Inclusive growth in India- prospects and challenges Jagriti Rohit
India’s government has made “inclusive growth” a key element of their policy platform, stating as a goal: “Achieving a growth process in which people in different walks in life… feel that they too benefit significantly from the process.” (Ahluwalia, 2007)
Primary education in India faces challenges including poor performance on international assessments, low reading levels among students, high private school enrollment rates, and no significant increase in student retention rates; the document proposes adopting an activity-based learning methodology, increasing public-private partnerships and the percentage of GDP spent on education, and enhancing instruction quality through teacher incentives and professional development to help address these issues affecting primary education quality in India.
The document outlines 10 solutions to problems facing primary education in India. The problems include lack of teachers, infrastructure constraints, sanitation issues, and more. The solutions proposed include providing financial aid and scholarships to improve access, implementing a shift system to better utilize school facilities, reforming curriculum to make it more engaging, and increasing the number of schools especially in remote areas. Emphasis is also placed on improving hygiene and sanitation in schools through dedicated routines and mobile toilets.

Sustainable financing of yes o 091215-onaolapo sulaiman bayonleOnaolapo Bayonle
This document proposes a sustainable financing model for Oyo State's Youth Empowerment Scheme in Nigeria. It suggests reengineering the existing scheme to focus on skills training and establishing Sustainable Economic Development Villages (SEDEV) where graduates can start businesses. A public-private partnership would fund this by attracting private investors, donors, and the informal sector through initiatives like "Fast4Development". The government would convert its monthly salary payments into development grants to match other funds. This sustainable approach aims to reduce poverty and unemployment through locally-driven enterprise and harnessing of resources.
This document proposes a model to enhance the quality of primary education in rural India through continuous assessment of students and teachers by a local committee.

A weather derivative is a financial product whose value is based on weather-related indexes such as temperature, rainfall, and wind speed. The most common weather measures used are heating degree days and cooling degree days, which are calculated based on the daily average temperature compared to a base temperature. There are several types of weather derivatives including swaps, collars, puts, and calls. A weather derivative is defined by the reference weather station that provides the actual weather observations, the index such as heating or cooling degree days, and the term of the contract which is typically winter or summer seasons.
A bond is a long-term debt instrument issued by companies and governments. When an investor purchases a bond, they are loaning money to the bond issuer. The issuer pays regular interest payments to the investor and repays the principal at maturity. Bonds have characteristics like face value, coupon rate, maturity date, and issue price. A trustee acts on behalf of bondholders, and an indenture agreement sets out the terms and conditions of the bonds. There are different types of bonds like secured bonds, unsecured bonds, debentures, subordinate debentures, income bonds, junk bonds, and mortgage bonds.
This document discusses weather derivatives and their emergence in the Indian context. It provides background on weather derivatives, describing how they evolved from the first transaction in 1997 between Koch Industries and Enron to address weather-related revenue fluctuations. It then focuses on the need for weather derivatives in India, where agriculture is heavily dependent on monsoon rainfall. The aim is to develop a suitable rainfall contract for the Indian market and study challenges in implementing a weather derivative structure.
Warrants are written orders issued by a judicial officer commanding a law enforcement officer to perform some act related to the administration of justice. There are several types of warrants including arrest warrants, which allow police to detain a suspect, and search warrants, which permit officers to search property for evidence of a crime. Warrants must be properly issued by a court and executed by law enforcement according to established legal procedures to be valid.
Indian Depository Receipts (IDRs) allow foreign companies to raise capital from the Indian market. IDRs represent shares of a non-Indian company and are issued by a domestic depository in India. The first IDR issuance was in 2010 by Standard Chartered Bank, which raised Rs. 2490 crore. While IDRs provide benefits like access to the Indian market, there are also challenges like tax treatment and lack of fungibility between IDRs and underlying shares. The legal framework for IDRs needs further improvements to realize their full potential.
The document discusses different group delivery models for microfinance including self-help groups (SHGs) and joint liability groups (JLGs). It provides details on:
- SHG formation which involves 10-15 local women saving small regular amounts over months until there is capital to lend within the group.
- The SHG-bank linkage program where an NGO acts as an intermediary between banks and SHGs, helping SHGs open bank accounts and obtain loans.
- JLG formation involving groups of 5 members who meet weekly and are jointly liable for loans.
- Various partner organizations and the group models they use such as SHGs, JLGs, or cooperatives.
-
Indian Depository Receipts (IDRs) allow foreign companies to raise capital from Indian investors in their home market. IDRs are issued by a domestic depository and represent underlying shares of the foreign company held in custody by an overseas custodian. Key features include being listed and traded on Indian stock exchanges, providing exposure to foreign stocks for Indian investors within the Indian regulatory framework, and allowing investors rights equivalent to shareholders such as voting and dividends. However, currency risk and lack of attendance at shareholder meetings are limitations of IDRs. Strict eligibility criteria, approvals, and disclosure guidelines regulate the issuance of IDRs in India.
Warrants give holders the right to purchase shares of common stock from a company at a fixed price for a specified period of time. They are often issued with bonds. There are different types of warrants including those attached to common stock or bonds, debt warrants, and put warrants. Convertible bonds can be exchanged for a fixed number of shares and have characteristics of both debt and equity securities. Call options give the right to purchase shares at a specified price within a set time, while warrants are issued by companies to raise capital.
Forfaiting is a mechanism where an exporter's rights to export receivables such as letters of credit or bills of exchange are purchased by a financial intermediary called a forfaiter without recourse to the exporter. This converts the exporter's credit sale into a cash sale, absolving the exporter of political or conversion risks while providing up to 100% financing without recourse. The key parties involved are the exporter, importer, forfaiting agency which is typically the exporter's bank, the importer's guaranteeing bank, and domestic export-import banks.

