Abstract
This paper, study the short-term & Long-term market reactions for internal and external events of Indian stocks during the COVID-19 pandemic. Country-specific fiscal policy measures like 20lakh Crore economic package and Reduction of bank rates by RBI has been considered as short term events and negatively affected stock returns except for realty and metal sectors. Our results suggest that the stock market react differently to the different events like for Global emergency and Lockdown announcements, etc., in India. The pandemic events greatly affected the Banking, FMCG and Healthcare industries. However, the Realty, Telecom, and Metal industries have responded little strongly to the pandemic in a positive fashion.

Abstract
India is the largest producer, consumer and exporter of turmeric in the world and its value added products play a vital role in the world trade. The study focus to the estimation of differences in costs and returns (borrower and non-borrower) of turmeric growers. Two forty samples from bhavani block under erode district were selected for the study. 120 for borrower and 120 for non-borrower was selected. The objective of the study is to assess the credit gap for crop loan availed by marginal and small farmers. Analysis udsed for the study is cost of cultivation. The results revealed that human labour occupies a major share followed by fertilizer and manure, sucker cost, interest on working capital, insecticide, irrigation charges, machine labour, animal labour and so on. Similar trend was observed in non-borrowed farms. Though the scale of finance offered by commercial banks is adequate for turmeric cultivation, a positive deviation was witnessed for efficient turmeric farmers. Hence, Government should take necessary efforts in creating custom hiring centers (CHC), it may help to reduce the labour usage and cultivation cost.

Abstract
Energy is one of the basic needs of human beings. Uninterrupted availability of energy sources therefore needs to be secured, both in the national and international domain. Electricity is becoming the first choice being environmentally benign at the users’ end. Consequently, nations and the world at large are shifting towards its mass production. Globally, the trend is to shift from non-renewable energies to renewable for the long-term survival of humanity. Being left with just 200 years of fossil fuel, it is a compulsion to do so. Another persuasive factor is the unbearable carbon dioxide emissions leading to global warming. Carbon-free cheap renewable energies
are going to drive the national economies. Being locally available they also eliminate transportation costs. Global and Indian scenarios have been laid out in time horizon of 2020-50. Examples from different continents are illustrating the economic benefits of tilting the resource-mix towards renewables. Indian perspective is crucial for the energy security of 1.38 billion population-second largest in the world. While becoming the world’s fastest-growing energy market, India is lagging in conventional Hydro Power which is the highest efficiency, strongest source of dependable environment-friendly Renewable energy.
