Corporate Governance

If u see the newspapers, this term is being given a great mileage after the SATYAM DUD… I would like my readers to know more abt it..

 

Corporate governance involves a set of relationships amongst the company’s management, its board of directors, its shareholders, its auditors and other stakeholders.

  1. These relationships, which involve various rules and incentives, provide the structure through which the objectives of the company are set, and the means of attaining these objectives as well as monitoring performance are determined.
  2. The key aspects of good corporate governance include transparency of corporate structures and operations; the accountability of managers and the boards to shareholders; and corporate
    responsibility towards stakeholders.
  3. While corporate governance essentially lays down the framework for creating long-term trust between companies and the external providers of capital, it would be wrong to think that   the   importance   of   corporate   governance   lies   solely  in   better   access   of   finance.
  4. Companies   around   the   world   are   realizing   that   better   corporate   governance   adds considerable value to their operational performance:
  5. It improves strategic thinking at the top by inducting independent directors who bring a wealth of experience, and a host of new ideas
  6. It rationalizes the management and monitoring of risk that a firm faces globally
  7. It limits the  liability of  top management  and directors,  by carefully articulating  the decision making process
  8. It assures the integrity of financial reports
  9. It  has   long  term  reputational  effects   among key  stakeholders,  both  internally  and externally 

Good corporate governance- the extent to which companies
are run in an open and honest manner- is important for overall market confidence, the efficiency of capital allocation, the growth and development  of countries’ industrial bases, and ultimately the nations’ overall wealth and welfare.

Holidays have started, No great work to do these days, except getting inclined to TV and gossips, ‘Roz ki faaltu baatein’ would be the core activity in my list regularly till 5 th October.   Will be missing my college buddies, Its always a dependence tht gets created when you meet the same ppl regularly, The best and worst part of “Chhutiyan-Holidays’ is the “ending/missing of monotonous routine” , on one side I m happy tht this break would end up my daily 9 to 6 college routine and on the same time I will be / already started missing my friends and foes J .

Agriculture - Oxygen for manyyyy

Talking on agriculture, About 75% of the Indian population lives in rural areas and about 80% of this population is dependent on agriculture for its livelihood.Agriculture accounts for about 37% of the national income. The development of the rural areas and of agriculture and its allied activities thus becomes vital for the rapid development of the economy as a whole. Agricultural Productivity Even though India occupies the first or second position in the world in several crops in terms of area and production, it's rank in terms of productivity per hectare in the world is 52 for rice, 38 for wheat and much low in several other crops. The productivity of some crops is not only low but also remained stagnant over the years. The yield gap needs to be bridged through an integrated package of technology and agricultural policies to reap the untapped production potential, particularly, in rain-fed and other low productivity areas. What the INDIA INC says abt it? A...
