown an exponential growth in technology and global presence. Hence, there is need for
solutions to optimize energy consumption in the ICT sector. Such solutions are collectively
referred to as Green ICT.

III. WHAT IS GREEN ICT (GICT)
Green Information and Communication Technology is broadly understood as an
initiative to encourage individuals, groups, and organization engaged in the use of ICT to
consider environmental problems and find solutions to them [7].At the international level, in
2005, the G8 requested the International Energy Agency (IEA) to play a strong role in
implementing the G8 ‘Gleneagles Plan of Action’ on climate change, clean energy and
sustainable development [8].Environmental sustainability is not an option- it is necessity, we
have a compelling and ever more urgent duty of stewardship to take care of the natural
environment and resources on which our economic activity and social fabric depends [9].
Green ICT has an aspect of innovation in managing ICT related to the environment. Green ICT
is broadly understood as an initiative to encourage individuals, groups and organization
engaged in the use of ICT to consider environmental problems and find solutions to them.
Green ICT is understood as an initiative to encourage stakeholders engaged in ICT activities to
address environmental problems and find solutions to them [7].
A. Definitions
Green or eco-sustainability is “the ability of one or more entities, either individually or
collectively, to exist and thrive (either unchanged or in evolved forms) for lengthy time frames,
in such manner that the existence and flourishing of other collectivities of entities is permitted
at related levels and in related systems” [10].
Keiichi Nakata extends the existing definitions as a coordination and convergence of strategy,
practice and measurement of Green ICT which addresses environmentally sustainability. Green
ICT aims to minimize carbon footprint, minimize hazardous ICT waste, reduce energy cost,
achieve corporate social responsibility (CSR), and finally comply with regulations.
IV. GREEN ICT AT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
There is increasing pressure on universities and colleges to adopt more sustainable
approaches to ICT use .This pressure need to come from government, from external
stakeholders and the public who are increasingly aware of the environmental cost. Recently
biggest challenge facing the environment is global warming caused by carbon emission. It is
very much necessary to save the environment and ultimately the earth .Use of ICT in education
is a cause of carbon dioxide emission, high energy consumption and hazardous waste
production. These pressure led education institutions to adopt Green ICT so as to minimize
energy consumption, carbon footprint, ICT waste, to maximize recycling & reuse and to reduce
energy cost. Moreover savings can be achieved by minimizing the wastage of computational
facility. With the increase in the number of institutions offering professional education, green
ICT implementation at institutions has become key ingredient to achieve cost effective
solutions.
All educational institutes need to satisfy AICTE norms as well as need to apply for
NBA (National Board of Accreditations) in India when establishing new course or running
existing course. The institutions where computer and IT related courses are conducted,
consider an Institute with yearly intake of 60 students of MCA Course. According to AICTE
norms Institute requires a Computer Lab of 30 Computers with latest configuration. These

computers become outdated after three years because at that time “Latest Configuration” will
be different [12].
Green ICT has an aspect of innovation in managing ICT related to the environment
,We(researcher) will further elaborate some of these motivations to understand why education
institutions need to pay attention to green ICT by examining three kinds of demands :
environmental, social and economic.
B. Green ICT and Environmental Demands
Generally, Green ICT issues are spoken in environmental terms due to the impact of
ICT on the environment. ICT is cause of carbon dioxide emissions, high energy consumption,
and hazardous e-waste produced toxic in nature and pose severe risks to humans and the
environment. Regarding India’s higher education systems, students and staff have increased the
number of ICT used in their day to day life. Accordingly, these pressures based on these
assessments direct institutions to adopt Green ICT so as to minimize energy consumption,
carbon footprint, ICT waste, and to maximize recycling, refurbishing and reuse. Everyone
should become Green ICT trendsetter for cultural change and savings mankind from
environmental pollution.
