Full textAbstract:
On 9 January 2003, more than 2,000 people from around the world arrived in New Delhi to participate in an event that was touted as the “largest gathering of the global Indian family.” Banners prominently displaying the Indian tricolor lined the roads leading to the convention site, superimposed with the slogan “Welcome Back, Welcome Home.” Surrounded by intense media attention, India’s prime minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, inaugurated Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, proclaiming that this event commemorated the “Day of Indians Abroad.” Over the next three days, in the midst of the coldest winter Delhi had experienced in years, the Indian government and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) spent twenty-two crore rupees (US$49 million) on lectures, seminars, trade exhibition booths, lavish amounts of food and drink, and spectacular stage shows featuring Bollywood actors. Advertised widely on the Web and in the Indian news media, Pravasi Bharatiya Divas was the first government-sponsored event that brought together Indians in India with representatives of the nearly 20 million Indians who live overseas.

Full textAbstract:
This article analyzes the German dye business in India before 1947 as an example of expanding German-Indian commercial relationships. German dye manufacturers showed great interest in India's economic potential in the absence of discriminatory tariffs, while Indian elites were interested in non-British Western partners, which could support their struggle for industrial self-reliance. This particular alignment of interests facilitated cooperation and shows that the so-called European experience is more diverse than research has shown so far. The analysis highlights global trading networks beyond the political boundaries of formal empire and offers an alternative perspective on Indian business history, which reveals more competition between multinationals of different origins and more strategic choices available to Indians.

Abstract: Owing to Britain’s colonization and American globalization, English has become the most common medium of communication among most Indians. Since India’s independence in 1947, English has been staying as the language of an elite class, a medium of higher education especially legal terms, and technical terminology. English acts as a lingua franca in the Indian multilingual society. Since India’s Independence, British English has had a perennial effect on the Indian education system. Moreover, international pop culture has exerted an American influence on youngsters’ English accents tremendously. By incorporating the information regarding the differences and similarities between British and Indian English; American and Indian English from distinctive research papers, a few books, and a Qualitative method has been used aiming at the thorough investigation of the intricacies of Indian English as well as the in-depth variations of accents and influences. Above all, the paper concentrates on the characteristics of Indian English and its evolution by discussing the influences of British and American accents and a comparative study of various phonemes in three distinct accents (Indian, British, and American phonetics). Subsequently, the main focus is how English has upsurged in India over the years. To recapitulate, the research has resulted in emphasizing that British English is far more pragmatic than American English.

Full textAbstract:
Postcolonial perspectives on India's past have tended to focus on representations, which served the purpose of colonial domination. The view, for instance, that Indian society is fundamentally constituted by caste or religion legitimated the supposedly secular or neutral system of governance introduced by the British. Building upon Edward Said's Orientalism (1978), scholars have suggested that some of our most widely held assumptions about Indian society were more rooted in an imperial worldview than in real social experiences of Indians. The attempt of colonial administrators to understand and govern India through the study of ancient texts formed the basis of an Indian variety of Orientalism. How colonial courts deployed this text-based knowledge in relation to the actual practices of religious “communities” is the central focus of this essay.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Between 1790 and 1840, a constructed belief system arose arguing that the numerous Indian mounds were constructed by a separate, more “civilized” “Mound Builder” race. The multiple Mound Builder myths corresponded with a rising nationalism and romanticism in the United States that posited an ancient connection to the Old World. These myths reflected contemporary racial perceptions of American Indians, thus denying American Indian’s ownership of the land and their rightful place in history. Furthermore, the histories of the mounds serve as a modern-day warning against nationalism and pseudo-history for political purposes.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn the years immediately following independence, India's political leadership, assisted by a network of civic organizations, sought to transform what, how, and how much Indians ate. These campaigns, this article argues, embodied a broader post-colonial project to reimagine the terms of citizenship and development in a new nation facing enduring scarcity. Drawing upon wartime antecedent, global ideologies of population and land management, and an ethos of austerity imbued with the power to actualize economic self-reliance, the new state urged its citizens to give up rice and wheat, whose imports sapped the nation of the foreign currency needed for industrial development. In place of these staples, India's new citizens were asked to adopt ‘substitute’ and ‘subsidiary’ foods—including bananas, groundnuts, tapioca, yams, beets, and carrots—and give up a meal or more each week to conserve India's scant grain reserves. And as Indian planners awaited the possibility of fundamental agricultural advance and agrarian reform, they looked to food technology and the promise of ‘artificial rice’ as a means of making up for India's perennial food deficit. India's women, as anchors of the household—and therefore, the nation—were tasked with facilitating these dietary transformations, and were saddled with the blame when these modernist projects failed. Unable to marshal the resources needed to undertake fundamental agricultural reform, India's planners placed greater faith in their ability to exercise authority over certain aspects of Indian citizenship itself, tying the remaking of practices and sentiments to the reconstruction of a self-reliant national economy.

