Global warming is a serious problem faced by the world today as an after effect of Industrial Revolution. Due to the concentration of green-house gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide which has been injected into the lower atmosphere; warming of earth’s surface and rising near surface air temperature have been caused. It has resulted into climatic variation, geological change and as such is impacting the human, animal and aquatic lives considerably. Changes in weather patterns have led to change in winds, ocean currents and precipitation patterns. Such changes have impacted the agriculture, flora and fauna. If not checked in time, global warming shall lead to serious disasters. It would lead to the change in solar radiation and the insolation pattern ultimately affecting the geometry of earth’s orbit around the Sun. Earth’s axis may tilt due to direct rays of the Sun wiping out the life on earth. Environmental degradation poses a great danger to man’s own survival. Climatologists believe that the rising of global average temperatures would result into significant ecological, societal and economic damage. Human influence on environment has increased manifold due to the rapid population growth and fast development in technology. The increasing amount of burning of fossil fuels in industries, the vehicular emission, burning of coal or leaves for residential purposes have increased the Greenhouse effect. If fossil fuels are being burnt at current rate, they may concentrate at the level of 560 ppm in lower atmosphere by mid-21st century. The flooding of atmosphere with carbon dioxide would melt the glaciers and the intensity of hurricanes may increase. Consequently many species shall extinct affecting the death and birth rates. It should be realized that conservation of environment is vital for the survival and well-being of mankind. Hence public policy needs to be formulated to regulate the carbon concentrations in air. It is high time to understand the alarming situations and make laws at national and international levels so as to keep the global warming under check and control environmental degradation. UNFCC,

Venture capital exist through IPO could improve financing conditions of enterprises and increase funding for enterprise innovation. But it also could cause the distortion of venture investors’ incentives and affect innovation performance of enterprises. Using the sample of the listed technological companies in China, considering the events of venture capital exist through IPO, the research empirically analyzed the effects of venture capital exist through IPO on enterprise innovation with the random effects panel regression and Poisson panel regression. The research documents that the offer amount of IPO, the holding period of venture capital, the number of shareholding venture capitals and the return of venture capital investment have significant positive correlation with the performance of enterprise innovation.

India is a land of history and heritage. Our vibrant and rich culture is as diverse as its people. Literature, specially drama and theatre, lives in the soil of our land since the beginning of civilization. Folk theatre is a non-commercial, rural pageantry based on folk traditions and local history. At one time, it was the biggest source of entertainment in the Indian villages. But post-independence, this art form was unable to keep up with the changing times. In my research paper, I propose to trace the history of Indian folk theatre and its current status. I would also attempt to draw attention to its significance for the modern generation vis-a-vis electronic media.

We are living in a world characterized by technological advancement and change. Recently there has been a surge in the suicide rates among the teenagers across the world and the cause is attributed to the “Blue Whale Game”. This online game was invented by Philip Budeikin and he justified the self-mutilating nature of the game as an act of cleansing the biological waste of society. India has not been immune from the attack of the Blue Whale Challenge suicide and there has been instances of such suicides or suicide attempts in the cities of Mumbai, Kolkata, and Thiruvananthapuram. As per the Hindustan Times Report (2017), 130 boys and girls across the world were the victims of the Blue Whale Challenge. Therefore, this study attempts to interpret the seemingly ‘individual act’ of suicide from different sociological perspectives namely, the structural functional perspective, conflict theory, symbolic interactionist approach, and postmodern perspectives.
