The document discusses challenges facing development in Northeast India, including historical issues, political unrest, and identity crises among indigenous groups. It proposes solutions like increasing government outreach to tribal communities, expanding political representation of Northeast states, and providing identity documents to help indigenous peoples feel more connected to the Indian nation. The key implementation elements are raising awareness through government officials and stakeholders like NGOs, while the hoped for impacts are greater community engagement, political stability, and economic growth in the Northeast.
Many Filipinos migrate to other countries for work due to the Philippines' struggling economy and political crisis. The cost of living is rising while wages remain low, affecting lower class Filipinos the most. Some feel the government is not addressing economic problems and is instead encouraging migration so that Filipinos can send money back to their families.
The reasons for the sharp focus on recent state elections last month could have a number of reasons. While political commentators liked to see it as report card on the central government’s performance and a bellwether for its fortunes in the general elections in 2019, it also underscored the growing importance of state performance in determining the fortunes of the economy as a whole.
This might seem somewhat obvious – the national economy has to be the sum of its parts. While that is true, the economic policy and implementation ball is now firmly in the states’ court. States are bigger spenders on capex than the federal government, in 2017-18 they will borrow more form the debt markets than the centre and so forth. The smooth implementation of GST will depend on the support and ease of implementation by states. And so forth …
The implication is that, be in domains as diverse as corporate strategy and interest rate behavior, states will increasingly start pulling their weight. It is thus important to track their economic health more closely. On our part we are bringing out a series of reports on different facets of their performance. The first, ‘The state of the states’ focuses on issues related to growth and fiscal performance.
The report involves ranking of states. While we believe that our methodology is defensible, we by no means claim that this is the ‘holy grail’ of ranking states. Ranks could be different and these differences would depend principally on the variables. However a casual glance would suggest that our ranks based only on growth and fiscal health are not wildly different from others who choose to do their exercise based on another basket of parameters.
For those interested in growth, fiscal capacity and performance, the state bond (SDL) market, recent reforms such as UDAY and ultimately their future growth and fiscal paths, we hope this report will make for some compelling reading.
This document outlines the course objectives and topics for a course on Pakistan's economic issues. The course aims to provide students with an understanding of key sectors of Pakistan's economy including agriculture, industry, financial and social sectors as well as current policies. Topics to be covered include the development of Pakistan's economy over the past 50 years, the agriculture, manufacturing and banking sectors, fiscal and monetary policy, the budget, fiscal deficit, and social issues. Recommended textbooks and resources are also provided.
This presentation discusses socio-economic problems in Pakistan. It divides the problems into social problems like poverty, illiteracy, corruption, and unemployment, and economic problems like power crises, the war on terrorism, lack of tourism, and loss of business. Poverty is a major issue, with a large population living below the poverty line in miserable conditions. Corruption and unemployment are also significant social problems impacting the economy. On the economic side, power crises, terrorism, lack of tourism, and businesses leaving Pakistan have negatively impacted the country's economy. The conclusion calls for both government and citizens to play a role in creating positive change.

3. After overcoming initial challenges around communication and bonding due to different time zones and cultures, the group proposed and tested an innovative new "hub and spoke" virtual private WAN architecture that significantly reduced costs compared to the original design, allowing McDonald's to establish its global network.
Virtual Presence Management at Magnolia Amplify Miami 2013bkraft
Today's enterprises all have a website. A manifestation of web content, text, images and multimedia, delivered across various online channels. However, the web and its users are not what they used to be and it's no longer enough to rely on static brochureware websites. These days, users demand convenient and integrated online services.
Where enterprise sites start to differ, is in their innovative use of back-end IT systems and data to develop unique online services and deliver more intimate web experiences.
By offering more online services, such as e-booking and provision of information and putting less demand on physical resources e.g. call centers and retail stores, companies can save costs and develop stronger online relationships with customers and end users.
This talk presents Magnolia's vision and the existing technology to make VPM a reality. It also looks at how VPM and WEM differ in their viewpoint.
These slides have been presented at the Magnolia Amplify Miami 2013 event, and the second part of the talk was held by Matt Arriaga of Manatee County, who presented the Virtual Presence they have built to provide more and better service to their community through the concepts and technology presented here.
Branding is important for building customer loyalty through a name, symbol or design that identifies an organization and its products. It helps companies introduce new products and creates an image for the product, while also developing brand equity that adds value beyond functional benefits by linking the product name to its function in the customer's mind. A brand name identifies a brand that can be spoken, while a trademark legally identifies ownership of a registered brand or trade name.

