The main objective of these study to analysing selected cement companies of India: a liquidity scenario perspective. For the period 2012-2013 to 2021-2022. The secondary data is used for the research. It has been collected from selected ten cement companies’ annual reports. The used tools &amp; techniques: liquidity ratios analysis (current ratio, quick ratio and cash ratio), descriptive statistics analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Post-hoc Tukey test. It is concluded that there is a considerable variation in the liquidity ratios of the companies in the cement industry. While some companies have a strong liquidity position (e.g., Ambuja Cements Ltd. Shree Cements Ltd. ACC Ltd.), others have a weaker liquidity position (e.g., The India Cements Ltd., The Ramco Cements Ltd. and Prism Johnson Ltd.). Therefore, it is important to evaluate each company's liquidity position based on its specific circumstances and needs. Overall, the 95% confidence interval for the mean values for all three liquidities ratios. which suggests that the true mean values for all three liquidities ratios for all cement companies in the industry is likely to fall within this range. It is also concluded that all the null hypotheses have not been accepted meaning thereby all alternative hypotheses are accepted. There are significant differences between the current ratio, quick ratio and cash ratio of selected cement companies of India.</p> Bhavesh Prabhakar, Dr. Gurudutta Japee Copyright (c) 2023 VIDYA - A JOURNAL OF GUJARAT UNIVERSITY https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/152 Thu, 23 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000 COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF CUSTOMERS PREFERENCE BETWEEN AMUL BUTTER AND GOWARDHAN BUTTER IN SUBURBAN AREAS OF MUMBAI https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/135 <p>Butter is an item very commonly found in all the kitchen easily.

The need for the highest quality of goods and services is steadily growing. Ethiopia can produce much fresh fruit and export it. However, trade standards are spreading around the world. It is become harder for developing countries to export goods to markets in developed nations. Fresh fruit export is a crucial industry with great potential for economic growth in the country. This study's primary goal is to assess the required fruit standards in the case of Ethiopia by looking at the country's fresh fruit exports. The information was collected from Ethiopian fresh fruit growers using a purposive sampling technique and a standardized questionnaire. Additionally, descriptive analysis and Pearson correlation were used to evaluate the data in SPSS. The study in Ethiopia's findings demonstrated that the quality requirements that producers adhere to and the quality standards that customers seek are not mutually exclusive. Producers believe they are maintaining the quality of fresh fruits by routine monitoring, using appropriate inputs, using best agricultural practices, and planting new fruit trees. The table indicates that fresh fruit growers have attempted to use the necessary inputs.</p> Dawit Negussie Tolossa, Dr Hemal B.

The use of information communication technology has transformed the world and the governance. every nation is extensively relying on the technology to establish a Simple, Moral, Accountable, Responsive and Transparent (SMART) public administration system in the country. The interaction between the government, citizens and business community depends on the use of modern technology for exchange of thoughts and ideas. The journey from web 1.o to 5.o has transformed the society and revamped the public administration system of every country. Use of technology has created opportunity for start-up companies to work in various sectors ranging from agriculture to delivery of public services. e-governance has helped in curbing corruption and time-consuming official rules and procedures. This paper explores the meaning, challenges of e governance. the paper highlights the meaning of citizen centric administration, how can e-governance be used in public delivery of services, focusses on citizen centric approach to policy making and delivery of public services.</p> Dr. Aman Singh Copyright (c) 2023 VIDYA - A JOURNAL OF GUJARAT UNIVERSITY https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/130 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 ।।