Jute industry is situating in the eastern part of India. Major part subgrouping is highly localized in the West Bengal side and lies mainly in the region adjacent to the Hooghly River.
Raw Materials Location:
Raw jute is in ample measure in Alluvial plains of Ganga-Brahmaputra Delta in West Bengal, Bihar and Assam. This assists in reducing transport costs since most of these sources of raw material lie close by.
Plentiful Supply of Water:
There is enough water availability as the Hooghly River is supplemented by numbers of branches. At several stages of the raw jute processing like soaking, retting and washing, water is the raw material that is used mainly.
Cheap Labor
The location has abundant population that is cheap and skilled especially in sectors like the jute processing and weaving.
Developed Infrastructure
The availability of an extensive railway, road, and water transport system augments the transportation of raw material, finished products, and to and fro movement of personnel.
Established Market:
Kolkata, in specific has good developed harbour frontage hence a conducive location for export of the jute goods to the world market.
Challenges Faced by the Jute Industry in India:
Competition from Synthetic Substitutes:
Some of the raw material which are produced using jute are being challenged by synthetic substitutes such polypropylene and polyethylene on the basis of cost and what seem to be superior strength.
Declining Demand:
Originally the raw material was used for the production of jute bags and sacks; however, synthetic packaging material has eaten into the market share tremendously.
Technological Upgradation:
Majority of the jute mills situated in India today are technologically worn out and also, reveal low levels of production. Further, improved quality of the products to be produced by incorporating this concept in the argosy manufacturing company will be enhanced while at the same time facing higher production costs. The existence of modern machines and technology indicates that competitiveness to increase would mean upgrading.
Environmental Problem:
Hence the bulk of the pollution can be attributed to water pollution because of retting in jute processing, the necessity is then to adopt methods that are eco-friendly and introduce effective measures concerning pollution control. Diversification is not Enough:
Focused only on a few products, like a jute bag, it stands as a limitation for the trade, and the focus should be laid on new ones like geotextile, jute composites, and jute handicrafts.
Labor Problems
Low wages owing to extremely poor working condition and lack of basic social securities are the major issues faced by the industry with reference to laborers.

Gender Budgeting in India: A tool for womans empowerment
Gender budgeting is an analytical instrument that guarantees the autonomy of gendered money resources in public sector financing. There is prioritizing of the budgets provided by governments based on the gender differences that come with particular budgets, and then the resources are provided to negate the affected gender differences.
Requirements for Effective Gender Budgeting:
1. Gender-Sensitive Budgeting: This consists in identifying of the quantitative sex needs and then distribution of the characteristics accordingly.
2. Data Disaggregation: Aggregating the data by sex, and comprehending gender differences.
3. Capacity Building: Implementing Gender Budgeting principles and Techniques for Head of Civil Service Trainers and other government officials.
4. Institutional Mechanisms: Implementation of a process similar to or known as the establishment of gender budgeting cells or units in each and every governmental department.
5. Public Awareness: Informing the public on the existence of gender budgeting and the reason for implementing this process.
6. Monitoring and Evaluation: Conducted Periodic Reviews of the contextualization and general application of gendering budgeting measures.
Status of Gender Budgeting in India:
India too has gone some way in the direction of gender budgeting. Significant developments are:
-Institutionalization: The gender budgeting cells have been created in ministries and departments.
-Data Collection and Analysis: An attempt is being made to compile and study gender-break down data.
-Policy Integration: Several of the government policies and programs are adopting gender budgeting factors and policies.
-Public Awareness: Awareness can be initiated trough organizational and educational campaigns, where workshops are being carried out for the population.
But a lot still has to be done to ensure that gender budgeting is optimally realised in India. These are:
-Adequate Data: Absence of data about concrete requirements and consequencies of gender.
See less-Capacity Constraints: Lack of capacity within government departments render the gender budgetary instruments ineffectual.
-Political Will: The female budgeting exercise is most effective when there is long-term political support.

It is a well-done evidence that shows the prevalence and distribution of leading causes of mortality and morbidity are dissimilar mainly due to socioeconomic, health care provisions, life way of residents, and infectious status.
Some of the main causes are as follows:
Globally
-Non-communicable diseases: Others include arthritis and lung disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, immuno-deficecy and obesity.. They have of late been emerging as the major causes of death and physical disability in most parts of the globe.
-Communicable diseases: This comprises HIV/AIDS; tuberculosis; and malaria, which is among the main leading causes of mortality and morbidity, especially in LMICs.
-Injuries: These are leading killer diseases and disability and are preventable, that include road traffic crashes, falls and other unintentional injuries to children and adolescents.
In Developed Countries:
-Non-communicable diseases: These are the four leading PRS of morbidity and mortality which are heart diseases, cancer, strokes, and chronic respiratory diseases.
-Mental health disorders: These diseases include depression and anxiety and are on the rise contributing to high disability.
In Developing Countries:
-Communicable diseases: Diseases, both infectious and parasitic, malnutrition and those causing disability are responsible for most deaths and the overall morbidity, most affecting children.
-Maternal and child mortality: Pregnancy and child-bearing complications, and perinatal and infant mortality, continue to be an issue.
-HIV/AIDS: Some zones still present important problems related with the HIV/AIDS.
-Malnutrition: Undernutrition is another common problem combined with micronutrient deficiencies, which cause a range of diseases.
Of course these are trends, and it should be understood that in and between nations the specific leading causes of deaths and diseases are different. In addition, the shifting details of demands for promising diseases such as climate change and antimicrobial resistance are becoming heavier.

Age Structure and Fertility Rates: Managing Demographic Change in Developing Nations
Of all the demography characteristics, age and fertility influencing population development in developing nations are crucial factors.
Age Structure:
Youth Bulge: They are a resource that if given a large population of young people can cause fast overpopulation therefore a lot of demands on the available resources and development infrastructure.
-Aging Population: Few births you have correspond with higher level of dependency of the aged as people age thus implying a higher number of the aged and those who will be being supported by working population.
Demographic Dividend: The time when a majority of the population is in the working population. In such a case economic growth and development is possible if there is investment in education, health and employment.
Fertility Rates:
High Fertility Rates: Problem of providing basic needs such education, health and employment in areas of rapid population growth due to high fertility rates will arise.
One could slow the rate of growth of the population and leave it in its old age. It has advantages and disadvantages – on one hand less resources are being used, on the other hand – economic issues may arise.
It is influenced by fertility rate meaning it is associated with several effects that a country can go through on the social, economic and environmental front. For instance, high fertility population that happens within the youthful population may find it difficult to facilitate education and health facility while the aged people require much investment on the social security and health services.
