Impact of National Horticulture Mission on Socio-Economic Status of Beneficiaries in Davanagere District of Karnataka | Book Publisher International

 The research study, titled 'effect of National Horticulture Mission on socio-economic condition of beneficiaries in Davanagere district of Karnataka,' was carried out in all six blocks of Karnataka's Davanagere district, namely Channagiri, Honnali, Harihar, Jagalur, Harapanahalli, and Davanagere. In each taluk, four villages with the highest number of NHM beneficiaries were chosen for the study. Six beneficiaries were chosen at random from each of the 24 villages, based on the criteria that the farmers who were beneficiaries under the NHM programme from 2008-09 to 2013-14 met. As a result, the study's overall sample size was 144 people. The information was gathered from the respondents in the sample using a pre-tested interview schedule. Statistical tests such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and chi-square were used to analyse the data. The study used an ex-post facto research design. According to the findings, NHM beneficiaries' social standing improved by 197.73 percent between before and after participating in the programme. When comparing before and after participation in the NHM programme, value addition in education increased by 178.12 percent, followed by investment in social functions (68.19 percent), annual income (30.53 percent), investment in savings (21.80 percent), employment generation (20.79 percent), and investment in assets (which increased by 6.82 percent). The entire mean value before the NHM programme was found to be 1241.80, compared to 2194.16 following participation in the NHM programme, suggesting a 76.69 percent increase in mean value, demonstrating a favourable impact of the NHM programme. Annual income, social standing, employment generation, value addition in education, and investment in social functions were all determined to be highly significant at the 1% level of significance in the statistical analysis of data. Investment in savings, on the other hand, was shown to be significant at a 5% level, while investment in assets was determined to be non-significant. At 1%, the overall dimensions of standard of life were determined to be significantly significant. The majority of the beneficiaries considered high horticulture crop production costs (95.83 percent, Rank I) to be the most significant constraint, followed by poor personnel follow-up (90.97 percent, Rank II), less subsidy (86.80 percent, Rank III), low horticulture crop productivity (86.11 percent, Rank IV), high post-harvest and handling losses (76.39 percent, Rank V), fewer trainings (47.92 percent, Rank VI), and (4.86 percent , Rank X). Beneficiaries' suggestions for effective implementation of the NHM programme include increasing subsidies (77.78 percent, Rank I), followed by proper follow-up of activities (29.16 percent, Rank II), increasing training programmes (16.67 percent, Rank III), providing more technical information under the NHM programme (08.34 percent, Rank IV), and the need for integrated farming system approaches under the NHM programme (06.25 percent , Rank V).

Economic Studies and Its Activities in Islamic Religion Point of View | Chapter 6 | Modern Perspectives in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 1

 Economic activities, according to Islam, are life's recommendations and demands that include a religious component. There is no difference between the Islamic economic system and other economic systems when only the purpose is considered. This is because all economic systems, including the Islamic economic system, strive to achieve the same goal: to meet varied human needs, both personally and collectively. This monetary gain, according to Islamic economics, is only a conduit for a greater purpose and higher ideal, namely the prosperity of the planet, which prepares it for human life. In general, Islamic economics aspires to benefit the earth and raise human life standards that are decent, just, and balanced between self-interest and others, material and spiritual, and rights and obligations. Apart from the aforementioned goals, Islamic economics attempts to reduce poverty through the use of zakat, infaq, alms, grants, and waqf, as well as productive management.

Public Spending on Education and Economic Growth in Nigeria: The Synergy | Chapter 7 | Current Strategies in Economics and Management Vol. 7

 In order for a state or community to achieve sustainable growth, it is important to improve the quality of its education. Over the years , Nigeria has invested heavily in improving the labour force's educational attainment and rising competitiveness, but still faces declining real production and slow economic development. This research, however, examines the effect of public spending from 1981 to 2019 on education and economic development in Nigeria. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller ( ADF) test and the cointegration test for ARDL bounds were used in the study. Research findings have shown that spending on education has a negative but substantial effect on Nigeria's economic development. Education spending also has a negative, but significant, effect on Nigeria's standard of living. The negative effect of spending on education may not be unconnected with the fluctuating existence of Nigeria 's expenditure trend in the education sector. However, schools at all levels in Nigeria are characterised by humiliating characteristics in which schools lack teachers, basic facilities and suffer from poor management , poor sanitation, overcrowding , poor intra-sectoral allocation, inadequate funding, poor service conditions, among others, leading to the current strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which consequently manifests The study therefore recommended that the government create a conducive learning environment, allocate adequate funds for education growth, prevent gender disparity in education through an educational programme, and Establishing a trustworthy committee to oversee and supervise Nigeria's education system. Training is also important to economic development, and raising the standard of living and investing in human capital is necessary for sustainable growth in any economy. Increasing government allocation to social welfare, such as education and health, however, is not adequate to raise living standards. The effectiveness of allocation and distribution is also needed in order to achieve the desired result.
