The Indian plastics industry made a promising beginning in 1945 and has registered a fast growth since then. The growth accelerated in the 1960s and with the liberalization of Indian economy in 1991, it has shown tremendous growth and diversification and is now the star performer along with the other fast growing industries like electronics, computers and white goods. India has been projected to be world number three in plastics consumption after the USA and Ch ina. Th is seems to be a very achievable positio n over the past decades as, the developed world has reported 3-4 per cent growth, but the Indian plastic industry has reported double digit growth each year. According to AIPMA, it is now estimated that the plastic industry in India will grow at a rate of over 15 per cent per annum for several years to come. Mu mbai, Delh i, Ko lkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Vadodara, Vapi, Kanpur, A mritsar, Co imbatore, Bongaigaon, Barauni, Mettur, Du rgapur, Pimp ri (Pune), Rishra, etc. are so me of the outstanding centres which are well known for the production of either p lastic raw materials or finished plastic goods. Records in AIPMA states that Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria, Iraq, Syria, U.K., Thailand, Sri Lanka, and a number of other countries are the regular buyers of Indian plastic goods. Currently, the Indian plastics industry is spread across the country, employing about 4 million people and over 2,000 exporters. That is why; the Govern ment has accorded it a thrust industry status. The time has come where the plastics industry has the capacity to influence the progress of all other sectors. Plastic industry is regarded as 'sunrise' industry due to its increasing versatility and burgeoning worldwide demand. No wonder we are living in the plastic age. The Govern ment has set up the Central Institute of Plastics Engineering and Technology (CIPET) at Chennai with the primary objective to develop skilled manpower and provide technical services to the plastic industry. The unprecedented growth in the use of plastics as a packing material has created a serious problem of solid waste disposal. Plastic is a non-biodegradable substance and creates problems of environmental pollution. Many advanced countries are seriously thinking of reverting back to conventional packing materials, thereby dealing big blow to this industry. However, Indian plastic industry may thrive on the recycling of the used plastic material for wh ich rag pickers can make valuable contribution. Recycling solves the problem of waste disposal, lessens the burden on raw materials, lightens the pressure on the biosphere and provides jobs to millions. It may be mentioned here that this process needs technological development and upgradation. The major challenges being faced by the entrepreneurs of the plastic industry in India are export/import related problems, insufficient government support, high competit ion, high risks, crisis in raw material market, low plastic consumption rate in India, electricity problem, moderate technological advancement, due to wh ic h most of the entrepreneurs face stress.

India has been projected to be world number three in plastics consumption after the USA and China. This seems to be a very achievable position over the past decades as, the developed world has reported three to four per cent growth, but the Indian plastic industry has reported double digit growth each year. It is now estimated that the plastic industry in India will grow at a rate of over 15 per cent per annum for several years to come. The plastic product manufacturing was quite profitable in the past years. Recently, the industry has been facing a number of problems. As this industry was profitable, many entrepreneurs has come up and set new industries. This has caused an intense competition in the sector. There is a crisis in the raw materials market. Electricity failure is affecting the industry very much. The companies are importing low price products from China, Singapore, Thailand and so on. Government help is not sufficient for this industry. Due to which majority of the entrepreneurs face stress. Entrepreneurial stress is one of the major health hazards of the modern environment. It accounts for much of the physical illness, substance abuse, and family problems experienced by millions of entrepreneurs. Also, entrepreneurial stress and stressful working conditions have been linked to low productivity, increased rates of accidents on and off the job. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), states that job stress, now more than ever, poses a threat to the health of workers – and the health of organizations. Many research studies have focused on the role of emotions in the workplace and have conceptually examined the relationship between cognition and emotions. This movement has largely been attributed to new research around the construct of Emotional Intelligence (EI). Emotional Intelligence involves behaviours related to the experience of emotion; specifically it involves expressing, recognizing, understanding and managing emotions. Thus there is a strong need for systematic research on emotional intelligence of entrepreneur's stress so as to assist them in their development and stress management.
As Richard Carlson says that, "Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness". Stress has been defined in different ways over the years. It was conceived of as pressure from the environment, then as strain within the person. The generally accepted definition today is one of interaction between the situation and the individual. It is the psychological and physical state that results when the resources of the individual are not sufficient to cope with the demands and pressures of the situation. Thus, stress is more likely in some than others and in some individuals than others. Stress can situations undermine the achievement of goals, both for individuals and for organizations. Acute responses to stress may be in the areas of feelings (anxiety, depression, irritability, fatigue), behaviour (being withdrawn, aggressive, tearful, unmotivated), thinking (difficulties of concentration and problem solving) or physical symptoms (palpitations, nausea, headaches). Stress is the way human beings react both physically and mentally to changes, events, and situations in their lives. People experience stress in different ways and for different reasons. The reaction is based on your perception of an event or situation. If you view a situation negatively, you will likely feel distressed i.e. overwhelmed, oppressed, or out of control. Distress is the more familiar form of stress. The other form, Eustress, results from a "positive" view of an event or situation, which is why it is also called "good stress." Stress is your body's response to change.

How Do Entrepreneurs’ Emotional Intelligence and Transformational Leadership Orientation Impact New Ventures’ Growth?*2012 •
Anything and everything that is not restricted to only one culture and transcends the boundaries of nations and extends through all human cultures is termed as transcultural. Feminism, the women liberation movement in literary discourses, is one such widespread phenomenon which has massive significance in all over the world. It can be argued that the pioneers of feminism were the dwellers of the west such as Virginia Woolf, Elaine Showalter and Simone de Beauvoir. However this idea of giving voice to the voiceless is later seen to be celebrated all over the world. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century there was flowering of poets in America, Africa, Canada, India and as many countries as possible, who in their poetry developed a sort of feminism which was more of a personal experience rather than a passive spectacle. Among them one such poet was Eunice Desouza, the Goan-origined poet who offers a wide range of women-centric ideas in her poetry based on her personal experiences. The kind of feminism, she deals with, is heavily inspired by western as well as Indian poets of varying cultures. Though feminism developed as a reform later it became confessional in the writings of some poets. Thus it is obvious that the confession varies from individual to individual. However there is some sense of similarity among them all. This paper shows how the poetry of Eunice Desouza is a record of a transcultural aspect of feminism inspired by poets like Sylvia Path, Emily Dickinson, and Kamala Das and many more. Keyword: Transcultural, feminism, confession, personal experience, emotions.

Akinyomi, O. J. (2013). Assessment of factors influencing costing system implementation in Nigeria. International Journal of Information, Business and Management, 5(1), 139-150.The Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry in India has been able to create tremendous employment opportunities and has offered lucrative remuneration packages, but this industry has also been in news for certain contradictory issues. While this industry is able to create tremendous employment opportunities, at the same time it is facing the problem of employee attrition and stress management. In context of research on stress management it has been found that most of the organisations tend to focus on the symptoms of stress. Many stress management programmes have also focused on the theory of stress, its symptoms and its reactions rather than attempting to forestall the reactions of stress by encouraging an awareness of emotional intelligence as a prerequisite to understand the reaction to stress. This exploratory study attempts to find out the relationship between emotional intelligence and occupational stress so as to assist managers in their development and stress management. Participants of the study were 250 employees of one of the leading outsourcing firms located at Gurgaon. Emotional Intelligence has been measured by the scale provided by Swinburne University Emotional Intelligence Test and Occupational Stress has been measured by using The Occupational Roles Questionnaire from the Occupational Stress Inventory.
