Innovations in Agriculture for a Self-Reliant India


Book Description

The book brings out an encyclopaedic picture of the potential areas of transformative Indian agriculture through innovations in science, technology, institutional and policy affairs directed in building a self-reliant India (Atmanirbhar Bharat). The book has addressed the challenges to make India free from hunger, poverty and undernutrition, and suggested interventions with focus on all-inclusiveness and sustainability, peace and prosperity, and resilience to climate and other volatilities. Most of these propositions are analogous to the Sustainable Development Goals – Agenda 2030, which India has committed to achieve. The book especially covers critical needs for development on different fragile ecosystems such as coastal, desert, hill, ravine and other marginal ecosystems. The book will act as very useful guidance for the policy makers, and development communities, and a reference document to academicians as well. Note: T&F does not sell or distribute the hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This title is co-published with NIPA.

Microfinance and Its Impact on Entrepreneurial Development, Sustainability, and Inclusive Growth

Microfinance is a broad variety of services, such as microcredit, for entrepreneurs and small businesses lacking access to banking and other financial services. As many smaller businesses and entrepreneurs may not be able to secure credit services, many microfinance promoters believe that it encourages entrepreneurial activities and inclusive growth. Microfinance and Its Impact on Entrepreneurial Development, Sustainability, and Inclusive Growth is an essential resource that empirically explores the role of microfinance in entrepreneurship development and the operational sustainability of microfinance institutions. It also highlights the impact of microfinance on entrepreneurship development in different countries and regions. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as risk management, women entrepreneurship, and strategic management, this book provides essential research for entrepreneurs, business managers, policy makers, researchers in the field of finance, and business professionals seeking relevant research on microfinance systems.

Best Business Practices of Self Help Groups


Book Description

Self-help groups are crucial for employment generation for a large portion of the population. The acceptability of their produce and sustainability is very important for social-economic well-being of the group members. This book (based on my Ph.D. research) focuses on the acceptability of the products of self-help groups by its market and to explore the best business practices adopted by them. When we look at Corporate World, we find the likes of Dhirubhai Ambani, Tata, Birla, Godrej and many others who have made it ‘BIG’ through their indomitable spirit and indefatigable passion to ascend to the pinnacle of greatness. The common aspect of many legendary names in Corporate World is their tireless tirade to achieve their mark despite several handicaps, sometimes in the form of a humble background, financial crisis, social ostracism, tragedies and formal educational acquisitions. These are people who re-write history through the ink of their sweat, tears and blood to provide the world with the deepest thoughts of motivation to overcome the times of crises. All entrepreneurs have the same expectations, same emotions, same problems, same passion to come up in life and progress in their own business. The world deserves to know about these SHGs and their marketing practices to hold on to diversity and humanity together. I humbly present this book to the current and budding Women SHG fraternity to ‘realize’ their contribution towards our country’s economy.
