 Abstract

Several studies have reported a changeover to cashless transactions over the pandemic period and the changes continue to move. There is no stable ground as of now for the usage and future of cashless transactions in India. Here we report the changes that have taken place in the medium of payment for various age groups, people of different educational qualifications etc. The universe for our study was the entire population of India and the population was an odd eighty people that we surveyed. Individuals ranging from 18 years to 65 years were eligible for participation in this survey and divided into school going, diploma/degree holders, postgraduates and other professionals for the analysis of the primary data collected. According to the analysis and interpretation, the usage has increased over the pandemic time and majority of people are ready to shift to cashless mode of payment completely after the pandemic is over, thus indicating a shift and a possible stable ground shortly. The COVID-19 crisis has not only made the shift to cashless transactions an easier option but also a safer option in terms of health. The gradual move towards digital payments is likely to be stepped up. The amount of government support and encouragement will also give a boost to the shift towards cashless transactions in the country.

 Abstract

Customer satisfaction is a complex and multifaceted concept that is influenced by a wide range of factors. In order to better understand and predict customer satisfaction, researchers have studied the impact of various factors on this phenomenon. With the development of internet, people became rapidly familiar with the e-commerce concepts and tend to shop online rather than personally visiting the stores. There have been significant number of researches to identify and use these factors to maximize customer satisfaction. Understanding these factors can help researchers and practitioners better predict and influence customer satisfaction in different market contexts. One such factor is perceived price fairness. The main aim of this paper is to determine the effect of perceived price fairness on customer satisfaction which apparently has an effect on customer loyalty. Data has been collected from multiple sources of evidence, including various websites, articles & journals to provide evidence on significant impact of price perception on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty.

 Abstract

Exposure to environmental pollution is a major source of health risk throughout the world. These health risks are higher in developing countries, where poverty, less use of modern technology and weak environmental legislation combine to cause high pollution levels. Association between environmental pollution and health outcome are, however complex and often poorly characterized. Human health may be affected in many ways by an individual pollutant. Long latency times, the effects of cumulative exposures and multiple exposures to different pollutants which might act synergistically all create difficulties in unraveling associations between environmental pollution and health. About 8-9% of the illness may be due to pollution considerably more in developing countries (David Briggs 2003). Unsafe water, poor sanitation and poor hygiene are seen to be the major sources of exposure, along with indoor air pollution.

 Abstract

Academic performance, which is measured by the examination results, is one of the major goals of a school. Hoyle (1986) argued that schools are established with the aim of imparting knowledge and skills to those who go through them and behind all this is the idea of enhancing good Academic Achievement. This test was constructed on the basis of the objectives of teaching; knowledge, understanding and application, in Economics at the secondary stage. Keeping in view these objectives, the syllabus of economics portion was analyzed and thoroughly read from the economics text books of IX class prescribed by the Punjab School Education Board, used in the government school at secondary stage. Then the items were prepared from the content which students have learnt in their IX class. As Crow and Crow (1954) defined Achievement as the extent to which learner is profiting from instructions in a given area of learning.
