...Human Capital Needs in Agriculture and Allied Sectors - Policy Options National Academy of Agriculture Research Management (NAARM, Hyderabad) and Institute of Applied Manpower Research (IAMR, New Delhi) The Backdrop Agriculture sector is the mainstay of Indian economy ensuring food security and providing livelihood to millions involved either directly or indirectly with this sector. This sector has a strong mutually beneficial interface with the industry sector. Notwithstanding its declining share in country’s GDP, agriculture continues, and will continue to be the key to nation’s growth and development. Over the years Indian agriculture had made tremendous progress which, in a large measure, is directly or indirectly, due to the contributions of agricultural science and technology, and development of human skills to take advantage of the technology, be it through development of improved seed and planting material, plant protection, irrigation and soil conservation measures, mechanization and other productive agricultural practices as well as in putting on ground a massive infrastructure for extension work and transfer of technology to the farmers. In recent times, however, the pattern of agricultural growth has become somewhat erratic. The challenges that Indian agriculture faces today because of factors like shrinkage of available land, decline in soil quality and response to inputs, inadequate and uneven penetration of technology and skills, and above all...

...management theories, and practices. In the case study the external environment of this industry was fiercely aggressive with many companies closing due to financial strains. Founder and CEO of Men’s Wearhouse, George Zimmer saw the “untapped human potential” of his employees as the key asset rather than property, plant, and equipment. According to Zimmer, the company’s five stakeholder groups in order are: Employees, Customers, Vendors, Communities, and Shareholders. He believes that if you take care of your employees first, they will in turn take care of your customers, who will then in turn take care of your top-line growth (Nishimura, 1993). Men’s Wearhouse implemented management systems for compensation and staffing, promotion and career development, and communication with employees at all levels. It has been said, “They instituted unusual and groundbreaking workforce management strategies that worked” (Ifante, 2001). This paper will discuss some major issues and solutions needing attention and some things that the firm could do to improve. Concepts From the Text • Pay level explains how employees are compensated and is the average amount an organization pays for a particular job (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, & Wright, 2011 pg 327).

Who studies for postgraduate qualifications? Trends in postgraduate study Institutional differences and regional disparities Costs and benefits International standards and quality Future demand Page 1 3 9 24 40 47 59 63 2 Introduction: Purpose and arrangement of this study 1. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the postgraduate education sector in the UK, bringing together published data and reports in a convenient format and highlighting areas that may be of interest to policymakers. It provides a continuation and extension of the Higher Education Policy Institute’s (HEPI) previous report on postgraduate education in the UK published in 2004.1 2. This report mostly looks at the sector from a UK-wide perspective, unless dealing specifically with regional differences. However, since the large majority of the students in higher education are registered in English universities, this only gives us a clear picture of what is happening in England and does not necessarily reflect the situation in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, or indeed any one of the nine English regions. The reader should bear in mind that many of the discussions focus mainly on...

In it we address the adequacy of the current cost-benefit assessment performed in the course of evaluating project licence applications. We have sought to look at the many issues which arise in relation to this important element of the regulation of the use of animals, but would draw attention to three particular aspects of our work. In the first place we have addressed the fundamental question as to scientific validity of the use of animals. We believe that our considerations and conclusions offer an important clarification of the debate and fulfil the request made by your predecessor, Mike O’Brien, to provide advice on this issue. Secondly, while we conclude that some uses of animals may yield scientific knowledge, we argue that this does not settle the question of justification. We go on to elucidate the full range of factors which must be considered for there to be a rigorous application of the cost-benefit assessment. Thirdly, we also consider how...

...Chapter 1 Introduction Education is “an act of taking someone out of ignorance by means of teaching”, as defined by the World Book Encyclopedia. It is considered as social institution. It includes not only the effects of schooling, but also the more pervasive effects of child rearing practices gained from family training, social exposure and other means of media that a learner experienced and accumulated as part of his maturity. It is one of the purposes of education to prepare the youth for their future places in the society and prepare them to combat the real world. Schooling is only part of education. It is the place where a person gains proper training that his family cannot provide. Thus, in a school setting, education will not be considered a full one if there is no teacher. To teach is to make an assumption about what and how the students learn. Here in the Philippines, teachers are important factor in molding the society because of their tasks in guiding the learners out in the world of ignorance. Being a teacher demands basic competencies necessary in carrying out effectively his noble mission of promoting progressive human development and study social amelioration which involves hardwork, limitless dedication, and all around knowledge and skills. As part of the education curriculum, student teaching is one of the most important elements in the training of prospective teachers. According to Lugos (1985), student teaching is “designed to...
