Department of Economics 314 SHRI RAM COLLEGE OF COMMERCE Page i PREFACE Shri Ram College of Commerce, for last ninety years, has been a top ranked undergraduate college of commerce and economics developing leaders with a global mindset, business skills, a sense of social responsibility and human touch. The College is the first choice of undergraduate students seeking to gain the skills necessary for success in contemporary global business world. The focus of the Institution is on nurturing students, sharpening their skills, building their foundation of knowledge and facilitating the learning they need to take their career to the highest level and to cultivate the practice of looking beyond oneself for sustainable happiness. The College epitomises the philosophy embedded in the divine words of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. "The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence." -Rabindranath Tagore Students take a leap from information to transformation with the help of a Guru whereas a teacher impacts knowledge and fills his students with more data. At SRCC, the faculty acts as Guru to completely transform the pupils by developing their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual abilities so that they become balanced human beings and look beyond themselves. We believe that the greatest legacy one can pass on to the learners is not only the ability to acquire money or other material things to be accumulated in life but rather a legacy of character and faith. SRCC is a place where skills and passion coincide with the needs of the world. As the price of financial success is mounting day by day, the wholesome development of the students is a necessity to face real life situations. The College imparts values like truthfulness, honesty, compassion and responsibility. 'SRITES' tend to discover new and innovative solutions and are not averse to risk. The College is famous for its quality education and rigor of its academic programmes and a conducive environment for co-curriculars and extra-curriculars that transforms the students and empowers them to release their full potential. It is the conviction of the College that the learning of the students is both within and outside the classroom. Therefore, a rich array of opportunities is provided to students to develop their leadership and organisation skills. A liberal environment under a caring guidance ensures that talents are identified and developed to the core. The College is known for its physical facilities. The campus is beautifully adorned with green lawns, a heritage building, state-of-the-art classrooms, a resourceful library, sports complex, swimming pool, a health care unit and physiotherapy centre. The SRCC fraternity has successfully strived over the years for achieving excellence. The College, in existence, represents the exuberant synergy of its teaching and non-teaching staff who perform their duties with dedication, passion and commitment. In the years ahead, SHRI RAM COLLEGE OF COMMERCE Page ii SRCC will continue to uphold the legacy of its reputation in India and will aim to be one of the best global institution for academics. The Self-Study Report represents the manifestation of the ideals and efforts of the College on its orientation towards quality and service. It has been an inward looking exercise which will yield impetus to the growth and development of the College. Dr. Ashok Sehgal Officiating Principal SRCC SHRI RAM COLLEGE OF COMMERCE Page iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The Self-Study Report is the outcome of generosity, support, guidance and patience of a large number of people. The Steering Committee for the NAAC report for Shri Ram College of Commerce acknowledges the untiring contribution of the innumerable people, whose indefatigable efforts have gone into the preparation of this report. First and foremost, our heartfelt gratitude to the Governing Body and its Chairman, Shri Ajay Shriram, under whose aegis the Steering Committee has compiled this report. We thank Dr. Ashok Sehgal, Officiating Principal, SRCC who has extended wholehearted support to this process through inspirational leadership, steadfast and robust guidance. His faith in our efforts and abilities has been a great source of encouragement. We also take this opportunity to thank Dr. P.C.

The Committee thankfully acknowledges the support from the administrative staff of the College, led by Mr. Jatin Lamba, Ms. Juleta Khan and Mr. S.K. Gupta for their cooperation and assistance needed to compile the report. The accounts department headed by Mr. P.K. Jain and Mr. Sanjay Dobhal has to be thanked for explaining and interpreting complex figures and accounting procedures. The library team led by Mr. Sandeep Nawani needs a special token of gratitude for sharing vital information regarding the library and its activities. Mr. Shiv Nandan, Senior P.A. to the Principal has been generous enough to help with the preparation of this report and has always smilingly provided all the assistance. Our colleagues have been exemplary in their support, patience and critical engagement through the long and tedious process of compiling this report. We thank the Teachers-in- charge of all Departments and the staff advisors of all student societies, without whose support and keen interrogation, this report would not have seen the light of the day. We are also grateful to everyone, both within and beyond, the community of Shri Ram College of Commerce, who have contributed in any possible way towards the welfare of the College and have spared even a moment to help in the preparation of this honest fruit of labour. Lastly, the Committee thanks NAAC for providing the College an opportunity for introspection and to discover the areas of improvement.

  • Hiq V. Linkedin: a Clash Between Privacy and Competition
    THE EVOLUTION OF ANTITRUST IN THE DIGITAL ERA: Essays on Competition Policy Volume One Editors David S. Evans Allan Fels AO Catherine Tucker hiQ v. Linkedin: A Clash Between Privacy and Competition By Maureen K. Ohlhausen & Peter Huston 1 Abstract Advances in data storage, processing power, and system architecture allow today’s computers to solve tasks of extraordinary computational complexity, paving the way for in- novative, reliable, and lucrative predictive analytics. !e implications for both privacy law and antitrust law can be signi"cant. Although competition law and privacy law often coex- ist peacefully, tension between the two realms can arise, as they have in hiQ v. LinkedIn, a case pending in the Northern District of California. HiQ applies its proprietary algorithms to data scraped from LinkedIn’s servers (without LinkedIn’s authorization) to provide “people analytics” to its employer customers. One product warns employers if employees’ LinkedIn ac- tivity suggests they may be considering changing jobs. LinkedIn, invoking the privacy rights of its members, employed technical measures to block hiQ’s automated bots from accessing the data on LinkedIn’s servers. HiQ alleges that LinkedIn’s justi"cation for attempting to block hiQ is pretextual and that it is really seeking to insulate itself from potential competition. !e case demonstrates a legal policy dilemma. Protecting privacy by limiting the spread of data can reduce the bene"ts of competition by denying upstart rivals access to the data they need to compete and entrenching incumbents (who may already be dominant). Conversely, attempting to bolster competition by insuring that competitive rivals have easy access to personal data can diminish privacy by distributing data in ways that consumers may not anticipate or want.

  • Over 500 Academicians, Activists, Artists and Writers Including Eminent Professors Noam Chomsky, Gayatri Spivak, Barbara Hariss
    Over 500 academicians, activists, artists and writers including eminent Professors Noam Chomsky, Gayatri Spivak, Barbara Hariss-White, Michael Davis among others condemn the ongoing state violence and unlawful detention of faculty and student protesters of the University of Hyderabad. We, academicians, activists, artists and writers, condemn the ongoing brutal attacks on and unlawful detention of peacefully protesting faculty and students at the University of Hyderabad by the University administration and the police. We also condemn the restriction of access to basic necessities such as water and food on campus. The students and faculty members of the University of Hyderabad were protesting the reinstatement of Dr. Appa Rao Podile as the Vice-Chancellor despite the ongoing judicial enquiry against him related to the circumstances leading to the death of the dalit student Rohith Vemula ​on January 17​th,​ 2016. Students and faculty members of the university community are concerned that this may provide him the opportunity to tamper with evidence and to influence witnesses. Suicides by dalit students have been recurring in the University of Hyderabad and other campuses across the country. The issue spiraled into a nationwide students’ protest with the death of the dalit scholar Rohith Vemula. The protests have pushed into the foreground public discussion and debate on the persistence of caste-based discrimination in educational institutions, and surveillance and suppression of dissent and intellectual debate in university spaces. Since the morning of March 22 when Dr. Appa Rao returned to campus, the students and staff have been in a siege-like situation. The peacefully protesting staff and students were brutally lathi-charged by the police, and 27 people were taken into custody.
