Based on the statistical analysis and on-site interviews, this paper combines to assess the effects of industrial location, industry mix, industry ownership, and environmental policies on urban pollution levels in Beijing, China. A regression model relates these variables to an index of overall environmental quality for Beijing city. Shift-share analysis is used to determine the direction of recent sectoral shifts, and interviews and anecdotal evidence provide a broader context for our conclusions. We found that industry type, ownership and size significantly affect urban pollution levels. We conclude that although local enforcement of environmental regulations in Beijing has been effective, at the national level it is still inadequate. Finally, we recommend that policies calling for a reduction in the role state-owned and certain small-scale industries be incorporated into the larger economic goals of the central government.

Indias approach to the promotion of entrepreneurial firms is unique, and to some extent, overwhelming. The country has a dedicated ministry for small scale industries at the federal level supported by several agencies at federal and state levels. Besides, numerous commercial banks, regional rural banks, urban and cooperative credit lending institutions participate in funding the micro, small, and medium enterprises. Such an effort, though seemingly superfluous, is the dire need for a country to enhance the competitiveness of entrepreneurial firms in order to unite them under an organized structure and integrate their operations into that of major global firms. Three national-level Entrepreneurship Development Institutes are engaged in skill development. This paper offers a critique of the present policy with regards to the SMEs with a prospective outlook into their future.

Zoology has numerous opportunities under its umbrella like, vermiculture, aquaculture, lac culture, animal husbasndary, sericulture, emu farming, biogas production, forensic sciences, spider silk, biocontrol agent’s rearing, butterfly farming and many more. Zoological learning and research has developed skill at local and national level. This may engage the whole family by imparting skills which will provide employment for whole village resulting in deployment of clusters and allied small scale industries. This may also inculcate nature awareness from root level of society. Thus zoological enterprises may generate sustainable employment for all.

Furthermore, this will in turn help uplift socio economic status, contribute to social and general health improvement, and lead to advancement in education and national skill development.
