 Abstract

With a population of over 1.2 billion, India is the second most populous democracy in the world. Poverty and the lack of access to education and health care for all are among the many social problems that India is still struggling with. Lack of qualified health care providers and inadequate infrastructure in rural areas are the main reasons for health care inequality. Since the turn of the century, the Government of India has focused on telemedicine as a means of providing health care, especially in rural areas where 68% of the population lives. We have seen telemedicine action across the country and the results have been really positive. E-consulting, health monitoring, health education and other healthcare services are moving towards digitization in the healthcare industry. This is not possible in emerging countries like India due to lack of infrastructure to study patient outcomes. Electronic health records in many industrialized countries make it easier to assess patient outcomes. This study focuses on the potential impact of e-Health on patient outcomes in the Indian healthcare system. Various databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar and the online version of SCC have been used to conduct integrated literature searches using keywords such as "e-Health", "Telemedicine", "e-Health", "Electronic Health Records" and "Patient Outcomes". Among the recognized publications, only a few studies examining the effects of electronic health care on patient outcomes have examined the effects. Health services, as well as telemedicine consultations with professionals and address aids such as automated voice reminders and graphic messages, have been shown to have a positive effect on patient outcomes. There are many grey areas in Indian IT regulations when it comes to security. In the future, besides improving the data richness of the information system, we will have to rethink the justice system to keep the data secure.

Logistics in business focuses on the movement of goods. These specially refer to the forward movement of goods from Manufacturers to the ultimate consumers. An unexplored area in this concept is Reverse Logistics. It refers to the backward movement of products from the customers to the manufacturers or third parties. This concept has gained its importance because it helps in the recycling of products. In this study the researchers have identified 81 plastic recycling units in Kerala registered under Suchitwa Mission through random sampling method. The motives, barriers and the benefits of these units were analysed. It was concluded that the recycling units in the Urban area mainly entered into these practices for economic motive while it was social motive for the units in rural area. Human Resource was a major barrier for units in Uban area in contrast to which technological barrier was persistent in Rural area. The social, economic and environmental benefits for the units were higher than their expectation

 Abstract

A rural consumer had to go to a nearby town or metropolis to purchase a branded product in the past since the branded corporations prioritised urban markets. However, with the increasing clout of rural consumers, large corporations are finally recognising the significance of rural markets. Due to the huge increase in purchasing power, rising brand awareness, effective media communication network, and changing customer demographics in rural areas, India�s rural market is currently seeing tremendous growth. Numerous studies have shown that the rural middle class is not only wealthier but also expanding more quickly than the urban middle class. The infrastructure linking all four major urban areas via hundreds of towns is another factor hastening this occurrence. This aids businesses in distributing their goods to regional markets, achieving the widest possible distribution network, and combating the pervasive attitudes and customs of rural consumers. This essay makes an effort to determine the degree of brand awareness among rural residents in the Nagari Region.

Many IT companies are asking their employees to work from home to remain safe and affected. As corona virus (COVID19) continues to capture headlines in the news and spread rapidly, employees are struggling with finding a sense of calm and stability throughout the ever changing updates and reality. Working from home has many benefits, some being flexibility, increased productivity and more quality time with your loved ones. Work life balance, especially during uncertain times like COVID19, is essential to employees� growth and personal happiness and company retention. When employees are encouraged to find positive work life balance, they tend to be more motivated to produce great work. This also edibility among the employees over performance increases of work. Work from home enables more autonomy in job, which is likely to be associated with more productivity. Decreased control by colleagues or the supervisors is an important drawback of work from home. This is true for both the organization and the employee. The work avoidance is the result when someone’s work is poorly monitored. Work from home will be helpful when there are issues to attend of work should continue.

 Abstract

Every day people, businesses, organizations, communities and the Government use digital technology to make decisions, to make goods and to deliver services more efficiently and more quickly. The digital economy refers to both the digital access of goods and services, and the use of digital technology to help businesses. Digital economy is a term that is often used to cover this activity, but is hard to define. The Indian digital economy is not a conventionally marketed economic activity, and GDP figures do not take account of economic benefits of the digital economy, such as time saved, increased choice, and lower cost of products. Technology is going to revolutionize or is already revolutionizing business, transforming virtually all aspects of the economy and society. The digital economy is the new productivity platform that some experts regard as the third industrial revolution. Digital revolution, also known as The Internet Economy or Internet of Everything is expected to generate new market growth opportunities. Digital economy describes the range of economic and social activities that are enabled by information and communications technologies. It includes activities like banking, buying and selling, and accessing education or entertainment using the internet and connected devices. The digital economy is not separate to the economy. It impacts all industries and business types and influences the way we interact with each other every day. It also recognizes that as sectors become data driven their economic structures change, industry boundaries blur, and the basis of competition changes. The main objectives of this paper are opportunities and challenges of digital economy in India.

The globally accepted indicators of measuring the growth of the life insurance sector are the life insurance penetration and density. Life insurance penetration is the ratio of gross premiums to the GDP. Another common measure of the development of the life insurance sector is the density of life insurance is the ratio of life insurance premium to the total population of the country. Low level of penetration and density of insurance in India clearly imply that a large section of the population is still uninsured.
