Abstract: The rural market is an area of darkness to Indian  entrepreneurs,  an area, where communication  is poor  and  the  population  poorer  because  their  operations  are  small scale  and  inadequate.   The Indian  rural  population  has  an  estimated  number  of  120 million  households,  which  is  more  than  70  percent  of  the  total  households  of  country. Even a fraction  of  the  rural  consumer is  a  big market to  generate  enough  revenues and profits for organizations. In  India  the  bottom  of  the  pyramid is  the  largest,  but  poorest  socio-economic group.  In global  terms,  this  is  the  four  billion  people  who  live  on  less  than  $2  per  day, typically  in  developing  countries  (C.K.  Prahalad 2006).  Bottom of the  pyramid  includes parties  like Private  enterprise,  civil  society  organizations  and Local  government, Development  and  aid  agencies,  BOP  consumers,  BOP  entrepreneurs.  This paper concentrates on IMC Bottom of the pyramid markets, i.e. Indian rural Markets.

 A lot of thrust is being  given to  marketing  strategies  for  rural markets, especially distribution  aspects;  little  is  being  talked  about  the  communication  strategies  required there.  Because  of  regional  disparities,  there  is  a  need  of  customized  communication strategies  for  each  region.  With a  specific  communication  tool,  it  is  very  difficult  to create  awareness  or  knowledge  in  the  minds  of  rural consumers.  There  is  a  need  of Integrating  Marketing  Communications (IMC) to  provide  clarity,  consistency  and maximum gives  insights  on a strategic  IMC  model  which is developed by  using response hierarchy  model.  This model depicts the stages  a consumer may pass  through in  moving from  a  state  of  not  being  aware  of  a  company,  product  or  brand,  to  actual  purchase behaviour.  The rural marketer  has  to  select  different  Medias  in  the  different  stages  to carry integrated marketing communication of the organization. The challenge  in  rural  markets  is  to  create  communication  that  would  help  the rural  consumer  in  recognizing  brands,  logos,  visuals  and  colours.  IMC model    in rural marketing calls  for  a  centralized  messaging  function  so  that  everything a  company  says and does communicates in rural markets have a common theme and position.

Abstract: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has grown attention over the past few decades because a company's long-term survival and growth depend on how well it benefits society. This study uses appropriate parameters to evaluate how actual CSR spending affects the firm's financial performance. For this study, three variables are considered- dependent variables are Return on Capital (ROC) & Profit after Tax (PAT) and an independent variable is Actual Corporate Social Responsibility (ACSR) spending. The results of Panel Regression (Fixed Effect Model for the First Hypothesis and Random Effect Model for the Second Hypothesis) indicate that in a mandatory CSR regime, actual CSR spending has a positive impact on current ROC and PAT. The study's results also indicate that they play a significant influence in positively impacting financial performance, even in a mandatory setting.

Abstract:- The stock market puzzle refers to the reality that many people, despite historical proof of a favourable return on investment, fail to purchase equities. However, subjective likelihood of gain assessments demonstrate that people are more pessimistic than historical results would imply. Furthermore, predictions of future stock price increases appear to be based on outdated knowledge, which appears to contradict rational expectations in the setting of efficient markets. To shed light on these seeming inconsistencies, I used a few Indian instances to demonstrate the influence of investor psychology in urban and semi-urban areas on the equities market.
