    The Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP) aims at providing self-employment to the rural poor through acquisition of productive assets or appropriate skills that would generate additional income on a sustained basis to enable them to cross the poverty line.

The pattern of subsidy is 25 per cent for small farmers, 33-1/3 per cent for marginal farmers, agricultural labourers and rural artisans and 50 per cent for Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes families and physically handicapped persons. The ceiling for subsidy is Rs.6000/- for Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes families and the physically handicapped; for others, it is Rs.4000/- in non-DPAP/non-DDP areas and Rs.5000/- in DPAP and DDP areas. Within the target group, there is an assured coverage of 50 per cent for Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes, 40 per cent for women and 3 per cent for the physically handicapped.

    Gender Favourtism in Wages in Rural India

    Payment of Wages in India has been protected by various legislations. However, the gender disparity with regard to wages has not yet been bridged. Gender discrimination with regard to wages is an acknowledged fact in India. The details by NSSO reflect this favourtism clearly where, on an average, a woman’s daily wage is Rs.20 less than that of a man, though both work equal hours. In the case of daily salary, the difference is of Rs.50. Children are even more exploited, especially the girl child. This biasness overlooks the fact of equal number of hours worked, skill and labour invested by the female section also the practice is directly contrary to the concept of “Social Justice” and the policy of “Welfare State” as embedded in our Constitution. The women and children in Rural India are paid as low as Rs.30 and Rs.12 respectively daily irrespective of them being more than 60 per cent of the work force also negating the fact of their hard labour.…

    Current Issue in Business World

    The article is about the horsemeat scandal that had a negative impact on the meat market thereby affecting some businesses, in particular Burger King. It was reported that some of its burgers were contaminated in the horsemeat scandal. There have been several reactions from customer due to this problem. Moreover, Burger King has apologised for the inconvenience caused through advertising posted in different newspaper though the burgers tested at the restaurants were proved to be negative compared to those that were tested at its supplier. This has been a bad publicity for Burger King causing damage to its brand image due to the fact that it was a social problem. This has severely affected the profit margin of the company which has fallen drastically. This has seriously affected the product of Burger King whereby customers will be reluctant in consuming burgers as there will always have a doubt whether the problem has been solved or not. However ,the solution to this problem should be that Burger King must do big promotional campaign stating that its product is not contaminated with horsemeat and also the results of the test should be advertised so that to make consumers aware. The article is about Saudi Arabia whereby governments have imposed regulations to deport foreign workers from Yemen and other countries and this has been a major issue in the country. Local businesses and foreign ambassadors have protest against this policy. This is due to the new employment program adopted by the government of Saudi Arabia. Moreover, this policy would help Saudi Arabia to lower its youth unemployment rate so as to balance the recruitment done by the private sector firms which employ large number of foreign workers. The government has penalized the private firms which employ more foreign than local workers. This policy is creating a lot of problems for businesses as their labour force is decreased. Though the government has given three month time before the policy is…