International Journal of Engineering, Social Justice, and Peace 4 (December 31, 2015): 17–34. http://dx.doi.org/10.24908/ijesjp.v4i1-2.5992.
Full textAbstract:
American Indians are among the most under-represented groups in the engineering profession in the United States. With increasing interest in diversity, educators and engineers seek to understand why. Often overlooked is simply asking enrolled tribal members of prime college age, “Why don’t more American Indians become engineers?” and “What would it take to attract more?” In this study, we asked these questions and invited commentary about what is needed to gain more engineers from the perspectives of enrolled tribal members from South Dakota, with some of the most poverty-stricken reservations in the nation. Overall, results indicated that the effects of poverty and the resulting survival mentality among American Indians divert attention from what are understood to be privileged pursuits such as engineering education. The study’s findings indicated American Indian interviewees perceived the need for consistent attention to the following issues: 1) amelioration of poverty; 2) better understanding of what engineering is and its tribal relevancy; 3) exposure to engineering with an American Indian cultural emphasis in K-12 schools; 4) presence of role-model engineers in their daily lives; 5) encouragement and support from their peers, families, teachers, Elders, and tribal governments to value science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, particularly engineering fields; and (6) the embedded perceptions of math as a barrier to engineering studies.

Full textAbstract:
While there is much research examining gender gaps in political attitudes, there is less examining how gender gaps differ within social groups. This article helps fill that void by examining gender gaps among American Indians. Using two surveys, the initial findings suggest that among American Indians, women have a stronger American Indian identity, are more likely to support women's/compassion issues, and are more likely to be Democrats. It further finds that the gender gap in party is more likely the result of the gender gap in compassion issues than in American Indian identity. Additional analysis finds that among American Indians who prioritize their American Indian identity, the partisan gender gap is reversed, with men being significantly more likely to be Democrats. Although this study finds some similarities between the gaps among American Indians and whites, it also finds some unique gaps among American Indians. This suggests the need to look at the intersectionality of gender and social groups to fully understand the gender gaps.

Hailer, Julie Ann. "American Indian Youth Involvement in Urban Street Gangs: Invisible No More?" Diss., The University of Arizona, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/195960.
Full textAbstract:
Urban street gang characteristics and crimes are present on American Indian reservations. The research on American Indian gangs has focused on the reservations with minimal attention paid to their interaction with American Indian gang members in the urban setting. Examining this interaction is of particular importance since Census 2000 figures indicate that 64 percent of American Indian/Alaskan Natives reside in the urban areas. If we are to continue building the knowledge base about American Indian gangs, then any exploration of Native gangs must include American Indians in the urban setting. This is the first study to focus on urban Indian gangs.The purpose of this study was to explore the extent and nature of American Indian involvement in contemporary street gangs with a secondary goal of assessing the influence of a gang impacted metropolitan area on Native gangs on the reservations. For this study, forty-two metropolitan areas in the U.S. were chosen as well as reservations with a tribal police department and sheriff's departments whose jurisdiction was inclusive of, or adjacent to, the metropolitan and/or tribal areas. A survey instrument methodology was employed.The literature on American Indian gang members alleged that urban Indian gang members only joined other established ethnic gangs. This study found that urban Indian youth have formed their own gangs with criminal participation running the gamut as other gangs. However, the levels of participation and severity are lower than other street gangs. Results also found no correlation between distance or exposure to an urban center and the presence of gangs on the reservations. It appears that it is an adoption of a 'gang mentality' that is occurring as opposed to a physical exposure to other gang members.Fortunately, the levels of American Indian gang involvement are still lower than established street gangs, particularly in the area of gang violence. This fact makes this a timely opportunity for strengthening prevention and intervention efforts towards lessening the lure of the 'gang life' for American Indian youth, both in the urban and reservation settings, before they too become entrenched in the destructive gang lifestyle.

