Government policy towards small scale industry

Industrial Policy for Small Scale industry The small scale sector has always been given a prominent place in the successive industrial policies. The Government of India in its first Industrial Policy Resolution (IPR) 1948 emphasized the role and importance of small scale industries (SSIs) in India’s economic development.

The definition has been periodically revised by raising the ceiling of investment. the small scale units were defined as undertakings with a fixed capital investment of less than Rs.7.5 Iakhs and ancillary units with a fixed capital investment of Rs. 10 lakhs.

Privatisation

The word ‘privatization’ has been receiving much attention in business, government and academic circles on a global platform. Infact, the language and programmes of privatization have disseminated so rapidly throughout the. world that the phenomenon can be likened to a revolution or a boon. Privatization techniques have already been tried in countries like Great Britain, China, the US, Turkey, Brazil, Mexico and Japan.In our country too, a beginning towards privatization has been made with the sale upto 20 per cent of the equity capital of 30 plus select public sector units (PSUs), first to mutual funds and financial institutions and later to the investing public. While the experience of disinvestment of PSUs has been a mix of encouragement and disheartenment, it is advisable to go slow in the direction. This chapter tries to justify the need for going slow in the process of privatization. First, it is useful to know history, nature, objectives and the extent of privatization in our c...

Export-orientation had been seen as being against the country’s interests. 5. The structure of ownership was highly concentrated. 6. Technical and managerial skills were in short supply.

Categories of multimedia

Muttirnedia may be broad divided to linear and non-linear categoties. Linear actrs’e content progresses without any navigation control for the viewer such as a cinema presentation. Non-linear Content offers user interactivity to cOntrol progress as used with a computer game or used in self- paced computer based training. Non-linear content is also known as hypermedia content. Multimedia presentations can be live or recorded, recorded presentation may allow interactivity via a navigation system. A live multimedia presentation may allow interactivity via interaction with the presenter or performer. The linear multimedia is where the us,rs or the viewer’s cannot interact with the media such as a movie.

Web browser

The World Wide Web is a system of internet servers that support specially formatted documents. Web browsers are used to make it easy to access the World Wide Web. Browsers are able to display Web pages in part to an underlying Web protocol called HyperTextTransfer Protocol. HTTP defines how messages are formatted and transmitted and what actions Web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands. It allows Web clients and Web servers to communicate with each other. When we enter a Web address in the browser, this actually sends an HTTP command to the Web server directing it to fetch and transmit the requested Web page and display the information in the browser. All Web servers serving Web sites and pages support the HTTP protocol. For example the web address to reach the definition of browser on Google is: http://www.google.comlbrowser.html. As one enter the URL http://www.google.com/browser.html” into the address line of the browser, the browser breaks that web addre...

Email

EmaiI is a method of transferring electronic messages using the Internet. Electronic mail sometimes called email is a computer based method of sending and receiving messages from one computer to another. These messages usually consist of individual pieces of text which can be sent to another computer user even if the other user is not using the computer at the time when the message was sent. The message can be read at a later time. This procedure is analogous to sending and receiving a letter. OriginaNy email messages were restricted to simple text but now many systems can handle more complicated formats such as graphics and word processed documEnts. When mail is received on a computer system it is usually stored in an electronic mailbox for the recipient to read later. Electronic mailboxes are usually special files on a computer which can be aècessed using various commands. Each user normally has their individual mailbox. It is very easy to send electronic mail between users of di...

computer networking

Computer network is a structure of internet in these chapter we are discribe what is computer networking, its types and other to be related of computer networking so discribe below 1. Computer network 2. Types of network 3. Local area network 4. Metropolitan area network 5. Wide area network 6. Internet 7. Evalution of internet 8. Applications of internet

computer network

1. Computer network A network can be defined as a group of computers and other devices connected toeach other so that they can exchange data. Each of the devices on the network can be turned as a node. A node can be a computer, printer or any other device capable of sending and receiving data generated by other nodes on the network. 2. Types of network There are three types of networks a. LAN b. MAN c. WAN

Local area network (LAN)

3. Local area network (LAN) A LAN ia a network that is used for communicating computer devices, usally within an office building or home. LAN enables the sharing of resources such as file or hardware devices that may be needed by multiple users. The geographical area covered by LAN is limited in size, typically spanning a few hundred meters and no more than a mile

Metropolitan area networkst(MAN)

4. Metropolitan area network (MAN) Metropolitan area network is larger than a local area network and as its name implies, covers the area of a single city. MAN rarely extends beyond 100 KM and frequently comprises a combination of different hardware and transmission media. A MAN might be owned and operated by single organization , but it usually will be used by many individuals and organizations.

wide area networks (WAN)

5. Wide area network (WAN)A wide area network is a network that is usally used for connecting computers, which spans a wide geographical area, such as between different cities, states or even countries. WAN’s often connect multiple smaller network , such as local area network or metropolitan area networks. The world’s most popular WAN is the network.

Internet

6. Internet INTERNET means of transport for information. It is not a thing but it is a set of standards which allow different computers to communicate with each other. The internet , sometimes called simply “the net” is a network of networks in which users at any one computer can get the information from any other computer in the world and sometimes talk directly to the users of any other computer anywhere in the world.

Evalution of internet

7. Evalution of internet In 1969, the department of defense advanced research project agency (ARPA) developed an experimental network called ARPA net to link together four supercomputing centres for military research.In 1991, the U.S high performance computing act established the NREN (national research & education network) NREN’s goal was to develop and maintain high-speed networks for research and education and to investigate commercial users for the internet.

Applications of internet

8. Application of internet The internet provides many facilities to the people. The main application areas of internet are discusses below: 1. Collection of world’s information 2. Sharing information 3. Searching jobs  4. Entertainment  5. Online education  6. Online result 7. Social networking 8. advertisement
