Author : Dr.Dilpreet Kaur,Rakesh Mahajan,Dr.Amarjit S. Sidhu
Abstract :
Banking industry is the backbone of any economy. No economy can work properly without sound banking system. Accessibility of funds is an important dimension that holds the key to success i.e. whether the funds are easily available to the bottom of pyramid in an economy or not. Most of the rural beneficiaries face difficulties in accessing the finance in formal sector (Banking sector) and thus fall prey to exorbitant interest rates of informal sector (Moneylenders), depriving them from the benefits of various schemes and initiatives of the government. Various parameters related to access of funds such as time taken at bank, number of times a bank is approached, delay in sanctioning, pre visits, post visits, nature of staff, waiting time, sufficiency of loan, level of satisfaction were evaluatedin this research paper by taking a sample of Priority Sector Lending beneficiaries. It was found that different categories of beneficiaries had different set of needs related to accessibility which needs to be catered accordingly.

Name : Diversification Opportunities: Are Sustainability Indexes A New Option
Author : Kirti Jain,Dr. Neha Seth,Dr. Priyanka Bhaskar
Abstract :
The present study examines the interdependence among selected sustainable and conventional indices of the Indian economy. Econometric toolshave been utilised to explore the connection between sustainability and conventional indices of India.Findings from the analysis show a correlation between sustainable indices and traditional indices in the Indian economy. Still, the two stock market indices have not been integrated over the extended period, and both operate autonomously. In addition, no causality exists, so the current trend of one index can't be predicted by the past trend of another stock market price series. Based on findings, this study suggests that investment managers use sustainability indices for portfolio diversification, which are also helpful for regulators and policymakers.

Name : Strategies for Managing Electronic Waste: A Systematic Review of Literature
Author : Anjani Kothari,Dr. Anshika Sharma,Harsha Kumawat
Abstract :
Over the past two decades, the global market for electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) has experienced enormous expansion, and it is predicted that this growth will continue in the years to come. The fact that these products are winding up in landfills and recycling facilities presents lawmakers with a new hazard. To identify e-waste (Electronic waste) management strategies, this paper will conduct a systematic review of literature. The study uses the SALSA (Search, Appraisal, Synthesis, and Analysis) and PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses)framework for the systematic review of literature along with VOS viewer software which helps in creating a map based on text and bibliographic data and NVivo for creating a word cloud. Under the SALSA framework, SLR (Systematic Literature Review)is carried out in 4 steps.While in PRISMAstudies are evaluated at four levels.The research paper concludes that rules and regulations, take-back programs, EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility), reuse, repair, recycle, reducing, green computing, and registered e-waste collectors as the efficient strategies for the management of e-waste, and the same is represented through a model. This paper is used for future research.
