Humanitarian Crisis in Indian Jammu and Kashmir: An Analysis

Human rights violations in the part of Kashmir ruled by India are the subject of this article. The part of Kashmir under Indian administration suffers from the ongoing violation of human rights. Their daily lives now involve everything from political repression and the oppressive conditions of free speech to mass murders, forced disappearances, torture, rape, and sexual abuse. Extremist organizations, border guards, and the Indian Central Reserve Police Force have all been charged with and found guilty of serious violations of human rights against Kashmiri civilians. The rebels in Kashmir believe that the part of the country that is ruled by India is a part of Pakistan. Thus, the only people who are allowed to live on that area are Pakistanis. However, the question of how far it is acceptable to create one's existence at the expense of ending the lives of people who are completely innocent and have no fault of their own other than the fact that they were born on that property emerges. Numerous questions have been raised by this upheaval, all of which deserve our serious attention and prompt resolution.

Navigating the Indian Tax Landscape: An Introduction to the Current Regime

India's charge framework comprises a complex exchange of coordinate and roundabout charges required by both the central government and state governments. This unique gives a brief diagram of the current assess administration in India, with a specific center on the later changes presented for person taxpayers. The presentation highlights the two essential charge structures accessible to people: the conventional administration and the recently presented administration. The conventional administration offers different derivations and exceptions, whereas the unused administration gloats lower assess rates but kills these benefits. The unique digs into the key highlights of the current administration, counting the later adjustments made in the 2023 budget. It emphasizes the significant choice person citizens confront: choosing between maximizing derivations beneath the conventional administration or selecting for the lower charge rates of the unused regime. The Indian assess scene presents a complex and energetic environment molded by advancing administrative systems and financial objectives. This unique gives an early on investigation into the winning assess administration in India, highlighting key highlights, later advancements, and challenges confronted by citizens and policymakers alike. Our examination dives into the foundational viewpoints of Indian tax assessment, including coordinate and circuitous assess frameworks, counting wage charge, corporate assess, products and administrations charge (GST), traditions obligations, and other demands. We illustrate the transaction between these components, emphasizing their affect on businesses, financial specialists, and people working inside the Indian market. India's energetic assess administration presents both openings and challenges for citizens. This paper investigates the current scene, diving into the complexities of coordinate charges pertinent to people. The investigation centers on the later presentation of a modern charge administration nearby the existing conventional administration, highlighting the key highlights and contemplations for exploring this double framework.

The Criminalisation of the Indian-Irani Community by British Colonial Administration in India During Years 1842 to 1940 and Onwards

Indian Iranis are denotified/nomadic tribes living in India since the sixteenth century. A large migrating group of them was declared criminals under British law. Post-independence too this label continued. Even today, police, media and society treat them as criminals. This article argues that though the British-targeted group of the Indian-Irani community was not involved in crime considerably (28 convictions of petty thefts in 98 years), it was noted as criminal tribes in police reports in and around the Bombay presidency from the year 1842 to 1940. A Police Report on Vagrant Bands of Foreigners of 1879 and notes and books by the then British police officers reflect the same. A then foreign-originated, nontribal, isolated community of Indian Iranis was labelled as criminals by the British colonial administration step-wise. The article briefs that the undue criminalisation of one group from this community further led to the criminalisation of the larger group from this community in independent India. Primary data witnessing the impact of such constant criminalisation on the current generation of the community in Ambivli, Thane district, Maharashtra is also briefly discussed in this article. The theories of labelling in criminology most fit to describe this criminalisation.