Full textAbstract:
This initial, descriptive study addressed the primary research question "What is a profile of desktop publishing use in Indiana Corporations with 250 or more employees?" The problem that led to the study was the lack of information on the topic, and as an aid to business people in evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of desktop publishing. The information compiled from the random telephone survey was intended to help put into perspective what systems and software were appropriate for certain public relations projects.A random telephone survey of 240 Indiana corporations was conducted in March 1988.The data gathered showed that only 31 of the 240 corporations contacted (13 percent) were using desktop publishing. Several conclusions could be drawn. There was a lack of understanding of the capabilities of desktop publishing among many of those contacted as well as a lack of money to purchase a system and time to train a user. The quality of output capability in desktop publishing at the time of the study was lower than most respondents wanted.A profile of the 31 corporations (13 percent) using desktop publishing would typify them as manufacturing companies who have used desktop publishing one year or less and have an average publications budget of $120,949. They are using desktop publishing to produce newsletters primarily. They did not have a knowledge of desktop publishing before purchasing the system, but would recommend its use to others. They cite increased control and time savings as the biggest benefits of owning and using desktop publishing, with an average time savings of 30%. They typically use the Macintosh computer with Pagemaker and Microsoft Word software. The manager using the system has been in his position five years or less (83.9%) and has an average age of 34. The maximum age among these managers was 47 years old.A profile of the non-users would read as follows: Of the 240 Indiana corporations with 250 or more employees surveyed, 152 (63.3 percent) did not use desktop publishing. The average publications budget at these companies was $103,058. Most of the non-users were manufacturing corporations. Their managers in charge of publications had been in their position five years or less (66.4%). The average age for those managers was 40, with the maximum being 64 years old. While the publication they produced most was the newsletter, they cited the following reasons for not using desktop publishing: saw no cost benefits for their publications and did not think the output quality was high enough.Department of Journalism

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines a comprehensive planning model to determine the level of citizen participation The purpose of this thesis was to document ways in which a local government can be a partner with its community development corporations (CDCs) rather than an obstacle. The paper used Indianapolis' CDCs and their support network as a case study. The research identified four needs of a CDC to build capacity: funding, technical assistance, political networking, and internal management. This document intended to find the sources of support to meet these needs in Indianapolis. In the end, the primary focus was not necessarily what local government gave to the CDCs, but how they delivered the needed resources.Interviews were conducted with several individuals in Indianapolis to explore the support network available to CDCs. Members of the Indianapolis support network included the Department of Metropolitan Development--Division of Community Development and Financial Services, the Indianapolis Neighborhood Housing Partnership (INHP), the Local Initiative Support Corporation (LISC), and the Indianapolis Coalition for Neighborhood Development (ICND). The questions asked of these individuals focused on how they fulfill the needs of the CDCs, and their perspective on the efforts of the local government.There are several characteristics and components to this support network in which another city could learn from or replicate. For instance, the local government should not be a reluctant supporter of it's CDCs. Building trust and long term relationships benefits the partnership between the city and CDCs. It is in the best interest of the CDCs if a local government encouraged a charitable environment. The local government needs to realize that the partnership with a CDC only works if there is a shared vision between the two. Finally, each member of the support network for the CDCs need to define what is really meant by the concept of partnership.Department of Urban Planning

AbstractThis chapter examines, on the basis of under-utilized archival materials, the uses of different religions in Nazi cultural politics aimed at India between 1933 and 1939. The goal of such politics was to generate respect for Nazi Germany and project it as sympathetic to the aspirations of various groups of Indians. Nazi propaganda used different tropes for the diverse politico-religious organizations it addressed. Aryanism was an effective vehicle of propaganda for Hindu nationalists and Hindu revivalists, as well as some Buddhists, whereas purported parallels between Islam and Nazism formed the core of the overtures towards Islamists. The chapter traces the dissemination of such propaganda through a cobweb-like Nazi network that existed in the Indian subcontinent, comprising Germans as well as Indians. The chapter demonstrates how Nazi cultural politics in India, which was inconsistent in the beginning, gradually became more coherent as it began to follow the dictates of Nazi foreign policy. As the war approached, religion-based propaganda gave way to strategic support for the secular anti-colonial movement led by the Indian National Congress.

This chapter addresses the myth of high modernism in India. No object is called upon more often to represent postcolonial India's approach to modernism than the enormous dam. Large dams are not the sole or even the most representative examples of India's modernism, but the chapter begins with these gigantic irrigation and electricity projects precisely because of what they have come to represent in the myth-making about Jawaharlal Nehru's India. The chapter then discusses the international collaboration to build the city of Chandigarh, before exploring the way Indians developed modernism for the masses in the form of affordable housing. The chapter concludes with a discussion of government patronage of Indian modern art in the 1950s and 1960s.

