Consolidation In Indian Banking Industry – Need Of The Hour, Syed Ahsan Jamil, Bimal Jaiswal, Namita Nigam Jul 2008

Consolidation In Indian Banking Industry – Need Of The Hour, Syed Ahsan Jamil, Bimal Jaiswal, Namita Nigam

Business Review

This study is aimed at trying to unravel the fast and metamorphic changes been brought about within the Indian banking industry. With the government in India clearly specifying that it will liberalize the entry of foreign banks in India by 2009 alarm bells have started ringing for underperforming banks who largely nurtured under government protection and lack of competition. It is now a fight for survival. Consolidation seems to be the only viable solution for most of theses beleaguered banks.

What Is Economic Self-Reliance?, Paul C. Godfrey Apr 2008

What Is Economic Self-Reliance?, Paul C. Godfrey

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

Editor's Note: This issue begins our third year under the banner ESR Review. ESR stands for economic self-reliance, and we have published a number of themed issues addressing particular issues of development and self-reliance. When I first became involved in this project, my task was to define what we mean by economic selfreliance and to create a theory-based model of how individuals and families can become more self-reliant. The next four issues will center on the different elements of the model. This issue focuses on the role of human capital in economic development and self-reliance.