जे. डबल्यू. क्रेस्वेलप्रतिपादितानाम् अनुसन्धानचरणानां न्यायशास्त्रे सन्निवेशः।। https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/119 <p>शोधपत्रेऽस्मिन् ‘<strong>जे. डबल्यू. क्रेस्वेलप्रतिपादितानाम् अनुसन्धानचरणानां न्यायशास्त्रे सन्निवेशः</strong>’ प्रदर्शनाय प्रयत्न आचरयिष्यते।</p> <ul> <li>आदौ तावदनुसन्धानस्य प्रयोजनं सन्धानस्य व्यख्या च वैशिष्ट्येन निरूपयिष्यामि।</li> <li>अत्र क्रेस्वेलप्रतिपादितानि अनुसन्धानस्य त्रीणि चरणानि सुचारुतया पत्रे निरूपयिष्यते।</li> <li>अनुसन्धानस्य चरणानां निरूपणं न्यायशास्त्रे कुत्र ग्रन्थकर्तारः अकारीत्यपि प्रतिपाद्यते।</li> <li>शिक्षापद्धतौ यथा जे. डबल्यू. क्रेस्वेल महोदयप्रतिपादितानां सिद्धान्तानां पाठनं क्रियते तद्वदेव शोधपत्रे निगदितानां न्यायशास्त्रप्रतिपादितबिन्दूनां अध्यापनं कार्येत चेत् छात्रेभ्यः <strong>सरलतया बोधः कथं जायते</strong> तन्निरूपयिष्यते।</li> <li>शास्त्रेतरेषु संशोधनेषु कथं न्यायशास्त्रस्य लाभः वर्तते, तदपि विषयानुरूपं लिलेखिषामि।</li> <li>क्रेस्वेलप्रतिपादितसिद्धान्तादपि कथं न्यायशास्त्रस्य ज्ञानं अनुसन्धानविषये सारल्यं बोधयति तन्निरूपयिष्यते।</li> <li>त्रयाणां चरणानां न्यायशास्त्रे निदर्शनमपि प्रदर्शयिष्यते।</li> </ul> Jaydev Rajyaguru Copyright (c) 2023 VIDYA - A JOURNAL OF GUJARAT UNIVERSITY https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/119 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 ભૌગોલિક સંકેતો અને તેનું મહત્વ https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/126 <p><strong>બૌદ્ધિક સંપત્તિ અધિકાર માં મુખયત્વે કોપીરાયઇટ</strong><strong>, </strong><strong>પેટન્ટ</strong><strong>, </strong><strong>ઔદ્યોગિક ડિઝાઇન</strong><strong>, </strong><strong>ટ્રેડમાર્ક્સ</strong><strong>, </strong><strong>સર્વિસ માર્ક્સ અને ભૌગોલિક સંકેતો નો સમાવેશ થાય છે</strong><strong>. </strong><strong>ઉપરોક્ત અન્વયે પારંપરિક</strong> <strong>કુશળતા તથા કુદરતી રીતે અલગ તરી આવતી વિભિન્નતાને ભૌગોલિક સંકેત આપવામાં આવે છે</strong><strong>. </strong><strong>ભૌગોલિક સંકેત એ વિશેષ વસ્તુઓ, પ્રાકૃતિક વસ્તુઓ તથા ઉત્પાદનો ને આપવામાં આવતું નામ આથવા ચિન્હ છે. જે તે વસ્તુઓના ચોક્કસ ભૌગોલિક સ્થાન અથવા મૂળનું પ્રમાણ આપે છે, અને વસ્તુની ગુણવત્તા કે મહત્વ સુનિશ્ચિત કરે છે. </strong></p> Janaki Patel, Mr. Primal Patel , Yogeshkumar Lad Copyright (c) 2023 VIDYA - A JOURNAL OF GUJARAT UNIVERSITY https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/126 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 A THEORETICAL UNDERSTANDING OF GOVERNANCE AND GOOD GOVERNANCE https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/125 <p>It is argued by academicians, political leaderships, developmental experts, civil society members, non-governmental organizations that good governance is the good conduct of the government. Governance is a concept that includes the phenomena from varied discipline. This makes the approach and study of good governance interdisciplinary. Good governance analysis needs an integrated view. Good governance being interdisciplinary in nature, includes many elements thus posing challenges for the governance to fulfil the citizens expectations. Good governance approach should set its priorities for the developed countries and underdeveloped and developing countries. Good governance is seen as an approach that relies on various factors which help in achieving social justice. In the good governance, working of the public sector is important. Delivery of services by the public sector helps in restoring the trust in the government. Introduction of Web 2.0 has expedited the good governance process and reformed the administrative working. </p> Dr. Aman Singh Copyright (c) 2023 VIDYA - A JOURNAL OF GUJARAT UNIVERSITY https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/125 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 INDIA’S G20 PRESIDENCY: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/134 <p>In today’s world international relations are increasingly becoming more like domestic politics. Once states become signatories to the international treaties and conventions, they have significant influence on their policy decisions. If&nbsp;you&nbsp;do&nbsp;not&nbsp;have&nbsp;a&nbsp;prominent&nbsp;or&nbsp;influential&nbsp;role&nbsp;in&nbsp;shaping these international laws and agreements, you&nbsp;are&nbsp;liable&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;exploited&nbsp;or&nbsp;cheated by other powerful countries. In the backdrop of the above, India’s G20 Presidency is an important event which is the world’s most influential economic multilateral, agenda-setting forum. G 20 plays an important role in shaping and strengthening the global financial architecture. The G20 Presidency offers India an opportunity to become the voice of the Global South, that is otherwise under-represented in such forums. India can use the G20 process for achieving a stable, inclusive and representative global economic and financial system.