Tapping Economies of Scale and Scope in Consumer Cooperation - A Case Analysis of Possible Cooperation among selected Cooperatives
No full textBecause of its narrow and negative perspective of safeguarding the interests of only poor consumers against unethical practices of the private traders, consumer cooperation in India seems to have failed, except probably in some isolated pockets. A number of social welfare functions like poverty alleviation and public distribution of essential items of consumption have been imposed on them at the cost of their basic economics. With the basic micro and macro-economic rationale for consumer cooperatives as a positive form of economic organization being lost sight of, they seem to be facing enormous problems both historically as well as currently in a era of economic liberalization. Their worries seem to have been compounded with the threat of impending competition from large private enterpriss - both domestic and foreign, which highlights the need for evolving strategies to rectivy their systemic weaknesses and tackling the competition head on. This case has attempted to document just such an initiative through a round table conference with several doyens of the consumer cooperative movement in India such as Warana Bazar and Amalsad Mandali as well as some fledging consumer cooperatives from West Bengal which are already in existence for some time or contemplating entry into this field. The roundtable conference organized in the spirit of Cooperation among Cooperatives attempted to evolve strategies to capture economies of scale and scope in order to take on the competition, as well as to facilitate dissemination of ideas and information across the country.

‘Well-Being’ of Domestic Workers in India
No full textWork that domestic workers engage is highly demanding and undervalued. Though a large number of women are employed in this sector, statistical clarity largely remains unaddressed. The sector is plagued with unregulated low wages and lack of policies. Thus it becomes essential to understand the well-being and mental health of domestic workers. Through different empirical studies, it has been observed that these women suffer from depression, anxiety, suicide ideation and suicidal attempts. They face a plethora of interwoven complex web of problems that range from intimate partner violence, alcoholic male family members, lack of child care facilities, financial burden, and interrelationship conflicts etc. The work demands them to take orders from individuals who are younger than them and often bear the considerable amount of humiliation too. This makes it imperative to study the well-being of domestic workers. This chapter outlines the concept of well-being followed by the different models of well-being such as Mental Health Continuum, PERMA, Psychological Capital (PsyCap) and Quality of life. The chapter then leads to the issues and challenges faced by domestic workers such as unregulated and underpayment of wages, caste and religion, non-recognition of skills, working conditions etc. Finally, the chapter culminates suggesting few well-being initiatives. In future, mental health programs addressing the mental health and well-being issues need to be designed. The sector needs to be pursued diligently in the modern welfare society
Sanjeev Coke, a Critique - An Evaluation of Article 39(B)
No full textThis paper seeks to look at the Directive Principle enshrined in Article 39(b) of the Constitution of India and analyze it in light of the Fundamental Rights enshrined in the Constitution. The author shall demonstrate that the Supreme Court of India has been mistaken in its analysis of the scope of Article 39(b); particularly in relation to Article 31C, and generally in relation to Part III of the Constitution. The interpretation placed by the Court in Sanjeev Coke is currently being reviewed by a larger Bench of nine judges. This paper attempts to posit the argument that Article39 (b) should not be deployed towards the nationalization of private property or the collection of assets/resources by the State, but must, instead, be interpreted such that it applies to the stage of distribution, as distinct from the stage of collection, of assets

Does context matter for the relationship between deprivation and all-cause mortality?:The West vs. the rest of Scotland
No full textA growing body of research emphasizes the importance of contextual factors on health outcomes. Using postcode sector data for Scotland (UK), this study tests the hypothesis of spatial heterogeneity in the relationship between area-level deprivation and mortality to determine if contextual differences in the West vs. the rest of Scotland influence this relationship. Research into health inequalities frequently fails to recognise spatial heterogeneity in the deprivation-health relationship, assuming that global relationships apply uniformly across geographical areas. In this study, exploratory spatial data analysis methods are used to assess local patterns in deprivation and mortality. Spatial regression models are then implemented to examine the relationship between deprivation and mortality more formally
