Banking today is a flourishing industry, focused on technological innovation. Internet banking has emerged as the biggest focus area in the “Digital Transformation” agenda of banks.
In 2012-13, Indian banks deployed technology-intensive solutions to increase revenue, enhance customer experience, optimize cost structure and manage enterprise risk. However, there is a wide variation in the technology agendas and implementation capability across different players of the banking industry:

Internet banking:
The shift towards internet banking is fuelled by the changing dynamics in India. By 2020 the average age of India will be 29 years and this young consumer base is internet savvy and wants real time online information. Indian banks therefore need to aspire high and move toward implementing a world class internet banking capability
Business intelligence
India’s banking industry is on the cusp of a major transformation, with new banking licenses expected to bring in more players in an already competitive environment. In such an environment, banks across India are increasingly adopting business intelligence (BI) and analytics to drive their overall profitability
BI has also encouraged banks to adopt BI to increase transparency and control over the banking business. The Automated Data Flow (ADF) initiative has been a strategic step in this direction, seeking to ensure submission of correct and consistent data from banks’ systems to the RBI without any manual intervention.
Mobile banking
Mobile banking continues to be a focus area for all banks in India. Our survey indicates that they are not only looking at this channel as a way to increase their customer engagement in urban areas, but also to reach out to new ones in rural regions, and thereby significantly further their financial inclusion agenda.

Financial inclusion
The spread of digital connectivity and mobile phones have created attractive opportunities in the Indian financial inclusion landscape. In particular, technology promises to enable hundreds of millions of people to access financial services for the first time due to its wide reach, convenience and low cost of delivery.
India is experimenting with several new ideas in financial inclusion in almost all areas requiring immediate focus — banking and payment channels, technology platforms, regulatory. Significant progress is required in financial inclusion, as indicated clearly by the World Bank Findex Survey 2012

MOBILE BANKING ADOPTION IN INDIA

In India, the situation of the banks is quite different from the banks overseas particularly in developed markets. Indian banks are not facing huge write downs or losses and are still quite well capitalized. Globally, the IT spends of financial institutions are expected to go up drastically in 2014-15 In India, however, this could be an opportune moment for banks to focus on the internal processes and consolidate their IT platforms across functionalities to use technology as an effective strategic tool. The use of technology in India has undergone rapid transformation. The last two decades have witnessed a sea change in the nature of services offered by not only banks but also the financial sector and even the Government - all of which have had a positive impact on the customers of these organizations and the general public at large.

Financial Services are generally complex and need a lot of trust for the consumer to use technology. Banks have changed from paper-based banking solutions provider to the latest of the technologies like online-banking, mobile-banking, etc. It is surprising to know as to why most of the Indian customers have not welcomed this up gradation. Customers across the world, even technologically optimists, have refrained from using technology aided solutions. There are many reasons why technology has not been able to ride the acceptance wave and cross the hurdle and become an acceptable feature in banking. As today‟s banking has

FACTOR 1: ACCESS PROBLEMS It is the most important factor, Accessing Problem statements such as `Possibility of error is higher than Internet Banking , Using key code list with mobile phone is complicated and Mobile phone is an unpractical device for banking emerge with good positive correlations. The great influence on the adopters not to have mobile banking services.
FACTOR 2: DISSATISFACTION Four variables load on to this factor. `Dissatisfaction' is the second significant factor, which accounts of the variations. The statements `Data transmission is very slow , Mobile banking services are risky and not secure, Mobile banking services are not enough versatile and Its use has been a disappointment by others signify that the non-adopters have seen the dissatisfaction among the users of mobile banking services.
FACTOR 3: INABILITY TO PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE This is another crucial factor, which is reflection of variations. The statements of insufficient guidance is there for using mobile banking and its use is complicated which reflects that consumer behavior tends to be based on how a given problem is to be solved. In this research, the non-adopters of mobile banking are afraid of being the usage of new technology due to the complications in the systems and, moreover, no proper guidance is provided to them.

DISCUSSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The banks providing mobile banking services to their customers, wishing to increase their customer share by removing all the above-discussed hurdles in the way of adoption of mobile banking services, may find relevant information from the findings. The factors appear to be defined by a mix of items that are reflections of problems in supplier side of the services and functionality of a mobile phone as delivery medium for banking services from the customer side. As the Internet banking is still in its growing stage, mobile banking has emerged as the next advance way of doing banking. Since the pace of technology advancement is not matching with the adoption rate, problems will arise if this widened gap is not going to be filled up with suitable measures. This negative effect of accelerating pace of development is manifested in services that are launched at an early stage of development process due to competitiveness and cost pressures.
As a consequence, competence of service quality, does not reach an adequate level; consumers feel that service-providers are not responding to their needs. An example of that is the support for the item services are not enough versatile. In addition, emphasizing technology in service offering may result in ignoring certain fundamental prerequisites required for acceptance. Technology is an enabler a way to build up a new delivery channel, but communicating only technological features other elements of services such as service content. Technology-based electronic delivery medium does not constitute service offering and creates value alone, but service content has to function properly and the way of usage has to be known. Another main impediment seems to be functionality of a mobile phone as delivery medium for banking services. Mobile phone, obviously is not designed for this type of services: For instance, key board is relatively small, which makes it more prone for correcting errors in keeping the figures. Results indicate that consumers get disheartened by the complicated functions while accessing the mobile banking services which lead them to the dissatisfaction level as no proper guidance is to be provided to them. The fact is that the factor risk and security are the most considerable significant factors for banking service adoption, and particularly in relation to `new' electronic environment. The result of perceived risk on the adoption of mobile banking services appears to indicate that consumers are serious about the risk of conducting banking via a wireless channel, measured in terms of overall security and trustworthiness of the services offered. On the basis of the findings, it is suggested that service providers be aware of the problems of their customer base using mobile services. This kind of data has its value when designing new services and products or implementing market communications. In addition, information gained from experience with Internet banking and other modes of electronic banking cannot be straightforward implemented to mobile banking service customers. Given the increased competition and pressures to cut expenses, financial institutions have to be able to make informed decisions on resource allocation. Thus, research of this kind is of critical importance.