1) Explain how political obstacles (lack of skilled officials, instability, corruption, and constaints
by special interest groups) and cultural obstacles (cultural attitudes that discourage
entrepreneurial activity and and encourage rapid population growth) are greater barriers to
economic growth than lack of technology, education and natural resources.
(2) Many people blame special interests of developed nations for supporting political regimes
and cultural norms that prevent the success of developing nations. Explain why this might be true
and in your own words agree or disagree with this statement. Try to give a specific example of a
nation (Haiti, Iraq, Pakistan, Sudan, Zimbabwe or any example in the past).
Solution
There are many barriers and difficulties in the way of economic growth and development of less
developed countries. Development for developing nations is desirable but not achievable due to a
lot of hurdles. These obstacles are grouped into the following five categories:
A. Economic Obstacles
B. Social Obstacles
C. Cultural Obstacles
D. Political Obstacles and
E. Administrative Obstacles
Economic Obstacles:
Economic and financial barriers: Economists observed that the dominating development
model tends to focus on economic growth as precedence rather than people\'s rights or welfare,
and environmental processes and limits. This requires a shift in the worldview from treating the
environment as part of the economy to treating the economy as part of the environment;
strategically this means the economy should be adapted to ensure environmental services are
maintained.
Innovational Barriers: In the educational sector there is a lack of innovation-oriented research.
This means that there has to be a closer connection between research institutes and the economy,
which would also overcome problems concerning the knowledge transfer to applications in real
life.
Political Obstacles:
There is political instability in Pakistan; the policies of the government are also instable. Due to
political instability, rate of economic growth and development remains low in all the sectors of
the economy. Investors feel hesitation while making investment if political situation is not stable.
Mis-use of Authorities
Mis-use of authorities and powers is a big problem in the way of economic development. Mis-
use of authority leads to corruption and nepotism. Accordingly, there is no regard for talented,
intelligent and brilliant brain.
In our country, use of authorities is not reasonable. Officers use their powers for their
personal interest. They give first preference to their own benefits and second preference to the
public welfare.
Insincere Leaders
Politics in Pakistan creates insincere leaders. Political leaders have no interest with the welfare of
population but their own interest. In Pakistan rich industrialists join politics to safeguard their
industries. The Feudals involve in politics for the sake of status and power.

Regional imbalances refer to wide disparities between different regions in terms of per capita income, literacy rates, health services, industrialization, and other development indicators. Balanced regional development has been an important goal of India's development strategy to ensure that all regions can benefit from growth. However, large imbalances persist due to uneven distribution of resources, historical inequalities, and lack of adequate policy intervention. The document discusses various types of disparities, causes of regional imbalances in India such as geographical and historical factors, and consequences like migration, social unrest, and infrastructure gaps. It suggests measures to promote balanced growth, including identifying backward areas, providing incentives for investment, and establishing regional boards.
Solutions and strategy to overcome challenges of indiaPradeep Chetry
The document discusses India's development challenges as an emerging nation, including problems related to poverty, employment, agriculture, social development, and regional disparities. It emphasizes the need for inclusive growth through improving health, education, women's empowerment, and agricultural productivity to engage more people and eradicate long-standing problems. Achieving balanced economic and social development on a national scale will require coordinated efforts across government, private sector, and nonprofit organizations.
This document provides information about a university team from Jadavpur University in Kolkata that is participating in a competition with the theme of realizing the growth potential of North-East India. It discusses the historical marginalization of the region and outlines several policy recommendations to promote sustainable development, including establishing a new government body focused exclusively on development, increasing connectivity through infrastructure projects, cultural integration initiatives, and diplomatic cooperation with neighboring countries. The team's proposal is to implement more community-focused policies inspired by theories of development through capacity building and increasing options for local people.
The document examines India's policies of reservation and state division and their impact on national identity. While the goals are to promote unity, the policies can also promote division. Reservation policies aim to help excluded groups but often strengthen separate group identities over national identity. State division aims to reduce conflict but sometimes fosters new demands for subdivision instead. Overall, India has maintained unity for over 60 years, so the policies have not significantly undermined national identity, but their effects are ambiguous and depend on contextual factors in how they are implemented.
This document summarizes the growing regionalism in India since independence. It identifies several key causes for the rise in regional sentiments, including uneven development leading to feelings of neglect, self-interested political leaders exploiting regional divisions, and the failure of national parties. It discusses how regionalism has manifested in demands for new states and growing chauvinism. While regionalism can increase local representation, it also threatens national unity if left unchecked. The document analyzes the emergence of regional parties advocating for separate identities in states like Tamil Nadu and the challenges they pose to India's sovereignty and integrity.
India has undergone significant domestic transformations that have enhanced its potential role as a global power. It has experienced rapid economic growth, greater political competition, and military expansion. These changes have impacted India's foreign policy pursuits of security, regional influence, and global governance. Key will be India's ability to manage relations with neighbors like Pakistan and major powers like the US and China. If India continues economic growth and pragmatic diplomacy, it could substantially increase its international role over the next 15 years. However, setbacks like renewed India-Pakistan conflicts could undermine its trajectory.

