Rural Marketing is defined as any marketing activity in which the one dominant participant is from a rural area. This implies that rural marketing consists of marketing of inputs (products or services) to the rural as well as marketing of outputs from the rural markets to other geographical areas. Rural markets have emerged as an important growth engine in the Indian consumption story. With about 70 per cent of the Indian population residing in the hinterlands, rural markets seem to be a significant opportunity for business conglomerates. Rural areas of the country or countryside are areas that are not urbanized, though when large areas are described country towns and smaller cities will be included. They have a low population density, and typically much of the land is devoted to agriculture. Impact of WTO on Rural Behavior India will be able to expand...

...According to a survey by social media consultancy Drizzlin, Vodafone is most admired by online social media users for its ads and promotions Drizzlin Media, a social media consultancy, has released the results of its survey on the most admired telecom brands based on social media conversations. According to the survey, Vodafone is the most admired telecom brand online with a score of 117.57 points. This brand was admired most for its ads and promotional messaging. In terms of products and services, BSNL Mobile is most admired. However, in terms of customer service, MTNL scored the highest while Vodafone was at the bottom of the stack. The survey also showed that despite the popularity of Facebook, only two telecom brands Tata Indicom and Vodafone are active on it. The survey monitored 10 telecom brands on six online platforms: blogs, Twitter, social networks (Facebook and Orkut), forums, YouTube and Mouthshut. About 7000 conversations were taken as a sample, of which relevant ones numbered 1631. Of the conversations where gender could be identified, 83 per cent were by men and six per cent were by women. Another revelation of the survey was that telecom companies in India are limited in their engagement of customers online.

Ajita Deshmukh Ph.D scholar Hansraj Jivandas College of Education, Mumbai Abstract: Today, we struggle with extremes- that of apathy towards civic participation on one hand and on the other hand, witness campaigns and protests against an existing system.

...The role of mainstream media and social media in Nirbhaya Gang rape case The media plays an important role in today’s society through strengthening individuals to express their opinions about the morals and vices in the world. Kumar (2013) noted that media has become as necessary as clothing and food in society since it helps both the marginalized and the powerful to get the justice they deserve in various situations. The mainstream media and social media are considered to be mirrors of the contemporary society since it shapes the people. Hallam (2012) noted the purpose of the social and mainstream media is to keep the people informed about the current affairs and the latest fashion and gossip. The social media such as facebook and twitter are used to market and trade products and services since most of the people are using digital devices. Adi (2014) noted that Media in the community is in charge of education, information, advertising, entertainment and correlation of various parts of society.

...Running head: Social Media Social Media and Global Business Cheryl L. Medley King College Dr. George Darko BUSA 5085 September 30, 2012 Information overload: the knowledge, ideas, and creativity that spin around us daily. Television broadcasts information on weather and sports while lifestyle programs show us how to cook and exercise. Radio stations flood us with music and entertainment news. Businesses that succeed have learned how to bundle all this information and share it so that they cut through all the noise and met the challenge head on from being invisible to being visible. Social media can help reveal that information, know-how, and talent to the world and spread your brand (Bullas, 2012). Getting closer to customers can be done by successfully manipulating social media in delivering experiences of tangible worth in return for their time, attention, and recommendation.

They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses. - Malcolm X Media is considered fourth pillar of a country thus it has lots of responsibility towards society. Media in a democratic country is considered to be a pedagogue of freedom and making society aware about the realities by reporting. It has to reflect the realities of society and report the truth in order to protect the basic human rights especially of marginalised sections of society like women. In Indian society, woman occupies a vital position but unfortunately venerable place. The Vedas glorified women as the mother, the creator, one who gives life and worshipped her as a ‘Devi’ or Goddess. It can be inferred via a relatively high position occupied by the women in Rig Vedic era, where they were part of the governance institutes like Sabha and Samiti. India's major religion i.e Hinduism portrays women as a representation of power i.e. Shakti in the form of Durga and Kali. From Vedic period onwards to the mid of 19th century, the condition of women kept on deteriorating. They were excluded from education, property and cultural rituals, and their primary...
