{tooltip}Performance of RRBs Before and after Amalgamation{end-texte}Abstract – The large scale persistence of rural poverty even after the first two decades of planning made the planners realize that achieving faster economic development alone may not bring about any significant reduction in rural poverty. The realization was based on the view that percolation of the benefits of growth to the rural poor has been hindered to a great extent by the existing inequitable distribution of productive resources like land and capital. Several policy initiatives were taken to ensure an easy flow of credit to the rural poor. The creation of regional rural banks (RRBS) in 1975 to cater exclusively to the credit needs of rural poor like small and marginal farmers, rural artisans and agricultural laborers was one such initiative. The Institution of RRBS was created to meet the excess demand for institutional credit in the rural areas, particularly among the economically and socially marginalized section although the co-operative banks and the commercial banks had reasonable records in terms geographical coverage and disbursement of credit. In terms of population group, the co-operative banks were dominated by the rural rich, while the commercial bank had a clear urban bias. In order to provide access to low cost banking facilities to the poor rural banking in India was started. Rural banks in those days mainly focused upon the agro sector. RRBs in India penetrated every corner of the country and extended a helping hand in the growth process of the country. It was envisaged to combine desirable qualities of co-operative banks and commercial banks in RRBs at the same time. It was emphasized that the role of RRBs would be to supplement and not supplant other institutional agencies already existing in the field. The Internal working group of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) suggested that merger and amalgamation of Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) may help in improving their health and viability, even as it sought to bring in new banks both public and private as sponsors of the merged RRBs.{end-tooltip} |

{tooltip}A Study of Electoral Jurisprudence of Indian Democracy{end-texte}Abstract – Mushrooming growth of Political Parties, especially growth of local and regional parties, arousing parochial and provincial feelings are rendering governments unstable and even creating problems in the formation of the governments. A number of governments in Centre as well as in States have fallen due to the multiplicity of political parties with different ideologies. Goa, Jharkhand, Bihar and Delhi are current examples in these regard. These occurrences have not only weakened the functioning of the parliamentary system but have also exposed the ugly faces of this system
We should seriously think over the change of parliamentary democracy into the presidential form of democracy though on experimental basis. A national consensus will have to be aroused first for pondering over all the pros and cons of the presidential form of democracy to do away with the indelible evils of parliamentary democracy with Prime ministerial despotism and governors as their agents as well as the fractured mandates of the people.{end-tooltip} |

{tooltip}An Overview Direct Tax Code in India{end-texte}Abstract – Taxes are sometimes referred to as direct taxes or indirect taxes. The meaning of these terms can vary in different contexts, which can sometimes lead to confusion. An economic definition, by Atkinson, states that “… direct taxes may be adjusted to the individual characteristics of the taxpayer, whereas indirect taxes are levied on transactions irrespective of the circumstances of buyer or seller.” (A.B. Atkinson, Optimal Taxation and the Direct Versus Indirect Tax Controversy, 10 Can. J. Econ. 590, 592 (1977)). According to this definition, for example, income tax is “direct”, and sales tax is “indirect”. In law, the terms may have different meanings. In U.S. constitutional law, for instance, direct taxes refer to poll taxes and property taxes, which are based on simple existence or ownership. Indirect taxes are imposed on events, rights, privileges, and activities. Thus, a tax on the sale of property would be considered an indirect tax, whereas the tax on simply owning the property itself would be a direct tax.{end-tooltip} |

It further studies the influence of offer size, offer price, premium on issue, listing price and the age of the company on the short run performance of IPO.

{tooltip}Effect of Study Habit on Academic Achievement{end-texte}Abstract – Habits occupy a prominent place from educational view point because the development of an individual’s life depends much on the habits. The construction of a person’s character, conduct and behaviour is based on habits. Education proves the significance of habits in learning. Habits are important from educational point of view as, the process of learning becomes easier and natural with the base of habits. They develop the powers of high quality thinking, contemplation logic and imagination. Study can be interpreted as a planned programme of subject matter mastery. It is essential to learning and fundamental to school life. It implies investigation for the mastery of facts, ideas, or procedures that as yet are unknown or only partially known to the individual. Any application of energy directed toward the learning of new material, the solution of a problem, the discovery of new relationships, or similar purposeful activity can be considered to be study. Study requires a purpose, and what one learns as a result of study depends largely upon the degree to which one succeeds in achieving that aim or purpose. Although for a number of years college students have constituted a selected group, failure is still one of the great tragedies in lives of college freshmen. Many pupils are able to develop efficient study habits without receiving any special formal training. However, these satisfactory habits may result from the use of several methods of study before satisfactory study procedures are discovered. Some pupils fail to achieve economical and successful study techniques unless they receive help in the form of guiding principles which they can apply to their study activities. In order to develop good study habits one may: Have a definite purpose for study; Have a definite place for study; Seek physical conditions that are favorable to concentrated mental activity; Plan and follow a definite time schedule for study; Intersperse study with rest periods. {end-tooltip} |
