Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
AbstractAlthough historians have long recognized the important role that Indians played in the English East India Company's operations, the focus has usually been on the mechanics of direct rule in ‘British’ India. Yet, the expertise of Indian cultural intermediaries was arguably even more important, as well as more contested, in the context of the Company's growing political influence over nominally independent Indian kingdoms. This article examines the relationships between the East India Company's political representatives (Residents) and their Indian secretaries (munshis) at Indian royal courts during a period of dramatic imperial expansion, from 1798 to 1818. The article considers how these relationships were conceptualized and debated by British officials, and reflects on the practical consequences of these relationships for the munshis involved. The tensions surrounding the role of the munshi in Residency business exemplify some of the practical dilemmas posed by the developing system of indirect rule in India, where the Resident had to decide how much responsibility to delegate to Indian experts better versed in courtly norms and practices, while at the same time maintaining his own image of authority and control. Although the Resident–munshi relationship was in many respects mutually beneficial, these relationships nevertheless spawned anxieties about transparency and accountability within the Company itself, as well as exciting resentments at court. Both Residents and munshis were required to negotiate between two political and institutional cultures, but it was the munshi who seems to have borne the brunt of the risks associated with this intermediary position.

Abstract:
Resumo Correlacionaremos descolonização africana e literatura indígena brasileira, enfatizando três ideias: o colonialismo é o eixo estruturante da produção do/a negro/a e do/a índio/a enquanto menoridade racialmente justificada, levando à sua invisibilização, ao seu silenciamento e ao seu privatismo, de modo que passam a ser representados/as pelo/a branco/a como seu/sua tutor/a, mestre e senhor/a; a descolonização, que somente pode ser feita pelo grupo-sujeito colonizado, confere todo protagonismo a esse mesmo grupo-sujeito menor que, desde essa condição como chaga e estigma racialmente fundado, publiciza sua voz e dinamiza sua práxis crítico-emancipatória; e a produção estético-literária passa a ser o lugar de autoconstituição normativa e de tematização das condições epistêmico-políticas que produzem-reproduzem as minorias político-culturais, tornando-se instrumento político basilar de enfrentamento do eurocentrismo-colonialismo-racismo. A descolonização, ao enfatizar a voz e o protagonismo do e pelo grupo-sujeito menor, desconstrói a ideia naturalizada de negro/a, índio/a, branco/a etc., mostrando-as como politicidade, relacionalidade, normatividade, historicidade.

Abstract:
We empirically assess the determinants of India’s FDI outflows across a large sample of host countries in the 1996–2009 period. Based on gravity model specifications, we employ Poisson pseudo maximum likelihood (PPML) estimators. Major findings include: India’s outward FDI is hardly affected by motives to access raw materials or superior technologies. Market-related factors appear to have dominated the location choices of Indian direct investors. A larger Indian diaspora in the host countries attracts more FDI. Finally, it seems that Indian direct investors are relatively resilient to weak institutions and economic instability in the host countries. However, we do not find robust evidence that India provides an alternative source of FDI for countries that traditional investors tend to avoid.

Though majority of the participants had knowledge toward organ donation with a positive influence on willingness, the gap between knowledge and willingness was huge, with minimal registration influenced by the complex sociocultural constructs. Various sociocultural constructs such as family, fear and mistrust, religion, and bodily issues play a vital role. Differences were identified in willingness to donate and register between southern and other regions of India. Indian’s organ donation behaviour in other geographical locations differed based on the socioreligious background of the country they lived in such as in Malaysia, Canada and the UK. However, they were collective in decision-making and had complex sociocultural interference irrespective of the country the individual lived which differed only in their next generations.ConclusionThough this study showed the complex relationship, and its influences on organ donation behaviour, lacunae were identified to further understand how such complex interactions determine or inform the behaviour. Also, methodological issues were identified, where this particular population outside India were collectively studied with their neighbouring population which are not homogenous. Studies in India majorly addressed a similar aim using similar methods which produced repetition of studies leading to lack of diversified, wider and in-depth research. Therefore, while this systematic review addressed the barriers toward organ donation among Indians living globally, it also informs various gaps in research and also methodological issues.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42019155274.

