• 164,000 people, mostly children under 5, died from measles in 2008 even though
effective immunization costs less than 1 US dollars and has been available for
more than 40 years.
India is the emerging leader in medical advancements with many skilled health
professionals. However the quality o f health care still remains aback. There are many
issues in the health sector o f India that need a firm upliftment and thorough review. With
the increasing population and following western culture, India is raising concerns over
the issues.
• Spread o f epidemics: There are some diseases like dengue and flu which spread
quite quickly in vast areas because o f improper sanitary conditions and lack of
preventive measures. The population living in the rural areas is too vulnerable to
such kind o f diseases which spread easily. Preventive measures should be taken to
curb the widespread o f such diseases. The primary Healthcare units which have
been established should be equipped with sufficient number o f medications to
treat bulk population if there is any endemic arising.
• Smoking: Over one million people die every year due to smoking tobacco.
Smoking causes serious diseases such as Lung cancer, Emphysema, Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD).
• HIV and AIDS: India ranks number four in the world with the number o f people
suffering from AIDS. The major regions in India affected with the disease are the
southern and north eastern regions. There are various policies from the
government to check on this issue. National AIDS control organization is set up to
keep an eye on the spread o f the disease. Though the rate of infection has declined
over a period, more effective strategies has to be developed to further control the
spread o f the disease.

5.1.2 Education
Education is a lifelong process beginning at birth. Humans have a creative drive which
should be nurtured and allowed to grow in a fertile environment, whether that
Page 70
environment is at home or at school. School going becomes an empowering process for
the child and the community. The awareness o f entitlements like education and health
grows, along with a sense o f the community’s responsibility. The essence o f education is
to provide the children with a safe, secure environment, in which they can develop the
powers given them by nature, and to give them the tools they need to develop their full
potential.
A report by the Confederation o f Indian Industry (CII) and the Boston Consulting Group
(BCG) titled ‘India’s demographic dilemmas’ analyzed the looming skill gaps in the
country and the need to urgently address them. The report projects that over the next five
years, India will experience a paradox o f nearly 90 million persons joining the workforce,
but most will lack the requisite skills and the mindset for productive employment, or for
generating incomes through self-employment. The report focuses on four service sectors
— ITES, banking, retail and healthcare and suggests various measures, including
changes in human resource policies o f the public sector banks, to match skills with future
job requirements.
The challenges in addressing the skill gaps are multi-dimensional and require cooperative
efforts by all stakeholders. However, the primary responsibility for providing the
foundation for manpower development, for India’s emerging knowledge economy, must
lie with the government
Access to tertiary education remains relatively low in India. Over 550 million o f the
country’s population is currently under the age o f 25 years, but only 11% o f those in the
17-23 age-groups (compared with an average o f 23% for the world, 55% for developed
countries and 31.5% for Brazil, Russia and China) are enrolled in tertiary institutions,
Page 71
producing about 3 million graduates annually. Moreover, the Indian graduates, more than
60% o f whom are from generic, non-professional disciplines, are unsuitable for
knowledge economy work without further training. The report rightly stresses that while
the immediate need is to provide bridging training for those graduating from tertiary
institutions, a sustainable strategy must focus on strengthening the educational
foundations at the primary and secondary levels.
Support for education is an area o f special emphasis for all Tata companies, and Tata
Steel provides a wide range o f scholarships and programmes in all main operating
locations to encourage quality education, to enable the least privileged people to achieve
functional literacy, and to support deserving students financially. ITC’s initiatives are
aimed at (i) improving infrastructure in Government schools, (ii) providing
supplementary education to support children with school learning and exam preparation
and (iii) building community and parental involvement with school education so that
more children go to school and finish school.
The CSR initiatives must also aim at a long-term vision of India as a major knowledge
economy. In this connection, there is considerable merit for Indian companies to take
leadership in setting up world-class full-fledged universities, combining high quality
teaching, research and consultancy activities. In India, education is under state
jurisdiction. Therefore, companies with major presence in a state can work together with
the state government to enable such world-class institutions o f higher learning to be
established. As India struggles to raise the living standards o f the bottom half o f its
population, such institutions can incorporate vocational training institutes to offer
practical, livelihood-earning skills to these people. This can supply a ready pool o f skilled
labour to enhance the manpower resources of the state and therefore also the parent
Page 72
company. Such an institute can also train the increasing population o f people over 60
years to remain economically self-sufficient post retirement. The role o f CSR in higher
education and in mitigating the skills gap is therefore multi-facetted, with considerable
experimentation, and leaming-by-doing along the way. In the process, the affected
individuals, companies, and society at large are likely to benefit.
The desire to change the current state o f education and o f the current less-than-adequate
regard for the impact o f business on larger societies are, however, prerequisites. The
Right to Free and Compulsory Education and the role corporate sector can play in helping
to achieve was the theme o f the conference jointly organised by UNICEF, CII and
TSMG. CII along with UNICEF and TSMG plan to hold more such consultations in
different regions o f the country in 2011 to build a movement to engage the corporate
sector in taking up implementation of the Right to Education. In October 2010, UNICEF
had launched an online campaign “Awaaz Do” to initiate and promote a dialogue around
Right to Education provisions. Till date, the campaign has garnered over 125,000 sign
ups.
On investigation, it was found that majority o f the companies of sample size have
included the Education aspect as one o f the significant areas. On measurement o f
performance score, this area obtained 83.33 score that is out o f 78 companies 65
companies had disclosed this information. On measurement o f performance score, this
area is having 2nd Rank in the context o f its performance by the selected companies. It
falls in grade A.

• Through MSD's partnership with PHFI, it is changing the way that health
messages are formed and the how the disadvantaged populations receive those
messages. In order to bring diabetes and cervical cancer awareness to rural, tribal
and at risk populations, PHFI first assesses the needs and knowledge level o f the
communities by first engaging them in a community needs assessment. The
messages are then created by the target population to assure that they are custom
designed to suit their needs and match their knowledge level, while assuring that
the messages come in a form that simultaneously appeals to these populations.
PHFI then works closely with experts in the medical field to assure that the
messages contain correct health messaging.

