From The Editors’ Desk
SAMHITA
Dear Readers,

Greetings from the Team FIRE@X. We bring to you yet another edition of Samhita.

This edition has articles on some very thought provoking issues related to Industrial Relations.
“The hands that rock the cradle have the power to rule the world”, goes a famous saying but it is only off late that these hands have been given their due importance. Women have always been an underrepresented lot in almost all possible fields. But with the changing times, perceptions about women and their roles in the professional front has also changed and women are no longer being shunned from areas which were earlier considered taboo for them. On these very lines, we bring to you this month’s Samhita where the readers will get a chance to read about the impact that women can have on Industrial relations.
The issue has an insightful article by Adwitya on another important aspect of Industrial Relations, workers participation in management. The article brings to the light the pros and the cons of involving the workforce in decision making of organizations. Making for an interesting read in the issue is a take on the unionization of the unorganized by Akanksha Jain. We also bring to you a discerning take on the issue of Changing contexts and challenges for conciliators by Professor Jerome
Joseph.
This month’s issue features an interesting poetic representation of a union man apart from a crossword to tickle the grey cells of the readers.
Samhita has been a novel

Universities have expanded their curricula to include courses for women, even hospitals have changed their policies pertaining to childbirth in directions originally propounded by women's movement activities; i.e. developing birthing centres etc. These examples…
