ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK INSTITUTE Financial Inclusion, Regulation, Literacy, and
Book SynopsisFinancial inclusion and financial education are becoming increasingly recognized as key requirements for sustainable and inclusive growth, and have been recognized as such by international fora such the Group of Twenty (G20) and the OECD. However, countries in Central Asia and the South Caucasus region have generally lagged in this area. Aside from Kazakhstan, the levels of financial inclusion are substantially below the average level of developing economies. Moreover, there has been little study of the determinants of and barriers to the development of financial inclusion and financial literacy in this region.In this study, prominent scholars in each country examine recent trends in financial inclusion in seven countries—Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan—for both individuals and small and medium-sized firms (SMEs); institutional and regulatory barriers to the expansion of financial inclusion; and policy options to support greater financial inclusion while maintaining financial stability. The book also examines issues related to the assessment of financial literacy and promotion of financial education to support greater financial inclusion in the region.One prominent feature of the region is the relatively slow uptake of innovative financial technologies that could promote financial inclusion such as mobile phone banking, crowd funding and peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms. This book examines the barriers to such development, as recommends policies to facilitate the introduction of such technologies.

Rupa Publications India Pvt Ltd. ON THE TRAIL OF THE BLACK: Tracking Corruption
Book SynopsisThe colour blackoses its grandeur the moment it is used in the context of corruption. In theast few decades, the spectre of corruption in India has only increased and has become a reality so grim that most of us have accepted it as fait accompli. Further, the abuse of power, position and privilege for personal gain is rampant. Corruption and black money are festering sores that are holding us back in the race towards development.Since 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has displayed strong political intent and an unambiguous resolve to uproot this menace.

Further, concrete steps to uproot corruption are also suggested.

Given the richness, diversity and depth of the subject, this authoritative volume is a valuable reference to every citizen who dreams of a corruption-free India.

Springer, India, Private Ltd Climate Sensitive Adaptation in Health: Imperatives for India in a Developing Economy Context
Book SynopsisThis book focuses on the risks that climate change poses for the health sector. It discusses the current vulnerabilities to climate-sensitive diseases, the resultant mortality and morbidity in human populations, the projected risks in connection with increasing global warming, and the options for tackling the adverse impacts of climate change. Adapting to climate change so as to effectively address the risks for and adverse impacts on the health sector requires an in-depth understanding of current deficits in health sector preparedness for climate-sensitive illnesses, as well as future plans and programs for increasing adaptive capacity and building resilience.The book situates climate and health adaptation concerns in the broader context of developing countries, providing insights that can be useful for other countries as well, helping them further their health adaptation efforts. In India, poverty and inadequate access to basic water, health and sanitation services combine with climate-related events to adversely impact health outcomes. Three case studies on the occurrence of heat stress, flooding, and extreme cyclonic events in India are presented along with a critical assessment of the level of preparedness and capacity of healthcare facilities to respond to the threats posed by climate change. The book presents the key challenges faced in reducing the risks posed to the health sector by climatic factors, and highlights the most important opportunities for promoting resilience and adaptation to achieve sustainable development.Dr. Dasgupta’s excellent book reviews the health risks of climate change, outlines an operational framework for health adaptation, and describes the socioeconomic context for adaptation in India. - Kristie L. EbiProfessor, Departments of Global Health, and Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, University of Washington, USAThis pioneering work contributes to an the understanding of the preparedness in India to manage health risks from such (climate) change on the basis of detailed data analysis, both from large national surveys and contextualized field based surveys.- Kanchan ChopraFormer Director and Professor, Institute of Economic Growth, New Delhi, IndiaTrade ReviewClimate change is already causing morbidity and mortality, with risks projected to increase significantly in coming decades if no additional public health preventions are implemented. The impacts disproportionally affect populations in low- and middle-income countries. Dr. Dasgupta’s excellent book Climate Sensitive Adaptation in Health: Imperatives for India in a Developing Economy Context reviews the health risks of climate change, outlines an operational framework for health adaptation, and describes the socioeconomic context for adaptation in India. Managing the current burden of climate-sensitive health outcomes, such as undernutrition, malaria, and diarrheal disease, means ensuring universal access to safe water, improved sanitation, vaccination, and child health services, and enhancing disaster risk management as extreme weather and climate events increase in frequency and intensity. Developing effective and efficient longer-term adaptation policies and programs requires capacity building at local to national levels, enhanced and sustained surveillance, early warning systems, and research and development. The book provides much needed critical and practical insights for facilitating the transition to climate-resilient health systems. - Kristie L. Ebi Professor, Departments of Global Health and Occupational and Environmental Health Sciences, University of Washington, USAThis is a forward looking volume focusing on the interface between health policy and climate change, a subject little researched in India. Climate change is expected to result in an increase in extreme events such as cyclones, floods and heat waves. This pioneering work contributes to an the understanding of the preparedness in India to manage health risks from such change on the basis of detailed data analysis, both from large national surveys and contextualized field based surveys.The in-depth analysis provides insights into interventions required in health policy in the short run and directions for an innovative design of adaptation measures in the longer run. The study, a first of its kind will be of interest to experts in health policy and researchers working on climate change, adaptation measures and sustainable development. - Kanchan ChopraFormer Director and Professor, Institute of Economic Growth, New Delhi, India Table of ContentsIntroduction: Climate Risks in the Health Sector.- Climate Change Adaptation: The International Experience in Health.- Developing Economy Context for Adaptation Decision-Making.- Understanding Associations: Health, Socio-economic Wellbeing & Climate.- Analysing the Interface in Indian Plans and Policies.- Criticality of the Field: Three Case Studies.- Conclusion: Integrating Sustainable Development and Health Adaptation.

