The purpose of this paper is to identify the critical success factors for Business Process Reengineering implementation of a government manufacturing unit. A questionnaire was designed and was mailed to government manufacturing units. The data extracted from the replies were used to perform the empirical analysis. Based on the results, a conceptual model was prepared. Hypotheses were developed to evaluate the impact of Critical Success Factors constructs on the overall performance of the manufacturing unit. The empirical analysis reveals that there is a substantial positive effect of the Critical Success Factors on the overall performance of the government units. Overall, the results showed that there is lack of coherency in implementing Critical Success Factorss in government units because of certain handicaps under which government agencies operate. Ironically these handicaps are practically unknown to private sector. Notwithstanding this, the government units can improve performance by adopting and adapting methodologies, some goals that have proven in private sector business. The research is subject to the normal limitations of survey research. The research can make a useful contribution to government units.

Abstract:The paper investigates and compares the performance of the Indian public sector banks (PSBs) based on revenue maximising efficiency in the deregulation period from 2001-02 to 2012-13. Several efficiency estimates viz., overall technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency of individual banks are calculated using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The empirical findings indicate the presence of managerial and scale inefficiencies in the operation of the most of the PSBs. Applying the Tobit regression analysis, the paper also assesses the impact of different environmental factors, like profitability, the level of non-performing assets, size etc. on the efficiency of PSBs. It is observed that banks with high profitability, low level of non-performing assets, and relatively larger size are more technically efficient.

Introduction: Mini-open rotator cuff repair have the advantage of less deltoid morbidity, and demonstrated clinical outcomes that have been similar to those of open repairs. The present study was conducted to evaluate the functional outcome of patients who underwent arthroscopic assisted mini-open rotator cuff repair in our department. Methodology: A prospective study was conducted in Department of Orthopaedics, BPS Government Medical College and Hospital, in which patients, aged 30 to 70 years, who had an isolated tear in the rotator cuff tendon diagnosed by clinical examination & confirmed by MRI and had cuff repair performed solely with the use of arthroscopic assisted mini-open technique were included. Shoulder function assessments were made with University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) rating scale and Short Form Health Survey questionnaire (SF-36).Results: Mean age of the 26 patients included was 47.12 ± 10.72 years. Most common mode of injury in our patient population was domestic fall, reported by 84.6% of the patients. Road side accident was reported by three patients and sports injury by one. Partial thickness tear was observed in 57.7% of the patients and rest had a full thickness tear. We found the UCLA score reduced significantly from 12.42 ± 3.7 preoperatively to 29.46 ± 3.01 at the end of 6 months. SF36 scores showed a significant improvement in all the subscales as well. Conclusions:Arthroscopic mini-open rotator cuff repair is a successful procedure for improving patients' quality of life, both physically and mentally, as measured using the SF-36.
