Industrials Sector
Mining, manufacturing, and utilities are the major components of the industrials sector. Industrial development needs to occur in an ecologically sustainable way. Many policy tools concentrating exclusively on the demand for manufacturers can aid an inclusive and sustainable industrialisation procedure. The industrial growth is usually seen from the supply side but demand also plays a major role in the development of the industrials sector. The industrials sector will grow only when there is a sufficient demand in the market. The income level and consumer spending pattern are two main factors that drives demand for industrial products.
Annual General Meeting
Annual General Meeting is the yearly meeting of the members and shareholders of the firm, company and organisation. During the Annual General Meeting, the company proposes several resolutions such as audited accounts, remuneration report, election and re-election of directors. In order to pass a resolution at an AGM, the members of a company will have to vote on the resolution either against or in favour of it. There cannot be a gap of more than 15 months between the two consecutive AGMs. If a company is organising an AGM for the first time, then it is not allowed to take an extension for the meeting.