Abstract:
Dietary acculturation (adopting the eating patterns/practices of the host environment) of individuals who relocate to another country could be a risk factor for diet-related chronic diseases. A reliable and validated measure for the assessment of dietary acculturation may facilitate understanding of the relationship between dietary acculturation and diet-related chronic diseases in various nonnative populations. We aimed to determine the reliability and validity of a culturally sensitive Asian Indian Dietary Acculturation Measure (AIDAM) for Asian Indians. A cross-sectional survey was administered via Qualtrics Research Suite to 191 Asian Indian adults in the United States. The web survey consisted of AIDAM, a food frequency questionnaire consisting of Asian Indian (AI-FFQ) and non-Indian (NI-FFQ) foods and participant sociodemographic questions. Reliability and validity were examined through a polytomous Rasch model. Except for one item that was excluded due to misfit, 50 items were stable. The root mean square error was .08 for all the items, and the item and person reliabilities were .98 and .88, respectively. AIDAM was positively related to NI-FFQ ( r = .265) and negatively related to AI-FFQ ( r = −.432) based on correlations and linear regressions ( p < .001). Our preliminary analysis showed the AIDAM to have good reliability and validity when tested with a sample of Asian Indians in the United States. Further large studies with Asian Indians using AIDAM are needed to support our findings. This tool can be used by health professionals and researchers to determine the level of dietary acculturation as well as diet quality implications when assessing risk for diet-related diseases.

Abstract:
This doctoral dissertation focuses on Amitav Ghoshs Sea of Poppies (2008) to investigate, from a postcolonial perspective, the way in which the writer deconstructs gender in the nineteenth-century India. In Chapter I, I analyze men and women within the Indian familial space in the nineteenth century, demonstrating how both are subjected to the disempowering effects of traditional rituals (such as sati), structures of Brahminical morality and patriarchal violence. The main character pair Deeti and Kalua is an example of how the persons are sexually assaulted (rape) and then silenced by an oppressive system. Chapter II, I examine men and women within the British colonial space, indicating how they are effected by the opium cultivation in the Indian hinterland. The peripheral characters peasants, eurasian and convicts are highlighted to show how they are uprooted from homeland and forced to be taken across the seas by the colonial administration to work as indentured labour. In Chapter III, I investigate the gender roles ascribed to Indians by the British colonizers. The secondary character pair Nob Kissin and Taramony shows how Ghosh deconstructs gender with the use of Indian mythology and storytelling. In the conclusion, I point out how Indian mythology is retrieved as an instrument of resistance.
Esta tese de doutorado tem como objetivo investigar, sob a luz do questionamento póscolonial, como Amitav Ghosh em Sea of Poppies (2008) desconstrói a narrativa colonial sobre gênero na Índia colonial no século XIX. No Capítulo I, analiso homens e mulheres dentro do espaço familiar indiano, demonstrando como ambos estão sujeitos aos efeitos de desempoderamento dos rituais (como sati), da moralidade bramânica e da violência patriarcal. As personagens Deeti e Kalua exemplificam como os sujeitos, vítimas de violência sexual (estupro), são silenciados pelo sistema opressor. No Capítulo II, examino homens e mulheres dentro do espaço colonial britânico, indicando como os indivíduos são afetados pelo cultivo do ópio na Índia. As personagens periféricas camponeses, anglo-indianos e condenados servem de exemplo para destacar como essas pessoas são arrancadas de seu país e forçadas a migrar para as colônias inglesas. No Capítulo III, investigo como os ingleses inferiorizam os indianos. As personagens secundárias Nob Kissin e Taramony mostram como o conceito de gênero é desconstruído através da mitologia. Concluo argumentando que Amitav Ghosh faz uso da mitologia indiana como um instrumento de resistência.