5.1.4 Environment
The environmental problems in India are growing rapidly. The increasing economic
development and a rapidly growing population that has taken the country from 300
Page 88
million people in 1947 to more than one billion people today is putting a strain on the
environment, infrastructure, and the country’s natural resources. Major environmental
issues are forest and agricultural degradation o f land, resource depletion (water, mineral,
forest, sand, rocks etc.), environmental degradation, public health, loss o f biodiversity,
loss of resilience in ecosystems, livelihood security for the poor.
It is estimated that the country’s population will increase to about 1.26 billion by the year
2016. The projected population indicates that India will be the first most populous
country in the world and China will be ranking second in the year 2050. India having
18% o f the world's population on 2.4% o f world's total area has greatly increased the
pressure on its natural resources. Water shortages, soil exhaustion and erosion,
deforestation, air and water pollution afflicts many areas. Environmental pollution is one
o f the most serious problems facing humanity and other life forms on our planet today.
Air pollution is one of the components of environmental pollution.
The World Health Organization estimates that about two million people die prematurely
every year as a result o f air pollution, while many more suffer from breathing ailments,
heart disease, lung infections and even cancer. Fine particles or microscopic dust from
coal or wood fires and unfiltered diesel engines are rated as one o f the most lethal forms
or air pollution caused by industry, transport, household heating, cooking and ageing
coal or oil-fired power stations. There are four reasons o f air pollution are - emissions
from vehicles, thermal power plants, industries and refineries. The problem o f indoor air
pollution in rural areas and urban slums has increased. India’s environmental problems
are exacerbated by its heavy reliance on coal for power generation.
Page 89
Plastic bags, plastic thin sheets and plastic waste are also a major source o f pollution.
Pollution due to biomedical waste is likely to spread disease daigerous to life and making
atmosphere noxious to health. India produces about 3, 80,000 tonnes o f e-Waste per
annum, which includes only the waste generated out o f television sets, mobile phones and
PCs, a major chunk o f which comes from organizations. B-waste produced in India
includes over 100,000 tonnes from refrigerators, 275,000 tonnes from TVs, 56,300 tonnes
from personal computers, 4,700 tonnes from printers and 1,700 tonnes from mobile
phones. The unorganized recycling sector which fails to practice eco-friendly e-Waste
recycling methods release large amount o f toxic chemicals. The toxic gases and the large
volume o f Electronic Waste add environmental Pollution in India.
Carbon emissions have grown nine-fold ova: the past forty years. In this Industrial Age,
with the ever-expanding consumption o f hydrocarbon fuels and the resultant increase in
carbon dioxide emissions, that greenhouse gas concentration have reached levels causing
climate change. Going forward, carbon emissions are forecast to grow 3.2% per annum
until 2020.
India’s ongoing population explosion is a great challenge, which has placed great strain
on the environment. One in every seven persons on this planet 1
cent o f the world’s population and only 2.4 per cent o f its land area, there is obviously a
heavy pressure on the environment. The rapidly growing population, along with a move
toward urbanisation industrialisation has placed significant pressure on India’s
infrastructure and its natural resources and reduces the gcins o f development. The
greatest challenge before us is to limit the population growth. Population, poverty and
environment are interrelated. The nexus between poverty and
can hardly be over emphasised. This is a major issue and the biggest challenge. The
challenge o f poverty and the challenge o f environmental degradation are not two different
challenges, but two facts o f the same challenge.
Page 90
have polluted our surface water and affecting quality o f the ground water. Restoring the
water quality o f our rivers and other water bodies as lakes is ar important challenge.
Land is the basic resource providing for the needs o f the :ople. Due to soil erosion,
salinity, alkalinity, wind erosion, etc it is estimated that nearjly 100 million hectares o f
land, almost one-third o f the total area, is suffering from degra liation. Land degradation is
great challenge faced by India today. Another challenge i s to sustain and increase
agricultural growth without damaging the environment.
India is very rich in biological diversity with about 89,000 spe cies o f animals and 47,000
species o f plants. A number o f bio-geographic zones can be id entified within the country
with their respective flora and fauna lending a distinct characte:;r to each. Biodiversity has
also faced serious threat due to over exploitation and habitat destruction and it has also
become a major challenge to us. India is recognised as a counifry which is uniquely rich in
all aspects o f biodiversity, species and genetics. India is one o f the world’s mega
diversity centers. But, all the ecosystems are under pressure, Conserving the biodiversity
o f India from the on slaughters o f human activities is another e lallenge before us.

5.1.6 Safety
The key to employee productivity is to keep them motivated. Employees can remain
motivated if they feel safe and happy at their workplace. This says a lot about the
importance o f workplace safety. Workplace safety is important for the very reason of
improved productivity. It is only when the employees feel safe at work that they can
invest the fullest o f their capacities and exploits the best o f their potentials to work.
Page 102
processes. Jobs, which put the safety o f their employees at stake, should also provide the
employees with the safety costs.
Workplace safety involves training programs that are meant to teach the employees to
handle risks. Employees need to be trained to react to impending dangers, if any. They
should be trained to fight risks and deal with accidents at work in case they occur. It is
important for the management o f a company to cater to the safety needs o f its employees
through risk covers as well as training programs aimed at minimizing risk costs.
At the time o f the formation o f a company, its safety goals, safety programs, policies,
plans and procedures need to be documented. The management should ensure the health
and safety o f the employees by the means o f safety education programs. The importance
o f office safety can be promoted through the formation o f a safety committee that is
given the responsibility o f employee safety. Safety committees are helpful in increasing
employee involvement in the process.
Violence at workplace gives rise to serious issues pertaining to office safety. Acts o f
violence eclipse the atmosphere in the organization and can leave a permanent scar on the
company's image. Violence at the workplace is sure to lead to frustrated employees in
turn leading to a decline in their productivity. The management should implement strict
measures to prevent acts o f violence at work. It should implement policies that safeguard
the employees against harassment, torture or ill-treatment from other employees.
Safety is important at a workplace, also because human resources are the most important
resources o f an organization. Safety at a workplace, also known as office safety refers to
the safety o f this valuable resource o f an organization. Satisfied employees can earn for a
company what money can't buy. Human life is priceless. It cannot be made up for, by
monetary compensations. It's important for organizations to understand that human
resources are its assets.
On investigation, it was found that only some o f the companies o f sample size have
included the safety aspect as one o f the significant areas. On measurement o f
performance score, this area obtained 39.74 score that is out o f 78 companies 31

The need to provide world class infrastructure that keeps pace with 8 per cent economic
growth is clear. City roads are choked with traffic, power cuts are a fact o f life and
passengers are routinely delayed as booming air travel tests airport capacity.
Analysts say the infrastructure sector as a whole needs to grow 8 per cent a year, instead
o f 5 per cent at the moment, to meet the government's vision o f even higher growth, more
jobs and better basic living conditions for 260 million poor. Therefore there is a need to
holistic approach to look in to infrastructure from the industrial perspective to enhance
the quality o f inputs to the operations o f the company.