C. Green ICT and Social Demands
ICT has social impacts which are both affirmative and pessimistic. Even if Green ICT is
generally approached from scientific, technical and environmental points of view, a
consideration of social challenge should be addressed .In terms of education institutions; Green
ICT operates to achieve social aspects which are related to Corporate Social Responsibility.
Thus Green ICT helps education institutions to achieve social benefits like enhanced image,
higher reputation and credibility.
D. Green ICT and Economic Demands
ICT has directly affected financial cost including utilities and maintenance & operation
cost, which increase every year. The energy consumption of India ICT infrastructure is forecast
to grow by 30% to over 31 trillion-watt hours by 2014, a study of Global research firm Gartner.
Green IZCT proposes to use energy efficient equipment and reduce energy cost. As such, Green
ICT in education institutions can also address economic demands through cost effectiveness
and optimum resource utilization.
V. DEVELOPMENT OF GICT IMPLEMENTATION AT DEVELOPED & DEVELOPING
COUNTRIES
Internationally, The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCC), which came into force in 1994, established the first intergovernmental framework
aiming to tackle climate change. The Kyoto Protocol, enforced in 2005, imposed on Member
States to reduce green house gas (GHG) emissions. The commitment period for the Kyoto
Protocol ends in 2012. With many current scientific studies pointing to global warming and
climate changes caused by greenhouse gases, there is an ever increasing societal push for
renewable environmentally friendly green technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Preminda Fernando, Atsuko Okuda has studied the Green ICT in multiple meltdowns
considering Least Develop Countries (LDC) in Asia and pacific region. The study found that
approximately 7.8 Gt CO2 (Gigatonnes of CO2) emission can be reduced by 2020 through
proper ICT deployment. The study also identified that many countries in the region may not
have taken into consideration environmental impacts in designing, implementing and
evaluating ICT policies and initiatives in the region [14].
A. India Government Policy
Government policy plays a vital role in the development of green policy. At the last year
‘s Copenhagen Summit , India has committed to reduce it emission by 20-25% as compared to
the 2005 emissions levels. Government of India ministry of Environment and Forests (2011)
have developed national mission for Green India under the National Action Plan on Climate
Change (NAPCC). They have presented tentative action plan for Implementations of the Green
India mission during 2011-12 [15].Maharashtra IT/ITES Policy-2009 proposes path breaking
initiatives to promote ‘green’ IT and electronic hardware, as well as e-waste recycling [16].
B. United Kingdom (UK)
The United Kingdom (UK) is one of the first countries to focus on Green ICT policies
and strategies and UK higher education institutions are under pressure to implement green ICT
.The Climate Change Act (2008) sets a legally binding target for reducing UK carbon dioxide
emissions by 80% from 1990 levels by 2050. It also sets up the Carbon Reduction Commitment
(CRC), which requires many universities and large colleges to monitor their electricity
consumption and purchase carbon credits. There will penalties for poor performance and
rewards for good performance [17].
An online survey from 49 institutions of UK universities, which gathered 183 responses,
provided an overview of the environmental and social impacts of ICT in further and higher
education [9].
Supaporn Chai-Arayalert, Keiichi Nakata (2011) have reviewed the concept of Green
ICT and presented a framework to analyze Green ICT strategy, practice and measurement in
UK Higher Education Institutions. The study analyzed the Green ICT practices in UK HEIs
based on web based data collection in 2009 and 2011 [7].
C. Korea
The educational institutions in Korea seek to adopt responsible environmental
practices. The study conducted on ICT uses to go Green in institutional education at Korea have
evaluated blended learning system, distance online learning system and learning management
system which effects environmental savings associated with reduced commuting costs and
usage of institutional facilities [18].
D. Australia
RMIT Green ICT framework for RMIT University categorizes four general areas or
pillars of Green ICT: Life cycle, End user, Enterprise and Enablement and breaks each of these
down further. The study also presented Green ICT – Capability maturity model and determined
95
6. International Journal of Management (IJM), ISSN 0976 – 6502(Print), ISSN 0976 –
6510(Online), Volume 4, Issue 2, March- April (2013)
the maturity levels through administration of a survey which asks questions about each aspect of
Green ICT [19].Tony Chan (2010) addressed the Australian Government ICT sustainability plan
2010-2015 which outlines strategies and actions for its agencies to lower their emissions [20].
