The news, media and advertising is quite immediate in the marketing and business world, nowadays. People login to their Facebook accounts from their mobile devices several times a day, e-mails are sent directly to people's smartphones and so on. Mobile marketing is currently one of the most important tools when it comes to advertising. It provides consumers time and location sensitive information that is personalised for them, promoting goods, services and ideas. This research paper discourses the understanding of mobile marketing and the consumer's perception towards it, as well as their comfort level in receiving ads through mobile marketing.
Consumers have shown dissatisfaction when it comes to receiving commercial messages on their mobile and suggested that they will accept this only when it is relevant to them and the number of messages sent to them are reasonable. This study has tried to identify the possible factors that are liked and disliked by the consumer in India and other countries so that companies can run their mobile marketing campaigns as per the consumer's preferences.

Indian tobacco industry is one of the largest commercial sectors and an important source of direct and indirect employment in many regions of the country. With a total production value of US$ 1.6 trillion in 2012, the Tobacco industry's contribution to the nation's GDP amounted to 1.1% representing about 7% of the total for the manufacturing sector. Tobacco, being a labor intensive crop, provides employment to more than 60 lakh people who are engaged in the farming, curing, grading, primary marketing, processing, packaging, manufacturing, distribution, and retailing activities besides exporting.

Financial Inclusion is one of the most treasured strategies in India. Our monetary arrangement has dependably been driven by a basic plan of a practical and comprehensive development. The primary point behind the monetary consideration is to cover the all segment of population under monetary administrations. Government of India (GOI) has introduced some of the major steps to “fund the unfunded” micro enterprises segment. One of the initiatives taken by Government of India (GOI) is Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) which plays an important role in achieving the success of financial inclusion. The idea behind the scheme is to provide the credit requirement to small business upto 10 lakh. This research paper includes the overview of PMMY, performance analysis of the scheme based on state, caste and category, SWOT analysis of the scheme and some recommendations.Keywords

Business excellence or BE is a path to success for any enterprise that has started its new journey in this era of highly competitive market for almost any industry. It is a way to achieve a certain level of competitive advantage over other organisations. But what could be done in times of economic crisis. Some of the industry experts believe that if the organisation stopped considering a time of recession as a crisis and instead as an exploiting opportunity, it not only helps the organisation to survive but also strengthen their position in the industry. The crux of the matter would be to somehow come up with an effective improvement in the strategic plan that would not only help in satisfying the customer and stakeholders but will also help the organisation in overcoming the economic crisis factor. And to work towards this target there should be high involvement of the management and optimum level of use of all the human resources.
The business community or the top management can use the results of this research to achieve business excellence through strategic planning improvements and can withhold their stand in the industry. There has been not much research before connecting the strategic operational planning during the time of economic crisis.
The main takeaway of the study is to somehow save on the extra costs, improve business processes, sustain quality, and improve the level of performance of the staff and management. All of these could be easily achieved if the enterprise can effectively implement these operational business concepts in their own business: Total Quality Management (TQM), Six Sigma and Lean manufacturing system.