Challenges of Health Care Administrators in India: Reference from Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh

Background: Since the last few decades, India's healthcare system has been on a progressive path, contributing to the country's increasing economy. It is one of the most important sectors in terms of employment, money, and infrastructure. With such quick expansion and progress, issues are bound in all parts of healthcare that are overseen by hospital managers. This study was conducted with the goal of determining the actual factor (independent/dependent) that influences the administrator's decision-making. This study assists in assessing the obstacles experienced by healthcare administrators in managing and operating hospitals on a daily basis, which will aid in determining strategies to overcome the challenges.
 Materials and Methods A survey of 142 hospital administrators and managers from 48 different healthcare facilities (references from Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh) was conducted. A systematic questionnaire was used to collect data in MS Excel. To determine the determinants influencing administrators for the quality of healthcare services offered by Indian healthcare organizations, exploratory in-depth individual and focus group interviews were conducted with 142 healthcare stakeholders, including healthcare providers, managers, policymakers, and payers. A Google-form questionnaire and a phone call were used to make contact.
 Results: The bulk of the subjects had more than ten years of hospital administration experience, and 69% held a Masters in hospital administration degree, with the remaining holding other management degrees.87% of respondents believe that managing change (e.g., procedure, method, compliance with standards for staff/team members) is one of the most difficult issues for administrators in any firm. 88% of respondents identified increased patient load, increased internet usage, patients' ability to influence their own health, and enhanced awareness as obstacles. 85.7% agreed that greater population health knowledge and expectations, as well as improved patient safety and quality implementation - NABH, JCI, etc. of the hospital, can be problematic. Providing quality treatment at the right time, in the right place, with adequate resources was also seen as a critical difficulty for administrators. The Chi square test (Chi square value 0.197646, p value-.00001) revealed that the observed distribution differed from the expected distribution. It is possible to conclude that there is a relationship between the category variables. Significant link between legislative and regulatory organizations with regard to licensing, renewals, and periodic audits with years of expertise of hospital administrators. Ordinal regression (stat: 0.602985) and R square (stat: 0.363591) indicate that more independent variables with a substantial association with dependent variables should be sought. There was no other significant relationship discovered. Spearman correlation (rs = 0.66262, p (2-tailed) = 0.03681) interprets a linear correlation between independent (categorical/ordinal variables) and dependent (continuous variables) witnesses a perfect correlation of rank, thus implying a direct relationship between the variables.
 Conclusion: This study shows that all hospital administrators working in various healthcare settings encounter considerable obstacles on a daily basis. As a result, it may have a direct impact on patient care quality and hospital economy. It must be addressed with particular solutions such as smarter financial standards, cost-effective ways, and the promotion of tech-enabled programmes in order to improve the patient community's access to quality health care. This study discovers and limits the field of future research by identifying additional variables that may have a substantial correlation between continuous and categorical variables that may better explain the issues.

Analysing Citizen-centric Administration in the Context of Assam with Special Reference to Assam Chah Bagicha Dhan Puraskar Scheme

Citizen-centric administration is one of the significant components of good governance. Public administration in India has been trying to provide different measures for the welfare of marginalised and disadvantaged sections of the society. Tea-garden workers of Assam are significantly in a disadvantaged position since the colonial period. Low wages, poverty, illiteracy and poor socio-economic conditions of the tea-garden workers of Assam have further pushed them into a marginalised state. Therefore, the Government of Assam has adopted different welfare mechanisms for the upliftment of the tea-garden workers of the State. It is in this context that the present study tries to analyse the role of the Assam Chah Bagicha Dhan Puraskar Scheme (Tea Garden Financial Incentive Scheme) primarily aimed at financial inclusion of the tea-garden workers of Assam as a step-forward to citizen-centric administration. This article also highlights the perception and challenges of the tea-garden workers while accessing the financial inclusion measure in their respective tea estates.

From Colonial India to Semi-Colonial Republican China: Imaginaries and Realities of Civil Service and State-Building in Salt Administration, 1912–45

This article studies the Sino-Foreign Salt Inspectorate, which was imposed upon a weak Chinese government by an international consortium from 1913 till 1949. The founder of the Salt Inspectorate was Sir Richard Dane, a high-level civil servant in the Indian Civil Service with long experience in salt tax administration in India. This article charts the development of the Salt Inspectorate, considering how it maintained its organisational integrity in a hostile policy environment through core strategies of simplification, bureaucratisation and insulation. The Salt Inspectorate stands as an exemplar of liberal imperial order in its replication of the Indian Civil Service and classic British liberal ideals of political economy, operating in the midst of a dangerous policy environment of civil war, rising nationalism and foreign invasion.

