It is very natural and expected that any professional in any area of specialisation gets some sudden doubt or needs clarification on any issue. More particularly in the area of legal compliance or even while seeking or providing clarification to anyone, including colleagues and superiors. We continue to live in an era of the plethora of labour legislations, that too varied interpretations under judicial pronouncements. And many times, we need fast and quick inputs. And it is our experience that when we get or know the clarifying answer assertively, most problems get solved in a matter of seconds. Whenever I conduct sessions on Labour Laws, I conclude with a set of objective tests to evaluate and or to further clarify the doubts which have shown positive indications. In teaching in Management Schools, MBA, MSW, and Law, the faculty must be equipped with precise answers and even administering tests and evaluations. Now, all of us are aware of the upcoming new Four Labour Codes. Many of us, start asking ourselves, what are the answers in the Four Labour Codes and a comparative clarification? Keeping these in view, I conceived an idea and, after a thought-provoking process, to compile all possible questions and precise answers in respect of all labour legislations as also under the four Labour Codes. I am sure this would help everyone to get a comparative answer and/or clarifications simultaneously. I have been to compile around 600 questions covering 22 labour legislations, including “Management of Discipline “. The answers cover under present labour legislations as well as under Four Labour Codes. I have tried to substantiate the answers based on judicial views/judgements wherever possible. I am sure this book – FAQs & ANSWERS covering the Labour Legislations, will be a handy reckoner, a handbook to the HR Fraternity, Faculty and Students of management schools, MBA, MSW & Law.

The “Leaders Talk” is diversified with HR, Legal, and Mental Health Professionals. Each interview is well articulated with professional expertise and intuitions. Answers by the leaders to common questions are fascinating and offer a unique insight into the personality of leaders. Some of the questions are thought-provoking, inspiring, and motivating. These answers will be eye-openers for young readers and will help them aspire the leadership positions with passion. The interesting fact is that the questions are in the areas of personality, leadership styles, human resources, industrial relations, motivational factors, legal aspects, health aspects, and many more. This makes this book a striking masterpiece. I appreciate all the leaders for taking their time and helping the interviewers for this work. This book is distinctive as it will serve as a mentor, coach, guide, friend, and self-reflector. Readers can connect themselves with the thoughts expressed by the marvelous leaders in this book. Leadership is not just an act; It is a responsibility with accountability. Thus, shaping the leadership persona is not a day’s act or skill gained from attending a few training programs. It is a result of true penance. This book will introduce all those achievers with whom you can structure the leadership path.

The Loves Loved & The Lives Lived is a gutting account of Anant’s coming to terms with Anshika’s death and coming into his own as a man of honour. An honest and detailed account of grief over time, studded with moments of hope, beauty, and clear-eyed observations of many flavours of life suffuse this story of love, loss, growth, and man-woman relationship with a conscious frankness. The author challenges the status quo and yet upholds the sanctity of religion, spirituality, dignity, and Indian values with a progressive outlook. The book takes the measure of the complex bond of love that recovers and transmutes the past into something livable, with verve and honesty. The author’s ability to convey Anshika’s last words she did not love Anant anymore was actually an act of the truest love that leaves the most indelible impression. The Loves Loved & The Lives Lived is a good read for a very good reason: poignant, blisteringly honest, generously vulnerable, and the way Anant pulls himself out of the brink of despair and finds a way through the lifelong project of processing grief gives the book a piercing emotional clarity. - Mishmi Rao

The book traces the history of forestry since the middle of the 19th century in the erstwhile territorial units that constitute the present state of Karnataka, in India. It provides glimpses of the forest policy and management of the British Indian government which had laid the foundations of scientific forestry in the Indian subcontinent. A chronological account of the development of national forest policies, plans, and strategies in post-independent India has also been given in the context of their impact on forest management in the states. The book dwells comprehensively on multifarious aspects of forestry including the challenges faced by a forester in a situation of increasing demand and shrinking forest. It highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the forest administration and recommends strategies to protect the remaining natural forest and to increase the tree cover everywhere to effectively confront the specter of environmental catastrophes facing the planet earth. The book has brought out the inseparable and intrinsic relationship of mutual interdependence between forest and water – two of the most important natural resources on which the future of mankind depends, and calls for urgent action. With detailed data, analysis, and inferences derived with an open mind, the book forms a reference document for the present and future foresters. Problems of the forestry sector in the developing world are similar. Although the book focuses on the forestry scenario in Karnataka, lessons learned and strategies recommended for forest conservation are relevant across a larger landscape, with similar challenges and problems.
