Land utilisation

  LAND UTILIZATION  Land is a scarce resource, whose supply is fixed for all practical purposes. At the same time, the demand for land for various competing purposes is continuously increasing with the increase in human population and economic growth.Land use pattern at any given time is determined by several factors including size of human and livestock population, the demand pattern, the technology in use, the cultural traditions, the location and capability of land, institutional factors like ownership pattern and rights scale regulation. Major Types of Land Utilization in India : As in all other countries, land in India is put to various uses. The utilization of land depends upon physical factors like topography, soil and climate as well as upon human factors such as the density of population, duration of occupation of the area,land tenure and technical levels of the people.There are spatial and temporal difference in land utilization due to the continued interplay of phys...

INDIFFERENCE CURVE

Indifference curve
Definition : Indifference curve ia a diagrammatic presentation of an indifference set of a consumer. It is a locus of all such point which show different combinations of two commodities yielding same level of satisfaction to consumer. Each point on indifference curve indicates one combination of two goods . Each combination yields the same level of satisfaction.
 
Indifference schedule 
It is a table representing the various combinations of goods which give equal satisfaction to the consumer.

Combinations.      Cups of tea      Biscuits 
            A.                          1.                  50
            B.                          2.                  38
            C.                          3.                  28
            D.                         4.                   21
            E.                          5.                  17
            F.                          6.                  15
{Note : you can plot these into graph for IC}

In this schedule, the consumer is to be purchasing combinations of tea and biscuits. Combination A tells us that he has one cup of tea and 50 biscuits ,while combination B tells us that he has two cups of tea and 38 biscuits .The consumer is indifferent between these combinations since they give him same level of satisfaction. Similar is the case with other combinations. The consumer is indifferent among these combinations .

Indifference curve
Indifference curve is a diagrammatic presentation of an indifference set of consumer. It is a locus of all such points which show different combinations of two commodities. Yielding the same level of satisfaction. Each point on the indifference curve shows one combination of two goods.
In successive combinations the amount of biscuits goes on diminishing as we move from left side of indifference curve to the right side, the increase in the quantity of cups of tea is sufficient to compensate him for loss of biscuits so that consumer is indiferent among them.

Indifference map
The set of indifference curve representing different level of satisfaction obtainable from different schedule of indifference curve is called an indifference map . It is the geometrical expression of number of indifference schedules .Higher the level of indifference Curve higher will be the satisfaction to the consumer.

Properties of indifference curve
a)Higher the indifference curve , greater will be the satisfaction to the consumer.
b)It slopes from left downward to right i.e negative slope.He must gave up some amount of commodity B to gain more amount of commodity A.
c)It can never  intersect so that only one IC can pass through any one point in the indifference map.
d)IC is convex to the origin because of diminishing marginal utility and negative slope of IC.
e)IC  need not to be parallel to each other .
f)IC curve don't touch the horizontal and vertical axis 
g)Straight IC show that two goods being shown on two axis are perfect substitutes.
hlRight angles IC shows that two goods being shown on two axis are perffect complements.

Tokenization

Tokenization  Tokenization is the process of turning sensitive data into non-sensitive data called "tokens" that can be used in a database or internal system without bringing it into scope.  •It can be used to secure sensitive data by replacing the original data with an unrelated value of the same length and format.  •The tokens are then sent to an organization’s internal systems for use, and the original data is stored in a secure token vault. •The purpose of tokenization is to swap out sensitive data—typically payment card or bank account numbers—with a randomized number in the same format but with no intrinsic value of its own. •Tokenization is the process of removing sensitive data from your business systems by replacing it with an undecipherable token and storing the original data in a secure cloud data vault.  Token will be unique for a combination of card, token requestor (i.e. the entity which accepts request from the customer for tokenisation of a card and p...

Wheat crisis

WHEAT CRISES  Introduction : •On may 4,the government lowered its wheat production for the crop year ending june.  •The production is expected to fall during warm weather condition on most part of wheat producing states of Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh,  Uttar Pradesh.  Decline in wheat production •Wheat production has seen a drop during winter. In last marketing year, the government had purchased from farmers.  •During the same time,  announcement came declaring 'unfolding war in Ukraine' which give rise ti acute food insecurity in countries . •After 5 straight years of bumper output of wheat,  unprecedented heat waves  causes substantial loss to the crop . Early summer affects the crop yields in the wheat producing states . Government procurement •A larger quantity of wheat was being bought by the traders at higher rate than the minimum support price.  •Private traders have been prompted to buy more wheat from farmers as the price of whe...

Investment Multiplier

INVESTMENT MULTIPLIER The number of times by which the increase in ∆Y exceeds the increase in investment is called as Investment Multiplier.  Investment Multiplier or output multiplier refers to the number of times by which the increase in output/income ∆Y exceeds the increase in investment ∆I. It is measures as the ratio between change in output /income and change in investment.                                      k = ∆Y / ∆I Where k is the multiplier. Relationship between Multiplier and Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) There is direct relationship between Multiplier and MPC . Higher the value of MPC ,higher the multiplier .                   K =1 / 1- MpC This is because of the given reasons : a)Additional investment means additional expenditure in the economy, additional expenditure means additional income . b) Higher the value of MPC ,...
