...South Asian Economic Students Meet 2012 | Agenda for Greening the South Asian Economy | Potential Energy Saving Capabilities of Emerging Cities: A Case of Hyderabad | L. Sai Anurag 11/10/2012 | Essay Proposal Since gaining Independence, the Indian Subcontinent has been one of the most promising areas for development and has increasingly made its presence felt in the global economic scenario with rapid progress in both the manufacturing and the services sector. India is the second fastest growing economy in the world, with a GDP growth rate of 9.4 percent in the financial year 2006-07. However, due to the impact of the global recession the policy paralysis in the country growth rate had fallen to 5.3% in Q4 FY’12. Contraction is the manufacturing sector and the falling rupee has deteriorated India’s position further. The resultant impact of the initial rapid GDP growth has been an increase in the per capita GDP and also an increase in the income levels of both rural and urban households. Achieving this growth also meant a tremendous rise in the use of energy across all the sectors of the economy as well albeit at a slower pace. The major point of concern here is not the magnitude of energy driving this growth but the quality and structure of this energy growth. India has immensely contributed to the growth of the South Asian Economy by taking up economic reforms and giving a tremendous boost to industry. India’s favorable demographic mix, its abundance...

...An integrated approach or understanding of earth including the oceans is vital if we have to effectively and sustainably manage earth’s energy, water, mineral, soil and coastal resources for our future generations. A stand-alone view of various phenomena will not serve any purpose as any independent model is unable to sustain the variability of the complexities involved in the earth and ocean sciences, which are gradually converging. It has therefore become imperative to understand the interdependence and coupling of geological sciences and oceanography. The combined approach to earth and ocean sciences is also the key to predicting and managing natural disasters or hazards like earthquakes, cyclones, floods, tsunami, etc. In this context, in a significant development in India, a Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) was formed in July 2006 by restructuring the former Ministry of Ocean Development. The MoES deals with matters relating to meteorology, seismology, climate and environmental science and related earth sciences including ocean science and technology. It facilitates an integrated view of earth systems viz., ocean, atmosphere and land to provide best possible services in respect of ocean resources, ocean state, monsoon, cyclone, earthquake, tsunami, climate change, etc. The MoES oversees research in earth system sciences, forecast monsoons and other climate parameters, ocean state, earthquakes, tsunamis and earth science phenomena.

Where youngsters don’t hop aboard a plane to US for their dream job, rather stay back in their homeland and work for its welfare. An India, where those not related by blood are united by beliefs. By their love & not separated by faith or color; where it’s not a crime to wed out of ones community, where millions aren’t stashed in Swiss accounts rather with every individual.

...Introduction “Police history” predates the evolution of the “police” as a permanent occupational group within a bureaucratic institution, providing the primary state response to crime and disorder. That was primarily a development of the 19th century and a reaction to the rapid social change of the industrial revolution and rapid urbanization. Prior to 1800, governments maintained order by a variety of means, local and national. One of the key historical debates concerns the effectiveness of these approaches and the degree of continuity between the premodern and modern police models. Around 1800 a small number of distinctively different types of police institution emerged. The French, under Napoleon, instituted the Gendarmerie, a state military police model. It evolved from the “Marechaussee,” which had had a dual military and civil function since the 16th century. The model was exported across Europe by Napoleon. The British developed two models. The first, set up to answer similar challenges to the Gendarmerie in France, was the Royal Irish Constabulary model. It was close to the state military model, but distinctively styled as part of the civil power of the state and subordinated to the Magistracy. The Irish model was subsequently exported to Britain’s colonies and became the basis of forces such as the Indian Police Service. The Metropolitan Police was consciously created as a local force with a uniform that was deliberately different from the military and a mission that...
