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.
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 Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

• 1. Professional marketing research companies like
ORG-MARG, IMRB, TN Sofres Mode, Gallup MBA.
• 2. In-house marketing research department
• 3. Company staff from marketing/sales/customer
service departments
Each of these has got advantages and disadvantages. What could they be?
7. Typical Applications of Marketing Research
1. Segmentation Studies to identify consumer segments based on their demographic,
psychographic or behavioral characteristics.
2. To evaluate specific product-markets/segments for the potential demand
3. Positioning Studies to study consumer perceptions regarding the brand being
studied vis-à-vis competing brands

6. Distribution Research to determine convenience of shopping channels, availability
of brands and point of purchase behavior

This is only a broad listing of categories. Can you give some specific
examples of marketing research applications ?
8. When To Do Marketing Research?
1. There is an information gap.
2. The cost of filling this gap is less than cost of a
wrong decision.
3. The research will be completed in time to
help in decision-making.
9. Limitations of Marketing Research
1.It is not fool-proof, and involves some errors
associated with measurement and interpretation
of findings
2.Other inputs for decision-making which should be
used along with M.R. are corporate policy,
marketing goals, judgment, experience, intuition,
and passion
3. The results of M.R. depend on the methodology
used
10. Research Process
• A marketing research project starts with an
information need.
• It ends with an actionable report or
presentation or both.
• In between are various steps to ensure that
the marketing research project achieves what
it set out to do.

We will now consider each of these steps in detail
12. Types of Research
1.Primary Research:
• Primary research is information specifically collected for the marketing
research being done.
• Some common forms of primary data collection are personal or telephonic
interviews with customers, retailers, mail surveys of respondents, focus
group discussions, etc.
2. Secondary Research:
• Secondary research is that which is available for reference to a researcher, but
collected for some other purpose (not for the current marketing research)
• Some common sources of secondary data are newspapers, magazines, the
internet, and internal or external reports compiled or published by various
organizations
13. Ethical Considerations in Marketing Research
• Like every profession, marketing research has its own ethical code of
conduct
• Information collected for research purposes should not be used out of
context
• Confidential information should be used only by M.R. agency and the
client.
• Marketing Researcher should not be biased towards any conclusions, and
should report accurately the findings of the research study
• Respondent’s right to privacy and right not to participate in a study must
be respected
14. Emerging Issues
Marketing Research using the internet
1. It is possible to do online research using the internet, but its
validity is not easy to establish, particularly in India
2. Online research can be done using email, HTML forms, or
downloadable survey forms
3. Qualitative research can also be done through chat sessions
as a substitute for focus groups. These days, voice chats are
also be possible
15. Data Warehousing and Data Mining
1. Data from various sources-scanners at supermarkets,
surveys, billing information etc. can be stored on computer
in a virtual warehouse.
2. This stored data can be examined (mined) for correlations,
patterns of purchase, and used to design CRM initiatives to
attract existing customers or target new customers for a
given product.
3. Huge amounts of data are involved, and require hardware,
specialized software, and creative and analytically skilled
people to make use of it
16. DATA SOURCES

Purchase, Behavior,
Attitudes by analyzing
data from WAREHOUSE
Use the mined data to
design marketing or

refine/repeat the
process if needed