India now has 1.408 billion people, and it will probably surpass China in population size in the near future. 16.3% of Indians, according to the Global Food Security Index 2022, are underweight. In addition, 3.8% of Indian children are obese, 33.9% of them are stunted, and 33.4% of them are underweight. India has a 0.65 human development index. To secure the security of the nation's food supply, agriculture is crucial. Agriculture is the foundation of India's economy because it employs more than 70% of the country's population. Providing food for the world's expanding population is the primary challenge facing agriculture. Indian small-scale farmers fall within this category. Additionally, less than 5 acres make up roughly 80% of India's cultivable land. Upgrading farm mechanization and bolstering farm practices can both contribute to national food security. Therefore, as a contemporary technology, drones have the potential to lessen issues related to farming methods and promote sustainability in the agricultural sector of the future

Abstract During the Quit India movement of 1942, pressure on all Indian communities to abandon British/Western clothing in the spirit of sartorial nationalism reached fever pitch. Anglo-Indians remained attached to markers of their European ancestry, especially the topi. Dress was but one of several perceived threats to Anglo-Indians' hybridized identity. In this climate and with Indian independence imminent, Frank Anthony sought to reorient Anglo-Indians through his communal nationalist formula "Anglo-Indian by community, Indian by nationality". Despite Anthony promising the preservation of Anglo-Indians' English mother tongue and westernized culture, a significant pro-British faction opposed his prescription. After unavailing pleas to the incoming Labour government in London and their Cabinet Mission of 1946 for representation in the Constituent Assembly of India, Anthony met with Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Vallabhbhai Patel, who generously conceded three seats on the constitution-making body, enabling Anthony to achieve almost unique constitutional recognition. In Pakistan, a rival leader, Cecil Edward Gibbon, sought to rebrand Anglo-Indians as Anglo-Muslims (though Anglo-Pakistanis or "Anglos" remained more common). Some sought to register as British as an insurance against deterioration in their position whilst remaining in India and Pakistan. Others proposed colonization schemes or emigrated, principally to Anglosphere countries, resulting in a global diaspora.

Abstract Over the last couple of decades, the Indian economy has experienced substantial growth rates, and India aims to be an economic superpower of the future. However, the translation of this growth into improved employment and incomes for Indians has been highly uneven across various social categories of gender, caste, and religion. While there has been considerable work on inequalities on gender and caste lines, in keeping with broader interest in the economics of religion, the study of differences in outcomes across religious groups seems to be comparatively less developed. Specifically, this chapter aims to redress that gap by understanding how religious identities affect the labour market outcomes of individuals in India today, a topic which garnered attention in the Sachar Committee Report in 2007. The data indicate that overall, India’s Hindus have better employment prospects than India’s Muslims. Although Muslim men are more likely to be employed than Hindu men, the order is the reverse for women. The resulting picture that the chapter paints is of concern to those interested in the economic well-being of Indian communities as well as those who are interested in the economics of social inclusion.

In the summer of 2015, the government of Uttar Pradesh began putting out advertisements looking for “peons”—the local term for low-ranking office helpers. UP, as the state is known, is home to more than 200 million Indians, packed into an area about the size of Texas (which has one-seventh as many inhabitants). Fittingly, UP needed a small army of new peons: in all, 368 jobs were posted. A very strange thing happened next. Applications poured in. After a painstaking survey that took weeks, 2.3 million résumés were counted. There were 6,250 candidates for each available position. Some of the applicants had doctorates. While peon jobs are stable—even respectable—they are by no means glamorous. Peons are usually the first people one sees at Indian government offices, dressed in shabby, faded khaki uniforms; their work involves tracking down dusty files, fetching tea, and ushering in guests. Salaries range from just $150 to $250 a month. The question is why these low-skill, low-paying jobs were in such high demand. There are several possible explanations. First, $250 a month may sound like a pittance, but it is not insignificant: it amounts to nearly double the median national salary. Second, peons are influential gatekeepers in Indian bureaucracy. If you need to see a local officer, a small bribe can go a long way. But workplace corruption is hardly something young, idealistic Indians aspire to (let alone the ones with doctorates). Something deeper was going on. A third possibility is that India simply isn’t creating enough jobs. A 2016 report by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) revealed that India’s working-age population expanded by 300 million between 1991 and 2013. But during those same twenty-two years, the UNDP says, the economy created just 140 million new jobs. Put another way, 160 million working-age Indians were without formal employment. Job creation is the number one headache for India’s policymakers. By some estimates, India needs to create a million new jobs every month simply to keep pace with the gush of new entrants to the workforce. There is little evidence that India has a plan to meet this demand.

Abstract Introducing readers to the mixed-race group officially designated as Anglo-Indians since 1911 (and previously referred to as Eurasians, East Indians, Indo-Britons or, more pejoratively as "half-castes"), the chapter begins with the internationally famous examples of film stars Merle Oberon and Boris Karloff. The prism of their respective film careers highlights how changes of name and passing as white or European was one major strand of the wider experience of this group. The intertwined social, economic, and political position of the mixed in colonial India is then drawn out through a discussion of cinematic, televisual, and literary depictions of the Anglo-Indian dilemma towards the end of empire--caught between imperialism and nationalism--particularly through the film adaptation of John Masters' novel Bhowani Junction. Anglo-India as an imagined space within British India or "the Raj" is explored in relation to the external stereotypes and internal realities of Anglo-Indian monarchism, empire loyalism, identification with Britishness, and loyalty to Britain as an imagined homeland which, through migration, offers one possible route of escape, in the face of decolonisation and the looming threat of aggrieved and vengeful anticolonial Indian nationalism. An overview of existing literature on and by Anglo-Indians is followed by detailed book chapter summaries.

