Agriculture occupies a prominent position in Indian economy, not only because it accounts for 17 per cent of India's gross domestic product (GDP) but also engages more than 50 per cent of the country's workforce. However, Indian Agriculture is confronting the major challenges with respect to ever growing population to feed, reducing natural resources, increasing global competitiveness, deficiency of scientific storage facilities, and above all, uncertainties of the monsoon and changing climate. The small farmers do not have the financial strength to hold the produce with them and are unable to get better off season prices of their agricultural produce. The government buys food grains from the farmers but likewise does not have the space to store it. Every year tonnes of food grains go waste because of inadequate storage and infrastructure facilities. Due to inadequate infrastructure facilities Post-harvest losses accounts an average 10 to 25 per cent, being particularly high in horticulture, livestock and fisheries. Large investments are required in developing agricultural markets, quality certification, warehouses, and cold storages. Such large investments are possible only with the participation of the private sector. Public-private partnerships are a key mechanism to develop and deliver a reliable stream of technology in the face of changing demands. Collaborative partnerships can effectively bridge the gap between public and private sector's distinctive competencies in order to meet farmer's needs. The objective of this paper is to summarize the issues and challenges facing the agricultural warehousing, to find out the gaps in Storages/Warehouses in India and attempt to find possible solutions to bridge this gap. The study is based on secondary data taken from different sources.

Due to rapid, uncertain and continuous changes in our current turbulent world, the concept “uncertainty”, which was introduced by economists and psychologists, has found a place in the managerial academic arena throughout the last three decades. This concept has a significant impact on people’s choices and business orientation, the matter that puts it at the heart of many scientific disciplines. During the last two decades, organizational cynicism has found a place in academic management literature. It has a vital role in interpreting many organizational unwanted behaviors, such as absenteeism, day dreaming and the state of being careless when doing work. This study investigates the association between uncertainty types (strategic, structural and jobrelated) and organizational cynicism dimensions (cognitive, affective and behavioral) by conducting a quantitative study of physicians in Kasr El Eini public hospital in Egypt. Upon using correlation and regression analysis for the collected data, it appears that all uncertainty types have a positive impact on organizational cynicism dimensions.
在当今动荡的世界中,由于快速、不确定和持续的变化,“不确定性”这个概念由经济学家和心理学家提出,在过去三十年中在管理学术领域占据了一席之地。这个概念对人们的选择和商业方向有重大影响,这一问题使它成为许多科学学科的核心。在过去的二十年里,组织犬儒主义在学术管理文献中找到了一席之地。它在解释许多组织不想要的行为方面发挥着至关重要的作用,比如旷工、白日做梦和工作时粗心大意的状态。本研究通过对埃及Kasr El Eini公立医院的医生进行定量研究,调查不确定性类型(战略、结构和工作相关)和组织犬儒主义维度(认知、情感和行为)之间的关系。通过对收集的数据进行相关和回归分析,发现所有不确定性类型对组织玩世不恭维度都有积极影响。

Finance, either through accumulated savings or through credit, in required volume is essential for undertaking any productive activity. Productive activity, therefore, requires linking of the producers with the financial or credit system of the country, a process termed financial inclusion, so as to enable them to avail of credit facility in time. An innovative form of such credit linking introduced in India in 1992–93 is through the self-help groups (SHGs). This paper is an attempt at reviewing, and commenting on, the progress of the programme in the country since its inception in 1992–93 with reference to its role in financial inclusion in the country.

The circulation of managers, entrepreneurs and professionals between developed and developing nations is an important trend engendered by globalization. This new dimension of international migration is passing through an experience of brain drain and then followed by brain circulation in many parts of the globe. Brain circulation is a process in which talented immigrants return to their homeland with technology, capital, managerial and institutional know-how, to harness promising opportunities. In India, specifically many individuals are returning back home after completing higher education in other countries. India survived the recession era with great resilience and this has promped the managers, young entrepreneurs and skilled professionals to take up jobs in their home country or start with a new business resulting in brain circulation. The opportunities available for these returnee individuals are far higher than their counterparts due to the economic reforms shaping up in India.

Business model innovation allows firms to address various potential activities to exploit the opportunities outside its core business that requires different business model. In implementing of business model innovation; Incubation is a stage at which a firm verifies the viability of new initiatives for identified assumptions after testing them in orderly manner for success of business proposition. Hence at this stage focus should be on gathering the knowledge rather than to reap the revenues, using this gathered knowledge firms can realize sustainable profits at acceleration stage. In incubation process the business model framework helps to identify new value propositions that have the greatest chance of success and weed out those that contain flows or inconsistencies. Investing a little to learn a lot helps overcome the uncertainty of new business development by enabling managers to modify plans in response to new knowledge. Thus it is necessary for firms to understand the knowledge creation at incubation to implement the theoretical business model to the successful working. Through this conceptual paper, researcher elucidates how knowledge is constructed at incubation stage which helps firms at acceleration and transition stage for better proceeds in implementing business model innovation.
