Sikhs were 'formed' as a clan of warriors in 16th century AD to stand up against the atrocities of the Mughal in- vaders. Today, India is a 67 year old democracy comprising 2% Sikhs in about a billion people (Singh, 1993). While there are no invaders or tyrants in contemporary times, a young Sikh boy is still brought up revering the Sikh philosophy and upholding high moral standards. In olden days, Sikh warriors kept long uncut beards and wore turbans, allowing masses to easily identify them and call for help; to induce fear amongst the invaders. This visual identity, even today is the key tenet of Sikhism. A modern day Sikh continues to retain the same sentiments and principles of Sikhism. Young turban clad Sikh boys with beards often are a center of ridicule amongst their peer group. Too young to ap- preciate the moral profoundness of their roots, growing Sikh adherents struggle to manage the social, peer pressure of being visually different and co-exist with the 'metr...

The textiles and apparel industry in India accounts for 14% of industrial production, which is 4% of GDP; employs 45 million people and accounts for nearly 11% share of the country’s total exports basket. During the year 2012-13, readymade garments accounted for almost 39% of the total exports. Apparel and cotton textiles products together contribute nearly 72% of the total textiles exports (Planning Commission, 2012-17). As one of the biggest employer of manpower in India, Indian Garment Manufacturing Firms (GMFs) cannot afford to neglect or ignore the area of Human Resources (HR) because machinery and men are vital aspects of this industry, but machinery without men is like a body without soul.

Children are the most precious resource and asset of any nation. Thus, their educational environment should be planned and designed with an utmost care. In so fastchanging world, if we really wish to assist their learning, we should certainly consider the replacement of traditional ways of teaching with the new emerging technologies including Virtual Reality (VR). It provides a rich, interactive and engaging environment to the learners. The idea of facilitating self learning and scope of improvement in learning with the help of virtual reality technology sets the foundation of this research. This paper proposes the idea and discusses the comprehensive insight into benefits of this investment for education sector of our country.

Human resource is considered as the nucleus of all development processes of the economy. HRM has been known from ages but deteriorating social conditions, increased competition and rapid technological advancement has now necessitated its rediscovery. This single endless re-source if utilized properly can do wonders in converting a start-up firm to a fully grown-up firm. By acquiring coherent human resource, enhancing their skills, stimulating them for high performance and assuring their continuous commitment and loyalty towards an organization, the organizational objectives can be best attained. The study reveals that by employing indigenous HR personnel or setting up HR department and practicing good HR activities from the very be-ginning stage of any start-up will lead to its survival and sustainability in long run.

The fashion industry has seen a major change in dynamics since 2010. There has been a decrease in mass production, an increase in the number of fashion seasons and a desire for low cost and high flexibility in quality, design and speedy delivery to the market [2]. As Amed et al. [1] mentions in his article, “more and more mainstream customers are moving into a decisive phase of digital adoption”. Consumers know exactly what they want to buy when they walk into a store and expect highest standards of customer experience and scrutinize convenience, price, quality, and newness. Without being aware of it, you have likely heard of Artificial Intelligence, be it Tesla driving for you or a chatbot, AI is becoming more and more integrated into our daily lives [11]. This paper proposes Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a tool for the online fashion retailers. It reviews the current state of Artificial Intelligence in the online fashion retail industry and presents a systematic review of using neural networks and big data in state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) applications in niches such as communication, prediction and visual recognition.

Globalization has led to a new dawn of trade where world has become a wider place for companies to trade. Organizations understand the trade skill of one country to another. It has become much easier to get in touch with other people’s cultures through a common language. Multilingualism has become a very broad phenomenon in today’ s world and has become very steady component of everyday life.
It has been observed that for the Multinational Companies to become increasingly globally competitive; there is a need to impart Multilingual Skill Training to their Employees which is imperative to enhance Communication, Productivity, Efficiencies that provide cost advantages and value returns to both.

Business environment is perpetually undergoing
changes at such a pace that organizations are bound to be
affected by this plethora of rapid technological innovations,
fluctuations in consumer demands, latest state of the art
machinery, and evolving Human Resource (HR). The responses
that this dynamic competitive environment elicits are equally
dynamic. Dependence of apparel export organisations depend on the merchandisers is fairly large and the jobs undertaken by
merchandisers are too many. To ensure that tasks are performed
in accordance with expectations, list of activities to be undertaken must be specified to each merchandiser. Indian apparel export organizations need to exploit all available resources to survive and retain their share in the global market. The apparel export
occupies a prominent place in Indian Economy and is a labour
intensive industry. The human resource environment is very
complicated with lack of experienced and trained people, lack of sources of employment and little focus on human resource
planning, performance measurement and working conditions. In addition to this, absence of appropriate measures to assess the performance and link those to overall competitiveness.

The E-commerce market in India reached a value of INR 81,525 crores (US $13.5 billion) in 2014; according to the latest report by IAMAI and IMRB International. . The online retail spending in India grew by 67% in 2013, and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of more than 50% between 2013 and 2017. The adoption of devices such as smart phones and tablets, easy availability of internet, advancement in technology has earned India a place among top 20 countries on the global forum & led to the rapid growth of E-commerce and online shopping . India has developed a huge online consumer base as depicted by the major players like Flipkart and Snapdeal. With this growth, it is expected that tons of jobs will be booming in the market in the years to come. New job opportunities are evolving every year. According to Technopak, KPMG, IAMAI study, this rapid growth in E-commerce will create employment opportunities for about 1.4 million job-seekers. The critical requirements of the e-commerce industry today are category managers, digital marketers, web designers, and people with expertise in web analytics, copywriting and content creation. The Apparel E-tailing sector lacks personnel with technical knowledge about Apparel Products since most of the personnel hired in E-commerce companies today are from IT sectors. There is a need for the new upcoming Job titles to have Apparel knowledge besides their basic knowledge.

Indian textile industry is one of the oldest and the largest industries in India. It is growing at the rate of 20% each year and it is contributing 4% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In terms of employment, it is the second largest employer, only second to agriculture, employing more than 35 million people across the nation. It has the largest pool of cheap and skilled labor. Readymade Garments account for approximately 41% of the country’s total textiles exports. There has been absence of emphasis given on HR practices in the apparel export industry. Studies of HR practices limited to the service and retail industry & insignificant studies on middle level management. Almost all theory and evidence about the relationship between HRM and performance based on the research in the United States, Europe and other developed countries and that too in parallel manufacturing industries. The objective of the study was to find the link between specific HR practices and employee performance in apparel export industry in Delhi, NCR region.

Abstract - The present study explores the non-monetary
motivational drivers in the garment workers and examining its
effect on performance of the workers. A survey was conducted on
60 garment workers from one of well known garment industry
based in Delhi NCR to collect the data. The finding of the study
indicated that there is a gap between the manager’s and worker’s
perspective regarding motivation and that non-monetary rewards
helps to increase the motivation of worker so that they can
perform better in their work place. Also if there are strong
policies for motivation, the attrition rate of good workers are
reduced.