Systemic risk management in India: An analytics perspective

The rapid changes in socio-economic and environmental factors worldwide have resulted in natural and man-made disasters becoming increasingly difficult to manage. The emergence of systemic threats that are cross-border, complex, ambiguous, and uncertain in nature, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, has made traditional risk management methods inadequate. Many countries, including India, are struggling to address the challenges posed by these systemic vulnerabilities, leading to unresolved policy and governance problems.This research emphasises the need for comprehensive and proactive risk management methods that can address the challenges posed by systemic vulnerabilities, rather than reactive and fragmented approaches. The research identifies crucial turning points in India's disaster management history and explores the prospects for improved disaster risk governance in the country. The report underlines good advances in disaster administration in India, but it also emphasises the need for more systemic development in overall disaster risk management. The research identifies key design principles for India's systemic risk management that can help improve disaster risk management. This understanding can aid in developing effective frameworks, policies, and strategies to control systemic disaster risks and align with major international objectives such as the Sustainable Development Goals and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.

Interventions of Organizational Identification and Job Satisfaction on Person-Environment Perceptions and Work Engagement: Insights for K12 School Administrators in India

ABSTRACT Disengaged teachers in leadership roles cannot be role models for students and teachers. Expecting them to take school too far can be too much of an expectation. This paper explores how three critical attributes of person-environment fit influence the work engagement of K12 school administrators through their organizational identification and job satisfaction. Data collected from 303 private school administrators is analysed through structural equation modelling. This work provides insight to school promoters on how they can enhance their schools’ institutional memory, the performance of students and the teachers. Besides being practically insightful, this work also attempts to broaden the theory of person-environment fit concerning organizational upshots.

Lateral Entry into Government: A Recurring Theme in Administrative Reforms

The question of inducting fresh talent into government has been a subject of perennial debate. Several Committees and Commissions in post-Independence India have addressed this issue and suggested steps to attract talent from outside the government. The question of providing lateral entry and inter-service mobility is closely intertwined with whether there is a need to specialise, and, if so, at what stage in a civil servant’s career. An analysis of various Commission Reports provides useful insights into this issue. The article examines the suggestions made by various Commissions and their ramifications for Indian Administration. It explores the implications of lateral entry into the civil services and its impact on the administration.

Administering Indian citizenship

ABSTRACT Primary legislation on Indian citizenship – particularly the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 – has recently attracted a great deal of attention. However, secondary legislation, and administrative policies and practices, which form the backbone of citizenship administration in India, have mostly escaped scholarly and public attention. This is concerning since the lawfulness of some of these critical policies and secondary legislation is highly questionable. Against this background, we survey and analyse the main policies and secondary legislation that constitute India’s citizenship administration. We then argue that despite government’s efforts to argue for immunity from judicial review, and some judicial statements characterizing administrative discretion in this area as “absolute and unfettered”, judicial review of citizenship administration is very much available. Finally, we argue that some of the most important policies and rules relating to citizenship administration in India breach public law norms.

Web Based Ration Provisioning System in Public Distribution Shop

The Government gives different offices to the general population that are underneath the destitution line, yet such offices don't reach to needy individuals because of debasement present in the chain. Among every one of the offices given by Government Of India, The proportion conveyance is most well known in the public arena. For the Ration Material Distribution System (RMDS), the legislature has given diverse sorts of cards to clients as indicated by their destitution lines. In such frameworks clients can purchase proportion materials, for example, Sugar, Rice, Oil, Kerosene, and so on from the apportion shop according to the rate chosen by the administration of India at one time physically. Whenever dispensed apportion isn't bought by the card holders at that point there is a plausibility of abuse of Ration Material by the businessperson. The business person can move the apportion material illicitly in the market with surprising expense and acquire benefit which leads towards defilement.

