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.

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.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Vidura, a wise character in the history of Ancient India provides a deeper analysis of why
a certain detrimental character is depicted by such bad persons. Having adorned the position
of a responsible Prime minister of the Kuru dynasty, he tries his best to educate the King
Dhrutharastra who tries to get out of balance due to miseries of his bad son Duryodhana and
gets inclined in supporting their jealous intentions.
A lot of theoretical framework came for understanding peak experiences by combining the
development psychology of west with the growth of higher consciousness or enlightenment as
explained in the true Vedic knowledge of India [Harald 2012 - 12]. It was felt that a deeper
study of reflection from cultural roots in the eastern philosophies would guide in gaining
competitive advantage. Additionally the western management thoughts have found that
eastern philosophies have a lot to add due to the fact that their history is vast and reflection of
the past would provide innovative and yet simple thoughts to leaders in improving their
leadership performance.
Vidura mentions that a Leader’s basic duties are:
• To Strive for the prosperity of all his subjects.
• Will look after people who are in distress.
• Is kind to all human beings, irrespective of their cadre.
• Will never impede the growth and development socio-economic activity in his organization.
• Is always ready to protect those who are dependent on him.
• He overcomes the trap of lust and extinguishes anger.
• He ensures that wealth is distributed to deserving recipients.
• He is discriminative, knowledgeable and earns respected.
• He who desires success in matters connected with worldly profit should practice virtue from
the beginning.
• Prosperity takes its birth in good deeds.
• A leader must avoid the friendship of the sinful
• A leader should not misuse wealth of his organization
• A leader should be soft spoken and avoid harshness of speech
• He should have good sense of control.
Here we discuss how the above duties are linked to spiritual traits and have an impact on
leader’s performance.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Louis W. Fry et al [2] discussed issues regarding workplace spirituality due to its increased
attention in the organizational sciences. The implications of workplace spirituality for
leadership theory, research, and practice make this a fast growing area of new research and
inquiry by scholars. He tested the dynamic relationship between spiritual leadership and
spiritual wellbeing and key organizational outcomes in a sample of emerging military leaders.
Using structural equation modeling (SEM), results revealed a positive and significant
relationship between spiritual leadership and several unit-level outcomes, including
organizational commitment and four measures of performance.
A four factor model of Spiritual Intelligence is proposed by David [3]. He begins with an
84- Item Spiritual Intelligence Self Report Inventory (SISRI) in Study 1 with a 619
undergraduates. A series of exploratory factor analyses leads to a reduced 39-item scale.
Study 2 starts with 305 undergraduates and involved a confirmatory factor analysis which
resulted in the removal of additional scale items in order to obtain adequate model fit. The

final version of scale, the SISRI-24, displays excellent internal reliability and good fit to the
proposed four factor model of spiritual Intelligence.
Kinjerski & Skrypnek [4] present an empirically grounded, human ecological model of
spirit at work specifying antecedent conditions and outcomes of spirit at work. Four distinct
paths to spirit at work are identified: always there, coming together, transformative event, and
contextually sensitive. These paths are affected by individual factors and contextual factors
that contribute to the experience of spirit at work.
Chakraborty et al [5] explored to greater detail that Spirituality pervades every sphere, be
it business, management, governance, health care, or any other secular engagements. Many
illustrations are provided from history of spiritually inspired leadership practices that provide
positive inspiration to the Indian business and everyday life. The Spiritual experiences that
lead to immense leadership performance of some TOP CEO’s to historically prominent
characters like Harshavardhana, Kautilya, Kalidasa and Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita are
quoted here.
Dong Levinick, Fred Kiel[6] indicate that four principles are vital for personal and
organizational success. Each individual in an organization looks for success and a milestone
for his or her career. Every job that is done will have innumerable challenges and the key lies
in how it is delivered to its customers – Internal and external – and makes all its stakeholders
successful.
3. GAPS IN THE STUDY
In all the above literature, while spiritual traits have been discussed at different levels with
different types of target segment, there is no mention as how it could be traced back to its
root. In the wake of economic crisis in the world, companies from the emerging economies
are among the leaders in the growth and innovation and there is a transition phase from “West
leads East’ to ‘West meets East’ [7].
4. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
This study is a step toward understanding and introspecting Vidura Neeti that reflect and
enrich a leader’s performance. We design:
• A model to analyze Spiritual traits of a leader as propounded by Mahatma Vidura.
• Compare and contrast characters based on reflection from Vidura Neeti.
• List the spiritual attributes that contribute to modern day leadership
5. METHODOLOGY
In the proposed model we discuss the conceptual way in which spiritual traits affect the
Leadership performance in Indian IT Sectors.