Abstract:
The Web has become an essential part in the lives of individuals on a global scale. The Web provides information, data, and unprecedented international communicative powers. Because there is so much information available and the information may appear to be fairly anonymous, it is necessary to evaluate what one finds on the Web. How can Web users believe all the information that is available on it? Is the information authoritative, reliable, and trustworthy? And, from the reverse perspective, how can Web developers or providers make Web users confident about the information on the Web?There currently is no research-based Web site evaluation instrument aimed at evaluating school district Web sites. In addition, the problem of this study is to respond to the expressed need of the East Central Indiana School Study Council (ECISSC) school corporations' superintendents for a set of guidelines for developing their Web sites and to develop an evaluation tool for assessing the Web site's effectiveness.The researcher specifically examines the degree of quality of the Web sites using the researcher-developed checklist containing 137 items divided among 10 categories: authority, accuracy, objectivity, currency, coverage and intended audience, interaction and transaction features, navigational aids, non-text features, professional development, and recruitment features. Of the 10 Web evaluation categories, navigational aids (50.42%), accuracy (42.06%), and authority (41.8%) are the highest rated components. ECISSC Web contents receiving the lowest ratings include recruitment and retention features (6.74%), interaction and transaction features (8.70%), currency (8.95%), and professional development (9.33%).The findings of this study provide specific guidance to individual school corporations to retain quality Web site components and to further the development and refinement of specific elements in each of the 10 identified Web assessment categories. Individual school corporations and ECISSC school corporations' profiles are presented to assist school officials in their efforts to improve school Web site designs and contents. The 10 Web evaluation categories and 137-checklist items can be used to assess and improve school Web site and can increase their effectiveness and efficiency to promote enhanced school-community relations and understanding among stakeholders.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 94-104).
Rainfall over Tanzania is highly variable. In recent decades the country has been devastated by floods and droughts. The Tanzanian population relies heavily on seasonal rainfall. Over the northern part of the country, the rainy season occurs in two phases, the short rains (October-December) and the long rains (March - May). Over the southern and the western areas, the rainy season occurs during November - May. This study aims at identifying factors that may playa role in the rainfall variability over the southern region of Tanzania. This study indicates that over the Indian Ocean, the sea surface temperatures (SSTs) over the northeast of Madagascar have a strong relationship with the rainfall in southern Tanzania during the OND rainfall, while the SSTs over the southeast Atlantic have a strong relationship during the JFM rainfall. It has also been revealed that the El Niño/ Southern Oscillation (ENSO) have influence on rainfall variability over the region. The warm/cold ENSO events would impact both a wet or dry year. Such contradiction has imposed a challenge to the forecasters of seasonal rainfall over southern Tanzania.

Full text
Abstract:
The spatial distribution of chipped lithic artifacts excavated at site 35C05, a Chinookan plankhouse of the protohistoric period, was observed to test the hypothesis that a gradient of material culture -- reflecting social status -- should be evident within the plankhouse, ranging from the highest to the lowest social rank. Prior to the spatial analysis, use-wear analysis was used to evaluate the classificatory labels used to describe the assemblage by a previous researcher. The use-wear analysis largely confirmed the functional classification of chipped lithic artifacts used by the previous researcher. The spatial analyses revealed that while most tool types were rather evenly distributed throughout the plankhouse interior (taphonomic factors having been considered), cutting, graving and scraping tools (as well as some characteristics of these tools, such as raw material quality) were significantly unevenly distributed, correlating with the hypothesized gradient of social rank aligned with the long axis of the plankhouse. Further analyses strongly suggested that one or more labor specialists, using high frequencies of graving tools, were inhabitants of the elite portion of the plankhouse. Most domestic activities reflected by the stone tools of this assemblage were engaged in by plankhouse inhabitants of all social ranks. Knowing that this is the case, as well as that in some instances there is compelling evidence for status-determined labor specialization, aids in our understanding of the character of aboriginal social structure on the Pacific Northwest Coast.

