Due to the Internet's proliferation and the globalisation of trade, retail has become a highly competitive and fast-paced industry. The expansion of the Internet has made it possible for a new kind of store to open, and it has also compelled traditional stores to think about adopting an online-only strategy. Due to the radical nature of the shift from brick-and-mortar to online retail, stores should think twice before committing to a new e-commerce strategy. The business model of online retail is not limited by traditional store hours or geographic location, and it may serve markets across an entire country for a relatively low outlay of resources. For these and other reasons, online shopping has quickly become an alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar stores. The present paper seeks to demystify the factors, influencing consumer online shopping behaviour in the food and grocery segment, in the state of West Bengal. Availability and Affordability, Convenience and Trust, Quality of Service, Motivation to Buy, Flexibility and Responsiveness, Perceived Risk, Product Attributes, have been identified as the key factors, influencing adoption of online food and grocery shopping.

In the non-life insurance sector, General Insurance Business Act of 1972 was approved by the Indian Parliament through amalgamation of 107 general insurance companies operating on that time. In the non-life insurance segment, there are 6 public sector insurers and the rest 28 are private insurers. Apart from these, there is a sole national re-insurer, namely general Insurance Corporation of India (GIC). In this context, the study attempts to analyze the financial growth of the private non-life insurers in India from 2010-11 to 2019-20. Varied results are observed in respect of selected performance indicators of private non-life insurers in India. Overall, we found no significant change in financial recital indicators during the study epoch. To conclude, it may be stated on the whole, it may be stated that despite momentous positive enlargement in FDIR, the private non-life insurers in India have not shown acceptable recital with respect to financial indicators during the time under study.

The historical scenario of Indian politics marked a period of One Party dominance, which pertained to the Indian National Congress' supremacy in the years following India's independence in 1947. This party played a crucial role in the struggle for freedom and garnered considerable backing throughout the nation. The waning of the Congress Party's control led to a more diversified political landscape in India, where numerous parties and coalitions competed for authority. Despite remaining a significant political entity, the Congress Party's influence became more localized, and it encountered opposition from both national and regional parties. It's worth noting that the concept of one-party dominance has evolved recently due to the emergence of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as a predominant force in national politics, as discussed earlier.

Ground water level in Haryana state continuously declines due to the over exploitation. In some of the blocks, the situation is very critical and there is a need to take the appropriate step to sustain the ground water level in the state. “Mera Pani Meri Virasat” scheme is one of the initiatives of the Haryana government to sustain the ground water level in the state through the crop diversification. The main purpose of the scheme is to encourage the farmers towards growing the crops consuming less water (like maize, bajra, pulses and cotton) in place of crops consuming more water especially paddy. The present study examines the “Mera Pani Meri Virasat” scheme and cropping pattern in Haryana state. The study based on secondary data that has been retrieved from various secondary sources. Descriptive statistical tools like percentage, compound annual growth rate, table and charts were used in the study. The results of the study indicates that MPMV is an ambitious scheme because it helps in risk reduction in agricultural activities as well as sustaining the ground water level in the state. Under the MPMV scheme, 49157 farmers are registered with the area 95117.8 hectares as on 8 Oct. 2021. The study also reveals that area and production of paddy as well as cotton are continuously increasing and showing the positive growth rate whereas area of bajra is declining continue but still the production of bajra is increasing. Both the area and production of maize crops continues declining. For policy implications, it is suggested that the government should organise the awareness programmes at panchayat levels about the scheme and its benefits.
由于过度开采，哈里亚纳邦的地下水位持续下降。在一些区块，情况非常危急，有必要采取适当的措施来维持该州的地下水位。“Mera Pani Meri Virasat”计划是哈里亚纳邦政府通过作物多样化来维持该州地下水位的举措之一。该计划的主要目的是鼓励农民种植耗水较少的作物(如玉米、巴吉拉、豆类和棉花)，以取代耗水较多的作物，特别是水稻。本研究考察了哈里亚纳邦的“Mera Pani Meri Virasat”计划和种植模式。该研究基于从各种二手来源检索到的二手数据。研究中使用了描述性统计工具，如百分比、复合年增长率、表格和图表。研究结果表明，MPMV是一个雄心勃勃的计划，因为它有助于降低农业活动的风险，并维持该州的地下水位。根据MPMV计划，截至2021年10月8日，已有49157名农民注册，面积为95117.8公顷。研究还表明，水稻和棉花的面积和产量都在持续增长，呈现正增长趋势，而巴吉拉的面积在持续下降，但巴吉拉的产量仍在增加。玉米作物的面积和产量都在持续下降。就政策影响而言，建议政府在村务委员会层面组织有关该计划及其好处的意识项目。

The insurance sector is undergoing a global upswing in technology improvements to its operations and products, especially in those areas where the FinTech environment has expanded significantly. From the perspective of InsurTech, India is noteworthy because of the scale of its uninsured population. The term "InsurTech" refers to technical advancements developed and applied to increase the effectiveness of the insurance sector. In the upcoming years, InsurTech as a sector is guaranteed to gain the attention of insurance industry pioneers. The primary goal of this study is to discuss the Indian insurance industry's adoption of InsurTech. It explains the development of the insurance technology sector in India as well as the current state of insurance technology. The study used a descriptive form of research approach because the paper attempted to detail many features of the phenomena in this setting. InsurTech development, Indian InsurTech structure, InsurTech start-up in India, InsurTech trends in India, and InsurTech issues are all examined in this research study.