CONCLUSIONS

It is well recognized that mobile phones have immense potential of conducting financial transactions thus leading the financial growth with lot of convenience and much reduced cost. For inclusive growth, the benefits of mobile banking should reach to the common man at the remotest locations in the country. For this all stakeholders like Regulators, Govt, telecom service providers and mobile device manufactures need to make efforts so that penetration of mobile banking reaches from high-end to low-end users and from metros to the middle towns and rural areas. Inclusion of non-banking population in financial main stream will benefit all. There is also need to generate awareness about the mobile banking so that more and more people use it for their benefit.

...are often used interchangeably to describe work which previously was done with paper, but which now has been adapted to information & communication technology (ICT) devices and software. The Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) has defined information technology (IT) in the electronic era as "the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware." IT entails processes involving the use of computers and software to create, convert, store, process, transmit, and retrieve information securely. The term has recently been broadened to ICT (Information and Communications Technology), so as to include the idea of electronic communication. To be paperless means essentially that the traditional paper-based practices-such as writing, note taking, reading, editing, communicating, and even drawing-are instead performed electronically with ICT devices and software. Much has been said and written about the paperless office in recent years, and the rapid development of ICT is enabling an increasing number of paperless practices. The relationship between paperless work styles and ICT is intimate and interdependent; a paperless work and lifestyle cannot be implemented without ICT, and the use of ICT should naturally lead to becoming paperless. Paradoxically, however, the consumption of paper has increased exponentially since the advent of personal...

...Learning Letter To be honest I’ve never been an excellent writer. When it comes to writing a paper for high school classes, scholarships, and basically everything else I’ve always had trouble with starting my paper and figuring out what to write about my topic. However, choosing a topic has never been a problem for me because I’m passionate about many different things. Whenever I would write a paper in high school I usually wouldn’t spend much time on it because of a couple different reasons, either the teacher chose a topic for me and I simply wasn’t very interested, and also because of procrastination. I believe this class will help me become interested in writing which will motivate me to do the work. As a person I’ve always been more of a reader than a writer. I started reading fantasies like the Lord of the Rings novels at a young age. During my freshmen year of high school I was introduced to writers and poets like Charles Bukowski, Allen Ginsberg, and Hunter S Thompson, and I’ve been reading similar works ever since. One thing that I’ve always wanted to do with writing is being able to write poetry similar to Bukowski. I’m hoping this class can help with that. Even though this class is obviously required to take I’m excited to be in it so I can improve on the things that I struggle with in writing. By the end of this quarter I want to be able to choose a topic, start the paper with ease, and also be able to generate ideas about the topic easily. I’m excited to see what...

Initially I would approach it as preparing my writing down note. Next, I proof read my work and correct the grammar and punctuation. Often, I will have someone read it for composition and clarification of my sentences. Finally, I would prepare my final copy. I have felt so much less pressure knowing that my writings don’t have to be perfect the first time. This is why I really like how you give us the opportunity to revise our essays as many times as we need to get them to our satisfaction.

...How to Make Charcoal from Paper By Karren Doll Tolliver, eHow Contributor Homemade paper charcoal briquettes can be used in backyard grills.  Commercial charcoal for grilling food is expensive and can be harmful to the environment. However, industrious do-it-yourselves can make their own "charcoal" from newspaper. This reduces the amount of newspaper refuse as well as the amount of commercial charcoal consumed. In addition, no lighter fluid is needed with the homemade charcoal paper. Therefore, petroleum-based products are also conserved. Making your own charcoal takes only water and a washtub. The time spent forming the charcoal paper briquettes is negligible, although they need to dry for a couple of days in the sun. Things You'll Need • Washtub • Water • Old newspaper Instructions 1 Tear the old newspaper into pieces about the size of your hand or smaller. 2 Place all the torn newspaper pieces in the washtub. Cover with water and let sit for at least one hour. The newspaper will be ready when it is thoroughly saturated with water and is mushy to the touch. 3 Grab a large handful of the mushy newspaper. Form it into a ball about the size of a golf ball or ping pong ball, squeezing out as much water as you can. Repeat until all the mushy newspaper is in ball form. Discard the water. 4 Place the wet newspaper balls in the sun for at least two days. Do not let them get rained on. They must be completely dry and brittle. At this point they are ready for use in the same...

Writing Papers

...the assumption that I would only have to compose simple paragraph papers while also learning the ropes of grammatical writing. I was sadly mistaken. Through the semester Josh gave the class five writing assignments. They ranged from three to five pages long. Out of all the writing assignments I received my favorite was a four page paper I had to write an allegory of myself. My least favorite was a five page paper the whole class had to write.

What made this objective so interesting, yet so strenuous was the fact that my allegory had to be based upon a difficult time I have had in my life. My essay was littered with very detailed descriptors of my dreadful situation and Plato’s allegory. That is why this particular essay was my favorite. I8 was able to take a seemingly arduous task and break it down, in my own words, so that a reader would be able to comprehend “The Allegory of the Cave,” and still be able to relate to my allegory. The last essay due came just before my hand fell off. Before the class took our final exam we were obligated to write a five page paper as a whole. Josh told us we had to accomplish the task without his...