As the East India Company’s trade expanded, so did their control, influence, and interference in Indian politics, society, and local laws. The Meerut Mutiny of 1857 was the turning point for Indians to earnestly begin clamouring for freedom. To achieve that, however, bringing Indians together was a paramount task. So, the social reformers systematically began asking Indians to set aside caste-based discrimination practices and unite together against the Raj. Laxmanshastri espoused a reasoned and rational dialog as the principal way to bring people with opposing views together. He drew on the historiography of the dharma-shastras, pointing to the wide-ranging and rich polemical debates in the literature that allowed diametrically opposite views and interpretation. He believed in the central Upanishadic idea that all humans are Brahman. It was from that principle that he kept the injustices against Untouchables squarely in his vision, never losing sight of the idea of making India more equitable for all her citizens. While his command of the shastras was never questioned, changing deeply held biases proved to be more challenging, but he did succeed in getting the more orthodox upper caste members of Indian society to consider his arguments and pay more attention to the plight of the Untouchables.

India relies on anthropometric data sourced from foreign nations to develop products, resulting in a formidable challenge for Indian consumers in their quest for products tailored to their specific bodily attributes. The garment industry, in particular, grapples with this issue, where Indian consumers must often compromise on the fit of clothing due to the absence of comprehensive databases pertaining to Indian body shapes and sizes. Recent reports underscore the gravity of this situation, revealing that garment returns account for a substantial 20% to 40% of sales, a trend exacerbated by the burgeoning e-commerce sector.In response to this pressing need, a nationwide anthropometric survey was meticulously conducted, leveraging state-of-the-art 3D whole-body scanning technology. This extensive study encompassed a cohort of more than 13,000 female volunteers (total subjects scanned 13045 and valid subjects 12492), aged 15 to 70, meticulously selected to represent all states across India's six distinct geographic regions. Systematically, the data collected was subjected to clustering, resulting in the categorization of body shapes, both at the regional and national levels. This classification process was anchored in robust measurements of height and key girth dimensions, with a specific focus on Bust, waist, hip, and upper hip girths. This indigenous research unveiled the four most prevalent body shapes among Indian females: Hourglass, Rectangle, Trapezoid, and Bottom hourglass. Furthermore, a comprehensive regional analysis of body shapes was conducted, and it was found that while regional variations existed, the fundamental body shape clusters among Indian females remained consistent with the national clusters. The regions displayed the same four primary body shapes for females, with variations in the prevalence of these identified shapes. This groundbreaking study underscores the necessity of considering regional variations in product design and sizing to cater to the diverse Indian population accurately.

Full textAbstract:
This paper will review the Black Masking Indian culture of New Orleans, Louisiana through the lens of Henry Louis Gates Jr’s. Signifyin(g) concept as well as concepts from the Situationist International (SI). Outside of New Orleans they may be more commonly known as Mardi Gras Indians, but Black Masking Indians will be used throughout the paper. Gate’s literary concept allows for a historicization of the Black Masking Indian culture as a series of subversive acts by utilizing the rhetorical black homonym to contextualize the Black Masking Indian processions not merely as just another organization parading during Mardi Gras. With the inclusion of literary concepts, these place-making performative rituals embody AbdouMaliq Simone’s Generic Blackness which “points to the substrates of city-making which prevailing regimes of urban power can never fully apprehend or control”. Literary concepts are crucial to overcoming these issues of apprehension, illuminating the complexity inherit within any marginalized community’s inhabitation of space.Utilization of literary concepts allow for apprehension of the performative processions as radical spatial praxis with recognizable similarities to psychogeographical concepts developed by the French collective. In Black Masking Indian procession’s one will find variations in application of Psychogeography which allow for the study of specific effects of the urban (geographic) environment on the emotions and behaviors of individuals when conducted by racialized groups. The sections proceeding the initial literary review will criti-cally examine the lack of inclusive Psychogeography studies from the SI. As Khatib was the sole none white member of the SI, examination of Abdelhafid Khatib’s failed attempt at a psychogeographic study raises critical questions for the application of SI concepts with marginalized communities.Overall the goal of this paper is to examine the potential inclusion of literary concepts countering the typical reading of the Black Masking Indian processions and New Orleans Mardi Gras as “one in the same.” Presented as such is characteristic of a Eurocentric hegemonic observation, both in its failure to identify the micro-cultural events as radical spatial praxis and its perpetuation of passive racist tropes of marginalized communities as void of agency and incapable of self-actualization. Insights from this comparative review provide a critical lens in which to view the social, geographic, and historic separation between the SI and Black Masking Indians. What can be concluded from this comparative review is how the complexity of subaltern urban spatial inhabitation requires the synthesis of theorists not often associated with spatial studies. This of course highlights the continued predominance of white Eurocentric spatial theories and the need for a pluralistic methodological approach that develops a critical spatial discourse incorporating theories from the Global South as well as literary concepts.