5.1.8 Charity
Charity is an integral part o f every community as it brings haimony by bridging the gap
between the fortunate in life and the less fortunate. The main objective o f charities is to
help the less fortunate in terms o f getting proper medical care, improving living
conditions and even assisting in the proper education o f those who can hardly manage to
get it.
A number o f charity organizations have been established in different parts o f the world
with the main goal o f helping out the economically challenged or disadvantaged people
especially in third world countries and also taking care o f the r eedy from even developed
countries. Most people do not take the time to donate to the ch irities yet a small donation
can make a very big difference in another person's life.
The most important aspect o f donating to charity is the fact thdt you will be helping out a
needy person get basic human necessities improving a ife in the process. The
organizations work with various projects at once most o f which cover medical and
environment improvement for the less fortunate. By m iking a donation to the
organizations, you will be making it possible for medical camps covering things such as
cleft lip surgeries, sight restoration missions, projects for the disabled and elderly and
artificial limb projects among other depending on the rieeds o f the community,
The organizations depend on the donations to bring the servicfs closer to the people. The
donations are what help in the hiring o f the best doctors and oither services providers who
go to the ground where the camps are offering the kinds o f sol utions the people from that
Page 112
region require. Without the donations, it would be impossible to give smiles or restore
sights and even offer proper living environment for those who do not have access to the
services.
There is nothing more visceral than cynicism, nothing more brutish than greed. These are
reflexes, common and unremarkable, o f the undeveloped spirit. But charity in its finest
sense is always an act of the creative imagination.
On investigation, it was found that some of the companies o f sample size have included

5.1.9 Quality
Aristotle once said, “Quality is not an act, it is a habit.” Quality is associated with
consistency. A client who is satisfied and happy with the first buying experience needs
and wants to be equally happy on each further occasion or even happier. The only time
when inconsistency is welcome is when quality improves. Going below the standards is
unacceptable and may take your business to ruins. Most clients who really care about
quality are willing to pay a bit more to obtain it and see ‘the extras’ as worth the
additional expense.
In large companies, quality is so important that many they have a separate quality
assurance department. This is to make sure that the company’s products and services
meet the required quality standards. These large companies give a lot of attention to
quality because they know that the quality o f the product or service that they provide
ultimately impacts their brand. The same thing is true in your case. Providing quality
products and services can set your business apart in the market teeming with low-class
products.
On investigation, it was found that few o f the companies of sample size have included the
Quality aspect as one o f the significant areas. On measurement o f performance score, this

5.1.10 Employment
Page 118
Efficiency is not just affected by the size o f the labor force and the time it takes to finish
the work. The worker’s proficiency in the job is also a vital component of the production.
If workers are skillful enough to perform the job well in a short span of time, then the
size o f the labor force can be retained or reduced. With exceptionally skilled labor
workers, the size o f the require workforce can be highly variable. Labour or employment
is a major component in business production. To be employed, a person must possess the
primary skills associated with the nature o f the production. He or she must be able to
contribute labor and expertise to the endeavor o f the company. Specified skills are
important in any employment type, especially in semiconductor employment.
Semiconductor employment is an employment type that involves companies related to
manufacturing and employees with skills acquired from professional training or tertiary
course o f education. Employees in companies run by semiconductor jobs usually have a
background in engineering, electronics and telecommunication.

5.1.11 Agriculture
Although agriculture contributes only 21% o f India’s GDP, its importance in the
country’s economic, social, and political fabric goes well beyond this indicator. The rural
areas are still home to some 72 percent o f the India’s 1.2 billion people, a large number
o f whom are poor.
The sharp rise in food grain production during India’s Green Revolution o f the 1970s
enabled the country to achieve self-sufficiency in food grains and stave off the threat of
famine. “Agriculture is the backbone o f the Indian Economy”- said Mahatma Gandhi five
decades ago. Even today, as we enter the new millennium, the situation is still the same,
with almost the entire economy being sustained by agriculture, which is the mainstay of
the villages. Not only the economy, but also every one o f us looks up to agriculture for
our sustenance too.
It is here the challenge arises considering the implementation o f the technology at various
levels in the Global community. The need o f the hour is not application o f the technology
but the adoption o f appropriate technology, which would suit the particular level o f the
global community. In India, the farming practices are too haphazard and non-scientific
and hence need some forethought before implementing any new technology. Applications
o f agricultural inputs at uniform rates across the field without due regard to in-field
variations in soil fertility and crop conditions does not yield desirable results in terms of
crop yield. Thus, the information on spatial variability in soil fertility status and crop
Page 121
conditions is a pre-requisite for adoption o f precision farming. Space technology
including global positioning system (GPS) and GIS holds good promise in deriving
information on soil attributes and crop yield, and allows monijttaring seasonally- variable
soil and crop characteristics, namely soil moisture, crop phenology, growth,
evapotranspiration, nutrient deficiency, crop disease, and weed and insect infestation,
which, in turn, help in optimizing inputs and maximizing crop
widely adopted in developed countries, the adoption o f precision farming in India is yet
to take a firm ground primarily due to its unique p atten of land holdings, poor
infrastructure, lack o f farmers’ inclination to take risk, socio-economic and demographic
conditions.
Problems of Agriculture
• Government interventions in labour, land, and credit markets: More rapid growth
of the rural non-farm sector is constrained by government interventions in factor
markets -- labour, land, and credit — and in output markets, such as the small-
scale reservation o f enterprises.
Page 122
• Deteriorating irrigation infrastructure: Public spending in irrigation is spread over
many uncompleted projects. In addition, existing infrastructure has rapidly
deteriorated as operations and maintenance is given lower priority.
• Rural poor have little access to credit: While India has a wide network of rural
finance institutions, many o f the rural poor remain excluded, due to inefficiencies
in the formal finance institutions, the weak regulatory framework, high
transaction costs, and risks associated with lending to agriculture.
Page 123
expenditures, with priority to completing schemes with the highest returns and
(iv) allocating sufficient resources for operations and maintenance for the
sustainability o f investments.
Strengthening rural non-farm sector growth: Rising incomes are fuelling demand
for higher-value fresh and processed agricultural products in domestic markets
and globally, which open new opportunities for agricultural diversification to
higher value products (e.g. horticulture, livestock), agro-processing and related
services. The government needs to shift its role from direct intervention and
overregulation to creating the enabling environment for private sector
participation and competition for agribusiness and more broadly, the rural non
farm sector growth. Improving the rural investment climate includes removing
trade controls, rationalizing labor regulations and the tax regime (i.e. adoption of
the value added tax system), and improving access to credit and key infrastructure
(e.g. roads, electricity, ports, markets).
Improving access to land: States can build on the growing consensus to reform
land policy, particularly land tenancy policy and land administration system.
States that do not have tenancy restrictions can provide useful lessons in this
regard
Improving access to rural finance: It would require improving the performance of
regional rural banks and rural credit cooperatives by enhancing regulatory
oversight, removing government control and ownership, and strengthening the
legal framework for loan recovery and the use o f land as collateral. It would also
involve creating an enabling environment for the development o f micro-finance
institutions in rural areas.
Page 124
and sustainable natural resource management. Direct support to self-help groups,
village committees, user’s associations, savings and loans groups and others can
provide the initial ’push’ to move organizations to higher level and access to new
economic opportunities. Moreover, social mobilization and particularly the
empowerment o f women’s groups, through increased capacity for collective
action will provide communities with greater "voice" and bargaining power in
dealing with the private sector, markets and financial services.
As decentralization efforts are pursued and local governments are given more
prominence in the basic service delivery, the establishment of accountability
mechanisms becomes critical. Local governments’ capacity to identify local
priorities through participatory budgeting and planning needs to be strengthened.
This, in turn, would improve the rural investment climate, facilitating the
involvement o f the private sector, creating employment opportunities and linkages
between farm and non-form sectors.