Absence of written document on what brought the emergence of Development Communication in the Batangas State University unwove the conduct of this study. Historical and oral history research methods with qualitative approach were used to conduct this study. Furthermore, the researchers formulated an interview guide for each set of informants who were chosen via a set of criteria devised before the data gathering was done. Informants of the study were first, the former Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences where Development Communication is under, second, the former Faculty Members who taught major subjects in AB Development Communication program of then Pablo Borbon Memorial Institute of Technology (PBMIT) during 1992-2000and lastly, selected students of the program. The researchers have undertaken a workshop with a history instructor to be properly trained and taught on how to conduct historical research. Narrative theory was used as a framework in this study. Document and content analyses and coding were also conducted by the researchers to analyze and interpret retrieved historical documents such as curriculum, instruction, and research and collected narratives of the informants. Themes were derived as results of this study. Moreover, introduction of Development Communication Program rooted from the need for students in the College of Arts and Sciences and of PBMIT in general, and that offering of the Development Communication program which is not offered in other universities in Batangas might cause the recruitment of more students for the institution. Moreover, Ms. Rachelle de Chavez, the daughter of Dr. Ernesto de Chavez (the College President of PBMIT during that time), suggested the offering of the Development Communication program in PBMIT. So, through exposures to several Colleges’ degree programs, the administration headed by then Dr. Ernesto de Chavez considered the adoption of the Development Communication program of the UPLB in 1992. It was then offered under the College of Arts and Sciences as a Bachelor of Arts degree.
由于没有书面文件说明是什么导致了八打雁州立大学发展传播的出现，因此无法进行这项研究。本研究采用史学和口述史研究方法，采用质性研究方法。此外，研究人员还制定了一份访谈指南，针对每组在数据收集完成前通过一套标准选择的举报人。研究对象首先是发展传播所在的文理学院前任院长，其次是1992-2000年期间在当时的巴勃罗·波旁纪念理工学院(PBMIT)教授AB发展传播项目专业课程的前任教师，最后是该项目的学生。研究人员与一名历史讲师一起参加了一个讲习班，接受了如何进行历史研究的适当培训和教授。本研究以叙事理论为研究框架。研究人员还对文献和内容进行了分析和编码，以分析和解释检索到的历史文献，如课程、教学、研究和收集的举报人的叙述。主题是本研究的结果。此外，根据文理学院和PBMIT学生的需求，引入发展交流计划，提供八打雁其他大学没有提供的发展交流计划，可能会为该机构招募更多的学生。此外，当时担任PBMIT院长的Ernesto de Chavez博士的女儿Rachelle de Chavez女士建议在PBMIT开设发展传播项目。因此，通过接触几所大学的学位课程，由当时的埃内斯托·德·查韦斯博士领导的政府考虑在1992年采用ublb的发展传播计划。它后来被文理学院授予文学学士学位。

In the most recent few years, the retail online store has emerged as the most prominent trend in the field of social services. People have a tendency to shop online at retail websites an increasing amount. This pattern is expected to continue to gain momentum as a direct result of the development of 3D virtual reality. As a result of this, the potential for the establishment of online retail outlets has garnered a lot of interest. This study investigates the effect that the proliferation of head-mounted displays (HMDs) has had on foot traffic in retail establishments and investigates how virtual reality (VR) could improve the overall shopping experience for customers at every stage of the journey. We used a qualitative research design, which included interactions with both industry specialists and average customers as part of our investigation. In addition, the purpose of this study is to create new ground by making an attempt to use the existing literature as a guide to assist in predicting future directions and trends for purchasing online.

Virtually instantaneous information dissemination has narrowed the once existing knowledge gap between multinational corporations and customers (i.e. Rana Plaza collapse, 2013). Consumers begin to play a significant role in the support of workers. Their increasing social consciousness has evident economic implications. MNEs have attempted to counteract the loss of social prestige by primarily establishing (and imposing on their suppliers) codes of conduct and ethics that stipulate a minimum level for decent work conditions. This article intends to assess, from many perspectives, the social reputation and social sustainability that have recently drawn the attention of stakeholders (MNEs, consumers, government and non-government organizations, unions). These "new" types of social initiatives (code of behaviour, social ranking, consumer campaigns, and boycotting) are informative and could aid in the dissemination of ILO labour standards. Clearly, they can only provide supplementary assistance to workers who are struggling in the traditional struggle between Work and Capital. The inclination to evaluate the social sensitivity of MNEs using a single criterion that applies to both "developing" and "developed" nations risks fostering a "race to the bottom" mentality.

Research published in the past few years challenges the long-held belief that only privileged Western white young women suffer from eating disorders by showing that food insecurity is one of the elements that can contribute to the rise of eating disorders. However, it appears that legal scholars have ignored this ground-breaking discovery and its ramifications. This research seeks to address this knowledge gap by investigating whether and how human rights international monitoring systems and the law and policy of food security address the correlation between eating disorders and food insecurity. According to our research, the existing legal and policy frameworks do not address this connection. We believe that policymakers would be well-served by acknowledging the possibility that marginalised food insecure people of any age, race, or gender may also struggle with eating disorders.

As society looks for solutions promoting sustainable development, the relationship between innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development is a topic of great importance today. In the context of sustainable development, social innovations also significantly contribute to the growth of sustainopreneurship. In light of the background, this study looks into the challenges Sri Lanka faces in fostering social innovation and sustainopreneurship. Data for the study were gathered through in-depth interviews with fifteen sustainopreneurs in Sri Lanka using the multiple case study technique. The study's findings point to a number of obstacles to the growth of social innovations and sustainopreneurship, including: a) competition from unsustainable firms; b) a lack of government backing; c) expensive costs; and d) people's attitudes about these types of ventures. This study adds to the literature on social innovations and sustainopreneurship due to the paucity of studies in this field. Practitioners and politicians can use the recommendations as important knowledge for future strategic changes.
