Freight transport involves the movement of goods from one place to another. This can include a wide range of items such as commercial goods, commodities, and bulk merchandise. Trucks, trains, ships, and planes are all used to transport these goods to various markets, allowing for global commerce to thrive. Without efficient freight transport, supply chains would come to a standstill, affecting both industries and consumers. Businesses must have efficient supply chains to succeed. The development of trade networks creates a need for value-added logistics management and gives rise to various trends in logistics and supply chains. These trends allow for greater expertise and flexibility in logistic operations, covering larger geographical areas while reducing operating costs and improving the quality of service. Freight transport demand is derived from the activities required to move goods from production locations to consumption locations, including employment, logistics, and transportation. By incorporating logistics into freight transport demand models, we can better predict the impact of changes in logistics systems on future transport flows estimations of interaction costs and predictions of changes in spatial patterns of freight transport flows. In recent years, there has been a growing focus on freight modeling and research aimed at incorporating logistics into these models. This study specifically examines the trends and challenges of logistics in freight transport, as well as the prospects of logistics. Key Words: Logistics, Freight, Transport, Modes

It found that rural customers believed that word of mouth, print marketing, and television commercials played a significant role in their decision to purchase FMCGs. However, they are not entirely in agreement that their decision to purchase these FMCGs is influenced by beauty advice. Instead, they consider their own experiences, store displays, and incentive programs. Rural consumers, on the other hand, were of the opinion that social factors were insufficient to influence their decision to purchase these FMCGs. Producers and marketers may be advised to develop ethical advertising strategies because rural people enjoy commercials in print and electronic media.

One of the critical parts of a country's growth is education. The availability of higher learning will aid in the creation of the human capital required to propel the economy forward. India has advanced significantly in the field of education as a result of India and several Indian states' efforts. Every parent wants to give their children the best education possible, and they all agree that a good institute should place a strong emphasis on student discipline. They are very eager to pay for the college and schooling of their kids. All parents concur that children should have a good education and be knowledgeable. Education has a tremendous positive impact on students' and their families' sustainability and quality of life. An essential instrument for developing a better society is education. The repayment of student loans should be considered an investment in the growth and prosperity of the country. Yet with the increased number of people who are defaulting on their student loans, the NPA problem has recently had a significant impact on India's banking sector. When the interest or principle on a loan is past due for more than 90 days, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) deems it to be non-performing (NPA). Nevertheless, this period may change based on the terms and circumstances that the borrower and the bank or financial institution have agreed upon. As a result, the objective of this secondary research is to evaluate the state of education loans, the NPA trend in the education industry, and the factors that contribute to loan default and a greater percentage of non-performing assets for student loans.

Profitability in general means excess of total revenue over total costs. Profitability is a rate expressing profit as a percentage to total assets or sales or any other variable to represent their relationship. In case of banks, the operational efficiency of the bank is determined based on its income generation through deposit mobilization and interest paid to its deposit holders and stockholders. These indicators alarms the banks to plan the dividend decisions wisely based on the volatility rate of profit acceleration. The main source of income is interest earned and discount on bills discounted. Since banks accept various types of deposits from people interest paid to customers is an important expenditure of the banks. The difference between interest earned and interest paid is known as spread and is a good indicator of banks’ efficiency. The rate of profitability and volume of profits are therefore, rightly considered as indicators of efficiency in the deployment of resources of banks’ profit and thereby profitability i.e. the ability to generate profits, can be increased in two ways 1.Increasing the income on the hand 2.Decreasing the expenses on the other hand.

Research studies that go in-depth on organisational behaviours (OB) have viewed OB as a collection of beneficial actions that boost organisational productivity. These activities are those that people take when they are willing to go above and beyond the requirements of their roles to contribute to the achievement of strategic goals. Several studies have connected OB to measures of success for individuals, communities, and businesses. Researchers claim that OB is the least expensive and most economical strategy for fostering competence and achieving organisational success. OB has so far been one of the most effective indicators of corporate success. On the other hand, little research has been done on the causes of OB. In-depth research has been done in the literature on the connection between OB and creative human resource activities. It is not obvious if these behaviours have an impact on individual or organisational OB factors, even though this research have proven that both constructs are intriguing and helpful in the workplace. The purpose of this study is to describe precisely how innovative human resource practises and OB are related. The study examines the five OB dimensions as well as the two structures' various interpretations. 400 teaching faculty members in Bengaluru, India participated in the study, and responses were acquired utilising standardised secondary sources from different colleges. Creative human resource management techniques significantly influence corporate citizenship behaviours, according to multiple regression research. According to a thorough analysis, creative human resource management techniques have a considerable impact on the public ethics, gallantries, and humanity components of organisational behaviours.

