The document discusses the World Trade Organization (WTO) and its impact on the Indian economy. It provides background on the establishment and objectives of the WTO. While WTO membership has increased exports and foreign investment for India, it has also posed challenges. The agreement on intellectual property rights and increased competition from foreign firms in sectors like pharmaceuticals and services have been unfavorable for India's economy. Overall, the WTO both benefits and disadvantages India's trade.

Balance of Payment Disequilibrium and CausesNeema Gladys
1.Balance of Payment
The balance of payment of a country is a systematic accounting record of all economic transactions during a given period of time between the residents of the country and residents of foreign countries.
2.Componets of BOP
Current Account
It includes imports and exports of goods and services and unilateral transfer of goods and services.
Capital Account
Under this are grouped transactions leading to changes in foreign assets and liabilities of the country.
3. Accounting Treatment of Items (Debit and Credit Items)
Any item which gives rise to a sale of foreign exchange (an inflow) is recorded as a credit item (+) in the accounts e.g. export of goods and services
Any item which gives rise to the purchase of foreign exchange (an outflow) is recorded as a debit item (-) in the accounts e.g imports of goods and services.
4. BOP Disequilibrium
BOP is a double entry accounting record, then apart from errors and omissions, it must always balance.
The BOP deficit or surplus indicate imbalance in the BOP.
This imbalance is interpreted as BOP Disequilibrium.
A country’s balance of payments is said to be in disequilibrium when its autonomous receipts (credits) are not equal to its autonomous payments (debits).
5.BOP Deficit
A deficit or an unfavorable balance exists when the value of autonomous debit items exceeds the value of autonomous credit items.
6. BOP Surplus
A surplus or a favourable balance exists when the value of autonomous credit items exceeds the value of autonomous debit items.
Globalisation means integrating the economy of a country with the world economy.
In India, the process of globalisation picked up with the policy reforms of 1991.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

Alert-driven Community-based Forest monitoring: A case of the Peruvian Amazon
Wto and its impact on indian economy
1. WTO and its impact on
Indian economy
Presented By :Dudhat kenal S.
En. No. : 08

2. What is the World Trade
Organization?
“The World Trade Organization is
‘member-driven’, with decisions taken by General
agreement among all member of governments and it
deals with the rules of trade between nations at a
global or near-global level. But there is more to it
than that.”
3. They deal with: agriculture, textiles and clothing,
banking, telecommunications, government purchases,
industrial standards and product safety, food
sanitation regulations, intellectual property, and much
more.
The WTO agreements are lengthy and complex
because they are legal texts covering a wide range of
activities.
4. Introduction
• The World Trade Organization (WTO) is an
organization that intends to supervise
and liberalize international trade. The WTO is the
only global international organization dealing with
the rules of trade between nations.
• At its heart are the WTO agreements, negotiated and
signed by the bulk of world’s trading nations and
ratified in their parliaments. The goal is to help
producers of goods and services, exporters and
importers conduct their business.
5. • The WTO superseded and replaced the GATT which
was a provisional, multilateral agreement governing.
• international trade from 1947 until Jan 1, 1995.
• The WTO has larger membership than GATT.
• the number of members stand at 153.
• India is one the founding members of the WTO.
6. WTO: The Beginnings/ History
• The World Trade Organization (WTO) came into
being on January 1st 1995. It was the outcome of the
lengthy (1986-1994) Uruguay round of GATT
negotiations. The WTO was essentially an extension
of GATT.
• It extended GATT in two major ways. First GATT
became only one of the three major trade agreements
that went into the WTO (the other two being the
General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) and
the agreements on Trade Related Aspects of
Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS)).
7. Cont...
• Second the WTO was put on a much sounder
institutional footing than GATT. With GATT the
support services that helped maintain the agreement
had come into being in an ad hoc manner as the need
arose. The WTO by contrast is a fully fledged
institution (GATT also was, at least formally, only an
agreement between contracting parties and had no
independent existence of its own while the WTO is a
corporate body recognized under international law).
8. Information
Established: 1st January 1995.
Created By: Uruguay Round negotiations (1986-1994)

9. Objective of WTO
• The primary aim of WTO is to implement the new
world trade agreement.
• To promote multilateral trade .
• To promote free trade by abolishing tariff & non-tariff
barriers.
• To enhance competitiveness among all trading
partners so as to benefit consumers.
10. • To increase the level of production & productivity
with a view to increase the level of employment in
the world.
• To expand & utilize world resources in the most
optimum manner.
• To improve the level of living for the global
population & speed up economic development of the
member nations.
• To take special steps for the development of poorest
nations.
11. Functions of WTO
• Implementing WTO agreements & administering the
international trade.
• Cooperating with IMF & World Bank & its associates
for establishing coordination in Global Trade Policy-
Making.
• Settling trade related disputes among member nations
with the help of its Dispute Settlement
• Reviewing trade related economic policies of member
countries with help of its Trade Policy Review Body
(TPRB).
12. • Providing technical assistance & guidance related to
management of foreign trade & fiscal policy to its
member nations.
• Acting as forum for trade liberalization.
• India is one of the founder members of WTO.
• WTO is an international trade organization having set
of rules & principles, mutually designed & agreed upon
to promote international trade in general & reduction of
tariffs barriers & removal of import restrictions in
particular.

