Fiscal sustainability refers to the maintenance of public finances within an affordable and serviceable limit by rationalising debt and deficits within tolerable limits. India, since the time of independence has been taking assistance of debt and deficits to meet its shortages in revenue for the purpose of development and growth. For quite a long time, the concept of fiscal prudence was not given due importance of its role in ensuring long-term sustainable growth. It was only after the major economic crisis of 1990s, that several reforms were initiated targeting at longer duration targets. As a part of series of these reforms, FRBM Act was implemented in 2003 to keep a check on the fiscal indicators of the country especially the revenue deficit, fiscal deficit and debt-GDP ratio to contain the situation of growing fiscal indiscipline. The act was implemented both at the Centre and State level. It has almost been a decade and a half since its implementation. In the course of this duration, some states focused more on the growth parameters while other states focused more on the fiscal sustainability which in turn will initiate growth according to the ideology behind it. The present study specifically makes an analysis of the policies adopted by the state of Uttar Pradesh to establish fiscal sustainability. An investigation has been done to evaluate whether fiscal sustainability measures have adversely affected the growth of the state? The study concludes that although Uttar Pradesh is the most populous and one of the largest state, area wise, it could not create an investment atmosphere for investors due to lack of infrastructure and other facilities because of its focus on fiscal sustainability. KEYWORDS: Fiscal Sustainability, FRBM Act, debt-GSDP ratio, fiscal deficit, interest payments.

Abies pindrow species is facing a problem of natural regeneration and the absence of adequate regeneration in Indian fir forests has drawn the attention of forest officers, researchers and scientists for a long time. The present study was undertaken in the state of Uttarakhand where four sites bearing A. pindrow forests were selected. The study was conducted to compare the seeds of the four sites to draw relevant conclusions. Two sites Mundali and Deoban fall under Chakrata forest division and Bhukki and Dharali sites fall under Uttarkashi forest division. The aim of the study was to determine variation in germination of seeds of A. pindrow collected from four locations in the state of Uttarakhand. A significant variation was observed in seed germination (germination percent, mean germination time, peak value, germination energy, germination value, germination speed) and seed growth parameters (seedlength, seed width and seed thickness). The seed source of Dharali site was found as the best source followed by Deoban in comparison to other two sites. Dharali site showed highest germination percentage (25%), highest germination value (2.664) and highest germination energy (25.00) from its seed source, thereby concluding to be the best seed source site. The viable and healthy seed source can be considered to be most fruitful in propagation and regeneration techniques.

Beside the dominance of Belgrade in regional development of Serbia and marginal role of medium sized cities, macroregional centers were for a long time important carriers of economic development and a driving force of the overall prosperity. The objective of this work is to indicate the role of macroregional centers in the regional development of Serbia through their analysis and comparison of the results with the average values on the state level. Their existence represents a precondition for decentralization of Serbia. .

The article defines the features of the process of forming the research tradition of studying the institute of parliamentarism as a mechanism for the formation of democracy. It is established that parliamentarism acts as one of the varieties of the regime of functioning of the state, to which the independence of the representative body from the people is inherent, its actual primacy in the state mechanism, the division of functions between the legislative and executive branches of government, the responsibility and accountability of the government to the parliament. It is justified that, in addition to the regime that fully meets the stated requirements of classical parliamentarism, there are regimes that can be characterized as limited parliamentary regimes. The conclusions point out that parliamentarism does not necessarily lead to a democracy regime. At the first stage of development of statehood, it functions for a long time in the absence of many attributes of democracy, but at the present stage, without parliamentarism, democracy will be substantially limited. Modern researchers of parliamentarism recognize that this institution is undergoing changes with the development of the processes of democracy and democratization. This is what produces different approaches to its definition. However, most scientists under classical parliamentarianism understand such a system, which is based on the balance of power. This approach seeks to justify limiting the rights of parliament and strengthening executive power. Keywords: Parliamentarism, research strategy, theory of parliamentarism, types of parliamentarism
