IMPACT OF LIQUDITY ON PROFITABILITY: A STUDY OF SELECT IT COMPANIES

Abstract

Liquidity and Profitability are two vital variables, which can have impact on the overall performance and survival of a company. Liquidity ensures short term obligations of the business are met in time and profitability shows ability to earn with respect to investments. This study is carried out on selected IT companies to see if liquidity has an impact on profitability. The study is based on a time period of five years and top five IT companies were selected for the study. The impact analysis was done using SPSS 26.0 and the results of the study show that neither Current ratio, nor Quick Ratio impact Return on Equity and Return on Assets. That means liquidity does not impact profitability of IT companies.

THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE ROLE OF SELF-HELP GROUPS (SHGS) IN ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGS): A REVIEW

Abstract

This paper furnishes a comprehensive theoretical exegesis on the instrumental role enacted by Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in facilitating the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the context of rural India, with a specific contextual reference to Medak District in Telangana. The analysis undertakes a critical examination of foundational theoretical frameworks, notably the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (SLF), Women\'s Empowerment Theory, and Participatory Development Theory, to construct robust conceptual linkages between the operational modalities of SHGs and the broader, interconnected SDG agenda. By synthesizing a diverse and multidisciplinary corpus of literature—encompassing scholarly articles, empirical studies, and institutional reports—this review delineates the precise mechanisms through which SHGs function as efficacious grassroots instruments. Their contributions are critically appraised in relation to discrete SDG targets, including the amelioration of multidimensional poverty (SDG-1), the advancement of gender equality and female agency (SDG-5), the promotion of decent work and inclusive economic growth (SDG-8), and the mitigation of pervasive socioeconomic inequalities (SDG-10). The paper culminates in a critical appraisal, identifying salient lacunae and theoretical oversimplifications within contemporary scholarly and practitioner applications. It subsequently proffers prescriptive recommendations for future research trajectories, advocating for a more nuanced, interdisciplinary, and contextually-grounded theoretical engagement to fully elucidate the potential of SHGs as catalysts for sustainable development.

A REVIEW ON INDIA’S FOREIGN POLICY IN THE CHANGING GLOBAL LANDSCAPE

Abstract

This study examines and evaluates the Indian foreign policy in the present context and how the domestic nationalistic environment has affected country\'s external dimensions. The research question for this thesis is to identify the changes within India\'s foreign policy and how it has changed India\'s global image and reputation. I have used the theory of compatibility and Consensus. The aspects of a nation’s internal, external and systematic referents could be understood in a simple way through this process. Deductive approach has been opted as the methodology for this research, along with the comparative method to understand the growth trajectory. Primary as well as secondary sources have been utilised to explore various readings available on this study. The geopolitical transition happened in the past few decades has assisted the country to put forward a strong image as a stable economy. We can conclude that the emergence of the current regime, nationalistic emotions and domestic stability has built a reliable consensus at home for India, to redefine itself as a compatible global leader at the world stage. By employing a continuity-and-change framework, the study demonstrates that India’s foreign policy has not undergone a radical departure from its post-independence principles.
