...Kollam Kollam or Quilon, an old sea port and town on the Laccadive Sea coast in Kerala, India, on the Ashtamudi Lake. Kollam, once called Desinganadu, had a sustained commercial reputation from the days of the Phoenicians and the Romans. Fed by the Chinese trade, it was regarded by Ibn Battuta, as one of the five ports which he had seen in the course of his travels during twenty four years, in the 14th century. Kollam District is a veritable Kerala in miniature is gifted with sea, lakes, plains, mountains, rivers, streams, backwaters, forest, vast green fields and tropical crops of every variety. History[edit] An ancient trading town - trading with Chinese, Arabs and other Orientals - with historical citations of trade dating back to Biblical history and the reign of Solomon (supported with a find of ancient Roman coins). Internal trade occurred through the Punalur Pass connecting the ancient town to Tamil Nadu. The overland trade by bullock cart of its produce pepper and the trade over the waterways connecting Allepey and Cochin ensured trade linakges that grew into shaping it as a town playing host to one of the earliest industrial townships. The rail links established to Tamil Nadu supported firmer trade links. The marine exports processing factories and the processing and packaging of cashewnuts took the produce of these shores across the globe. The State of Kerala is looking at trade to drive development that is environment friendly and sustainable. Kollam was a flourishing...

...On 22 December 2004, the Government of Kerala assigned the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) the task of preparing the detailed project report (DPR) for the Kochi Metro rail project. It was expected to start by 2006 and complete by 2010. But the project was delayed because the Central Government expressed serious doubts about the economic viability of the project.[9] The Kerala government had sought the Centre's assistance for the project to be built on the lines of the Delhi Metro project in terms of funding. The Centre refused this request.[10] The Union Government was in favour of implementing the project in public–private partnership (PPP) on the build-operate-transfer model,[11] ruling out its own financial involvement. The Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) and the Planning Commission were also against government investment in the project, and refused to accept it as a project in line with the Delhi and Chennai metros. The political rivalry between the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government in Kerala and the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government at the Centre was a major reason for such developments and the slow down in the project.[12] The LDF wanted it to be in public sector, which was not accepted by the Central Government. The victory of the United Democratic Front (UDF) in the 2011 Kerala legislative assembly elections, changed the scenario in the state[13] and it was decided that the Kochi Metro would follow the Chennai Metro and Delhi Metro models, and...

...Controversies surrounding Coca-Cola in India Police arrested tribals protesting Coke's Water Crimes (2002) A soft drinks factory set up by Coca-Cola in Plachimada, Kerala in 1999 had sucked the local aquifers dry. The Coke-induced water scarcity had hit the indigenous peoples (Adivasi’s) belonging to the Eravalar and Malasar tribes, and the Dalit (oppressed castes) community who lived around the factory the worst. The people of Plachimada saw their wells dry out even as truck loads of soft drinks made their way from the factory to distant markets. Complaints and requests to the company and the Government went futile. On 22nd April,2002, faced with the prospect of a summer without water, the indigenous peoples and the Dalits began an indefinite strike outside the factory gates demanding its closure. After numerous confrontations with the police, on June 9th, the police finally acted openly in favour of the Coca-Cola company by arresting 130 peaceful protestors, including 30 women and 9 children (mostly infants). Center for Science and Environment (CSE) findings In early 2003(CSE), a highly reputable NGO in New Delhi, released a study which documents extraordinarily high and dangerous levels of pesticide, including banned carcinogens such as Heptachlor and Malathion, in all tested samples of Coke. CSE’s scientists tested 57 samples of Coke from 25 different bottling plants across most of India, and in some cases found pesticide residues 24 times higher than standards adhered...

...Air transport is the most modern means of transport which is unmatched by its speed, time- saving and long-distance operation. It is very important for a large country like India. Through it one can easily reach to remote and inaccessible areas like mountains, forests, deserts etc. It is very useful during the times of war and natural calamities like floods, earthquakes, famines, epidemics, hostility and collapse of law and order. The beginning of the air transport was made in 1911 with a 10 km air mail service between Allahabad and Naini. The real progress was achieved in 1920 when some aerodromes were constructed and the Tata Sons Ltd. started operating internal air services (1922). Flying clubs were opened in Delhi, Karachi, Calcutta (now Kolkata) and Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1928. In 1933 another company Indian National Airways was constituted to serve between Karachi and Lahore. In 1938 .the Empire Air Mail Service was introduced to carry mail between the empire countries. In 1946, the Government set up the Air transport Licensing Board which granted 11 licenses. At the time of Independence 4 companies were operating their air services (Tata Sons Ltd., Indian National Airways, Air Services of India and Deccan Airways). By 1951 there were 4 new entrants: (Bharat Airways, Himalayan Aviation Ltd., Airways India, and Kalinga Airlines).

