This book is an enriched collection of thoughts and deliberations relating to emerging and contemporary issues in commerce, environment, economics and management. The papers on education, real estate, information technology and applied management areas will be an enjoyable reading experience.  Hence, this multidimensional approach constitutes one of the uniqueness of this initiative, which is centered on “issues” and “challenges”, rather than on sectoral and administrative boundaries. The concerns for a safe and sustainable future amidst pandemic are also conveyed across this multi-dimensional approach.  The research papers aim to focus on future policy projections holistically. By design, the book deals with related applied problems across the domains of socio-economic fabric of the country and hence provides a homogenous reading experience. Each individual chapter provides a thorough synthesis and understanding of the research strand pioneered by the respective authors. The prospective reader would get a distilled version of various aspects of development thinking by a set of leading and contemporary researchers. The chapters are framed in a non-technical manner as is feasible. No academic endeavour can ever be completed without accumulating intellectual debts.
