Marginalized communities and decentralized institutions in India: an exclusion and inclusion perspective
The forces of liberalisation, privatisation, and globalisation have restructured the national economies and polities across the world. In India, the economic and decentralisation reforms through the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendment Acts have coincided. Decentralisation in general and devolution in particular has attained significance in the post-economic reforms period. The three decades.

Indian public sector banks (PSBs) have long been a fertile field for experiments in human resources (HR) management. Before the nationalisation of major commercial banks in 1969, these experiments were triggered by the unionisation of bank staff.nnSettlement of wages and service conditions of staff in 1966 through an agreement between the bank management represented by Indian Banks Association and the national-level unions of workmen was the first major experiment. For officers, such a system began in 1985. This kind of bipartite relationship continues to be followed till now.

Sleepless: discovering the power of the night self?
Who hasn't woken, sleepless, in the ticking dark? The small hours, so-called?those long minutes after midnight and before dawn can feel pinched, claustrophobic. "I must get back to sleep," you think, head grimly buried in a suddenly lumpy pillow, fears expanding as time squeezes tight.
So it was for Annabel Abbs in the aftermath of her father's death. He had died suddenly?not long after Abbs' stepfather had also passed away, in a nursing home where no visiting was possible thanks to Covid restrictions. A double bereavement in a dreadful time, and her "wild, monstrous" grief rendered her sleepless.
Yet as the long nights bore down, Abbs writes that she began to discover a strange new freedom. The darkness around became "a downy protective skin, a soft pelt in which I could lose myself." It gave me space and secrecy, silence and anonymity. And she began to interrogate how others?writers, artists, scientists, but most especially women?had entered their insomnia, made use of it, investigated it.