The document discusses the economic challenges facing Appalachia and the need to engage and develop young leaders to ensure future prosperity in the region. It outlines high school and college completion rates, poverty levels, and the transfer of wealth to a new generation. Several organizations are working together through the Appalachian Emerging Leaders Network to provide leadership training, support entrepreneurship, build job skills, and give young people opportunities to address issues in their communities. Investing in the next generation of leaders is key to advancing social and economic justice in Appalachia.
Challenges of development include measuring growth accurately, promoting human development, and establishing strong institutions. Development requires economic growth as well as improvements in social, political, and economic structures. Theories of development attempt to explain how countries progress, but modernization theory was too simplistic. Development is influenced by values, natural resources, population, education, health, political stability, corruption, debt, and foreign aid. Achieving sustainable development remains difficult due to these many complicating factors.
India faces widening economic and social disparities across several dimensions, including regional, rural-urban, social, and gender divides. During the last two decades of economic reforms, southern and western states experienced faster growth compared to northern and eastern states, exacerbating regional income and development gaps. Rural areas also lagged behind as large cities prospered, resulting in widespread agrarian distress. Socially disadvantaged groups like scheduled castes and tribes gained little from new prosperity, and gender gaps persisted or widened. Unless these divides are bridged in an inclusive manner, they could have serious adverse implications for India's economy, society, and polity.
This document provides an annual report from 2013-2014 for Adarsh Shiksha Samiti, a non-profit organization in Rajasthan, India. The summary is:
Adarsh Shiksha Samiti works to empower vulnerable groups like women and tribal communities in rural Rajasthan. In 2013-2014, they organized over 746 self-help groups with 8,056 women members. They provided these groups with skill training, microcredit access, and support for income generation activities like handicrafts and dairy. This empowered women economically and allowed them to avoid money lenders while improving living standards. The organization aims to promote social justice and development for marginalized communities in their operational districts.

West Virginia faces significant economic challenges including a lack of economic diversity, an underdeveloped workforce, limited fiscal capacity, and deteriorating infrastructure. The state has the second lowest output and income per capita and one of the least diversified economies in the nation due to its reliance on volatile natural resource extraction industries. West Virginia also has chronic problems with weak labor force participation and a shortage of educated workers. Without strategic investments in workforce development and infrastructure, the state will struggle to attract new industries and improve economic competitiveness.

How can high quality “on-line teaching” be guaranteed in a business school context? Under what conditions can “on-line teaching” be a satisfactory substitute for traditional face-to-face teaching? Or is a combination of the two the most effective option for executive education?”
Instructors encourage active classroom participation because it allows students to deepen their understanding by discussing ideas with peers and teachers. Students are expected to answer questions, ask questions, comment on readings and discussions, summarize arguments, and report on small group discussions, both individually and in front of the entire class. Some courses even assign marks based on participation. While public speaking can cause anxiety over grammatical errors, instructors are more focused on meaningful contributions than perfect English.

The document recommends that Priyanka Barman choose the option to make entrepreneurs sustainable (MC) over becoming a job seeker or job creator. It argues that developing local human resources through entrepreneurship is best for the region, as natural resources exist but development is lacking due to underutilized human capital. Priyanka's experience in the nonprofit sector and knowledge of the region position her well to help entrepreneurs through an MC. Rural industries are important to the economy, and more entrepreneurs could reduce unemployment and militancy while boosting local markets. The MC could increase the number of entrepreneurs by providing needed support and guidance in viable areas like tourism, crafts, hospitality, and retail.
