...4 Agriculture 4.1 An important aspect of ‘inclusive growth’ in the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007–12) is its target of 4 per cent per annum growth in GDP from agriculture and allied sectors. This target is not only necessary to achieve the overall GDP growth target of 9 per cent per annum without undue inflation, but it is an important element of ‘inclusiveness’ since the global experience of growth and poverty reduction shows that GDP growth originating in agriculture is at least twice as effective in reducing poverty as GDP growth originating outside agriculture.

However, agricultural growth fell to 1.6 per cent in 2008–09; and a severe drought in 2009 (the worst in 37 years) produced virtually flat growth (see Table 4.1) because of major losses in kharif output which also led to high food price inflation. The setback in the second and third years of the Plan implies that an average growth rate of about 7 per cent per annum will be required in the remaining two years (2010–11 and 2011–12) if the Eleventh Plan...

...PART 3 GROWING THE PRIVATE SECTOR CHAPTER 17 INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS Institutions refer to arrangements and processes for the purposeful administration or management of a polity or the management of an entity. The importance of institutions will probably be best understood from the governance perspective. In this regard, we recall that governance is 111 primarily concerned with two inter-related issues. These are (a) existence of societal institutions for managing social relations; and (b) the degree of independence enjoyed by each institution in the performance of its assigned duties. Hence, the state of institutions along these two dimensions determines the quality of governance. Herein lies the desirability of assessing the current state of institutional setting in which ODSEEDS would be designed and implemented. For the purpose of our discussion, we have identified three major groups of stakeholders around which institutions could be appraised. These groups comprise (a) the government (public sector), (b) business (private sector); and (c) civil society (the people). These are the three primary partners (3PP) in the development process of any nation. The characteristic of each partner group in Ondo State are highlighted briefly as follows: 17.1 The Public Sector Ondo State has a seasoned executive arm of government, a legacy it inherited from the early 60s. The state’s civil service is blessed with competent technocrats and is expected to serve as...

...Although women in Bangladesh make a direct and equal contribution to that of men in economical contributions, their productive worth is not acknowledged by this male‐dominated society. Some principal reasons for the lack of recognition include the inferior social and religious status of women, seclusion through systematic segregation, negligible legal and property rights ,sex discrimination in gaining access to economic activities, lack of valuation of women's activities, and absence of government policies regarding women’s development. Male‐dominated Bangladesh society undervalues women's work by paying them less than men with the same workload and even with the same output. Credit is taken over by their male counterparts (husbands). This report explores the contribution of women in Agriculture, SME and RMG sectors that would recognize women's labor and incorporate women incomprehensive development activities throughout Bangladesh. INTRODUCTION: Bangladesh has a population around 140 million (July 2011EST.). About 45% of them are still living below the poverty line. Bangladesh’s Human development index (HDI) is 139 (out of 177), ranking as the lowest in the Asian country list. Although women in Bangladesh make a direct and equal contribution to that of men in ECONOMICS.

...behind these outcomes. Agriculture provides employment to over 50% of the workforce and the forward and backward linkages associated with its growth have a considerable effect on the incomes of the non agricultural sector. Contributing not only to the overall growth of the economy, but it's role in reducing poverty by providing employment and food security, makes it one of the most inclusive growth sectors of the Indian economy. The deceleration in growth during the period 1997-2004, occurred in almost all the states and sub-sectors, including horticulture, livestock and fisheries where growth was expected to be high. While there was an emphasis on price factors following the economic reforms of the 1990s due to the implementation of the WTO agreement, it was at the cost of non price factors like research and extension, irrigation and credit. Aided by fluctuating rainfall, undeveloped irrigation facilities, groundwater depletion and the absence of a sign of a second green revolution along with a sharp decline in agricultural productivity in states like Punjab and Haryana gave an impression of a depressing scenario with agricultural growth, amounting to only 1.6% per annum. However there have been positive developments in the last decade with the introduction of new policies and initiatives by the government which have led to an emergence of a positive picture with growth now 3.5% per annum. POLICIES The turning point came with the Mid-Term Appraisal of the Tenth Five...

