2. There might exist a plethora of literature on the subject of Corporate Governance, it has been
often seen that Indian corporate houses often follow the codes on corporate governance in
letter but not in sprit. The conversation will be incomplete without discussing the role of
regulators in India. While the Listing Agreement is administered by the respective stock
exchanges, certain other bodies like MCA, SEBI, ICAI etc. also plays a very critical role in
implementing the governance standards. The post-1991 economic liberalization brought
about concomitant increase in governance standards as investors confidence increased and
foreign investors/institutional investors replaced banks and major project financers. Corporate
governance is often seen as a compliance-driven exercise, which means companies do the
bare minimum to stay outside the regulator’s radar. Thus, it becomes crucial for the corporate
and the stakeholders in India to understand the rationale behind corporate governance
principles, the adequate mechanism to implement the same and the loopholes in the law
which may be exploited by the companies and the appurtenant benefits which accrue to
companies that have a sound system of governance in place.

4. The fundamental objective of all the regulators governing with the Indian capital market or
the corporate sector revolves around building the investor’s confidence and maintaining it
thereafter. An educated investor is a protected investor. Thus, investor education, promotion
of the investor’s awareness and protection of their rights along with an adequate/efficient
dispute redressal mechanism has been a major concern for the regulators. Despite strict
requirements under the Companies Act 1956, SEBI Act 1992, SCRA 1956, ICDR 2009, the
Listing Agreement along with the initiatives taken Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the
investors are still not completely risk free as they face difficulties and grievances with respect
to their investment.
Discuss the position with respect to the investor’s rights under the Companies Act 1956,
SEBI Act 1992, SCRA 1956 and the Listing agreement and also talk about the efforts and
initiatives taken by them in promoting investor education and investor grievance redressal
mechanism. (Marks-10)
5. The idea of Corporate Social Responsibility although not a recent one, is most certainly a
contemporary one, with debates raging like wildfire about it. What exactly is it? Is it
necessary at all? What is its relevance? These are some of the fundamental questions which
need to be addressed. In the wake of its evolution at the international level it has left a mighty
trail indeed. From OECD to UN Global Compact to the European Union, in almost all the
civilized nations there are tell-tale evidences of the official manifestation of Corporate Social
Responsibility. As far as India is concerned the significance of CSR becomes quite prominent
as efforts in the form of Voluntary guidelines/codes by the MCA and also in the form of
Companies Bill 2011 is yet to be effective.
With respect to the above context discuss the concept, the different approaches/trend adopted
in India. In addition to that also bring to light the recent developments and the current issues
that revolve around the subject in India.

2. Operation Muradmbatswina (literary meaning ‘Drive out Trash’ in Shoan language). This in
official terms is known as ‘Operation Restore Order’, an operation launched by the
Zimbabwean Government headed by Mr. Robert Mugabe, in 2005. The ideology of the
Government behind this whole operation was to forcibly clear slums across the country. This
resulted in 2.4 million people being affected; leading to forced eviction of these people from
their only homes they knew. Thousands of families fled and took refuge in order countries.
This act of the Government had led to severe criticism from the United Nations and human
right organizations that driving out the rural and urban homeless poor was violation of human
rights. However the Government’s claim was otherwise, it stated that the operation was mere
crackdown policy on illegal housing and removal of slums nothing else.
The total population was 11.7 million persons. The per capita GDP (2001) was $ 1720 of
India. The impact of operation Murambatswina was that the percentage of people living
below poverty line in urban areas significantly decreased. The number of BPL in rural areas
also declined. Thus impact was more pronounced in urban areas. The Incidence of urban
unemployment decreased by 23% and urban illiteracy 34% in the same year.
According to Zimbabwean Government the gains of crack down drive were immense.
The cities had become beautiful. The crime rates dropped. Per capita availability of civic
amenities increased without any additional financial burden on Government. The problem of
urban housing also eased.
