Find the gap and problems. Prepare a paper on the distribution practices. Introduction: We visited 3 villages to check the distribution practices of product and services. The names of the villages are Ahire Gaon, Kondhwa Village, Barshi takli. These villages are located at a distance of 30 km from pune and come under grampanchayat. The villages have a population of approximately 8000 each and located at a distance of 9km from each other. The main occupation of these villages is farming and fishery (as located very near to khadakwasla dam) however at least one or two members of almost every house hold goes to city for a labour work wherein they are involved in construction work. Market: Mandi : The villages have a common market called mandi wherein all the villagers buy vegetables and fruits in bulk and it is seen that they visit twice a week to buy these items.

...its third world cup. The notable performances of these people included Sehwag's 175 in the 2011 tournament opener which set the cup for India, Yuvraj's all-round performance, Zaheer's 21 all important wickets and Gambhir's 97 in the final. Though we are going to miss these legends a lot, this is definitely not unfair in any regards. It's not unfair to drop players who have been out or in and out of the ODI squad for more than a year, haven't performed enough for a national recall and are competing with much younger legs. For a layman person, the squad may seem empty enough for consolation places, however at the same time it would have been harsh to not offer hope to young, deserving men like Kedar Jadhav, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson and Dhawal Kulkarni. They are expected to serve Indian cricket for the next decade. While nothing can be taken away from the left-out’s contribution to Indian cricket, the selectors decision makes complete sense. Let’s analyze the performance of these stalwarts in last few years. Sehwag, 36 hasn’t played an ODI in last two years. His last notable performance though was the blistering double hundred against the West Indies, but after that he has not managed to have a single notable performance. Even in the domestic circuit, he has been found lacking against the pace and bounce of not so fast domestic bowlers. Harbhajan’s last match was The Hyderabad Test against Australia in March 2013. Ashwin took five wickets in Australia's second innings and...

...(Many people are writing on corruption and I feel the need to comment. So, I thought I should make a small essay and paste the relevant paragraphs whenever someone posts something on corruption. You may skip reading it for three reasons – one, it is just academic suiting only few who love English essays; two, you are likely to read it later on various comments, in parts though and third, it’s quite long and you risk falling asleep while going through it) Bribes are not, always, about citizens being harassed by officials to get legitimate and legal work done. It is more about people who are not entitled to few services or papers, trying to get those services and papers by paying bribes. Example, of this is can be found in people who try to get passports from addresses which they have not occupied for sufficient periods. And, it is, equally, about someone who had broken a law trying to get away by paying a bribe, like a driver paying bribe to traffic inspector to get rid of penalties. Instances of successful bribes, however small these might be, create a habit in individuals to get their work done. When I say “get their work done” I don’t mean just legal and rightful ones, but unrightfully and undeserved one as well. It is very common for us to see people paying donations and bribes to get their kids into schools and colleges ahead of other meritorious students. It is equally common to see people trying to make fake medical certificates for various purposes or people resorting...

...1. Introduction Tourism is a very familiar affair in human life. It has been an industry of vast dimensions and ultimately supports economic growth and social development. In order to promote tourism in Nepal, the ninth five year plan has made a 20 year long strategic programme. The main objective of this programme is to develop Nepalese tourism up to the desirable standard. As far as the 20 years long-term tourism policy is concerned, our government has decided to increase the arrival of tourists in average 12, 47,830 every year. And expected income of foreign currency to be 1663.6 million dollar every year. And the average staying of the tourists extended up to 15 days (Nepal Tourism Board, 2000). The Ninth five-year plan says the government is serious about the uplifting of Nepalese tourism, which needs great care and protection. "For the constant development of the Nepalese tourism, it has been commonly decided to give equal priority to some other factors, which do also affect the tourism sector directly. Such as development and expansion of tourism sites, necessary infrastructure for tourism, promotion of tourism market, improvement in civil aviation, protection of environment and involvement of private sector in the promotion of Nepalese tourism, etc" (The People’s Review 2001). Hence long term vision is to promote village tourism for poverty alleviation including ecotourism and domestic tourism. Recent development on tourism is highly concentrated on development of trained...

...Bombay High Court 1 1862 - 2012 A Journey of 150 Years through some Memorable Judgments Part 1 2 PREFACE A tiny kernel of an idea planted by Justice Mridula Bhatkar took root, and has resulted in a humble effort to present before you a compendium of the crux of some of the judgments of the Judges who have served the Bombay High Court since its inception in 1862.1 The initial idea was to document one judgment of the First Court from each year which was modified to include a judgment of the Bombay High Court of each year. I soon realized that it was too expansive an idea to merit a single judgment a year. I could collect and collate, as many as ten judgments which would qualify to show the development of the law we desired to portray. Having found too vast a number of such judgments, I had to settle at a more reasonable figure of about five judgments each year to showcase the progress this Court has made from its illustrious beginnings. Our Chief Justice Mohit Shah and our Justice Chandrachud wholeheartedly supported the idea to complement the Book published on this the sesquicentennial of our Court. As the number of Judges grew, fewer judgments of each Judge would be selected as illustrations. These judgments are not the only path-finding groundbreaking ones; they are also ones with simplicity and legal elegance. The number of judgments we settled upon just would not permit all deserving judgments to be compiled; only a few have been picked from each year as the first in...
