Ageing is an inevitable process which begins before birth and continues throughout the life. The world health organization earmarked the theme of world health day 1999 as "Active ageing makes the difference". The Activities-specific and Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale is a questionnaire developed to measure an aspect of the psychological impact of balance impairment and/or falls. It is used to measure the perceived balancing capacity of individual doing certain functional activities. Four hundred and three elderly aged 60 years and above living an urban slum of Muzaffarnagar city were studied. Majority of them were observed having high level of confidence for activities for basic mobility as well as community mobility. This level of confidence was observed declining with increase in age irrespective of sex of elderly. Many researchers have observed decreased balance confidence followed by activity restriction that may further lead to deterioration of level of confidence to perform a particular activity. Counseling of elderly to improve their confidence will definitely help in ensuring active ageing.Keywords

In India, post economic liberalisation period starting from early 1990s opened up new vistas for rapid development of Indian stock markets accompanied by high volatility in stock exchanges. The volume of trade increased rapidly with more number of retail investors beginning to invest in equity shares of listed companies in specific industry sectors. This brought to the fore the importance of analysis of business and financial risks associated with such investment decisions. Every rational investor will do well to analyse the risk and return before investing in any stock or security. The investment process must be considered in terms of both risk and return. The present study deals with the estimation of business risk and financial risk of the selected companies in selected industries, based on empirical analysis. For the study, six industries such as Automobile, Cement, Paint, Paper, Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care(FMCG) have been selected from the Indian industries from April 1996 to March 2020. The findings of the study revealed the extent of the relationship between business and financial risk and return in specific sectors of industry in India.Keywords
