The ministry of tourism development manages the hotel sector at the national level, while state legislation manages the hotel sector at the state level in India. In order to maintain their star ratings, hotels must conform to certain regulatory regulations. The HRACC (Hotel and Restaurant Approval and Classification Committee) has established specific governance parameters, and efforts have been made to assess whether private sector hotels were complying with all of the committee's governance requirements. As a result of the study, it was determined that private sector hotels in India adhered to the majority of the parameters.

Research is necessary for development in every country, research is necessary for the social and economic development of the country and also for the personal development of the citizens. Some scientific principles are used for research in social sciences, but in the present, the process of social research has become much more complicated than before. There has been a difference in all the activities from research problem to publishing research. In this research paper, challenges and expectations before social science research have been analyzed and suggestions have been given to make social science research useful to the society and for the country.

In this study extent of impact that urban women leaders can assert in urban local political dynamics was analyzed. The study sought to gain an insight into what impact their political representation and leadership styles had on the affiliated self-governing institutions and grassroot governance in last 75 years of Independence. This study thus presents an exhaustive review of the studies of how the urban grassroots were empowered with imbibing gender equality at grassroots through increasing political representation and leadership of women, the challenges further and suggest a direction for future developments. Based on the analysis, now is the present to focus on women's leadership in decision making institutions from mere representation or allegiance to women's empowerment for a logical concatenation. Having more women leaders with transformational leadership style in urban self-governing institutions will have a ripple effect on not only improving grassroot democracies but also bridging the gender gap to meet the sustainable developmental goal gender equality target by 2030, by imbibing inclusivity and shifting focus towards issues of priority and social development. Further, a theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed. Directions for future studies could focus on the development of motivators to empower urban women leaders in urban India.

The present study is conducted to have an overview of women participation in cooperative movement through Women Dairy Cooperative Societies (WDCS) in Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur and Ludhiana districts of Punjab. For the study, response of 120 women WDCS members (40 members from each district) was taken and analysed. Data was collected with the help of structured questionnaire comprising of different type of questions regarding their participation and level of involvement in the societies. The result of the study reveals that women societies constitute only 19.67% of total societies in the three district and 21.57% at state federation level. Only 0.83% members had ever attended any training programme whereas 11.67% are unaware about it. The result shows that only 22.5% members attended the meetings held at the society level. It has been reported in the current study that members of Hoshiarpur district have no medicine and veterinary services provided by the union. In case of women socio-economic empowerment through decision making or control of finances at household level, the scenario is challenging. Only 33.3% have their personal bank accounts and 37.5% have freedom in expenditure. The results of the research suggest that though progressive steps are taken by the Milkfed, yet for optimum participation of women in cooperatives require more serious efforts through productive meetings and training programmes.

Ancient India is an extremely rich store house of knowledge. The great thoughts and ideas of the intellectual leaders about development, society and governance have been not only inspiring for all time to come but also of abiding interest since time immemorial for those who have special interest in ancient Indian civilizations. Of them two names, namely Kautilya and Tiruvalluvar , residing in two furthest corners of the country, stand out prominently. Kautilaya’s Arthashastra and Tiruvalluvar’ s Thirukkural are known for their wise canvas and outstanding ideas. The former served as a top counsel to king Chandragupta Maurya in Pataliputra,( modernday Patna), while the latter was a common weaver in today’s Chennai. Apart from the numerous other recurring themes in their works, their views on polity, economy and governance are widely acclaimed and appreciated. In this paper an attempt will be made to bring together in one place and their valuable contributions and to analyse their contemporary relevance. The objectives of the paper are: • to call attention to the fundamental political and economic issues presented by Kautilya and Thiruvalluvar • to ascertain their relative prominence in pre-Indo-European economic and political philosophy • to establish the relevance of their opinions in the context of current India's political and economic structure

The scope of social policy today is extensive. With the changing global scenario there is a rediscovery of “social” in it. Indubitably, there is a gender perspective on social policy globally. The world Economic Forum states that there are only six countries in the world (Belgium, Denmark, France, Latvia, Luxembourg and Sweden) where women have equal work rights to men. It is noted that the situation in different countries vary when it comes to the working benefits of different genders whether for native or expatriate workers in those places. Though there are rooms to enjoy attractive income and favorable working conditions such as job security, generous retirement plan, and other welfare benefits, there are still various factors that might lead to gender-based differences or gender discrimination in the unique labor market context of the GCC countries. The scenario is distinct in many Scandinavian nations like Sweden. Those countries are often considered as the role model for gender equal work allowances. When it comes to India there is still disparity and difference in many areas despite of the social security system the country offers in its policies. This paper aims at a descriptive and qualitative study on the causes, consequences and conclusion of the gender disparity in employee allowances of these nations. The study would imply simple random method of interrogations to examine gender differences empirically within the labor market of the mentioned nations. The economic benefits of a gender equal nation in the framing of social policy will be emphasized and focused.
