Title: Sustainable Agriculture in India: Issues and Challenges Ahead

Abstract: In India, agriculture sector contributes about 20.02% of the country’s GDP (2020-21). Much diversity is found in Indian agriculture such as cropping, climate, irrigation pattern etc. There are many opportunities to take advantages of these diversities to meet the sustainable needs of the population. Sustainable agriculture is the way of farming according to location specific ecosystem and study of relationships between the organism and their environment. The Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization (LPG) model adopted in 1991 has adversely affected the agriculture in India. The viability of the agriculture should be enhanced which could significantly improve the growth prospects of the economy. The agricultural production in India is also adversely affected by the climate change due to global warming. India has attained self-reliance in food grains production but the future demand for food grain and raw material will not be satisfied from the current agriculture production. Increased demand and low production will create the burden on the agricultural production and will give rise to food inflation in India. The agricultural productivity and the income of the small and marginal farmers have declined. These problems can be overcome with the help of sustainable agricultural development.

Title: Structural Relation amongst Components of Container Management, Effectiveness of Container Management and Supply Chain Management

Abstract: The present study elucidates that significant difference exists amongst profile of respondents and container management. Time of schedule, strategic leadership, cost control and vessel capacities have positive and significant influence on supply chain management. In addition, cost control, vessel capacity, time of schedule and strategic leadership have significant, positive and direct influence on effectiveness of container management, while, effectiveness of container management has significant, positive and direct influence on supply chain management. Therefore, all the hypotheses are supported by the findings of the present study. Therefore, it is essential to develop a model capable of predicting the time of arrival for vessels, providing terminal planners with accurate information to facilitate optimal berth planning and the owners of containers must improve container operations by implementing integrated operations, optimizing system dynamics, utilizing information sharing systems, and deploying advanced technology and process optimization. Integrated operations of separate container can lead to reduced vessel waiting time, balanced utilization across terminals, and increased overall profits. The owners of containers should improve capacity utilization of their containers and they must build dense packs outside of the confines of a container and load/unload in a single shot and use machinery with smart technology to load as closely to the container walls as possible and also use optimization techniques. Besides, the owners of containers should charge rationally for their services on par with market and they must avoid extra or additional cost for maintaining their competitiveness and margins in profit. The owner of containers should concentrate on networking that has to be executed immediately and it will help to balance demand and supply and allocate various tasks to employees in the cost effective ways. The vessel capacity must be increased or fully utilized by means of switching to floor loading and packing containers without pallets. Furthermore, the owners of containers must effectively collaborate with supply chain partners that will improve their business operations.