The current administration commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the Australia
country by 605 of 2000 levels by 2050.
E. United State of America (USA)
America begins a fundamental culture shift toward a truly sustainable economy and
universities will be one of the greatest sources of ideas and innovation. Cornell University has
already taking advantage of green building practices. Also the Harvard University’s Green campus
initiative designed to foster continuous improvement in cost effective green building design [21].
Glenn A. Cummings (2009) conducted a study on the behaviors of successful higher education
leadership in implementing sustainability within two U.S. community colleges and two U.S. public
research universities. The study suggested that multiple strategies that leadership can employ to
overcome obstacles and create significant institutional achievement in the area of sustainability
[22].
F. Canada
The first article which addressed sustainability practices of Canada’s higher education
institutions, analyzed Canadian universities reporting on sustainability performance, how is
information being reported, and what is being reported. The findings showed that only 7
universities published sustainability reports in the period 2006-2008 [23].
G. China
Zuqiang Wu have presented constraints that hampered the development of green schools
in China includes outmoded conventions of educators, shortage of equipment, finance and trained
teachers, inadequate environmental teaching methods and the limitations of Green school criteria.
The paper also suggested strategies to foster Green schools in China [24].
VI. BENEFITS OF GREEN ICT IMPLEMENTATION IN EDUCATION SECTOR
The main motivation for implementing Green ICT is to reduce costs. Actions to minimize
the environmental impacts of ICT use can help the education institutions in some of the benefits -
appealing to all stake holder groups: faculty, student and staff satisfaction increases, the institute
image improves in the society. Some of the benefits which are mentioned below:
E. Reduce energy cost
GICT study is beneficial for reduction in environmental impact and power bill which is
very essential for future sustainability. By following simple methods of reducing power
consumption like Power-down the CPU and all peripherals during the periods of inactivity and so
on, each institution can reduce energy cost and ultimately contribute towards sustainable earth.

6510(Online), Volume 4, Issue 2, March- April (2013)
F. Minimize carbon footprint, hazardous ICT waste:
The ICT generates large amount of hazardous waste. Hazardous ICT waste not only has
impacts on people’s health but also consumes space in a landfill .Examples of reducing ICT wastes
are recyclable or reusable equipment which can extend the ICT lifecycle equipment. Therefore,
institutions need to minimize hazardous ICT waste, which is one of the objectives of Green ICT.
GICT study is beneficial for reduction in environmental impact and cost saving which is very
essential for future sustainability.
G. Comply with regulation
The institute can comply with the environmental laws, protocols for sustainability by way
of reducing e-waste, providing healthy environment, minimizing power bill. Environment friendly
is good for the overall geo-economic condition. There is no negative of adopting Green ICT
practices, therefore no regrets. It saves the resource of the country as a whole. It is now high time
we start saving clean air, fuel sources and energy for the future generations along with saving
money and assets for them.
H. Sustenance of ICT
The Government sets targets for carbon emissions and other environmental impacts which
require strict regulations. Institutions should comply with the regulatory standards for ICT
procurement, procedures, ICT waste, ICT-related aspects of buildings, etc. Green ICT
implementation will ensure that Natural resources are conserved and are available for our next
generation to continue a way of life that is environment friendly.
VII. CONCLUSION
This paper examined Green ICT concepts and discussed the reasons why educational
institutions need to pay attention to Green ICT. The paper provides a short survey of the
development of Green ICT implementation at various developed and developing countries. This
research focuses Green ICT implementation at educational institutes with environmental
sustainability in mind that is, to contain the minimum amount of hazardous materials, to be energy
efficient during the use period of their life cycle, and to be disposed or recycled with the minimum
effect on the environment and human health.
