1 Indian Sensibility and Postmodern Sensibility: An Encounter by Dr. Mukund Shriram Bhandari Indian landscape has been perennially inspiring the Indian English novelists as well as poets. Indianness can be seen in the portrayal of realistic details about the food habits and clothes, and even hairstyles of the characters or speakers in the poem. Indian society becomes pluralistic and multicultural in the postmodern time. Modern Age sensibility is marked by a single, and unified experience. Postmodern condition and postmodern sensibility become the issues of communication. Indianness and Indian sensibility are affected drastically due to the encounter of the Indian English Poets with a postmodern sensibility. Postmodern time ushers change quicker in Indian English poetry. The Internet revolution makes it possible to connect the world poets. The Indian poet shares his postmodern thoughts on the internet with the world poets. The encounter of Indian sensibility with that of postmodern sensibility resulted in changes in Indian sensibility. Now Indian sensibility has taken the shape of postmodern sensibility. It also affects the very psyche of the Indian English poets hence, their work reflects the postmodern sensibility. As a result of this, revolutionary and uninhibited work comes out. 06-October-2020 07-December-2020/

2 Impact of Multisector Innovation and Productivity on Economic Growth - A Case Study of Saudi Arabia by Dr. Hind Alnafisah & Dr. Puja Sunil Pawar This paper examines the impact of multi-sector innovation and productivity on economic growth in Saudi Arabia. Annual time series data was employed for the period 1996 to 2018. ARIMA approach to cointegration was applied to examine the relationship between multi-sector innovation, the productivity of human capital, technology, and economic growth. Two proxies of human capital in an economy that is secondary and tertiary school enrollments were used in two models. Two variables are proxy for technology, which are a ratio of imports to the gross fixed capital formation (sources of external technology) and government expenditure on education (sources of internal technology). Theoretically, the Schumpeterian growth model is adopted with multiple sectors who innovate, i, in an economy. The results of the two estimated models showed that human capital, the graduates from tertiary school in the first model, and faculty of secondary school in the second model had a significant positive impact on economic growth. Moreover, an external source of technology and the ratio of imports to gross fixed capital formation show a positive impact on economic growth. Thus, both human capital and technology are important factors of growth in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, both improvement in the educational sector and adequate funding for education is needed to encourage innovations and to facilitate growth in Saudi Arabia. 25-November-2020 13-December-2020/

3 A Study on Changing Pattern of Rural Consumers’ Buying Behaviour by Priyadarsini Patnaik Rural markets offer vast opportunities to marketers due to the different profile of rural consumers, large and scattered rural population, and higher purchasing capacity which impact their decision-making. Over the past decade, there is a visible change witnessed in sales of branded daily needs in the rural segment. Despite farm distress and stagnant incomes, consumption of consumer goods has grown at a slower pace in rural places than in urban areas. The entry of smartphones and the massive reach of telecommunication and media have set a new standard in rural marketing which is quite challenging for marketers to meet. Today, consumption pattern in rural India is outpacing which is a positive sign for marketers, hence marketers not only need to understand the purchase process in rural markets but also they need to encourage rural people by effective communication and pricing strategy to convert their purchasing power into buying decision to improve their standard of living. Since Indian marketers as well as multina¬tionals are approaching towards the rural market, will the ‘Go rural’ slogan be the new motto of marketer’s?
The research paper is an attempt to analyze the buying pattern of rural consumers and their purchase decision. The findings can be adopted by marketers to meet the demands of new liberalized rural business development.