• Working alongside local NGOs and communities, Coca Cola India has been
installing rooftop rainwater harvesting projects at all o f its bottling plants in India
besides other communities and has also has been installing checkdams, recharge
shafts etc in rural areas.
• Also in Rajasthan, in its many arid open areas, Coca Cola has undertaken the
construction o f more than 100 Recharge Shafts where rainwater collects but does
not percolate into the ground due to the nature of the soil. Today, nearly 15,000
villagers are reaping the benefits o f a steady or increasing water table without
having the need to further deepen their existing bore wells. With a capacity to
harvest 1080 Kilo liters (1080000 litres) o f rain water per annum, this Check Dam
with a catchment area o f 2 Sq Km will benefit 3000 people in the villages around.
The system helps in recharging (improving water levels) o f 30 bore wells around
the check dam area.
• Agriculture till now continues to be the dominant occupation in the rural areas.
The agricultural produce travels from farm to fork and in between this process
there exist at least 9 levels o f middlemen, depending on temporal and
geographical factors. Tata Teleservices focuses on FISH - Intelligent Navigation
Gear -FISHING which application has been designed especially for the fisher

information pertaining to concentration o f fish in the sea. They put their lives at
risk to earn their livelihood and were not sure o f getting the catch. Apart from the

Art is such a simple term but it is difficult to define. To a child, art is drawing and
coloring. For celebrities, art is acting and entertaining. For designers, art is trend and
fashion. The definition of art can be very objective. Different sectors have their own
definition of art. They have various standards too. For a mother, the drawings o f her
children are works o f art. For museums, art is the genuine creation o f a significant artist
in the past. Just like its definition, its significance also varies. There are various forms of
art today, and each is important to the artist involved. A good example is a musician.
Music is a good example of art. That is why singers are called artists. For a songwriter,
each song has a story that he wants the people to hear. For most writers, this is very
personal.
For various artists, art is way o f expressing themselves. You may have seen an abstract
oil painting, although you cannot recognize the patterns and strokes of the artists, it is
very important for the painter. For him, it represents his emotion and his character. It can
symbolize his anger and frustration. However, it can also represent his love and
compassion. Anyone who sees it can also use it to represent how they feel. Strokes and
colors can evoke certain emotions from other people. This is why most people want to
buy pieces o f artwork. For others, it represents their dreams. The television today has
produced several competitions that opened the doors for various dreamers. There are
dancers across the country who lined up to audition because all their life they wanted to
dance in front o f an audience who appreciates what they can do. Many have gone to
school to enhance their skills so that they can be among the best dancers in the world.
Like music, dancing is a form o f art that can evoke various feelings. Aside from love,
dances can also evoke sensuality, excitement, ftm, passion, anger, and happiness. Art here
is more than entertainment and talent. It is more o f touching people's life through their
moves and choreography.
Page 129
Today, art also symbolizes comfort. One can see art in many beautiful and comfortable
homes. Interior designers are also artists in many ways. They match things to provide a
wonderful space for their client. Seeing the overwhelming reactions of their clients gives
them satisfaction.

aired on a popular FM radio channel in Mumbai, Delhi and three stations in
Kerala. Lilly India supported street plays in slum communities and schools in
various parts o f New Delhi. A considerable proportion o f floating population o f
migrants and workers lives in the slums o f Delhi in poor and unsanitary
conditions. The plays were performed by girls and boys with a minimal use o f

5.1.13 Sports
Sports are essential not only for the physical fitness and growth o f a child, but also for his
mental growth. The importance o f sports in education can be gauged by the way it helps
in inculcating values such as dedication, discipline and responsibility in children, at the
same time teaching them many relevant life lessons. Even for adults, playing sports such
as tennis or golf or the various extreme sports, has its own set o f advantages. Sports such
as football or baseball involve lots o f physical activities. Sports and exercises help in
strengthening and toning the muscles and bones in the body. In short, the importance and
benefit of sports for kids is that it keeps them in an excellent shape. When children or
Page 131
adults plays team sports, be it cricket or hockey, they learn to work in groups. They learn
that if the team wins, they win and if the team loses, they lose. This way they learn how
to work in groups. Thus, the importance o f sports for kids is that they understand what
team spirit is and thus, when they grow and actually start working, it will help them
immensely in building relationships with their co-workers, and also to work in harmony
with others. Sports makes people mentally strong. Success and failure are both parts of
sports as well as life. A sportsman knows that there will be times when he will win
matches, there will also be times when he will lose them. A sportsperson knows how to
handle defeat and thus, treats success and failure equally. This is an important life lesson
too, which sports can teach a person. Besides this, another importance o f sports for
children or for adults is that it teaches them how to handle competition, and be fearless
when facing the adversaries.
Children and adolescents ooze with physical energy. When they are involved in sports,
their physical energies are used up in a constructive way. Teenage is such an
impressionable age, if adolescents are given free time they might get involved in wrong
activities or may fall in bad company or may also display anti-social behavior. Thus, the
importance o f sports in society is that it keeps adolescents from becoming anti-social
elements, which might otherwise disturb the delicate fabric o f society.
Regularly indulging in sports helps in keeping the immune system strong and hence,
prevents any kind o f disease from occurring. It also increases the appetite of the person.
Thus, sports promote good health. Sports inculcate self-confidence in a person. When a
child or a person excels in a particular sports, he becomes very self-confident. Sports
inculcate discipline, dedication and responsibility in a person, which he is able to apply in
other areas of life as well. This makes him achieve success in every sphere of life, thus,
making him even more confident.
In sports, a person has to make quick decisions depending upon the situation that he is in.
Thus, a person who is involved in sports is able to make wise and quick decisions in other
areas o f life as well.

