Agribusiness involves the efficient transformation of agricultural raw materials into final products with proper adoption of technologies providing form utility to the products. Eventually with time agribusiness has become more industrialized, competitive and technological in nature. The main purpose of this paper is to study the adoption of technology for sustaining agro-based industries and identifying the constructs for the development of a conceptual framework. Through extensive literature search the authors first identified diverse constructs like market demand, awareness, cost, social media and others in relation to technology adoption for sustainability of agro-based industry. These constructs were further discussed in details to formulate the conceptual framework for technology adoption. Although limited to technology adoption in agribusiness sector but the originality of this study underpins framework for technology adoption in agribusiness thereby making it more sustainable.Keywords

Sugar Cooperative Factory constitutes of Industrial Relations and performance of industrial activities. The factory has led an example for all cooperatives to start a sustainable approach. The sugar factory uses the 3R of reuse, recycle and repair to sustain the sugar world. The aim of the research is to study the effect of tangible and intangible resources on the performance of the sugar factory. The study also enlightens the effect of social capital theory on performance of the sugar cooperative. The study aims to recommend suggestions for the better performance of the sugar cooperative factory. The study is based on both primary and secondary data. Primary data has been collected from the manager, officers, staffs and workers of one of the sugar factory in Satara district of Maharashtra. Kisanveer Sugar Factory was chosen for the study. 15 interviews were conducted with the stakeholders which included workers, board of directors, manager, chairman and office staff. A structured questionnaire was prepared to study the industry details. The study comes out with the importance of human resource and leadership approach for sustainable cooperative performance. The study also suggests few policy recommendations and suggestions for a better performance of sugar cooperative. The present study is an approach to develop a sustainable sugar world with better human resource management.Keywords

Indian farmers are engaged in agriculture, animal and other ancillary activities in rural areas. Rural areas are the heritage of the developing nation. With time rural sector has been facing several challenges and has become a topic of concern. This has led the government and the upcoming generation to think about the development of rural areas. The country will remain poor, if the rural are poor. With the objective to create a green and sustainable rural development study is based on both primary and secondary data. Secondary data has been collected from journals, reports and websites. Primary data has been collected from the rural people of the village. Three villages have been selected to study the realistic strategy of rural development. Two rural models Ralegaon Siddhi and Hivare Bazaar from Maharashtra has been selected as sustainable rural development models while Mahsar village from Bihar has been selected as undeveloped rural sector. The study appreciates the efforts of rural model and compares it with under developed rural village.Keywords
