Upbeat on rural prospects, DCB Bank focuses on tractor loans
DCB Bank on Thursday said it is seeing a good business prospect from rural areas and wants to focus on "encouraging" tractor loans demand from the farming community . The bank is offering customised loans in Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha and Rajasthan, which saw a growth in demand last year. The bank is positive about rural prospects, as evident from sales in Q2 FY21, and is expecting incremental growth in business, DCB Bank said in a release on Thursday. Citing a recent Crisil report that tractor sales were up by 12 per cent in the first half of FY21, the lender said good monsoon and higher crop production generally support farm incomes and this in turn provides a fillip to tractor demand. Typically, fortunes of the tractor loan business depend on the vagaries of the weather and the harvest season among other macro and micro variables, it said. "The sale of tractors shows a heartening trend, it has posted ... » Learn More about Upbeat on rural prospects, DCB Bank focuses on tractor loans

The Scholar who loved India
'Professor Christopher Alan Bayly was undoubtedly the tallest of his generation. For so many of his students who were privileged to be taught by him he was much more than the rarest of rare scholar.' I moved to Delhi's prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University, JNU, from the sedate and disciplined portals of Loreto Convent College, Lucknow. Rulers Townsmen and Bazaars: North Indian Society in the Age of British Expansion 1780-1870 . The author was Christopher Alan Bayly. B y 1987 Bayly's influential book had made the critical career decision for me: I was ready to leave for Cambridge to do a PhD with this esteemed professor. I was excited, but very tense. It was my first trip abroad. My first aeroplane journey. But even if I felt confident to handle all the logistics of travel and appropriate dress I was less than sure of how the first meeting with Professor Bayly would go.

Relocation helps alleviate poverty in Tibet
Living in an extremely harsh environment at high altitude is one of the primary causes of poverty in the Tibet autonomous region. To solve it, the region has relocated people to more favorable places over the years. For residents of Bupal village, it paid off. Bupal is located in steep, treacherous terrain in Tsawarong township in Tibet's Zayul county. Bordering Yunan province, the township is remote and lacks farmland — typical of such poor villages before 2015. Relocating residents changed everything for the better. The people of Bupal had lived on steep mountain slopes. Their shared problems included difficult transportation, unsafe drinking water and poor housing. With an investment more than 70 million yuan ($11 million), more than 400 families and single residents of Bupal and five other communities of Tsawarong were relocated to Rongmad in Zayul county in 2015, wherre the average altitude is 1,600 meters, far lower than Tibet's average of 4,000 meters. There's a ... » Learn More about Relocation helps alleviate poverty in Tibet

London: A UK court will on Thursday decide on the extradition of wanted diamond merchant Nirav Modi, who remains behind bars in a London prison as he contests his extradition to India on charges of fraud and money laundering in the estimated USD 2-billion Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam case. The UK court's ruling will put an end to Nirav Modi’s nearly two-year-long legal battle in the PNB scam case. The 49-year-old is expected to appear via videolink from Wandsworth Prison in south-west London at Westminster Magistrates' Court, where District Judge Samuel Goozee is set to hand down his judgment on whether the jeweller has a case to answer before the Indian courts. The magistrates' court ruling will then be sent back to UK Home Secretary Priti Patel for a sign-off, with the possibility of appeals in the High Court on either side depending on the outcome. Nirav Modi was arrested on an extradition warrant on March 19, 2019, and has appeared via videolink from ... » Learn More about PNB scam: Will Nirav Modi be extradited to India?