5.1.14 Beauty
Page 134
culture. An "ideal beauty" is an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely
attributed to beauty in a particular culture, for perfection.
The experience o f "beauty" often involves the interpretation of some entity as being in
balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings o f attraction and emotional
well-being. Because this is a subjective experience, it is often said that "beauty is in the
eye of the beholder." There is evidence that perceptions of beauty are evolutionarily
determined, that things, aspects of people and landscapes considered beautiful are
typically found in situations likely to give enhanced survival o f the perceiving human's
genes.
Beauty presents a standard o f comparison, and it can cause resentment and dissatisfaction
when not achieved. People who do not fit the "beauty ideal" may be ostracized within
their communities. The television sitcom Ugly Betty portrays the life o f a girl faced with
hardships due to society's unwelcoming attitudes toward those they deem unattractive.
However, a person may also be targeted for harassment because o f their beauty. In
Malena, a strikingly beautiful Italian woman is forced into poverty by the women o f the
community who refuse to give her work for fear that she may "woo" their husbands. The
documentary Beauty in the Eyes o f the Beheld explores both the societal blessings and
curses of female beauty through interviews o f women considered beautiful.
Researchers have found that good looking students get higher grades from their teachers
than students with an ordinary appearance. Furthermore, attractive patients receive more
personalized care from their doctors. Studies have even shown that handsome criminals
receive lighter sentences than less attractive convicts. Studies among teens and young
adults, such as those o f psychiatrist and self-help author, Eva Ritvo, show that skin
conditions have a profound effect on social behavior and opportunity. How much money
a person earns may also be influenced by physical beauty. One study found that people
low in physical attractiveness earn 5 to 10 percent less than ordinary looking people, who
in turn earn 3 to 8 percent less than those who are considered good looking.
Discrimination against others based on their appearance is known as lookism.

men. It evolved as a result of the TTSL representatives spending a night with the
fishermen. These fishermen faced problems like lack o f weather information, no
information pertaining to concentration of fish in the sea. They put their lives at
risk to earn their livelihood and were not sure o f getting the catch. Apart from the
price the farmer can access information about the latest farming techniques and

5.3.1 Environment
The environmental problems in the foreign countries are growing rapidly. The increasing
economic development and a rapidly growing population that has taken the country from
300 million people in 1947 to more than one billion people today is putting a strain on the
environment, infrastructure, and the country’s natural resources. Major environmental
issues are forest and agricultural degradation o f land, resource depletion (water, mineral,
forest, sand, rocks etc.), environmental degradation, public health, loss o f biodiversity,
loss o f resilience in ecosystems, livelihood security for the poor.
Water shortages, soil exhaustion and erosion, deforestation, air and water pollution
afflicts many areas. Environmental pollution is one o f the most serious problems facing
humanity and other life forms on our planet today. Air pollution is one o f the components
o f environmental pollution.
The World Health Organization estimates that about two million people die prematurely
every year as a result of air pollution, while many more suffer from breathing ailments,
heart disease, lung infections and even cancer. Fine particles or microscopic dust from
coal or wood fires and unfiltered diesel engines are rated as one o f the most lethal forms
or air pollution caused by industry, transport, household heating, cooking and ageing
coal or oil-fired power stations. There are four reasons o f air pollution are - emissions
from vehicles, thermal power plants, industries and refineries. The problem o f indoor air
pollution in rural areas and urban slums has increased.
Page 250
Second component o f the environmental problem is water pollution. According to United
Nations report, Contaminated and polluted water now kills more people than all forms of
violence including wars. Fully 80 percent o f urban waste ends up in the country's rivers,
and unchecked urban growth across the country combined with poor government
oversight means the problem is only getting worse. Groundwater Quality and
Pollution is most alarming pollution hazards. Groundwater Quality and Pollution is most
alarming pollution hazards.
Plastic bags, plastic thin sheets and plastic waste is also a major source o f pollution.
Pollution due to biomedical waste is likely to spread disease dangerous to life and making
atmosphere noxious to health. Foreign countries produce about 3, 80,000 tonnes o f e-
Waste per annum, which includes only the waste generated out o f television sets, mobile
phones and PCs, a major chunk o f which comes from organizations. E-waste produced in
countries includes over 100,000 tonnes from refrigerators, 275,000 tonnes from TVs,
56,300 tonnes from personal computers, 4,700 tonnes from printers and 1,700 tonnes
from mobile phones. The un- organized recycling sector which fails to practice eco-
friendly e-Waste recycling methods release large amount o f toxic chemicals. The toxic
gases and the large volume o f Electronic Waste add environmental Pollution.
Carbon emissions have grown nine-fold over the past forty years. In this Industrial Age,
with the ever-expanding consumption of hydrocarbon fuels and the resultant increase in
carbon dioxide emissions, that greenhouse gas concentration have reached levels causing
climate change. Going forward, carbon emissions are forecast to grow 3.2% per annum
until 2020.
On investigation, it was found that majority o f the companies o f sample size have
included the environment aspect as one o f the significant areas. On measurement o f
performance score, this area obtained 74.67 score that is out o f 75 companies 56
companies had disclosed this information. On measurement o f performance score, this
area is found to be most common in most o f the selected companies and having 1st Rank
in the context o f its performance by the selected companies. It falls in grade A.

