Abstract: The purpose of this study is to assess, in Indian context, the validity of ‘Wagner’s law” which has spawned a large number of empirical studies because of its important implications. According to Wagner, expenditure is an endogenous factor or outcome of growth process during   industrialisation. As real national income increases there is a tendency for the public expenditure to increase relative to national income. To investigate this long run relationship between government expenditure and national income we employed Engel –Yoo three step cointegration methods along with Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test and Engel –Granger causality test, on time series annual data for Indian economy over the period from 1980-81-to 2012-13. We found a unidirectional causality running from GDP/GDP per capita to public expenditure thus supporting Wagner’s hypothesis of increasing public sector in India. Since there is no causality running from government expenditure to GDP, using public expenditure as effective policy instrument for long run economic growth is not supported by this empirical exercise? Although this paper makes use of only two prominent specifications for testing Wagner’s law, a brief description of other commonly used models, with necessary conditions is also given in the main text.

Abstract: History subject is often seen as a boring subject. It has a lot of old facts that students find it difficult to memorize. This is the common complaint from secondary school students when asked about the History subject. This qualitative study is carried out to uncover the underlying reasons why History is seen as a boring subject. Methods such as observations, interviews and review of documents are used to gather the data. There are nine History teachers participated in this study. They have been observed, interviewed and the relevant documents were reviewed to find out their teaching approach and to identify the reasons for the approach to be implemented. The finding shows that these participants are using teacher-centred approach with conventional teaching activities and excessive used of the textbook. The main reason given for such teaching is the constraint of time. These teachers have to complete teaching the syllabus before the centralized exam being held. As a result of such teaching the values, especially the patriotic values, which was emphasized in the curriculum of this subject is last inculcated in the teaching. Based on the finding, it can be concluded that the examination is the underlying reason for the subject to be seen as a boring subject. These teachers do not have many options to change their approach of teaching History. Since the centralize examination is compulsory, therefore, teachers have to be creative and innovative in order to make the teaching of History more interesting for the students and the patriotic values can be inculcated.

Abstract: The last decade has witnessed that education sector has dominated economic planning in all over developing countries of the world. During this time, the countries transformed from developing to advanced economies due to strategic planning and a larger vision that correlated economic development to transformation in the education sector, in particular Higher Education and Research, to become globally competitive. Despite many new National Missions/Programs and reforms agenda, by both the central and state governments with private sector intervention, the higher education sector is in a state of complete flux in India. While we have tremendously enhanced capacity, we lag in quality, given inadequate autonomy to our Universities. Centralized control and a standardized approach remains at the heart of regulations (FICCI, 2013).
This paper, newly explains about the Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA)/National Higher Education Mission, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) for reforming the State Higher Education System in India. The end part of the title also portrays the economic impact of the scheme on the current Higher Education System of Manipur in the North-Eastern States of India.

Abstract:  This article discusses the historical development of Japanese investment in Malaysia between the years 1981 and 1990. When Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad took over the administration, Japanese investment in the country has been growing rapidly as Japan emerged as the largest trading partner of Malaysia. The consequence of crisis with the British government witness by 1982 Japan’s position in Malaysia has further strengthened through the implementation of the Look East Policy. Through this policy, the Japanese management system and work ethic has been widely publicized to continue the pro-Japanese orientation. Although researcher found too many previous studies on Japanese investment in Malaysia, this study will complement previous studies by the data collected from different sources from previous researchers. The different data will also provide new insight to the reader about the history of Japanese investments in this period. The main focus of the Japanese investments directed at the investment date, the parties involved, the amount of capital, total employees, location and sector expertise.

Abstract:  India’s flagship programme Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) for Universaliation of Elementary Education has enhanced enrolment rate and retention of children in school. The country has now shifted its focus from retention to quality of education for improvement in children’s learning achievements. Various strategies have been taken up by different states to enhance enrolment, improve access, retention, enhancing learning and developing employable skills in children through NVEQF.

UNESCO has also included these issues in its General Education Quality Analysis Framework (GEQAF) and has tested these 14 tools in India by undertaking pilot studies in Madhya Pradesh and Meghalaya. In view of gathering information regarding some of these issues, some important observations were made during the field work in a government school of Madhya Pradesh located in a village.

The Govt. of Madhya Pradesh has implemented various schemes to address issues of retention and enhancing enrolment under SSA and RTE (Right To Education). These include Mid-day-meals (MDM), bicycles, books, uniform, scholarship, etc. which cover all kinds of needs of school going children. These arrangements increased enrolment of children surprisingly. More girls are enrolled in this village located co-ed school. But when it comes to quality of education and learning achievement of children, it is a serious concern. When parents and teachers were interviewed, 100% parents said that “we are not afraid of attendance and their studies because our children will definitely be promoted to the next class”. Teachers also told that “children are reluctant to study”. This single thought has led to very poor performance. More than 95% children could not read 3 letter English words, were unable to write simple English alphabets and could not copy and write sentences from their books. The situation is similar in all the subjects. Besides, poor attendance of children in schools, reluctance of teachers is also there because of lots of other non-teaching work, etc.

The paper similar observations have also been presented besides showcasing status of ‘No Detention Policy’ on different states. This paper is aimed to bring this mater for discussion in the seminar and come up with certain suggestions/ remedial measures to overcome these problems faced due to ‘No Detention Policy’.

Abstract: The Indian pharmaceutical sector has come a long way, being almost non-existent at the time of independence to a prominent provider of healthcare products, meeting almost all the pharmaceutical needs of the country. Over the years, India has become an attractive investment destination for FDI. The study undertakes the task of assessing the current scenario of FDI in the Pharmaceutical sector in India. With the help of available relevant secondary data, a qualitative approach was followed for the study. It was found that the major factors that are attracting FDI in pharmaceutical sector are: increase in domestic demand, rise in outsourcing activities, growth in healthcare financing products, demand in the generics market, demand from emerging segments, large numbers of forthcoming patent expiries, dry pipeline of new drugs. But simultaneously, there are some challenges which this pharmaceutical industry is facing, for example: low government expenditure on healthcare, inadequate investment in healthcare infrastructure rural areas, lack of proper policy framework to attract larger FDI in healthcare sector, especially in the area of research and development, focus on price-controlling policy, lack of robust policies governing IPRs, lack of data protection, bureaucratic hurdles. There might be more technology transfer in the future when the IPRs are protected. It is possible that under the new patent laws, MNCs will start to outsource even patented drugs in India; consequently there will be larger scope for technology transfer spillovers in the future. It is in the interest of the state to provide public policies and a sound economic environment to encourage benefit from FDI.

Abstract: The employees of Indian software industry are known to be “well paid” people in India. This industry has been the dream industry of most of the youth coming out of the colleges. With emergence of ERP and other business process oriented packages, it is attracting non-engineering graduates as well. Presently Indian software industry is at a phase where it is striving to get up the value chain to maintain its edge over the emerging competitors like China, Philippines, Brazil etc. This has resulted in increasing demand for experienced and more productive work force in the industry. As per the law of demand, this increased demand is leading to higher wage rates for that workforce. However as there is human psychology involved instead of commodities, the statistics show a different picture. Depending on socio-economic conditions, sometimes even the high-wage offer cannot attract better workforce. The purpose of this paper is to discuss such wage elasticity of employee engagement among Indian software work force.
