Solid Waste Management: A Case Study of Arppukara Grama Panchayat Of Kottayam District, Kerala (India)
Arunachalam, P; Ashalakshmi, K S
The rising pressure of Population, together with the constantly changing
technologies, and development perspectives, contribute to the ever increasing
volumes of wastes in different forms. The solid and liquid wastes generated in the
urban areas were considered a burden to the society, and hazardous to the
environment. The fact is that the growth of consumerist culture and aimless
throwing of refuse by the people created the outbreak of environmental pollution.
Unhygienic environment and solid waste accumulation coincided with mosquito
breeding which causes, the spread of most epidemics. The rationale behind most of
the diseases is the unhygienic pattern followed by the people both in rural and urban
areas. As an environmental package, the disposal of solid waste from different
sources, such as house holds markets, commercial areas, slaughter houses, hospitals
and industries, therefore assumed crucial importance. So as a part of the theory and
practice, a study on the area, solid waste management of Arppukara Grama
Panchayat of Kottayam district is taken into consideration. The study conducted here
proposes, to examine the quality and quantity of the solid waste generated in the
panchayat and also it's impact on the existing social, economical, environmental and
ecological systems

Higher Education Sector in India: Issues and Imperatives
Arunachalam, P
The 21st century is marked by a paradigm shift in education that has resulted both
in threats and opportunities. It has brought new challenges and an opportunity for
higher education. Higher education in India is undergoing rapid changes. The
challenges ahead are multifaceted and multidimensional. Though the data show a
massive growth in the number of students' enrollment in colleges/universities, holistic
view reveals that still only a meager of the total population has access to higher
education. Globalization and privatization are imposing new challenges but the
nations are still entangled in solving the basic problems of accessibility to higher
education for all. In the wake of the transition from elitist to mass education,
universities worldwide are under pressure to enhance access and equity, on the one
hand, and to maintain high standards of quality and excellence, on the other. Today
the notion of equity not only implies greater access to higher education, but also
opportunities for progress. In recent debates on higher education, the notions of equity
and access go beyond minority to diversity. Affirmative action, too, has become raceexclusive
and gender-neutral.1

Professor Irma Glicman Adelman, an Irish Economist working in California University at Berkely, in her
research work on ‘Development Over Two Centuries’, which is published in the Journal of Evolutionary
Economics, 1995, has identified that India, along with China, would be one of the largest economies in
this 21st Century. She has stated that the period 1700 - 1820 is the period of Netherlands, the period
1820 - 1890 is the period of England the period 1890 - 2000 is the period of America and this 21st
Century is the century of China and India. World Bank has also identified India as one of the leading
players of this century after China. India will be third largest economy after USA and China. India will
challenge the Global Economic Order in the next 15 years. India will overtake Italian economy in 2015,
England economy in 2020, Japan economy in 2025 and USA economy in 2050 (China will overtake
Japan economy in 2016 and USA economy in 2027). India has the following advantages compared with
other economies. India is 4th largest GDP in the world in terms of Purchasing Power. India is third
fastest growing economy in the world after China and Vietnam. Service sector contributes around 57%
of GDP. The share of agriculture is around 17% and Manufacture is 16% in 2005 - 2006. This is a
character of a developed country. Expected GDP growth rate is 10% shortly (It has come down from
9.2% in 2006 - 2007 to 6.2% during 2008 - 2009 due to recession. It is only a temporary phenomenon).
India has $284 billion as Foreign Exchange Reserve as on today. India had just $1 billion as Foreign
Exchange Reserve when it opened its economy in the year 1991. In this research paper an attempt has
been made to study the two booming economies of the globe with respect to their foreign exchange
reserves. This study mainly based on secondary data published by respective governments and
various studies done on this area

Economic Impact of Identity Theft in India: Lessons from Western Countries
Arunachalam, P
In this computerized, globalised and internet world our computer collects various types of
information’s about every human being and stores them in files secreted deep on its hard drive. Files like
cache, browser history and other temporary Internet files can be used to store sensitive information like
logins and passwords, names addresses, and even credit card numbers. Now, a hacker can get at this
information by wrong means and share with someone else or can install some nasty software on your
computer that will extract your sensitive and secret information. Identity Theft posses a very serious problem
to everyone today. If you have a driver’s license, a bank account, a computer, ration card number, PAN card
number, ATM card or simply a social security number you are more than at risk, you are a target. Whether
you are new to the idea of ID Theft, or you have some unanswered questions, we’ve compiled a quick
refresher list below that should bring you up to speed. Identity theft is a term used to refer to fraud that
involves pretending to be someone else in order to steal money or get other benefits. Identity theft is a serious
crime, which is increasing at tremendous rate all over the world after the Internet evolution. There is
widespread agreement that identity theft causes financial damage to consumers, lending institutions, retail
establishments, and the economy as a whole. Surprisingly, there is little good public information available
about the scope of the crime and the actual damages it inflicts. Accounts of identity theft in recent mass
media and in film or literature have centered on the exploits of 'hackers' - variously lauded or reviled - who are depicted as cleverly subverting corporate firewalls or other data protection defenses to gain unauthorized
access to credit card details, personnel records and other information. Reality is more complicated, with
electronic identity fraud taking a range of forms. The impact of those forms is not necessarily quantifiable as
a financial loss; it can involve intangible damage to reputation, time spent dealing with disinformation and
exclusion from particular services because a stolen name has been used improperly. Overall we can consider
electronic networks as an enabler for identity theft, with the thief for example gaining information online for
action offline and the basis for theft or other injury online. As Fisher pointed out "These new forms of hightech
identity and securities fraud pose serious risks to investors and brokerage firms across the globe,"
I am a victim of identity theft. Being a victim of identity theft I felt the need for creating an awareness
among the computer and internet users particularly youngsters in India. Nearly 70 per cent of Indian‘s
population are living in villages. Government of India already started providing computer and internet
facilities even to the remote villages through various rural development and rural upliftment programmes.
Highly educated people, established companies, world famous financial institutions are becoming victim of
identity theft. The question here is how vulnerable the illiterate and innocent rural people are if they suddenly
exposed to a new device through which some one can extract and exploit their personal data without their
knowledge? In this research work an attempt has been made to bring out the real problems associated with
Identity theft in developed countries from an economist point of view.
