Rarely does a head of state discuss economic conditions without reference to entrepreneurs and their importance in creating a more prosperous future for its citizens. This study explores how Business School Students perceive entrepreneurship as a career. It is quite possible that some students prefer wage-employment and some may prefer self-employment. Consequently, if a goal within business schools is to design courses and programs for both sets of students as well as courses in which both sets of students co-exist, it is important to understand similarities and differences between entrepreneurially-oriented students and their non-entrepreneurial classmates. This study helps in identifying characteristics of aspiring entrepreneurs and variables that influence entrepreneurial intent into them.

Very broadly, one can think of four subgroups: brahmins; kshatriyas; vaisyas; and sudras. Brahmins, who were traditionally priests and teachers, represent the highest caste; Kshatriyas (traditionally, warriors and rulers) and Vaisyas (traditionally, moneylenders and traders) are "high caste" Hindus; the Sudras (traditionally performing menial jobs) constitute the "other backward classes" (OBC). Then there are those persons (mostly Hindu, but some who have converted to Buddhism or Christianity) whom Hindus belonging to the four caste groups (listed above) regard as being outside the caste system because they are 'untouchable' in the sense that physical contact with them-most usually the acceptance of food or water-is polluting or unclean. In response to the burden of social stigma and economic backwardness borne by persons belonging to India's 'untouchable castes', the Constitution of India allows for special provisions for members of these castes 1. Articles 341 and 342 include a list of castes entitled to such benefits and all those groups included in this list-and subsequent modifications to this list-are referred to as, respectively, 'Scheduled Castes'. For all practical purposes the term "Scheduled Castes" is synonymous with the former "untouchable" castes. Articles 341 and 342 also include a list of tribes entitled to similar benefits and all those groups included in this list-and subsequent modifications to this list-are referred to as, respectively, 'Scheduled Tribes'. Although in most developed countries, studies of wellbeing and poverty are based on income data, which are available in many large national representative surveys, Meyer and Sullivan (2009, 2011) argue that analysis based on consumption, instead of income, provides more insight on wellbeing. The World Bank (Haughton and Khandker, 2009) echoes these feelings. Although income, defined in principle as consumption + change in net worth, is generally used as a measure of welfare in developed countries, it tends to be seriously understated in less developed countries. Consumption in developing countries is measured with greater accuracy and comes closer to measuring 'permanent income'. Following these observations, this paper analyses the per-capita monthly consumption expenditure (MCE) of Indian households. The data for the analysis was obtained from the household file of the Indian Human Development Survey (IHDS) which provided information, pertaining to 2004, on over 41,000 households spread over India. 2 The richness of the information supplied by the IHDS allowed us to explore a number of areas neglected by other researchers. First, most economic studies of caste in India focus on the SC versus non-SC distinction. In other words, these studies lose sight of the considerable heterogeneity 1 Mainly in the form of reserved seats in the national parliament, state legislatures, municipality boards and village councils (panchayats); job reservations in the public sector; and reserved places in public higher educational institutions

In this study, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for flag leaf length and other traits were identified using rice recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from HP2216 x Tetep. A total of 12 QTLs were identified for the four traits located on seven different chromosomes of rice and analysis of interaction among the QTLs revealed additive effect for the leaf length and epistatic main effect for panicle length. More interestingly a QTL qLL12.1 responsible for the flag leaf length was identified on chromosome 12 within the marker interval RM247-RM6296 consistently at three climatic zones in India. Furthermore to saturate the qLL12.1 interval, additional 58 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used for polymorphism survey which showed that qLL12.1 region was more conserved among parental lines. Finally, two polymorphic SSR markers were used for saturation of qLL12.1 region. Consequently, candidate gene approach was used to compliment QTL mapping. Co-localization of linkage map with physical map revealed 75 genes with evidence for expression. Functional annotation of these genes using in silico approaches and detailed literature search revealed nine candidate genes for flag leaf length. The stable QTL qLL12.1 identified in this study will provide starting point for map based cloning of leaf length related genes and tightly linked flanking markers can be used in marker assisted breeding programmes.

These include the Corruption Perceptions Indices (CPI) that are conventionally used and the micro data sets from the International Crime Victim Surveys (ICVS) and the World Bank Enterprise Surveys (WBES) that have been used in recent applications. While a comparison between the evidence from the CPI and WBES constitutes a comparison of perception versus reality, the comparison of evidence from ICVS and WBES can be construed as a ...

It ensures the functioning of other factors around it and verifies their optimum use. With the advent of Globalization, Digitalization, and Modern technology the face of Entrepreneurship has also changed in every aspect. This paper studies history of the Entrepreneurship development and growth with Kautilya's perspective and how the British Government has influenced Entrepreneurship as a discipline. Further, the paper summarises the evolution of modern entrepreneurial techniques and its implication and challenges during pandemic 2019, on trade and business. The paper further studies the influence of Entrepreneurship on the legal and economic policies and prospective opportunities for neo entrepreneurship in India. The paper produces few suggestions for reforms in policies in favour of entrepreneurship development in digital India.
