 Abstract

Construction projects are found to suffer various problems and complex factors such as cost, duration, quality safety, management etc. Construction industry has been growing remarkably during the past several years. However, the most hazardous worksites in the country may be found in this industry. Construction is a high hazard industry that usually comprises of a wide range of activities that may even involve construction, alteration, and repair too. Construction workers engage in many activities that would make them exposed to very serious hazards, such as falling from rooftops, unguarded machinery, being struck by heavy construction equipment, electrocutions, silica dust, asbestos, fire, trench collapse etc. Each project shall have a safety management system in place that outlines the policies, processes, instruction, and documentation that will serve to establish the culture of safety and understanding for all tiers involved on the project. It is thus necessary to find out the type of hazards that are common on site so as to suggest ways to minimize the same. Nowadays like most other countries in the world automation and digitalization is introduced in construction sector too that make construction activity much more faster and safer. The scope of a fully digitalized construction sector is to be analysed so as to implement safety at job site.

Abstract: The Rapti River is the most important left-bank tributary of the Ghaghra. The Rapti rises south of a prominent E-W ridgeline midway between the western Dhaulagiri Himalaya and the Mahabharat Range in Nepal at an elevation of about 3048 m. The Dundwa range, a subrange of the Shiwaliks in western Nepal, diverts the Rapti for some 100 km west before the river resumes its southward course towards the Ganga. After flowing through Nepal, it enters eastern Uttar Pradesh in Chanda Pargana, east of the Kundwa village of Bahraich district. The flood waters of the river Rapti are being controlled by the Rapti Barrage. This is situated upstream of the Bhinga site in the district of Shravasti and is maintained by the state government. The Rapti River Basin is part of the middle Ganga plain. It is fed by numerous tributaries and affluents that drop vertically down into Rapti from Shiwalik and its foothills. The basin is a homogenous accretional plain of older and newer alluvial deposits. Like in other tropical monsoon areas, seasonal rainfall causes inundation, floods, water logging, and severe erosion as well as large scale overbank deposition in the Rapti river basin also.

 Abstract

The patterns of the supply chain are shifting as a result of innovations in the digital arena and entrepreneurial endeavours, and customers of all ages and generations are being forced to use digital technologies. The purpose of the study is to investigate the digital disruptions that have been imposed on the lives of members of generation X and to determine the modes of purchase and payment that are now preferred by customers of a large PSU bank in India. A comparison is made between the during and after first wave survey and the preceding literature in order to determine whether or not the behaviour of consumers and their preferences about modes of purchase and payment have changed considerably or have changed at all. People of the poor and middle-middle classes in India, particularly members of generation X and baby boomer generations who live in smaller towns and have more faith in public sector banks than in private sector banks, are most likely to choose this bank. Even though there were some subtle changes in consumers' preferences, we found that these alterations cannot be considered a long-term shift in behaviour and are subject to change as brick-and-mortar establishments resume regular operations.

 Abstract

Quality management systems are being operated in some sectors in India. But it is rare to meet this system in construction industry. There are many hindrances that make it difficult to apply the system effectively due to the nature of construction and therefore no objective way to measure the effectiveness of this system exist in construction industry. Objective of this study is to evaluate the critical factors that affect the quality management system on quality improvement and performance in construction projects. It also aims to evaluate the effectiveness of quality management system (QMS) in construction projects. Finally, it proposes an implementation framework for quality management in construction projects. Data Will be collected and analysed using statistical techniques with the help of appropriate software. The factors included are project background aspects, general quality aspects and standard code representing aspects. All the above factors will be subjected to descriptive analysis, and regression analysis. The critical factors obtained through the above said analysis will be validated with the critical factors obtained by the various previous researchers. Regression equations have been proposed to identify the strongest predictor among the independent variable which have cause and effect relationship on dependent variable. The study brings out the underlying critical factors which are responsible for the implementation of quality management in construction projects. Also, suitable recommendations and suggestions for effective quality management system for construction projects will be presented.

Abstract: An organization's human resources are necessary to carry out various commercial tasks. The organization cannot exist or function successfully without the help of human resources. In general, the construction sector frequently has challenges in fulfilling project completion schedules and budgets due to a lack of trained labour and staff to complete the intended job. This level of complexity may be controlled and such difficulties can be dealt with effectively using human resource management approaches to avoid labour shortages. The efficient utilization of human resources is critical to any organization's success. In India, human resources are the most important contributory force for any firm. As a result, human resource management (HRM), or the management of human resources, must become increasingly important in India. A detailed survey was conducted to identify HRM-related issues within the construction company, and the results were analyzed with a particular focus on the human resource practices that are commonly followed in the south Indian construction industry, the availability of skilled labour, and the formal or informal methods or forms commonly used for human resource management. In this work the issues affecting human resource management and its effect in the functioning of the organization has been studied and analyzed using Relative Importance Index (RII) Method. The data is entered using MS Excel and the analysis is done using MS Excel. Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet developed by Microsoft for Windows, Android and IOS. It features calculation or computation capabilities, graphing tools, pivot tables.
