Revisiting 'Indic' Culture to Redefine HRD 

ABSTRACT 

Many scholars consider Hindu religion or Indic Culture as having 'fuzzy' edges. This 

Paper goes directly to the Hindu scriptures and attempts to reinterpret the same in 

a way that brings out their true meaning ‐‐ as supported by scriptures of other main 

religions practised in the Indian sub‐continent. This approach is not yet found in 

Indian literature; however, it has great implications for modern Business Managers 

because it avoids the 'iron cage' of industrial culture, and mediates the purposive‐ 

rational style of our business managers. 

This short book is an attempt to demonstrate the essential similarity of all major 

religions, and it reveals that pride and spiritual reward are intrinsic to Indian 

worker's socially assigned 'economic' work. This Indic work ethics, in turn, 

persuades the managers to become value‐based role models to their own workers; 

moreso, these values are the same for 'secular' and 'spiritual' organisations. Thus, 

its findings enable all types of organisations to predict reasonably the contextual 

judgment and behaviour of individuals to various internal and external stimuli and, 

thereby, it assists in unleashing the Power of Excellence and Ethics in Human 

Resource Management.

ABSTRACT 

Technology and e‐Learning Assisted Opportunities for Testing & Evaluation of 

Students 

The Educator today has a vast opportunity to equip himself or herself with one or 

more methods of mass e‐communication technology and e‐learning platforms. 

These techniques also provide an improved methodology for Testing & Evaluation. 

But to make use of these opportunities the Educator must become tech‐savvy and 

adept in their use and manipulation. Moreso, certain infrastructural framework that 

is financially affordable, ought also to be provided by the Government. 

Unfortunately, no motherboards (nay, not even computer cabinets) are 

manufactured in India; the lone open‐source Operating Systems developed here is 

BOSS ‐‐ tweak it as shown in the left panel of:

ABSTRACT 

Foreign Educational Institutions (Regulation of Entry and Operations) Bill 2010 

This BILL seeks to regulate entry and operation of foreign educational institutions 

imparting or intending to impart higher education (including technical education 

and medical education and award of degree, diploma and equivalent qualifications 

by such institutions) and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. 

Excerpts: 

FOREIGN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS 

3. No foreign educational institution shall admit any person as a student, or collect 

any fee from such person or its students in India for any course of study leading to 

the award of a degree or a diploma, by whatever name called, unless such 

institution has been notified by the Central Government as a foreign education 

provider under sub‐section (8) of section 4. 

4. (1) Any foreign educational institution which intents to impart education in India, 

shall submit an application, for being recognised and notified as a foreign education 

provider under this Act, to the Registrar and such application be duly endorsed by 

the concerned Embassy or High Commission in India of the country in which such 

institution is established or incorporated and has been offering educational services

ABSTRACT 

Criminal Law Amendment Act 2013 (on Rape etc) 

This Act received the assent of President on 02.04.2013. It amends IPC, Cr.P.C, 

Indian Evidence Act and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act 2012. 

Some of its salient features are:‐ 

Vide Clause Seventhly in Section 100 of IPC, it makes throwing of acid (within 

certain parameters) as a criminal offence. This Section should be read with Sections 

326A & 326B of IPC which deal with acid, burns etc. 

Vide Section 166A it makes non‐registration of FIR (in certain cases) by the police 

officer a criminal offence. 

Vide Section 166B, it treats contravention of Section 357C of Cr.P.C by a Clinic or 

Hospital etc a criminal offence. 

[Comments: By implication, S.354 excludes eunuchs, lesbians etc; it also does not 

specify that ‘man’ should be a person capable of performing sex, nor does it define 

‘man’ as a person who has attained the legal ‘age of majority’. Moreso, the use of 

words "with the knowledge that he is likely to cause such injury or hurt..." in Section 

326A, implies that a juvenile ‐‐ as long as he has that knowledge (may be due to 

Cinema, TV, School‐education etc) ought to be punished in the same manner and to 

the same extent as an accused who has attained the physical age of maturity.]

e‐Courts: Action Plan 

ABSTRACT 

The e‐Committee of Supreme Court of India prepared on 01 August 2005 a National 

Policy and Action Plan for Implementation of Information and Communication 

Technology in the Indian Judiciary. 

It says that: 

“In the Indian Judiciary, effort for computerization of some of its processes has been 

going on since 1990. Need was felt to make the programme of ICT enablement of 

the Indian Judiciary mission‐critical. There was an overwhelming realization in the 

judicial sector in favour of devising a National Policy and Action Plan with 

appropriate spread and phasing to implement ICT in courts across the country and 

their web‐based interlinking.” 

[Comments: However, the results at the ground level are poor ‐‐ even in Supreme 

Court e‐filing is riddled with serious issues; to cite a few:‐ 

i) Online payment via Internet banking is not permitted ‐‐ only foreign Visa/ Master 

Credit Cards (not Debit Cards of Indian Banks) are allowed, instead of online Banking 

through Nationalised Indian Banks; 

ii) There is undue Delay in raising ‘Office Objections’, if any ‐‐ moreso, there is no 

Citizens’ Charter specifying the maximum time allowed at each Step; 

iii) Whereas Parliament has prescribed a Fees of Rs.10.00 per Application under RTI 

Act, the Allahabad High Court has arbitrarily, whimsically, unreasonably and unfairly 

fixed it at Rs.500.00 per Question; ... The list is quite long.]

ABSTRACT 

Values and Propensity to Adopt New HRM Web‐Based Technologies as 

Determinants of HR Efficiency and Effectiveness: A Firm Level Resource‐Based 

Analysis 

This Research Paper has been included, with the permission of its Author, as a 

Model for other Contributors on the art & science of writing a Research Paper. 

This paper explores the usefulness of analyzing a firm’s performance from a 

combination of a web‐based human resource view and strategic human resource 

characteristics. In addressing issues pertaining to HR efficiency and HR 

effectiveness, the Technology Adoption Life Cycle (TALC) model (Moore 2001) is 

introduced. The latter helps to classify HR practitioner’s adoption behavior along 

the ‘TALC’ continuum where HR functions and the web‐based HRMS are classified. 

This classification facilitates a better understanding of the HR information 

technology and strategic HR relationship. The empirical study is based on a web‐ 

based portal in which 192 SAP client‐users organizations across 5 continents 

participated. The findings identify the configurations which add significantly to good 

or poor HR efficiency and HR effectiveness dimensions throughout the usage and 

implementation of HR technology. It seems that innovative HR technologies play a 

strategic and operational role in adding value to the HR department’s performance. 

The results show that when some HR technology functionalities are absent or poorly 

implemented, there are noticeable consequences for the HR department.