Pandavas to Camphor like
house.
5 Simplicity- Being a PM,
always behaved like an
ordinary human being
Sleeplessness: Who is
sleepless? Gives the depth
and breadth of this character
which a leader should avoid-
a. One who has coveted the
wealth of others like a thief
always stays awake in night
and is sleepless.
b. One who has lost all his
wealth including his shelter
c. Lustful person – Heavily
indulged in illicit sex
Avoid the reasons for
sleeplessness

misused his position and
stamped his superiors. He
was respected by all and
had the highest portfolio.

7 Upheld the dharma/
Righteousness
Forced to Support Adharma Ready to sacrifice bad
qualities or persons to
protect good qualities or
persons.
8 Stood up to strongly
condemn any bad events
that came to his notice. He
strongly protested
unethical acts and if
beyond control, staged a
walkout, irrespective of
who did the act – He
called a spade a spade and
did not care about the
consequence. Was
cognizant of the fact that
he worked in a kingdom
where he was looked
down due to his candid
nature.
Never condemned any bad
events or acts from his
children due to attachment.
Dhrutarastra is a concept
that we need to peel out of
ourselves and instill the
concept of Vidura Neethi in
us. When such a noble
character like Vidura was
belittled by Duryodhana, he
kept down his bow/ arrow
and left the kingdom. He
left a message that having
served the kingdom, they
need not have fear that he
will come back and
conquer
9 Kindness to all creatures. Kind only for his bad sons We need to be kind to
everyone irrespective of
caste and cadre

15 Critical traits are
Simplicity, Truthfulness,
Self-restraint, Patience,
Honesty, Charity,
steadiness, Humility,
Faith, Exertion,
Forbearance, Sweetness in

All these critical traits were

Try to cultivate the critical

Never abide by his words for

Walk the talk
17 Always sets a example for
others to follow like Lord
Rama
Never sets a example for
others to follow by always
listening to Shakuni and
Kauravas
We always have to set a
good example within the
society with our good deeds
18 Attained Salvation by
going on a pilgrimage, met
holy saints at the holy
Ganges, got the eternal
message from Lord
Krishna.
Even after losing all his 100
sons he never realized his ill
deeds . Finally Vidura
guided him to attain
Salvation
We need to get the eternal
message from Lord
almighty during our last
days.
19 He knew that Dhrutarastra,
after losing all his 100
sons will realize his ill
deeds. So after the
Kurukshetra war, he
decided to come back not
to rule, although offered a
red carpet welcome by the
Pandavas but to utter wise
words to the king and his
companions.
After the Kurukshetra war,
he decided to stay with
Pandavas to lead luxurious
life he had earlier
Whether you have money
or not, power or not always
follow the path of Dharma
and be humble at every
stage of our life
20 Like a spiritual
enlightened soul, he
cautioned the king that he
had no right to stay at a
place where he was treated
like a dog and took them
back for pilgrimage.
Even after losing his 100
sons to Bheema, he took
shelter at Pandavas and
continued to live with them
Vidura enlightened
Dhrutarashtra to leave the
kingdom and not live like a
dog.
21 He was followed by
Mother Kunti, the pearl of
Pandavas, Gandhari and
attained salvation.
He and his wife had no other
option but to lead the life of
a dog due to misdeeds.
Finally the wrong have to
realize that no one is
permanent here. It is only
the good deeds that follow
one and nothing else

6. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Ancient Indian history has a wealth of contribution to Spirituality and reinstates successful
leadership Behavior. The qualities of a spiritual leader are well explained by Lord Krishna in
Bhagavad Gita, which is the quaint essence of Mahabharatha. Mahatma Vidura, a personified
character of spiritual leadership in Mahabharata, has exemplified these qualities to a greater
detail. The concept of spiritual leadership has strong theoretical ground. These attributes have
a strong correlation with the spiritual leadership.