5.3.2 Charity
Charity is an integral part of every community as it brings harmony by bridging the gap
between the fortunate in life and the less fortunate. The main objective of charities is to
help the less fortunate in terms o f getting proper medical care, improving living
Page 259
conditions and even assisting in the proper education o f those who can hardly manage to
get it.
A number o f charity organizations have been established in different parts of the world
with the main goal o f helping out the economically challenged or disadvantaged people
especially in third world countries and also taking care o f the needy from even developed
countries. Most people do not take the time to donate to the charities yet a small donation
can make a very big difference in another person's life.
The most important aspect o f donating to charity is the fact that you will be helping out a
needy person get basic human necessities improving a life in the process. The
organizations work with various projects at once most o f which cover medical and
environment improvement for the less fortunate. By making a donation to the
organizations, you will be making it possible for medical camps covering things such as
cleft lip surgeries, sight restoration missions, projects for the disabled and elderly and
artificial limb projects among other depending on the needs o f the community.
The organizations depend on the donations to bring the services closer to the people. The
donations are what help in the hiring o f the best doctors and other services providers who
go to the ground where the camps are offering the kinds o f solutions the people from that
region require. Without the donations, it would be impossible to give smiles or restore
sights and even offer proper living environment for those who do not have access to the
services.

5.3.4 Safety
The key to employee productivity is to keep them motivated. Employees can remain
motivated if they feel safe and happy at their workplace. This says a lot about the
importance o f workplace safety. Workplace safety is important for the very reason of
Page 269
improved productivity. It is only when the employees feel safe at work that they can
invest the fullest o f their capacities and exploits the best o f their potentials to work.
Workplace safety involves training programs that are meant to teach the employees to
handle risks. Employees need to be trained to react to impending dangers, if any. They
should be trained to fight risks and deal with accidents at work in case they occur. It is
important for the management o f a company to cater to the safety needs of its employees
through risk covers as well as training programs aimed at minimizing risk costs.
At the time o f the formation of a company, its safety goals, safety programs, policies,
plans and procedures need to be documented. The management should ensure the health
and safety of the employees by the means o f safety education programs. The importance
o f office safety can be promoted through the formation o f a safety committee that is
given the responsibility o f employee safety. Safety committees are helpful in increasing
employee involvement in the process.
Violence at workplace gives rise to serious issues pertaining to office safety. Acts o f
violence eclipse the atmosphere in the organization and can leave a permanent scar on the
company’s image. Violence at the workplace is sure to lead to frustrated employees in
turn leading to a decline in their productivity. The management should implement strict
measures to prevent acts o f violence at work. It should implement policies that safeguard
the employees against harassment, torture or ill-treatment from other employees.
Safety is important at a workplace, also because human resources are the most important
resources o f an organization. Safety at a workplace, also known as office safety refers to
the safety o f this valuable resource of an organization. Satisfied employees can earn for a
Page 270
company what money can't buy. Human life is priceless. It cannot be made up for, by
monetary compensations. It's important for organizations to understand that human
resources are its assets.

5.3.5 Communities
There are some powerful relationship realities between various community groups and
organizations. Constituents are asking more questions; decisions are taking longer. Very
small forces, sometimes individuals, can stop very big ideas and projects. People without
credentials have enormous credibility. Corporations and institutions must prove their
validity, honesty, and trustworthiness every day. In today's environment o f public
suspicion, gaining and maintaining public consent to operate has become an on-going,
top management concern for most businesses and large organizations. Community
relationships are effectively maintained primarily through engagement with various
publics and audiences within the community and your organization.
It is often stated that community relations are "public relations at the local level" or that it
is "living right and telling about it." It has also been explained as "having and keeping
friends in the community." These statements get to the heart o f community relations, but
Page 273
they are oversimplified definitions when the vital mission o f community relations is
analyzed clearly.
Community relations are the function that evaluates public attitudes, identities the
mission o f an organization with the public interest and execute a program o f action to
earn public understanding and acceptance. Like public relations, community relations are
something an organization has whether this fact is recognized or not. Unlike public
relations, community relations are usually limited to the local area. Business
organizations give attention to their community relations for good reason. Organizations
can exist and make a profit only as long as the public allows them to exist. The concept
that American free enterprise exists only to make a profit and is responsible only to its
official family has diminished to a great degree.
It has fast given way to the realization that there is also a responsibility to the community
in which the organization is located and that it is advisable for the organization to meet
this responsibility o f its own free will. While there is not universal agreement on the
specific benefits gained, organizations conducting planned programs cite many tangible
and intangible benefits from their community relations efforts. Benefits from good
community relations do not come automatically.
In fact, many organizations that are fine employers and outstanding corporate citizens fail
to realize the rewards to which their virtues entitle them. They miss the payoff because
they fail to tell about it. Communicating to key publics the benefits derived from sound
community relations further enhances an organization's overall program. Attitude surveys
reveal that community neighbors traditionally know little about companies in their towns
and the important part each plays in the civic programs o f their towns.
It's probably because community relations activities emulate the work done by public
relations practitioners on a regular basis. Consequently, the authors probably didn't think
it necessary to break out community relations activities from the work that's done every
day.
A company does not live in a vacuum. The citizens and groups that populate its
geographic operating area are essential to its operation. The employees live in the
community; they very likely grew up there. The company banks in the community.
Page 274
Municipal, county and state governments set the parameters by which the company can
operate.
On investigation, it was found that some of the companies of sample size have included
the Communities aspect as one of the significant areas. On measurement of performance
score, this area obtained 46.67 score that is out of 75 companies 35 companies had
disclosed this information. On measurement of performance score, this area is having 5th
Rank in the context of its performance by the selected companies. It falls in grade B.

5.3.6 Training and Development
Training and development is vital part o f the human resource development. It is assuming
ever important role in wake o f the advancement o f technology which has resulted in ever
Page 277
increasing competition, rise in customer’s expectation o f quality and service and a
subsequent need to lower costs. It is also become more important globally in order to
prepare workers for new jobs. In the current write up, we will focus more on the
emerging need o f training and development, its implications upon individuals and the
employers.
Noted management author Peter Drucker said that the fastest growing industry would be
training and development as a result o f replacement o f industrial workers with knowledge
workers. In United States, for example, according to one estimate technology is de
skilling 75 % of the population. This is true for the developing nations and for those who
are on the threshold o f development. In Japan for example, with increasing number of
women joining traditionally male jobs, training is required not only to impart necessary
job skills but also for preparing them for the physically demanding jobs. They are trained
in everything from sexual harassment policies to the necessary job skills. Training is
necessary for the individual development and progress o f the employee, which motivates
him to work for a certain organisation apart from just money.
On investigation, it was found that some o f the companies o f sample size have included
the Training and Development aspect as one o f the significant areas. On measurement of
performance score, this area obtained 45.33 score that is out o f 75 companies 34

area is having 6th Rank in the context o f its performance by the selected companies. It