Full textAbstract:
Cultural differences in the perception of products can be studied by using the Repertory Grid Technique (RGT) where the idiosyncratic views of individuals are studied. This study examines the perceptions and prioritization of attributes with regard to six existing vehicle cluster instrument designs with thirteen designers each from India and Germany along with thirteen non-designers each from India and Germany (i.e., comparing German designers with Indian non-designers and Indian designers with German non-designers). The elicited constructs from interviews using RGT were categorized according to Hassenzhal’s (2004) Pragmatic and Hedonic qualities and their subcategories. The categorized data was compared along three metrics of Dominance, Importance and Descriptive Richness. Comparing designers and non-designers across cultures indicated differences in perceptions owing to the cultural background and education in design. For example, German designers emphasized the pragmatic aspects in comparison to Indian non-designers. Alternatively, Indian designers placed more importance to the Identification aspects (ex., exclusive, premium, sporty, etc) when compared to German non-designers. The design implications of these findings provide hints to designers on how to go about designing for Indian and German audiences.

Identification of the best location for wave farm installation, wave resource assessment needs to be carried out. In the present work, wave resource assessment along the Indian EEZ was carried out using the 17-year (2000 to 2016) output simulation of the third generation wave model WAVEWATCH-III (WWIII). Spatial distribution of significant wave height, mean wave energy period and annual mean of wave power is plotted. Further, the monthly and seasonal variation has been carried out to assess the effect on temporal variability at a specific location. The results show the annual mean wave power is in the range of 1–12 kW/m across the Indian EEZ. Further, it was observed that wave power along the western coast of India is more energetic than the eastern coast of India, with annual average wave power of 8–12 kW/m and 2–6 kW/m respectively. However, coastlines of Gujarat and Maharashtra experience the maximum seasonal and monthly variability across Indian EEZ, which is 2 and 3.5 respectively. By using different wave energy converters (WEC), the capacity factor and technical wave energy potential over the study area are estimated. Oceantec WEC shows maximum capacity factor (0.35) among the all selected wave energy converters. The results reveal that the electric wave power generation is 3 times more in the western coastal region as compared to the eastern coast of India.

"The very main objective for any innovative process to begin is the necessity. In doing so, the need of the automobile sector is mainly focused on passenger safety, comfort, reliability and above all the most defining factor would be to reduce fuel consumption (FC). In view of the Paris climate agreement in December 2015 and India’s commitment towards the ratification of the agreement to reduce the emission intensity of the GDP by 33%-35% by 2030 below 2005 levels and to create a cumulative carbon sink of 2.5 to 3.0 billion CO2 equivalent by 2030 about 36% compared to the 1990's levels, it is imperative to lay down strong policies and procedure to curb the fuel consumption and thereby reducing the carbon foot print. The growing imports on crude oil and the increasing CO2 emission per capita activity are major concern for authorities. In India one of the key sector which is responsible for the Greenhouse Gas Emission(GHG) contribution is transportation sector, of which road transportation alone contributes nearly 73% of overall GHG’s emission. Further bifurcation, it was found that the highest contribution of CO2 emission is from commercial vehicles, although the sales figures for this segment just hover around 4% of the overall annual sales volume of all vehicles. In view of the above factors, the regulation to bring a very robust methodology for the CO2 monitoring of commercial vehicle above Gross Vehicle Weight of 3.5-ton and possibility of making it a mandatory procedure is in progress. The fuel consumption measurement approach by simulation methodology shall be a substitute for the present legislation on constant speed fuel consumption (CSFC) where, the FC test would be carried only for defined speeds of 40,50 and 60 km/hr. As most of the countries like US, EU, Japan, China and Canada have moved towards mission profile based simulation for FC certification. India has also initiated the measures for simulation based FC prediction. As a precursor for simulation based FC prediction, in this paper we have followed a methodology which is comparable to the present FC prediction and monitoring procedure available in Europe. This pilot project involves strenuous testing of all the individual components of a vehicle as per defined methodology. With these inputs, we carried out simulation and compared with the real world fuel consumption. The results of the study revealed variations in the simulation compared to on-road test results. These deviations were due to the default table values in the software that are in-built which are more suited for the European conditions than for Indian conditions. To make the simulation tool more compatible with Indian driving and road conditions, it is proposed to have detailed study on vehicle acceleration limit, deceleration limit, gear shift pattern, driver behavior, auxiliary power consumption and above all, to formulate India specific mission profile which would be more relevant for bringing a more holistic fuel consumption prediction approach by simulation methodology."