New Century Publications Indian Banking in the Globalised World
Book SynopsisBanking sector reforms have supported the transition of the Indian economy to a higher growth path, while significantly improving the stability of the financial system. In comparison with the pre-reform period, the Indian banking system today is more stable and efficient. Competitive pressures as well as prudential regulatory requirements have made banks risk-averse as reflected in their tendency to investment in relatively risk-free gilt instruments. The present book addresses issues like Basel - II Accord guidelines, second generation banking sector reforms, cost-benefit and productivity analysis of Indian banks, danger zone banks, privatisation and comparative efficiency of Indian banks and the recent reform measures.

New Century Publications Co-operative Banks in India & Select Countries
Book SynopsisIn a market-oriented economy, the terms of contract are frequently weighted in favour of persons of large means. Those who have the command of scarce resources are left free to drive a bargain with those who need such resources but are ill-equipped to compete for their possession. Co-operatives are institutional agencies for achieving social cohesion. In a country whose economic structure has its roots in the villages, co-operation is something more than a series of activities organised on co-operative lines. Basically, its purpose is to evolve a system of co-operative community organisation which touches upon all aspects of life. Co-operatives in India started as a means of ensuring, for the poorly equipped citizens, advantages which better placed persons were able to command by their own individual resources. The principle of mutual aid, which is the basis of co-operative organisation, and the practice of thrift and self-help which sustains it, generate a sturdy feeling of self-reliance which is of basic importance in a democratic way of life. By pooling their experience and knowledge and by helping one another, members of co-operative societies cannot only find the solutions of individual problems but also become better citizens. The present work explains and examines the functioning of co-operative banks in India and select other countries -- including Grameen Bank of Bangladesh -- to understand their role in the globalised world.

New Century Publications Human Resources Development (HRD): Theory and
Book SynopsisHuman beings are the heartbeat of an organization. They are the brain trust and think tanks of future strategies. Intangible assets, like human capital, decide the use of tangible and material resources innovatively to fulfil the objectives of any business entity. Human resources management (HRM) relates to formulation of strategies by business entities concerning selection, training and rewarding of their personnel. Human resources development (HRD) is concerned with the development of competencies and effectiveness of people working in an organization. The design of HRD system should strengthen corporate planning, production processes, marketing strategies, and budgeting and finance. Skills and knowledge are the driving forces of economic growth and social development for any country. Countries with higher levels of skills adjust more effectively to the challenges and opportunities in domestic and international job markets. As India moves progressively towards becoming a global knowledge economy, it must meet the rising aspirations of its youth. This can be partially achieved through focus on advancement of skills that are relevant to the emerging economic environment. The challenge pertains not only to a huge quantitative expansion of the facilities for skill training, but also to the equally important task of raising their quality. This book provides a vivid account of the various dimensions of HRD including, inter alia, knowledge management, competency mapping, socialization and orientation of employees, training and development, organizational culture and organizational health. It also sets forth the policies and programmes of the Government of India to empower all individuals through improved skills and knowledge to gain access to decent employment and ensure Indias competitiveness in the global market.
