Farm debt waivers have been introduced in India, from time to time, to provide relief to the indebted farmers. The chapter focuses on the viability of farm debt waiver in India—whether it serves as an ephemeral palliative (a temporary reassuring measure) or an enduring risk management tool (a permanent remedy to build resilience against a longstanding debt crisis)—for farmers by employing situation, actor, process, learning, action, performance (SAP-LAP) framework. Loan waivers occasionally appear as a quick fix to alleviate farmers' misery. They trigger moral hazard as the farmers make no attempts to repay the loans themselves with the expectation that an imminent waiver from the government would clear their debts, thus ruining the credit culture of the country. From a policy viewpoint, it is imperative to make agriculture sustainable by lessening inefficiencies, augmenting income, moderating costs, and affording protection through premeditated and well-defined insurance schemes.

The ability of the derivatives market to function as a risk management tool for risk avoiders has resulted in the popularity of the derivative products and, therefore, volatile underlying assets have recorded high trading volumes in the derivative market. A cautious approach was employed by market regulators and the government in the introduction of derivative products, and concerns about extreme market movements and manipulations are addressed as and when such events are detected. Derivatives markets are expected to bring in increased investments to the economic sector in the long run by boosting the confidence of market participants and catering to their risk management needs. Because derivatives markets are expected to provide investors higher overall returns, they are expected to foster the saving habit of market participants and bring about economic growth. Handling innovative products in the market calls for a very secure, dynamic, and sustainable framework of regulatory authorities. When the history of Indian derivative markets is considered, it is seen that The regulatory framework for the derivative trading is as effective as, during the post-global financial crisis period, the recovery of the Indian markets was commendable. The present study undertakes an analysis of the regulatory framework for the derivatives market in the Indian scenario with special reference to single stock futures.

The quest to improve the government service delivery is becoming an important agenda for most governments. The introduction oflCT in the public sector especially E-Government initiatives opens up a new chapter in the government administration throughout the world. Governments have deployed ICT to serve their citizens in an efficient and effective manner. This paper presents an empirical investigation of Malaysian government's e-Procurement initiative (locally known as e-Perolehan). The aim of the paper is to examine factors that influence the current and future use of the system within the supplier community. These factors are grouped in three perspectives, (i) organizational perspective; (ii) technological perspective; and (Hi) environmental perspective. The general consensus amongst both the buyer and seller communities is that e-procurement will become an important management tool to enhance the performance of supply chain especially in the public sector. However, before this occurs, the findings suggest that several issues must be addressed by the relevant authorities in light of the three perspectives as mentioned above, to improve the procurement process at the federal government level.