Full text
Abstract:
Watershed development programs in India have played a significant role in improving the livelihoods of the rural communities living in rainfed areas. Current assessments are limited in assessing interrelated impacts as the watershed development is influenced by multi domain areas. Few studies have reported on the novel ICT techniques being used for watershed assessment with actual watershed data or examined the spatial or temporal variations in the watershed. The objective of the research was to study current novel geospatial and data mining methods used in hydrological assessments of watershed development and to apply the identified novel methods on a real-time watershed data. The following major research question has been addressed by the research study: “Can novel geospatial and data mining methods be effectively used to assess the hydrological impacts of watershed development? In order to answer this question, the research was carried out in a number of phases to examine existing ICT techniques utilised for impact assessment of the watershed area. The research methodology used in this study was a mixed method approach based on case study, diagnostic research and quantitative approach. Two contiguous watersheds in rainfed region of Andhra Pradesh, India was chosen as study area. Data sets were sourced from a number of Government and NGO agencies and field visits. Data representing sixteen parameters of hydrological, environmental and social factors which were known to influence watersheds were chosen for the study. The data consisted of both spatial and spatio-temporal data. A grid of 2880 cells covering the study area was developed. Data for the period 2006 to 2008 in two seasons (pre-monsoon and post-monsoon) were collected, compiled, classified and assigned to the grid network database. The study area was divided into three zones viz., upstream, midstream and downstream. The data underwent preprocessing in order to make it suitable for further data analysis. This included watershed delineation, creating grid network, handling point data, line data and polygon data, and formatting data into unified format. The data was converted into nominal classes to be utilised for data mining. The watershed data set was analysed using descriptive statistics, geospatial and data mining approach. The first analysis used descriptive statistics based on univariate analysis using pivot tables wizard. This analysis used all sixteen watershed parameters. A series of different scenarios for soils, ground water levels, landuse and checkdams were examined. The second approach was a geospatial analysis which used optimised hot spot analysis. The analysis used NDVI, ground water levels data as the input parameters. The data was examined in relation to landuse and location of checkdams. The third approach employed spatial data mining techniques by using DBSCAN clustering and Apriori rule based association rule mining techniques on watershed data. The analysis used fourteen spatio-temporal parameters. The output from the analysis was visualised using a GIS environment. A comparison of the results from the three approaches showed that all the three approaches provided some insight into the understanding of factors influencing the watershed development. The descriptive statistics provided a simple analysis of trends of the parameters. It was limited in its ability to show the interrelationships between parameters. The geospatial analysis of the watershed area was useful in understanding the spatial and temporal trends across the watershed area. This analysis can only be used for spatial data with numeric values. The data mining analysis of the watershed area was useful in understanding previously hidden relationships between the parameters influencing the watershed area. This analysis could be used for both spatial and spatio-temporal data analysis. The results obtained through each analysis approach require some expertise to interrogate the effects of changes in the watershed area. The relationships are complex and interrelationships are influencing the effects of parameters. Variation was found in the granularity of the outputs of each approach. It is evident that a combination of the approaches provided the capability to investigate these from general data trends to complex data analysis. Validation of the approaches was made with a similar study carried out by ACIAR funded project. Some validation could be made of the findings from this thesis with the ACIAR based studies. The importance of factors such as groundwater level, watershed zone and rainfall was noted in both studies. Although the ACIAR research was conducted in similar study area, it was limited in its analysis of the effects of upstream/downstream interactions and did not study on the integration of multiple parameters in a robust manner. The research was considered novel in the integration of three different approaches for watershed impact assessment utilising hydrological, socio and environmental parameters for a contiguous watershed data with a spatial and temporal analysis. It was also novel in that it proposed hybrid method of utilising Geospatial analysis and data mining methods together and visualising the output of data mining in a GIS environment. This research proposed a novel integrated technology based framework for impact assessment which comprises datasets, processing, analysis and results components. This framework could be used to develop it as a decision support tool to assess the impacts of watershed development to assist researchers and planners to provide unbiased assessment of the impact of the watershed development from a range of perspectives. The framework can be used at different spatial and temporal scales.

