An Empirical Study of Internal Control System Impact on Co-operative Banks Employees

Internal controls are defined as the plans of an organization, including management's attitude, methods, procedures, and measures that provide reasonable assurance that the objectives are being achieved. The study set out to investigate the role of internal control system in the performance of co-operative banks in India. Specifically, the study sought to establish the effect of control environment on the performance of co-operative banks. To achieve the objective of the study an empirical study has been applied. For the collection of data, a questionnaire has been designed and circulated among 217 respondents. The study found a significant relationship between control environment, control activities, monitoring, and performance of co-operative banks. The study recommended that control environment, control activities, and monitoring should be enhanced in order to further improve the performance of co-operative banks.

A Brief Study of the Changing Nature of Indian Foreign Policy

The foreign policy of a country is the sum total of the principles, interests, and objectives which it seeks to promote through its relations with other countries. Preservation of national interest, achievement of world peace, disarmament, independence for Afro-Asian nations has been important objectives of India’s foreign policy. INDIA'S foreign policy between 1947 and 1964 was conceived almost entirely by one man - Jawaharlal Nehru. The systemic constraints on India’s foreign policy stemmed from the onset of the Cold War which virtually coincided with India’s independence in 1947. In the parliamentary election of March 1977, Indira Gandhi was defeated but while addressing the nation, Janta Party leader Morarji Desai as Prime Minister stressed to follow same policy on external issues. The changes in Indian foreign policy are based on India's aspirations for great power status and coincide with, or at least follow the Indian economic reforms since the 1990s. One of the successful achievements the Indian policymakers achieved was 123 Agreement which signed between New Delhi and Washington. The Narendra Modi-led government which came into power in 2014 has accorded high priority to India’s Look East Policy. He made known to the world that India is not merely ‘Looking East’ but is now ‘Acting East’ as well, thus, revising the title to ‘India’s Act-East Policy’. The themes of greater connectivity, stronger cooperation, and broader contacts dominate India’s engagement with its neighbors today.

Case Study

Evaluation of Post Disaster Mitigation Strategy of Bhuj Earthquake

The Bhuj earthquake 2001 caused many property losses and life losses.so The re-construction and re-habitation work to be carried out in this paper carry out studies about what is the evaluating strategy conducted in Bhuj Earthquake. A number of new activities and initiatives have been possible due to the enhanced level of awareness and interest caused by this earthquake. After this earthquake, the earthquake codes are developed and the construction of earthquake-proof building comes into existence in an evaluation of post-disaster mitigation collect the data about the seismic hazards, exposed to hazards in terms of life loss, property loss, and business and vulnerability assessment. For finding out the solution follow the method like structural, locational, operational and risk transfer. Then carry out the estimation of potential losses in particular area and examining alternative loss reduction techniques, which involves identifying the effectiveness of each alternative in reducing losses and the associated cost. There is the different strategy and methods are used in reconstruction work of Bhuj Earthquake. The awareness of the people about the disaster mitigation is developed by the awareness programs by the government and different authority.

Comparative Study of Jointing material used in Blockwork

Nowadays, the making of mortar on site is lacking today due to its significant growth and necessity of exact gauging and mixing of the mortar which has been manufactured by many industries due to increasing share of a market that would expanse rare contemporarily on-site mixing happen are to be observed. The practical experiment aims at this paper which presents the comparison of two mortars with their general specifications entitled in this project overview and difference of initial work to be carried out for the laying of brickwork by alternate types of jointing mortar i.e. e-mix mortar and Ultratech fix block jointing mortar at the construction site and conclusion of this project comprise that as per contractors condition and client requirement any one material can be adopted at a particular site.

Children: Issues & Challenges

Children are valuable asset of every Country because they are the future citizen of State. It is also the responsibilities of the Government to see that they grow up as responsible citizens. The people of India belief that children are a boon of God and no efforts should be made to oppose successfully his blessings. The economically weaker sections believe that more children they bear the more the helping hands there would be. But they do not realize the fact that there would also be an additional mouth to feed with every additional child, The result is that children lead a life of deprivation and are left to fend for themselves and sometimes even for their families. In the absence of proper childhood and education, they often take to immoral ways to sustain themselves.

Green Synthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles using Tinosopora Cordifolia Extract and their Antimicrobial Activity

In the present research, the synthesis of silver nanoparticles by the green method is done using stem and leaves aqueous extract of Tinospora Cordifolia (T.C). The pathway of nanoparticles formation is by means of reduction of silver nitrate by extracts, which act as both reducing and capping agents. The silver nanoparticles characterized by UV-Vis-spectrometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometer, Scanning electron microscopy, Energy dispersive spectroscopy. The sizes of the synthesized silver nanoparticles are found to be in the range of 27- 58 nm. The energy dispersive spectrum confirmed the presence of silver metal. The silver nanoparticles synthesized in this process have the efficient antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria like Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Serratia marcescens using paper disc diffusion method.