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph"><b>Background</b>: The Indian automobile industry, including the auto component industry, is a significant part of the country’s economy and has experienced growth over the years. India is now the world’s 3<sup>rd</sup> largest passenger car market and the world’s second-largest two-wheeler market. Along with the boon, the bane of road accident fatalities is also a reality that needs urgent attention, as per a study titled ‘Estimation of Socio-Economic Loss due to Road Traffic Accidents in India’, the socio-economic loss due to road accidents is estimated to be around 0.55% to 1.35% of India’s GDP [<span class="xref">27</span>] Ministry of road transport and highways (MoRTH) accident data shows that the total number of fatalities on the road are the highest (in number terms) in the world. Though passenger car occupant fatalities have decreased over the years, the fatalities of vulnerable road users are showing an increasing trend. India has committed to reduce road fatalities by 50% by 2030. In this context, the automotive industry as well as MoRTH have been taking multiple initiatives including those related to vehicular and road engineering as well as educational measures for raising awareness in the field of road safety.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">With the intent of lowering road traffic accidents, the government and the ministry are constantly upgrading the requirements related to vehicles, infrastructures, and their implementation thereof. In this context, various future regulations are being deliberated. One such regulation in discussion pertains to requirements for the protection of the passenger car occupants in the event of a full-frontal collision with a focus on restraint systems (AIS 201). This will push manufacturers to design more sophisticated restraints that would help to reduce restraint-induced injuries. The draft version of the standard is available for public input/ discussion.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">The key objective of the study documented herein is to consider various aspects of the draft standard (AIS 201) from the Indian perspective.

The product creation process in India relies on imported anthropometric data from other nations, posing a major challenge for Indian consumers who desire tailored things that cater to their distinct physical attributes. Indian shoppers sometimes face difficulties in finding well-fitting garments due to the limited availability of comprehensive information on Indian body types and sizes. This issue is especially prevalent in the textile industry. The gravity of this situation is underscored by recent calculations indicating that apparel returns constitute a substantial 20% to 40% of sales, a trend that is exacerbated by the growing e-commerce sector.In response to the pressing need, a comprehensive statewide anthropometric survey was conducted using state-of-the-art 3D whole-body scanning technology. Conducted on a significant scale, this study encompassed a cohort of more than 13,000 male volunteers (total scanned subjects 13279 and valid subjects 12546), aged 15 to 70. The selection process was meticulous, ensuring representation from all six geographical regions of India. The collected data was methodically grouped into clusters, resulting in the categorization of body shapes on both a regional and national level. This classification technique was established based on accurate measurements of height and significant girth dimensions, specifically focusing on the waist, hip, upper hip, and chest girths.The three most frequent body types among Indian men, according to this indigenous survey, are the rectangle, the inverted trapezoid, and the trapezoid. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis of body shapes at the regional level was conducted and compared to the shape clusters seen at the national level. The fundamental body structure groupings among Indian males were discovered to be in line with the national groupings, notwithstanding regional differences. The three primary male body forms were present in all the regions, however there were disparities in how common these shapes were. This ground-breaking study underscores how crucial it is to take regional variances in product sizing and design into account in order to appropriately serve the diversified Indian population.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Safety and comfort are more critical factors prior to efficient and economical travel for any passenger train. Due to the wheel-rail interaction at high speed, high amplitude vibrations occur that deteriorate the ride comfort of the passengers. In this paper, a multi-body dynamic model is developed by using Adams/VI-Rail software. Actual parameters of track and LHB coach are considered to simulate the rail vehicle model. Sperling’s ride index (Wz) method determines the ride indices values at different speeds with random track irregularity. The proposed multi-body dynamic model is analysed, and the results are compared with oscillation test trials performed and reported by the Research Design and Standards Organisation (RDSO). Obtained results were in good agreement and within permission values. The validated model can be extended to study the improvements in ride quality and ride comfort by introducing a semi-active suspension system based on an MR damper.

Full textAbstract:
In March 2022, while celebrating the 70th anniversary of Indo-Japanese diplomatic relations, Japan’s Prime Minister announced his country’s plan to invest USD 42 billion in India over the next five years. This policy brief, the first in a two-part series dedicated to India–Japan investment relations, examines whether, if realised, this plan would be a true game changer in Indo–Japanese investment relations. It finds that, historically, Japanese investments in India have mostly followed the broader trends in India’s ability to attract FDI, as well as Japan’s global investment position, and while over the last eight years Indo–Japanese diplomatic relations have intensified remarkably, this has only translated to a mild relative (although significant absolute) increase in Japanese investors’ role in the Indian economy. Against this background, the realisation of PM Kishida’s March announcement would only require a moderate uptake in the trends of the past decade. Whether this happens, however, is more a function of India’s ability to implement further meaningful reforms than of the spirit of high-level bilateral relations.