Full text
Abstract:
Women's status in Indian agrarian communities has been discussed in terms of cultural and agricultural practices, which affect women adversely in the northwestern wheat region and favourably in the southern rice region. The correlation is tested by the female farm labour participation (FLP) rate and the juvenile sex ratio (JSR).
I examine the correlation between women's contribution to agriculture and their status in wet paddy and dry millet regions in Tamil Nadu. Compared to northwestern India, the JSRs are more balanced and FLPs are high in both regions, yet the implications of high FLPs differ. Thanjavur shows a high female labour participation in peak seasons, but year-round underemployment. In Kongu, the cultivation of garden crops requires both male and female labour throughout the year.
The contrasts originate from varied factors such as ecology and irrigation, cropping system, the distribution of land wealth, and on- and off-farm employment opportunities.

Abstract:
Hakka emigration has created many smaller communities worldwide; where some groups continued their migratory journey. One such example is the Hakkas, who first migrated to Calcutta and then moved on to Vienna and Toronto, clustering in a close-knit social network. In various sessions, Viennese Hakkas of all age groups were interviewed for their lifestories and linguistic practices. (a) The linguistic competence of the migrants includes Hakka, English and Indian (Hindi, Ben¬gali) but often rather little German; Hakka is important at the workplace (Chinese restaurants) and is transmitted in families; Indian helps establish professional relationships with Indian migrants. (b) The social network is rather closed to Hakka friends from Calcutta or from other places. All Hakkas closely cooperate and usually have only few outside contacts. They consider Calcutta as their old homeland to which they return for Chinese New Year. (c) The younger generation consists of weak speakers of Hakka who are fully integrated into Austrian culture, but also maintain contacts to Toronto and love to visit friends and family in India. To conclude, the Indian Hakkas of Vienna are an interesting example of a two-step migration which first converted some Chinese into Indians, and then planted this Indian subgroup into Europe.

Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
The application of ITS is in an infant stage in India. The traffic stream in the western countries are lane based in nature with the major traffic composition including cars and a fewer percentage of trucks, which makes the data collection from the detectors less challenging. However, the Indian traffic being composed of different varieties of vehicles such as two-wheelers, three-wheelers, cars, buses and trucks moving without any lane disciplines makes the data collection a challenging task. Identification of suitable sensors for data collection under Indian traffic conditions by itself is a challenge. Numerous researches are currently being carried out to analyse the effectiveness of sensors for data collection under Indian traffic conditions such as Bluetooth sensors, Wi-Fi sensors, RFID sensors etc.

Abstract:
All over the world India bangs the top most position in crash deaths. Nearly 1.2 lakh people die every year on Indian roads. Crashes involving rolloverand lateral skidding are now responsible for almost 1/3 of all highway vehicle occupant fatalities. So, rollovers and skidding are more serious than other types of crashes. One of the major reasons for such incidents is vehicle instability at curves due to its inconsistent geometric design. This necessitates a review on current design guidelines followed in India. Many researchers have pointed out drawbacks of current design approach and a few have identified various influential factors which are significant in curve design to reduce rollover and lateral skidding. When some researchers conducted field studies to measure vehicle stability at selected curves, some carried out computer simulations. There are efforts to incorporate vehicular characteristics in curve design which is much appreciable. This paper aims to project efforts made by researchers to reduce vehicle instability at horizontal curves. Moreover, gaps in these research works and scope for further research are highlighted.