The banks need to be analysed, evaluated and measured in terms of various parameters as they do deal with public money and stand as the back bone of the economy. If a bank fails, it results into crores of rupees of loss and also the confidence and trust of the investors/depositors is lost. The main question arises here is how to evaluate these banks. They are not commercial organizations like trading concerns that deal with purchase and sale of goods, incurring direct and indirect expenses, generating some revenue. They are the financial institutions that cater the needs of business and households by supplying the credit from the money received from the various people in the form of deposits. So a better and much adopted evaluating system is required to evaluate the banks.Apart from the regular Accounting ratios which are used for a company to evaluate and compare the performances of the company, banks need to have a separate and more scientific nature of evaluation of their performance based on some selected criteria. CAMEL model is one of the such globally accepted and adopted methodology for analysing the performance of the banks. This paper discusses the evaluation and analysis of banks selected in Public and Private sector by using CAMEL model and there by the interpretations for analysis and comparison are made in the findings section of research. The research paper throws light on the rankings of selected banks based on CAMEL model and the areas where they have to improvise.

Does the 500-CNX index have any relationship to macroeconomic variables? When used in combination with economic indicators, NIFTY has already proven to be a useful, but it is still useful to examine if economic indicators forecast NIFTY index. This paper has tried to examine and identify the macroeconomic factors that contribute to the movement of the Nifty 500 Index for the period starting from 1998 to 2021. The study was tried to analyze the significant relationship between NSE 500 index and macro-economic variables of India, like gross domestic product, manufacturing output, foreign direct investment, export, inflation, agriculture growth, WPI and exchange rate. The analysis has been started by the descriptive analysis of variables. In order to determine if the NSE 500 index follows the macro-economic factors, a unit root test has been carried out. The relationship between the variables was estimated using the ADF, ADF-GLS test, ARDL bound test, and Error correction model. The data are stationary at first difference in ADF and ADF-GLS test except inflation. GDP, manufacturing output, FDI, export, inflation, WPI and exchange rate are the main determinants of NSE 500 index. GDP, Exchange rate, inflation and export have a positive significant long-run relationship with NSE 500 index whereas manufacturing output and WPI have a negative impact. The result of this research would be of importance to investors who invest in the stock market as well as others who do future studies on stock market indices.

Accounting involves the recording of financial transactions of a particular firm, organization or business enterprise. Forensic Accounting, on the other hand, involves financial transactions that are being misinterpreted to hide any kind of fraudulent activity that is done without the awareness of the organization. Frauds have become part and parcel of any business organization because of the advanced hacking technologies and also because of the trust the organization places on an employee who bears the responsibility of handling all finance-related activities. This can probably be avoided by replacing all finance-related activities that are employee based with artificial intelligence and other advanced technological tools to avoid these kinds of frauds and increase data security. The Purpose of the study is to save the big shot and corporate companies from huge financial frauds and scams in general, avoiding millions and billions of money going to lose that is later difficult to retain.

Businesses in India have traditionally been organized around strong promoters. Small shareholders have conceded complete control and ownership to the promoters and just hoped that they would make a return on their investment when the company did well. Not only was there little regulation to give them a say in the matters of their investee company, there was also a sense of general lethargy in taking affirmative action to protect their interests. Promoters too have traditionally run their companies fulfilling the bare minimum requirements of being transparent to their institutional and minority shareholders. These minimum requirements have been defined by whatever was required by regulation at different times. More recently, with the primary source of information evolving from mass media to social media, institutional and minority shareholders are becoming increasingly aware of their companys actions. They now have ready access not only to information, but also to the opinions of experts and a combination of these factors is getting them to gravitate towards a larger role in how their investee companies are run. This paper focuses on how Shareholder Activism, a recent phenomenon, has evolved in India and proposes the actions that corporates and promoter managements can take to avoid being a target of shareholder activism.

Micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) have gained increased attention in India in recent times, considering their strategic importance to the economy and the country. MSMEs play an important role in generating employment—48.8 million MSMEs in the country provide employment to 111.4 million people. MSMEs in the manufacturing sector alone produce more than 6,000 products and contribute 7.7% of the GDP of the country. Similarly, MSMEs in the services sector contribute 27.4% of the country’s GDP. In spite of their contribution, MSMEs in India face several challenges. Finally, studies on MSMEs have identified the importance of the availability of sources of finance and the accessibility to these sources as the most crucial factors to promote growth of MSMEs in developing economies. Without any dispute we may consider that MSME are one of the key drivers behind the high growth rate of Indian economy. As the current global economic development rate is 3.40% to 3.80% whereas the India’s growth rate is considered to be 7.80% (Department of Commerce; Gov of India). Though this sector is flourishing till the date the banks are lending only 16% to the MSME sector in India. It is required to understand much about the existing financial barriers to the MSMEs.

Banks are maintaining a special cell for redressal of consumer grievances by adopting different means. Despites of all these efforts put in by banks (both public and private sector), a large number of customer complaints remain unaddressed. Reserve Bank of India, the apex bank of India came forward with Bank Ombudsman Scheme (BOS) in the year 1995 to address the grievances of bank customers in the country. This scheme was introduced as a provision of Section 35 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 by the central bank of India (RBI). The primary objective of this scheme is to ensure effective grievance redressal of customers of different banks on continuous basis. Office of the Bank Ombudsman was established by RBI to receive grievances from customers and taking all necessary steps possible to redress those at the earliest in a transparent manner. It can be seen as an effective mechanism for customer grievances redressal in the banking sector. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate Bank Ombudsman Scheme as the Customer Grievance Redressal mechanism for the customers of banks operated in India. The study was largely dependent on secondary sources of data collected from several sources i.e. Annual reports of RBI, BOS, different research journals, magazines and internet sources. Data so collected were compiled and presented in tabular form for an effective presentation. Trend and progress of this Scheme indicates significant volume of growth and improvement over the last few years. Still there are some areas which require further attention especially awareness and understanding of general people (Bank Customers) about the BO scheme and its provisions. As the apex bank and controlling authority, RBI has to take some arduous steps towards developing and strengthening the Customer Grievances Redressal Mechanism for bank customers in India.

Providing services during lock down mounted a serious physical and psychological challenge before Bank employees. This study is carried out to explore psychological state of their mind while providing banking services under threat of COVID-19.The result showed that though negative emotions like fear, anxiety, depression etc. has increased, opportunity to help the people has also developed positive emotions which motivated employees to provide customer service at the time of distress.

The present study has been conducted to test the normality assumption for the behaviour of market returns in the BRICS stock markets. The study has been conducted on daily market returns for the period of 1st April 2011 to 31st March 2019. The stock return normality has been examined using skewness, kurtosis, Shapiro-Wilk, Jarque-Bera and Kolmogorov-Smirnow test. The study has also made an important attempt for testing the normality assumption for market returns over the longer periods, considering specifically blocks of 5, 20, 60, and 120 consecutive market days between 2011 and 2019. Based on the analysis, it can be said that for shorter return periods the empirical distribu¬tions of all the countries departed from a normal distribu¬tion and reflected asymmetric behaviour. As far as intermediate return periods are concerned some tests rejected of the normality assumption, and others accepted. But for a lengthier period, none of the tests rejected the assumption of normality for any country. Thus, it has been observed that the behaviour of the returns approaches a normal distribution as the length of time increases. This suggests that investors should not rely on the normality of returns assumption while evaluating risk for daily market returns and shorter return periods. However, assumption normality of returns may be valid for longer return periods. Key words: BRICS, intermediate return, market returns

HR Analytics also called as people analytics/ talent analytics/ workforce analytics has come as a one-stop solution to the aid of the HR personnel, and enables them to gain meaningful insights about workforce effectiveness in nurturing a dynamic work culture. HR has now begun to don a kaleidoscopic role to match the growing trend of job seekers constantly on the lookout for potential opportunities while employed. HR thus not only induces employee engagement and loyalty, but contributing in creating a pulsating work culture. The 9 box grid is a popular talent management tool that attempts to correlate employees’ growth potential and their performance, and plot the same to categorise them on this basis. This is done in three stages and the employee categories have been explained in detail, based on their characteristics. The types of employees range from bad hires that are least desirable if they do not get aligned to the company’s culture and practices; to the star performer who has all the makings of a true leader. If he is mentored effectively, the star employee can soon take over the reins of the organisation in the near future. The employee performance largely depends on the nature of the prevalent culture that is closely monitored using this grid analysis.
