She proposed an institution that would work as a bridge between policy and practice. And CHETNA, or Centre for Health, Education, Training and Nutrition Awareness, was born.

His commitment to the promotion of S\u0026amp;T and their application to the development of security of the nation have been acknowledged by one and all and has led him to hold important positions in the Government of India—former Secretary in the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, the Department of Electronics and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. What puts him in a unique category is the fact that he was, for almost a decade, S\u0026amp;T Adviser to late Prime Minister Mrs Indira Gandhi, working from the Prime Minister’s Secretariat on a 24x7 basis. That was a position no one else has held either before him or after him. He built 14 public sector companies in electronics making hi-tech electronic products ranging from microchips to optic fibre and satellite-based communication systems. Professor Parthasarathi’s contribution to the development of the defence electronic sector has been monumental as has been his contribution to solar electric systems. His seminal work to build up the Centre for Studies in Science Policy at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi—the only such centre in South Asia—was path breaking in establishing teaching and research capacity in the country in this key area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis festschrift is a collection of comprehensive reminiscences by a range of persons and documents Professor Ashok Parthasarathi’s contributions in diverse fields over almost half a century, particularly in formulating policies in S\u0026amp;T and getting them implemented for meeting the needs of the development and security of the nation.

Keeping up with the changes and obtaining a snapshot of the sector is challenging, given the pace of transformation. In the five chapters of this report, the authors have provided a useful outline of the recent trends in the five most talked-about areas of the sector—the promising FinTech sector, the “frenzy” around retail participation in the equity derivatives segment, the corporate debt market and the regulatory discourse surrounding it, the evolving landscape of sustainability reporting, and the increasing importance of climate finance in the Indian context. The chapters offer an overview, assisting both academic and industry leaders in obtaining a snapshot of the developments in these areas over the last few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Author(s) \/ Editor(s)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJM Financial Centre for Financial Research at IIM - Udaipur\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 78.3752px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.6006%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 47.9553%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eAF Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.6006%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePublication Date\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 47.9553%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e2025\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.6006%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eNumber of Pages\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 47.9553%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e78\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.6006%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 47.9553%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e9789332706743\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"IIM - Udaipur","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ ENG- English \/ Finance","offer_id":51197412639041,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/9067\/5009\/files\/Areportonemergngtrends_front.png?v=1767700512"},{"product_id":"economic-developments-in-india-volume-204-copy","title":"Adjusting to Global Economic Volatility","description":"\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn South Asia, the impact of global economic vulnerability has been felt mainly through finance, trade and investment channels affecting the performance of the real economy. The slowdown in growth of exports and remittances, and other associated changes in the domestic economies have resulted in lower growth. This has also had social implications through changes in household income, intra-household decisions and resource allocations creating adverse impact on food security, nutrition, education, health care as well as poverty dynamics and its intergenerational transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAdjusting to Global Economic Volatility: The Case of South Asia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eattempts to answer three questions: a) How has South Asia been coping with the impacts of global economic vulnerability? b) What has determined the differential impact of various sectors to global economic and financial crisis? c) What demand- and supply-side bottlenecks need to be eased to meet the challenges of global vulnerability and how regional cooperation can help the countries going forward?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeeting the global volatility challenges calls for a reform agenda that cuts across both domestic economies as well as the framework for regional cooperation. It must also be recognised that regional cooperation is not easy, and implementation of required actions is frequently weak in South Asian countries having diverse backgrounds. Furthermore, effective regional cooperation and integration takes time to develop and requires incremental, gradual and flexible implementation with visible payoffs. Successful cooperation requires leadership. Development of regional resources can be one of the important areas to make progress, which creates opportunities for win-win outcomes and equitable sharing of benefits among all partners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"morecontent\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePraise for this book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“An interesting and informative collection of essays on South Asian economies by a range of contributors with high academic reputation, the volume contains interesting analysis and excellent material on a variety of subjects from financial crisis to overseas workers’ remittances, from climate change to trade in health care services.

It is a process that leads to corrective action or improvement within the project, based on the shared decision-making of a number of stakeholders.\u003cbr\u003eAction for Social Advancement (ASA) launched a pilot initiative that experimented with the Participatory Monitoring and Learning (PM\u0026amp;L) approach, within three World Bank assisted rural development projects in Madhya Pradesh, India—the District Poverty Initiative Project (MP-DPIP), Rural Women’s Empowerment Project (Swashakti) and MP Forestry Project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe goal of the two-year World Bank-funded pilot was to field-test and fine-tune PM\u0026amp;L approaches that would improve participation of primary and secondary stakeholders within the project cycle. The pilot’s overriding hypothesis was that PM\u0026amp;L can contribute to improved learning, participatory decision-making and better governance at all levels within a project, primarily at the community level. Ultimately, it enables a project to become innovative, bottom-up and demand-driven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ASA PM\u0026amp;L initiative adapted a number of existing PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) tools to undertake monitoring and learning ‘at the community level’, within the three World Bank assisted projects in Madhya Pradesh. This Handbook presents a number of these tools, together with others synthesised from experiences of other organisations. It offers an overview of the kind of tools that are proving to be effective in PM\u0026amp;L processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Handbook provides facilitators with practical information on how to apply the tools.
