The mutual fund industry in India started in 1963 with the formation of Unit Trust of India (UTI) at the initiative of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Government of India. The objective was to attract small investors and introduce them to market investments. In 1963, UTI was established by an Act of Parliament as only entity offering mutual funds in India. New era in the mutual fund industry began in 1993 with the permission granted for the entry of private sector funds. The year 1999 marked the beginning of a new phase in the history of the mutual fund industry in India, in terms of both amount mobilized from investors and assets under management. This paper attempts to study the performance in terms of monthly as well as yearly returns of selected private sector Large Cap as well as Small and Midcap Mutual Fund schemes ranked as 1 by CRISIL as on 7th Feb 2018.Secondary data has been collected for analysis from www.moneycontrol.com/mutualfundindia. The comparison has been done with benchmark returns within each cap as well as among the schemes themselves. The paper has also drawn out the opinion for suitability of schemes to different classes of investors and have also traced the effect of the new budgetary change announced in Jan 2018 on overall Mutual Fund Equity schemes.

The aim of this research was to understand the investment and spending patterns of Indians and Singaporeans from 2010 to till date. The objective is to understand the reason behind the nature of investment and spending behaviour of the people who work in IT industry which made a major difference in the income of people in the last 10 years. India having strong roots of saving habit is now transforming to spending habit when the income increases rather than increase in the saving percentage. Since the nature of spending has transformed to that of a developed country, the pattern has been compared to the investment and spending pattern of Singapore.

The achievement of any type of organization is completely relying on the quality of work forces it has. This can be credited to the primary issue that every one of the issues of the association emerges because of social and human factor and not because of any specialized and actual factor. Thus it gets significant to deal with the human asset of an association in a proficient way. One among the crucial way to manage the human resource of an organization is to provide a better QWL (quality of work life) to the workers. It assists with improving the work execution of the work forces inside any organization. A compelling Quality of work life assist to draw in new representatives and abilities yet additionally it assists with holding the workers who are as of now existing.. On the basis of the abovementioned concept, the current research has attempted to study the impact of work life quality on the job performance of teaching faculties in Government Arts College, Kumbakonam. The study was carried out among the assistant professors, associate professors and guest lecturers from whom the data was collected with the help of a questionnaire. The respondents were selected by way of simple random sampling and the analysis of the data was done using regression. The outcomes of the analysis show that job performance is influenced by QWL and both are seen to have a positive relationship with each other.

 Abstract

Indian agriculture accounts for 17 to 18% to its GDP and 50% of work force of population (farmers) are employed in it yet struggles to survive and earn their livelihood. Despite of tremendous efforts of the Government to improve financial literacy among the farmers, still lack in basic awareness of financial services offered to them. Puducherry state was first to achieve complete financial inclusion in the year 2012 but yet to utilize the financial services and products offered to them effectively and efficiently. Medium and small farmers of Puducherry are yet to have complete awareness of formal financial system. The study focusses on kind of perception and level of awareness that the respondents carry over the banking services and financial products namely No Frill Accounts and Kisan Credit Card offered to them. The paper tries to clarify that positive perception and higher level of awareness of financial services and products would ultimately result in improved accessibility and usage and in turn would improve inclusive growth. The study has adopted stratified random sampling where 382 farmers from the extreme rural areas of Puducherry have been selected for the assessment.

 Abstract

The object-oriented approach has been the most popular software design methodology for the past twenty-five years. Several design patterns and principles are defined to improve the design quality of object-oriented software systems. In addition, designers can use unique design motifs that are designed for the specific application domains. Another commonly used technique is cloning and modifying some parts of the software while creating new modules. Therefore, object-oriented programs can include many identical design structures. In this paper we are developing an algorithm which help to find the connected modules inside package or from on package to another package so that we can determine the cohesion and coupling in project which help to determine the reusability of modules in the project.

 Abstract

Emission from vehicles especially automobiles is responsible for about two third of air pollution in the urban area. The major pollutants emitted by motor vehicles including CO, NOx, sulphur oxides, (SO), HC, lead (Pb) and suspended particulate matter (SPM), have damaging effects on both human health and ecology. The internal combustion engines need a mixture of air and fuel to burn and produce energy to propel the vehicle. These burnt gases which come out of the exhaust are responsible for pollution. In petrol engines, the gases comprise a mixture of unburnt hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx). If these gases are in excess quantities, vehicular pollution is caused. Emissions of Diesel vehicles are the concentration of CO and unburnt HC in the diesel exhaust are rather low, both of which are compensated by high concentration of NOx and CO2. There are smoke particles and oxygenated HC, including aldehydes and odour-producing compounds. This paper initially presents various types of pollution emitted by vehicles, their effect on human health and mitigation measures by the use of various new technologies of Automobile Engineering and Alternative fuels.

 Abstract

The healthcare industry collects a large amount of data that is not properly mined and not optimally used. Discovery of these hidden patterns and relationships often goes unexploited. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have great potential to improve health in both developed and developing countries by enhancing access to health information and making health services more efficient; they can also contribute to improving the quality of services and reducing their cost. Patient information systems, for example, have the ability to track individual health problems and treatment over time, giving insight into optimal diagnosis and treatment of the individual as well as improving the delivery of services. This is particularly useful in chronic diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, as well as health services for mothers and children, where a record of health and treatment is required within a given time period. Our research focuses on this aspect of Medical diagnosis by learning pattern through the collected data of diabetes and heart diseases and to develop intelligent medical decision support systems to help the doctors. Analyzing data in patient information systems can lead to a new insight and understanding of health and disease, both chronic and acute. In this paper, we propose the use of decision trees ID3 algorithm classify these diseases and compare the effectiveness, correction rate among them.