</p> Prof. Sachin Warwantkar Copyright (c) 2023 VIDYA - A JOURNAL OF GUJARAT UNIVERSITY https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/134 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 MORPHOLOGICAL DOMINANCE OF ISOLATES AT TWO SITES WITH LESS HUMANOID INTERFERENCE IN MAHARASHTRA, INDIA https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/124 <p>Products of biological origin are highly demanded in the industrial sector and because of the substantial financial gains made in the enzyme industry; more and more of these businesses are springing up. This study presents the results of processing samples collected in areas with less human interference, such as Jhow Island and the Borivali Monari Creeks. The samples were collected under the supervision of a forest officer after receiving permission from the Mangrove Cell in Maharashtra. Isolate morphology was investigated in this study. Forty-two isolates from the Borivali site shared the following characteristics: circular shape, entire margins, convex, small size colonies, smooth textures, cream pigments, opaqueness, gram positivity, and a major organism group belonging to Coccus. Twenty isolates were collected from Jhow Island, and their predominant features were as follows: circular shape, entire margins, flat elevation, punctiform colonies, smooth textures, tan pigments, opaqueness, Gram positivity, and the organism's major group belonging to Coccus. Protease, amylase, and cellulase were screened for first because of their vital role in industry. Protease producers were chosen for further testing, and using the inverted pyramid technique, the highest protease-producing isolate, Bor S17B13, was chosen for enzymatic activity. 16S rRNA sequencing was used to determine the identity of isolate Bor S17B13, and a phylogenetic tree was constructed to show that Bor S17B13 is a member of the <em>Priestia aryabhattai</em> strain. The gene sequence for <em>Priestia megaterium</em> strain B21 can be found in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database under the accession number OM743775. Protease enzymes can be used for anything from bio-industry to environmental cleanup (bio-remediation). New possibilities for scaling up enzyme production will become available as more research is done.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Priyanka Sawant, Sagarkumar Joshi, Jignasha Thumar Copyright (c) 2023 VIDYA - A JOURNAL OF GUJARAT UNIVERSITY https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/124 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 ।। बौद्धिकात्मनिर्भरतायाः पथप्रदर्शकं शास्त्रं श्रीमद्भागवतम् ।। https://vidyajournal.org/index.php/vidya/article/view/120 <p>विषयोऽस्ति <strong>“</strong><strong>बौद्धिकात्मनिर्भरतायाः पथप्रदर्शकं शास्त्रं श्रीमद्भागवतम्</strong><strong> ”</strong>।। यतो हि लोके सर्वत्र दरिदृश्यमानः श्रीमद्भागवतमहापुराणस्य प्रभावः न केवलं वर्तमानस्थितावेवापि तु यदारभ्यास्य प्रथमं सत्रं सञ्जातं तदारभ्य तथावदेव लोके देशे च वर्तते । एवञ्च न केवलोऽयं प्रभावः जनमनोरञ्जनाय, अपि तु जनमनसि ततोऽप्यधिको प्रभावः दृश्यते । अतः चिन्तितोऽयं विषयः ।।</p> <p><strong>“</strong><strong>अभ्यासात् प्राप्यते दृष्टिः कर्म सिद्धिप्रकाशिनी ।</strong><strong>” </strong>इत्येवं प्रेरणावचः मनसि निधाय शोधपत्रलिखिप्सया मौलिकं चिन्तनं विधाय गुणात्मकः शोधप्रविधेः आश्रयणं कृतम् । येनायं शोधप्रविधिः मे मनसि सुदृष्टा सुस्पष्टा च भवेत् । अनेनात्र शोधपत्रे <strong>“</strong><strong>समाजे लोके देशे च दृश्यमानः श्रीमद्भागवतमहापुराणस्य प्रभावः कीदृशः</strong><strong>?”</strong> इति विषयः संगृहितः ।</p> <p><strong>।। शोधपत्रे बिन्दवः ।।</strong></p> <p><strong>बौद्धिकात्मनिर्भरतायाः फलोद्देश्यम् ।।</strong></p> <p>समाजे बौद्धिकात्मनिर्भरतायाः किमुद्देश्यम् ? किञ्च फलम् ? इतीमं विषयं चर्चिष्यते । यथा – “स्वातंत्र्यम्,स्वावलम्बनम् सद्ज्ञानप्राप्तिः” इति उद्देशप्राप्तये <strong>बौद्धिकात्मनिर्भरता</strong> मूले अस्ति । तया सिद्धाः सप्तसिद्धयः ।</p> <p>ताश्च -</p> <ul> <li><strong>ज्ञानात्मको विकासः भवति । </strong></li> <li><strong>समस्यायाः समाधानं लभते । </strong></li> <li><strong>परापेक्षा व्यपगता भवति ।</strong></li> <li><strong>आत्मविश्वासस्य वृद्धिः भवति । </strong></li> <li><strong>अग्रणिर्भवति । </strong></li> <li><strong>दुर्लभं पदं लभते । </strong></li> <li><strong>पदप्राप्तेः संतोषः जायते ।</strong></li> </ul> <p><strong>बौद्धिकात्मनिर्भरता प्राप्तये श्रीमद्भागवतपुराणस्य का भूमिका ?</strong></p> <p><strong>"</strong><strong>नैकेषु शास्त्रेषु बौधिकात्मनिर्भरताप्राप्तये श्रीमद्भागवतमहापुराणस्य का भूमिका</strong><strong>?
