...NOTE ON 24x7 WATER SUPPLY THE CURRENT SITUATION IN INDIA Due to the rise in economy and the increase in migration to cities there is tremendous increase in water demand in recent years in urban areas and this is bound to grow in times to come. Piped water systems have been setup by the Government in most cities. The water supply in most Indian cities is intermittent i.e. a few hours per day, pressure is irregular, and the water is of questionable quality. No major Indian city has a 24 hour supply of water, with 4 to 5 hours of supply per day being the norm. State Governments in India are responsible for choosing urban tariff structures, and the result is wide variety in pricing practices. Currently in states where water and sanitation responsibilities have been legally transferred to ULBs, the reality has been that the ULBs have not become fully empowered, for instance: * The state retains responsibility for the appointment of key staff, who are often employees of centralized state organizations; * Decision making and implementation for capital expenditure remains largely under state control; * Key decisions on tariff remain at the state level; and * Arrangements for fiscal transfers between state and ULBs are complex, and do not provide incentives for improved financial performance. In effect, responsibility for the services is split between the ULB and the state. Inevitably, there is role confusion and a lack of overall accountability to the consumer. There...

...Title: An Ethnographic Study about the Homeless Youth in the Philippines Target Group: Street Children ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY A requirement in Society and Culture GAMALIEL VALENCIA Submitted by: Belarmino, Mary Grace S. INTRODUCTION: I chose to study the life and behaviors of the street children on the busy road of Balibago Complex at Sta. Rosa Laguna, to gain a better understanding of their conditions. The main purpose of this study is to discover how they manage to live in a very dangerous condition, as well as the perception of trust, hostility, and aggression among peers and the authority. It also aims to find out their lives regarding their families, if they have one and why they decided to run away from them. Why do they usually choose to stay on the street and run away from the local authorities that will give them shelter, food and everything they need? How can they manage to find a place for sleeping every cold evening, and mostly with an empty stomach? Seeing street children is very common for us that we can say that it is already part of everyone’s day, especially if you’re living around the urban places. It is heartbreaking to see them and think that, these kids should be in school studying, not struggling to work under the scorching heat. In Balibago; one of the busiest town in our place, you can see a lot of these kids roaming around nudging people, mostly around the mall asking for money or food. Some of them are always on the run catching jeepneys...

In simple words organic farming is way and means to cultivate naturally, in other word primitively in a sense. The primary goal of organic agriculture is to optimize the health and productivity of interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and people. From economic point of...

...the developing countries there is a predominance of self-employment. This non-homogeneous character of labour markets in developing countries also implies that the nature of employment and the manner in which it is created is different in the two world’s. In the developing countries the vast majority of the population is left to fend for itself and create employment out of its own ingenuity, skills and capital. This leads to vast differences in the nature of employment and the creation of dualistic structure of ‘formal’and ‘informal’ components of the labour market. A large proportion of the workforce is in the unorganised or informal sector. These workers are engaged in economic activities with lower productivity resulting in lower incomes. They are also engaged in activities with less stable employment contracts (including the self-employed) and fewer social security benefits. While the wages and salaries of the formal sector workers are periodically revised to counter inflation. No such benefits accrue to the large proportion of workers in the unorganised sector. Inspite of growing literature on the informal sector, there are several gaps not only with respect to the data on the size of the sector, but also with respect to the concept and definition of informal sector, characteristics of the sector, its contribution to the national economy and the areas for...

Health insurance ranks as the most important benefit that employees seek from an employer. This topic has been on the hot seat for most companies and employers. Health care costs are on the rise and companies are trying to find ways to combat it. How does this affect the employer/company? How does this affect the benefit offered to the employee?