5.3.7 Security
Job security is one o f the most important aspects o f working life. The importance o f job
security has become more significant during the economic downturn, with layoffs, pink
slips and hiring freezes becoming everyday news. Job security is an abstract as well as
tangible variable that everyone seeks during employment with a company. Job stability
and medium to long-term job security ensures you are motivated enough to be committed
to organizational objectives and goals and reap the commensurate rewards and benefits.
On investigation, it was found that some o f the companies o f sample size have included
the Security aspect as one o f the significant areas. On measurement o f performance score,

5.3.8 Suppliers
Supplier and organization are interdependent on each other. This relationship develops
and nurture strong business ties and make both needed each other to achieve desired
goals. The ties can become stronger when both an organization and a supplier are highly
dependent on each other. The most important thing is that an organization cannot offer
customers superior service if the suppliers are not giving the organization the same.
Page 283
It is important that the organization has a high communication frequency and information
sharing with its suppliers. A good frequent contact and information sharing helps routine
issues such as product availability, order handling and delivery issues and reduce
uncertainty.
On investigation, it was found that some of the companies of sample size have included
the Suppliers aspect as one of the significant areas. On measurement of performance

5.3.9 Employment
Production efficiency is measured by the output o f the production process for a given
amount o f time. The amount o f output mostly depends on the size o f the labor force and
the skillfulness o f the laborers. If the size o f the labor force is small, the probability o f
achieving high production efficiency is also small because they won’t be able to produce
enough output in a given time. There must be enough number o f laborers to execute the
production process as efficiently as possible.
Efficiency is not just affected by the size o f the labor force and the time it takes to finish
the work. The worker’s proficiency in the job is also a vital component of the production.
If workers are skillful enough to perform the job well in a short span of time, then the
Page 286
size o f the labor force can be retained or reduced. With exceptionally skilled labor
workers, the size o f the require workforce can be highly variable. Labour or employment
is a major component in business production. To be employed, a person must possess the
primary skills associated with the nature of the production. He or she must be able to
contribute labor and expertise to the endeavor of the company. Specified skills are
important in any employment type, especially in semiconductor employment.
On investigation, it was found that very few companies o f sample size have included the
Employment aspect as one o f the significant areas. On measurement o f performance

5.3.10 Education
Education is very important among all o f us, the fact which is commonly nothing to deny
among any. It’s the education which transforms a person to live a better life and more
importantly in a socially well-being. It educates us with all the needed attributes in
leading our life in a proper lifestyle. Education does make a remarkable effect on one’s
personality. Getting educated and finally earning a professional degree prepares you to be
a part and contribute in good organizations, companies or institutions. Education is the
one which provides us the thrust in getting ahead and doing something constructive in our
near future.
Page 290
education among all people, many of the nations have already come up with their ideas in
maximizing the literacy among all. It becomes a quite challenging factor among many o f
the developing countries in spreading the awareness o f education. But, in spite o f that,
one can hear a number o f cases where almost all the people get the privilege to get
educated provided by the governing bodies, which is indeed a positive sign. On account
of the high importance o f education among everyone, steps taken by respective governing
bodies have eventually led a high literacy rate among many regions. It is on imparting
education among all by which one can learn to get civilized and leading their life in a
healthy way.
It has been an acceptable fact all throughout the world that education is the only
fundamental way by which a desired change and upliftment in the society can be taken
into effect. In order to attain such a proper society, first o f all schools need to be real
centers of learning. Although education doesn’t belong for any particular age group, it
becomes of high importance especially among children as it becomes the deciding factor
of their future. It has been observed through psychological research that a proper mindset
or favorable attitude towards life do develop in the very early stages o f child growth.
Education is the solution o f any types o f problems. It is education which promotes good
habits, values and awareness towards anything like terrorism, corruption and disease.
Technology along with mass media here' plays a good role in continuing the
communication o f education through known and unknown persons. Education is the
strength to a person. It provides us with the knowledge in determining what is good and
bad for them.
Education is not just a matter of training the mind. Training makes for efficiency, but it
does not bring about completeness. Knowledge and efficiency are necessary, which
brings up by education. Education should help us to discover lasting values;
unfortunately, the present system o f education is making us submissive, emotionless and
deeply thoughtless.
Systems, whether educational or political, are not changed without explanation; they are
transformed when there is a fundamental change in ourselves. The individual is o f first
importance, not the system; and as long as the individual does not understand the total
process o f himself, no system can bring order and peace to the world.

53.11 Quality
Aristotle once said, “Quality is not an act, it is a habit.” Quality is associated with
consistency. A client who is satisfied and happy with the first buying experience needs
and wants to be equally happy on each further occasion or even happier. The only time
when inconsistency is welcome is when quality improves. Going below the standards is
unacceptable and may take your business to ruins. Most clients who really care about
quality are willing to pay a bit more to obtain it and see ‘the extras’ as worth the
additional expense.
In large companies, quality is so important that many they have a separate quality
assurance department. This is to make sure that the company’s products and services
Page 294
meet the required quality standards. These large companies give a lot of attention to
quality because they know that the quality of the product or service that they provide
ultimately impacts their brand. The same thing is true in your case. Providing quality
products and services can set your business apart in the market teeming with low-class
products.
On investigation, it was found that few of the companies of sample size have included the
Quality aspect as one of the significant areas. On measurement of performance score, this

5.3.12 Art
Art is such a simple term but it is difficult to define. To a child, art is drawing and
coloring. For celebrities, art is acting and entertaining. For designers, art is trend and
fashion. The definition o f art can be very objective. Different sectors have their own
definition o f art. They have various standards too. For a mother, the drawings of her
children are works o f art. For museums, art is the genuine creation o f a significant artist
in the past. Just like its definition, its significance also varies. There are various forms of
art today, and each is important to the artist involved. A good example is a musician.
Music is a good example of art. That is why singers are called artists. For a songwriter,
each song has a story that he wants the people to hear. For most writers, this is very
personal.
For various artists, art is way o f expressing themselves. You may have seen an abstract
oil painting, although you cannot recognize the patterns and strokes o f the artists, it is
very important for the painter. For him, it represents his emotion and his character. It can
symbolize his anger and frustration. However, it can also represent his love and
compassion. Anyone who sees it can also use it to represent how they feel. Strokes and
colors can evoke certain emotions from other people. This is why most people want to
buy pieces o f artwork. For others, it represents their dreams. The television today has
produced several competitions that opened the doors for various dreamers. There are
dancers across the country who lined up to audition because all their life they wanted to
dance in front of an audience who appreciates what they can do. Many have gone to
school to enhance their skills so that they can be among the best dancers in the world.
Like music, dancing is a form o f art that can evoke various feelings. Aside from love,
dances can also evoke sensuality, excitement, fun, passion, anger, and happiness. Art here
is more than entertainment and talent. It is more o f touching people’s life through their
moves and choreography.
Today, art also symbolizes comfort. One can see art in many beautiful and comfortable
homes. Interior designers are also artists in many ways. They match things to provide a
wonderful space for their client. Seeing the overwhelming reactions o f their clients gives
them satisfaction.