14. Role of WTO
• The main goal of WTO is to help the trading industry to
become smooth, fair, free and predictable. It was organized to
become the administrator of multilateral trade and business
agreements between its member nations. It supports all
occurring negotiations for latest agreements for trade. WTO
also tries to resolve trade disputes between member nations.
• Multi-lateral agreements are always made between several
countries in the past. Because of this, such agreements become
very difficult to negotiate but are so powerful and influential
once all the parties agree and sign the multi-lateral agreement.
WTO acts as the administrator. If there are unfair trade
practices or dumping and there is complain filed, the staff of
WTO are expected to investigate and check if there are
violations based on the multi-lateral agreements.
15. WTO and its impact on Indian
economy
• The WTO has both favorable and non-favorable impact
on Indian economy
Favorable impact
1.Increase in export earning
i. Growth in merchandise export;
• The establishment of the has increase the exports of
developing countries because of reduction in tariff and
non-tariff trade barrier India's merchandise have
increased from 32 billion US $(1995) to 185 billion US
$ (2008-09) .
16. ii. Growth in service exports
• The WTO introduced the GATS (General Agreement
on Trade in Service) that proved beneficial for
countries like India. India’s service exports increased
from 5 billion US $(1995) to 102 billion US $ (2008-
09) for 45% of India's service.
2.Agriculture export
• Reduction of trade barrier and domestic subsidies
raise the price of agricultural products in international
market, India hopes to benefit from this in the form of
higher export earning from agriculture.
17. 3. Textile and clothing
• Textiles and clothing. The phasing out of the MFA
(Multi Fiber Arrangements) will help the developing
countries like India to increase the export of textile and
clothing.
4.Foreign direct investment
• As per the TRIMs agreement, restrictions on foreign
investment have been withdrawn by the member
nations of the WTO. This has benefited developing
countries by way of foreign direct investment, euro
equities and portfolio investment. In 2008-09 the net
foreign direct investment in India was 35 billion US$.
18. Unfavorable impact
1. TRIPs (Trade Related aspects of Intellectual
Property)
• Protection of intellectual property rights has been of
the major concerns of the WTO. As a member of the
WTO, India has to comply with the TRIPs
standards.
• However, the agreement on TRIPs goes against the
Indian patent act 1970, in the following way.
19. i. Pharmaceutical sector
• Under the Indian patent act 1970, only process
patents are granted to chemicals, drugs and
medicines. Thus, a company can legally manufacture
once it had the product patent. So Indian
pharmaceutical companies could sell good quality
products at low prices. However under TRIPs
agreement, product patents will also be granted that
will raise the prices of medicines, thus keeping them
out of reach of the poor people, fortunately, most of
drugs manufactured in India are off – patents and so
will be less affected.
20. ii. Agriculture
• Since the agreement on TRIPs extends to agriculture
as well; it will have considerable implications on
Indian agriculture. The MNG, with their huge
financial resources may also take over seed
production and will eventually control food
production. Since a large majority of Indian
population depends on agriculture for their
livelihood, these developments will have serious
consequences.
• Micro – organisms: under TRIPs agreement patenting
has been extended to micro organisms as well. These
mills largely benefit MNCS and not developing like
India.
21. 2.TRIMs (Trade Related Investment Measures)
• The agreement on TRIMs also favours developing
nations as there are no rules in the agreement to
formulate international rules for controlling business
practices of foreign investors. Also, complying with
the TRIMs agreement will contradict our objective of
self-reliant growth based on locally available
technology and resources.
22. 3. GATS (General Agreement on Trade in
Services)
• The agreement on GATS will also favour the
developed nations more. Thus, the rapidly growing
services sector in India will now have to compete
with now have to complete with giant foreign firms.
Moreover, since foreign firms are allowed to remit
their profits, dividends and royalties to their parent
company, it will cause foreign exchange burden for
India.
23. 4. Trade and Non-tariff barriers
• Reduction of trade and non-tariff barriers has
adversely affected the exports of various developing
nations. Various Indian products have been hit by
non-tariff barriers. These include textiles, marine
product, floriculture, pharmaceutical basmati rice,
carpets, leather goods etc.
