Objectives and Importance of Green Accounting System in Indiaijtsrd
Environmental Changes are a global problem which requires a global solution. It has potential to slow our economic growth. The Green Accounting term was first introduced into common usage by economist and Professor Peter Wood in the 1980s.The green accounting provides information about the use, impact, status, and value of natural resources in a country. The Green accounting system is considered one of the important management systems to enable improvement of economic and environmental performance of a business firm. In this article, I am trying to explain its meaning, objectives and importance of Green Accounting System. Prof. Piyush. M. Modi "Objectives and Importance of Green Accounting System in India" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-3 | Issue-6 , October 2019, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd29201.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/management/accounting-and-finance/29201/objectives-and-importance-of-green-accounting-system-in-india/prof-piyush-m-modi
Want to be indispensible and highly marketable professionally? Be a source of new ideas and knowledge.

We are on a mission to make the world a more innovative and prosperous place, one community at a time.
We believe that entrepreneurs are critical to driving a strong global economy and a better world. We do our part by supporting the grassroots leaders who are at the core of every strong entrepreneurial community
Clustering has long been recognized as a key tool for fostering regional growth and economic development. However, like ‘innovation’ clustering has become a somehow blurry concept that many talks about and use in various connections. In this presentation, Jakob will take you through an essential ‘clusters what and why session’ discussing some of the key questions, which are crucial for all being involved in with cluster development: What are clusters more exactly, how do they occur, what are the dynamics and key factors driving strong clusters, can we create clusters, and what are the differences between ‘clusters’ and ‘cluster initiatives’? Most importantly, Jakob will also discuss if clusters and clustering really matters: Do clusters actually forge economic and regional development and why should we aim for cluster development at all?
This presentation from Gary Gereffi, Director of the Duke University Center on Globalization, Governance & Competitiveness, covers four main areas:

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

philosophers, both when they are right and when

commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled
by little else. Practical men, who believe
themselves to be quite exempt from any
intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of
some defunct economist. Madmen in authority,
who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy
from some academic scribbler of a few years back.
I am sure that the power of vested interests is
vastly exaggerated compared with the gradual
encroachment of ideas.

legions of entrepreneurs and tinkerers swap designs

source: Mazzucato (2013), p. 109, Fig. 13
16. Microchips powering the iPhone owe their emergence to the U.S. military and space
programs, which made up almost the entire early market for the breakthrough
technology. In the 1960s, the government bought enough of the initially costly chips
to drive down their price 50x in a few short years, enabling numerous new
applications.
The early foundation of cellular communication lies in radiotelephony capabilities
advanced throughout the 20th
century with support from the U.S. military.
The technologies underpinning the Internet, which gives the “smart phone” its
smarts, were developed and funded by the Defense Department’s Advanced
Research Projects Agency in the 1960s and 70s.
GPS was created/deployed in 1980s/90s by the military’s NAVSTAR satellite program
and still today maintained via public funds
The multi-touch display that makes using an iPhone so intuitive has the
government’s fingerprints all over it. The revolutionary interface was first developed
by a brilliant pair of University of Delaware researchers supported by NSF and CIA
grants

CDB key in China’s 2020 goal of producing 20% energy from renewables.
5 year plan includes $1.7 trillion dollars in 5 new (green) sectors.
CDB founded CDB Capital, a ‘public equity’ fund with $US 5.76 bn to
finance innovative start-ups from the energy and telecom sectors.
Yingli Green Energy received $1.7 bn from 2008 through 2012 with a $5.3
bn line of credit opened for it.
Since 2010, CDB has made available $47.3 bn in credit lines for Chinese
wind and solar energy companies and other $30.6 bn for clean energy
transmission, distribution and efficiency investments.
In 2010, the list of Chinese alternative energy technology companies
receiving CDB lines of credits included LDK Solar ($9.1 bn); Sinovel Wind
($6.5 bn); Suntech Power ($7.6 bn); and Trina Solar ($4.6 bn), which

costs” of renewable energy technologies

Talent/expertise (in public sector) crucial
Need symbiotic public-private partnerships.

Financialization not good for Innovation!
31. A key element to get an energy breakthrough is
more basic research. And that requires the
government to take the lead. Only when that
research is pointing towards a product then we can
expect the private sector to kick in.

32. 2010: US American Energy Innovation Council (AEIC) asked
for 3x spending on clean technology to $16 billion annually,
with an additional $1 billion given to the Advanced Research
Projects Agency for Energy (ARPA-E)
Yet 7 companies that form AEIC have together spent $237
billion on stock repurchases between 2001-2010.
Look out Green!
33. THE GREAT TRANSFORMATION
From CROWDING-IN to TRANSFORMING-IN
From PICKING WINNERS to WIN SOME LOSE SOME
From SUPPLY OF FINANCE to QUALITY OF FINANCE
SYMBIOTIC vs PARASITIC ECO-SYSTEMS
From DE-RISKING to SHARING RISKS AND REWARDS
36. Are taxes enough?
•IPR golden share
•Income contingent loans
•Retain some equity (e.g. SITRA with Nokia)
•% payback into an ‘innovation fund’
Lessons from Solyndra and Tesla: win some lose some.
How to cover the losses and have enough for next round?
And where will the money come from?
39. “I have worked with investors for 60 years and I have yet to see
anyone — not even when capital gains rates were 39.9 percent
in 1976-77 — shy away from a sensible investment because of
the tax rate on the potential gain. People invest to make money,
and potential taxes have never scared them off. And to those
who argue that higher rates hurt job creation, I would note that
a net of nearly 40 million jobs were added between 1980 and
2000. You know what’s happened since then: lower tax rates
and far lower job creation.”
And….why did capital gains fall in 1976? VC from IT!
Are renewables creating different ‘narrative’?

41. “The important thing for Government is not to do
things which individuals are doing already, and to
do them a little better or a little worse; but to do
those things which at present are not done at all.”