Abstract:
India having coastline of in excess of 6000 km, has likely the greatest and most luxurious coastline placers. India's beach sand stores and rises contain weighty minerals like ilmenite,zircon, rutile, monazite, and sillimanite, the world necessity of garnet. Kerala has a 570 km long coastline as one of world's most potential fishing ground with exceptional biodiversity and furthermore as the plentiful wellspring of probably the most extraordinary minerals that can be found in the world. The most expected wellspring of these mineral stores is the coastline of the stretch of Kollam and Alappuzha that extends around 150 km. The dark sand mining has influenced the biodiversity of the zone consequently absolutely influencing the lives of the rural communities bringing about an ecological constrained movement and occupation misfortune. This paper critically reviews the negative impacts of the black sand mining on the ecosystem of Kerala.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Matrix acidizing is implemented to increase the productivity of carbonate reservoirs by creating wormholes. An optimal matrix acidizing job creates conductive wormholes that are mechanically stable. However, over-acidizing and non-optimal wormholes (i.e., face dissolution) weaken the rock rendering it more susceptible to collapse under stress. Therefore, mineralogy alteration agents were employed in this research to change the carbonate rock prevalent mineral into a harder one to enhance rock strength and consequently the wormhole stability. Treatments of zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) and diammonium phosphate ((NH4)2HPO4) are applied in 1.5 in × 3 in Austin chalk and Indiana limestone plugs. First, acid was injected using a coreflooding setup to create wormholes fully penetrating the sample. The acidized plugs’ hardness was assessed by two non-destructive techniques (i.e., impulse hammer and acoustic measurements). Then, the plugs were flooded again by 4-5 pore volumes of one of the agents at 80 °C with a pumping rate of 1 cc/min, keeping the confining and back pressure at 1,000 psi and 400 psi, respectively. The samples were kept in the same agent solution for three days at the same temperature. The hardness measurements were repeated for all plugs after the consolidation treatment. A treatment is deemed successful if a noticeable increase in the rock hardness is achieved. On the one hand, zinc sulfate solutions of 0.1M and 0.2M concentrations increased the hardness of Indian limestone by 16% and 10%, respectively, by forming smithsonite on the plug surface. Also, a diammonium phosphate solution of 0.5M induced a 30% improvement in Indiana limestone hardness by developing a hydroxyapatite layer on the surface. On the other hand, the weaker Austin chalk plugs showed better strengthening outcomes. It showed a remarkable 4-fold increase in the hardness when treated with 0.5M diammonium phosphate solution. Improving the rock hardness of acidized carbonate rocks can sustain the long-term wormhole permeability. This is especially important when acid softens the rock or in ductile rocks, prone to wormhole collapse. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to suggest improving the mechanical properties of wormholed weak carbonates through consolidation.

Abstract:
The pandemic has caused the near collapse of the already weak Indian public education system. Prolonged school closures along with caste, gender, and economic marginalisation are forcing children to endure malnutrition, physical and mental health challenges, child labour, and early marriages, in addition to learning deprivation. The system’s response has not reached the grassroots. NGOs across the country provide services at the ground level, but national-level coordination is insufficient. This paper studies the National Coalition on the Education Emergency (NCEE), established by individuals and groups from across India, as a case of building macro-resilience, emphasising principles of equity, universal access, humane education, decentralised decision-making, and public investment. Through a critical examination of the work done by the NCEE on curating curricular resources (OERs), conducting and compiling research studies, developing policy tracking tools, networking with partners and collaborators, creating larger awareness, social mobilisation, advocacy and interacting with governments to inform their programs and policies, the paper will discuss challenges in the Indian education system and the attempts to address them within a federal state structure. It looks at why an integrated nationwide response to the crisis is necessary.

Abstract:
We provide the first reliable measure on the size of India’s creative economy, explore the many challenges faced by the creative industries, and provide recommendations to make India one of the most creative societies in the world. India’s creative economy—measured by the number of people working in various creative occupations—is estimated to contribute nearly 8% of the country’s employment, much higher than the corresponding share in Turkey (1%), Mexico (1.5%), the Republic of Korea (1.9%), and even Australia (2.1%). Creative occupations also pay reasonably well—88% higher than the non-creative ones and contribute about 20% to nation’s overall GVA. Out of the top 10 creative districts in India, 6 are non-metros—Badgam, Panipat (Haryana), Imphal (Manipur), Sant Ravi Das Nagar (Uttar Pradesh), Thane (Maharashtra), and Tirupur (Tamil Nadu)—indicating the diversity and depth of creativity across India. Yet, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, India’s creative exports are only one-tenth of those of the People’s Republic of China. To develop the creative economy to realize its full potential, Indian policy makers would like to (i) increase the recognition of Indian culture globally; (ii) facilitate human capital development among its youth; (iii) address the bottlenecks in the intellectual property framework; (iv) improve access to finance; and (v) streamline the process of policy making by establishing one intermediary organization. India must also leverage its G20 Presidency to put creative economy concretely on the global agenda.

