The primary motive of this research is to find the determinants influencing the capital structure of the Indian companies of IT, Automobile, Petroleum industries. Review of capital structure theories has been done to find the determinants influencing the capital structure of selected companies of IT, Automobile and Petroleum Industries. This study used panel data of five largest companies of each industry during 2004 to 2018. Linear panel regression model has been used to check the relation of DE ratio with the NPR, CR, ROA and ROCE. Descriptive statistics and unit root test also used to check the reliability of data. The results suggested that NPR, CR, ROA and ROCE are having influence on the debtequity ratio which is a measure of capital structure. And there is different impact of all the measures on different industries. It is very important to know the factor influencing the capital structure, it seems very useful in deciding the ratio of debt and equity in capitalization. This research maybe useful in deciding the capital structure of the Indian companies which are of large capitalization.

Rapid loss of spiritual values in the society is a matter of grave concern to the educational institutions in India. The inculcation of values and spirituality in education system is the dire need of the day. Eastern ethical flavour is required to be added in the contemporary leadership theories drawn from western perspective. Educational Social Responsibility (ESR), a new keyword based on the philosophy of ‘work’ and ‘ethics’, may prove to be a behaviouristic approach to spiritual revival in education system. ESR is very much helpful in achieving sustainable development through ethical leadership by formulating and implementing social responsibility activities for the weaker sections of the society. An attempt has been made in this article to examine the spiritual concerns of the educational institutions at work place and suggest measures for greater benefits to the society and sustainable development of the educational institutions.

The overall development of the economy generally depends on its banking sector and its stability in the functioning. Non-performing assets (NPAs) are one of the foremost concerns for banks in India. NPAs generally reflect the performance of banks. A high level of NPAs suggests high probability of a large number of credit defaults by which the profitability of the bank is got effected. In a developing country, banking is seen as an imperative mechanism of development, where NPAs are playing a crucial role in the growth of the economy. NPAs are not merely nonremunerative, but they add cost to the credit management. The NPA growth involves the necessity of provisions, which reduces the overall profits and shareholders’ value. The problem of NPAs is not only affecting the banks but also the whole economy. In this regard, the present paper is an attempt to analyze the impact of NPAs on profitability of public sector banks especially Andhra Bank with a comparative analysis of these two.
