Preliminary Assessment Of Client Interest In And Needs Of The New England Environmental Finance Center, New England Environmental Finance Center, University Of Southern Maine

Planning

The New England Environmental Finance Center (NE/EFC) has been conceived as a knowledge-based clearinghouse, training, and change-agent program aimed at helping EPA's constituencies find financially successful approaches to environmental improvements.

Rural Credit And Self-Help Groups: Micro-Finance Needs And Concepts In India By K G Karmakar, New Delhi: Sage Publications,1999., M S Sriram

IIMB Management Review

Microfinance is the latest buzzword in developmental circles. Inspired by the success of the Grameen Bank experience of Bangladesh and its extensive documentation, there are several experiments being carried out in India as well. Naturally, literature about these experiments follows. Rural Credit and Savings is one sector which has been damaged almost beyond repair by the excessive intervention of the state and therefore people are trying to look at unconventional solutions. In the light of immense action happening in the microfinance sector, Karmakar’s book is not only timely but also an important addition to the existing literature.

Angelo King Institute for Economic and Business Studies (AKI)

On the one extreme are the large conglomerates that have the muscle to withstand major shocks and the on other are the smaller entrepreneurial ventures that are flexible and able to seize upon opportunities quickly.
