    A Case Study of the Economic Impact of Mining in Goa: Perceptions of the Reserved and General Population of a Mining Dependent Locality
    (2016) Falleiro, Savio P.
    Mining has been an important industry in Goa for years. Operations of the industry were suspended due to orders of the Hon. Supreme Court of India. Much has been documented on the positive and negative effects of mining-the same often done by extreme pro and anti mining activists. The present paper is based on a field-based study involving households of a locality substantially dependent on mining being in close proximity to mining centres. Considering that the locality has a large number of people from ‘reserved’ backgrounds, the paper attempts to find if there was any significant association between the economic issues related to mining and the SC/ST, OBC and General backgrounds of the residents. The study which makes use of chi-square analysis, lists very significant findings, including those concerning the ‘reserved’ sections of population, and involving issues related to net economic effect of mining, health problems, government assistance for SC/ST and OBC sections etc.

    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF 10+2 LEVEL COURSES AND ITS IMPACT ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF THE STUDENTS STUDYING IN THIRD YEAR, BACHELOR IN COMPUTER APPLICATIONS
    (2020) Almeida, Tracy
    The evolving needs of technical education compel students at the 10+ 2 level to adhere to meet the needs of the entry level eligibility criteria. Therefore students who are unable to pursue Higher Education (HE) in engineering and other technical disciplines now stand a chance to enhance their technical knowledge through educational programmes like Bachelors in Computer Science, Bachelors in Computer Applications (BCA) and Bachelors in Information Technology. BCA is one such programme offered at the Goa University in the ten colleges across the state of Goa. College courses are fundamentally different from high school courses and there needs to be a proper choice of subject courses at 10+2 level that will help students to bridge the gap and to meet the standards of HE (Conley et al, 2007). This paper seeks to ascertain the influence of a few educational attributes at the 10+2 level on the performance at TY in the BCAprogramme. It also intends to provide suggestions to students who intend doing HE in the BCAprogramme. Keywords : Bachelor in Computer Applications (BCA), Mathematics (Math), Higher Education (HE), Computer Techniques (CT), 10+2 level, First Year (FY), Third Year(TY)

    A Structured Literature Review of the Tourism Area Life Cycle Concept
    (2022) Gore, Surabhi
    The tourism area life cycle is used to map the changes within the tourism destination on a temporal basis. The paper reviews the literature on the tourism area life cycle from 2003-2020. Articles appearing in journals having a cite score of 1.0 or higher were considered for the review process. The paper uses a structured review methodology and a widely accepted technique of content analysis to review the articles. The tourism area life cycle, as a concept, has traced its lifecycle. However, the use of the tourism area life cycle for tourism planning and strategy analysis is lacking. The authors recommend tourism area life cycle based research on macro-environmental and tourism-specific factors to identify strategies at the destination. Ex-post-facto research seeks to reveal the correlational relationship between the variables responsible for destination development. The paper also suggests tourism area life cycle research on accommodation units, restaurants, transport, infrastructure, market segments, and tourism attractions.

    A study of service quality in Indian public sector banks using modified SERVQUAL model
    (2022-12) Vaz, Sonia
    Assessment of service quality has been widely utilized in the service sector, especially in the banking industry. The present study aims to understand the influence of service quality on customer loyalty in Indian public sector banks. The service quality is quantified with the help of a modified SERVQUAL model using dimensions Reliability, Assurance, Tangibles, Empathy, Responsiveness, Charges, and Convenience. Structural equation modelling (SEM) indicated that among all the dimensions, Assurance, Empathy, Responsiveness, and Tangible were found to have a significant relationship with service quality. The banks must focus on bringing in innovation in these parameters to maintain a high quality of service and achieve higher satisfaction, which subsequently develops customer trust towards the company. By bringing innovative changes to improve the service quality, the banks can also increase their competitive advantage and customer retention as service quality has a significant relationship with customer loyalty.

    (2023) Costa, Juao
    The tourism business has grown dramatically in recent years. The tourism industry contributes significantly to a country’s economic development as it provides various employment generation opportunities. Goa, India’s smallest state, is a popular tourist destination that draws visitors from all over the world. Numerous people in Goa, particularly those living around the coast, earn their livelihood by engaging in tourism related activities. The sun and sand of Goa are well-known. It is surrounded by natural beauty and includes a variety of heritage sites, churches museums and temples. Goa is promoted internationally as a beach tourism resort that has reached its peak. As a result, there is a need to promote additional tourism options. The current research focuses on Goa’s ecotourism. An attempt is made to identify latent motivational factors. Latent motivational factors were identified and categorised. Exploratory Factor Analysis and Chi square test were employed to analyse the data. This study also aimed to investigate how demographic characteristics affect travellers’ intentions to engage in ecotourism and their willingness to spend more on ecotourism. The study revealed that demographic considerations have no bearing on tourists’ desire to participate in ecotourism. Tourists’ willingness to spend more for ecotourism is also unaffected by demographic factors.

    (2023) Gore, Surabhi
    Tourism activities contribute to changes in a region's social and economic fabric. The paper explores the mode of tourism planning by evaluating the socio-economic and tourism development over 70 years at a tourist destination. The article uses a case study methodology to track the socio-economic and tourism developments from 1947 to 2019. In-depth personal interviews with stakeholders were conducted to comprehend the changes at the destination. The analysis involves using the Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) model. The change in social structure, migration, urbanization, occupation and role of women, and economic reforms were noteworthy turning points in the development of the destination. The TALC stages for tourist arrivals and NSDP (net state domestic product) align and show a bidirectional relationship between tourism and socio-economic developments. The research highlights the adaptive planning approach of the government, wherein decisions are taken based on changes in the external environment. An integrative and inclusive planning approach is needed for the sustainable development of the destination

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.