5.3.13 Sports
Sports are essential not only for the physical fitness and growth o f a child, but also for his
mental growth. The importance of sports in education can be gauged by the way it helps
in inculcating values such as dedication, discipline and responsibility in children, at the
same time teaching them many relevant life lessons. Even for adults, playing sports such
as tennis or golf or the various extreme sports, has its own set o f advantages. Sports such
as football or baseball involve lots o f physical activities. Sports and exercises help in
strengthening and toning the muscles and bones in the body. In short, the importance and
benefit of sports for kids is that it keeps them in an excellent shape. When children or
adults plays team sports, be it cricket or hockey, they learn to work in groups. They learn
that if the team wins, they win and if the team loses, they lose. This way they learn how
to work in groups. Thus, the importance o f sports for kids is that they understand what
team spirit is and thus, when they grow and actually start working, it will help them
immensely in building relationships with their co-workers, and also to work in harmony
with others. Sports make people mentally strong. Success and failure are both parts of
sports as well as life. A sportsman knows that there will be times when he will win
matches; there will also be times when he will lose them. A sportsperson knows how to
handle defeat and thus, treats success and failure equally. This is an important life lesson
too, which sports can teach a person. Besides this, another importance o f sports for
children or for adults is that it teaches them how to handle competition, and be fearless
when facing the adversaries.
Children and adolescents ooze with physical energy. When they are involved in sports,
their physical energies are used up in a constructive way. Teenage is such an
impressionable age, if adolescents are given free time they might get involved in wrong
activities or may fall in bad company or may also display anti-social behavior. Thus, the
importance of sports in society is that it keeps adolescents from becoming anti-social
elements, which might otherwise disturb the delicate fabric o f society.
Page 300
Regularly indulging in sports helps in keeping the immune system strong and hence,
prevents any kind o f disease from occurring. It also increases the appetite of the person.
Thus, sports promote good health. Sports inculcate self-confidence in a person. When a
child or a person excels in a particular sports, he becomes very self confident. Sports
inculcate discipline, dedication and responsibility in a person, which he is able to apply in
other areas of life as well. This makes him achieve success in every sphere of life, thus,
making him even more confident.
In sports, a person has to make quick decisions depending upon the situation that he is in.
Thus, a person who is involved in sports is able to make wise and quick decisions in other
areas o f life as well.

5.3.14 Music
Art and music are basic human functions. Humankind and art cannot function without
one another. We have the burning desire to create, whatever it may be and however tiny
or grand. The interaction with sound is unavoidable, either to make it or take pleasure in
it. People have always found music significant in their lives, whether for enjoyment in
listening, the emotional response, performing, or creating. This is no different for
classical music or contemporary concert music. Both the music has immense worth for
our society; however, the problem we all know in this field is that this music is little
known and hence underappreciated.
It goes without saying that in mainstream American culture, classical or concert music is
not a huge part o f people's lives. There are still stigmas that contribute to this, as well as
the practices o f the government in the last two decades (declining music education in
schools on the local level, resistance to increased NEA funding and less visibility o f the
arts on the national level; let us hope that the Obama administration can start to reverse
these trends). Many people may still believe that classical music is for the rich, older, and
the well-educated. Others may feel awkward about going to classical music events
because they feel as if they need to act and dress a certain way in order to enter the
concert or recital hall. Even more, the pretentiousness and elitism that some artists exhibit
is amplified by some television shows, commercials, plays, books, by people of influence
and even themselves, which distance musicians from mainstream society. While some of
this is true, as with nearly any stereotype, it is not entirely true. With the impression that
concert music has on society, the majority decide that it is not "for them" simply because
they believe it has no relevance or worth to their lives. This is further compounded by the
Page 303
past government's lack o f interest in promoting and supporting the arts, whether it is to
fund arts organizations or arts education. Now, the current government give us hope and
we have seen evidence of its commitment; but most importantly our American society
needs to believe that everyone can find worth and enjoyment in classical/concert music.
The most common way one becomes involved with music is through listening or
attending a musical event. Listening at home on a CD player, or in the car, on the
computer, or on an iPod can be a very personal and fulfilling experience. Music sets a
mood and a vibe as we hear it in lounges, bars, parties, or other social events. Also,
attending a concert is unique as it offers the excitement o f hearing live musicians while
providing the sound as it is meant to be heard.
Music can also stimulate the mind. There are many things in music, to which one can
listen and bring attention. One can be mindful o f the melodies or themes, the harmony,
the driving or relaxed rhythms, the color o f the sounds, the activity o f a piece, how the
sounds are produced, or how they all relate to one another, all while, possibly figuring out
how the composer conceived the piece. Focused and attentive listening is an incredible
experience that allows one to be lost in a foreign sound world.
Concert music is the music that is not only pleasing to the ears and mind but also
nurturing for the soul. It has been long said that music gives one an emotional response.
Characters o f varying degree that are found in music, can affect one’s mood. Music can
raise someone’s mood, get them excited, or make them calm and relaxed. Music also -
and this is important - allows us to feel nearly or possibly all emotions that we experience
in our lives. The possibilities are endless.
One o f the great things about music in general, and in particular concert music, is that
playing it opens up a whole new world o f experience that further enhances the mind,
physical coordination, and expression. Music lovers, who are also amateur performers,
may choose to play in community ensembles (orchestra, band, choir), take lessons,
perform with others, compose, and nearly anything else a professional musician may do,
while maintaining their regular lives. All o f this involves intense physical coordination in
performing an instrument alone or with others, while reading musical notation, and
adding delicate or strong nuanced changes to the music that only a performer can bring.
Page 304
In general, to an amateur musician, music can provide an escape from everyday life or an
alternative means of expressing one's own capabilities. It is an important part of their
lives and fills a need or an urge to create music.
