Impact of Sanitary Measures on Exports of Fishery Products from India: The Case of Kerala
Rajasenan, D; Spencer, Henson; Mohammed, Saqib
This study provides an overview of fish and fishery products exports from India as a whole before
focusing on the fish and fishery products sector in Kerala. The food safety and other technical
requirements facing Indian exporters of fish and fishery products are then reviewed. The remainder of the
study explores experiences with food safety controls, in particular across Kerala’s major export markets,
examining the efforts made by the Indian government and the impact on the processing sector as a whole
and the preprocessing sector in particular. Finally, the remaining challenges faced by the fish and fishery
products sector in Kerala as well as India as a whole are assessed in the context of the manner in which
both the government and exporters have responded to changes in food safety and other requirements in
major export markets

From Market Concentration to Market Diversification: WTO and the Marine Products Exports from Kerala- Using ARIMA
Rajasenan, D; Parvathy, P
Marine product export does something pivotal in the fish export economy of Kerala. The post WTO period
has witnessed a strengthening of food safety and quality standards applied on food products in the
developed countries. In the case of the primary importers, like the EU, the US and Japan, market actions
will have far reaching reverberations and implications for the marine product exports from developing
nations. The article focuses on Kerala’s marine product exports that had been targeting the markets of the
EU, the US and Japan, and the concomitant shift in markets owing to the stringent stipulations under the
WTO regime. Despite the overwhelming importance of the EU in the marine product exports of the state,
the pronounced influence of irregular components on the quantity and value of marine product exports to
the EU in the post WTO period raises concern. However, the tendencies of market diversification
validated by the forecast generated for the emerging markets of the SEA, the MEA and others, to an extent,
allay the pressures on the marine product export sector of the state which had hitherto relied heavily on the
markets of the EU, the US and Japan

Gender Bias and Caste Exclusion in Engineering Admission: Inferences from the Engineering Entrance Examination in Kerala
Rajasenan, D
The major problem of the engineering entrance examination is the exclusion of certain sections of the society in social, economic, regional and gender dimensions.
This has seldom been taken for analysis towards policy correction. To lessen this problem a minor policy shift was prepared in the year 2011 with a 50–50 proportion in academic marks and entrance marks. The impact of this change is yet to be scrutinized. The data for the study is obtained from the Nodal Centre of Kerala functioning at Cochin University of Science and Technology under the National Technical Manpower Information System and also estimated from the Centralized Allotment Process. The article focuses on two aspects of exclusion based on engineering entrance examination; gender centred as well as caste-linked. Rank order spectral density and Lorenz ratio are used to cognize the exclusion and inequality in community and gender levels in various performance
scales. The article unfolds the fact that social status in society coupled with economic affordability to quality education seems to have significant influence in the performance of students in the Kerala engineering entrance examinations. But it also shows that there is wide gender disparity with respect to performance in the high ranking levels irrespective of social groups

Standard of Living and Community Perception in the Community Based Ecotourism (CBET) Sites of Kerala: An Inter Zone Analysis
Rajasenan, D; Binu, Paul P
This study is an attempt to situate the quality of life and standard of living of local communities in ecotourism
destinations inter alia their perception on forest conservation and the satisfaction level of the local community. 650
EDC/VSS members from Kerala demarcated into three zones constitute the data source. Four variables have been
considered for evaluating the quality of life of the stakeholders of ecotourism sites, which is then funneled to the
income-education spectrum for hypothesizing into the SLI framework. Zone-wise analysis of the community
members working in tourism sector shows that the community members have benefited totally from tourism
development in the region as they have got both employments as well as secured livelihood options. Most of the
quality of life-indicators of the community in the eco-tourist centres show a promising position. The community
perception does not show any negative impact on environment as well as on their local culture.