Full textAbstract:
More than a quarter of all overseas Indians resided in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries in 2020. Migration to Gulf countries is dominated by unskilled and semi-skilled workers who work on a contract basis and who must return home once their contract expires. The Indian government has introduced measures to promote safe overseas migration for work, but labor exploitations in the India-GCC migration corridors are widely documented. The Global Fund to End Modern Slavery (GFEMS) in partnership with the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) supported the Association for Stimulating Know-how (ASK) in pilot-testing a project to build a safe labor migration ecosystem in source communities in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, India. The project established Migrant Resource Centres (MRCs), integrated six intervention activities, and worked with Civil Society Organizations to build their internal systems and resilience to establish, sustain, and effectively run MRCs and provide services. The Population Council in partnership with GFEMS and Norad undertook a community-based quantitative study to assess male migrants’ awareness of and engagement with ASK’s project. The success in improving male migrants’ knowledge about safe migration pathways was also examined.

Full textAbstract:
India and Southeast Asia have been seeking more economic engagement in recent years. The ASEAN–India free trade agreement has resulted in a diversification of trade flows by partner country, but both regions have failed to increase their share substantially in each other’s overall trade volume. Service export may offer new opportunities, but India’s limited integration in regional production networks and the difference in the sectoral competitiveness of the two regions will make it difficult to elevate trade relations to a much higher level. India plays a minor FDI relationship with Southeast Asia that is limited to Singapore, and there are substantial barriers to diversification in that regard. India’s role in regional infrastructure development is minor compared to China or Japan. At the same time, the digital economy and the health industry may provide new opportunities for economic engagement between the two regions. Altogether, strategic cooperation is still to be translated into a breakthrough in the economic relations between India and the ASEAN region.

Full textAbstract:
As a public agency, interacting with and understanding the public’s perspective regarding agency activities is an important endeavor for the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). Although INDOT conducts a biennial customer satisfaction survey, it is occasionally necessary to capture public perception regarding more specific aspects of INDOT’s activities. In particular, INDOT needs an effective way to measure and track public opinions and awareness or understanding of a select set of its traffic engineering practices. To evaluate public acceptance of specific INDOT traffic engineering activities, a survey consisting of 1.000 adults residing within the State of Indiana was conducted. The survey population was representative in terms of age and gender of the state as of the 2010 U.S. Census. The survey was administered during the months of July and August 2020. Public awareness regarding emerging treatments not currently implemented in Indiana is low and opposition to the same new technologies is prominent. Older or female drivers are less likely to be aware of emerging treatments, and older drivers are more likely to oppose potential implementation of these treatments. Although roundabouts are commonplace in Indiana, multi-lane roundabouts remain controversial among the public. Regarding maintenance and protection of traffic during work zones and considering full or partial roadway closure, public preference is for partial closure; this preference is stronger in rural areas. The public equally agrees and disagrees that INDOT minimizes construction related traffic delays. Approximately 76% of Indiana drivers believe themselves to above average drivers, while an additional 23% believe themselves to be average. Driver perceptions of average highway speeds speed are not aligned with posted speed limit as the perceived average speed on Indiana’s urban freeways and rural and urban state highways is considerably higher than the actual speed limit.

The long-term objective of the forum is to create an open access repository of knowledge and set up a platform where CD practitioners can collaborate on making capacity development initiatives more effective.

Full textAbstract:
Systemwide interstate performance measures that detail hours and location of congestion on an interstate provide important information for decision makers to plan capital projects and assess operations. This report presents summary of mile-hours of congestion across 8 Indiana interstates and the Indiana toll road. Hours of operation by speed bins (0 to 14 mph, 15 mph to 24 mph, 25 mph to 34 mph, 35 mph to 44 mph, 45 mph to 54 mph, 55 mph to 64 mph, more than 65 mph) for every 0.1 mile of the interstates across a month were tabulated for every hour of every day during the month. The quantities of those six different speed bins are plotted as a stacked bar plot from lower to higher speeds by mile marker for each month. The vertical axis shows the mile marker of the interstate. Horizontally, these stacked bars are cropped at maximum of 250 hours (a little more than 10 days) per month to focus on the lower speeds. To produce these plots, approximately 60 billion records from INRIX across 5 years were analyzed. These speed profiles help identify areas with congestion at system level as well as regions impacted by severe winter storms and construction projects.