EUTHANASIA IN THE CURRENT SCENARIO

In ancient times even when medical science was not advanced enough as it is in modern times, ayurvedic physician were expected to diagnose the diseases as sadhya, krucha sadhya, yapya or asadhya and the treatment was given accordingly. Even though the stage of disease was considered asadhya & the general rule was not to treat the asadhya. But even acharyas have taken into consideration the medical duties as a physician and treated the asadhya condition. With the advancement in the medical technology, it has improved the mortality of medically terminal ill patients but somehow has created problems for the patients who are in suffering and doesn't have will to live anymore.Demanding for euthanasia by anyone isn't an easy task, creating a lot of chaos before coming to a decision while considering various factors. Euthanasia literally means mercy killing or putting a person to painless death especially in case of incurable suffering or when life becomes purposeless as a result of mental or physical handicap still remains an ethical issue. In this paper we are going to explore the current law in Indian administration in relation to euthanasia. Also, its legalisation in other countries at the present times.

A critical review of the fair value of land in Kerala, India

PurposeProperty tax continues to be the most viable, steady, progressive and genuine source of income for an independent local government administration in India. Kerala has one of the most complex cadastral and property taxation systems in the country. In 2008, the Kerala government introduced “Fair value of land” for all landed property in Kerala, which is calculated per Are and notified by the Government of Kerala on the website. This paper presents the outcome of the spatial mapping of the fair value of land in Kerala and its comparison with actual land value collected through advertisements and surveys.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology used in this study analyzed the existing fair value system of land valuation in Kerala and identified its drawbacks. Fair value is integrated into cadastral data in geographical information system (GIS) and spatially analyzed to identify the discrepancies in fair value fixation. The actual land value for 837 locations is collected from online advertisements and verified through a field survey. A paired t-test analysis follows this to compare the fair value and actual land value of the study area.FindingsThe disparity between the original land value and the registration value in Kerala has resulted in the undervaluation of land resources by the government. The fair value fixed by the government is significantly lower than the actual land value based on the statistical comparison results. It is observed that the actual land value is multiple times higher than the government fixed land value. Also, the spatial distribution of the village level fair value shows the randomness in fixation and abnormalities existing at numerous locations.Practical implicationsThe results indicate that the traditional comparison method used for fair value calculation by the Kerala government is not suitable in Indian scenarios due to the unreliability of registration values. The study thus points to the importance of developing a scientific method for determining the land value that would consider various spatially influencing parameters.Originality/valueThe current study provided an in-depth analysis of the land valuation system of the Kerala government. The strengths and weaknesses of the existing system are analyzed through statistical methods.

Reordering languages: Persian and the colonial state in India, c.1820–1873

ABSTRACT Thomas Babington Macaulay’s 1835 minute on Indian education is widely held to be representative of the views which underpinned the English East India Company’s replacement of Persian with English as the official language of administration in India in 1837, and the promotion of English and Indian vernacular languages as part of colonial educational policy. Yet, it is often overlooked that Macaulay failed to even mention Persian in his condemnation of “oriental learning”, focusing his attention solely on the shortcomings of Sanskrit and Arabic. Macaulay’s omission of Persian is telling: despite its centrality to Mughal rule and the political transactions of the East India Company alike, Persian did not fit easily into emergent colonial formulations regarding Indian languages and their relationships with particular locales, ethnicities and religions. Through an examination of colonial discussions regarding Indian education, this article argues that the complicated, often contradictory, status of Persian in educational discourse allowed the language to elude definitive categorisation and to survive in government schools and colleges during the nineteenth century. It further suggests that as multilingual cultures were formalised and reconfigured within the domain of colonial education, the continued presence of Persian alongside vernaculars such as Urdu, Hindi, and Bengali at colonial institutions both shaped – and disturbed – their identification as viable modern languages.
