Rajasthan's Panchayati Raj Act was passed on 23-04-1994 pursuant to the 73rd Amendment Act,1992. Panchayati Raj was inaugurated by the then Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on 2 October 1959 at Nagaur in Rajasthan. The first elections under the Rajasthan Panchayat Samitis and Zilla Parishads Act, 1959 were held in September-October 1959, with the already existing Panchayats at the village level un- der the Rajasthan Panchayat Act, 1953, the three-tier scheme of Panchayati Raj began func- tioning on 2 October 1959. Panchayats or village assemblies existed in ancient India as self-governing institutions that had distinct and well-defined functions. British rule introduced a highly decentralized system of administering justice, which changed the situation and the system of village Panchayats suffered a setback. During the time of Viceroy Lord Ripon, there was an attempt to establish local bodies. In Rajasthan, o The princely states of Jodhpur, Bharatpur, Jaipur, Sirohi, Udaipur, and Karauli en- acted legislation on Panchayats. o Bikaner state had its own Gram Panchayat Act much earlier in 1928. o Thus, at the time of independence, Panchayats were functioning in some of the erst- while princely states, while in other states no such institutions existed. o The Act incorporated mandatory provisions of the 73rd Amendment, besides a few others such as the procedure of Gram Sabhas and reservation for OBCs in their mem- bership and chairpersonship. o Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act, 1994 provides functions and powers of PRIs. o The Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Rules, 1996 were framed and made effective from 30 December 1996 for the smooth functioning of PRIs. o For extending these provisions to scheduled areas, the Rajasthan Panchayat (Exten- sion to Scheduled Areas) (PESA) Act, 1999 was enacted.

  • Contextualizing the Role of CSR Initiatives in Preservation and Conservation of Tangible and Intangible Heritage of India: a Case Analysis of Public Sector Companies
    International Journal of Commerce and Management Research International Journal of Commerce and Management Research ISSN: 2455-1627 Impact Factor: RJIF 5.22 www.managejournal.com Volume 3; Issue 12; December 2017; Page No. 27-29 Contextualizing the role of CSR initiatives in preservation and conservation of tangible and intangible heritage of India: A case analysis of public sector companies Dr. Chandni Sengupta Assistant Professor, Amity School of Liberal Arts, Amity University Haryana, Haryana, India Abstract Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is defined as a concept whereby companies integrate environmental, social, and developmental concerns in their business operations. Corporate firms across the globe have clearly defined their CSR strategies. Most of these firms largely focus on areas of environmental sustainability, health and sanitation, women’s empowerment, workplace ethics, educational initiatives, leadership development, among other areas of community-centric work. Companies have taken keen interest in investing their resources for environmental protection as well as for enhancing the quality of health services. In India, multinationals as well as indigenous firms have been taking keen interest in CSR activities. Most of the firms in India have, like their counterparts in other parts of the world, developed a strategy for implementing their CSR plan. A major part of their strategy is focussed on sustainable development and environmental issues, and to some extent health, women’s empowerment, and community work. An area which has largely remained untouched by business houses is conservation of heritage and culture. Although some companies have exhibited a desire to invest in conserving the dying heritage of India, it has not been taken up as a critical area of CSR investment.

  • Tourism Geography & Map Work
    HAND OUT FOR UGC NSQF SPONSORED ONE YEAR DILPOMA IN TRAVEL & TORUISM MANAGEMENT PAPER CODE: DTTM C206 TOURISM GEOGRAPHY & MAP WORK SEMESTER: SECOND PREPARED BY MD ABU BARKAT ALI UNIT-I: 1.IMPORTANCE OF GEOGRAPHY: Geography involves the study of various locations and how they interact based on factors such as position, culture, and environment. This can involve anything from a basic idea of where each state is in the United States, to an in-depth understanding of the population density and economic stability of various countries. A thorough grasp of this subject has immense implications on the travel industry, specifically for those in the hotel management field. As an aspiring hotel manager within the southern California area, an in-depth education of geography would help me to understand cultural differences, travel patterns, evolution of tourism in the area, and new or non traditional destinations. An understanding of these various aspects of geography would assist in the improvement of my guest service practices, marketing strategies, and investment plans, which would in turn increase the popularity and revenue of my particular hotel. Though it is critical to have a general understanding of the cultural differences a location possesses when you plan on traveling abroad, it is equally important when considering inbound tourism within the context of the hotel industry. A hotel manager must have a strong understanding of not only the local culture, but of a variety of popular cultures around the world. For example, if I am managing a hotel near the Los Angeles area and I see that a large tourist group from Japan has booked an extended vacation, it is in my best interest to research the customs and traditions of Japanese culture.