The document describes the bubble sort algorithm. Bubble sort works by repeatedly swapping adjacent elements that are in the wrong order until the array is fully sorted. It does this by making multiple passes through the array, comparing adjacent elements on each pass and swapping them if they are in the wrong order. The document provides an example of applying bubble sort to an array by making multiple passes and swapping elements until the array is sorted. It also includes sample C++ code to implement bubble sort.
Louise Stokes gave a presentation on how social media can be used as an integrated marketing communications tool. She discussed how companies can use platforms like Twitter to monitor consumer sentiment and address potential PR issues quickly.

Depository receipts represent ownership of shares in a foreign company that are held in trust by a domestic bank. There are three main types: American Depository Receipts (ADRs), which are issued and traded in the US; Global Depository Receipts (GDRs), which are issued and traded elsewhere; and Indian Depository Receipts (IDRs), which allow foreign companies to raise capital from the Indian market. ADRs/GDRs provide foreign companies access to international investors and capital markets. There are different levels of ADRs with increasing regulatory requirements associated with higher levels that provide greater visibility and trading opportunities in US markets. IDRs similarly allow Indian investors to invest in foreign companies.

The document summarizes research from the Office of Research-Innocenti on using fiscal policy analysis to promote equity for children. It presents a framework that integrates child-focused budget analysis, child poverty measurement, and fiscal incidence analysis. As a proof of concept, the framework was applied in Uganda. Key findings included that targeting social transfers based on multidimensional child poverty measures or monetary poverty could help reduce child poverty but with small impacts due to low benefit levels. Policy simulations found that reducing education gaps had the largest potential impact on child poverty at relatively low cost. The research aims to develop the approach into a global public good tool to generate evidence and inform policy discussions on equity for children.
This document discusses strategies to enhance primary education quality in India. It notes that India's literacy rate is only 65% despite the global rate being 80%. Several issues are identified including poverty, population growth, poor infrastructure, gender bias, and backward thinking.

The conclusion emphasizes the importance of quality education for national development and dignity.
IX. Economics. Chapter 2. People as resourceKirtiBatra5
This document provides an overview of people as an economic resource in India. It discusses how investment in human capital through education, training, and healthcare can transform the population from a liability into an asset. It describes different types of economic activities and sectors that employ people. Primary sectors like agriculture and secondary sectors like manufacturing absorb much of the workforce. Tertiary sectors related to services are growing. Government programs aim to boost literacy, health, and skills training to improve the quality of human resources. Issues like unemployment, especially among educated youth, remain a challenge.
India has a population of over 1.27 billion people as of 2014, and is poised to surpass China as the world's most populated nation in the coming decades. This rapid growth strains resources and is one of India's biggest problems. The government has implemented several national population policies and family planning programs since 1951 to encourage smaller families and control population growth.
India, a land of diversity and contrasts, has witnessed remarkable progress and growth over the years. However, this progress has not been uniform, and many of its citizens still grapple with poverty, lack of education, healthcare disparities, and various social and environmental challenges. In this landscape, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) emerge as powerful agents of change, driven by a commitment to social welfare and the betterment of communities. This comprehensive exploration delves into the fundamental need for NGOs in Noida, India, their core principles, and their indispensable role in addressing the country’s multifaceted challenges.
The document discusses inclusive education practices in India for children with disabilities. It analyzes government policies and programs promoting inclusive education. It documents good practices like community-based rehabilitation programs, teacher training initiatives, and early childhood interventions. These practices show success in creating inclusive school cultures through partnerships, accessible infrastructure, adapted curricula and teaching methods. However, more efforts are needed like improving teacher training, developing teaching materials, establishing support systems, and addressing regional disparities to fully achieve inclusive education for all children in India.

The RED strategy was implemented in 15 low-performing districts in Bangladesh to reduce disparities in immunization coverage. Key aspects of the strategy included empowering districts to conduct micro-planning, addressing obstacles like poor quality service delivery, and increasing monitoring and supervision. This led to substantial increases in immunization coverage in the RED districts, largely eliminating geographical disparities. The success of the RED strategy inspired its use for other intersectoral district development plans in Bangladesh aimed at reducing inequity.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