...When Bangladesh came into existence on the 16th December, 1971, the banking sector of Bangladesh was in a total disarray. With the exception of two local banks incorporated in then East Pakistan, all the bigger local banks became in operational. Starting with such a humble condition, the Banking Sector of Bangladesh has grown to a great extent. The banking industry in Bangladesh has flourished over the years, making double-digit profit percentages, sustaining growth and surviving cut-throat competition while providing attractive returns to shareholders. The number of banks in all now stands at 49 in Bangladesh. Out of the 49 banks, four are Nationalized Commercial Banks (NCBs), 28 local private commercial banks, 12 foreign banks and the rest five are Development Financial Institutions (DFIs). Sonali Bank is the largest among the NCBs while Pubali is leading in the private ones. Among the 12 foreign banks, Standard Chartered has become the largest in the country. The number of total branches of all scheduled banks is 6,038 as of June 2000. Of the branches, 39.95 per cent (2,412) are located in the urban areas and 60.05 per cent (3,626) in the rural areas. Of the branches NCBs hold 3,616, private commercial banks 1,214, foreign banks 31 and specialized banks 1,177. [pic] Janata Bank is a state-owned commercial bank of Bangladesh established in 1971.

...of food next to China, and has the potential of being the biggest with the food and agricultural sector. The food processing industry is one of the largest industries in India-it is ranked fifth in terms of production, consumption, export and expected growth. The food industry is on a high as Indians continue to have a feast. Fuelled by what can be termed as a perfect ingredient for any industry - large disposable incomes - the food sector has been witnessing a marked change in consumption patterns, especially in terms of food. Increasing incomes are always accompanied by a change in the food basket. The proportionate expenditure on cereals, pulses, edible oil, sugar, salt and spices declines as households climb the expenditure classes in urban India while the opposite happens in the case of milk and milk products, meat, egg and fish, fruits and beverages. For instance, the proportionate expenditure on staples (cereals, grams, pulses) declined from 45 per cent to 44 per cent in rural India while the figure settled at 32 per cent of the total expenditure on food in urban India. A large part of this shift in consumption is driven by the processed food market, which accounts for 32 per cent of the total food market. It accounts for US$ 29.4 billion, in a total estimated market of US$ 91.66 billion. The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has estimated that the food processing sector has the potential of attracting US$ 33 billion of investment in 10 years and generate employment...

...ure CHAPTER- 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 NEED FOR BANKS With the increase in population and trust of people in the banks, the banks started to perform many other functions to facilitate the different sectors of economy in addition to their basic functions of accepting deposit and lending money. Because of expansion in banking business, it became very difficult for banks to perform the entire functions just under one roof. So the banking experts decided to divide the banks according to their importance and functions. 1.2 TYPES OF BANK 1) Chartered Bank: These are the banks, which are established by the order of king (Royal Order). They perform the same functions like other commercial banks or the function which are laid down in their charter. For instance, Chartered Bank of England. 2) Banks according to registration: i) Scheduled Banks These are the banks, which are registered in the list of central bank. They are bound to follow the instructions and policies of central bank. For instance, United bank, Allied bank, MCB bank etc. ii) Non-scheduled Banks These are the banks, which are not registered in the list of central bank. They are not bound to follow the instructions and policies of central banks. 3) Banks according to ownership: i) Government Banks These are the banks, which are owned by central or provincial government of any country. The government is responsible to frame and control the policies of these banks and it has also right to receive all benefit and...

...Evolution The origins of the State Bank of India can be traced back two hundred years to the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta. The keen interest shown by the directors of the bank in maintaining records found an echo in 1975 when R.K. Talwar, a former chairman of the State Bank, commissioned an account of the bank's evolution from its earliest days. Banking in those days was a far cry from what it is today-an unbiased, uniform system that has led to increased purchasing power across classes. At the time, even though the rupee was the unifying currency, there also existed a confusing array of coinage whose value could vary by the region. Besides the cowrie-sea shells brought in from the Maldives-were the sicca, the Arcot rupee, notes issued by various banks and copper, silver and gold coins that the British tried to introduce as a standard coinage. Only the wealthy Indians and the Europeans had any use for bank notes-for the greater part of the population even the lowly copper coin had a purchasing power beyond their day-to-day needs. Rates of interest, while regulated for the banks to a maximum of 12 per cent, were exorbitant for the peasants, labourers and artisans with 50 per cent being fairly standard. The organizational set-up had its own share of anomalies, with salaries far lower for Indians than Europeans. The highest an Indian could aspire to was the position of khazanchee, a thankless job whose responsibility was equal to that of the secretary and treasurer...

...Agriculture is central to economic growth and development in Pakistan. Being the dominant sector it contributes 21.4 percent to GDP, employs 45 percent of the country’s labour force and contributes in the growth of other sectors of the economy.
