Student-teacher ratio plays an important role in imparting education. Given below is the bar graph that represents data pertaining to this ratio in different states of our country.Student-teacher Ratio

Answer»

India is a land that has the gurukula system as a model for ideal education. The ancient system teaching was done on a one-toone basis. However, over the years things have changed and now education is commercialised to such an extent that the only rule followed by educational institutions is, ‘The more, the merrier.’ That is why a survey was conducted to study the student-teacher ratio in five states of India. In each state the survey included both private and government schools. The same number of schools was studied in each state. The survey revealed that the capital of India – Delhi – had the healthiest ratio of one teacher for 30 students (1:30). At the other extreme was Assam with 70 students for one teacher (1:70). Close on the heels of Assam was Odisha with the ratio of 1: 60. Kerala and Bihar were both at 1:40. It’s a well-known fact that unless individual attention is given, students cannot have a holistic development. So, it is the responsibility of the government to invest more on the education sector and appoint more teachers so that education becomes more meaningful and pleasurable for students.

Write the Factors affecting Dividend Decision

Answer»

1. Earnings : Companies having high and stable earning could declare high rate of dividends as dividends are paid out of current and past earnings.
2. Stability of Dividends : Companies generally follow the policy of stable dividend. The dividend per share is not altered/changed in case earnings
3. Growth Prospects : In case there are growth prospects for the company in the near future them it will retain its earning and thus, no or less dividend will be declared.
4. Cash Flow Positions: Dividends involve an outflow of cash and thus, availability of adequate cash is for most requirement for declaration of dividends.
5. Preference of Shareholders : While deciding about dividend the preference of shareholders is also taken into account. In case shareholders desire for dividend then company may go for declaring the same.
6. Taxation Policy : A company is required to pay tax on dividend declared by it. If tax on dividend is higher, company will prefer to pay less by way of dividends whereas if tax rates are lower then more dividends can be declared by the company.

8. Legal constraints : Under provisions of Companies Act, all earnings can’t be distributed and the company has to provide for various reserves. This limits the capacity of company to declare dividend.
