Item Sustainable agriculture and economic growth(2019-01) Colaco, VemblyGlobally now, economic growth is directed towards sustainable development goals (SDGs). Agriculture being the primary economic activity can be a natural model in this regard. Agriculture – even in the high tech era – should not be at the cost of the environment. Farm and farmers lives should be nurtured and supported with ecological balance. Taking into consideration the slogan, “think globally and act locally”, we examine the philosophy and practice of sustainable agriculture in India, We also briefly touch upon Goa, a state that is finally taking agriculture seriously. The paper discusses crucial problems and critical policy imperatives for sustainable agriculture such as organic farming and other possible actions. We emphasize on the term “RUrban” to highlight how some places in Goa require a sustainable integration of rural and urban communities too. Presently the state’s agriculture in being increasingly threatened by lopsided development of other activities, chiefly, tourism. It is necessary, therefore to execute policies and programmes that are not only financially viable and technically feasible, but also ecologically sustainable. On the basis of the findings of our study we suggest an integrated farming system (micro, innovative and inclusive) approach for the state’s agricultural sector.Item Herbal skin care and hair care cosmetics purchase frequency in South Goa(2018) D’Souza, CharmaineItem An Analysis of LED Ban in Fishing Industry – Case Study of Cutbona Jetty (Goa)(2019-02) Colaco, VemblyEconomics of marine fishery depends upon the profitability of the trawler fishery, a recent technological up gradation in marine fishery is the introduction of LED lights. There are various studies put forth on the usage of LED –lights, some believe that usage of LED lights can have harmful effect on the marine fish population, while some perceive to be highly good and profitable. There are several technological institutions and researchers all over the world trying to analyze the technical aspect of light fishery. Countries that use led lights have shown a considerable increase in marine fish production, for eg led lights is highly used is Japan and Korea. The following will analyze the usage of LED and the link it has to profitability. As per the results, we found that respondents opposing LED-ban earned a larger profit compared to respondents supporting the Led-Ban. Thus, it can be said that, LED fishing is one factor contributing to increase in revenue. But care should be taken, that with the desire to earn high profits in the short-run, long term consequences should not be neglected. Thus, there is a need for strong policy framework, to have a sustainable fishing in futureItem Awareness and preference for ayurvastra in South Goa(2018) D’Souza, CharmaineItem Attributes in purchase of herbal skin care and hair care cosmetics among Goan customers(2018) D’Souza, CharmaineItem Grocery retailing across Goan customer demographics(2018) D’Souza, CharmaineItem Performance evaluation of equity linked saving schemes(2018) Baptista, Valencia Salvia & Goes, RachealItem Measuring and testing stock volatility of Indian FMCG stocks and its impact on returns – an empirical study(2018) Shaikh, Sameer & Fernandes, MelbaItem A study on investors preferences towards long term investment avenues in salcete taluka(2018) Baptista, Valencia Salvia & Goes, RachealItem The rough road of domestic violence(2018) Marchon, TanyaItem A study on health insurance of hoseholds in Varca(2018) Mendonca, FarahItem A study of consumer behaviour with respect to online shopping(2018) Pires, AverylItem Redefining Entrepreneurship in India–Women as Their Own Bosses(2018) Colaco, VemblyItem WOMEN ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN INDIA – CHANGES AND CHALLENGES(2018) Colaco, VemblyItem Programming self-efficacy predictors in students of computer applications(2018) Lemos, MildredItem Socio-Economic Benefits of Goan Beach Shacks to the tourists – An Empirical Study(2018-07) Barretto, HelicGoa, a tiny State of India in terms of land area and having a population of 14.59 lakhs as per the 2011 census, attracts millions of tourists every year. Tourists are attracted towards the State mainly to visit its beautiful beaches although Goa has a lot more to offer to the tourists. The inflow of tourists provide employment, income, demand for local products and a higher standard of living to the people of Goa. A substantial percentage of Goans totally depend on tourism to earn their livelihood. The development of tourism Industry in the State, over a period of time has led to the emergence of new allied products and one of them is the beach shacks. Beach shacks are temporary restaurants located on the beach serving mostly Goan food and beverages to the increasing number of tourists every year. A few of them also provide accommodation to the tourists, close to the beach.Item THE DISTANCE MAGIC INDEX OF A GRAPH(2018) Godinho, AloysiusLet G be a graph of order n and let S be a set of positive integers with |S| = n. Then G is said to be S-magic if there exists a bijection φ : V (G) → S satisfying P x∈N(u) φ(x) = k (a constant) for every u ∈ V (G). Let α(S) = max{s : s ∈ S}. Let i(G) = min α(S), where the minimum is taken over all sets S for which the graph G admits an S-magic labeling. Then i(G) − n is called the distance magic index of the graph G. In this paper we determine the distance magic index of trees and complete bipartite graphsItem Analysis of StakeHolder Collaboration for a Religious and Tourism Event(2018) Gore, SurabhiThe paper attempts to study stakeholder collaboration for organizing a religious / tourism mega event in Goa. Stakeholders for the event are from multidisciplinary areas and for this reason their collaboration merits an investigation. The study identifies the important stakeholders, their roles and their impact on the event. The study also analyses the types of collaborations they form. The data is obtained by personally interviewing the stakeholders through a structured questionnaire, observation and secondary data search on articles from the local dailies.The results show that there are short term intra sector collaborations between public sector bodies and private sector bodies. But, there are no inter-sector i.e. public and private sector collaborations.
