Name : Carbon Neutrality with Sustainable Supply Chain Project Management Framework for Affordable Access to Natural Gas in India
Author : Asim Prasad, Anita Kumar, Niti Nandini Chatnani
Abstract :
The Indian government has set a target of increasing the proportion of natural gas (NG) in India's primary energy consumption mix from 6% to 15% by 2030 in order to transition to a gas-based economy for climate change management, which is a step toward carbon neutrality by 2070. However, schedule and cost overruns in Natural Gas Supply Chain (NGSC) network projects and several taxes on NG hinder its accessibility at a reasonable price. These undermine India's progressive energy strategy and SDG 7 goals for universal access to clean, modern energy affordable access. This article proposes a Sustainable Supply Chain Project Management Framework (SSCPMF) for overcoming obstacles in Natural Gas Supply Chain (NGSC) network projects, as traditional project management (PM) models are unable to resolve complex, sensitive issues that contribute to time and cost overruns. In addition, the mediating role of tax reforms in accelerating India's shift to a gas-based economy is also examined.

Name : Employment Opportunities and Skill Development under Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan
Author : Dr. Abhishek Chowdhary, Amit Kumar, Dr. Satya Prakash Pandey
Abstract :
Modern technology is growing at a breakneck pace, with new advancements arriving on a daily basis and altering established work practices. Due to constant process innovation and development, businesses have had to change and adopt new business models, creating a skill gap in which employees' talents do not match the skills expected by employers. On this ground, this paper traces the various programmes under Self-reliant India (Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan) initiative launched on 12 May 2020 by the prime minister. The study utilized exploratory data analysis (EDA) to examine the effects of the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan on skill development, per capita income, and employment rates as event analysis was unreliable due to a lack of data before and after 2020. The study's findings showed that Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan helped increase skill development, per capita income, and employment rates. The effect was noticeable even after the initial shock of the COVID-19 outbreak. The study recommends that the only option for the Indian young to stay relevant in the ever-changing business landscape is for them to re-skill and up-skill. Many industries are seeing an increase in the need for trained workers. Our young workforce can transform present challenges into opportunities and become strong pillars of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat.'
