Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of H.R. practices on the Employee Attrition in Defence PSUs in India. Basically, Hiring Practices and Performance Appraisal & Training Practices are the two major aspects of the H.R. Practices that have been researched upon in this paper.

Abstract: The study tries to estimate the existingawareness and understanding of the outlay and rewards of Eco-naturalfood across innumerate levels viz.generation, environmental, marketer, and consumer purchase dimensions. Eco-naturalfood shows many potential rewards that mainly include higher biodiversity and improved soil and water quality, enhanced profitability, and higher nutritional value as well as many potential outlay including lower yields and higher consumer prices. However, numerous important dimensions have high uncertainty, particularly the environmental performance when controlling for lower Eco-natural yields, but also yield stability, soil erosion, water use, and labor conditions. Study is an effort to identify conditions that influence the relative acceptance...........

Abstract: This study examines the effect of audit committee independence and size on financial reporting quality of listed deposit money banks (DMB) in Nigeria. Cross sectional data was obtained from the Nigerian Stock Exchange fact books and the financial statements of fifteen (15) listed deposit money banks over a period of ten years (2007-2016). The modified Jones (1991) model was adopted to measure financial reporting quality. The data was analyzed using STATA 13. The study reveals that audit committee independence has a negative but significant effect on financial reporting quality of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. Also, audit committee size has no significant effect on the financial reporting quality of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study concludes that audit committee independence has a negative and significant effect while audit committee size is positive and.............

Abstract: This paper examines the purview to which financial sector policies influencecommercial bank performance in Kenya. The banking environment in Kenya has, for the past decade, undergone many regulatory and financial reforms, such as capital adequacy, liquidity management, credit risk management and interest rate management policies to include risk and consumer protection. These reforms have brought about many structural changes in the sector and have also encouraged foreign banks to enter and expand their operations in the country. Kenya's financial sector is largely bank-based as the capital market is still considered narrow and shallow. Banks dominate the financial sector in Kenya and as such the process of financial intermediation in the country depends heavily on commercial banks. The performance of the banking industry in the Kenya improved tremendously........
