The emergence of the gig economy is mostly an alternative to the core service economy, which is gradually being transformed in spatial and temporal dimensions. It is not work in the gig economy, per se, that is problematic, but the way in which it is organised or structured is creating ruptures across several dimensions. This article seeks to explore the work organisation and work relations practised in these gig economies. In particular, it provides empirical findings on work practices in e-cab services so as to highlight the growing precariousness, in both economic and social contexts, among the service providers.

Against a backdrop of economic restructuring and declining role of the state in infrastructural development and social protection, this paper seeks to address the growing significance of rural-urban linkages in the economy. In retrospect to the concept of rural-urban linkages avant la lettre, this paper depicts the need for promoting such linkages through enhanced integration among the civil society organizations and state actors. Hence, it seeks to assess the role of civil society organizations in maintaining and reinforcing rural-urban linkages in NorthEast India. Such institutional support serves as a vital strategy for regional development at macro level and rural livelihood at micro level. The thematic findings emphasize the direct and indirect contributions of these organizations towards linkages in the region. It highlights the mutual dependency among rural and urban areas, necessity of institutional support in the transforming labour market and the nature of complementary development among rural and urban market.

The advent of e-retailing has brought about colossal transformation in the realm of traditional retailing services. As a part of virtual services, the human component involved in this sector is hidden right from placing of an order till its delivery. These workers, once deemed as a segment of invisible workforce in academic debate, have lately caught attention with their growing resentment at workplace (Cherry, 2016). The purpose of this article is to understand the nature of work in delivery segment of e-retailing’s value chain that is emerging as a major blue collar job in several metro cities of India. This would help contextualize whether these kinds of jobs, being developed through advent of information technology in service economy, resembles post-industrial theory or supports critics of such theory. This has been carried out through analysis of work organization and workplace relationships in delivery services, against a backdrop of Braverman’s (1998) de-skilling thesis and Burawoy’s (1979) theory on ‘relations in production’.

Our system includes a data distributor who sends some important information to some third parties, called agents in our system. Some data gets leaked and found in an unauthorized place (e.g., on the internet or somebody's PC). The distributor must be able to detect that the data got leaked and came from one or more agents. Our system detects the guilty agent, who has leaked the data to untrusted agents. For identification of leaked data in existing system uses watermarking technique. However, it has a deficiency that watermarking data can be modified or changed. So, In proposed system another technique is used for improving  chances of detecting guilty agent is MAC (Media Access Control) address with some more prevention strategies to increase the security of the system.
