However, very few studies have explored the Research Productivity (RP) of the academics and the various factors influencing them. Even those few studies have largely ignored the influences of indigenous factors and academic dishonesty on the RP of academics. This research explores how different factors influence the academic RP in South Indian engineering institutions founded after 1990. This study uses a mixed method approach. Quantitative data was collected from a sample of 307 engineering academics working in fifty-seven engineering institutions in South India. This was used to measure the current state of RP and the various factors that influence it. Qualitative data was collected using semi-structured interviews to help understand the interconnections between those factors and the changing academic environment. Results were analysed with tests of association, differences, factor analysis, weighted Least Square regression and TOBIT regression. Interview data was analysed based on content analysis. The results show that indigenous factors play a major role in motivating the academics to conduct research whereas corruption / academic dishonesty, thought to be prevalent at all levels in the Higher Educational System tends to reduce their research motivation. The analysis also revealed challenges faced by the academic system and its failure to achieve its research potential. The research found how factors such as Elements of Cultural Identities, Academic Dishonesty and Changing Academic environment are interconnected and how these interconnections influenced academics’ RP. Based on the results the research offers suggestions on increasing the RP of the academics and decreasing the academic dishonesty at various levels thus informing future HE policy making. 6 Contents Abstract: ..................................................................................................................... 6 List of abbreviations: ................................................................................................ 19 Chapter 1: Background of the study: ........................................................................ 20 1.1 Research questions: .................................................................................. 23 1.2 Specific aim of this research: ..................................................................... 23 1.3 Objectives: ...................................................................................................... 23 1.3 Overview of the chapters: .......................................................................... 24 1.4 Context / Background of the research: ............................................................ 29 1.4.1 An overview of the Indian HES: ................................................................ 29 1.4.2 Concerns in Indian HES: ........................................................................ 48 1.4.3.

Feel free to copy, distribute, and transmit, as long as you attribute the work. Prepared by Jaya Bharathi Bathmaraj Kashmira Dubash Christopher Kost Sriram Surianarayanan With generous support from i Preface Coimbatore is a prominent industrial hub and second largest city in the state of Tamil Nadu. The city has been witnessing rapid growth of vehicles especially cars and two wheelers. Due to the high vehicle volumes, there is significant traffic congestion in the inner city. Though walking and cycling account for a quarter of trips in Coimbatore, most streets lack dedicated pedestrian and cycling facilities. Even where footpaths are available, they are either narrow or encroached by utilities and parked vehicles. The existing public transport system served by TNSTC does not have adequate good quality buses and is characterised by poor frequency, longer waiting times, and poor quality bus shelters. Due to lack of high quality public transport and non-motorised facilities, the city is seeing increased dependency for personal transport for even shorter trips. Most existing efforts to reduce traffic congestion have been focused on building grade separators and widening roads—initiatives that are primarily intended to benefit users of personal motor vehicles. To actively promote safe and accessible sustainable transport with focus on reducing vehicular increase and pollution, the Commissionerate of Municipal Administration, Tamil Nadu, in partnership with ITDP has initiated the “Sustainable Cities through Transport” process.

ABSTRACT: Differential development, low income and non availability of employment gave rise in origin of criminals in Coimbatore city. More than 70% of the criminals live in slum areas in central, west and eastern part of the city. Only few originate outside the Coimbatore city. Criminals commit crimes at short distances from the places of their residences. Criminals usually commit crimes at high income residential and commercial areas in core area of the city and isolated residential locations. The commuting places such as bus stands, railway station and market places also provides more opportunity for the commission of crimes in Coimbatore city. The present paper analysis the spatial locations of criminal residences and behavioral aspects in Coimbatore city. KEYWORDS: Spatial – Criminal - Commuting place – Behavioral aspects. I. INTRODUCTION Crime offences in city differ from area to area due to differential development of the city. The heterogeneity in culture, varied social and economic background and unequal distribution of the resources provides more opportunity to commit crime offences in Coimbatore city.
