The country, on one hand, is expected to enjoy an adverse sex ratio. The situation is almost identical in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The panorama demands a careful investigation into gender statistics. Accordingly, the study based on secondary data attempts to examine the influence of literacy and illiteracy on selective sex births in rural and urban areas. The study on the basis of parametric analyses finds that literacy significantly contributes to selective sex births both in urban and rural areas and illiteracy largely favors unselective sex births. Moreover, the study observes that selective sex births syndrome is overwhelmingly adopted by the literate population. This seems a major reason for the aggravated sex ratio in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Moreover, the study on the basis of some advanced studies in medical science emphasizes that eliminating feticide on the basis of advanced medical aid is yet not a full proof procedure to know exactly the type sex of new birth in advance. Therefore, the paper attempts to refute the belief that the sex of a foetus not be determined exactly. The reality the fact is that the sex of a foetus cannot be determined exactly before the actual birth. Thus the study concludes that the gender statistics imbroglio is a very crucial issue and its myths and realities should be exposed in the light of advanced medical science along with eliminating emerging socio-economic evils in the society.

In this research paper, which is descriptive in nature, researchers have tried to portray the support of telecom industry during COVID-19 situation to other sectors and challenges faced by it. The source of data is basically secondary by nature. Private players of telecom industry like Reliance Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea are studied in detail. During COVID situation, most people were confined to homes. The economy and businesses were run from home. Besides, when people had more leisure time at their disposal, the usage of data resulting from surfing, chatting, browsing, playing online games and so on increased drastically. This led to growth of telecom industry. The paper concludes that telecom industry is a booming sector, and it had low losses as compared to others. How telecos are responding to various challenges is also discussed in this paper. Priyanka S.

The socio-economic status of majority of rural communities in the state is poor. Besides cultivation of various agricultural and commercial crops, the population of the state also practices fishing, breeding, sericulture, ceramics, husbandry, pottery etc. for their livelihood options. To understand various problems and prospects of socio economic development of rural communities, a case study was conducted in the Lakhimpur district of Assam. As a part of the study, this present paper addresses the livelihood aspects and socio economic condition of the rural communities in the Lakhimpur district of Assam. The district Lakhimpur is situated in the northern bank of the Brahmaputra river and about 91 per cent population reside in the rural areas. For the primary data collections 8 villages are selected randomly 4 from each of two Developmental Blocks namely the Nowboicha and Narayanpur. In total, 160 household families are randomly selected considering each village’s 10 percent respondents are randomly selected for final data collection. The data are collected through personal interviews using standard questionnaire. The study reveals that although the agriculture is the main employment and livelihood options of the people, the productivity and economic performance of agriculture is very poor. Regular floods, as well as the lack of irrigation and modern facilities are found as critical factors of poor performance of agriculture. To meet their daily needs, people have adopted other options, such as fishing and fishing, cattle breeding, cattle rearing and handicrafts etc. but even these activities do not provide enough earning to meet fulfil their basic needs. The lack of various infrastructures not only limits the livelihood options of the rural mass but also hinders their socio economic development.

As in today’s time period people are investing comparatively more in stock market, so it becomes essential to take calculative risk. As we know after globalization, Indian investors have been trading globally and so for minimizing their risk in stock market, which is due to volatility and other factors. This study will help investors to know about the trend of past 10 years for its inter linkages between the stock markets of countries namely India, US, Japan and China. For minimizing the loss in stock market, we have tested the daily data from January 2010 to December 2020 by applying Unit Root Test and Engle-Granger Cointegration Test. The results of Augmented Dickey Fuller Test shows that the data of all stock markets are stationary at first difference. And the results of Engle-Granger Causality Test shows that there exists cointegration between the stock markets. This test has given the results that stock market of India is interlinked with US, Japan and China. Now it can be said that decision affecting the stock market of US, Japan or China [in any of the mentioned countries] will also affect the Indian stock market. Investors now can take decision wisely about their international trading in stock market. As the stock markets are interlinked with Indian stock markets, this also means that decisions or changes or the factors affecting the Indian stock market will also affect the stock markets of US, Japan and China.

Jetawat https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/gjrm/article/view/215790 Thu, 30 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000 The Hurdle to Implementation of ABC in Automotive engineering MSME Units in Gujarat https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/gjrm/article/view/215795 There has been much debate over the best method of accounting for the costs incurred by India's manufacturing sector, particularly the sectors devoted to the mechanical processing of goods. However, it is widely accepted that many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Automotive Engineering industry continue to use outdated costing methods because they lack access to modern resources and training. In their review of the existing literature, the authors identified a need for further investigation into the challenges faced by the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in India's Automotive Engineering Industry when adopting the ABC costing approach. The ubiquity of SMEs, especially those involved in the automotive engineering industry, gives this study great importance for offering practical advice.