Abstract:
We investigate whether better access to markets through an improved road network plays a role in improving firm profitability in India. We construct a district-level market access index using shapefiles of India's road network, district boundaries, and nightlight raster images and estimate the shortest driving distances for districts using the road network. Using the annual survey of industries data for India during 2001–2015, we show that market access through improved road connectivity resulted in a lower dispersion of ROA between 2001 and 2015 in India.

Abstract:
The key question of this study is to ask: what is the quality of employment of paid domestic work in urban India? We measured quality by looking at income security (wages, bonus, increments); employment and work security (terms of termination, terms of assistance in illness or injury); and social security (terms of paid leave, medical insurance, and maternity entitlements). We additionally assessed channels of recruitment of paid domestic workers. We did so for 3,067 households in two large metropolitan Indian cities– Bengaluru and Chennai – with variations across socio-economic status, caste, religion, neighbourhood type and across households with and without women working for wages.

The key question of this study is to ask: what does it take to reproduce a household in urban India? Using a series of time-use surveys, we measure the time taken for 33 different tasks within activity clusters such as domestic services (cleaning, food preparation, procurement, upkeep) and caregiving services (child care and elderly care). Within this, we assess both unpaid work done by members of the household and paid work done by an externally engaged domestic worker. We do so across 9,636 households in two large metropolitan Indian cities– Bengaluru and Chennai – with variations across socio-economic status, caste, religion, neighbourhood type and across households with and without women working for wages.

Abstract:
In this paper, the possibility of using some econophysical methods for quantitative assessment of complexity measures: entropy (Shannon, Approximate and Permutation entropies), fractal (Multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis – MF-DFA), and quantum (Heisenberg uncertainty principle) is investigated. Comparing the capability of both entropies, it is obtained that both measures are presented to be computationally efficient, robust, and useful. Each of them detects patterns that are general for crisis states. The similar results are for other measures. MF-DFA approach gives evidence that Dow Jones Sustainability Index is multifractal, and the degree of it changes significantly at different periods. Moreover, we demonstrate that the quantum apparatus of econophysics has reliable models for the identification of instability periods. We conclude that these measures make it possible to establish that the socially responsive exhibits characteristic patterns of complexity, and the proposed measures of complexity allow us to build indicators-precursors of critical and crisis phenomena.

Abstract:
Despite growing interest and recognition of urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) as a nature- based solution, there is limited empirical evidence in countries like India on its role in reconfiguring goals on environmental functions (such as biodiversity, waste management, water recycling, micro-climate regulation, etc.) and social wellbeing (such as food and nutrition security, gender relations, work burdens, land tenure and community ties). A need to address this gap led to the ideation of the project ‘Urban and peri-urban agriculture as green infrastructures’ ( UPAGrI ). When UPAGrI started in 2019, the research on UPA in India was thin but growing. However, the practical experience of urban farming across Indian cities is thriving and diverse, built on decades of bottom-up experimentation. Within the landscape of our ever-changing cities, we found vibrant communities-of-practice sharing seeds and knowledge, engaged online influencers discussing composting and water reuse, and stories of farming becoming sites of multi-generational bonding and nutritional security. This compendium is a collection of 29 such innovative UPA practices from across the different cities in the country. These diverse case studies are loosely categorized into four themes: environment and sustainability; food, nutrition and livelihood; gender and subjective well-being; and urban policy and planning. Written mostly by practitioners themselves, the case studies collectively recognise and celebrate UPA innovations and practices, serving as a repository of lessons for peer-to-peer learning, and demonstrating how UPA can be one of the many solutions towards sustainable, liveable Indian cities.
