    Water Security in India: Exploring the Challenges and Prospects
    (Springer Nature, 2022-04-01T00:00:00) Kaur, Sandeep; Gauttam, Priya
    Water security has become a concern for all countries around the world. All human beings are highly dependent on water to carry out their life sustaining activities that involve drinking water, food production, economic development sanitation, etc. Therefore, water security from the household to the global level, ensures that every citizen has access to enough safe water at reasonable costs to lead a clean, healthy, and productive life while ensuring that the natural environment is preserved and enhanced. Although water is a renewable resource, it has become a scarce resource of the world due to excessive consumption. Water security is more difficult to achieve for countries with large populations. India is one of them and has more than 18% of the world�s population, but it only has 4% of world�s renewable water. Along with India's economic growth, water-dependent industry, agriculture, metropolitan areas, and population are rapidly expanding. Water contamination, shortage, groundwater depletion, unequal distribution, and unavailability are existing issues in India. To address these issues, the Indian government has developed a national water policy. A water policy must recognize and handle present and future water resource concerns. Sustainable water use is essential for India's water supply and economic development. � The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022.

    Globalization of Finance: India’s Experience of Capital Flows.
    (Research Centre For Social Sciences, India, 2011) Nanda, Paramjit; Kaur, Sandeep
    Globalization of finance measured in terms of capital account liberalization has been viewed by many economists as an important component of the overall opening up of global trade and financial markets especially in recent years. It is in this context, paper seeks to analyse issue of CAC in India. Study reveals that capital account surplus is mainly accounted for by non-debt creating foreign investment inflows. Foreign investment and banking balance accounted 80 percent of surplus in capital account. All the components of capital account (except banking capital) witnessed decrease in inflows to outflows ratio during post-CAC period. Banking capital experienced rapid increase in inflows/outflows ratio due to rapid increase in NRIs deposits. Regarding impact of capital account balance on Indian economy, on the positive side, capital account balance significantly reduced inflation and external debt to GDP ratio but on the negative side failed to reduce fiscal deficit and increase in industrial production. RBI should direct more calibrated distribution of bank credit in favour of al productive sectors to increase overall investment in the country. So that capital account surplus can be managed.

    Complementarities in Production and Trade among ASEAN Countries
    (Research Centre For Social Sciences, India, 2010) Kaur, Sandeep
    The share of India’s export to WANA (West Asia and North Africa) is 22.5 percent, followed by EU (European Union) 21.2 percent and North America 15.5 Percent, ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) 10.3 percent, South Asia 4.6 percent and Latin America 3.3 percent (Government of India, Economic survey 2010-11). As compared to other blocs (WANA, North America and EU) the share of India’s exports to ASEAN is low. Thus there is need to examine the reasons for low trade of India with ASEAN nations. In the light of this, the present paper has been undertaken to study competitiveness or complementarities in production and trade among India and ASEAN nations and to study the pattern of intra -regional trade of ASEAN nations. There is substantial range of existing complementarities between ASEAN and India. As most of the ASEAN countries are heavily dependent on imported drugs and health care equipments, therefore India could also cooperate with ASEAN in pharmaceutical and health care service sectors. India Shares Sea boundaries with three ASEAN countries namely Indonesia, Myanmar and Thailand. Thus in terms of transport cost, India has benefit to trade with ASEAN. So, India should look at expanding sea transport linkages to promote trade, tourism and other economic activities.

    Education, Human Development and Economic Growth in Punjab: A Casual Analysis
    (Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, 2010) Kaur, Sandeep; Nanda, Paramjit
    This paper has evaluated the relative performance of 12 major districts of Punjab in terms of Human Development and Economic Growth and examined the two-way link between them during 1981-2001. Expectation of life at birth positively but non-significantly affected inter-district variations in EG. For EG induced HD, per capita NDP negatively and significantly affected interdistrict variations in literacy rate and positively and non-significantly affected inter-district variations of life expectancy. Classification of districts based on their performance on HD and EG reveals that out of 12 districts, only four districts were in the category of lopsided HD and six districts were in the category of virtuous cycle as per the indicators of HD (HDI, literacy rate and expectation of life at birth) in 2001. The results suggest that the policy should be such that HD induced growth process is strengthened for lifting the districts to the virtuous cycle category.