...THE BUSINESS OF WATER CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BUSINESS ETHICS CASE STUDY ANALYSIS SUBMITTED BY: PRIYA BHATTER Who are the main stakeholders of beverage companies such as Cocoa Cola and Nestle in this case? How would you prioritize their stake and how legitimate are the different stakes? Consider the following stakeholders for beverage companies such as Nestle and Cocoa Cola in terms of legitimacy and importance of the stakes held. Shareholders and Board of Directors: These are directly interested in the profitability of the company and will be impacted by any decision that the company makes. While their stakes are legitimate and must be prioritized in terms of company profitability and decisions, their claims on water resources are not legitimate since water is a public resource and no private company and be allowed to appropriate public resources for their profit Citizens and Local Communities: These communities are directly impacted by the decisions of the beverage companies. While their stakes do not come first in order of priority their claims on water resources are the most legitimate. Decisions taken by beverage companies such as the use of exhaustible acquihires by Nestle or the depletion of groundwater resources by Cocoa Cola directly impact them, and must be taken into considerations while making corporate decisions. Government and Regulatory Bodies: Governments (especially in developing economies) are invested in these companies since they earn tax...

...POSITION PAPER ON THE AIRPORTS SECTOR IN INDIA May 2009 Department of Economic Affairs Ministry of Finance Government of India AIRPORTS SECTOR EXISTING SCENARIO 1. The civil aviation traffic has seen an unprecedented traffic in the past few years on account of booming Indian economy, growing tourism industry, entry of low cost carriers in the private sector, liberalization of international bi-lateral agreements and liberalization of civil aviation policy. In future also the civil aviation traffic is expected to grow at the same pace despite current slowdown due to global recession. But airport infrastructure has not kept pace with the growth of the civil aviation traffic. This has resulted in congestion and inefficient services in major airports, limited landing slots, inadequate parking bays and congestion during peak hours for airlines. Development of quality infrastructure will have an impact on international competitiveness and economic growth. This requires faster development of civil aviation infrastructure on public private partnership mode. In tune with the requirement many initiatives have already been started in the 10th five year plan and they are expected to continue in the 11th plan also. 2. Of a total number of 454 airports and airstrips in India, 16 are designated as international airports. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) owns and operates 97 airports. A recent report by Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) states that over the next 12 years...

...INTRODUCTION Leadership is the ability to evaluate and or forecast a long term plan or policy and influence the followers towards the achievement of the said strategy. Job satisfaction is the level of contentment a person feels regarding his or her job. This feeling is based on an individual's perception of satisfaction. Job satisfaction can be influenced by a person's ability to complete required tasks, the level of communication in an organization, and the way management treats employees. There are often two different levels of job satisfaction: affective job satisfaction and cognitive job satisfaction. Affective job satisfaction is a person's emotional feeling toward the job as a whole. Cognitive job satisfaction is how satisfied a person feels concerning an aspect of his or her job, such as pay, hours, or benefits. The connection between leadership and job satisfaction is a factor of the business culture that can have far-reaching consequences. In the best of scenarios, managers and other leaders within the company structure inspire employees to take pride in their work and also feel competent in the tasks they are assigned. This goal is pursued using a number of different strategies, helping to create a working situation that enhances employee satisfaction in general, and satisfaction with the job in particular. The end result is that the company enjoys a higher level of productivity, there is a lower amount of employee turnover, and the working environment tends to be...

Position of Co-operative Storage and Warehousing X. System in India XII. Evaluation of Storage and Warehousing Facilities XIII. Suggestions for Improvement XIV. Conclusion Preface After harvesting the crop, the most important practice is the storage. In the absence of storage, the farmer will sell his produce at a very un-remunerative prices. In our country, storage facilities are grossly insufficient and whatever are available, they are not damage-proof or scientific. Thus a broad network of storage facilities which is easily accessible to the farmers is needed. This can be successfully achieved by organizing co-operative storage and warehousing. This booklet describes all these possibilities in detail but in simple language. Dr. K. T. Chandy, Agricultural and Environmental Education I. Introduction Storage is an exercise of human foresight by means of which commodities are protected from deterioration and surplus supplies are...
