Authors:-Assistant Professor Dr. Pooja Kumari, Associate Professor Dr. R. Vennila

Abstract- A lot of debate is going on about the importance of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the process of growth has been hot in a number of nations, including India. The foundation and prerequisite for economic development and growth is investment. In addition to a country’s foreign exchange reserves, other factors that are essential to its health include exports, government revenue, financial status, the amount of available domestic savings, and the volume and caliber of foreign investment. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of FDI on Indian Economy. To meet the objective of the study time series data is used 2005 to 2023. Variables used in the study are Foreign Direct Investment as dependent variable and Gross Domestic Capital Formation (GDCF), export, import, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Foreign Exchange Reserve (FER) and Wholesale Price Index (WPI)as independent variables. Techniques used in this study are descriptive test, correlation and regression analysis. FDI exhibits a positive correlation with variables such as GDCF (0.44), Export (0.38), Import (0.42), GDP (0.44), and FER (0.44). This implies that a 1% increase in FDI corresponds to a corresponding degree of change in other variables. The correlation between WPI and FDI is negative, or – 0.22, indicating that the two variables go in different directions. The study concluded that FDI statically significantly impact on Indian economy.

Efficiency of Pareto Optimality for Consumption and Production

Authors:-Pakhshan M R Palani, Ali jalal Hussen

Abstract- Pareto efficiency, or Pareto optimality, is an economic condition where possessions cannot be rearranged to make one specific better off without creating at least one individual worse off. In this paper, the main objective is to focus on the empirical implications of Pareto optimal provision of public goods and of competitive equilibrium with public goods. The data set to test the empirical implications does not require full information on individual private goods consumption, and only involves market prices, aggregate endowments and production, government tax revenue and individual incomes. The research is based on reviewing and analyzing 15 different articles in a variety of international peer reviewed journal. The overall results show that the Pareto principle in mathematical economy can be used to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for observable data to be consistent with Pareto optimal provision of public goods and competitive equilibrium with public goods, respectively. Furthermore, the research has confirmed that Pareto efficiency is occurring when an organisation or entrepreneurs has its resources and goods apportioned to the supreme level of efficiency, and no alteration can be made without creating someone worsened. The study recommends the business world, factory managers to adopt Pareto development trials, in which they relocate labor capitals to attempt to increase the output of gathering workers without say, declining the productivity of the stuffing and delivery workers.

Authors:-Pallavi Rai Chandra Shekhar

Abstract- This study explores the economic impact of Self-Help Group (SHG) membership on individuals in two districts of Uttar Pradesh, India—Lucknow (urban) and Basti (rural). The study evaluates the impact of SHGs on income, savings, access to credit, and livelihood diversification among 300 participants—200 SHG members (100 from each district) and 100 non-members. Both quantitative data (survey) and qualitative data (interviews and focus group discussions) were collected. The results show a notable improvement in economic outcomes for SHG members in both districts, although members in Lucknow experienced a significantly higher increase in income and livelihood diversification. The rural district of Basti faces challenges such as market access, digital illiteracy, and infrastructural limitations, which hinder the full potential of SHGs. Recommendations emphasize infrastructural improvements, digital literacy, and financial inclusion programs, particularly for rural SHGs, to enhance their long-term sustainability and impact.

Human VS. Machine: The Balance of AI and Human Judgment in HR Decisions

Authors:-Assistant Professor Dr. Ankita Singh

Abstract- The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Human Resource (HR) decision-making has truly transformed how we approach recruitment, performance reviews, and employee engagement. With AI-driven tools, organizations can boost their efficiency by automating tasks, minimizing biases, and making more informed decisions based on data. However, there are still valid concerns about the ethical implications of AI, its lack of emotional intelligence, and the potential for reinforcing biases in hiring and promotion processes. This paper delves into the complex relationship between AI and human judgment in HR, examining how AI can enhance decision-making while ensuring that human oversight maintains fairness, ethical standards, and contextual understanding. By using a mixed-method approach, the study gathers insights from HR professionals on the integration of AI, focusing on key issues like transparency, accountability, and trust in AI-assisted decisions. The findings reveal that while AI significantly boosts efficiency and accuracy in HR tasks, human judgment remains essential for subjective assessments, such as cultural fit, employee well-being, and resolving conflicts. The research proposes a hybrid model that combines AI’s analytical strengths with human insight as the best approach for HR decision-making. This study contributes to the ongoing conversation about AI’s role in HR, offering recommendations for organizations to implement AI responsibly while maintaining ethical practices. It emphasizes the importance of establishing AI governance frameworks, highlighting that AI should complement, not replace, human HR professionals.

Abstract: This article provides an in-depth examination of the critical link between gender diversity and business performance, utilizing a robust data-driven approach to uncover patterns and insights across multiple industries and regions. It explores how the increased representation and active inclusion of women in leadership positions and across organizational hierarchies positively influence key financial indicators, including revenue growth, profitability margins, and shareholder value. By drawing on a blend of theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence—both quantitative data such as financial metrics and qualitative inputs like employee surveys and case studies—the analysis demonstrates that companies with diverse gender representation tend to outperform their less diverse counterparts. The research highlights that gender diversity fosters a culture of innovation by bringing varied viewpoints that enhance creativity and problem-solving capabilities. Moreover, it leads to improved decision-making processes through broader perspectives and critical debate, which strengthen overall organizational effectiveness and agility. However, the study also sheds light on ongoing challenges such as unconscious bias, gender stereotypes, and systemic barriers that limit the progression of women in many corporate environments. These hurdles often result in underrepresentation and reduced career advancement opportunities, impacting the full realization of diversity’s benefits. To address these challenges, the article offers actionable policy recommendations and best practices for organizations seeking to cultivate an inclusive workplace, such as mentorship programs, bias training, flexible work arrangements, and equitable recruitment practices. Ultimately, the findings reinforce the view of gender diversity not merely as a social or ethical imperative but as a strategic business advantage, crucial for driving long-term sustainable growth, enhancing competitive positioning, and building resilient organizations that can thrive amid the complexities of the modern global economy.

Abstract: The handloom sector is considered as an important sector while taking into account the culture and heritage of our country. It forms the second largest economic activity in Assam after agriculture. This sector maintains the close connection between men and the environment. The handloom weaving sector in Assam provides employment to 1, 59,577 full time weavers and 8,96,612 part-time weavers during 2021-2022( Economic survey Assam,2022-2023). But the sector is facing lots of challenges such as low income, low educated people, lack of capital, insufficient market etc. The fourth All India Handloom census disclosed that 67% weavers were earning monthly less than 5000 from their weaving activities. If it is the only occupation of them, then what would be the standard of life they are maintaining? What would be the scenario of education their children are pursuing? There are so many questions to be addressed. Here attempt has been made to understand the multiple challenges faced by handloom industry in Assam with special reference to some selected industries of Nagaon District of Assam.
