When a government borrows, it raises capital to fund public services, infrastructure, social programs, or stimulus measures during economic downturns. While sovereign debt enables growth and investment, its management is critical, as excessive borrowing can lead to unsustainable debt levels, jeopardizing economic stability. The role of sovereign debt in economic policy is multifaceted, involving the delicate balance between leveraging debt for growth and maintaining fiscal sustainability. Countries with high levels of sovereign debt face the challenge of ensuring that borrowing does not outpace the ability to repay. Debt management decisions, including the choice of borrowing sources, debt maturity, and currency risk, directly influence national fiscal policies, credit ratings, and macroeconomic stability. Sovereign debt influences inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, and social programs, as governments may implement austerity measures to reduce deficits or attract foreign investment.<br>In times of economic crisis, sovereign debt becomes even more pivotal. For instance, during the 1991 economic crisis in India, high external debt led to balance of payments issues, triggering a series of reforms including IMF support and structural adjustments. Similarly, during the COVID-19 pandemic, India’s sovereign debt increased due to large stimulus packages, raising concerns over long-term fiscal health while aiming to sustain economic recovery. Ultimately, sovereign debt not only serves as a financing tool but also serves as a key determinant in crafting fiscal and monetary policies. The management of sovereign debt is therefore central to a country's economic strategy, influencing both short-term stability and long-term development.</p> Suresh Kumar Copyright (c) 2024 Suresh Kumar https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/4089 Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000 HEALTH INSURANCE IS A ROAD TO FINANCIAL HEAVEN”- A STUDY ON PERCEPTION AND SATISFACTION OF CUSTOMERS TOWARDS HEALTH INSURANCE. https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/4088 <p>INTRODUCTION: Nature is uncertain and unpredictable.

There is an urgent need to foster environmental awareness among individuals to ensure the conservation, protection, and sustainability of our environment. As a result, environmental education has been integrated into school curricula from an early stage. <br>This study explores environmental awareness among secondary school students, comparing those in residential and non-residential settings, with a focus on gender and rural-urban differences. Environmental education plays a pivotal role in fostering sustainable behaviors and informed ecological practices. The study utilized a normative survey method and a self-designed environmental awareness questionnaire to assess the knowledge of 600 students across various demographic categories. The research findings reveal no significant difference in environmental awareness between residential and non-residential students. However, gender-based differences were observed, with female students consistently demonstrating higher environmental awareness than their male counterparts, particularly in residential settings. Additionally, the study identified a more pronounced gender gap in rural non-residential schools, where girls outperformed boys. These findings suggest that while residency status does not directly influence environmental awareness, gender and geographical context significantly impact students’ environmental attitudes. The study highlights the need for targeted educational interventions to engage male students, particularly in rural settings, and recommends curriculum modifications that address the specific needs of both genders. Educational policies should focus on fostering inclusive, community-based learning environments that encourage environmental literacy for all students, regardless of residency.</p> Dandinkar Suryakant Copyright (c) 2022 Dandinkar Suryakant https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/4085 Thu, 30 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000 A STUDY ON ADJUSTMENT PROBLEM OF RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL STUDENTS IN CHIKKAMAGALUR https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/4070 <p>This study examines the adjustment difficulties faced by sixth (VI) grade students in residential schools in Chikkamagalur, Karnataka. Adjustment is the process of balancing internal needs with external demands, essential for psychological well-being and social functioning. The research explores how factors like gender; religion, caste, and locality influence these challenges, aiming to guide interventions for student support. Initially a biological concept, adjustment now includes psychological and social aspects, shaped by internal and external influences. The Individuals adopt coping strategies when conflicts arise. This study assesses adjustment levels among different student groups to understand factors affecting their adaptability. The research involved 400 students from residential schools. Data were collected using a problem checklist and analyzed statistically, including t-tests. Results showed boys faced more adjustment challenges than girls. No significant differences were found between Hindu and others students or across caste categories. Rural students had slightly higher adjustment issues than urban students, but the difference was not statistically significant.<br>These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions, particularly for boys and rural students. Educational authorities should implement support measures to address their difficulties, while also considering the unique challenges faced by girls. Collaboration among educators, administrators, and parents is crucial to creating a supportive environment.<br>The research provides valuable insights into the adjustment challenges experienced by residential school students in Chikkamagalur. Addressing these challenges through well-designed educational initiatives and psychosocial support can significantly enhance their well-being and academic success.</p> Dandinkar Suryakant Copyright (c) 2024 Dandinkar Suryakant https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/4070 Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000 RHETORIC IN SILENCE!

Effective corporate governance frameworks help to mitigate risks, reduce instances of corporate misconduct, and ensure that businesses operate in a sustainable manner. Financial crises, often characterized by excessive risk-taking, poor decision-making, and lack of oversight, have historically been exacerbated by weak governance structures in financial institutions. This paper explores the key components of corporate governance such as board composition, executive compensation, risk management practices, and shareholder rights and how they contribute to preventing financial crises. By examining past financial crises and their roots in governance failures, the study highlights the importance of robust governance structures in promoting financial stability. Furthermore, the paper discusses regulatory reforms and best practices that can strengthen corporate governance and mitigate systemic risks in the financial system. Ultimately, this research emphasizes the need for improved governance practices to foster long-term economic stability and reduce the likelihood of future financial disruptions.</p> Dr. Arunkumar Copyright (c) 2024 Dr. Arunkumar https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/4083 Thu, 29 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000 THE IMPACT OF CSR ON SHAREHOLDER VALUE https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/4082 <p>The impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives on shareholder value is examined in this paper, along with the ways in which socially conscious business practices affect market perceptions and firm performance. Based on a thorough analysis of the body of research and empirical data, the study explores whether and how CSR investments can improve risk management, competitive differentiation, and financial results. The research shows that CSR initiatives, from community involvement to ethical labor practices and environmental sustainability, can boost investor confidence and result in long-term value creation by examining case studies and statistical data from a variety of industries. According to the findings, although the direct financial benefits of corporate social responsibility (CSR) may differ depending on the industry, enhanced market valuation and stakeholder trust are typically associated with the strategic integration of CSR into core business operations. By outlining the circumstances in which corporate social responsibility (CSR) investments are most likely to result in quantifiable benefits for shareholders, this paper adds to the ongoing discussion and offers guidance to investors, policymakers, and corporate executives who are interested in the long-term viability of businesses.</p> Dr. Arunkumar Salgar Copyright (c) 2023 Dr. Arunkumar Salgar https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/4082 Fri, 30 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 THE ROLE OF DERIVATIVES IN HEDGING FINANCIAL RISKS https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/4081 <p>Financial instruments known as derivatives, which get their value from an underlying asset, index, or rate, are essential for controlling financial risk. Derivatives like futures, options, and swaps are used by businesses, investors, and financial institutions in the contemporary financial environment to protect themselves against possible losses brought on by shifts in the market, interest rates, currency volatility, and commodity prices. Derivatives offer an efficient way to stabilize portfolios and guard against unfavorable price fluctuations by facilitating the transfer of risk between parties. The different kinds of derivatives, their function in risk management, and their effect on financial stability are all examined in this essay. It also explores the tactics used by market players to maximize risk exposure and reduce the possible monetary losses brought on by market uncertainties. The difficulties and moral issues surrounding the use of derivatives, especially in highly leveraged markets, are also covered in the study.</p> Dr. Arunkumar Copyright (c) 2022 Dr. Arunkumar https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://www.granthaalayahpublication.org/Arts-Journal/ShodhKosh/article/view/4081 Thu, 30 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000
